I'm sending this only to the list, assuming that you receive it this
way. I subscribe to debian-cloud, so no need to add me in CC.

I've sent information to you. I haven't yet used Google Compute Engine,
so it might take a bit of time to become proficient, although gcutil
doesn't seem so scary :-)
Can you give me small task, so I can look into it as soon as I know
how to build image? I do not expect to have anything in less than
a week, so please do not give anything urgent..
Best regards.
