Has the policy stated in Eucalyptus FAQ changed? Right now it states: Q: Can I help develop Eucalyptus? A: For the moment, we are restricting external development contributions for Eucalyptus internals to bug fixes. It is just too complicated to try and keep the code base stable with external developers when we are in this early phase of development. But we will gladly accept patches that fix bugs. [...] Maybe Ubuntu people never do any development on the packages they ship, but I am not comfortable with an upstream like that. Of course, I am not even likely to maintain the package either, and some other maintainer might be. Still, I'm curious what are the perspectives of the open development for Eucalyptus. -- Pete
