Thanks for raising this. In my experience, it's a rare project that moves from a single-sponsor model to a full-blown community model that doesn't hit some growing pains.

On my end, I'll do my best to ensure that anything touching on Apache CloudStack and events that I work with are discussed on-list, etc. If there's an area where I fall down on that, please say something. Coordinating those types of events/activities are a *bit* less straightforward than the process for collaborating on, say, a feature or patch. All that to say - I appreciate any feedback or concerns, and any assistance that the community would care to provide when I'm doing anything that represents or touches on Apache CloudStack. I take my responsibilities as an individual contributor to CloudStack very seriously - I may make mistakes, but it's my intent to ensure that it's a successful *community* project.
