Open Source License Change - April 2

When ManageIQ was open-sourced in June 2014, the project was carrying some bits that made it necessary to dual-license as GPL and Apache License. The intention was always to be single-licensed under the Apache license.

Let's translate ManageIQ together!

As we’re approaching the Darga release, we are adding translations for ManageIQ UI, and we need you to be part of the community translation effort!

ManageIQ.org Improved and Refreshed - take a look!

When ManageIQ was open sourced two years ago, the manageiq.org website was launched to support the project and its community. Many enhancements have been added over time to serve the needs of ManageIQ users and developers. However, as our community grows, some of the information on the site have become outdated or inadequate. We’ve also heard numerous requests and suggestions from you during this year’s events such as ManageIQ Design Summit and Red Hat Summit, and it’s evident that the website needed an overhaul.

Last Week in ManageIQ: Provider generator, pglogical upgrades, and Chen primes!

Chris here, welcoming you to another edition of Last Week in ManageIQ! It’s a balmy 0° here in Minnesota, USA - that’s about -18° Celsius, according to local authorities. With the wind chill making it -20° (-29°C), I’m thinking a look back at all the great work done on ManageIQ for the past week is just what we need to keep warm on this fine winter day!

Last Week in ManageIQ: Armor like Tenfold Regions Hashes

Two improved pull requests for Elven-kings under the sky,
Three fixed for Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Two new for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One deleted for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of ManageIQ where the heisenbugs lie.
One blog post to rule them all, One blog post to find them,
One blog post to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the land of ManageIQ where the heisenbugs lie.
