Either you aren't reading what I am writing or you can't read. I'm willing to bet I have written more lines of Open Source code over more years than you have. So don't start assigning some kind of evil capitalist motives on me. The fact that I don't have code going into enStratus that is not of use to OpenStack is not an indication that a) I have some kind of "everything-is-a-commercial-agenda" worldview or b) that I don't do Open Source or c) I don't think that some Open Source is a labor of love. OpenStack is a commercial agenda however. Pretending that it's a labor of love and people should feel lucky to get functionality is just daft. -George -- George Reese - Chief Technology Officer, enStratus e: george.re...@enstratus.com Skype: nspollution t: @GeorgeReese p: +1.207.956.0217 enStratus: Enterprise Cloud Management - @enStratus - http://www.enstratus.com To schedule a meeting with me: http://tungle.me/GeorgeReese
