http://forum.eucalyptus.com/forum/

again when you get the chance. We have all of the posts moved (I think) along with their original time stamps and we managed to preserve the user login information so that the registered users do not have to re-register. It took a couple nights’ worth of hacking but I think we are there now.

Cheers,

Thanks for your explanation. I guess that explains why I see less than a dozen posts at http://forum.eucalyptus.com/forum/ . Nothing on the old USCB site indicated the presence of any live mailing list or another forum or where the source repository existed. I guess we’ll give it another shot sometime soon.
Thanks for clarifying.
Best
-Tarun

The software has gone through several releases and the latest release, available both as an RC from us and through the Ubuntu distribution, is reported to work in a variety of environments.

However, there seems to be some confusion in Tarun’s post regarding the availability of community resources. The original Eucalyptus web site was hosted at UCSB. Yesterday evening, we moved the site off the University infrastructure and into a better software framework — better particularly with respect to management of the discussion board. There were almost 2000 posts covering 460 topics and we have been working to incorporate them into the new infrastructure today. To avoid race conditions we temporarily disabled the email list and discussion board while the transfer is taking place. We announced the outage via the mailing list and the original discussion board yesterday morning and we’ll send mail to the mailing list and post something on the new discussion board when the posts have all been moved over to the new system.

As for SVN — we actually use bzr and launchpad. https://launchpad.net/eucalyptus There we make the most-up-to-date snapshot of the source available.

Cheers,

Rich

There is no SVN access to their development version since the bug was supposed to have been fixed there. There is no active community around the software, no mailing lists and empty forums where you can hear your own echo. Hopefully the VCs did their due diligence well about the 14K or so corporate users we are talking about here. Best of luck to the eucalyptus team however, hopefully they’ll run it like a true open source project and open up a bit more now that the funding is in place.
