[ANNOUNCE] Apache libcloud 0.20.0 release

[anthony shaw <an...@apache.org>]

Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among
multiple cloud provider APIs. It allows users to manage cloud services
(servers, storage, loadbalancers, DNS) offered by many different providers
through a single, unified and easy to use API.

We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.20.0!
