Page History

It's been another busy week for the Apache CloudStack project. This week we welcome another new committer, 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. We've also seen a few interesting marketing discussions, and the community is gearing up for the second CloudStack Collaboration Conference taking place 23 June through 25 June in Santa Clara, CA.

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.

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
