Open Stack

Dmitry, thanks for your work over the last months.
I would like to personally thank you because you highly contributed to
the collaboration with Puppet OpenStack group, and after almost a
year, we can see that as a success story.

Fuel has some background because it was not part of big tent; efforts
to collaborate with OpenStack projects need to continue that way!
