Hi Anne,

So sorry I have not fixed the bug yet...even though it's been on my list of things to do.

Thanks very much for your patience! I still would like to work in OpenStack in the future.

When you say '...feel free to pick this up at another time', do you mean this particular bug (I see it's now assigned to Laura Clymer), or would I just get a different bug to work?

Suzanna
