Hi David , As I mentioned in my previous mail , Vijay Venkatchalam and Deepak Garg are the authors for the backend code and me , Jessica and Sanjay have been responsible for the UI development for this feature. Vijay has sent out a mail to the cloudstack dev community regarding the " Autoscale" feature. I think you happened to miss the mails sent by Vijay and Deepak in this regard. And whatever code has been merged later on after the creation of the asf/autoscale branch has been sent through review requests on the dev ML.
Kindly have a look at the mails sent by Vijay and let me know whatever decisions I have to abide by . I will be more than happy to follow your advice.

For the time being, lets hold off on additional commits to this branch till we get some of the process and IP issues sorted. First, who are the authors for the code that's been committed to this branch, you mention 'a few guys in BLR', but who are they specifically? Second, as a group the project needs to decide if we want to include this feature, and if so, how we will handle inclusion. (There are a number of potential options here, the PPMC could send it through IP Clearance at the Incubator, or a Software Grant, or something more simple.) Don't be surprised if this involves deleting the branch or reverting the commits and handling submission in some other manner. --David
