Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Graduation of Apache Olingo from the Incubator
Dear all, Maybe you have received Apache board meeting report already. Apache Olingo now a TLP :-) Thank you all for the great support from Apaches incubator. That Olingo is now a TLP is also your result. Olingo has learned a lot from incubation and is now happy to continue on the Apache Way as TLP Greetings, Stephan (VP Apache Olingo) On 17.03.14 10:27, "Florian Müller" wrote: > Hi all, > > The vote has passed with three binding +1 votes, no +0, and no -1 > votes. > > +1 votes: > > * Dave Fisher > * Alan Cabrera > * Florian Müller > > I will ask the board to add the resolution to the agenda of the next > board meeting. > > > Thanks! > > Florian > > > >> Hi all, >> >> The Apache Olingo community has VOTEd to graduate from the incubator >> [1][2]. >> >> Apache Olingo entered the Incubator in July 2013, has done two >> releases, >> has added new contributors, received code contributions, and has an >> active community. >> >> Please find the proposed board resolution below. >> >> >> Please VOTE below on the graduation of Apache Olingo from the >> Incubator.

[DISCUSS] Graduate Apache Olingo as TLP
Hello, Apache Olingo is in incubation since August 2013. Since then the project made a lot of progress, has created 2 releases (where the 3rd one is in progress), added 7 new committers and has now 18 in total and got two major code contributions [1]. Also the mailing list is quite busy and many people do show interest into the project [2]. The Olingo community did agree to graduate and had voted for a resolution proposal [3, 4]. The resolution is added to this mail and and we would like to ask the IPMC if there are any objections to it.

Re: [PROPOSAL] OData Proposal for Incubator
Hi Dennis, Sorry for coming back so late to your valuable feedback. After re-thinking about the trademark issue and your thoughts about confusion we come to conclusion to use a different name for the project. I would like to change our project name to Apache Olingo Olingo is a little bear [1] and that name should avoid any confusion with the OASIS standard or any other potential trademark holder.

Re: [PROPOSAL] OData Proposal for Incubator
Hello Dennis, Good point! The project naming was a challenge for us and maybe I just can explain why we prefer Apache OData as project name. The main reason is search. Someone who is interested in OData will use this term and the result page will today list odata.org as the protocols homepage, Wikipedia which is fine and the OASIS TC. In future we would like to see that Apache OData is highly ranked and completes the search result list. If we use a different name someone has to know this name and has to search for it explicitly. We would like to keep it simple and avoid confusion. We had also a look into the ASF project naming guidelines and I think most of the points there are considered by the name Apache OData.

Re: [PROPOSAL] OData Proposal for Incubator
Hi Henry, You are absolutely right and we are aware of that we are currently a homogenous community. We don't want to stay this and encourage everyone to join our effort and become a committer of the Apache OData project. OData as an open OASIS standard will profit from a diversified OData project at Apache. At GitHUB, where we released the original code a few weeks ago, we received already some contributions from other developers. And we are in contact with the technical committee at OASIS to create awareness about this proposal. This could also create interest by other people. Nethertheless this project is a young one and has to do effort to increase its community.

Re: [PROPOSAL] OData Proposal for Incubator
Olemis, Thanks for interest. I have added Apache Bloodhound to the list of potential integrators in the proposal document (https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ODataProposal). About your question to OData Phyton binding. This is very interesting because of OData as a web protocol is not just bound to a single implementation technology. We don't have concrete plans but an Apache OData community could potentially benefit from a Phyton contribution.

Re: [PROPOSAL] OData Proposal for Incubator
Rob, Thanks for your hint. I do understand Marmotta as an implementation of the Linked Data Platform (LDP). Linked Data is a concept for building a semantic web where things are identified by URIs. Links can be used to explore things. OData is a data centric protocol which describes metadata and allows data queries. It can be seen as the SQL for the web. One main use case is to open data silos to be accessible over the web. Apache OData is a implementation of the OData protocol. Although LDP and OData make use of REST principles both do address different uses cases. I don't see overlap here.

[PROPOSAL] OData Proposal for Incubator
Dear ASF members, We would like to propose the OData project to the Incubator. The OData Proposal is available at: https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ODataProposal We welcome your feedback and suggestions. Thanks! Stephan Klevenz = Apache OData = === Abstract === Apache OData is a generic Java language implementation of the OData 2.0 specification which will serve as a code base for the upcoming OASIS OData specification. === Proposal === The Open Data Protocol (OData) [1] is a Web protocol for querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock your data and free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of applications, services, and stores. The Apache OData is a library which enables developers to implement OData producers and OData consumers. Basic principles of the library are to provide an OData 2.0 specification compliant OData Library, enhancements shall be possible in a compatible manner, have a clear separation between Core and API, to provide an option to build extensions on top. This library should be base for implementing future releases of the specification. === Background === OData was originally developed by Microsoft and is released in a version 2.0 under an Open Specification Promise [2]. A lot of companies did show interests in this protocol, used it in products and gave feedback back to Microsoft. This joined effort resulted in a new release OData 3.0 in 2012, this version became the basis for the OASIS technical committee [3] which is currently working on a new version of the specification. This OASIS standard release is expected this year. The initial Java code of this project was developed by a development team that had already experience with other OData 2.0 and 3.0 implementations at SAP AG. The current code base implements OData 2.0 and because of this version is widely used it is a good starting point to build an open source community for the OData standard. The current code also comes up with an implementation of an OData sample service. On the one side this is an example for users which want to use the library to expose their own data and on the other side it illustrates how implemented features work. Additionally, the code base includes an extension which is called JPA processor. With this extension it is easy to expose any JPA persistence model via OData protocol without a lot of coding. === Rationale === More software vendors moving to OData means more choice for customers who will be able to use different implementations. For the standard to succeed, however, ensuring interoperability is paramount: in order to manage an ever growing context and leverage the enormous portability and interoperability issues that a globally adopted standard brings, it is necessary to think about how to make the related ecosystem healthy and sustainable. Successful modern standards are driven by: * Clear documentation, built iteratively with continuous feedback from stakeholders * A clearly defined compatibility process, enforced by tools that allow to gauge how implementations can be compatible and interoperable * Accurate compliance criteria, documented in writing as well as in actual testing code that measure how tools and libraries are able to interoperate * A sample implementation to clear up potential doubts and ensure that the standard can actually be implemented in real life scenarios The above mentioned pieces are able to make the development activity, towards an OData implementation, easier and more successful. Having an healthy ecosystem will ensure a smoother implementation process, more compliant products, and ultimately, a wider adoption of the standard. The OData ecosystem has been successful in creating and documenting early versions of the standard, yet it might potentially lack two very important aspects, that is a exhaustive implementation of the complete protocol that can be used productively and to ensure interoperability. As much as such artifacts can be developed independently by any OData proponent, the value of having a neutral party as a steward of actual code is to be considered. The Apache Software Foundation has been playing this kind of role for many years, and can provide the perfect environment to foster contributions on the OData theme with a great amount of expertise. === Initial Goals === * Implement OData 2.0, make it final and mature * Start implementation of OASIS OData draft specification * Provide input and feedback for the draft specification to the OASIS OData TC based on implementation * Implement OData add-ons (library extensions and toolset) == Current Status == === Meritocracy === Most of the initial committers are open source developers with different experience levels and many of them h
