[Rdo-list] New to openStack

[Ganesh Sangle]

Thank you all for your replies.
I am a developer trying to setup a dev-environment, and I was just looking
to get the latest version available so that I can take advantage of the new
drivers available with cinder.
Followed the steps mentioned above and I could get the installed
openstack/cinder packages upgraded to Icehouse, which seems to work fine
for my purposes.
