Er, kinda.  I've been committing to my own copy of the freedom-maker
tree [0], and including Plinth [1] and FreedomBox-Privoxy [2] in the
constructed image manually.  Look at freedom-maker/mk_dreamplug_rootfs.
You can add ownCloud / pyUnhosted there, or you can wait until this
weekend when I've cleaned up the mk_dreamplug_rootfs file further.

That's kind of my project for this week: clean up freedom-maker as best
I can, so it's easy to build upon.

I'd *love* to see Tor and PageKite in the default image.  I don't know
if there'll be time/expertise to get Tor into the image before EOY, but
we should be able to include PageKite, if nothing else.  Bjarni's two
line install instructions are confounding! :)
