I was on the road and asked Karen to do create some tweets especially since this blog was partially in response to lat months’s thread about Citrix not supporting CloudStack. I thought we promoted any success based on CloudStack whether it’s a proprietary fork, storage solution or other tool. I’d be lying if I didn’t have an opinion but would be curious to see how many people agree with Rohit. If there’s a majority opinion I’d support whatever the group wants. It seems the phrase “Damned if we do, Damned if we don’t” applies.
[I am referring to the Negative Press thread started on the 14th - http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cloudstack-marketing/201501.mbox/browser] Mark On Feb 2, 2015, at 11:19 PM, Rohit Yadav <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Steve - Good post on CCP. Karen - why should we be promoting any closed source fork on CloudStack’s twitter account? As long as a fork is closed source and we don’t have the four freedoms to run it like we wish, study the code, modify, and redistribute -- we should not care. If the blog could be modified to promote the Apache CloudStack project then it would be alright to share it on the official social media accounts.
