Hi Dan and all of IPMC, Sorry I missed the previous email [1] on the thread as I'm not subscribed to the general@ ML and missed the email. (Thanks Justin for the heads up) I kindly request reply-all (to include the ACS PMC) or include me if you're looking for a response from me, since this is rather a public thread that the ACS PMCs may also want to be copied to.
Based on https://github.com/xanzy/terraform-provider-cloudstack/graphs/contributors?type=a (contributors by additions of code), all the top #5 contributors have agreed or shared their no objections either on the Github issue above or on the ML, namely (using their Github handles): grubernaut, svanharmelen, radeksimko, benjvi, and cezarsa. (While code deletions may not be relevant?) ... based on https://github.com/xanzy/terraform-provider-cloudstack/graphs/contributors?type=d (contributors by deletion of code), all the top #3 contributors have also agreed or shared their no objections either on the Github issue above or on the ML, namely (using their Github handles): svanharmelen, grubernaut, and cezarsa. These Github handles/contributors can be cross referenced against the Github issue [2] tracking IP clearance for documentation purposes. Can the IPMC review this tracker issue [2] by the end of this week and advise if there are any objections and actions we're supposed to do before starting a vote? Lastly, can the IPMC also advise what's the process of being granted karma to start a vote for IP clearance, do a ACS PMC who is also an ASF member or our ACS PMC chair need to do that (asking in case I need to volunteer and start the vote)? Thanks. [1] https://markmail.org/message/yxqh5ndu4vnotrti [2] The IP clearance tracking issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/5159 Regards.
