## Description:
VCL is a modular cloud computing platform which dynamically provisions and
brokers remote access to compute resources including virtual machines,
bare-metal computers, and resources in other cloud platforms. A self-service
web portal is used to request resources and for administration. VCL became a
TLP on June 20, 2012.

## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
- Work has continued to complete the VCL 2.5 release. A member of the
community submitted a patch to add Active Directory support [1] in April
2015. We decided to include this in the release because it will be a
useful feature to many. Including this feature also may help encourage
contributions like this as we work to strengthen the community. Much of
the recent development has been to incorporate this into trunk.
- Some members of the community have been discussing the possibility of
adding Apache Guacamole support. [2]
- Another member may be contributing some advanced networking features. [3]

## Health report:
- Activity is up since our last report. This is a positive sign. Much of
the activity has been related to preparing the release, but there has
also been activity from new community members and some from people not
directly working on the release. I think the health has been slowly
improving.
