Thanks, Joe. April is fine; I was going by the "Incubation status reports" at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/cloudstack.html :
> May 2012 > > Overview: > > Cloudstack just entered the incubator a couple of weeks ago. ...as I don't know when exactly "a couple of weeks ago", and our Board meetings usually take place the second or third week of the month, I presumed we're still talking about May. The April Board minutes[1] state that it's not in yet, and the May Board minutes[2] state that the project is "still getting started". Whatever is factually correct works for me.
