Open Stack

Thanks for the update, Ewan, and for the gentle encouragement for
open, transparent, and public discussions of design. Let's move the
discussions of the Network Service project forward! All involved:
please don't hesitate to contact me or this mailing list if you have
any questions at all about using Launchpad, working with blueprints,
or anything else process-related.

Cheers,

jay
