[one-users] OpenNebula demo at Cloud Connect

[Michael Fairchild]

Hi Keith
  Glad the demo went so well, Congrats!
Great to hear Keith.  I'm definitely interested in seeing your chef recipes since we are in the process of switching from ubuntu to centos 5.4.
Even if they are not ready for general public consumption, I'd be interested in taking a look.
Cheers,
