You can install ubuntu or any of the *nix flavor on outside of openstack (Like VirtualBox). And copy that .qcow2 at "/tmp/images/" and use this command to import it into openstack..
"glance image-create --name "Centos 7.2" --is-public true --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --file Centos-64.qcow2 " You have to install cloud-init package before importing image in openstack. This is the way I was using to copy our customize images in openstack.
