     <p>Dear users &amp; developers,</p>

 <p>First of all, Libcloud team wishes everyone a Happy New Year 2012!</p>

 <p>2011 has been a great year for us and we have accomplished a lot of things:</p>

 <ul>
   <li>Website has been ported to the Apache CMS and updated with a lot of new
 content, including documentation</li>
   <li>In May we have graduated from the incubator to a top level project</li>
   <li>Two new committers have joined the team (Tomaz Muraus, Hutson Betts)</li>
   <li>We have grown from supporting a single API (cloud servers) to supporting
 four different APIs (cloud servers, load balancers, cloud storage, dns)</li>
   <li>We have introduced support for Python 3</li>
   <li>We have released a total of 7 new versions</li>
   <li>We have received many patches by external contributors</li>
   <li>We have held two development sprints (PyCon, EuroPython)</li>
   <li>Code wise we have grown from ~4300 LOC to ~14300 LOC (excluding tests)</li>
 </ul>

 <p>Lets try to make 2012 even better :)</p>
