Fw: Fwd: [New post] CloudStack Graduates to an Apache Top Level Project
Really?!
This announcement is _under embargo_ until Monday. Yet I just received this from one of our "friendlies" :-(
How did this leak happen? I'm really not happy about this.

Remember - this is all on a public list. You can't embargo something
that's public.

Ben was on our list of press, IIRC. Next time we can be clearer that
we'd really appreciate a hold until the official announcement.

That’s really disappointing
Has Ben been explicitly given the release under embargo, or has somebody leaked it to him ?
I hear Davids point that we can only ask, but I would be disappointed if somebody on this list had chosen to distribute, when it was very clear that would not be a good thing

Well, it was discussed on a public list (this one) so it's not really
embargo-able.
> How did this leak happen? I'm really not happy about this.
We should have been a little clearer that we'd have appreciated a hold
until Monday, but I don't think this is the end of the world. Let's just
make sure we have all our outreach done today. I'm sure all other press
folks who cover open source understand the nature of covering events
that are transparent to all.
Best,

Of course. I wouldn't have it any other way, either. :-) We had really
good input from Giles and other folks that aren't on the PMC.

Yep. Such is open source. Oh well - it was a friendly story, and we can
keep plugging away. I'm sure having Chip and other community folks'
input for other stories is still worth coverage.

This confuses me:
Ben Kepes says:
March 22, 2013 at 11:14 am
There’s no embargo on this – it’s an open announcement…
>From the comments on that blog.
He references an "announcement" in the body of the post too. Is he
genuinely under the impression that there has been an announcement? Is this
a failing on our part to communicate status? Perhaps worth reaching out to
him?

Yes, and honestly we want to do all of this in the open. There are too
many contributors (Giles FTW!) that help on this front for us to limit
to the PMC. That might be a bit different from your normal process, but
I hope that will be OK as the working approach for us. More open = more
goodness as far as I'm concerned.
I think we just need to be more clear in the actual contact emails that
this is obviously a public / open environment, but that we would
appreciate their timing the articles to coincide with our actual
announcements. And if they don't oblige us in that respect, then
they'll just have to subscribe to this list... we hold off on early
contact with that individual the next time.
Let's just let this one sit *as is* for now.
Hopefully, Sally, this doesn't cause you any ill-will with any of your
contacts.

Wait a minute. The CloudStack marketing lists are public?
This is why we traditionally only work with the IPMCs on news items.
Hey ho. Cat's out of the bag.

Since anyone can subscribe to Apache mailing lists, how do you normally
keep news from flowing out prematurely? I was scratching my head on that
one.

Also importantly, the "foundation" did not do as he states here:
"The key thing here though is just how wise the developer community to
CloudStack is. The foundation reports that as of today the initiative
boasts some 440 developers and, in the most important metric of all,
only 32% of those developers are from Citrix."
We were still formulating a response to his question on that topic.
