If you're not familiar, FOSSBackstage is an *awesome* event, about how 
open source works behind the scenes. It covers governance, running 
Foundations, codes of conduct, managing people, community management, 
and so on.


Thanks for the reminder.  I just submitted a talk.  Very happy to see 
they will have an online day and an in-person day too!  They always have 
great speakers and love Berlin.

Re: What should I do if the program I participated in was infringed?

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Sorry to hear that. My guess from having dealt with these many times though
I am not a lawyer, is that they do not understand copyright and open
source. Have you reached out to them and asked them to change it back?

After that your recourse is likely going to be legal and you'll want to
talk to a copyright attorney.

Re: New committer invitation template proposal

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Craig, great idea. I've had this exact issue and seen it happen on
projects. Plus you have significant experiences secretary so almost
anything you recommend for streamlining the process is going to be a
benefit to the foundation.

Re: Invitation to participate with the ASF at GSoC 2021

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Jira.

We are using GitHub issues.

Do you support that?

Of course, I think we *could* list on Jira the issues we'd like to
propose, for the purposes of the GSoC campaign.

Which approach do you recommend?


As described here:






https://community.apache.org/use-the-comdev-issue-tracker-for-gsoc-tasks.html
you can use COMDEV JIRA for your GSoC tasks (JIRAs can be linked
with
GitHub issues)


Thanks,
Nathan

Re: Please help with this year GSoC application

[Kevin A. McGrail]

A successful Summer best utilizes a students time off of school to learn 
something new.  Through the Google Summer of Code program, The Apache 
Software Foundation is able to mentor students to solve real-world 
problems on one of the nearly 400 projects underneath our open source 
umbrella.

Re: Ethics and privacy

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Afraid I can't think of any documentation for such a hypothetical case.
Did something specific happen with a project that somehow misused data?
Are you perhaps confusing the foundation who develops the software with
perhaps another entity that has used the software?

Re: Invitation to participate with the ASF at GSoC 2021

[Kevin A. McGrail]

I don't know if we have our website up and the process completely ready but
we're several months away. What I would suggest working on now is defining
projects to advertise for students. Remember that this year there are 1/2
the number of hours. And I would look for mentors on your project and get
them approved. That's probably about it for right now and then watch for
the announcement for applications.

Re: Invitation to participate with the ASF at GSoC 2021

[Kevin A. McGrail]

I would say +100 for an incubating project to participate in GSOC. It's all
about the mentors and the students getting exposed to open source software.

I would definitely start discussing it with your project and if you're
stepping up the mentor get approval and start thinking about projects that
would be good for students.

Re: Question: how to property fork an apache project

[Kevin A. McGrail]

No, the ASF will not provide legal advice for this.  But have you
considered getting a 3rd person involved, and having a viable PMC instead?

Re: ASF events: inquiry on requirements for speakers

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Hi Elena


   - What are you looking for when deciding on the speakers?

This will differ based on the event but in general what I look for is 3
things: information not advertisement, connection to the Apache Software
Foundation community, experience at speaking.


   - Where can I find a full list of requirements for topics submission,
   format, etc.?

At this time, there are no calls for presenters (CFPs) open to review.
Apachecon.com would be where you would find announcements for events and
their respective CFPs.


   - What is the timeline cycle for a speaker from the moment of applying
   to getting approved, presenting, etc.?

Depends on the CFP and the event.  As an all volunteer led organization,
sometimes it can take a while but we appreciate all the speakers who do
apply!  Right now, the pandemic is disrupting any concepts of planning so I
would also warn that who the heck knows for the next year?


   - Who do we submit our proposal to?

Usually there is a CFP for each event.  The most recent one for
ApacheCon @HOME was done on jamhosted (https://acna2020.jamhosted.net/).
For the DC Roadshow, I used PaperCall.io (https://www.papercall.io/asf-dc20
).

Hope this helps.  Is there a specific topic you are interested in
presenting about?

Regards,
KAM

successful applicants that increase the impact of volunteers age 55 and
older who provide volunteer service in response to local community needs.

*The Notice of Funding Opportunity and specific geographic service areas
can be found at **nationalservice.gov/rsvpcompetition
<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA3MDcuMjQwMDg1MjEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5uYXRpb25hbHNlcnZpY2UuZ292L3JzdnBjb21wZXRpdGlvbiJ9.RwgGo8Y0W5lw3ETZ0a4ZQDsrdTYILPKLGg0DYrN84As/s/1188549073/br/80751472251-l>*.

eligible to apply: public or private nonprofit organizations (including
faith-based and other community organizations), institutions of higher

counties), government-recognized veteran service organizations, labor
organizations, partnerships and consortia, and Indian Tribes.

We strongly encourage all eligible applicants to visit

impact by engaging adults age 55 years and older in volunteer service.

*Timeline*

   p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. PT), Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2020*. Successful applicants
   will be notified in *mid-Jan., 2021.*

*Funding Priorities*

Senior Corps RSVP volunteers help organizations expand services, build
capacity, develop partnerships, leverage resources, create sustainable
projects, and recruit and manage other volunteers. Grant funding partially
covers expenses to operate a Senior Corps RSVP project such as staffing,
supplies, volunteer stations, and training of staff and members.

This Senior Corps RSVP NOFO prioritizes grant-making in the six focus areas
identified by the Serve America Act of 2009 and in alignment with the CNCS
Strategic Plan: *Disaster Services; Economic Opportunity; Education;
Environmental Stewardship; Healthy Futures; and Veterans and Military
Families*.

Within the six focus areas, Senior Corps funding priorities include:

   - Evidence-Based Program Implementation
   - Access to Care - Opioid Abuse
   - Aging in Place - Elder Justice
   - Aging in Place - Independent Living
   - Economic Opportunity - Workforce Development
   - Education - Intergenerational Programming
   - Disaster Services
   - Veterans and Military Families

*Technical Assistance*

CNCS will host a series of technical assistance calls to answer questions
about this funding opportunity, performance measures, and eGrants. CNCS
strongly encourages all interested applicants to participate in these
sessions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PEOPLE RUNNING TRUNK re: [Bug 7826] Improve language around whitelist/blacklist and master/slave

[Kevin A. McGrail]

IMPORTANT NOTICE

If you are running trunk, we are working on changing terms like whitelist
to allowlist and blacklist to blocklist.

https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7826

The first test of this work is done with allowlist_to replacing whitelist_to
Committed revision 1879456.

If you are using trunk, there may be disruption since routines, plugins and
rule changes will all interweave.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Re: Mailing List

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Hello Eli,

I cannot speak for Apache or the Apache SpamAssassin project.  The concept
of partnering with us is not a common or simple endeavor.  That is a dead
end in my opinion.

However, I am a project management committee {pmc} member and have spent
nearly 25 years battling spammers.  I think I can help.  Please email me
off-list and I can discuss how I can help.

I am also cc'ing the pmc list for SpamAssassin in case others have ideas or
wish to chime in.

Regards,
KAM

Xiangdong Huang, If any students want to continue outside of GSOC, I would
be happy to help mentor them too and try to make the best of the
opportunity for them.

Re: The Problem about GSoC 2020

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Thanks.  And considering I assist with GSOC and with IoTDB, it's a
failing of mine. I thought that all the pmcs had been contacted
including IPMCs.

Sorry, I will work to improve it next year!

Free Shared Stand for OSS Foundations at jbcnconf 2020

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Hello Fellow Foundationites,

Jonathan Vila, cc'd, emailed me a bit ago about jbcnconf 2020.  They
have recently opened the call for papers and this year they want to
offer a free shared stand to OSS foundations.

The event is July 6th through the 8th of 2020 in Barcelona.  More info
at http://www.jbcnconf.com/2020/

Jean-frederic Clere, also cc'd, has offered to lead an Apache delegation
and we have a few other volunteers, cc'ing our ComDev team. So Apache
will be there and I wanted to spread the word to have some other
Foundations share the booth!  We'll be creating a wiki page and can help
coordinate booth slots, etc.

Logo

Regards,
KAM

Re: jbcnconf 2020

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Morning All,

I waited some extra days due to the US holiday last Thursday for
discussion on this topic.

To recap, Jean-frederic has offered to lead an Apache delegation for our
booth.  He will create a wiki like we did for fossdem2020.  Ignasi
Barrera has also offered to help with the stand & Jean-Baptiste has also
said he will try and be there.

So at this time I think we can say, Apache will be there.  Any
objections before I email a foundations list stating that and trying to
get some other OSS organizations to take advantage of Jonathan's offer
for a free table?

Regards,

KAM

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Planners & Comdev,

Jonathan emailed me about jbcnconf 2020.  They have just opened the call
for papers tomorrow, and this year they want to offer a free shared
stand to OSS foundations.

The event is: 6-7-8 July 2020

Jean-Frederic, is willing to lead an Apache delegation and help man the
booth.  He needs an ASF Roll-up and some stickers at a minimum.

If we agree this is good, I'd like to post it on the foundations list as
well to see if other OSS places want to do it as well!

Regards,
KAM

Re: ASF slack for Apache Ignite - non English communication

I would think that you should post on one channel and perhaps Infra can
install tools for automatic translation to English?

Re: [VOTE] ComDev supports formation of D&I committee

I'm +1 [non-binding] for splitting D&I from ComDev off into it's own
committee/PMC/initiative/etc.  It hasn't been done well under comdev and
it's time to give it a shot on it's own.

Before I deal with this issue:

+Dev.

TL;DR: REMINDER: PLEASE use a make test on your local checkout before
committing!

We had two issues.  It appears an svn commit failed on a release and
that left cruft that was colliding for commit.  That issue was caused by
a manual edit to active.list:

Revision *1854477*
 - (view
)
(download
)
(annotate
)
- [select for diffs]


Modified /Wed Feb 27 18:16:20 2019 UTC/ (2 months ago) by /gbechis/
File length: 15052 byte(s)
Diff to previous 1854447

(colored
)


Switch to https and fix some 404 errors
bz #7652

The second issue is a continuing one and that is committers submitting
without 'make test' first.  This occurred in January when I tried to
build the last release.  If the svn for trunk including rules is broken,
it will break masscheck, etc.  We are currently passing again so just a
friendly reminder.  It takes a village to stop a spammer :-)


So  now, what I see in the logs is that the commit didn't occur but
there is no error, nothing.  Checking
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/active.list?view=log
concurs:

5/5 (note that Committing promotions is NOT followed by an svn commit)

+ echo 'Committing promotions in rules/active.list...'
+ svn commit -m 'promotions validated' rules/active.list
Committing promotions in rules/active.list...
+ /usr/bin/perl masses/rule-qa/list-bad-rules

5/4 (example where the commit worked)
+ echo 'Committing promotions in rules/active.list...'
Committing promotions in rules/active.list...
+ svn commit -m 'promotions validated' rules/active.list
Sendingrules/active.list
Transmitting file data .done
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 1858595.


I'm out of time to keep pursuing this but hoping someone else can look
at it.

Ofer From Redis was in the keynote for next showing open source and doing a

Not sure how this is an open source annoucement...

Re: Request for Interview Participants

[Kevin A. McGrail]

I would say this is not unsolicited nor bulk, so it is not the same issue.

He wrote to the advertised place about Apache Beam.  It might be slightly
off-topic.

To me,.this sample is much better than if he scrapped the list and mailed
everyone who had posted privately.  That is what the other threads have
effectively been about.

You might post something that will help the next person looking such as:

We are bombarded by these type of survey requests.  It is unlikely you will
get a much of a response, certainly not one that is statistically
significant.  And if people resort to.spam, we will report it to the IRB.
I'd recommend you reconsider your project.

Re: Apache Brochure/Tri-Fold?

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Roman,

You might need to align this with the need to update the English version
and have it approved by Press and Media first.  SK says it is too out of
date for distribution.

Then the English version needs to be translated to the Russian version, etc.

Not sure if the Russian version is out of date though.

kAM

Switching meritocracy to do-ocracy might be a good way to handle it and
I know that's what other orgs like LF have done.  However, we are
straddling the middle of having both principles of duopolies like JFDI
and elections with the necessary hierarchy for fiscal / corporate
oversight.  That means the definition of do-ocracy doesn't fit.  I
usually do mention the issues like a meritocracy often morphs into a
dictatorship and that people can amass too much merit that it's viewed
as harmful.  I see that when I mention my $0.02 sometimes and it's taken
with more weight than I intend.

So like Roman, I've been search for a word or a succinct handle to refer
to it.  I don't have an answer but agree that do-ocracy and meritocracy
don't work well.

I usually say all the things we aren't in my Yet Another The Apache Way
talk (TATAW per Daniel Ruggeri).  I think I'll start saying we aren't a
meritocracy OR a do-ocracy/duopoly either but it's the closest thing I
know of. 

I don't like the idea of NOT saying what we are so do you have
suggestion of what word you think fits?

I like the idea especially the roadshow first to establish a beachhead.  I
would add that a collocated event might be ok in some circumstances too as
a first landing.

Re: ASF Blog

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Sally is working on a whole bunch of stuff for the 20th anniversary on Mar
26th including some special logos and site design.  I think its being done
with the central services / foundation(x) idea.

Adding Sally so she can tell you which list handles that new endeavor.  I
also think the blog might be powered by a specific project so if you help
them, it helps our blog.

Yes.  As a 501(c)(3), this information is public information.  You can
likely get it from our annual reports as well as from our tax returns

JBCNConf Request for Community Partnership

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Hi Sharan,

Jonathan Vila, cc'd, is organizing https://www.jbcnconf.com/

The are looking for the ASF to be a community partner.

Community Partners will share 1 free stand and get 1 free ticket for every
community represented there.  The responsibilities of the community partner
is to share the conference with members to help with promotion.  Is this
something the ASF can do?

NOTE: I've submitted a talk for the event

Sally, I was not trying to be revisionist or especially not to discount
people's prior work by calling it a committee of 1. Call it Fundraising
2.0 if you will when I came on board. 

I say made it a committee because I specifically discussed if it was a
committee or not from a parliamentarian prospective and then took steps
to make it a President's committee.  The outcome of that was things like
the fundraising-private list with the initial role
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14307?jql=text%20~%20%22fundraising%40%22)
and the institution of monthly committee meetings with agendas & minutes
which built on the bi-weekly meetings I had initially with just Lynsey &
I. 

In any case, I am certainly very thankful to all the past VPs and to my
current Co-VP Daniel (at least for a few more weeks).  I couldn't get
where I got without building on their work and I hope it can continue to
grow.  We've got a big task ahead to meet some pretty large fiscal
budgets and I want to set it up for success.

Regards,
KAM

[Kevin A. McGrail]

There is more paperwork.  See other emails.  The only time sensitive
issue is the application.  The rest will be a longer tail of figuring
out who handles GSOC 2019 financial stuff and for now, the plan is to
funnel it to you.

Agreed.  Please read my statement as light a fire under getting a
committee established and then moving.  But to be clear, I view the
finance committee as existing now with a member of 1.  Just like when I
started with fundraising.  As long as you are a President's committee,
all you need is Sam's blessing and you can spread your wings a bit to
get things moving.  There are certain shackles we know about like the
endowment that the board has preempted from anyone else at the current
time.

Typically there have been a few standard things.  Confirming something

I hear your opinion and I'm looking for a way through this:

1 - Things like KYBC have complicated things because as this switches
from role based to person-specific access to these things, the burden to
maintain access becomes extraordinarily high.

2 - Treasurer, Accounting and Fundraising can certainly work out the
tax/finance/donation receipts/recognition/money transfer issues.  I'm
recommending that Finance might be the best way to bridge these gaps. 

I've handled it for the past two years in a hat of Treasurer and then
Fundraising.  The past years don't matter because they were before the
modern era here when we brought in Virtual and started to fix the issues
with things like this and sponsor invoicing that were getting dropped. 

Tom has stepped up to say the finance committee will handle it this year
so that gives breathing room.  Now there are lots of discussions needed
to figure out where certain roles lie especially in the bleedover with
Treasurer and Fundraising so execution can continue.

KAM

???  Well it's definitely been discussed before to get things like the
endowment done, provide oversight, help with the audit, etc.  It's part
of why you were named VP Finance and you yourself triggered the idea in
May of last year: "HI Phil,  no worries happy to help.  So from my own
experience the endowment we had was governed by the board however there
was a specific finance committee that over saw the investment of the
Endowment funds. "

Since then, to job your memory, there's been talk about whether it would
be an executive committee, formed only of board members

And my recommended next steps for the endowment in the report last year
included: "Setup a Finance Committee to review chaired by the
VP Finance and recommend a scenario to the board for the Nov board
meeting".  Daniel specifically mentioned that to you in the chain with
Subject "Fundraising Guidance from Board Meeting?" on Oct 21

It's in the tabled items from our fundraising meetings as well.

Thanks Tom.  I was hoping that committee would be a good way to bridge
the dual hattedness of fundraising/treasurer that has been historically
needed.

Who all is on the finance committee right now?

Re: Best ways to reach out ASF community to participate in research?

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Hi Gris,

TL;DR: I'd say trying to do a survey through the ASF is not a very good
use of your time. 

We recently had a survey request that did not go well.  They posted to
the approved lists and got a very minimal response.  They then decided
that they would find/build/scrape/whatever a list of Apache email
addresses and spammed them.  That ended up with at least 2 dozen
complaints and several went just shy of IRB complaints to the university
that was involved.

I mention this not because you or the others involved would do such a
dastardly daring deed but rather to say, I don't think the ASF is a good
place to advertise such a survey.  The responses will likely be
statistically minimal AND people are likely a bit burned by the last
survey.  You won't* be allowed to email all the members and the lists
you will be allowed to email don't contain a very large or
representative sample of the ~700 members and ~7000 committers.

Regards,

KAM

* without the board's approval which I don't see occurring

Hi Uli, there are two issues at hand:

1 - The application due Feb 6th and concern that you've been ill.  So
Maxim stepped up and has been leading getting the application done. 
That is considered time-sensitive and no one seems to have the
statistics about student success/failure from GSoC2018.  We have the
2017 information as you noted elsewhere.  Hopefully that's good to go
now.  This was the reason for the time-sensitive subject line.

2 - The other issue at hand is not as time sensitive.  There are various
other paperwork for the program that are required as the year goes on
that need to be handled to get the donation from Google.  I've handled
it for the past 2 years and I'm exiting the role.  I'm not being
replaced in a 1:1 fashion so there are duties that I have been handling
that I'm concerned about due to a retraction of duties that will leave
GSOC slipping through the cracks.  I'd prefer that not happen. 

Maybe if you can volunteer to handle that for Fundraising, that would be
good?  I don't think it should fall under treasurer but the issue is it
will take someone in a financial role to handle a lot of it.  Another
idea is to light a fire under the financial committee and add this to
the tasks it handles as an intermediary to give oversight to treasurer
and assistance to fundraising where they need.

Re: ULI TIME SENSITIVE - Re: GSoC 2019 Org applications now open

[Kevin A. McGrail]

FYI, I've handled all the paperwork for the donation for 2 years, FYI.
Normally Uli fills out the application though because it's been sick.  It
definitely needs to be discussed with you and Treasurer about who will
handle the paperwork.  ComDev is unlikely to be able to handle the money
transfer details.  With Treasurer and Fundraising both having paid staff,
one of the two should be where the buck stops (pun intended).

Re: ULI TIME SENSITIVE - Re: GSoC 2019 Org applications now open

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Thanks Maxim.  Fundraising has helped before as this is a fundraising
item for the ASF but there are some hiccups as my role in fundraising is
ending and who is taking over some things is not clear.  All I know
right now is that it isn't Sally.

I just left Uli a v/m.

Sigh, just trying to get more eyes on the work and it's got a pretty swift
deadline coming up.  I've been working very steadily on it.  Daniel, can
you take over for it?  Deadline of 2/6.  See another email from Maxim that
I cc'd to fundraising and comdev.

Maxim, Adding in fundraising@ and comdev@ so we can get more eyes on this.
Mentors isn't really the best list for this.

If SK can't call Uli soon, I will try and bug him by phone as well.

Because the original email had tasks related to fundraising for event

Removing and adding comdev to new thread.

OK, adding the right list then.  The discussion being orphaned on
mentors@ is an issue but Maxim is doing a great job trying to pickup for
Uli being ill with a very tight deadline.

Fwd: Google Summer of Code 2019 is coming

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Podlings, please take a look at this and ask me questions.  This can be
a great way of getting some fresh eyes on a project.


Regards,
KAM



 Forwarded Message 
Subject:Google Summer of Code 2019 is coming
Date:   Fri, 25 Jan 2019 20:50:23 +0700

Reply-To:   ment...@community.apache.org
To: ment...@community.apache.org



Hello PMCs (incubator Mentors, please forward this email to your podlings),

Google Summer of Code [1] is a program sponsored by Google allowing
students to spend their summer
working on open source software. Students will receive stipends for
developing open source software
full-time for three months. Projects will provide mentoring and
project ideas, and in return have
the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to
identify and bring in new committers.

The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual
projects don't have to apply separately.

If you want to participate with your project we ask you to do the
following things by no later than
2019-01-31 19:00 UTC (applications from organizations close a week later)

1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2].

2. record your project ideas.

Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2019, and they will
show up at [3]. Please be as
specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the
programming language, the tools and
skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They
are supposed to learn what's
required before the program starts.

Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang,
python, brainfuck, ...) or
technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...).

Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your
project doesn't use JIRA (e.g.
httpd, ooo). Contact dev@community.apache.org if you need assistance.

[4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2019 shortly).

3. subscribe to ment...@community.apache.org; restricted to potential
mentors, meant to be used as a
private list - general discussions on the public
dev@community.apache.org list as much as possible
please). Use a recognized address when subscribing (@apache.org or one
of your alias addresses on
record).

Note that the ASF isn't accepted as a participating organization yet,
nevertheless you *have to*
start recording your ideas now or we might not get accepted.

Over the years we were able to complete hundreds of projects
successfully. Some of our prior
students are active contributors now! Let's make this year a success again!

P.S.: this email is free to be shared publicly if you want to.

Hi Joana, nice to meet you!

One thought that comes to mind from your intro: On the events side, we
have 4 events in 2019.  Are you able to help spread the word on those by
any chance using your social media channels?

Hi Bob, It sounds like there could be a use for the donated licenses.  If
you want to email fundrais...@apache.org, we can discuss the FMV, provide a
receipt for the donation, discuss recognition based on the value, etc.

Sorry, this might not be right for events.a.org.  I somehow missed that

After you commit, you have to go to cms.apache.org and publish the www
site.  You can view it on www.staging.apache.org.  (note the www I believe
is required for staging).

Re: Upcoming event "ad" needed

I think they are good but as noted, the roadshow will be delayed so we
can stand down on this for the moment.  We are rescheduling and I'll add
you to the list of people to get the updated graphic from!

Meeting with the UC Researcher

[Kevin A. McGrail]

I am meeting with the UC Researcher to discuss the spam issue & the apology
next Wednesday at 4PM ET.  Others are welcome to join if they wish.   My
key goal is honestly to get a gauge on how well they understand that their
apology was even worse than the initial problem.  If they don't understand,
I'd like to keep them out of IRB hot water and become good netizens.

Re: ASF apology

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Sherae,

While I appreciate your attempts to email & apologize, they have frankly
been amateurish at best.  We now have complaints about the apology letter
because several people had unsubscribed.  Please don't send more emails.

Spam is about consent, not content.  You could send me the cure to cancer
and I would consider it spam.  You had no consent initially and had
explicit opt outs that were ignored on the apology and you have a
double-whammy.  I don't want to see an apology for the apology or anyone
sacking the people responsible for the credits to quote Monty Python.

This kind of handling gets people in serious issues with IRBs so if you
would like to learn more, please let me know.  I had high hopes for this
survey.  Let's talk next week.  Do you have any availability?

Regards,
KAM

IMPORTANT: OSS Employment Survey - Now Open to Self-Employed and Retired

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Good morning everyone,

After the feedback from ComDev and discussions with Dr. Daniel, I'm
happy to report that Self-Employed and Retired people are now eligible. 
Also, the survey now allows for skipping any questions that are too
personal.

We need more samples and would appreciate if you could spread the word
on this to your PMC.  We need more info about careers in OSS and this is
a great way to get it.  I'm also hoping they have enough responses to
report on the preliminary findings at the Apache Washington DC Roadshow
on Dec 4th (http://apachecon.com/usroadshow18)

They now invite anyone over 18 years old, with experience in the Apache
community to fill out the survey.  -KAM

Please click the following link to start the survey:
http://cincinnati.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3h3D0bMEHrQ47xr

The survey should take 10-15 minutes and you can skip any questions you
find to be too personal. Upon completion
· you will be placed in a lottery where you have TWO chances to
win $250
· we’ll donate $5 to Apache—up to $1000 total

We believe in the importance of the work that you do and we want to
support it. Thanks for engaging with us.

 -Sherae, Liwei, and Jaime

It is anonymous unless you give your name and email at the end.
