Thank you, Steve!
Giles is scheduled for a briefing with Forrester this week. We'll be sure to mention this with respect to product maturity, deployment, and community breadth.
Warm regards,

Steve - Good post on CCP.
Karen - why should we be promoting any closed source fork on CloudStack's twitter account? As long as a fork is closed source and we don't have the four freedoms to run it like we wish, study the code, modify, and redistribute -- we should not care. If the blog could be modified to promote the Apache CloudStack project then it would be alright to share it on the official social media accounts.

I think its ok actually, as long as the same promotion opportunities are afforded to all the commercial suppliers, vendors and users of the CloudStack platform and/or commercially sourced/supported derivatives thereof.

I was on the road and asked Karen to do create some tweets especially since this blog was partially in response to lat months's thread about Citrix not supporting CloudStack. I thought we promoted any success based on CloudStack whether it's a proprietary fork, storage solution or other tool. I'd be lying if I didn't have an opinion but would be curious to see how many people agree with Rohit. If there's a majority opinion I'd support whatever the group wants. It seems the phrase "Damned if we do, Damned if we don't" applies.

Rohit, we use apache license which explicitly allows for closed source
derivatives. Why should we not be proud to spread the word if such
forks happen? The sticker is reason enough, i'd say.

Disclaimer - Opinions my own -- I do not represent NetApp.
It looks like we are picking on one marketing piece rather than looking at the big picture.
Yes -- the piece could have served the community better with references to the dev team and such.
The community membership can help make that tie in happen when we promote it.
I can see the community leadership position about promoting commercial interests.
Those of us not in that position can be much more free and less constrained.
Make no mistake -- the big picture is offering the world a viable community alternative to "pay to play" OpenStack.
Commercial credibility comes from the logos and support of the companies that deploy and bet their business on the SW.
Is splitting the hairs around the Citrix commercialization of SW distribution & support really in conflict with the mission of the CloudStack community & the Apache Way?

It’s a corporate blog and Steve would probably edit it to appease this group but I’d never in my wildest dreams ask any other supporter of the project to edit their blogs to our editorial guidelines.

Hi Sally,
Thank you for sharing and providing examples of what was tweeted as part of the @TheASF's "Did You Know?" campaign. That's a great example of how community members can help showcase the capabilities/successes of Apache CloudStack. This is very helpful!
Thanks,
Karen

Subject: Re: Latest Blog Post
Hello, everyone --I wanted to step in and clarify some items.
Daan wanted to know the opinion of ASF Marketing & Publicity; below is my position as its Vice President.
1) the ASF is vendor-neutral. This means that all Apache projects are so as well.
2) showcasing successful implementations, deployments, and use cases is important in demonstrating project diversity, particularly in terms of "who uses you?".
3) sharing software vendor/service provider/user progress is A Very Good Thing, and is important in demonstrating project robustness, particularly in terms of "how are people using you?". If doing so includes items such as Ikoula sharing news of their recent award, Shapeblue's latest consulting offering, or Citrix's new product development, there should be no reason that can't be freely shared amongst our community, preferably on this list. In preparation of Giles' briefing with Forrester tomorrow I was able to list more than a hundred organizations that are using CloudStack --how/where else would we be able to learn about this?
4) some ways that Apache CloudStack can showcase capabilities/successes whilst maintaining vendor neutrality can be through tweeting success stories. Examples of what we've tweeted as part of the @TheASF's "Did You Know?" campaign include:
- Did you know that Apache #Tika + #OODT power #NASA's just-launched #SMAP instrument ground data processing system?
- Did you know that Facebook recently completed a 30 petabyte migration using #Apache #Hadoop and #Hive?
- Did you know that #Apache #Hadoop, #MapReduce, #Mahout, and #Pig form the anti-spam analytic platform for Yahoo!Mail?
- Did you know that @Apache_OODT is an integral part of the data infrastructure for @SKA_telescope, the world's largest radio telescope?
- Did you know that @CommonCrawl use #Apache #Nutch to crawl billions of Web pages in a Cloud environment? - Did you know that you can now run @googlechrome apps across #mobile platforms using #Apache #Cordova?
- Did you know that #Apache #Tomcat powers 15 TB of data daily for Aftonbladet.se, the largest website in Sweden?
- Did you know that #Apache #OpenOffice provides $21M in value per day?
- Did you know that #Apache #OODT helps power @MarsCuriosity downstream data archiving for #NASA Planetary Data System?
- Did you know that with #Apache PDFBox you can create, manipulate, and extract content from PDF documents?
... and so on. There are many great stories to tell with Apache CloudStack! Let's celebrate that.
5) CloudStack isn't the first project to come to the ASF with an already-established user base. We've had dozens of projects originating from a particular organization, and there are often growing pains as the project settles in.
I'm confident you'll agree we have a talented, passionate, diverse community that stands firmly behind an exceptional, robust, proven product.
Yes, the request to promote a vendor's product on Twitter was in error.
Let's remember that we will need these success stories as well as access to those working tirelessly behind scenes to help bolster the CloudStack community through MeetUps, Collaboration Conference, and other outreach/education events.
I know we all want to do the right thing. Let's acknowledge this as a lesson learned and move on. There are so many bigger things ahead for us. Go Apache!
If there are any confidential items that need addressing, please forward to the CloudStack press list, or to me at the ASF Marketing & Publicity <pr...@apache.org>.
Thanks,
Sally

Honestly, whether the official CloudStack twitter account posts this isn¹t
the point. That¹s preaching to the choir anyway.
I¹m doing my best right now to show that Citrix supports Cloudstack ‹ and
I did put ³Apache CloudStack" in the first sentence of the blog! I will
say the overall tone with respect sniping at people trying to support the

Hello, everyone --I wanted to step in and clarify some items.
Daan wanted to know the opinion of ASF Marketing & Publicity; below is my position as its Vice President.
1) the ASF is vendor-neutral. This means that all Apache projects are so as well.
2) showcasing successful implementations, deployments, and use cases is important in demonstrating project diversity, particularly in terms of "who uses you?".
3) sharing software vendor/service provider/user progress is A Very Good Thing, and is important in demonstrating project robustness, particularly in terms of "how are people using you?". If doing so includes items such as Ikoula sharing news of their recent award, Shapeblue's latest consulting offering, or Citrix's new product development, there should be no reason that can't be freely shared amongst our community, preferably on this list. In preparation of Giles' briefing with Forrester tomorrow I was able to list more than a hundred organizations that are using CloudStack --how/where else would we be able to learn about this?
4) some ways that Apache CloudStack can showcase capabilities/successes whilst maintaining vendor neutrality can be through tweeting success stories. Examples of what we've tweeted as part of the @TheASF's "Did You Know?" campaign include:
- Did you know that Apache #Tika + #OODT power #NASA's just-launched #SMAP instrument ground data processing system?
- Did you know that Facebook recently completed a 30 petabyte migration using #Apache #Hadoop and #Hive?
- Did you know that #Apache #Hadoop, #MapReduce, #Mahout, and #Pig form the anti-spam analytic platform for Yahoo!Mail?
- Did you know that @Apache_OODT is an integral part of the data infrastructure for @SKA_telescope, the world's largest radio telescope?
- Did you know that @CommonCrawl use #Apache #Nutch to crawl billions of Web pages in a Cloud environment? - Did you know that you can now run @googlechrome apps across #mobile platforms using #Apache #Cordova?

- Did you know that with #Apache PDFBox you can create, manipulate, and extract content from PDF documents?
... and so on. There are many great stories to tell with Apache CloudStack! Let's celebrate that.
5) CloudStack isn't the first project to come to the ASF with an already-established user base. We've had dozens of projects originating from a particular organization, and there are often growing pains as the project settles in.
I'm confident you'll agree we have a talented, passionate, diverse community that stands firmly behind an exceptional, robust, proven product.
Yes, the request to promote a vendor's product on Twitter was in error.
Let's remember that we will need these success stories as well as access to those working tirelessly behind scenes to help bolster the CloudStack community through MeetUps, Collaboration Conference, and other outreach/education events.
I know we all want to do the right thing. Let's acknowledge this as a lesson learned and move on. There are so many bigger things ahead for us. Go Apache!
If there are any confidential items that need addressing, please forward to the CloudStack press list, or to me at the ASF Marketing & Publicity <pr...@apache.org>.

I thought we promoted any success based on CloudStack whether it’s a proprietary fork, storage solution or other tool.

The blog talks about CCP and does not talk anything about ACS - the project or its community. The blog still has a “powered by Apache CloudStack” sticker but should we promoting anything with such stickers? I would be happy if it still could be edited to add a link to the project and add a line or two like all past successes (proprietary forks or tools or solutions) have done.

Karen - why should we be promoting any closed source fork on CloudStack’s twitter account? As long as a fork is closed source and we don’t have the four freedoms to run it like we wish, study the code, modify, and redistribute -- we should not care. If the blog could be modified to promote the Apache CloudStack project then it would be alright to share it on the official social media accounts.

RE: Latest Blog Post
Posted by Giles Sirett <gi...@shapeblue.com>.
It is a good article and thanks to Steve for writing and Karen to *trying* to promote. Sunando is right – its great to see any cloudstack related coverage and I agree that this can only help the overall awareness.
However, it is an article about CCP, not about Apache Cloudstack. I have no criticism of that, its great to see, and an interesting read.
From a practicality viewpoint:
I think the problem with promoting this from the project is it could actually lead to confusion. (we all know many in the media still refer to this as Citrix Cloudstack) . If the official Cloudstack feeds suddenly start tweeting about specific vendors tech or services, that’s ripe for confusion
From a governance perspective:
The project should not be promoting 3rd party product marketing in this way.
With a marketers hat on, that’s frustrating, but I wouldn’t ask an Apache project to promote my business through official channels
On Marks comment “dammed if we do, dammed if we don’t” : Mark I don’t think anybody’s criticising anybody else for ramping up the marketing efforts. The previous threads were about the uncertainty of Citrxs involvement in Cloudstack, and this type of activity certainly helps dispel some of that. I think this is a specific issue about asking a “group of volunteers” to start promoting a piece of vendor marketing. To that extent, I think this discussion thread would have started at any point in time if Karen made the same request (i.e. I think we need to separate these two subjects. This is a specific issue been raised about this one request – not about the bigger picture)
But lets not fight over this: I’m happy to tweet about this article, (and think I already have ) - I’m sure many others here will also be happy to do so (and some may not)
Kind Regards
Giles

Subject: Re: Latest Blog Post
I think promoting this blog actually helps our overall cause.
Over the last few months, we have always felt that one of the major reasons of cloudstack being a laggard (adoption-wise) is the general perception in the market that Citrix is slowly pulling out its support from the project. Hence articles like these go a long way in changing those perceptions.
Moreover, one of the big reasons for the widespread interest in Openstack is the number of vendors offering commercial forks/support on it. Hence if any other vendor comes out with the same for cloudstack, we should happily promote.
However, I also agree with Abhi that any post by Citrix should also have a few lines that talk about the Cloudstack project/ community in general.
