What is a "patron"

[nicknorman]

I notice that I suddenly have the word "patron" under my forum avatar. Previously I think it was "member". What does "patron" mean?

Did you donate to cover forum costs?

What is a patron?

1a : a person chosen, named, or honored as a special guardian, protector, or supporter

b : a wealthy or influential supporter

I had just assumed it meant you had donated to the funds, clearly I was wrong.   Patron as in artists used to (possibly some still do) have patrons, who helped to support them financially.

"Patron" usually means "Donor". Maybe Nick has been missclassified.

Hummm, I am not sure.

 

There are 310 'patrons' and I cannot see what toggles you into that group. Previously we have 'long standing members' over a certain post count.

 

The only auto-promotion we currently have is 'new member' to 'member' at 100 post count.

I assumed this was members who had paid up as well!

Hope this makes it clearer....

 

I was trying to run the code uploaded on github using OpenStack Mitaka release, I successfully downloaded the patron service on the control node, and then attached the AEM middleware to the Nova and Neutron services. However, I don't think that the middleware is working as its supposed to be. I think maybe I didn't attach it correctly, can you please show how to attach AEM middleware to OpenStack services?

following are the steps I followed to attach the midddleware to both the Nova and Neutron services:

I was just going to say that, but you beat me to it!

Perhaps it just means the forum software likes you & think that you're special.
