Hi Fabian,
Thanks for replying. Yes, I've reached out to the chair and others and also also introduced ourselves at the #RDO meeting yesterday.
I've created a CentOS account and applied for the sig-cloud group as advised [1] on the meeting. My account id is 'rohit' with the email 'rohit@yadav.cloud'.
As next steps, we'll wait to be advised and hear about the Cloud SIG effort being resumed.

Regards.

Hi all, (/cc cloudstack-dev)
I'm Rohit Yadav, committer/pmc from the Apache CloudStack [1] community. Apache CloudStack is an IaaS cloud computing platform.
I've been maintaining and publishing the CloudStack noredist repos [3][4] for few years now, and I would like to get them published to the official CentOS (and other distros) repositories.
I met Rich during Fosdem yesterday and he suggested to reach out to the cloud-sig/list [2] to discuss how we can get CloudStack rpms into CentOS. I understand in the past we were not very successful at that, but I want to make a second attempt especially since we've introduced the concept of LTS releases in CloudStack.
I'm not sure if the devel list is the right place or if an explicit cloud-sig list exists [2], so please advise --
- Where may I start?
- What is the packaging/release process and how can one help become a
package maintainer?
- Advise on legal stuff around publishing of rpms (the noredist
repositories bundle non-oss jar dependencies such as those from Vmware vim sdk etc)?
- How can the packages also be available for Fedora, may RHEL and
derivatives?
Thoughts, comments? Thanks.
Regards.

Hi,
That's good news, so to answer all your questions, the best would probably be to follow the SIGGuide (https://wiki.centos.org/SIGGuide) and then sync up with the SIG Chair (Rich, but it seems you already discussed with him)
Welcome !
