Hi Steffen,

I really wish I would have been in Travenmünde and next in Southport, but end
of Januray does not fit well my agenda as I find intercontinental flights
devstating and I already go to Europe for Christmas.  But I will try to be more
present electronically this time.

For the cloud building tools, I am aware that there are plenty.  What I like
with my approach, is that it is not a cloud building tool: it is just the
standard Debian installer.  Following the spirit of the Debian Pure Blends, it
operates from whithin Debian.  It should really be nothing more than a simple
preseed file, with no programmatic parts.  In that sense, I think that
CloudBioLinux can also benefit from this approach as it will simplify
operations a lot.

Cheers,
