Hi Sally,


Thanks for reviews, please proceed with the changes you've advised.

While I've requested people already for their quotes, we don't have any so far. 
I've reached out to PMCs again today, so please include any quotes if they do 
arrive on this thread (on marketing@ ML).


I think let's lock on the date, 20th March 2019. After you can confirm the 
announcement, I'll send the email to various lists and put the same on 
cloudstack asf blog.


Regards,

Rohit Yadav

Hello again, Rohit --following up on this:

If we're aiming to announce on 20 March, we'll need to lock in the copy no

Are there any outstanding issues that I can help with?

Kind thanks,

Kindly review the release announcement for CloudMonkey v6.0.0, and also share 
your quotes/comments that we can use in the release wrt cloudmonkey v6.0:


### START ###



 — The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer 
developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source projects and 
initiatives, announced today Apache® CloudStack® CloudMonkey v6.0, the latest 
version of the turnkey enterprise Cloud orchestration platform's command line 
interface tool.

Apache CloudStack is the proven, highly scalable, and easy-to-deploy IaaS 
platform used for rapidly creating private, public, and hybrid Cloud 
environments. Thousands of large-scale public Cloud providers and enterprise 
organizations use Apache CloudStack to enable billions of dollars worth of 
business transactions annually across their clouds.
Apache CloudMonkey v6.0.0 is the latest major release since the previous major 
5.x release in September 2013.  CloudMonkey v6.0.0 is a rewrite of the original 
tool in Go programming language, and can be used both as an interactive shell 
and as a command line tool that simplifies CloudStack configuration and 
management.

Some of the new features and major changes include:


  *   Rewrite in Go, ships as single binary for Linux, Mac, and Windows
  *   Drop-in replacement for legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
  *   About 5-20x faster than legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
  *   Interactive UX for parameter and arg completion and selection
  *   JSON is the default output format
  *   New column based output
  *   Enable debug mode using set debug true option, file-based logging removed
  *   Per server profile based API cache
  *   New syntax arg=@/path/to/file to pass the content of file as API argument 
value similar to curl
  *   Improve help docs using -h argument
  *   Removed: XML output, coloured output, several set options

"This release is the work of over one year of effort and driven by the people 
operating CloudStack clouds,” said Rohit Yadav, Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 
v6.0 author, and release manager. "I would like to thank the contributors 
across all of these organizations for supporting this release, which reflects 
both the user-driven nature of our community and the Apache CloudStack 
project's commitment to continue to be the most stable, easily deployable, 
scalable Open Source platform for IaaS. Along with ease of installation, usage 
and availability of cross-platform dependency-free builds including Windows 
builds, v6.0 brings many changes and optimizations such as more interactive 
shell for parameter completion, faster API requests processing, server profile 
specific API caching, improved API help docs and a new syntax to pass content 
of files as API parameter argument." The background and story of v6.0 effort 
was recently blogged here: 
https://www.shapeblue.com/whats-coming-in-the-new-cloudmonkey-6-0/

The official source code for CloudMonkey v6.0.0 can be downloaded from
