I was one of the top code reviewers in both projects and I was well on my way to be the Keystone/Glance
cross project liaison

great coding standards. It was perfect position to help me understand coding practices in the industry. From
setting up a python project and correctly writing unit and function tests to better understanding how API's
and CLI's work Keystone and Glace definitely sculpted me into a better developer.
