Open Stack

Hi all,

Thanks very much for those who got in touch after this email, either via
the etherpad, our subsequent meeting or regarding a potential sprint.

I'm pleased to announce that from our collection of volunteers we have
found a team of folks who not only live and breathe the precise problem
we're trying to solve, but have agreed to give up a week of their time
to solve it.

So, put the week of 30th of March in your calendar. We're going to need
review help! Details to follow!

Regards,


Tom
