Welcome everyone - I cant wait work with you.
Especially Nitesh, I'm looking forward to seeing what we can come up with.
You guys will see me on IRC as "andyfitz". I'm awake when most others
aren't ;-)
Let's get this show on the road!

Hey all, I want to congratulate and introduce everyone to Samridh
whose
proposal [1] was selected to work on Aeolus as part of the Google Summer
of Code.
I also want to introduce Nitesh and Furhan, who'se Aeolus proposals [2]
[3] were also very strong but unfortunately were not selected due to the
limited number of slots we had available in the GSoC. Nitesh graciously
volunteered to still dedicate some time to help us out with the project
over the summer which is more than appreciated. I would like to thank
them both for their hard work on their proposals up to this point (all
three have been in regular contact to learn and setup the Aeolus
framework and determine what the project needs going forward).
Matt and I are starting to work with them to implement their strategies
to contribute to the project. Samridh is going to start by looking at
expanding aeolus-cli, currently we have image support and Martyn / Petr
are now adding support for providers and provider accounts. As part of
the GSoC project we will continue expanding this to support hardware
profiles, instances, and other conductor entities.
Nitesh is going to be working towards implementing a QT based
desktop-interface to the conductor API. He will begin by setting up a
new project on github w/ the basic QT application layout and expanding
it from there to support Conductor capabilities. He will also be looking
at expanding the conductor API to add new features as needed.
Overall I'd like to welcome them to the project and am looking forward
to helping drive there proposals and projects forward and continuing to
expand the community, especially at the student / collegiate level. You
may notice some traffic from them via email and irc in the upcoming
weeks / month, and I ask that when possible the existing developers help
them out with any questions they may have in getting familiar w/ our
design, implementation, and contributor workflow.
Should be a great Summer of Aeolus! :-)
