Patches always welcome, George. If you can't see that code you may write for enStratus might be globally useful, then you're missing the point of this open development community. And although there are many in this OpenStack community that work for a commercial entity and contribute code as such, there are many who don't -- and dismissing their contributions as "some Open Source labor of love" is degrading and shows the type of opinion you have towards anything that doesn't fit nicely in your everything-is-a-commercial-agenda worldview. If you care about something, then help to fix it. -jay _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
