All,


I've built packages for users who may want to help test but would avoid 
building packages themselves using the source tarball, they may consume/test 
from here:

Re: [New Feature] noVNC console in Cloudstack

[Alireza Eskandari]

Amazing feature!
Could you please investigate on using smartphone keyboards with the console?
I can view the current console by mobile but I cannot use mouse and
keyboard. Does noVNC have any solution for it?

Re: [README][Quarterly Call] - CloudStack Development, Blockers and Community Efforts

[ilya]

Hi All

Friendly reminder,

The call is next week Wednesday the 6th of September @ 9AM.

Please kindly submit your drafts by EOD Monday September 4th.

I need to collate it all and set time aside for each speaker.

If you miss EOD Monday deadline - with all fairness to everyone, I can't
promise you will have an opportunity to talk.

Sorry

Re: 4.10 release announcement?

[Rajani Karuturi]

readme only talks about how to create a PR, use translations etc.
not about how to push the generated html to RTD website. There
should be some automated jenkins job to do it.

These are the contents of make.sh. It shows me the generated html
locally. But, there is not way to push it.

rm -fr build

mkdir build

sphinx-build -b html source build
