ACS PMC, The IP clearance is tracked at https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/5159 and we have been in the position since last week to start the vote on incubator@. I've asked a few times but haven't heard from our volunteer ASF member Paul Angus. As my last attempt to Paul - are you able to (1) check the XML doc (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/ip-clearance/cloudstack-terraform.xml), (2) post a message to general@incubator asking for clearance to be checked (72hrs window), (3) post a result thread and let project know code is cleared for import? ... as per https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html#process
In the meanwhile I ask ASC PMC chair Gabriel to prepare to volunteer or help find an appropriate volunteer and do (1)-(3) starting Monday/next week. Tagging Sebastien too who has been IP clearance officer for a couple of donations under the ACS project - who may volunteer or advise us. I'm happy to volunteer but I'm neither an officer nor a member of the ASF; but I may have incubator karma (http://people.apache.org/~rohit) if that means ability to commit the IP clearance xml doc to incubator SVN. I've committed and updated the IP clearance XML today https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/ip-clearance/cloudstack-terraform.xml which must be checked by whoever starts the vote on general@incubator. Thanks and regards.
