The Alpha release contains all the exciting features of Fedora 21?s products in a form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs are fixed, we make a Beta release available. A Beta release is code-complete and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and final release. The final release of Fedora 21 is expected in December.

The community is busy working on 4.2.0, and there's much to be done before the release is ready. This week, we're taking a look at some of the interesting discussions going on in the the community about the next generation of Apache CloudStack, and functionality we can provide, as well as procedural changes that everyone should be aware of.

It's been another busy week for the Apache CloudStack project. This week we welcome another new committer, work continues on 4.1.1 and 4.2.0, and we have some interesting discussions on how we should release the CloudMonkey and Marvin tools used with CloudStack. We've also seen a few interesting marketing discussions, and the community is gearing up for the second CloudStack Collaboration Conference taking place 23 June through 25 June in Santa Clara, CA.

We’re pleased to announce that the Call for Proposals (CfP) for the second CloudStack Collaboration Conference is now open!

We’re looking for presentations that provide insight into best practices in deploying and developing Apache CloudStack. </p>

There’s a great meme going around about geeks and repetitive tasks. Because geeks will often get annoyed at the effort of doing something manually, they often decide to find a way to automate it – which usually involves a lot more effort than doing it the one time but “geeks win, eventually” because they save time in the long run. But in the long run we’re all dead. Then what? Who knows how to run your script? What happens when it needs to be maintained? As Jon Udell points out, it’s really not a contest, it’s a process, and non-geeks can play too. Which is why you should also write it down if you’re going to do it more than two times.

A lot has happened since the last issue of the CloudStack Weekly News, and not just because the community's been busy -- we missed getting last week's issue out. Sorry about that! If you'd like to see consistent weekly delivery, check the end of the newsletter to see how you can help.

The Apache CloudStack community has been heads-down for the last week working out the remaining bugs for the 4.1.0 release. Chatter on the dev@ mailing list has been a little muted, comparatively, but there's still plenty of interest in this week's roundup of major discussions and CloudStack community activity. This week, we look at the outstanding issues for 4.1.0, a discussion about allowing multiple API names for the same API Cmd object, how to deal with tests that expect no database, and how ticket assignment should work.

Welcome to the April 1 issue of the Apache CloudStack Weekly News. Don't worry, no foolishness in this issue – just a quick recap of the week's most important events. As you recall, we officially announced that the CloudStack project was graduating from the incubator last week.
