Re: FWN #152 status

Thanks for the update, Dale. I have everything copied over to the new
issue excepting the remainder of your virt beat. Just drop a line when
that is complete and we'll finish that up and ship the new issue out.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to FWN 152! It couldn't be done
without you!

If an editor doesn't want to wait around to start copying, I'm done with
the Virt beat except for oVirt Devel List.

I'm going to take a break now, but I at least intend to add that list
later. Before I go to bed, I'll flag the beat as complete either way.

I'm working on Virtualization Beat right now. I'm starting to feel a
foreboding tickle in my throat, but I'll definitely have something to
contribute in a few hours.
