Open Stack

Hello,

it's definately our bad that we missed elections in OpenStackSalt
project. Reason is similar to Rob's - we are active on different
channels (mostly IRC as we keep regular meetings) and don't used to
reading mailing lists with lots of generic topics (it would be good to
have separate mailing list for such calls and critical topics or
individual mails to project's core members).

Our project is very active [1], trying to do things the Openstack way
and I think it would be a pitty to remove it from Big Tent just because
we missed mail and therefore our first PTL election.

Of course I don't want to excuse our fault. In case it's not too late,
we will try to be more active in mailing lists like openstack-dev and
not miss such important events next time.
