Open Stack

Sean,

I echo the other TC members in thanks for you leading up this process 
and doing it with transparency!

I voted for three top options, I believe, leaving the rest ranked as 
30th.  I believe they were:

     1.  Xenoblast

     2.  Xenomorph

     3.  Xenith

Why not Xanadu from me, people may ask?  Well, honestly, because I 
didn't want the song stuck in my head for 6 months.

Thanks!

Jay
