Draft of board report - suggestions, corrections, and additions are
welcome.
If possible, please give feedback no later than tomorrow morning

CloudStack
A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation
1. Resolve last known possible legal blocker (export filing)
2. Shipping a release
3. Transfer trademark, etc. to Apache
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
No issues at this time
How has the community developed since the last report?
The project has continued to improve its diversity, adding Chip
Childers and Wido
den Hollander to the PPMC and 3 new committers since the month
of August. We have also
taken on a new mentor.
Contributors and committers have been active in promoting
CloudStack at events, such as
LinuxCon, Ohio LinuxFest, PuppetConf, a get-together at Schuberg
Philis, and a number of
other events.
The community is currently planning a Collaboration Conference
for November 30 through
December 2 in Las Vegas, participation at LinuxCon EU and
ApacheCon EU and a number of
other events.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The pending 4.0 release has been branched. The project has made
a great deal of progress
towards the 4.0 release, handling a number of technical issues
(such as a move to Maven)
and resolving almost all known legal issues that would pose
an obstacle to a release. The
sole remaining blocker is under discussion and should be
resolved shortly.
The Jira instance for CloudStack was stood up in early
September. License checks have been
automated to ensure that we remain compliant with Apache
guidelines going forward.
