Open Stack

Hello, Flavio,

Thank you to move this forward. Is it possible to put the badges at the bottom of README.rst file? Just from the code contributors point of view.

Best Regards
Chaoyi Huang (joehuang)

One last thing. You may/may not like the placement of these badges in the README
file. It's fine if you don't. The reason they are at the top is because they
normally are at the top :) Putting them at the top also made it simple to
automate the process accross all the *very* (trust me VERY) different README
files across the community.

If you don't like the placement of these badges, you're free to move them around
as prefer. I've done the job to help pushing the first patch, you're all free to
take it over, modify it, reject it or just merge it as is.

Hope this helps,
Flavio
