Hi Daan, I think that we should do a proper introduction. It might seem kind of odd to some people that a bunch of folks suddenly started working for free.
Our first PR was done a while ago: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/560. Then we did https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/700, and the last one was the https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/714, that is still in the review process. Until now you know Pedro (PR 714) and Critofolini (PR 700), but we are a team of five. We work under the same project and the improvements/clean ups that we have been doing to the ACS is a way we found to improve our knowledge of the software that we are using. I am a Ph. D. candidate, researching/developing autonomic models that can be used to manage and optimize a cloud computing environment that provide infrastructure as a service. We have done an extensive work comparing and discussing cloud computing orchestration platforms that are most widely used. CloudStack was the orchestration tool chosen to develop my proposals, in order to test and validate them. I have several undergrad students working with me; none of them had real experience developing java web applications, the PRs we are creating is the way we found to teach them some Java developing skills, while getting to know a little better of ACS core and architecture. At the same time we are contributing to the software we use. The team that works with me and you will probably see creating more PRs is the following: - Gabriel Beims Bräscher - Pedro Henrique Pereira Martins - Lucas Berri Cristofolini - Alexandre Santana All of them are Computer Science student. They all are developing their graduation projects within my thesis. Sadly, some of the things we are doing here and that we have already prototyped, we cannot commit to the ACS community (at least not yet); hence it is part of a thesis project. However, once we start publishing papers, I think you will like what we have been working on. Hope we can keep up the good work and keep learning with you all guys from the ACS community. Waiting to hear the feedbacks on PR 714 ;) On Sat, Aug 22, 2015 at 1:10 AM, Daan Hoogland <daan.hoogl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > everybody, I will LGTM PR #714 [1] and I would like to have more then one > extra pair of eyes this time.
