Open Stack

Hi all -

The good folks at SuperUser <http://superuser.openstack.org/> are 
intrigued by this topic and interested in writing a feature.  I've 
compiled the feedback so far in this etherpad 
<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Billing-Chargeback>.  If there are any 
final thoughts please free to add to it 
<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Billing-Chargeback>.

If you have questions about the nature of the article or would like to 
be contacted about the subject matter, please reach out to Allison Price 
<mailto:allison at openstack.org> or Nicole Martinelli 
<mailto:nicole at openstack.org>.

Thanks!
Jimmy
