Open Stack

Hey Adam,

As far as I understand it, there is already basic volume support within
nova, and that there are currently some suggested changes for the current
API.  We are planning to fit within that API as much as possible, and work
with the community to make any changes that may need to be made (an easy
example is snapshot support for snapshots in swift).

Most of our team will be at the developers summit, and look forward to
discussing it with others then.
