I completely agree with the sentiments expressed. Rob has tackled the compatability problem, one of the most challenging in OSS, with unrelenting energy and good cheer (you need alot too!).

I had a great time on the board OpenStack Board, It's been a privilege serving with you and excited to see bring Allison uses her considerable open source experience into the fold. I believe that interoperability remains a critical factor for OpenStack; in fact, I'm shifting my focus to even broader cross-platform interoperability because I see that as a key to open cloud success. I encourage the board to look at interop as building a broader ecosystem than just within the project boundaries. This is not an OpenStack challenge alone but it is our opportunity to be true open software leaders. I'm happy to talk about this (or any topic!) with you individually. Thanks for the great years together.
