Now that veewee support creation of kvm images, it would be interesting to create openstack kvm images.

- [The documentation from openstack on building images](http://docs.openstack.org/cactus/openstack-compute/admin/content/creating-a-linux-image.html)
- [Building a centos image for openstack](http://envotechie.wordpress.com/2011/11/18/building-a-centos-6-image-for-openstack/)

In general it seems to require:

1. ext4
2. fstab no UUID labels + set uec-.. label for root filesystem
3. only 1 filesystem (no swap)
4. cloud-init or homebrew cloud-init

We could change the templates to do 1&2 but 3 (no swap) would not be a good default.
Step 4. could be done in an additional/default non-activated _openstack.sh script

Now I need to learn more about openstack
