Hi Jim,
+1 to graduate, and great work pushing this along so far. +1 for
Brock to be VP.
I'd consider being extra inclusive as far as anyone that's been a
mentor
or
PPMC member to date. I would include all mentors as the resolution
won't
likely
pass unless there are some senior ASF peeps on it. I would at least
leave Patrick
(the project's Champion), and also consider adding Nige since he was
a
big supporter
of the project. At the ASF, merit doesn't expire, and if they've
contributed ever, they are
strong members of the community whether they are actively
contributing
or not. Life
happens, so it's understandable peeps may drift from direct activity
from time to time.
So, net effect, I'd add Patrick and Nige to the resolution. That
being
said...(and you're
going to say, hey, what the heck, he just got off his soap box about
being extra inclusive,
and...) I've got enough projects on my plate and am super happy with
the
way that
the MRUnit community has grown and I've felt I've helped in my mentor
role to date
and been useful *but*, I'd humbly request that you don't include me
in
the resolution.
Great job and I wish you guys the best. I'll hang around on the
mailing
list and help
where I can going forward, but no need to be on another committee for
me.
So here's my proposed list:
* Brock Noland [email protected]
* Eric Sammer [email protected]
* Aaron Kimball [email protected]
* Konstantin Boudnik [email protected]
* Garrett Wu [email protected]
* Jim Donofrio [email protected]
* Jarek Jarcec Cecho [email protected]
* Patrick Hunt [email protected]
* Nigel Daley [email protected]
Cheers,
Chris

Do any of the mentors want to stay involved?

Hi,
This looks good me! Also, thank you for the honor of suggesting
myself as VP! :)
I would think that the committers mentioned on this page
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mrunit.html would also be in
the
list? Many of them have been active, if not on JIRA, recently.

In our last incubator report [1] the 3 blockers were:
* Grow the community size and diversity
* Make another incubating release
* Construct an MRUnit website to replace the existing stub
We have since:
* Added a new committer
* 0.9.0-incubating will get released in the next few days
* We have a new website
From the beginning of incubation we have:
* Added 3 new committers/PPMC members
* Done 4 releases once 0.9.0-incubating is released
* Created a real website
I think it is time to draft a proposal. Once we get consensus we
can
start a
VOTE thread within the PPMC.
If all goes well then we can start a DISCUSS thread on
general@incubator and
eventually a VOTE thread there.
Here is the proposal I came up with. As Chris suggested below I am
also +1
on making Brock VP. I started the initial PMC list
with the current 3 active committers, I wasnt sure who of the
mentors
and
previous Hadoop committers want to also be part of the PMC.
The proposal is just the canned one from [2] except I replaced
MRUnit
for
${Project} and put in Brock for VP along with the PMC members.
I guess besides the initial PMC list the only part to think about
is
the
${DESCRIPTION-AND-SCOPE} which I set to be: unit testing Apache
Hadoop map
reduce jobs .

Hi Jim,

I updated the status page at
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mrunit.html and rebuilt
the
Clutch
with news, most up to date committer list, and links to all of
our
status reports.
Is improving the website the only holdup to graduation to a TLP
at
this
point or is that even necessary? What are the next steps after
that?
There has been a large uptick in interest in the project over
the
last
month or so and I think graduation would only help to continue
this.
I agree. I think website branding and improvement is something
that's
pretty important,
especially considering some of the recent discussions around
Thrift
which
graduated
from the Incubator a while ago, but hadn't really done a lot of
work
to
reflect branding
on its website. I think we need to spruce it up. It's not a
blocker,
but
it's a "good thing"
to do IMHO.
Over the last month or so we have gotten 2 useful patches from
2
independent contributors in MRUNIT-68 and MRUNIT-91, several
new
JIRA's
added from 3 independent reporters in MRUNIT-91, 88, 70, and a
tutorial
on our wiki from another independent contributor.
Yep I think we're pretty much there. To really start the
discussion,
I'd
recommend
checking out some existing TLPs which recently graduate, and
their
graduation
resolution, e.g., here's some discussion around Lucy's:
http://s.apache.org/o2
Besides the resolution, we'd need to:
1. Hold a community VOTE on lucy-dev@ (I'd recommend drafting the
resolution there
first).
2. Hold a VOTE on general@incubator with the IPMC (they are the
ones
making
the recommendation to the board)
3. Add the resolution to the board agenda for its next meeting,
which
would be sometime
in April.
A precursor to #1 is deciding who would be the most likely
candidate
for
MRUnit VP. I
think Brock would make a good VP for the project, based on the
work
and
effort he's
put in so far, and his willingness to be part of the Apache
process
and to
help prepare
the existing reports.
That being said, it would be great to target the April or May
board
meeting for graduation,
but I think that's plenty of time to at least build a minimal
website for
the MRUnit project
that complies with Apache branding requirements. It doesn't have
to
be
flashy, but should
at least comply with branding.
My 2c.
Cheers,
Chris
