Hi folks, If you are looking to get started helping to move CloudStack along towards our initial Apache release, but are still unfamiliar, I have a great project you can help with. Part of the ASF's legal guidelines [1] require that we have a very specific notice in the header of each source file, and remove any copyright notices from submitted code. RAT[2] has a function that will automatically do this, and I seem to recall seeing a perl script for this, but can no longer locate it. A good rule of thumb for this is that any file that currently has a copyright notice listing Citrix Systems, Cloud.com, or VMOps as the copyright holder is a target for this. Please do carefully check - I have found some files bearing a Citrix or Cloud.com copyright that also have another copyright holder listed - and this is almost always incorrect, for any case you find like that, please file a bug as it will need deeper inspection.
I'd like for any interested folks to volunteer here on the list and claim a directory in the source repo that they want to work on and then submit patches back to the mailing list. I'd like to have this done in a couple of weeks, with some frequent status updates. I know this is boring and mind numbing, but it's necessary for us to move forward. I'll start by claiming the UI directory. --David [1] http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#headers [2] http://incubator.apache.org/rat/apache-rat-core/index.html
