[1] > > Regards, > Dave > > [1] http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/04/citrix-cloudstack/ I read that link and IMHO: 1- I believe there is no problem that Citrix didn't find it self in OpenStack community and they looked into other open source communities into which they can invest their expertise and technology and also invest in building a community around that by donating that code to ASF 2- These kinds of splits I believe it happens all the time and no harm about it at all more specifically it has been mentioned that the split was a clean one and no problems emerged as a consequence 3- I don't think at all that donating CloudStack to ASF can be looked at as starting a *war* between open source cloud stacks in a bad way, on contrary I believe that different open source communities compete among each other in the good meaning of the word which is the main engine behind open source innovation that each community tries to produce the best they can 4- If what is said is that article and other related articles is true [1], that CloudStack is more mature and stable than OpenStack, then I believe that is good for ASF to have CloudStack Referrals to AOO and problems and challenges happened at that time as accepting the donation of such big project, I think we now have a better opportunity to deal better with the case of CloudStack because we can learn from what happened back at the time of AOO That said I believe it is better to focus on the proposal and the challenges we have when/if accepting CloudStack, which I believe that we should accept such proposal [1] - http://blogs.gartner.com/lydia_leong/2012/04/03/citrix-cloudstack-openstack-and-the-war-for-open-source-clouds/ > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > > -- Thanks - Mohammad Nour ---- "Life is like riding a bicycle.
