Adding OpenStack native types

[andybotting]

We've just started using OpenStack's Heat API which supports CloudFormation templates and has compatibility for AWS CloudFormation types (e.g. AutoScalingGroups, ELB's, etc).

Over time, we've started switching to the native OpenStack equivalents and I've been adding them to my fork of troposphere. It's not complete, but I have all the basic types.

I haven't looked at tests or anything like that at this stage, but would you be interested in accepting them into troposphere master?

I would definitely like to see troposphere be a common library for both AWS CloudFormation and OpenStack Heat. I thought someone else had forked troposphere to work on a Heat implementation but I can't seem to find it in the various forks. Please submit pull requests with your work so we can have a unified tool and let me know if you have questions or need any assistance. For testing I run the code through pep8 and pyflakes in addition to the normal tests to ensure there aren't any regressions. Thanks!

Great :)

I'll get things into shape over the new few days and send you some pull requests and go from there.

cheers
