The proposal is available at [1] and I have also included it below. Please vote with: +1: accept CloudStack into Incubator +0: don't care -1: do not accept CloudStack into Incubator (please explain the objection) The vote is open for at least 72 hours from now (until at least 19:00 US-PST on April 12, 2012). Thanks for the consideration. -kevin [1] http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CloudStackProposal Abstract CloudStack is an IaaS ("Infrastracture as a Service") cloud orchestration platform. Proposal CloudStack provides control plane software that can be used to create an IaaS cloud. It includes an HTTP-based API for user and administrator functions and a web UI for user and administrator access. Administrators can provision physical infrastructure (e.g., servers, network elements, storage) into an instance of CloudStack, while end users can use the CloudStack self-service API and UI for the provisioning and management of virtual machines, virtual disks, and virtual networks. Citrix Systems, Inc. submits this proposal to donate the CloudStack source code, documentation, websites, and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation ("ASF"). Background Amazon and other cloud pioneers invented IaaS clouds. Typically these clouds provide virtual machines to end users. CloudStack additionally provides baremetal OS installation to end users via a self-service interface. The management of physical resources to provide the larger goal of cloud service delivery is known as "orchestration". IaaS clouds are usually described as "elastic" -- an elastic service is one that allows its user to rapidly scale up or down their need for resources. A number of open source projects and companies have been created to implement IaaS clouds. Cloud.com started CloudStack in 2008 and released the source under GNU General Public License version 3 ("GPL v3") in 2010. Citrix acquired Cloud.com, including CloudStack, in 2011. Citrix re-licensed the CloudStack source under Apache License v2 in April, 2012. Rationale IaaS clouds provide the ability to implement datacenter operations in a programmable fashion. This functionality is tremendously powerful and benefits the community by providing: - More efficient use of datacenter personnel - More efficient use of datacenter hardware - Better responsiveness to user requests - Better uptime/availability through automation While there are several open source IaaS efforts today, none are governed by an independent foundation such as ASF. Vendor influence and/or proprietary implementations may limit the community's ability to choose the hardware and software for use in the datacenter. The community at large will benefit from the ability to enhance the orchestration layer as needed for particular hardware or software support, and to implement algorithms and features that may reduce cost or increase user satisfaction for specific use cases. In this respect the independent nature of the ASF is key to the long term health and success of the project. Initial Goals The CloudStack project has two initial goals after the proposal is accepted and the incubation has begun. The Cloudstack Project's first goal is to ensure that the CloudStack source includes only third party code that is licensed under the Apache License or open source licenses that are approved by the ASF for use in ASF projects. The CloudStack Project has begun the process of removing third party code that is not licensed under an ASF approved license. This is an ongoing process that will continue into the incubation period. Third party code contributed to CloudStack under the CloudStack contribution agreement was assigned to Cloud.com in exchange for distributing CloudStack under GPLv3. The CloudStack project has begun the process of amending the previous CloudStack contribution agreements to obtain consent from existing contributors to change the CloudStack project's license. In the event that an existing contributor does not consent to this change, the project is prepared to remove that contributor's code. Additionally, there are binary dependencies on redistributed libraries that are not provided with an ASF-approved license. Finally, the CloudStack has source files incorporated from third parties that were not provided with an ASF-approved license. We have begun the process of re-writing this software. This is an ongoing process that will extend into the incubation period. These issues are discussed in more detail later in the proposal. Although CloudStack is open source, many design documents and discussions that should have been publicly available and accessible were not publicized. The Project's second goal will be to fix this lack of transparency by encouraging the initial committers to publicize technical documentation

A binary release may also be provided, in which case its N&L files need to correspond with what is in the binary release. For building from source, the dependencies need to be provided somehow. Various options are possible: - written instructions how to get the dependencies and where to put them - separate script to download the dependencies - build process automatically downloads the dependencies. Depending on the licenses of 3rd party jars you may need to provide a combination of methods. There are some types of dependencies that can only be included if the user makes a deliberate choice of downloading them, see the cited doc. If all the dependencies are binary-distributable, it's probably also OK to provide an archive containing just the dependencies.

Thanks for the consideration. -kevin [1] http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CloudStackProposal Abstract CloudStack is an IaaS ("Infrastracture as a Service") cloud orchestration platform. Proposal CloudStack provides control plane software that can be used to create an IaaS cloud. It includes an HTTP-based API for user and administrator functions and a web UI for user and administrator access. Administrators can provision physical infrastructure (e.g., servers, network elements, storage) into an instance of CloudStack, while end users can use the CloudStack self-service API and UI for the provisioning and management of virtual machines, virtual disks, and virtual networks. Citrix Systems, Inc. submits this proposal to donate the CloudStack source code, documentation, websites, and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation ("ASF"). Background Amazon and other cloud pioneers invented IaaS clouds. Typically these clouds provide virtual machines to end users. CloudStack additionally provides baremetal OS installation to end users via a self-service interface. The management of physical resources to provide the larger goal of cloud service delivery is known as "orchestration". IaaS clouds are usually described as "elastic" -- an elastic service is one that allows its user to rapidly scale up or down their need for resources. A number of open source projects and companies have been created to implement IaaS clouds. Cloud.com started CloudStack in 2008 and released the source under GNU General Public License version 3 ("GPL v3") in 2010. Citrix acquired Cloud.com, including CloudStack, in 2011. Citrix re-licensed the CloudStack source under Apache License v2 in April, 2012. Rationale IaaS clouds provide the ability to implement datacenter operations in a programmable fashion. This functionality is tremendously powerful and benefits the community by providing: - More efficient use of datacenter personnel - More efficient use of datacenter hardware - Better responsiveness to user requests - Better uptime/availability through automation While there are several open source IaaS efforts today, none are governed by an independent foundation such as ASF. Vendor influence and/or proprietary implementations may limit the community's ability to choose the hardware and software for use in the datacenter. The community at large will benefit from the ability to enhance the orchestration layer as needed for particular hardware or software support, and to implement algorithms and features that may reduce cost or increase user satisfaction for specific use cases. In this respect the independent nature of the ASF is key to the long term health and success of the project. Initial Goals The CloudStack project has two initial goals after the proposal is accepted and the incubation has begun. The Cloudstack Project's first goal is to ensure that the CloudStack source includes only third party code that is licensed under the Apache License or open source licenses that are approved by the ASF for use in ASF projects. The CloudStack Project has begun the process of removing third party code that is not licensed under an ASF approved license. This is an ongoing process that will continue into the incubation period. Third party code contributed to CloudStack under the CloudStack contribution agreement was assigned to Cloud.com in exchange for distributing CloudStack under GPLv3. The CloudStack project has begun the process of amending the previous CloudStack contribution agreements to obtain consent from existing contributors to change the CloudStack project's license. In the event that an existing contributor does not consent to this change, the project is prepared to remove that contributor's code. Additionally, there are binary dependencies on redistributed libraries that are not provided with an ASF-approved

Thanks for the consideration. -kevin [1] http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CloudStackProposal Abstract CloudStack is an IaaS ("Infrastracture as a Service") cloud orchestration platform. Proposal CloudStack provides control plane software that can be used to create an IaaS cloud. It includes an HTTP-based API for user and administrator functions and a web UI for user and administrator access. Administrators can provision physical infrastructure (e.g., servers, network elements, storage) into an instance of CloudStack, while end users can use the CloudStack self-service API and UI for the provisioning and management of virtual machines, virtual disks, and virtual networks. Citrix Systems, Inc. submits this proposal to donate the CloudStack source code, documentation, websites, and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation ("ASF"). Background Amazon and other cloud pioneers invented IaaS clouds. Typically these clouds provide virtual machines to end users. CloudStack additionally provides baremetal OS installation to end users via a self-service interface. The management of physical resources to provide the larger goal of cloud service delivery is known as "orchestration". IaaS clouds are usually described as "elastic" -- an elastic service is one that allows its user to rapidly scale up or down their need for resources. A number of open source projects and companies have been created to implement IaaS clouds. Cloud.com started CloudStack in 2008 and released the source under GNU General Public License version 3 ("GPL v3") in 2010. Citrix acquired Cloud.com, including CloudStack, in 2011. Citrix re-licensed the CloudStack source under Apache License v2 in April, 2012. Rationale IaaS clouds provide the ability to implement datacenter operations in a programmable fashion. This functionality is tremendously powerful and benefits the community by providing: - More efficient use of datacenter personnel - More efficient use of datacenter hardware - Better responsiveness to user requests - Better uptime/availability through automation While there are several open source IaaS efforts today, none are governed by an independent foundation such as ASF. Vendor influence and/or proprietary implementations may limit the community's ability to choose the hardware and software for use in the datacenter. The community at large will benefit from the ability to enhance the orchestration layer as needed for particular hardware or software support, and to implement algorithms and features that may reduce cost or increase user satisfaction for specific use cases. In this respect the independent nature of the ASF is key to the long term health and success of the project. Initial Goals The CloudStack project has two initial goals after the proposal is accepted and the incubation has begun. The Cloudstack Project's first goal is to ensure that the CloudStack source includes only third party code that is licensed under the Apache License or open source licenses that are approved by the ASF for use in ASF projects. The CloudStack Project has begun the process of removing third party code that is not licensed under an ASF approved license. This is an ongoing process that will continue into the incubation period. Third party code contributed to CloudStack under the CloudStack contribution agreement was assigned to Cloud.com in exchange for distributing CloudStack under GPLv3. The CloudStack project has begun the process of amending the previous CloudStack contribution agreements to obtain consent from existing contributors to change the CloudStack project's license. In the event that an existing contributor does not consent to this change, the project is prepared to remove that contributor's code. Additionally, there are binary dependencies on redistributed libraries that are not provided with an ASF-approved license. Finally, the CloudStack has source files incorporated from third parties that were not provided with an ASF-approved license. We have begun the process of re-writing this software.

I think my opinion on #2 is that we are still working to do that. The great news is that Andy Seaborne from Jena is onboard as a committer and PPMC member, helping to bridge the semantic web efforts, and we are starting to have some cross pollination (e.g., with the recent GeoSPARQL thread and with efforts from Paolo). So, lots of activity, mainly driven by the original guys, but slowly growing and showing really good progress iMHO. And, to add, Lewis wasn't one of the original team that started Any23, pre-Apache, so the fact that Lewis has stepped up and is really helping to charge forward is a great sign of diversity too.

I'd like to call for a VOTE for CloudStack to enter the Incubator. The proposal is available at [1] and I have also included it below. Please vote with: +1: accept CloudStack into Incubator +0: don't care -1: do not accept CloudStack into Incubator (please explain the objection) The vote is open for at least 72 hours from now (until at least 19:00 US-PST on April 12, 2012). Thanks for the consideration. -kevin [1] http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CloudStackProposal Abstract CloudStack is an IaaS ("Infrastracture as a Service") cloud orchestration platform. Proposal CloudStack provides control plane software that can be used to create an IaaS cloud. It includes an HTTP-based API for user and administrator functions and a web UI for user and administrator access. Administrators can provision physical infrastructure (e.g., servers, network elements, storage) into an instance of CloudStack, while end users can use the CloudStack self-service API and UI for the provisioning and management of virtual machines, virtual disks, and virtual networks. Citrix Systems, Inc. submits this proposal to donate the CloudStack source code, documentation, websites, and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation ("ASF"). Background Amazon and other cloud pioneers invented IaaS clouds. Typically these clouds provide virtual machines to end users. CloudStack additionally provides baremetal OS installation to end users via a self-service interface. The management of physical resources to provide the larger goal of cloud service delivery is known as "orchestration". IaaS clouds are usually described as "elastic" -- an elastic service is one that allows its user to rapidly scale up or down their need for resources. A number of open source projects and companies have been created to implement IaaS clouds. Cloud.com started CloudStack in 2008 and released the source under GNU General Public License version 3 ("GPL v3") in 2010. Citrix acquired Cloud.com, including CloudStack, in 2011. Citrix re-licensed the CloudStack source under Apache License v2 in April, 2012. Rationale IaaS clouds provide the ability to implement datacenter operations in a programmable fashion. This functionality is tremendously powerful and benefits the community by providing: - More efficient use of datacenter personnel - More efficient use of datacenter hardware - Better responsiveness to user requests - Better uptime/availability through automation While there are several open source IaaS efforts today, none are governed by an independent foundation such as ASF. Vendor influence and/or proprietary implementations may limit the community's ability to choose the hardware and software for use in the datacenter. The community at large will benefit from the ability to enhance the orchestration layer as needed for particular hardware or software support, and to implement algorithms and features that may reduce cost or increase user satisfaction for specific use cases. In this respect the independent nature of the ASF is key to the long term health and success of the project. Initial Goals The CloudStack project has two initial goals after the proposal is accepted and the incubation has begun. The Cloudstack Project's first goal is to ensure that the CloudStack source includes only third party code that is licensed under the Apache License or open source licenses that are approved by the ASF for use in ASF projects. The CloudStack Project has begun the process of removing third party code that is not licensed under an ASF approved license. This is an ongoing process that will continue into the incubation period. Third party code contributed to CloudStack under the CloudStack contribution agreement was assigned to Cloud.com in exchange for distributing CloudStack under GPLv3. The CloudStack project has begun the process of amending the previous CloudStack contribution agreements to obtain consent from existing contributors to change the CloudStack project's license. In the event that an existing contributor does not consent to this change, the project is prepared to remove that contributor's code. Additionally, there are binary dependencies on redistributed libraries that are not provided with an ASF-approved license. Finally, the CloudStack has source files incorporated from third parties that were not provided with an ASF-approved license. We have begun the process of re-writing this software. This is an ongoing process that will extend into the incubation period. These issues are discussed in more detail later in the proposal. Although CloudStack is open source, many design documents and discussions that should have been publicly available and accessible were not publicized.
