In a heavily discussed topic throughout the community to allow the publishing of outside books about CloudStack on the CloudStack.Apache.Org website or wiki, it was finally voted on and decided to allow outside publications to be published. Right now Sebastien Goasguen has setup a wiki page and will work on where to have the permanent placement for this page. Sebastien posted the full results on June 12, but noted that there's a question about voting on a list that isn't dev@:

Wiki Markup

...


Our bylaws {1} do not cover votes on non-technical matters, so while we have


lazy majority on this vote it seems that this situation is not covered by the


bylaws. Moreover section 3.1.1 of bylaws says that decisions on the project


happen on dev@, so it seems that votes even on marketing@ are not allowed


(unsure about this).


I propose the following:


1-To move forward without having to re-cast a vote, I propose to list


immediately the books on the Wiki, and inform Packt. I just created the page {2

}
2- If people agree that we have a bylaw "loophole", we need to modify the bylaws


to allow votes on marketing@ and agree on using Lazy majority or Lazy 2/3


majority.
 

Once we agree, I will inform users@ and dev@ and invite folks who participated


in this vote to join marketing@


3- We could then re-cast a vote to list on the website
