Open Stack

Hello,

@Mark,

For a newcomer, a desktop screen with basic explanation on the environment
(e.g., default user ID, default password, "/opt/stack" directory + 
upstream training logo if it is okay)
like http://www.flickr.com/photos/31838982@N08/7798881316/ (I searched 
on Google) would be nice I think.

For network connectivity on OpenStack instances, I usually used the 
following command. I am sure it will work well
: $ sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

@Ildiko,

IMO testing virtual machine environment is also a good topic for our 
sprint, so I updated on Etherpad.
And will our sprint be a kind virtual sprint, like 
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/VirtualSprints ?


With many thanks,

/Ian
