We can put this into confluence and revise there, but here is my initial
cut at the resolution:
Establish the Apache NiFi Project
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best
interests of the Foundation and consistent with the
Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management
Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of
open-source software, for distribution at no charge to
the public, related to the automated and managed flow of
information between systems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Project Management
Committee (PMC), to be known as the "Apache NiFi Project",
be and hereby is established pursuant to Bylaws of the
Foundation; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Apache NiFi Project be and hereby is
responsible for the creation and maintenance of software
related to the automated and managed flow of information
between systems and be it further
RESOLVED, that the office of "Vice President, Apache NiFi" be
and hereby is created, the person holding such office to
serve at the direction of the Board of Directors as the chair
of the Apache NiFi Project, and to have primary responsibility
for management of the projects within the scope of
responsibility of the Apache NiFi Project; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the persons listed immediately below be and
hereby are appointed to serve as the initial members of the
Apache NiFi Project:
* Brandon DeVries ([email protected])
* Tony Kurc ([email protected])
* Joseph L. Witt ([email protected])
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Joseph
L. Witt be appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache NiFi,
to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the
Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until
death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification,
or until a successor is appointed; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the initial Apache NiFi PMC be and hereby is
tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws intended to
encourage open development and increased participation in the
Apache NiFi Project; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Apache NiFi Project be and hereby
is tasked with the migration and rationalization of the Apache
Incubator NiFi podling; and be it further
RESOLVED, that all responsibilities pertaining to the Apache
Incubator NiFi podling encumbered upon the Apache Incubator
Project are hereafter discharged.
The main points to discuss (possibly in their own threads if there is
interest) are the phrasing of the project scope ("the automated and managed
flow of information between systems") and the office of Vice President,
Apache NiFi (I nominate Joe Witt, but this should likely be put to a
vote). I included in the initial member list the people who expressed
interest on this thread, but obviously that list will grow. As soon as I
have access I'll put this in confluence and send out a link, but in the
meantime feel free to comment.
