Hi Steve:

Yes I see that now in the context of the thread. Mostly this is my
mistake. I have seen the acronym used incorrectly so often the use in
the subject line confused me and I posted partly to clarify for my own
purposes and partly to set a data point for those who are using the
acronym to mean openstack in an attempt to acknowledge its correct usage.

I didn't mean to disturb the flow of conversation in your thread and if
I have done so, please accept my apology.

Thanks Steve,
Anita.
