Wait --what is this? Did this go out somewhere?
Please note that this is not an official ASF (Foundation) press release, and therefore the ASF boilerplate and format should _not_ be used. Chiradeep, if you can kindly shed some light on this, I would appreciate it. I can also help with creating a communications "kit of parts" that can be used specifically for CloudStack-originating announcements etc. Thanking you in advance, Sally >________________________________ > From: Chiradeep Vittal <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Friday, 16 May 2014, 2:25 >Subject: Announcing Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.1.0 > > >May 16, 2014 - The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer >developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 170 Open Source projects and >initiatives, today announced Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey v5.1.0, the latest >feature release of the CloudStack CloudMonkey command line interface (CLI). > >Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey is a command line interface (CLI) tool for >CloudStack written in Python.
