[one-users] Megam - Cloud orchestrator for OpenNebula

[Javier Fontan]

Hi Thomas,

This addon looks really good! Could you please send the mail again to
the development mailing list [1]? That is the list where we discuss
the new addons and we can continue the conversation there.

I'll be the one in charge of preparing everything, anyway.

Thanks!
