Hi Kapil,

It was good to meet you too (and UDS was a blast ;) ). I've started
work on an XCP provider, and there are a couple other devs in my
office who are interested in helping out. Hopefully we'll have
something working soon.

I was wondering if you could tell me what the process is for getting a
new service provider included in the official Juju package. Is that
something I should want? Or is it recommended that additional
providers are installed separately? If an XCP provider is something
that can be included in the main package, then what kind of deadline
will there be for it to be included in Precise?

Thanks for the help. I'll try #juju if I have any other quick questions.

Mike
