The accounts were already set up for you "gerdogdu" and for Conny Lundgren "conny" but not yet added to the Subversion authorisation. I just now did that, added the mentors "matzew,kevan", and also added SVN configuration for the "openwebbeans". Is that all correct? So now you should be okay to do that commit. -David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Fwd: Cassandra Open Source Hullabaloo / Project Management Proposal
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mr. Ian Holsman So let me get this straight you want to hijack the project from the original developers , so that you can run it at a larger scale in YOUR company ?? In a nutshell yes. The original developers have not been present on the list for at least a month, where they answered 1-2 questions. The 'patches' and contribution area of the project has been little better than dead since july. People have contributed patches, had them integrated into the original source, only to have them disappear in the next code that was 'thrown over' the wall from facebook. (one of the core developers words not mine). The last time we have seen any code on the project was in September. The have promised something 'coming soon' which will have features facebook thinks is important. This is without any real consultation done to the others on the list about those features. So overall I wouldn't call the project healthy, regardless of what the original intentions were. I had approached Avinash, about this over the last couple of months, where I heard that there was some internal issues at facebook that had prevented them working on it. This is no 'bomb' coming out of nowhere. They chose to ignore the message, and the natural outcome of this. I was approached by some other developers who were equally as frustrated by this as I was. They had already forked the code and had started their own development trees which had integrated the patches they wanted and moved on with their own work. I didn't like the direction I was seeing that heading (lots of people working on their own) so I proposed we put this forth as a incubator project so that the disparate developers can work on this together. They agreed so I volunteered to write the proposal and get the thing working. So these are the ethics that you have learnt after being associated with many so called cool open source projects, why should anyone put their blood and sweat into open source if scavengers like you are circling the skies of open source. very poetic. I am doing this to save the technology from what I feel will be it's own demise. you are free to call me a 'scavenger' if you wish, as I am trying to take the best bits of a dead project and do something useful with it. We could have just grabbed the idea (or go back to the original dynamo idea that it was built from) and started from scratch, would that be better than reusing the hard work already done? I don't bear any ill will towards the developers themselves, but to be honest I think they are in between a rock and a hard place. I think they would like to contribute more, but something inside their company is holding them back, and maybe they don't have the full support of their management. Maybe they can use this proposal to help them get more time to devote to the project so a fork might not be necessary, maybe it will stop facebook from contributing other projects in the future. I don't know. But right now I'm interested in reviving this project. At the moment this is just a proposal. The choice on whether the fork will be accepted into incubation will be made by developers like yourself, and they will use their own ethics and judgement on what is best. but to reiterate. - no code in at least 3 months. - patches from the community not accepted, or accepted and vanished in the 'development' code branch - decisions done behind closed doors, with little or no interaction with the community - little or no communication by the developers over the last month or two - code and features being 'thrown' to the open source community. These are my reasons for a fork. Ian Holsman. On Nov 15, 2:05 pm, Ian Holsman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: John Ryan wrote: Here is a good suggestion from Jesse that Avinash forwarded to me. Hi John. Firstly the name change was done out of respect, and to make sure that people don't get confused if/when the original cassandra becomes viable. There was no intention to not to acknowledge the people and company that originally donated the code. Have a look at the various graduated apache projects for evidence of that. Secondly if you guys think this proposal will work, go for it. But to me, I don't see how this addresses any of the fundamental problems occurring here. The main thing you need (imho) for a successful open source project is ownership by the community of all aspects of the project so that it can survive companies pulling out when their needs change. What is being proposed here is that another group (SCADS in this case) takes control of the open source side of a project, with the promise that they will merge the next code dump if it happens. In my eyes this still puts the non-facebook people into a 2nd class citizen role. It still has the core issue that there are 2 codebases, and major design changes will happen behind closed doors, like they are currently ha
[Proposal] Helenus - a Cassandra fork
Hi. Cassandra is a distributed p2p storage engine, very similar to 'hbase', but with several other qualities that make it better suited to use in a web-frontend type work. I'd like to propose a fork of the cassandra project. Since it was initially released by FaceBook, It hasn't really grown an active community around it. In the last couple of months there has been no activity, and there is a promise of a new code-drop in the next couple of months, and no real commitment (in my eyes) to commit the patches contributed by the community back into the tree. The 2 employees of facebook who were initially wrote the software seem to have been redeployed to another project, or have been given other priorities by their management, and as such the project seems dead for all purposes. Several people who plan to use the project in their companies have banded together and want to fork the project so that they keep the project alive, and build a community around it to grow it. I suggested we do this on the incubator, as it has experience building communities around code.

Update Incubator Status Page
Hi; I am the comitter of the recently incubator OpenWebBeans. I tried to do tasks that are explained in the http://incubator.apache.org/guides/website.html to update OpenWebBeans site (to put it into the site-author/projects/index.xml, and site-author/stylesheets/project.xml, also some updates in the site-author/projects/openwebbeans.xml), but when I tried to commit it gives the error : svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: MKACTIVITY of '/repos/asf/!svn/act/51fd909e-853a-4c12-83ff-c597a7a3379e': 403 Forbidden (https://svn.apache.org) I think, I have no permission to commit changes. Is it possible to get this permission? Thanks;
