Hey all,

I'm one of the maintainers of txAWS, and not only are we using it in
Landscape, but the UbuntuOne guys want to use it as well. Elliot Murphy
approached me at the last UDS encouraging me to get it into Lucid so
they could more easily make a transition to it (they've got a lot of
Twisted stuff in place, so it's a natural fit for them).

It's on my short list of things to learn about doing (getting a package
into Ubuntu), as time is running out for Lucid...

Mathias, what do you need from me and the txAWS team to make this as
easy as possible for inclusion in Lucid? Are you championing AWS
libraries for inclusion, or just trying to round up champions?

Thanks!
