Thanks everyone!

It's been 2 years since I sent my first patch to libcloud (and boy did i start 
small: https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/17) and i'm very happy to become 
a committer. My personal interests and goals in libcloud are around improving 
introspection and making API's strongly comply with the core libcloud API's.

For example I recently fixed the self.fixtures['create_node'] metadata so your 
tools and scripts can reliably tell whether a create_node call takes a 
NodeAuthPassword or a NodeAuthSSHKey before you call it, and i'm working on 
making more implementations support the standard way of doing auth 
(https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/133/files).

I've also got a branch in the pipeline that changes hows tests are written so 
that we can have a "standard conforming" shared test suite that can be applied 
to all the drivers. I tested the idea on the LoadBalancers and it flushed out 
differences between the implementations. 
(https://github.com/Jc2k/libcloud/compare/trunk...test-proposal).

If you have any ideas, problems, suggestions or requests in this area please 
get in touch.

Cheers,
John
