#1 OpenStack contributor: all of us
Thierry Carrez celebrates every little contribution gone into OpenStack. "It doesn't matter who is #1, it matters that we all can contribute, and that we all do contribute. It matters that we keep on making sure everyone can easily contribute. That's what's really important, and I wish we all were celebrating that."
