Open Stack

Thanks for asking Richard. The Board meeting notes with the CC-BY decision
are at:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/15Oct2012BoardMinutes#Approval_of_the_CCBY_License_for_Documentation

Alice King has a draft memo to go to the Board the next time it gets on the
Agenda with more details. I can certainly answer questions you have, though
I did delegate this chase to the appropriately named Nick Chase. :)

Thanks,
Anne
