Incubator PMC/Board report for December 2010 (connectors-dev@incubator.apache.org)
Dear Lucene Connector Framework Developers, This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator PMC. It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly board report. The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 15 December 2010, 12 pm Pacific. The report for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator PMC requires your report to be submitted one week before the board meeting, to allow sufficient time for review. Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC, and subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you should submit your report is one week prior to the board meeting. Thanks, The Apache Incubator PMC Submitting your Report -- Your report should contain the following: * Your project name * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the project or necessarily of its field * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation. * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of * How has the community developed since the last report * How has the project developed since the last report. This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/December2010 Note: This manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page is created from a template. Mentors --- Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator PMC. Incubator PMC
Re: Release?
+1 Unfortunately I am maxed out until at least Friday, so there has been no chance for me to get to look at it. That said, I won't hold it up. Besides, 0.1 is mostly testing the process anyway, so we can fix issues in 0.2 as well. So, I say go for it, unless somebody really objects. -- Jack Krupansky -Original Message- From: Karl Wright Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 11:47 AM To: connectors-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Release?

Next steps would be to generate a candidate release which the rest of us can download. Put it up on people.apache.org/~YOURUSERNAME/... and then send a note to the list saying where to locate it. Rather than call a vote right away, just ask us to check it out and try it as there will likely be issues for the first release. Once we all feel we have a decent candidate, we can call a vote, which should be a formality. See http://apache.org/dev/#releases for more info.

I removed the modules level from the hierarchy because it served no useful purpose and complicated matters. The outer level build.xml now allows you build code, docs, and run tests separately from one another, and gives you help as a default. ant image builds you the deliverable .zip and tar.gz files. Online site has been polished so that it now contains complete javadoc, as does the built and delivered .zip and tar.gz's. In short, we *could* actually do a release now, if only we had (and incorporated) the KEYS file I alluded to earlier, which I do not know how to build or obtain. I believe this needs to be both generated and registered. The site also needs to refer to a download location/list of mirrors before it could go out the door. Help? Grant?

I also now include the generated site in the release tar.gz and .zip. Issues still to address before release: (1) source tar.gz and zip in outer-level build.xml, which I will try to address shortly. (2) vehicle for release downloads, and naming thereof. In short, where do I put
Re: Release?
I will at least need: (a) Grant to look at it, to make sure the legal niceties are taken care of, and (b) Help in getting the images and signature files up to the mirrors I'll call the vote after (a) is done.
