Re: [openstack-dev] [PKG-Openstack-devel] The end of OpenStack packages in Debian?

I'd like to add that Thomas makes the best openstack packages by far.  He's
been a force of nature in packaging and his attention to detail is second
to none.

I hope they have gotten better.  Last time I tried to contribute to
Ubuntu's packaging effort they took over a ear to respond.

Re: [openstack-dev] [Openstack-operators] OpenStack Contributor Awards

[Silence Dogood]

I believe Eric Windisch did at one point run OpenStack on a pi.

The problem is that it's got so little ram, and no hypervisor.  Also at
least it USED to not be able to run docker since docker wasn't
crosscompiled to arm at the time.

It's a terrible target for openstack.  NUCs on the other hand...
