Open Stack

Thanks a lot to all you amazing ladies. Its a pity why I didn't reach out
earlier. But better late than never.

Amy: thanks for pointing out, I had no idea they take people with a full
time job as well. I am on it now. :)

Aimee: That's just wonderful piece of information you shared, exactly the
pointers I was looking for. I'll have a thorough look at Models and get in
touch.

Ildikó: I might attend the one in London but not sure about that right now.
Plus I really appreciate your offering for help, I'll definitely get in
touch via IRC because I really could do with such kind of guidance.

Kind Regards,
Aqsa
