We are half way through the year and a lot of work is done, and lot more is yet to be done. This week we look back at some of the CloudStack Collaboration Conference, work continues on 4.1.1 and 4.2.0, and we have some interesting discussions on how we should release the CloudMonkey and Marvin tools used with CloudStack. There's a by-laws vote underway to look at how and where we decide non-technical issues, and some discussion on the best way to to discuss and do code reviews.

News Moving to Wednesdays

To help get information out a little easier for the community (and the writers) we are going to move the publishing of the weekly news to Wednesdays starting July 10th!

Major Discussions

In this section we look at major discussions that have happened on the CloudStack mailing lists. This is by no means a full summary of all discussions on the lists, but we try to hit the highlights that are relevant to the larger CloudStack community.

Much of the work for 4.2 is underway, but there is still a lot of work to still be done. Please make sure to look through the current bugs on a regular basis to help keep the release on track. Sudha published a current list of defects that need help getting resolved. Check JIRA for open bugs. Code Freeze was on 6/28. Currently Animesh Chaturvedi is handling the release management for 4.2 has listed out our current state. If we don't quickly get these resolved further delays in the release and jepordize future releases.

We are now just two days away from feature freeze, but still there are many open tickets. If the feature or improvement is unlikely to be wrapped up by 6/28 it should be moved out of 4.2
