Ilya - I agree 100% - this is a really good testament to the quality of our software and the effort by this community
Although it gauls me slightly to have to caveat everything with "despite the marketing" and "despite the committer base" We here all know that Cloudstack is the "invisible man" in this space. We all know its in widespread adoption but it continues to not get the attention of AN Other project This can be changed, but we are a user led community. It can be changed by our largescale users coming out and showing their public support for this project. We also need more vendors to relaise that Cloudstack integration is a decent route to market for their products - but that wont start until that user community starts speaking publically Kind Regards Giles [ShapeBlue]<http://www.shapeblue.com> Giles Sirett CEO , ShapeBlue d: +44 20 3603 0541 | s: +44 203 603 0540<tel:+44%20%2020%203603%200541%20|%20s:%20+44%20203%20603%200540> | m: +44 7961112055<tel:+44%207961112055> e: giles.sir...@shapeblue.com | t: <mailto:giles.sir...@shapeblue.com%20|%20t:> | w: www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com> a: 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden London WC2N 4HS UK [cid:imaged2fad1.png@c077ee4b.429fda02] Shape Blue Ltd is a company incorporated in England & Wales.

With limited resources we've got and numbers we showed, we are doing REALLY WELL! I think it is a testament to job well done by everyone involved in ACS community and beyond!
