I'm not sure what you mean by "something EC2 compatible, outside of EC2"...

I'm sorry, I should've mentioned.

I was talking about deploying these images on EC2 compatible clouds - like openstack / Eucalyptus.

Some of us aren't customers of Amazon's EC2 service, so it would be nice if there was some sort of "how to" build these AMIs.

Other than that, I'm happy to see a new FreeBSD release.

Take a standard FreeBSD disk image. The changes I've had to make are to work around quirks in EC2, so I suspect most or all of them wouldn't be needed on other clouds.

Great, thank you!
