As an OSIC casualty, I want to thank Lauren for organizing this. While being hit by layoffs is extremely unpleasant, it's really awesome how supportive the OpenStack community has been--reaching out with job leads, offering general commiseration, as well as this practical effort to get us to the Boston Summit. I like working on OpenStack because we are tackling challenging problems and producing quality software, but also because OpenStack is a real community of developers working toward a common goal.
cheers, brian PS: I should give my special thanks to Lauren, I think I may have used up her frequent flyer miles.
