This is quite comforting to know. 

We are currently using Storm for an open source application: 
https://github.com/globaleaks/GLBackend.

Are any of the projects you mentioned above open source?

We are especially interested in using Storm with Twisted and 
having pieces of code that demonstrate it's proper usage would 
be of great help.

Thanks!
