Open Stack

Hi Stefano ,

                  Thank you so much for the clarification. I can then
reasonably say that RackSpace owning openstack.sg and
openstack.com.sgdomains are for purely commercial/trademark reasons on
their own and not
relating to openstack.org or community-at-large. Its fine by me.

                   If nobody has done it then I have. I have initiated one
on wiki and we'll see how it goes from there. I would like to say a big
thank you to Atul and to Stefano for helping me and removing my doubts on
sensitive matters. I am sure I would need more help in future :)

                   Perhaps right now , I should do a quick and proper intro
about myself as well as my sincere apology for not doing that from the
start.

                   I have been involved with OpenSource since my Secondary
school (High School in US) days and been involved in various groups in
Singapore such as Linux Users Group and so on. I have also initiated Ubuntu
loco group in Singapore , pls kindly refer to my signature , and have been
actively participating since it was started. I could be contacted on
Freenode channel #ubuntu-sg or facebook page (for both teams) , as well as
this email. Of course , I am also on launchpad.

Regards
Billy
