I think there are some issues with that approach.

*   Being listed in the initial committer list of a proposal is not
sufficient justification for granting a binding vote.  Each individual
needs to demonstrate merit in the context of incubation and there needs to
be a VOTE.
*   When it's already excruciatingly difficult to get IPMC members to
review releases, making such reviews optional just means hardly anybody
will get around to them -- even if they have the best of intentions.
*   Under this model, a first incubating release could be approved with solely
PPMC votes.  We need more accountability than that.

Speaking as someone who would presumably be suitable for this "Release
Auditor" role, I'm opposed to the idea -- and not just because I don't want to
get stuck doing all the dirty work.

People who sign up to Mentor a podling should expect to vote on releases --
especially the first.  The Incubator PMC tasks Mentors with overseeing the IP
clearance processes.  A Mentor who votes +1 on the first incubating release is
implicitly affirming that IP clearance was done properly -- because that was
their assignment, and if something had gone awry they would surely not vote to
release.

A +1 vote from a "Release Auditor" who did not participate in IP clearance is
much less meaningful: all it tells you is that whatever superficial inspection
they performed on the finished product did not reveal any defects.  If some
committer mistakenly attaches an ALv2 header to a file that shouldn't have
one, a "Release Auditor" won't find that.  To catch such problems, you need
someone monitoring the the dev and commits lists: possibly a Mentor, ideally a
project contributor.

The most meaningful +1 votes are those cast by enlightened core contributors,
because they speak from deep knowledge of the code base and its history.  IP
stewardship is a continuous process, and the Incubator's goal should be to
graduate communities with the motivation and expertise to attend to it over
the long term -- not to certify code.

If you release as an Apache Incubator project, the disclaimer is required.

If you release as your prior project, with prior infra and procedures, then
no.

Note: you cannot release as an Incubator project unless you use Apache

Do we need a disclaimer? (Storm)

2013-11-14 Thread P. Taylor Goetz
The Strom project is just entering the incubator. We have promised our 
community that we will issue a stable 0.9.0 release prior to switching over to 
the Apache release process. We are currently in a release candidate process.

Now that we are an Incubator project, but not yet releasing under the Apache 
process, should we be including a disclaimer with our pre-Apache releases 
stating so?

It feels like we should have some sort legalese in place.

Re: the Voting Status monitor is overloaded

2013-11-14 Thread David Crossley
Thanks to those who did follow-up. That clears a bit.

Another plea from me to help you to clear the clutter:

I reviewed the mail archives for the outstanding ones
to see why the "Vote Monitor" did not detect their vote result.

I do not have time to correct them nor to tweak voter.py
but hope that others can utilise my work.

Here is a summary:

As expected in my original mail, some tallies added extra words
to the Subject, so tricked the monitor.

Others did not tally.

Others tallied but did not add RESULT tag.

Others did cancel but did not add CANCEL tag.

There were a few "community graduation" votes which were "Fwd:" 
but did not summarise. Perhaps voter.py could detect these "notices".

There were a few with common mis-spelings, such as the CANCLE one.

Thanks to Branko, the regex is nice. People could help to expand.

Some possible tweaks to voter/voter.py are flagged below.

Some situations could be cleared with a new RESULT or CANCEL email.

Please assist.

Notes:


Release Apache Stratos 3.0.0 Incubating RC4

They added (passed) at the end of Subject.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Phoenix for Incubation

2013-11-14 Thread Doug Meil

+1 for Phoenix as well.

SQL access for HBase is a repeated thread in the community and while we
probably aren't at the point where there is a single answer for this - and
may never be - it would be nice to have a few "preferred options", so to
speak, with robust communities around them.  Also, per Andy's point about
SQL not being a non-goal of HBase proper, I agree, hence another project
makes sense.

I see both good capabilities and a growing community around Phoenix.

Good points, Andrew, and an omission on my part from the proposal. We
actually had someone internally do something similar for a POC. I'll

I'm on the HBase PMC and am enthusiastically +1 for incubation of Phoenix
to become a TLP.

Phoenix can be divided into a front end and a back end.

The front end is delivered as a JDBC driver and contains, among other
things, the SQL parser and query planner. The front end is currently
written for the HBase client API but could be extended to support other
data stores in the Apache family.

The back end is, currently, HBase specific components for pushing as much
work to the server as possible. However, if there were sufficient interest
to build them, contributions to Phoenix of new back ends for other data
stores in the Apache family would be feasible.

Most importantly, as James mentioned in the proposal, much of the Phoenix
project's attention will focus on the query planning part. Supporting SQL
or any declarative query interface is to the best of my knowledge a
non-goal of the HBase community.

Re: Cultivating Outstanding IP Stewards

2013-11-14 Thread ant elder
Those sound like fine experiments to try - having a release auditor,
and a new podling with the PPMC have binding votes and initially
seeded just with IPMC members - however they aren't the experiments i
was thinking of.

What i'd like to try is more similar to the pTLP approach previously
talked about. So take some existing podling, eg Stratos and/or
VXQuery, and give the PPMC binding votes. They have experienced and
active mentors so there will be oversight and nothing to worry about.
They already have experienced participants so know what they're doing
anyway. Anyone on the Incubator PMC can join in or watch what happens
and intervene at any point to have the experiment shutdown in the
unlikely event that they go wild.

Its just a small experimental trial. Even if successful this likely
wouldn't ever become the approach used for most podlings, but it could
be a useful step for some. Lets give it a try.

What do you say?
