Thanks very much Eric!

This is going to allow us to fund a lot of great things around both Ansible and AWX, and we are very happy to be working with the Menlo team and others in making automation as nice  
as it possibly can be.

I fully expect everyone to continue to send in great ideas and modules and overall just having a lot more resources to do interesting things and to help get the word out there more.
