Detailed Description
OpenStack is an open source cloud computing platform. It lets you set up your own cloud infrastructure, similar to public clouds like Amazon EC2, Azure, etc.
In Fedora 17 OpenStack Essex was packaged and in Fedora 18 we aim to package OpenStack "Folsom".
Folsom is not released yet, but is scheduled to be released roughly over the same development period as Fedora 18, and we are working closely with upstream to ensure this happens.
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora users will be able to deploy OpenStack clouds based on the latest version (Folsom).
Scope
This is mainly packaging work, involving updating existing packages and including new dependencies in the distribution. There are other possible aspects including:
- Support for PostgreSQL
- Upgrades from the previous Essex version
- Support for yum groupinstall openstack

Dependencies
