At today's Fedora Cloud SIG meeting, we discussed something akin to this [1] but for cloud instances. Deltacloud [2] could be used to manage connections to different clouds and we can provide a simple gui dialog to configure providers. This would simplify the Fedora desktop / cloud integration experience and make deploying to the cloud from Fedora completely seamless.
Matt Miller suggested we add a feature but unfortunately I'm short on cycles, though it was mentioned that if we can come up with a good story / proposal for Fedora 19, something might be able to be arraigned. We also can see about pulling in the gnome design and implementation teams to help us out with this story.
Thoughts? Unless there are any strong objections, I'll write up a formal story / proposal for the Fedora wiki and we can take it from there.

Mo, I have done something like this (not a desktop app but sinatra app):
I also made a short screencast to demo it: https://vimeo.com/51806624
We can extend it and package it to fit nicely into fedora.

This is awesome Michal, would we be able to get this into Fedora 19? (I can write up the feature today and we can start working on promoting deltacloud / gnome-shell integration).

The packaging of this will be a small exercise:
gem 'data_mapper' gem 'dm-serializer' gem 'dm-constraints' gem 'dm-sqlite-adapter' gem 'resque' gem 'resque-scheduler' gem 'time-ago-in-words', :require => 'time-ago-in-words'
This stuff will need to be packaged, but I don't see any blocker here. App itself can be packaged as Deltacloud API (/usr/share/deltacloud-core) and integrated with Gnome (launchers, extensions, etc).
Unfortunately I don't have too much spare time to work on this :/ So if we find someone else to help us that will be awesome.

Ya not too concerned about packaging. We have plenty of packagers and will figure that out.
