No, lets go there. There has not been any backdoor collusion between Cloudkick and IBM. I am very very tired of your continued allusions to this. All that has ever happened, is some people from IBM asked Alex Polvi if a libcloud port to java was possible -- Alex did the right thing and said its possible, be active in the community, talk about it, and submit patches. There is no secret Cloudkick + IBM Cabal trying to take over the Java world with our impressive Apache libcloud project. There is no secret room at Cloudkick or IBM where we wrote all the code, or where we decided to do anything. Nothing. > If you guys want to allow IBM to skip the incubator process, and hand them > the keys.. just do it. At least that would be transparent. This has absolutely nothing to do with Incubation. Its about developing a project and in a potentially new direction, no one is getting 'free' commit rights to anything. Projects do change direction, they expand, they do more than their original authors ever thought, there is nothing wrong with this in the incubator, nor in a graduated Apache TLP. -Paul
