Hey,

Not sure what to say other than - this is looking good!

Any thoughts about where “who’s using libcloud” fits in?

I really like the new blog, but it looks weird with so many short blog posts. 
Can we backfill the old release announcements with more texts? Or have a longer 
“libcloud roadmap” post ready to go? 

Cheers,
John
