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-

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
