Skeleton July 2016 board report wiki page up

[Andrew Phillips <ap...@qrmedia.com>]

Hi all

I've created a skeleton wiki page for the upcoming board report:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/JCLOUDS/2016+-+July+Board+Report+Draft

There's a bunch of TODOs in there, so please update/amend as 
appropriate.

Looking at the last release date: would it make sense to consider 
another 1.9.x maintenance release in the next couple of weeks?

Regards

ap

Thanks to all who contributed! I plan to submit the board report by the end
of this week, so please, if there is something to be added, do it as soon
as possible!

Very close. The Microsoft guys have a branch where the base live tests
are passing, and that's enough even to promote the provider. They have
to do some cleanups though, but everything is in place, so it would
not take much.

This said, I also see value in a 1.9.3 release: as you say it's been
over a year since 1.9, but 2.0 will introduce some important changes
and I'm not sure everyone would be able to upgrade. There are many
issues that are only in 2.0 that could be cherry-picked to 1.9.x that
could justify a 1.9.3 release.

In the end... I don't see anything wrong in releasing 1.9.3, even if
we release it the same day than 2.0. It is all about providing the
users what they need.

I'd say +1 to release 2.0 as soon as B2 and ARM are complete (and I'd
promote Docker too). And +1 to release 1.9.3.

I volunteer to scan the JIRA (although I'd appreciate help on this)
looking for issues affecting 1.9.2 that are only in 2.0 and see which
ones can be cherry-picked. Then I'll volunteer to do the release too.

I strongly prefer to run a 2.0 release from master; it has been over a
year since 1.9!  ASAP is always better, but we have the B2 and Azure ARM
providers under development.  The former is almost complete; how close
are we on the latter?
