Gentle ping here.

I would like to emphasise what Rohit said -  "most users won't build
website and blogs from source code" - we need to find a suitable (yet
manageable) solution for the websites, while still complying with Apache
policies.

Thanks,

Re: CloudStack Collaboration Conference

2021-05-24 Thread Andrija Panic

Sven,

Let's please not go into discussion about access management - you/me and
many others have requested access to i.e. Slack workspace and it has a
separate access management system, obviously. QA server is not in control
of all PMC members, but just a handful of, so is the same for
download.cloudstack.com, Slack channel, IRC in past, etc. Enough PMC
members should have full access, while community members, like Ivet or
Sunando or other non-PMC members should have non-admin, but enough
privileges to contribute and update a website (i.e. the same is true for
the new ACS youtube channel I created - I've shared access with few
different people  in the community, people from different companies, but
allowed i.e. Ivet to manage it).

Ivet, Sunando and all of us are equal part of community, besides some of us
being PMCs. Ivet is community. Sunando is community. So are you and me.

Current www system is an outrageously complicated - I dare you going and
making an update yourself - please let me know how many hours (instead of
minutes) you have spent, I'm really curious...

Talking about community... did you recently review any existing
documentation about i.e. XenServer preparation for ACS, or VMware? It's
insanely outdated... "community" doesn't care, or have time...

Let's have us, PMC members, not block other people who are willing to
contribute to web site / marketing - we, as a community, have certainly
"sucked" at doing this part of work properly...

I'm no WordPress guru, nor I endorse it for any reason, but there is a fact
that it works, especially for small volume sites like www or CCC. The same
that has been done by Wido providing QA server, can be done for WordPress.

I hope what I said makes sense, it's for the benefit of the project, not
your or mine company.

Regards,
Andrija

Re: CloudStack Collaboration Conference

2021-05-23 Thread Andrija Panic

Being in a need to update ACS websites in past, it was absolutely
frustrating to get things done at all - that is my humble experience.

I do understand WordPress needs some maintenance - so we need to sort it
out, if we want to move to it.
And, for the record, I do support the idea of WordPress, as technical guys
(me included) can/want to barely write a complete documentation or even
keep the ACS docs updated, leave alone the marketing pages - technical guys
like working on a code, not updating documentation or marketing pages -
that is a fact nobody can deny, and since this is community project we cant
"force" people do it, although we desperately need it, otherwise things get
outdated and incomplete/obsolete.

This is where Ivet and alike should jump in, if they are ready to provide
some support for it over the longer period of time (I'm talking about
WordPress for eithet/or/both CCC and the main www site) - and both CCC,
blog and WWW website are so infrequently updated

my 2 cents.

Best,

Ivet,

I will be harsh probably if I say that nobody reads that blog page anyways,
so your effort is in vain, atm. Up to you. Every new ACS release asks for
updating the same blog page, and that is complete pain in the neck, almost
a suicide action.

Let's better push forward the ACS website/blog to a
manageable-by-normal-people CMS platform.

Just muy 2 cents.

+1, but..

If that would be that easily doable, we should surely migrate ages ago -
there are certain limits from the ASF itself, I don't know all the details

make's you want to avoid it... but, there you go... it's always good to try
to move forward.

Yeah, need to do that, and possibly on the blog page as well - on my to do
list. What I shared here is just the email announcements that we share for
each release.

Thanks,
Andrija

[ANNOUNCE] / [ANNOUNCEMENT] New CloudStack YouTube channel

2019-11-08 Thread Andrija Panic

Hi all,

as some of you are aware, we have lost access to the original YT channel
for CloudStack (https://www.youtube.com/user/cloudstack).

Thus I have registered a new account (of type "Brand" account) on YT, which
have the possibility to have external "channel managers" assigned to it so
that many people can contribute without ever having the actual login data
for the account***

Please note that:
- I'll be sharing the actual login credentials with a handful of
community people/organisation so that login data is distributed enough (in
case some of us get hit by a train), but not with too many people (for
obvious reasons)
- I'll be updating the Marketing page on the CWIKI with info about this
channel and how to contribute
- **EVERYONE** is welcome to request to become a "Channel manager" so that
you can contribute/upload to the channel  (I need to send an invitation -
so please ping me on email)
- Videos from the old channel, have been uploaded to the new one as well
(with some logos and improvements done by Clara Herthel)
- A new set of videos from the recent CloudStack and Ceph day in London
(held on 24.10.2019) is also available on the new YT channel. We have great
artwork done by Clara on intros and similar, so hopefully, you'll find
those interesting.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
- PLEASE can you all help that we get the initial 100 subscribers, since
this is a requirement from YouTube, in order to be able to change the
account URL from an ugly one that is used currently (
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwRLeAHTIaONANmGPOWZN_w) to a
proper/branded one like https://youtube.com/apachecloudstack (account also
needs to be 30 days old, etc.).
So please, send this chunky link to your friends, parents, grandparents,
grandchildren, distance cousins, etc (you get the point) and get them
subscribed.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns or propositions regarding
the new YT channel, distribution of login data - anything.

Best,

How is it that we cannot find a single other user to participate?

@Rohit, I'd like us to consider holding off on announcing this until Monday. 
Let's give folks a chance to respond to the request.

Is there a reason to rush this out for tomorrow? It's not CloudStack itself, 
and it's been a few years since the last major release, so there *should* be a 
bit of wiggle room here.

Your thoughts on this?

Thanks, Giles. This is great.

Ideally we'll have a quote from at least one other user... :-D

I can ask someone from the CloudStack community if they can help. Not sure of 
their availability due to time zones, but I'll keep you posted.

Warm regards,
Sally
