Can we have a weekend moratorium on this thread so we call all cool off? I’d like to toss out some important points to consider over the weekend.
TL;DR: it’s ok for there to be multiple ASF projects that accomplish the exact same thing any competent person is welcome to join any ASF project the Apache Software Foundation, itself, does not submit JSRs It’s ok for there to be multiple ASF projects that accomplish the exact same thing There is no land grab of ideas or product spaces here at the ASF. If a bunch of people I wanted to implement a map/reduce system we could. The fact that Apache Hadoop is in existence shouldn’t be a barrier. I’ll go even further and say that because of AL2.0, we could fork bits, or even co-opt huge swaths of code, from Apache Hadoop and use it to our own means. The only criteria the ASF would hold our new project to is that of a healthy vibrant community. Any competent person is welcome to join any ASF project Anyone could join our new fictitious project, even Apache Hadoop developers. An interesting result of this is that just because people worked on Apache Hadoop, they are not married to Apache Hadoop. They are not traitors if they decide to also dabble in our new project. So long as there are healthy vibrant communities on both sides, e.g. interactions are done in a respectful manner, it’s all good in the eyes of the ASF. The Apache Software Foundation, itself, does not incubate/submit JSRs The protocol etiquette of submitting a JSR is, thankfully, the JCP’s headache and such discussions should take place outside of the ASF project mailing lists. Also, just because a project is a part of the ASF does not ensure that it will be a viable JSR. Being an ASF project does not imply that the ASF explicitly or implicitly endorses it as a JSR contender. IMHO, it may be a bit premature to submit a JSR for this problem domain; jm2c.
