Two problems (and suggested fixes) in projects.apache.org
The first issue is not really with p.a.o, but with Whimsy: In https://whimsy.apache.org/public/committee-info.json, the webpages are listed as http:// instead of https:// (or unqualified), which causes them to be imported into projects.apache.org with the insecure link with no way for the PMC to override this to ensure their site uses https:// there. I can manually update projects.apache.org by modifying files in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/site/json/foundation/ (especially committees.json), but I'm pretty sure a cron job will undo the changes. Suggested fix: use the value of the committee's RDF in data/committees/.rdf file's field's "rdf:resource" attribute instead. Alternatively, just use https:// everywhere by default. The second issue is that repositories.json is out of date: There does not appear to be any cron scripts or README explaining how this file is updated. It doesn't appear to be updated at all, since repositories which don't exist in https://git.apache.org are still listed here (incubator repos which have graduated are notable ones). Also, nothing from https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf is listed in this file, even though they should be. Suggested fix: have a cron job regularly scrape both https://git.apache.org and https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf to update repositories.json Thanks, Christopher

"proper help *offers*", you mean :-) We have replied several of these emails, with details on how to contribute and the next steps, but unfortunately none (AFAIK) of the responses has received feedback or has been continued. I am glad to hear you have been replying. It would help this community to keep aware of and engaged in what is happening if you could ensure all replies to emails on this list are also on this list. Often one of the very first steps we mention is to subscribe to a project mailing list and start participating, and I guess that might be some kind of "too much" [...] I can't usefully comment on your responses until I see one :-) Honestly, the feedback and engagement loop of the help wanted system could be improved, but Idespite having thought about it I haven't had yet any good idea to bring to this list.

Just being aware is the first step. - Julian On 28 April 2018 at 15:58, Julian Foad wrote: In the past 16 days I have seen 11 "Help with task: ..." emails arrive on this list, but no mention of a response.

Re: Who's responding to the "Help with task" emails?
I agree, some of the emails look just like spam, others look proper help requests. We have replied several of these emails, with details on how to contribute and the next steps, but unfortunately none (AFAIK) of the responses has received feedback or has been continued. Often one of the very first steps we mention is to subscribe to a project mailing list and start participating, and I guess that might be some kind of "too much" for someone that just wants to fix some websites, etc. I understand newcomers willing to help not seeing value in that, initially. It is legit to ask, as that is how the ASF works, and it is how communities communicate and the channel they use to operate, so helping a project/community would need interaction in the mailing list at some point, but perhaps it could just not be the very first step for a contributor (although highly recommended). Honestly, the feedback and engagement loop of the help wanted system could be improved, but Idespite having thought about it I haven't had yet any good idea to bring to this list. Suggestions (and even more patches) are very welcome! I.

ApacheCon North America 2018 schedule is now live.
Dear Apache Enthusiast, We are pleased to announce our schedule for ApacheCon North America 2018. ApacheCon will be held September 23-27 at the Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain in Montreal, Canada. Registration is open! The early bird rate of $575 lasts until July 21, at which time it goes up to $800. And the room block at the Marriott ($225 CAD per night, including wifi) closes on August 24th. We will be featuring more than 100 sessions on Apache projects. The schedule is now online at https://apachecon.com/acna18/ The schedule includes full tracks of content from Cloudstack[1], Tomcat[2], and our GeoSpatial community[3]. We will have 4 keynote speakers, two of whom are Apache members, and two from the wider community. On Tuesday, Apache member and former board member Cliff Schmidt will be speaking about how Amplio uses technology to educate and improve the quality of life of people living in very difficult parts of the world[4]. And Apache Fineract VP Myrle Krantz will speak about how Open Source banking is helping the global fight against poverty[5]. Then, on Wednesday, we’ll hear from Bridget Kromhout, Principal Cloud Developer Advocate from Microsoft, about the really hard problem in software - the people[6]. And Euan McLeod, VP VIPER at Comcast will show us the many ways that Apache software delivers your favorite shows to your living room[7]. ApacheCon will also feature old favorites like the Lightning Talks, the Hackathon (running the duration of the event), PGP key signing, and lots of hallway-track time to get to know your project community better. Follow us on Twitter, @ApacheCon, and join the disc...@apachecon.com mailing list (send email to discuss-subscr...@apachecon.com) to stay up to date with developments. And if your company wants to sponsor this event, get in touch at h...@apachecon.com for opportunities that are still available. See you in Montreal!
