[DISCUSS] Announcement draft for CloudMonkey 5.3.0 release
Hi Sally and team,
We recently voted for a new CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.3.0 release which has passed now: http://markmail.org/message/p2vkalx25uv2bx7y
Can any of the PMC members help move the voted artifact to releases over svn: (since I lack rights)
svn mv -m "Publishing Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.3.0 release" https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/cloudstack/cloudmonkey-5.3.0/https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/cloudstack/releases
The artifact has been published to PYPI now. As soon as the artifact is moved to releases (above), I’ll update the links on our website.
I’ve used the template from last time that Sally helped review/make. Like last time, I thought I would share the announcement draft for your review and comments:
#### Draft start ####
<Date of announcement> November 2014 —Apache CloudStack, the mature, turnkey Open Source cloud computing software platform used for creating private, public, and hybrid cloud environments, today announced Apache CloudMonkey v5.3.0, the latest feature release of its command line interface tool.
CloudMonkey is written in Python, and can be used both as an interactive shell and as a command line tool that simplifies CloudStack configuration and management.
Apache CloudMonkey v5.3.0 is the latest feature release of the 5.x line that was first released in September 2013. Some of the new features and changes include:
• Unicode support in CloudMonkey;
• Better autocompletion for API arguments, filter arguments and config options;
• Current server profile is displayed on the prompt;
• Changing server profile prints masked values of passwords and keys;
• New command line argument -d for display options such as default, json and table;
• New config option “verifysslcert” that enables/disables SSL certificate checking when making HTTP API calls;
• CloudMonkey outputs without color on terminal in non-interactive mode;
• Better error handling, errors written to stderr and non-zero exit codes in case of error;
• Several bugfixes related to networking, server profiles and unicode string handling;
Downloads and Documentation
The official source code for CloudMonkey v5.3.0 can be downloaded from http://cloudstack.apache.org/downloads.html. A community-maintained distribution is available at the Python Package Index (PyPi) at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloudmonkey/
CloudMonkey's usage is documented at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+CloudMonkey+CLI Package documentation can be found at http://pythonhosted.org/cloudmonkey/
Availability and Oversight
As with all Apache products, CloudMonkey is released under the Apache License v2.0, and is overseen by a self-selected team of active contributors to the project. The Apache CloudStack Project Management Committee (PMC) guides the Project's day-to-day operations, including community development and product releases.

Hi Sally,
Yes we can do it tomorrow or at a suitable date/time this week as you advise. Would you like me to do the announcement on cloudstack lists (announcements, dev, user, marketing etc.) as I did last time or if you or any of the PMC/marketing leaders should do it? We’ll go with what you advise. Thanks.

Thanks so much, Rohit.
When would you like to announce? Tomorrow? If so, we can go live as early as 6AM ET barring any pushback from the CloudStack marketing@, press@, or PMC teams (bcc'd) . Please let me know if there are any show-stoppers here.
Also, to ensure that our punchlist is properly managed, here's what I plan to do execution-wise:
- put announcement out on https://blogs.apache.org/cloudstack/
- tweet at https://twitter.com/CloudStack and https://twitter.com/TheASF
- issue to announce@apache.org and our media/analyst list
I know the announcement has to also go to the dev@ and other lists --can someone please coordinate this?
Thanking you in advance,
Sally

Sorry about this email earlier, Ian suggested on the dev ML that we need two more +1 binding votes from PMC to get lazy consensus on the 5.3.0 voting. So, let’s hold this thread till it passes. We can reuse the draft once it gets passed.
