Wido +1 on that idea I know many people get nervous about such things for a FOSS project, so we would need to make sure that anything is transparent, is VERY careful about data and gives people the option to opt-out
The simple fact is that we don't currently have any idea how many production deployments, their scale,etc We did a survey last year and got c.270 responses - but we had to promote the awareness of that surevey and there were plenty of ACS sites I know of who just didn't respond. There will be many others that I don't know of What differentiates ACS from other similar techs IMO is the number of production deployments. If we cant quantify that, it sounds like a lot of hot air. Another approach, may be to put a "showcase" area on the website where people can submit their own sort of case studies Kind Regards Giles D: +44 20 3603 0541 | M: +44 796 111 2055 giles.sir...@shapeblue.com -----Original Message----- From: sebgoa [mailto:run...@gmail.com] Sent: 18 March 2014 11:21 To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: CloudStack implementations On Mar 18, 2014, at 12:15 PM, Wido den Hollander <w...@widodh.nl> wrote: > On 03/18/2014 12:07 PM, Marcus wrote: >> Do we have any general stats on how cloudstack is being used?
