I think promoting this blog actually helps our overall cause. Over the last few months, we have always felt that one of the major reasons of cloudstack being a laggard (adoption-wise) is the general perception in the market that Citrix is slowly pulling out its support from the project. Hence articles like these go a long way in changing those perceptions.
Moreover, one of the big reasons for the widespread interest in Openstack is the number of vendors offering commercial forks/support on it. Hence if any other vendor comes out with the same for cloudstack, we should happily promote. However, I also agree with Abhi that any post by Citrix should also have a few lines that talk about the Cloudstack project/ community in general. — Best, Sunando Bhattacharya +91 97111 52299 www.indiqus.com On 3 February 2015 at 10:25:09 am, Abhinandan Prateek ([email protected]) wrote: Yes, it is a nice post about the closed source private fork, that was rarely discussed in community. I would expect such blogs that are promoted officially to do more to display the vibrancy of the community, instead of taking a narrow view. It is debatable whether it should be promoted officially, though for this instance I will keep my vote neutral. -abhi > On 03-Feb-2015, at 9:49 am, Rohit Yadav <[email protected]> wrote: > > Steve - Good post on CCP. > > Karen - why should we be promoting any closed source fork on CloudStack’s > twitter account?
