Jira Issues

2016-03-24 Thread Lewis John Mcgibbney
Hi Folks,
Admittedly I was kinda swamped when the Jira instance got created so have
only just looked at it.
Issues seem to be in a bit of disarray so I am going to have a crack at
sorting them out and setting a roadmap for us.
I'll post progress here later on today.
Thanks

Migrating Community from Github and GoggleGroups to Apache

2016-03-24 Thread Lewis John Mcgibbney
Hi Matt,
As the primary figure within the Joshua community I wonder if you can act
on the following. It will go a long way in enabling us to transition things
over.

   1. Can you create a new branch on the Github repos at [0] called
   'apache' with only a README which states that the Joshua project has been
   transitioned to the Apache Incubator. A link to the Github repos at [1]
   (I've opened [2] to get this set up) would be great. Also a link to the new
   website (once we get it up and running) at [3].
   2. Post a message to the existing Joshua Google Groups which states that
   same as the above however references the new mailing lists at
   u...@joshua.incubator.apache.org and dev@joshua.incubator.apache.org
   3. Post to the Joshua Website that the project has been migrated over to
   the Apache Software Foundation and provide relevant links as posted above.

If we address the above it would be ideal.

Thanks Matt, please let me know if there are any clarifications required.

Cool, yeah Tommoso. I added a reminder to the Logistics on the wiki page
@everyone, I also added a table where you can add your personal agenda, use
case(s), etc. Please feel free to populate.

cool!
it'd be good if we could plan for remote participation via Google Hangouts
and the likes, that way I maybe could join too (if timezone difference is
gentle enough).
