Hi Sassy -

A couple of ways to have Condor interact w/ OpenNebula come to mind:

1. The very next developer release (v7.5.6), currently feature-frozen 
and nearing public release in a week or two, added a GAHP and support 
for submission/management of Condor jobs into DeltaCloud.  And 
DeltaCloud supposedly interoperates w/ OpenNebula.

2. OpenNebula supports Amazon's EC2 protocol via a REST interface. 
Condor already includes a GAHP to provide EC2 via SOAP/web service 
interface, and we have recently written a GAHP that provides EC2 via 
REST as OpenNebula expects.  At UW-Madison we have been testing it 
against Amazon, and others in the Condor community have been testing it 
against the DOE Magellan cluster which I believe is using Eucalyptus   - 
if you are interested in helping to test/improve our new EC2 via REST 
GAHP against OpenNebula, that would be fantastic!

We haven't released this code yet in a public release as we are still 
testing (although public release for the DeltaCloud support is very 
soon), but you can grab the source via the git repository or by sending 
an email to condor-admin@xxxxxxxxxxx and asking for a binary copy (ask 
for Todd Miller in your email, he is the primary developer on this).

Also, below are the relevant development tickets on both of the above. 
Our development wiki is publically readable without a login - however, 
if you get a login (just request one via email to condor-admin), you can 
also see the source code patches associated with each ticket as well as 
leave remarks.
