Hi,

I would like to add a feature to the catalyst project. I would like to deli= ver the following:

Cat= alyst=C2=A0module which would be used to build AMI (amazon machine imag= es) and upload it directly to the AWS
  • Catalyst curr= ently produces Gentoo stages using spec files into which I would add a feat= ure to build AMIs in the same manner by using the spec file.
  • In this manne= r, user can generate AMIs from latest stages and configure their system in = whatever fashion they want without bloating there system with pre-generated= stages (which have unnecessary packages).
  • 'rich0= 9; (gentoo-dev=C2=A0R= ichard Freeman) has very nicely blogged about how to bootstrap Gento= o on EC2 [here]=C2=A0which I would be f= ollowing to write this module up inside of catalyst for which I would be us= ing Python.
  • User would be= expected to provide their AWS related information (like region, key pair).=
Currently, I'll be conc= entrating on AWS only but would be extending this to Openstack, Virtualbox,= DigitalOcean. I have a brief idea about the catalyst module (3.0 branch) a= nd have been following as well as contributing (some minor bug fixes) it fr= om past few months. I'd be really happy to contribute to the gentoo com= munity.

Please give me yo= ur feedback.
