This is by no means exhaustive, if you need to be up-to-date on all development issues in the project, you'll definitely want to be subscribed to the mailing lists!</p><h5><a name="ApacheCloudStackWeeklyNews-11March2013-VOTE%3AGraduateApacheCloudStackfromtheIncubator"></a>VOTE: Graduate Apache CloudStack from the Incubator</h5><p>Chip Childers <a href="http://markmail.org/message/3qh2dvzvdzk5vxka" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">has started the vote</a> on whether to graduate Apache CloudStack from the Incubator. The vote lasts 72 hours (vote started Monday morning). If successful, the IPMC will need to vote on the resolution and recommend graduation to the Apache Board of Directors. </p><h5><a name="ApacheCloudStackWeeklyNews-11March2013-PPMCWillRecommendChipChildersasChair"></a>PPMC Will Recommend Chip Childers as Chair</h5><p>In conjunction with the graduation discussion, the CloudStack PPMC has <a href="http://markmail.org/message/hv72l22kk4dms7aj" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">reached consensus</a> on recommending Chip Childers as chair, once the project graduates.

Says Prasanna, "if the build is broken and the executor on builds.a.o has not yet queued the job be prepared to be ambushed by Cato_Fong!"</p><h5><a name="ApacheCloudStackWeeklyNews-11March2013-SyslogEnhancements"></a>Syslog Enhancements</h5><p>Anshul Gangwar has <a href="http://markmail.org/message/iojeclbpkssbbprk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">revived</a> a discussion from December about using log4j to send syslog messages.

Marcus says, "This patch disk has been bugging me for awhile, as it creates a volume<br>that isn't really tracked anywhere or known about in cloudstack's database. Up until recently these would just litter the KVM primary<br>storages, but there's been some triage done to attempt to clean them up when the system vms go away. It's not perfect. It also can be<br>inefficient for certain primary storage types, for example if you end up creating a bunch of 10MB luns on a SAN for these."</p><p>Later in the discussion, Edison Su responded to Marcus' approach to handling the issue. <a href="http://markmail.org/message/2ee2z7vfo6hoq45p" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">Edison says</a> "we put a lot of logic into init scripts inside system VM, which has unnecessarily complicated the system VM programming." Ultimately, Edison suggest that we may need "to start working on a new system VM programming model now? Better to just put a Python daemon inside system VM, and provide restful API through link local IP address(or private IP if it's vmware), then mgt server or hypervisor agent code can just send commands to the Python daemon through HTTP, instead of SSH."</p><h5><a name="ApacheCloudStackWeeklyNews-11March2013-BuildVerificationTest%28BVT%29forCloudStackCheckins"></a>Build Verification Test (BVT) for CloudStack Checkins</h5><p>Alex Huang <a href="http://markmail.org/message/kvtkfjaswopqkd7m" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">proposed</a> building a BVT system to "ensure that checkins do not break the <a class="createlink" href="/confluence/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=CLOUDSTACK&title=master&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=30756122">master</a> branch." </p><p>After a fair amount of discussion, Chip Childers <a href="http://markmail.org/message/2tavrqatlyyrwmp6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">responded, saying that the first step to getting Gerrit</a> is "for us to agree to using it and to be able to clearly articulate <b>why</b>. Without being able to explain our issue, we'll be questioned about jumping to a tool-based solution by the infra team."</p><p>The entire discussion is worth a read for anyone involved in day-to-day CloudStack development. (Indeed, one hopes that <b>all</b> developers have paid close attention to this thread, not only the handful of active voices who have jumped into the discussion.)</p><h5><a name="ApacheCloudStackWeeklyNews-11March2013-ProposaltoRefactorApplianceBuildingCodeUndertools%2Fappliance"></a>Proposal to Refactor Appliance Building Code Under tools/appliance</h5><p>Rohit Yadav has proposed to "<a href="http://markmail.org/message/lmvbmqvuiriyfgij" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">fix/refactor devcloud appliance building scripts</a> from tools/devcloud/sr to tools/appliance" and "to create a new devcloud that has all the build tools, IDE and possibly a lightweight desktop environment or tiling window manager."</p><h5><a name="ApacheCloudStackWeeklyNews-11March2013-IncrementalBuild"></a>Incremental Build</h5><p>Edison points out that <a href="http://markmail.org/message/a2b4tfrts3yyhary" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">Maven 3 doesn't support incremental builds</a>, "so it takes a long time (4-7 minutes) to make a build" even with small changes in the source code. Animesh Chaturvedi <a href="http://markmail.org/message/plpuxmxocgoupqak" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">points out a tool that might help</a> add incremental build support to Maven, but there was no enthusiasm for changing tools away from Maven after the effort that went into switching from Ant.</p><h5><a name="ApacheCloudStackWeeklyNews-11March2013-Marketing%3AWebsiteDiscussions"></a>Marketing: Website Discussions</h5><p>There's been a fair amount of discussion this week about improving the Apache CloudStack Web site. Sebastien Goasguen <a href="http://markmail.org/message/rzaqvo247sskdf5t" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">started the discussion</a> on March 5th, pointing to a site that he found "simple, yet modern."
