Because of this, the PMC was not directly aware of issues. we don't have a dedicated security team and the sizes/scope of our project does not really warrant one. the removing of the CloudStack security@ list and having security@apache.org raise any issues directly with the PMC was the next logical step. ## Health report: - Apropos of the activity report; the project is considered healthy ## PMC changes: - Currently 51 - no new PMC members were added since last report. - Most recently added PMC member: Andrija Panic, Gabriel Beims Bräscher, Bobby Stoyanov, Nathan Johnson, Sven Vogel on July 17st 2019 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 121 - no new committers members were added since last report. - Most recently added committers: Sven Vogel on March 18th 2019 and Dennis Konrad on March 21st 2019 ## Releases: - 4.14 was released on 26th May 2020

ACS manages many types of hypervisors, storage and networking devices. ## Issues: - The security ‘team’ is triaging a number of issues, progress is slow but steady. ## Activity: - the community has voted to accept two new sub-projects within CloudStack: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-primate (see below) https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-kubernetes-provider (the CloudStack provider was removed from Kubernetes core code by the Kubernetes community as part of a ‘streamlining of the core’ exercise – the provider will now be maintained separately by the CloudStack community) - The community has coalesced behind the development of an all-new UI (Primate). It is hoped that the use of modern tools and a modern interface will encourage a new wave of users and developers to get involved. The outgoing UI is somewhat antiquated. A special interest group (SIG) holds bi-weekly meetings and reports updates on dev@. Certainly, some ‘new faces’ have got involved in the UI’s development already. - A ‘winter’ LTS release would be expected in early Q1 next year, but no announcement has been made along those lines yet. ## Health report: - Apropos of the activity report; the project is considered healthy ## PMC changes: - Currently 51 - no new PMC members were added since the last report. The following members were added in the previous quarter: Andrija Panic, Gabriel Beims Bräscher, Bobby Stoyanov, Nathan Johnson, Sven Vogel ## Committer base changes (2 added since the last report): - Currently 121 committers - Most recently added committers: Sven Vogel on March 18th 2019 and Dennis Konrad on March 21st 2019 ## Releases: - 4.13 was released on 24th September 2019
## Description: Apache CloudStack (ACS) is an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) cloud orchestration platform. ACS manages many types of hypervisors, storage and networking devices. ## Issues: - Mark Thomas is progressing the renewal of the CloudStack trademark registration - We received notification from ‘Read The Docs’ that they would be adding ‘paid for’ advertising to all pages of rendered documentation. Upon consultation with the Board, we opted out of this advertising. nb: ASF will work to develop a reciprocal relationship with Read The Docs to honourably use Read The Docs for ‘free’ ## Activity: - The Apache CloudStack project received a Newsweek award for ‘Best Business Tools 2019’ in the category ‘Cloud’ - PMC has discussed a number of committers/contributors for ‘promotion’ to committership or PMC, which resulted in 5 new PMC members - Many of the project’s members have been working to prepare for the CloudStack Collaboration Conference within ApacheCon. We had 22 presentations covering new features in-development or recently completed as well as sessions on how to use specific features in CloudStack and features at a PoC stage. - The project has benefited from the very recent ‘announcement’ that Apple uses CloudStack to underpin many of its services. We hope that will bring a bump in interest in the project, which we will endeavour to convert into contributors - The community discussed dropping IRC as an ‘advertised’ communication channel as ‘no one’ hangs out there any more. - As the community has just released a major version and has just had a large conference, it is now ‘getting back to business’. ## Health report: - Apropos of the activity report; the project is healthy ## PMC changes: - Currently 51 - PMC members added since the last report: - Andrija Panic - Gabriel Beims Bräscher - Bobby Stoyanov - Nathan Johnson - Sven Vogel ## Committer base changes (2 added since the last report): - Currently 121 committers - Most recently added committers: Sven Vogel on March 18th 2019 and Dennis Konrad on March 21st 2019 ## Releases: - Release 4.11.3 (LTS release) - Release 4.13.0.0 (New LTS release should be fully released by the time of board meeting)

## Description:
Apache CloudStack (ACS) is an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) cloud
orchestration platform. ACS manages many types of hypervisors, storage
and networking devices.
## Issues:
- The outstanding JIRA issue [1] has been closed in favor of a different
resolution. Instead of moving `apache/cloudstack` to
`apachecloudstack/cloudstack`, we will likely be participating in the Beta
of the new Github As Master initiative which Apache is working on. This
will give us access to the Github features we are looking for without
being an anomaly in what Apache is supporting.
- We are working with the ASF Infra team to finally get access to the racked
servers which were donated by Citrix to Apache CloudStack for testing. It
has been a slow process, but Greg is working with us to finally make these
resources available to us.
## Activity:
- ACS is continuing its focus on testing and release tooling. Our release
cadence has intentionally slowed in favor of improving test coverage and
stability of the large number of different deployment scenarios. The
developers at ShapeBlue have built and open sourced a tool called Trillian
which allows us to automate and more accurately test the ACS features in
many different deployment scenarios. We have been integrating this tool
into our development workflow to better validate the impact of proposed
pull requests and to verify the functionality.
- We currently have 3 releases which are in the final RC process; 4.10.0,
4.9.1 and 4.8.2. Since we have slowed the release cycle a bit in order to
improve the test coverage and deployment scenarios, these releases are
quite large.
- The intentional slowdown in the release cycle is not a reflection of
inactivity, but instead, more focus on the quality of the releases for all
the different deployment scenarios ACS is used in. You will notice that
the activity on the dev@ list has actually more than doubled since the
previous quarter.
- We continue to rely heavily on the features of Github for managing and
and merging changes into our source tree. The majority of our
communication around the code is actually done inline in the proposed pull
requests as well as in the comments of the pull requests. We look forward
to being able to use additional Github features such as `Status` and
`Labels`, once the new Github As Master program is available, to improve
our workflow even more.
## Health report:
The ACS project is very healthy. We have a lot of activity and recently
we have been able to focus on some of the challenges facing a project of
our complexity. The slowing of the release cycle so we could focus on
improving the testability and test automation will produce a better
experience for our users.

been very active.

## Description:
Apache CloudStack (ACS) is an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) cloud
orchestration platform. ACS manages many types of hypervisors, storage
and networking devices.
## Issues:
- The PMC currently has a Jira ticket open [1] with Infra to have the Github
mirror `apache/cloudstack` moved to `apachecloudstack/cloudstack`.
This initiative was approved in May 2016 and all my attempts to move
this activity forward have been unsuccessful. This is a priority
issue for our project and we need it addressed ASAP with a clear path
forward.
## Activity:
- The 4.9.0 and 4.8.1 versions have been released after a bit of a slow
spring.
- The release schedule has had quite a bit of work and we have a proposal
for the release schedule in the works right now [2]. We hope to have a
more predictable release schedule going forward, so this is a good first
step.
- The community/users have been requesting a project feature roadmap, so we
have started work on it [3].
## Health report:
The project is healthy. The mailing list has been active other than a
small lull while the branches were frozen for stabilizing and releasing
4.9.0. In addition to the normal continued development of the project, we
have been looking into better support the users of the project and
increase adoption. Two items which users / potential users have brought
up as deficiencies is the lack of an LTS release and the lack of a project
feature roadmap. We are working to address both of these issues to better
position the project to potential users.

- 4.8.1 was released on Mon Aug 15 2016
## Mailing list activity:
- We had a drop in mailing list participation due to the master branch being
frozen for an extended period as we got the details of the massive 4.9.0
release stabilized and shipped. The mailing list activity picked up to
its normal rate as soon as the branches were unfrozen.

There is concern that approving the Cloudstack PMC request for getting the 'apache/cloudstack' repository moved to 'apachecloudstack/cloudstack' will set a precedent that we don't necessarily want.
@Greg follow up to make sure infra understand exactly what will be done and whether we want to use this as an example of services that infra can support
## Description: Apache CloudStack (ACS) is an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) cloud orchestration platform. ACS manages many types of hypervisors, storage and networking devices. ## Issues: - The PMC currently has a Jira ticket open with Infra to have the Github mirror `apache/cloudstack` moved to `apachecloudstack/cloudstack`. - Once the move described by the above Jira ticket is done, the ACS project will be able to better manage the implementation of our CI initiative. ## Activity: - We had a slow down in releases in the first half of this year due to not having a Release Manager. We have resolved this and we are actively working to get back to a consistent release schedule. - A CloudStack Collaboration Conference was held in Montreal from June 1-3. The event went very well and the community was engaged and supportive. Videos from the event will be published soon so the broader community who where not able to attend are able to take advantage of the content. - A CloudStack Collaboration Conference is scheduled to be hosted in Brazil on Sept 29-30, we are not aware of any ASF conflicts at this time. - We are actively reviewing some community contributed artwork for "powered by apache cloudstack". The current "powered by apache" trademark templates do not represent our brand very well, so we are reviewing some alternatives. The artwork in question is currently available here: [http://poweredbycloudstack.bitcloud.cloud/](http://poweredbycloudstack.bitcloud.cloud/) - It still remains to be seen if the Accelerite purchase of CloudPlatform from Citrix will impact the ACS community in any way. We are hopeful that the change will enable the CloudPlatform developers to more actively collaborate with the ACS project. We will remain diligent to make sure there are no conflicts of interest for the ACS project. - The Schuberg Philis fork of Apache CloudStack does not seem to be negatively affecting the ACS project in a substantial way. Their developers were very active in our community and the development process, so we definitely miss their direct contribution. They have remained relatively active in the community and have been periodically backporting bug fixes for our project. - We continue to focus on improving the CI workflow and tools available for testing the ACS software. This activity is expected to continue getting a lot of focus over the remainder of the year. - We are working to make the release cycle less dependant on a single person as release manager and are working to add more structure around the release process. - We are in the early stages of introducing an LTS release of the ACS software every 6 months to better address the enterprise use case for our software. - We are in the early stages of working out how to best publish a roadmap for the project and who is working on what. The lack of a roadmap and inconsistency in our release schedule have been hightlighted as a potential barriers for adoption of our software, so we are actively working to address these areas. ## Health report: - Committee Health score: 10.00 (Super Healthy) from reporter.apache.org - The community, in general, seems to be in concensus on the different topics we need to be focusing on as a project. Primarily testability and CI workflows, and consistency in our release schedule. The move of our `apache/cloudstack` github repository to the `apachecloudstack` github org will help us better address these areas, so we are eager for that to take place. ## PMC changes: - Currently 42 PMC members. - Rafael Weingärtner was added to the PMC on Sun Apr 24 2016 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 109 committers. - Simon Weller was added as a committer on Tue Apr 26 2016 ## Releases: - The 4.9 release is in final preparation for release - Security releases 4.5.2.1, 4.6.2.1, 4.7.1.1, 4.8.0.1 on Fri Jun 10 2016 - Latest release was 4.8.0 on Tue Jan 26 2016 - Update release was 4.7.1 on Mon Jan 25 2016 ## Mailing list activity: - The mailing list activity is stable and reflects the healthy project status. ## JIRA activity: - 103 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 89 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Sebastien Goasguen (sebgoa) to the office of Vice President, Apache CloudStack, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Sebastien Goasguen from the office of Vice President, Apache CloudStack, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache CloudStack project has chosen by vote to recommend Will Stevens (swill) as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Sebastien Goasguen is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache CloudStack, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Will Stevens be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache CloudStack, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed. Special Order 7D, Change the Apache CloudStack Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.
## Objective: The purpose of this report is to expedite the process of moving the GitHub mirror from `apache/cloudstack` to `apachecloudstack/cloudstack` as per the details outlined in this report. We would like to request that the ASF Board consider this report and approve the move. We would also request that the ASF Infra team engage with us and do the actual transfer. ## Description: Apache CloudStack (ACS) is an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) cloud orchestration platform. ACS manages many types of hypervisors, storage and networking devices. Due to the infrastructure complexity, testing and validating ACS is a time consuming and costly endeavor. Our community is willing to share the labor and costs associated with building distributed and automated testing environments, but we are facing many challenges with the available automation integration points. ## Issue: Apache CloudStack has been making extensive use of GitHub pull requests and they have become integral in the development workflow in our community. The ACS GitHub repository is a mirror of the ASF repository, which is used as the source of truth for the project code and only committers can contribute to the ASF repository. Currently the ACS GitHub repository is under the `apache` GitHub organization. Unfortunately, due to the lack of permissions on specific repositories inside a GitHub organization, no changes can be made to a single repository without being applied to all repositories under that organization. This has become a problem for our project because we do not have access to features such as being able to Label pull requests or add post commit hooks in order to kick off Continuous Integration runs when a branch changes, to give a couple examples. The ACS PMC has proposed and voted on a resolution to move the ACS GitHub mirror out of the `apache` GitHub organization and into the `apachecloudstack` GitHub organization. The commit workflow will not change and the ASF git repository will remain the source of truth for the project. Both the ASF Infra team and members of the ACS PMC will have ownership rights on the `apachecloudstack` GitHub organization. There are many motivating factors for this change, a few of which are briefly outlined in the following list: - The Release Management of the ACS project has been a daunting task due to a highly manual process, with very few hooks for support from the greater community or through automation. The RM task is currently a full time job, making it difficult to find individuals willing to step up to the RM role. This has had a negative impact on our project because periods of time without a RM gives the impression that the project is stagnant. - The ability to use GitHub Labels will make a huge difference for our project by enabling the greater community to help manage the status of different pull requests and let the release manager focus more on the PRs that are ready. - Being able to use the GitHub Status features on pull requests will help us better integrate the results from distributed CI runs into the workflow. - Being able to setup GitHub Hooks such as the `post-commit-hook` will enable us to better automate the distributed hardware CI integrations provided by different community members, ensuring the code quality is maintained. - The ability to close PRs that are no longer relevant without having to track down the author to have them do it will help a lot in making sure the PRs that are open are valid. This is not an exhaustive list, but a few items which will make a huge impact on the sustainability of our project. In addition to the details outlined above, moving the GitHub `cloudstack` repository to the `apachecloudstack` GitHub organization, enables us to consolidate all of the different cloudstack related projects into a single organization. This will enable the community to better organize itself and the maintain the other projects or documentation directly related to ACS. Here is an incomplete list of projects currently being maintained independently which we would like to move into the `apachecloudstack` GitHub organization once we have moved the `cloudstack` repository: - cloudstack-cloudmonkey - cloudstack-www - cloudstack-docs - cloudstack-docs-install - cloudstack-docs-rn - cloudstack-docs-admin - cloudstack-ec2stack - cloudstack-gcsstack ## Progress: This initiative has been slowly moving forward over the past few months. Here is a breakdown of our current status: - All parties are in agreement with the decision to make the move [1][2][3]. - I have talked to GitHub support about getting the `mirror` setup after the move. They said that a user who has admin access to both organizations can email them after the transfer and they will setup the mirror for us. - I have setup the `apachecloudstack` GitHub organization. - I have added Sam Ruby, Chris Mattmann and David Nalley (as well as some PMC members) as owners of the `apachecloudstack` GitHub organization. ## Next Steps: We are now at the final steps to get this done. Here are the remaining tasks in order to move this forward. - Get a list of the ASF Infra members who should be added to the `apachecloudstack` GitHub organization as owners. - Do the transfer of the `cloudstack` GitHub repository from the `apache` GitHub organization to the `apachecloudstack` GitHub organization. - Contact GitHub support to update the mirror so the repository at `apachecloudstack/cloudstack` is a mirror of the source of truth ASF git repository. Please feel free to reach out to us on the private@ mailing list if you have any questions or to work out any other final logistics. -Will Stevens [1] http://markmail.org/message/4an7nivshnndo25c?q=list:org%2Eapache%2Eincubator%2Ecloudstack-%2A+apache-cloudstack/cloudstack [2] http://markmail.org/message/53ct2mma4x4jm6s2?q=list:org%2Eapache%2Eincubator%2Ecloudstack-%2A+External+fork+of+Cloudstack [3] http://markmail.org/message/2phudhgcjjo236ay?q=list:org%2Eapache%2Eincubator%2Ecloudstack-%2A+External+fork+of+Cloudstack
Board approves pending VP Infra approval
A number of participants on the call provided additional insight on the ASF provenance requirements. Will expressed an interest in working with people on this.
## Description: Apache CloudStack is an IaaS (“Infrastracture as a Service”) cloud orchestration platform. ## Issues: - CloudStack community wants to experiment with a pure GitHub approach to our version control and CI. - We took control of https://github.com/cloudstack which we did not own before (Github transferred ownership to members of the PMC). - The PMC seeks guidance from the board on GitHub integration and would like to know what the plan and timeline is (if there is one) on operating an ASF project out of GitHub. - The Whimsy experiment on Github appears totally opaque to us and we don’t know what the status or plan is. ## Activity: - Large increase of releases with 4 since December due to a new commit workflow - CloudStack conference Brazil announced for Sept 29-30, no ASF conflicts as we know it. - Citrix CloudPlatform business was sold to Accelerite, this may impact CloudStack - Schuberg Philis as forked CloudStack (interim report sent to board on February 16th) (Annex A). - Increased focus on CI and investigation of solutions outside of ASF infra. ## Health report: - Committee Health score: 9.60 (Super Healthy) from reporter.apache.org - Slight increase of registered participants in all mailing lists - Slight decrease in number of emails sent on MLs. - Significant decrease in commits while we searched for a new RM - Increase in speed of releases as we adopted new workflow ## PMC changes: - Currently 41 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Erik Weber on Wed Nov 18 2015 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 108 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Rafael Weingärtner at Wed Dec 09 2015 ## Releases: - 4.6.2 was released on Thu Dec 17 2015 - 4.7.0 was released on Thu Dec 17 2015 - 4.7.1 was released on Tue Jan 26 2016 - 4.8.0 was released on Tue Jan 26 2016 ## Mailing list activity: - users@cloudstack.apache.org: - 1145 subscribers (up 9 in the last 3 months): - 873 emails sent to list (848 in previous quarter) - significant decrease in the last week - dev@cloudstack.apache.org: - 763 subscribers (up 13 in the last 3 months): - 3996 emails sent to list (6360 in previous quarter) - downward trend ## JIRA activity: - 148 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 72 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months Annex A —————— This interim report was sent to the board on February 16th with no response: Dear Board, The CloudStack report is not due until next round of reports, but I wanted to report two partially related items: 1. Schuberg-Philis a company where a significant number of CloudStack committers happens to work has forked CloudStack. The fork has received media attention [3], hence this interim report to let the board know that we are indeed well aware of the situation. A detail account of the company’s reasoning is described in [1]. Their fork is available on Github at [2]. A fork by a company of an ASF software is a non-issue (there are other cloudstack forks) and our community is very thankful to Schuberg Philis for many years of strong support, either through community events (organizing and sponsoring) or through their indirect commitment via committers who happens to have a $dayjob at Schuberg. 2. Through private discussions with committers who happen to have a $dayjob at SBP, our lack of privileges/control on our github mirror has played *some* role in this fork and created frustration. ( It is not to say that better github control would have prevented the fork, but it might have allowed us to resolve short term issues giving us time to work on longer term ones). There is a risk that similar frustration grows within our community and that developers accustomed to working on github decide to work directly on the SBP fork or their own, thereby fragmenting our community. Actionable items for the board: We have not heard any reports on the status of Whimsy’s testing of github but we would welcome being allowed to join any testing phase or if the boards sides in favor of operating an ASF project directly on Github, we would quickly vote in our community to decide on such a move.

## Description:
Apache CloudStack is an IaaS (“Infrastracture as a Service”) cloud
orchestration platform.
## Issues:
- Looking closely at the results of the GitHub experiment as CloudStack is
using github heavily for its contribution including from committers.
- The github discussion is totally opaque to non ASF members
- Still looking for Docker hub integration
- The community will most likely start thinking about releasing official
binaries
- The community will soon face an issue that we will be able to cut releases
faster than we can vote, hence a discussion on continuous release will be
needed.
- There are no other issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- CloudStack conference was held in Dublin in October collocated with
Linuxcon/Mesoscon. Event was a success and showed stable community 150
attendees, great content, solid sponsors.
- CloudStack conference 2016 will be in Sao-Paulo organized by the University
of Sao Paulo one of the leading users of CloudStack. The community is
thriving there hence the fous on latin-america.
- New commit workflow is showing its results. 4.6.0 was released in Nov 14
2015 , 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 (under vote) shortly thereafter. And 4.7.0 is out for
VOTE with 4 new key features such as Nuage SDN enhancements and quota
plugin.

## Description:
Apache CloudStack is an IaaS (“Infrastracture as a Service”) cloud
orchestration platform.
## Activity:
- The CloudStack project continues to release new software at a steady pace.
- We have adopted a new commit workflow for our master branch. Trying to
stabilize master and make it the releasable branch. All commits to master
must now be reviewed and given two LGTM + green Travis tests before being
merged. While this slows down development, our hope is that it increases
stability and reduces time between releases.
- EC2stack which went through IP clearance is now going through its first
release VOTE
- We have added Docker images for our main components
(simulator, management server, marvin, ec2stack, cloudmonkey)
- We have held two CloudStack day events collocated with Linuxcon, attendance
has been poor. CloudStack conference Europe is scheduled for Oct 8-9 in
Dublin, this is a multi-day event. It seems that the collocation with
linuxcon is not providing the cross-pollination hoped for and despite the
good number of registrations there is a significant number of no shows.
## Health report:
- Committee Health score: 9.60 (Super Healthy) from reporter.apache.org
- Participation on mailing lists is stable
- Participation in CloudStack day events has been poor so far this year
- Cycle of releases is healthy
## Issues:
- A slight note that ASF infra should make sure to pay attention to Docker Hub
integration and the use of it to house ASF software images.
- The CloudStack “marketing alliance” effort which had been discussed
at length has stalled with no further discussions.
- There are no other issues requiring board attention at this time

DESCRIPTION Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. ISSUES The board has a resolution on it's agenda for this meeting to change the Apache CloudStack PMC chair (special order G). CURRENT ACTIVITY * The community is still working on the next major release (4.5.0) of Apache CloudStack. The fourth release candidate was voted to become the release on march 5. A critical bug has been identified post release and the community is working on preparing the 4.5.1 release to address this bug. * Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.3.1 was released on Mar 4 2015. Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey is a CLI tool for interacting with Apache CloudStack and is distributed separate from Apache CloudStack * The community making steps to structurally improved the development process with regards to quality insurance. The community has asked a small group to work on a way of working proposal. * Two maintenance releases have been done for both the 4.3 and the 4.4 branch.

DESCRIPTION Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. ISSUES CVE-2014-7807: Apache CloudStack unauthenticated LDAP binds, Dec 8 2014 CURRENT ACTIVITY * The community is working on the next major release (4.5.0) of Apache CloudStack. The first release candidate is available already. * Ongoing efforts in fixing bugs and findings from static code analysis resulted in a number of bug fixes to existing branches. * Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.3.0 was released on Nov 11 2014. Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey is a CLI tool for interacting with Apache CloudStack and is distributed separate from Apache CloudStack * Apache CloudStack 4.4.1 was released Oct 23 2014. This maintenance release is followed by a second maintenance release numbered 4.4.2 at Dec 10 2014. Release 4.4.2 fixes the vulnerability reported in CVE-2014-7807 * The community enjoyed a very successful European CloudStack Collaboration Conference (CCCEU). CCCEU in Budapest. The new format including a full day single room track and poster sessions seemed to work out well. * The community is still struggling with way to improve quality and prevent master from breaking. Multiple efforts including improved automated testing and work flow enhancements are being executed and/or proposed. There is no clear consensus other than the generic agreement that the current situation leaves ample room for improvement. RELEASES Apache CloudStack 4.4.1 was released on Oct 23, 2014.

DESCRIPTION Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. ISSUES None CURRENT ACTIVITY * The community is working on maintenance releases for both the 4.3.0 and the 4.4.0 releases. * The agreed release schedule is not met at the moment as we regularly identify quality issues in pending releases. This is an ongoing process, but slowly we are improving our QA processes and introducing more testing capabilities. * Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.2.0 was released on Aug 28 2014. Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey is a CLI tool for interacting with Apache CloudStack and is distributed separate from Apache CloudStack * Apache CloudStack 4.4.0 was released July 26 2014. Some issues were identified with this release after the release. The community decided not to market this release to a big audience and work on a maintenance release immediately. * The community is working with The Linux Foundation to prepare the second European CloudStack Collaboration Conference (CCCEU). CCCEU will planned following ApacheCon in Budapest from November 19 till 21. It will have a new format which will hopefully engage more users and developers. * The CloudStack PMC was approached with a request to approve an outside organization being formed in order for companies to pool resources together to help promote Apache CloudStack. This included a specific request to use the term CloudStack within the name of the organization. The PMC voted to approve that request, but also consulted trademarks@ to get advice on how to handle the situation. The response led us to the decision to not formally approve the use of our mark, but to point the requester to the ASF's domain name policy. As a followup action, the PMC was asked to communicate its general agreement to the concept of a trade organization being independently formed to help promote our project. The PMC did that via an email to the "parent" organization that is currently being considered by these companies as the home for the CloudStack Alliance.

DESCRIPTION Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. ISSUES None CURRENT ACTIVITY * The community is working on the CloudStack 4.4.0 release. In the original planning the release should have been pushed out already. The delay is caused by testers identifying multiple blocking issues. * Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.1.0 was released on May 16 2014. Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey is a CLI tool for interacting with Apache CloudStack and is distributed separate from Apache CloudStack * The community is working with The Linux Foundation to setup the second European CloudStack Collaboration Conference (CCCEU). CCCEU will planned following ApacheCon in Budapest from November 19 till 21. * The Japanese user group is sending activity reports to the mailing-list. This gives the non-Japanese part of the community an insight on what they are doing and promotes cooperation worldwide across language barriers. * Our change in documentation format seems to have significantly improved the workflow for contributions, and we are now seeing an increase in the overall diversity and amount of doc contributions. * The Apache CloudStack PMC has voted in favor of licensing our marks to an external organization dedicated to promoting the Apache CloudStack project and ecosystem. We have forwarded the request for legal support in the drafting of a licensing agreement to VP Brand Management. * The decision above is meant as a complement to foundation and project-level awareness efforts. Several members of the PMC had a call with Sally on Thursday, May 1st, to ensure that she had the necessary background to help with a marketing strategy for the project. We are looking forward to the next steps with Sally on this front. * During ApacheCon, the project had engaged with the Infra team regarding our infrastructure needs for a build environment independent from a single vendor. Since that time, several members of the PMC has been working to pull together a specific proposal to share with Infra. At this point in time, we are still collating quotes and designs into a meaningful proposal. RELEASES Apache CloudStack 4.3.0 was released on March 25, 2014.

DESCRIPTION Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CURRENT ACTIVITY As this is an out of cycle report, and we just reported last month, this report does not include all of the typical elements. The CloudStack community has just held its Collaboration Conference in Denver, and would like to report that the event was a success. The fact that it was co-located with ApacheCon for the first time was a significant improvement on past events. Primarily, this is because it offered an opportunity for the CloudStack community to better integrate into the larger ASF family (and for ASF community members to learn more about CloudStack). We would like to thank the board, the executive officers and specifically Rich for his support.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Chip Childers to the office of Vice President, Apache CloudStack, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Chip Childers from the office of Vice President, Apache CloudStack, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache CloudStack project has chosen by vote to recommend Hugo Trippaers as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Chip Childers is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache CloudStack, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Hugo Trippaers be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache CloudStack, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed. Special Order 7B, Change the Apache CloudStack Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.
DESCRIPTION Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. ISSUES The board has a resolution on it's agenda for this meeting to change the Apache CloudStack PMC chair (special order B). CURRENT ACTIVITY * The community is finalizing our Apache CloudStack 4.3.0 release. This release was delayed from the community's initial target for a release date, due to an issue with how we were treating a specific dependency during the default build of the software. This issue was identified by the PMC and has been resolved. We are actively testing our latest RC now. * The project was informed that the Citrix-hosted realhostip.com DNS resolver service will be going offline this summer. It is currently used by CloudStack installations as a default installation configuration option. Best practice for production installations include changing this to a local solution, however we are aware that many installations do not make this change. We will be informing our user community of this news during our 4.3.0 release announcement, and have already committed a patch that removes the need for this external service from 4.3.0 onward. * The project is about to go into feature freeze for Apache CloudStack 4.4.0. * The documentation has made the proposed transition from the publican docbook format to .rst format. It is too early to tell if this had the desired effect on lowering the barriers for user contributions. * The community is working with TLF to organize the upcoming CCC14NA conference in Denver, with the event obviously being co-located with ApacheCon NA.

DESCRIPTION Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. ISSUES No issues for the board at this time. CURRENT ACTIVITY * The community is actively working on both Apache CloudStack 4.3.0 (feature release) and Apache CloudStack 4.2.1 (bug fix release). * The project accepted a donation of a plugin for CloudStack to orchestrate networks provided by the OpenContrail software from Juniper Networks. * A large number of new features, integrations and bug fixes continue to be committed to the repository, so we remain a healthy and growing project. * The community participated actively in the CloudStack Collaboration Conference EU in Amsterdam in early November. The event was quite successful, both in terms of drawing in new members to our community, as well as providing an opportunity for the Apache CloudStack community to work with a number of other projects (notably Apache Libcloud and Gluster). Close to 400 people attended the event. * We have broken out our CLI tool, CloudMonkey, from the main CloudStack git repository, and we have made our first release of that software in September. * We have broken the product documentation out from the main source code repository, with the specific intent of being able to have the documentation release / publishing process be faster and easier than the code itself. There is also a proposal being discussed to change from the publican docbook format to .rst format in the hope that this will lower the barriers for user contributions. RELEASES * Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.0.0 was released on September 24, 2013 * Apache CloudStack 4.2.0 was released on October 1, 2013.

DESCRIPTION Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. ISSUES CURRENT ACTIVITY * The community continues to work on new features, continued architectural improvements and bug fixes. Most focus has been on our 4.2.0 release. * Due to the high volume of emails on both dev@ and users@, Daan (dahn) has been providing the dev@ list with a responsiveness report listing questions that are unanswered (helping get them answered). * The community participated actively in the CloudStack Collaboration Conference in Santa Clara in June. A second collaboration conference is scheduled for Nov in Amsterdam (this has been shared with trademarks@), and the planning includes many PMC members, committers and community members. * Our community goal of having "time-based" feature releases continues to be challenging, due to the level of testing required to ensure that we are not introducing regressions into the software. Automated testing has continued to improve, but the community is also discussing how infrastructure changes could help manage the code quality with such a high rate of change. * We have broken out our CLI tool, CloudMonkey, from the main CloudStack git repository, and will be working toward independent releases of that software. * We are discussing breaking the product's documentation out into it's own repository, as well as potentially changing the format of the documentation source as a potential way to reduce the learning curve for new documentation contributors. RELEASES * 4.1.1 was released on August 6, 2013. * 4.2.0 has passed the vote, and will be announced shortly.

did not vote.
CloudStack is an IaaS (“Infrastructure as a Service”) cloud orchestration
platform.
CloudStack has been incubating since 2012-04-16.
A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation
1. Continuing to build the community and increase diversity, while
effectively managing the overall scale of the project.
2. Ensuring all deliberation, decision-making, and development is
happening openly and collaboratively.
3. Transfer trademark, etc. to Apache
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
No issues at this time
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have noticed a trend of features for CloudStack being developed
outside of the Apache CloudStack community and "thrown over the
wall." We are identifying features that may not have been developed
appropriately and requiring contributors to either demonstrate that
they have been discussed and developed in the open, or requiring IP
clearance for those features. We have also opened discussion about
this on the -dev mailing list and ensuring that committers
understand the obligations to development in the open.
The project has continuted to grow and has added several new PPMC
members and committers since October:
- Edison Su, Alex Huang, Hugo Trippaers, Chiradeep Vittal, and
Joe Brockmeier have joined the PPMC since October.
- Rohit Yadav, Marcus Sorensen, Gavin Lee, Sudha Ponnaganti, Kelcey
Damage, Min Chen, and Sebastien Goasguen have become committers.
Members of the CloudStack community have been active in promoting the
project since the last report, with members giving talks about Apache
CloudStack at USENIX LISA, CPOSC, ApacheCon EU, LinuxCon EU, and other
events.
The CloudStack Collaboration Conference (sponsored primarily by
Citrix) was a fairly successful first conference. More than 300
people attended the event, held November 30 - December 2 in Las
Vegas at The Venetian.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The first release, 4.0.0-incubating, was announced on November 6th.
The CloudStack.org domain now points to Apache infrastructure.
4.0.1 and 4.1.0 are currently in development. The community has
decided to work on a time-based release cycle for feature releases,
with 4.1.0 expected at the beginning of April. Feature releases will
follow a four-month cycle thereafter.

Looks great! Progress is still needed on the mentioned issues,
but there seem to be no major, insurmountable obstacles on the
way to graduation.
CloudStack is an IaaS (“Infrastracture as a Service”) cloud orchestration platform. CloudStack has been in incubation since 2012-04-16 A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation 1. Continuing to build the community and increase diversity 2. Shipping a release 3. Transfer trademark, etc. to Apache Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No issues at this time How has the community developed since the last report? The project has continued to improve its diversity, adding Chip Childers, John Kinsella, and Wido den Hollander to the PPMC and 3 new committers since the month of August. (Mice Xia, Jason Bausewein, and Joe Brockmeier.) We have also taken on a new mentor, Noah Slater. Contributors and committers have been active in promoting CloudStack at events, such as LinuxCon, Ohio LinuxFest, PuppetConf, a get-together at Schuberg Philis, and a number of other events. The community is participation at LinuxCon EU and ApacheCon EU and a number of other events through the remainder of 2012. Citrix is acting as primary sponsor of a CloudStack Collaboration Conference for November 30 through December 2 in Las Vegas. The conference is open to the community, and programming for the event will be chosen by a committee that includes members of the CloudStack community outside Citrix. How has the project developed since the last report? The pending 4.0 release has been branched. The project has made a great deal of progress towards the 4.0 release, handling a number of technical issues (such as a move to Maven) and resolving almost all known legal issues that would pose an obstacle to a release. The sole remaining blocker is under discussion and should be resolved shortly. The Jira instance for CloudStack was stood up in early September. License checks have been automated to ensure that we remain compliant with Apache guidelines going forward. Signed-off-by: nslater, mfranklin
A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation 1. Licensing work 2. Finishing up the move of CloudStack infrastructure resources to the ASF. 3. Shipping a release. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No issues at this time How has the community developed since the last report? CloudStack has added 6 new committers in the month of July. We had BOF and hackathon time at OSCON, which was a positive benefit for those committers who attended, particularly in being able to delve into issues around incubation, branding, and licensing. Additionally two committers presented tutorials at OSCON one focused on end users deploying CloudStack and the other focused on developers hacking on CloudStack, both had great attendance. We have also had some offers of contribution from people at Bitergia who are interested in contributing the work that they have done around metrics. which was a very encouraging start to growing the community. How has the project developed since the last report? Lots of modularization has been injected into CloudStack, which makes some of our licensing issues far less of a problem as we can merely turn the affected code off by default. The wiki has begun migration to an ASF hosted wiki instance. One of the CloudStack committers provided a dramatically easier way to be able to test and develop for CloudStack in the form a completely contained CloudStack environment that can be run as a VirtualBox VM. Much additional enhancement has been contributed to this making the process easier and easier to update. We also saw the movement of documentation from binary .docx files to DocBook XML; while this effort isn't complete it does permit folks to far more easily collaborate, as well as providing a far better interface for l10n.

CloudStack is an IaaS (“Infrastracture as a Service”) cloud orchestration platform. CloudStack has been in incubation since 2012-04-16 The top 3 issues to address to move towards graduation: - CloudStack's source still contains works that are prohibited for release under ASF guidelines - Performing a release - Migration of infrastructure (bug tracker, CI, websites, etc) How has the community developed since the last report: As of the time of this report at least one new committer has been added. Additionally, a number of previously unknown developers have begun making substantial quantities of bug fixes and even working on new functionality. How has the project developed since the last report: The project itself continues to deal with process questions as well as learning how to operate in the new environment. A good deal of work has been happening on resolving the problems in the code base around licensing, though not currently close to finishing. Signed off by mentor: jim
CloudStack is an IaaS (“Infrastracture as a Service”) cloud orchestration platform. CloudStack has been in incubation since 2012-04-16 CloudStack has been in the incubator for approximately 1.5 months. Mailing lists have migrated, accounts for the initial committers have been set up, and the initial code drop/git repo has been setup. Many new names are now participating in conversations on the mailing lists, with several of them volunteering to help move things along. The number of submitted patches from 'new names' in the month of May is in the double digits, and range from trivial one line fixes to two major patches with over 1,000 changed lines each. The community is beginning to exercise some of its decision making power by deciding about release tempo, future version schemes and numbers, and a number of other internal plumbing issues. Much remains to be done in preparation for the initial release, and those tasks are being identified. We also have a number of external resources (bug tracker, wiki, CI) that are still awaiting migration. Top 3 Issues to address in move towards graduation - The project is using source and binaries with a number of non-ASF-approved licenses. This needs remediation. - Diversity of the contributor base still needs to be expanded. - While we are making progress, there still remains a number of large pieces (bug tracker, wiki, test infra) that still need to be migrated to ASF infrastructure. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No issues that we are aware of at this point. How has the community developed since the last report? See the above narration, but generally speaking the community is beginning to exercise its decision making powers, largely around internal plumbing issues at the moment. We are also seeing a number of new developers submitting patches. How has the project developed since the last report? The project continues to have many issues to tackle for its first release and is identifying and moving forward on those issues. Work continues on solutions to remove the need to massive (or any) amount of additional hardware to test/develop with in an effort to lower the barrier to participate. Signed off by mentor:
CloudStack is an IaaS (“Infrastracture as a Service”) cloud orchestration
platform. CloudStack has been in incubation since 2012-04-16
Overview:
Cloudstack just entered the incubator a couple of weeks ago. Since then,
the mailing list has been setup and discussions have started to migrate
from the existing list to the ASF-hosted list, with several 'new names'
participating including one of those 'new names' submitting a patch.
Currently, the code repository and bulk of existing infrastructure is still
hosted by Citrix, but the community is looking forward to getting that
moved to Apache as soon as possible.
A list of the most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. The base level of infrastructure migration has begun but still has far
to be finished. At present the mailing lists exist, but wiki, project
website, source repository, bug tracker, etc still need to be brought
up and migrated. In many ways we are blocked on further progress by
lack of account creation for initial committers.
2. Diversity of the contributor base still needs to be expanded - this was
identified as an issue in the proposal, and remains one, though we are
encouraged by a seeming uptick (we've been in incubation for less than
a week, so trends are indeed difficult to identify at this point) in
interest on the mailing lists from previously uninvolved individuals.
3. The project needs a working process definition. What is the review
process for contributions, recommendations for engaging before writing
large amounts of code, etc.
4. The project is using source and binaries with a number of
non-ASF-approved licenses. This needs remediation.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
No issues that we are aware of at this point.
How has the community developed since the last report?
There has been no previous report - so nothing to report here.
