Additionally the work done to hpuseast and hpuswest before coming to midcycle
was fantastic!  I don't want to list names (out of fear of missing anybody) but
with out the previous work that was done with bifrost, ansible and puppet I
can't imagine having a successful sprint.

Great work to everybody who contributed both at midcycle and before midcycle.
