- Verify two of the network sockets work, and what the IP/subnet/DNS numbers to use are.
- Get setup on the project blog, start posting on it.
- Download and set up the latest CentOS, confirm kvm/libvirt/virt-manager work.
- Figure out what OpenNebula is capable of, how hard it is to set up, perhaps go through one setup.
- Read about iSCSI, check out OpenFiler, hopefully set it up, at least as a test if we don't yet have a dedicated box for the storage.
