OpenShift?
For thoese who don't know (and ignoring buzz words and marketing speak) RedHat's OpenShift is a neat and easy way to deploy your apps into a live environment. And currently lets you host 3 web applications for free!
How?
Your code needs to exist in a Git repository (*) and whenever you git push to OpenShift:
it allocates a VM (called a gear)
it downloads Fantom and builds your pod
runs your app on a given port and maps it to a URL
It's virtually config free!
Write code, push, and ta daa! It's live!
(*) Mercurial lovers fear not, it only needs to be a local Git repo, which can co-exist along side Mercurial and other SCMs.
What's there for OpenShift at the moment is just a custom DIY application that you clone to get you started. It's good enough for most usages, as it lets you customise everything. But it'd be nice if it was converted to a OpenShift cartridge.
The way I read it, a cartridge is just a means to package up the action_hook scripts so you don't have include them in your application. That side of it sounds pretty straight forward, but then they have some funky ideas on how to dynamically resolve the Git repository to clone it from.
To be honest, I didn't read much more than that - the quickstart app is good enough for what I need for now.
Feel free to take my stuff further and question any design decisions made (like the name / format of the optional openShiftCmd.txt file).

Yeah, that's what I remember banging my head against a wall around, with their repository resolution.
I'll revisit this later when I have more time and see if I can contribute in any way.

Great work Steve! Glad to see you figured it out.

Thanks! I reused ideas from my Heroku buildpack.
