Open Stack

Hello.

Very interested, as always, to help. Will also solicit the volunteer help
of some of our colleagues, especially from our SG/PH friends.

Any additional pointers/materials to get things started I can also share
with them?

Will get back to you as soon as I check with teams (and their
free/available cycles).
