Yes I see that now in the context of the thread. Mostly this is my mistake. I have seen the acronym used incorrectly so often the use in the subject line confused me and I posted partly to clarify for my own purposes and partly to set a data point for those who are using the acronym to mean openstack in an attempt to acknowledge its correct usage. I didn't mean to disturb the flow of conversation in your thread and if I have done so, please accept my apology. Thanks Steve, Anita. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
