Open Stack

I just chatted with the Python product owner at Red Hat, he says this is
going to make it's way to the next step later today (this past weekend was
a Fedora conference), so this should be happening soon.

Joe: Yup, I'm familiar with that piece (I had lunch with Vish the other
week and he's the one who suggested Swift as the best place to get started
with OpenStack + PyPy). For those who don't know I'm one of the core
developers of PyPy :)
