What you can't gauge is the amount of emails and conversations I have, for instance, with magazines and VPs all very interested in ACS, where it is ,and how long it will take. I can imagine several community members field the same types of question I do daily.
Openstack has higher numbers, yes... But then again AWS is even higher. Even pure vmware has decent numbers, but numbers can misrepresent mobility, and interest. We fall mainly into the interest level for corporations. Many have increased their interest since us becoming an Apache product. Certainly, we are not losing ground :). -kd >-----Original Message----- >From: Clayton Weise [mailto:cwe...@iswest.net] >Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 4:37 PM >To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org >Subject: RE: CloudStack VS OpenStack - stack wars > >What development resources does your employer have available?
