A note about Aeolus's direction
by Matt Wagner 14 May '13

14 May '13

Hello all, I wanted to send an update about the lack of recent activity here. Sadly, most of the core contributors have recently moved onto other endeavors. One of the truly great things about open source, though, is that this doesn't have to mean that this is where Aeolus ends. Those of us who have carried the torch thus far are moving on, but the project is still out there. The code is available, and I don't think that any of us intend to abandon the mailing list or IRC channels in the near future, so we'll likely be able to help others wanting to pick up where we left off. The Deltacloud project has just released a similar announcement -- the project isn't going away, but some of the regular contributors are moving on. Imagefactory and Oz are expected to continue as they exist today and not be impacted. Many other projects, however, will likely not see future releases from the existing set of contributors -- including Conductor, Audrey, Tim, aeolus-configure or dev-tools, and Winged Monkey. Best regards, Matt Wagner

New "Community Management" mailing list
by Justin Clift 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi everyone, As per recent thread on the aeolus-devel mailing list, we've created a new "Aeolus Community Management" mailing list. aeolus-comm-mgmt-request(a)lists.fedorahosted.org It's a place to debate, discuss, co-ordinate (etc) our Aeolus Community (development) and Management. No patches. :) If you're interested in Aeolus Community things, but have been put off in the past by the torrent of patches on aeolus-devel, this new mailing list is probably for you. Specific note -> this is a completely public mailing list, everyone is welcome. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Aeolus Cloud Evangelist http://www.aeolusproject.org

Our website now runs from GitHub Pages
by Justin Clift 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hi everyone, Good news. :) The www.aeolusproject.org website now runs completely out of GitHub Pages. (technically, www.aeolusproject.org is now a CNAME redirect to aeolusproject.github.com) This makes updating the website very quick and simple. Everything in the new GitHub repo is in Markdown (kramdown variety), with the website automatically regenerated on every new commit: https://github.com/aeolusproject/aeolusproject.github.com To change anything, just submit a pull request like a standard GitHub project now. :) Page regeneration happens within a few minutes of every merge. If anyone needs it, the repo for the old nanoc based website is now here: https://github.com/aeolusproject/aeolus-website-old Caveats ******* + The temporary redirects from www.aeolusproject.org/redmine to redmine.aeolusproject.org don't work any more. To link to the Redmine site from here on, you have to use the https://redmine.aeolusproject.org/redmine URL. Credits ******* Several people need thanking for their work on this: * Francesco Vollero for the idea to use GitHub Pages in the first place, then creating the initial concept website to show it works, plus getting the DNS changes done. * Matt Wagner for writing up the initial ToDo list plan, moving Redmine to it's own subdomain, and creating all of the apache rewrite rules. * Jason Guiditta for the GitHub repo admin-ing. * Myself for bulk converting the old website contents to Markdown. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Aeolus Community Manager http://www.aeolusproject.org

by Justin Clift 25 Apr '11

Hi all, We're re-organising the Aeolus package repositories, for this upcoming major release of Aeolus. So, things could be in a weird stage for the next few hours (or even a day) as things get moved around. Please don't get too stressed if yum throws any weird messages at you, it'll just mean we're knocking things into shape on our end. Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Aeolus Community Manager http://www.aeolusproject.org
