Open Stack

Hi Clint,

This is done in collaboration with Joshua Harlow and the task flow team who
come up with the original proposal. We had a hangout session where we
defined a project scope and its relationship with task flow library.

We cant use name Convection as this is a trademark owned by Microsoft. We
saw the naming problems with Quantum, so we decided to pick up a name which
is not associated with any IT company.

Thanks
Georgy
