[Review] CloudMonkey v6.0.0 release announcement review request
All,
Kindly review the release announcement for CloudMonkey v6.0.0, and also share your quotes/comments that we can use in the release wrt cloudmonkey v6.0:
### START ###
<Date: 20 March 2019> — The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today Apache® CloudStack® CloudMonkey v6.0, the latest version of the turnkey enterprise Cloud orchestration platform's command line interface tool.
Apache CloudStack is the proven, highly scalable, and easy-to-deploy IaaS platform used for rapidly creating private, public, and hybrid Cloud environments. Thousands of large-scale public Cloud providers and enterprise organizations use Apache CloudStack to enable billions of dollars worth of business transactions annually across their clouds.
Apache CloudMonkey v6.0.0 is the latest major release since the previous major 5.x release in September 2013. CloudMonkey v6.0.0 is a rewrite of the original tool in Go programming language, and can be used both as an interactive shell and as a command line tool that simplifies CloudStack configuration and management.
Some of the new features and major changes include:
* Rewrite in Go, ships as single binary for Linux, Mac, and Windows
* Drop-in replacement for legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
* About 5-20x faster than legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
* Interactive UX for parameter and arg completion and selection
* JSON is the default output format
* New column based output
* Enable debug mode using set debug true option, file-based logging removed
* Per server profile based API cache
* New syntax arg=@/path/to/file to pass the content of file as API argument value similar to curl
* Improve help docs using -h argument
* Removed: XML output, coloured output, several set options
"This release is the work of over one year of effort and driven by the people operating CloudStack clouds,” said Rohit Yadav, Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey v6.0 author, and release manager. "I would like to thank the contributors across all of these organizations for supporting this release, which reflects both the user-driven nature of our community and the Apache CloudStack project's commitment to continue to be the most stable, easily deployable, scalable Open Source platform for IaaS. Along with ease of installation, usage and availability of cross-platform dependency-free builds including Windows builds, v6.0 brings many changes and optimizations such as more interactive shell for parameter completion, faster API requests processing, server profile specific API caching, improved API help docs and a new syntax to pass content of files as API parameter argument." The background and story of v6.0 effort was recently blogged here: https://www.shapeblue.com/whats-coming-in-the-new-cloudmonkey-6-0/

Hi Sally,
Thanks for reviews, please proceed with the changes you've advised.
While I've requested people already for their quotes, we don't have any so far. I've reached out to PMCs again today, so please include any quotes if they do arrive on this thread (on marketing@ ML).
I think let's lock on the date, 20th March 2019. After you can confirm the announcement, I'll send the email to various lists and put the same on cloudstack asf blog.

Hello again, Rohit --following up on this:
- we need a headline and subhead; how about
The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache(r) CloudMonkey(r) v6.0
Popular Open Source Command Line Interface Tool Simplifies Apache CloudStack Configuration and Management
- we'll need to update the ASF boilerplate. I can do that on my end.
If we're aiming to announce on 20 March, we'll need to lock in the copy no later than 6PM ET (UTC -5) on Tuesday 19 March. Do you have additional testimonials to include?
Are there any outstanding issues that I can help with?
Kind thanks,
Sally

@Rohit, I'd like us to consider holding off on announcing this until Monday. Let's give folks a chance to respond to the request.
Is there a reason to rush this out for tomorrow? It's not CloudStack itself, and it's been a few years since the last major release, so there *should* be a bit of wiggle room here.
Your thoughts on this?

I can certainly see a major speed improvements, but also having backward compatibility is what is so great with this new release."

Hi Sally,
Incoming.... :
Andrija Panic, who recently joined ShapeBlue as a Cloud Architect, said: "After many years of managing a production CloudStack deployments, I consider CloudMonkey a core tool in anyone's CloudStack toolkit, and now also being available for Windows makes me really happy. I can certainly see a major speed improvements, but also having backward compatibility is what is so great with this new release."

Thanks, Giles. This is great.
Ideally we'll have a quote from at least one other user... :-D
I can ask someone from the CloudStack community if they can help. Not sure of their availability due to time zones, but I'll keep you posted.
Warm regards,

Beautiful! Thank you, PIerre-Luc!
Question: may I write out "less than second" or "under a second" vs. "0.5s"? It would be OK if written, but as these are considered spoken quotes, it might read oddly as "oh-point-five-ess", if you know what I mean <g>
This is excellent. We have a well-written announcement, with enough community support to send the right message that reinforces that Apache CloudStack stable, reliable, dependable, and here to stay.
So back to you, Rohit: shall we announce tomorrow? If so, I'll lock in the copy in a few hours.
Warm thanks, everyone, for your help here. It really makes a difference!

if I may contribute as a cloudmonkey fan and long timer user:
Pierre-Luc Dion, cloud architect at cloud.ca<http://cloud.ca>: "CloudMonkey is now written in Golang, and with version 6.0 loading speed has been drastically improved (accessing the CLI in under 0.5s). This simplifies installation, deployments, updates, and operational efficiency."
Python version used to take 15s to load on my side !

OK, so we have a few adjustments to the quotes. Two from vendors, and two from the Apache CloudStack community.
I've added a teeny tweak to the sub-head ("faster/easier").
We'd like the blog post to be referenceable from apache.org<http://apache.org>, if at all possible.
Once that's in place, we can announce. As early as Wednesday <g>

I've got a draft at https://docs.google.com/document/d/14ER9WcNpHjsZBjHV0dL0J6InTDPfhFZmhHFnpr1XyV8/edit?usp=sharing
Is Andrija a member of the PMC? We can work around this, possibly.

Thank you, but we also need some diversity here, please.
The ASF is vendor-neutral and does not include multiple quotes from a single vendor. Right now we only have testimonials from folks employed by ShapeBlue.
How is it that we cannot find a single other user to participate?
@Rohit, I'd like us to consider holding off on announcing this until Monday. Let's give folks a chance to respond to the request.
Is there a reason to rush this out for tomorrow? It's not CloudStack itself, and it's been a few years since the last major release, so there *should* be a bit of wiggle room here.
Your thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Sally

Beautiful! Thank you, PIerre-Luc!
Question: may I write out "less than second" or "under a second" vs. "0.5s"? It would be OK if written, but as these are considered spoken quotes, it might read oddly as "oh-point-five-ess", if you know what I mean <g>
This is excellent. We have a well-written announcement, with enough community support to send the right message that reinforces that Apache CloudStack stable, reliable, dependable, and here to stay.
So back to you, Rohit: shall we announce tomorrow? If so, I'll lock in the copy in a few hours.
Warm thanks, everyone, for your help here. It really makes a difference!

How is it that we cannot find a single other user to participate?
@Rohit, I'd like us to consider holding off on announcing this until Monday. Let's give folks a chance to respond to the request.
Is there a reason to rush this out for tomorrow? It's not CloudStack itself, and it's been a few years since the last major release, so there *should* be a bit of wiggle room here.
Your thoughts on this?

Hi Sally,
Incoming.... :
Andrija Panic, who recently joined ShapeBlue as a Cloud Architect, said: "After many years of managing a production CloudStack deployments, I consider CloudMonkey a core tool in anyone's CloudStack toolkit, and now also being available for Windows makes me really happy. I can certainly see a major speed improvements, but also having backward compatibility is what is so great with this new release."

Thanks, Giles. This is great.
Ideally we'll have a quote from at least one other user... :-D
I can ask someone from the CloudStack community if they can help. Not sure of their availability due to time zones, but I'll keep you posted.
Warm regards,
Sally

Beautiful! Thank you, PIerre-Luc!
Question: may I write out "less than second" or "under a second" vs. "0.5s"? It would be OK if written, but as these are considered spoken quotes, it might read oddly as "oh-point-five-ess", if you know what I mean <g>
This is excellent. We have a well-written announcement, with enough community support to send the right message that reinforces that Apache CloudStack stable, reliable, dependable, and here to stay.
So back to you, Rohit: shall we announce tomorrow? If so, I'll lock in the copy in a few hours.
Warm thanks, everyone, for your help here. It really makes a difference!

How is it that we cannot find a single other user to participate?
@Rohit, I'd like us to consider holding off on announcing this until Monday. Let's give folks a chance to respond to the request.
Is there a reason to rush this out for tomorrow? It's not CloudStack itself, and it's been a few years since the last major release, so there *should* be a bit of wiggle room here.
Your thoughts on this?

Thanks, Giles. This is great.
Ideally we'll have a quote from at least one other user... :-D
I can ask someone from the CloudStack community if they can help. Not sure of their availability due to time zones, but I'll keep you posted.
Warm regards,

Re: [Review] CloudMonkey v6.0.0 release announcement review request
Posted by Sally Khudairi <sk...@apache.org>.
Beautiful! Thank you, PIerre-Luc!
Question: may I write out "less than second" or "under a second" vs. "0.5s"? It would be OK if written, but as these are considered spoken quotes, it might read oddly as "oh-point-five-ess", if you know what I mean <g>
This is excellent. We have a well-written announcement, with enough community support to send the right message that reinforces that Apache CloudStack stable, reliable, dependable, and here to stay.
So back to you, Rohit: shall we announce tomorrow? If so, I'll lock in the copy in a few hours.
Warm thanks, everyone, for your help here. It really makes a difference!

@Rohit, I'd like us to consider holding off on announcing this until Monday. Let's give folks a chance to respond to the request.
Is there a reason to rush this out for tomorrow? It's not CloudStack itself, and it's been a few years since the last major release, so there *should* be a bit of wiggle room here.
Your thoughts on this?

Re: [Review] CloudMonkey v6.0.0 release announcement review request
Posted by Pierre-Luc Dion <pd...@apache.org>.
if I may contribute as a cloudmonkey fan and long timer user:
Pierre-Luc Dion, cloud architect at cloud.ca: "CloudMonkey is now written
in Golang, and with version 6.0 loading speed has been drastically improved
(accessing the CLI in under 0.5s). This simplifies installation,
deployments, updates, and operational efficiency."
Python version used to take 15s to load on my side !

Re: [Review] CloudMonkey v6.0.0 release announcement review request
Posted by Sally Khudairi <sk...@apache.org>.
OK, so we have a few adjustments to the quotes. Two from vendors, and two from the Apache CloudStack community.
I've added a teeny tweak to the sub-head ("faster/easier").
We'd like the blog post to be referenceable from apache.org, if at all possible.
Once that's in place, we can announce. As early as Wednesday <g>
Kind thanks,
Sally

Re: [Review] CloudMonkey v6.0.0 release announcement review request
Posted by Sally Khudairi <sk...@apache.org>.
...two minutes later ...
"Apache CloudStack is a significant part of our Cloud portfolio right now – we run large deployments all over the world, often supporting critical customer applications. CloudMonkey is an invaluable tool for interacting with CloudStack-based clouds, and it's the go-to tool that we recommend to our customers when they want to use command-line interaction with our CloudStack platforms." --Robert van der Meulen, Product Strategy Lead, Leaseweb Global B.V.
:-D
I've got a draft at https://docs.google.com/document/d/14ER9WcNpHjsZBjHV0dL0J6InTDPfhFZmhHFnpr1XyV8/edit?usp=sharing
Is Andrija a member of the PMC? We can work around this, possibly.
Many thanks.

Re: [Review] CloudMonkey v6.0.0 release announcement

Hi Sally,
Yes, makes sense. Let's wait till Monday next week. I'll request the community again towards end of the week for quotes.

Rohit Yadav

Thank you, but we also need some diversity here, please.
The ASF is vendor-neutral and does not include multiple quotes from a single vendor. Right now we only have testimonials from folks employed by ShapeBlue.
How is it that we cannot find a single other user to participate?
@Rohit, I'd like us to consider holding off on announcing this until Monday. Let's give folks a chance to respond to the request.
Is there a reason to rush this out for tomorrow? It's not CloudStack itself, and it's been a few years since the last major release, so there *should* be a bit of wiggle room here.
Your thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Sally

Re: [Review] CloudMonkey v6.0.0 release announcement review request
Posted by Sally Khudairi <sk...@apache.org>.
Thank you, but we also need some diversity here, please.
The ASF is vendor-neutral and does not include multiple quotes from a single vendor. Right now we only have testimonials from folks employed by ShapeBlue.
How is it that we cannot find a single other user to participate?
@Rohit, I'd like us to consider holding off on announcing this until Monday. Let's give folks a chance to respond to the request.
Is there a reason to rush this out for tomorrow? It's not CloudStack itself, and it's been a few years since the last major release, so there *should* be a bit of wiggle room here.
Your thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Sally

Thanks, Giles. This is great.
Ideally we'll have a quote from at least one other user... :-D
I can ask someone from the CloudStack community if they can help. Not sure of their availability due to time zones, but I'll keep you posted.
Warm regards,
Sally

Hi Sally,
Thanks for reviews, please proceed with the changes you've advised.
While I've requested people already for their quotes, we don't have any so far. I've reached out to PMCs again today, so please include any quotes if they do arrive on this thread (on marketing@ ML).
I think let's lock on the date, 20th March 2019. After you can confirm the announcement, I'll send the email to various lists and put the same on cloudstack asf blog.

### START ###
<Date: 20 March 2019> - The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today Apache(r) CloudStack(r) CloudMonkey v6.0, the latest version of the turnkey enterprise Cloud orchestration platform's command line interface tool.
Apache CloudStack is the proven, highly scalable, and easy-to-deploy IaaS platform used for rapidly creating private, public, and hybrid Cloud environments. Thousands of large-scale public Cloud providers and enterprise organizations use Apache CloudStack to enable billions of dollars worth of business transactions annually across their clouds.
Apache CloudMonkey v6.0.0 is the latest major release since the previous major 5.x release in September 2013. CloudMonkey v6.0.0 is a rewrite of the original tool in Go programming language, and can be used both as an interactive shell and as a command line tool that simplifies CloudStack configuration and management.
Some of the new features and major changes include:
* Rewrite in Go, ships as single binary for Linux, Mac, and Windows
* Drop-in replacement for legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
* About 5-20x faster than legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
* Interactive UX for parameter and arg completion and selection
* JSON is the default output format
* New column based output
* Enable debug mode using set debug true option, file-based logging removed
* Per server profile based API cache
* New syntax arg=@/path/to/file to pass the content of file as API argument value similar to curl
* Improve help docs using -h argument
* Removed: XML output, coloured output, several set options
"This release is the work of over one year of effort and driven by the people operating CloudStack clouds," said Rohit Yadav, Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey v6.0 author, and release manager. "I would like to thank the contributors across all of these organizations for supporting this release, which reflects both the user-driven nature of our community and the Apache CloudStack project's commitment to continue to be the most stable, easily deployable, scalable Open Source platform for IaaS. Along with ease of installation, usage and availability of cross-platform dependency-free builds including Windows builds, v6.0 brings many changes and optimizations such as more interactive shell for parameter completion, faster API requests processing, server profile specific API caching, improved API help docs and a new syntax to pass content of files as API parameter argument." The background and story of v6.0 effort was recently blogged here: https://www.shapeblue.com/whats-coming-in-the-new-cloudmonkey-6-0/
<stick more quotes from community members, kindly share your comments!>

CloudMonkey v6.0.0 is a rewrite of the original tool in Go programming language, and can be used both as an interactive shell and as a command line tool that simplifies CloudStack configuration and management.
Some of the new features and major changes include:
* Rewrite in Go, ships as single binary for Linux, Mac, and Windows
* Drop-in replacement for legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
* About 5-20x faster than legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
* Interactive UX for parameter and arg completion and selection
* JSON is the default output format
* New column based output
* Enable debug mode using set debug true option, file-based logging removed
* Per server profile based API cache
* New syntax arg=@/path/to/file to pass the content of file as API argument value similar to curl
* Improve help docs using -h argument
* Removed: XML output, coloured output, several set options
"This release is the work of over one year of effort and driven by the people operating CloudStack clouds,” said Rohit Yadav, Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey v6.0 author, and release manager. "I would like to thank the contributors across all of these organizations for supporting this release, which reflects both the user-driven nature of our community and the Apache CloudStack project's commitment to continue to be the most stable, easily deployable, scalable Open Source platform for IaaS. Along with ease of installation, usage and availability of cross-platform dependency-free builds including Windows builds, v6.0 brings many changes and optimizations such as more interactive shell for parameter completion, faster API requests processing, server profile specific API caching, improved API help docs and a new syntax to pass content of files as API parameter argument."

Hi Sally,
Thanks for reviews, please proceed with the changes you've advised.
While I've requested people already for their quotes, we don't have any so far. I've reached out to PMCs again today, so please include any quotes if they do arrive on this thread (on marketing@ ML).
I think let's lock on the date, 20th March 2019. After you can confirm the announcement, I'll send the email to various lists and put the same on cloudstack asf blog.

Re: [Review] CloudMonkey v6.0.0 release announcement review request
Posted by Sally Khudairi <sk...@apache.org>.
Hello again, Rohit --following up on this:
- we need a headline and subhead; how about
*The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache® CloudMonkey® v6.0**
*
**Popular Open Source Command Line Interface Tool Simplifies Apache CloudStack Configuration and Management****
**
- we'll need to update the ASF boilerplate. I can do that on my end.
If we're aiming to announce on 20 March, we'll need to lock in the copy no later than 6PM ET (UTC -5) on Tuesday 19 March. Do you have additional testimonials to include?
Are there any outstanding issues that I can help with?
Kind thanks,
Sally
