Despite the obvious conflict of interest in me replying to this, I think showcasing CloudStack books is a great way to help spread the access to accessibility resources for new CloudStack consumers/users.
These are also 'pure' CloudStack books we are discussing, so I see no issues present, or potential misrepresentation, or inadvertent endorsements. My 2 cents. :) Sent from my HTC ----- Reply message ----- From: "Noah Slater" <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Packt Book - Publish on our website?

(Which I think in general we ought to avoid.)
