Here's a good chance to review my involvment: beehive = Was a mentor to help with JSR 181 Impl and Axis integration cocoon = Consider myself Emeritus, can revoke my karms geronimo = Was a mentor to help with Axis integration gump = Was a mentor and helping with for example Kaffe runs for a bit. harmony = Was a mentor, still keeping an eye. jakarta-commons = Was once a committer on HTTPClient, could easily mark myself as Emeritus, can revoke my karma juice = Needed for WSS4J, so i am helping here a bit, we are talking about one pmc for both juice and xml-security ode = You know the story here... portals = wsrp4j was spun out from ws and helped with transition, can revoke karma portals-wsrp4j = spun out from ws, can revoke karma jcp-axis-nda = Need this to access JAXRPC tck ws-tsik = We are considering be shutting down incubation of this project. ws-synapse = This will fold into ws-all after incubation is complete. ws-tuscany = This will fold into ws-all after incubation is complete. ws-woden = This will fold into ws-all after incubation is complete. ws-all = Need this :) xml-security = Needed for WSS4J, and hence helping a bit.
So what it comes down to what i am actually working on is as follows: beehive, geronimo, gump, ws-all, security, ode Which does not sound that bad...same as Ken and Noel. Please note that if the current proposal *HAD NOT* happened, then we would have started a bpel impl in ws pmc when we were ready. So that's one less than the list above. Now, If you are talking about who the initial committer set is going to be for ode, Please take that discussion to the ode-dev. You suggestions are welcome! As Noel mentioned, we will start with Ishmael and Bill on the PPMC as soon as the incubator pmc vote is done. thanks, dims On 2/18/06, Niclas Hedhman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Saturday 18 February 2006 12:05, Davanum Srinivas wrote: > > Got word from Noel that the PPMC for Ode (seeded by mentors) will VOTE > > on giving people access (just like Harmony and other projects). > > Without getting into what representation of Noel's statement was... > > All due respect, I still didn't get an answer on why it is such a big deal > (Harmony is different due to SCSL exposure, and IIRC no initial codebase > either). > > Let's assume for a second that the bar of entry is raised to HTTPd levels for > podlings, and podlings coming into the Incubator at the current rate; > > I can only observe that the individuals driving all these proposals are > largely the same group of people.
