Great job @scottalanmiller and welcome aboard!

Hope you enjoyed the experience!

Now if you want to play with it, I recommend you to use our CLI (http://docs.openio.io/cli-reference) or you can deploy our S3/Swift implementation (https://github.com/open-io/oio-sds/wiki/Install-Guide---OpenIO-Swift-S3-gateway).

Feel free to send me some feedbacks, I'm here to help!

@GuillaumeDelaporte So essentially any application that wants to be built using OpenIO (or any other Object storage) has to be prepared to build based around the REST API?

Yes, but applications and solutions which you can use are more and more compatible with this new style of storage (because it solves some problems you can face with other technologies).

And, of course, if you are building your own.

MangoLassi stores certain things in this manner, for example.

I just mentioned this concept in a post elsewhere earlier today, in fact. This is an extension of the YAGNI Principle that is commonly known in software engineering circles but is often overlooked in IT ones.
