Open Stack

Tim,

We sure we can fix it and we know how. The only problem is to somehow 
get a hand with reviewing and approvals speed? Is there any remedy for 
this? I've asked Michael already above in the thread, but I don't 
presume that it's possible even to allow one of us to become core 
reviewer for EC2 part of the nova? Or is it?

Best regards,
   Alex Levine
