An interesting conversation on the Operators mailing list discussing request for small installation of openstack (about 3-5 nodes).

Adrian Turjak asked on the Development mailing list if there is any interest or need for an open-source user registration and management service for people using OpenStack. There seems to be a basic need a way for users to sign up themselves, choose their own password, and request new users to be added to their project. <A HREF="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-January/054438.html">David Chadwick</A> pointed to a <A HREF="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/vo-management">blueprint</A> and a <A HREF="http://icehouse.sec.cs.kent.ac.uk/">demo of the system for University of Kent</A>.<A HREF="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-January/054457.html">Enrique Garcia</A> also expressed interest in helping out in the effort.<BR>
