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! :-)

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!
