Re: Creating an ASF Project Game Application ?

[Lefty Leverenz]

Fun!

But it's too easy when the project's name is in its logo.  Some could be
blurred out, but some are essential to the logo.

Typo alert on the game page:  "it's" means it is and "its" is the
possessive form, as illustrated in the previous paragraph.

*Mnemonic:*  "his hers its" are all possessives and don't need apostrophes.
 (Also ours, yours, theirs, and whose.)

Yeah, English has weird rules.

Re: Eric Keefe

Another good way to get started is by working on the documentation.

When you use the software, you'll probably find shortcomings in the
documentation.  Researching doc fixes often involves reading parts of the
code.  And making a contribution, however small, is a great motivator.

Re: Overlapping role descriptions

[Lefty Leverenz]

Pierre, although your new descriptions make sense I still prefer the
originals.  Projects have separate mailing lists for developers and users,
so people need to understand the difference.  And users can contribute too.

Perhaps a third description for "contributor" could clarify the overlap.

Re: Unable to find bug tracker list

[Lefty Leverenz]

Prakash, you can find the bug tracker for each project by following links
in the projects directory (https://projects.apache.org/projects.html).

For example, if you were interested in the Hive project you could scroll
down the list of projects to find Apache Hive and follow this link:  Apache
Hive <https://projects.apache.org/project.html?hive>.  The project page has
a Development section that includes "Bug-tracking" which gives this link to
the Hive JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE.  The Summary page has a menu on
the left, and Issues
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:issues-panel>
is
the first item in the menu.

Other projects use Bugzilla instead of JIRA.  For example, see the Apache
Ant page <https://projects.apache.org/project.html?ant>.

You can also reach bug trackers from the individual project home pages,
which are easy to find with any search engine, but they may use different
names (Hive says "Issue Tracking" and Ant says "Bug Database") and the
links will be in different places on the home page, so I recommend using
the project list as described above.

Thank you for your interest in contributing.

Re: Apache Reporter Service

Kudos, Daniel!  Great idea.

Question 1:  How can RMs add release data if they aren't PMC members?
 (This might be answered by your most recent message.)

Questions 2  3:  Do the chart timelines advance week-by-week or
month-by-month?  How often is the template refreshed?  The #emails sent in
the past 3 months and in the previous cycle confused me -- does a cycle
mean a reporting cycle or just a moving 3-month period?

As a longer-term suggestion, could the submitted reports get pumped back
into the Apache Reporter Service and displayed for public access, charts
and all?  'Cuz I'm naturally curious about other projects.

 project in the URL, for instance: https://reporter.apache.org/?apr would
 navigate directly to the Apache Portable Runtime project if you are on
 that
 PMC (or a member of the foundation).

 The report mock-up is meant as a help only, not a canonical template for
 board reports. Vital items, such as community activity and board issues
 are
 intentionally left for the reporter (chair) to fill out, and heaven help
 the woman/man who submits a report with these fields left as default ;).

 Later today, I plan to enable the distribution watching part of this
 service, which will send reminders to anyone who pushes a release, that
 they should (not required, but if they want to!) add their release data
 to
 the system, so as to help others using the system to get an overview of
 the
 status of any given project.

 I have already gotten a lot of really useful feedback, but if you see
 something you'd like to change, either shoot me an email here on the
 comdev
 list, or commit a change to the system in svn.

 With regards,
 Daniel.

Re: Apache Reporter Service

[Lefty Leverenz]

Way cool!  I just tried Fetch releases from JIRA and now it shows Hive
releases starting with 0.3.0 in 2009.

One technical glitch, though:  release 0.9.0 is near the top of the y-axis
and then 0.10.0 drops down to the bottom.  After 0.14.0 there's a jump up
to the top with 1.0.0.

Apparently the release number is being treated as decimal notation.

 Kudos, Daniel!  Great idea.

 Question 1:  How can RMs add release data if they aren't PMC members?
   (This might be answered by your most recent message.)

 They can't, which is why the email sent to people that push to dist says
 to contact a PMC member to add a release.
 They can, if you use JIRA, push a release tag there and have a PMC just
 auto-update the lot once every quarter.


 Questions 2  3:  Do the chart timelines advance week-by-week or
 month-by-month?  How often is the template refreshed?  The #emails sent
 in
 the past 3 months and in the previous cycle confused me -- does a cycle
 mean a reporting cycle or just a moving 3-month period?

 Charts advance weekly. The comparison is not related to the reporting
 cycle, but is always the past 3 months compared to the 3 before that.
 If you use the service a few days before submitting a board report, the
 data should be accurate :)


 As a longer-term suggestion, could the submitted reports get pumped back
 into the Apache Reporter Service and displayed for public access, charts
 and all?  'Cuz I'm naturally curious about other projects.

 All board reports are public on the foundation web site already.

 With regards,
 Daniel.

  Pretty cool.

 A couple of suggestions:

 1) if the release dates could be kept up-to-date from versions marked in
 JIRA as released with a date (
 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO/?
 selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:versions-panel),
 that'd be really cool.

  There is now a link called Fetch releases from JIRA which will fetch
 release info from there :)

 With regards,
 Daniel.


  2) If the system could send a reminder about upcoming report deadlines,
 that'd be cool, too (maybe even expose them as ical, so we can see them
 in
 any calendar app).

 3) It'd be really neat if one could fill in the missing bits into a
 field,
 and click submit to email directly from the interface.

   Hi folks,

 as some of you will have noticed, either by the commits I just made or
 conversations going on elsewhere, I have started work on a new helper
 system for PMCs called the Apache Reporter Service. This is sort of an
 external addition to Whimsy, and shows various statistics and data for
 projects, designed to aid chairs (and other lurkers) in viewing and
 compiling data for board reports.

 The system is now live at: https://reporter.apache.org - you will need
 to
 be a PMC member of a project to view this site, and you will - in
 general -
 only be shown data for projects where you are on the PMC.

 The system will show you:
 - Your next report date and the chair of the project
 - PMC and committership changes over the past 3 months, as well as
 latest
 additions if 3 months ago
 - The latest releases done this quarter (if added by RMs)
 - Mailing list statistics: number of subscribers as well as number of
 emails sent this quarter and the previous
 - JIRA tickets opened/closed this quarter (if correctly mapped within
 the
 system)
 - A mock-up of a board report, with the above data compiled into it (to
 be
 edited heavily by the chair!)

 Quick-navigation (hot-links) can be done by using the LDAP name of a

Re: Some maturity model comments

Oh, duh, it's the maturity model.  Well, in context I found it confusing.

 *CO10*

 The project has a well-known homepage that points to all the information
 required to operate according to this model.


 If it means the Apache model, do most project home pages currently point
 to information about Apache operations?

  I think the LC50 is actually correct but could perhaps be phrased better
 
  My understanding was that the ASF owns the copyright for the collective

  copyright on their contributions but grant the ASF a perpetual license
 to
  their contributions

 I think that the wording should be expanded to mention both aspects.

 
  QU30:
 
  Agreed, some projects may not do anything that is attack prone or are
  likely only to be run such that any security is provided by whatever
  runtime they use and the security of that runtime is well beyond the
  purview of the project.
 
  Consensus building:
 
  Should there be a CS60 about the rare need for private discussions
 
  CS60:
 
  In rare situations (typically security, brand enforcement, legal and
  personnel discussions) the project may need to first reach consensus in
  private in which case the project should use their official private
  communications channel such that these rare private discussions are
  privately archived.  The outcomes of such consensus should where
 possible
  be discussed in public as soon as it is appropriate to do so.
 
  That isn't great wording but hopefully you get what I am trying to
 convey
  - projects should rarely discuss in private and any discussions should
  become public as soon as it is possible to do so

 LC20: do we need to explain what we mean by 'dependencies'? This has
 been a point of friction. Expand or footnote to the distinctions
 between essential and optional?
 
 LC50: the footnote seems wrong; the ASF does not own copyright,
 rather, the author retains, and grants the license.
 
 RE40: do you want to add an explicit statement that legal
 responsibility falls upon the head of the person who happened to run
 the build?
 
 QU20: Maybe we need to expands on 'secure'? Maybe this is too strong?
 What's wrong with building a product that is explicitly not intended
 for use attack-prone environments.
 
 QU40: Not all communities might agree. Some communities might see
 themselves as building fast-moving products. Some communities may lack
 the level of volunteer effort required to satisfy this. Does this make
 them immature, or just a group of volunteers with different
 priorities?
 
 IN10: I fear that a more detailed definition of independence is going
 to be called for here to avoid controversy.

This is off topic, but notice the 2013 copyright at the bottom of the page.
 Anyone know how to change that?
