Open Stack

Hi
The idea is to build own images using diskimage-builder, rather than 
downloading the image from external sources. By that way, the image can 
live in our mirrors, and is built using the same pattern as other images 
used in OpenStack.
It also opens the door to customize the images, using custom trees, if 
there is a need for it. Actually we rely on official tree for Fedora 23 
Atomic (https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/atomic/23/) as 
default.

Best,
Yolanda
