Let me second that thought!

We have built a really good relationship with IBM, with a light
sprinkling of charm awareness. It would be really helpful for them to
get comfortable with charms and charming, especially for big things like
Hadoop, OpenStack etc. It's a bti awkward that they are digging into CF,
where we know the level of investment required to keep up is very high
and where we decided to drop our focus in favour of more immediate
opportunities, but we should be as helpful as we can under the
circumstances.
