Open Stack

A quick sidenote for anyone is using riot.im but not super familiar with it
like I did ...

Its global search could not cache all the openstack channels, therefore you
have to manually join them via their own cmd lines as I recently discover
the methods ..
1. add @appservice-irc:matrix.org for friend
2. type in the console : !join chat.freenode.net #openstack-xxx

For registration, it is more wacky but I found it on google anyways:
1. add @appservice-irc:matrix.org for friend
2. type in the console : !storepass chat.freenode.net PASSWORD
3. add NickServ(IRC) for friend
4. type in the console : identify NICK PASSWORD

viola ....
