Open Stack

Hey!

I think we should add a discussion on the TC decision about OpenStack interop and the requirement that an OpenStack cloud must be able to boot a Linux guest for it to be considered "OpenStack"

I think this info is very important to the user community and at a minimum, some background and context needs to be disseminated, and a further discussion scheduled.
