Open Stack

Anybody have any contacts with the NSF FutureGrid project: <https://portal.futuregrid.org/>

It looks like adding support for OpenStack is already on their todo list: 
* https://portal.futuregrid.org/projects/83
* https://portal.futuregrid.org/openstack-futuregrid


Also, is anybody from OpenStack going to SC'11? That's the big academic supercomputing conference / industry trade show: http://sc11.supercomputing.org/
