Discussion Topics:
  - new image notification
    - use update-motd notification
    - landscape (quicker notification possibly) (possibly offer automated image rebundling with new kernel)
  - faster boot time and faster image initialization for ec2? (Removing non essential packages such as bluetooth and trimming the inits).
  - keep ami-tools and api-tools up to date for all supported images so users have acess to new ec2 functionality.
  - bundle alternative ami and api tools
  - Improve quality and quantity of documentation.
  - Define the release process.
    - Which milestones should we release images for? (EH releases all alphas, but has not seen them used)
    - announce new AMI's with more professional release announcements. AMI's should be listed on a webpage like on Alestic.com, not in the release email
  - Define image test process
    - ensure images run on UEC and EC2
  - Desktop images
    - In link with LTSP ?
    - Using another protocol than X or VNC : NoX or Ulteo
