+1 While I appreciate the don't-play-favorites sentiments, I do feel that we are over thinking this issue. If favoritism becomes an issue, we can revisit. At that point, I'd imagine that there would be half-a-dozen books on CloudStack and listing/not listing them won't make much difference -- so we could remove ALL books. We're not there yet.
At this point in time, it is appropriate to support such efforts. -- Chiradeep On 5/27/13 1:27 AM, "Sebastien Goasguen" <run...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hi, > >After a relatively long discussion on the marketing@ list about the >"Packt Book" [1] I would like to call a vote. > >Proposal: >---------------- >I propose to list CloudStack related books on our website [2].
