I am new to open stack and python. But I really liked the live community here and great suggestions that crop up. This one is seriously good and helps new people stay motivated. I installed dev stack on my sluggish laptop and that's all. Could not move any further. Looking forward to taking the next step. Keep up with the good work people.
