Re: [VOTE] List CloudStack related books on the website

[Rohit Yadav <bh...@apache.org>]

Hi, sorry for replying on this thread; I'm not on marketing list and I
suppose not everyone is, I think it's better to put someone in cc or do a
reply-all in case we want to include people we are replying or wish to
include them in some discussion, for example this thread and email was
missed by me:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cloudstack-marketing/201305.mbox/%3CCAPaJBx4GpnmutmqjWKg+y-563MS20zVYhnKcDrPatYhXEWNs_Q@mail.gmail.com%3E

Thoughts, flames?

Cheers.
