Since the current active committers don't have a way to test and validate it, we had to drop it from the 2.1.1 version. If I recall correctly, this module was created as a proof of concept to test how fast VCL could provision thousands of vms on the higher end netapp storage arrays at the NetApp DataCenter here in NC. If your interested in maintaining it, we'd love to discuss bringing you in as an official committer. Just let us know if your interested.

Re: VCL w/ Netapp thin provisioning
Hi Gerhard, This is great. The next step is for you to submit your ICLA. Here is some more info: http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf Fill the icla out and send to secret...@apache.org. If you would let me know when you've submitted it. On our end, I'll recommend you for committer status on the vcl private list and we'll go from there. Thanks and look forward to working more with you.

Re: Fwd: VCL w/ Netapp thin provisioning
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Brian, The ASF has a very clearly defined release process. We have it specifically documented for the ASF VCL community here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/VCL+Release+Procedures Part of that process is to create a release candidate. Then, a vote is called for on the vcl-dev list that includes information about where to download the release candidate for examination. As the release manager, I create the release candidate and call for the vote. I removed the esx and esxthin provisioning modules from the release candidate - the esx module because it is very out of date and its functionality has been replaced by the vmware module, and the esxthin module because (a) it requires physical hardware for testing that none of the active VCL committers have access to and (b) it had not been touched by the original author (you) in over a year. The release candidate voting for 2.2.1 took place on the vcl-dev list from 3/18/11 to 4/4/11. The call for the initial vote is archived here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-vcl- dev/201103.mbox/%3c201103181630.04848.josh_thomp...@ncsu.edu%3E The vote result is archived here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-vcl- dev/201104.mbox/%3c201104041331.07285.josh_thomp...@ncsu.edu%3E You had ample opportunity to review the release candidates during that time and bring up an objection to esxthin being removed. That is why the ASF is so emphatic about releases taking place through a community voting process - so that community members have the opportunity to express any objections to a release. In your email below, you stated that It is very well tested. I'll draw your attention to your last email to the vcl-dev list that is archived here (sent on 2/3/2010): http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-vcl- dev/201002.mbox/%3c4606b6551002030755x4dd6166cw718b2b57e4f...@mail.gmail.com%3E In that email, you asked Andy to do some updates to the esxthin module because you didn't have a good way of testing it. That was over a year before the 2.2.1 release. You also expressed interest in helping to keep the module updated better in the future. However, that is not reflected in the code repository nor by any emails to the vcl-dev list. So, at the time of the 2.2.1 release: - -no active committers had a way to test the esxthin module - -the author of the esxthin module (you) had expressed over a year earlier that he didn't have a good way to test the module - -the author of the esxthin module (you) had not contacted the list in over a year, even when users had asked questions about using it on the list (implies author is not interested in maintaining module) - -no one expressed concern about the esxthin module not being included during the voting process As the release maintainer, I felt it was the more responsible action to remove the module from the release rather than release something that could lead people to problems using it because they would assume it is up to date and well tested. Additionally, the module is still in the code repository for anyone that would like to download it and try it from there. I most certainly did not selectively overlook the esxthin module during the release process. If you have disappointment with it not being included in the 2.2.1 release, I suggest that you step up your level of involvement - with the code by keeping the module up to date, and with the community by being more active on the vcl- dev and vcl-user lists (you didn't even vote for the 2.2 release, much less the 2.2.1 release). Josh Apache VCL release manager On Tuesday August 09, 2011, Brian Bouterse wrote: I am the original author of this work and am extremely disappointed that it has been dis-included from the release process. It is very well tested, and was proven to work. As an open source project, it is very *unfair* to selectively overlook contributions that have been made out in the open and according to the process. This is an example of why the VCL commit and release process is broken.
