Sorry, I might not have been very precise with my words.  I was talking
about helping people become effective at using OpenStack Clouds, not
building them.  i.e. How do I make sure that people who use my OpenStack
Cloud are able/excited to build great applications there?

I see this as tremendously important, in terms of driving cloud growth.
 If my users aren't abuzz with OpenStack enthusiasm, how will I get more
money for bigger and better toys?

Cheers,
James
