Sending a completed chat protocol is just announcing the result of a discussion with only a few partners. Its very difficult to step up afterwards and of course difficult to read (imho). If I would be the ALOIS project, I would remove this chat from my wishlist and go with mailinglists only, what is the standard for all apache projects. Well put and I agree completely. However, this is a task for Mentors, and should not hold up the vote +1 from me.

[VOTE] Accept Gora into the Apache Incubator
Hi Folks, Over the past week or so we've been discussing the Gora project and bringing it into the Apache Incubator [1]. It's time to call a VOTE thread on the issue. Please VOTE below: [ ] +1 Accept Gora into the Apache Incubator. [ ] +0 Don't care. [ ] -1 Don't accept Gora into the Apache Incubator because... I'll leave the VOTE open for the remainder of the week (ending on 9/24). Here's my +1 (IPMC binding). [1] http://s.apache.org/MPw Cheers, Chris P.S. The wiki text for the proposal is pasted below. -- Gora Proposal for Apache Incubation Abstract Gora is an ORM framework for column stores such as Apache HBase and Apache Cassandra with a specific focus on Hadoop. Proposal Although there are various excellent ORM frameworks for relational databases, data modeling in NoSQL data stores differ profoundly from their relational cousins. Moreover, data-model agnostic frameworks such as JDO are not sufficient for use cases, where one needs to use the full power of the data models in column stores. Gora fills this gap by giving the user an easy-to-use ORM framework with data store specific mappings and built in Apache Hadoop support. The overall goal for Gora is to become the standard data representation and persistence framework for big data. The roadmap of Gora can be grouped as follows. * Data Persistence : Persisting objects to Column stores such as HBase, Cassandra, Hypertable; key-value stores such as Voldermort, Redis, etc; SQL databases, such as MySQL, HSQLDB, flat files in local file system of Hadoop HDFS. * Data Access : An easy to use Java-friendly common API for accessing the data regardless of its location. * Indexing : Persisting objects to Lucene and Solr indexes, accessing/querying the data with Gora API. * Analysis : Accesing the data and making analysis through adapters for Apache Pig, Apache Hive and Cascading * MapReduce http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/MapReduce support : Out-of-the-box and extensive MapReduce http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/MapReduce (Apache Hadoop) support for data in the data store. Background ORM stands for Object Relation Mapping. It is a technology which abstacts the persistency layer (mostly Relational Databases) so that plain domain level objects can be used, without the cumbersome effort to save/load the data to and from the database. Gora differs from current solutions in that: * Gora is specially focussed at NoSQL data stores, but also has limited support for SQL databases * The main use case for Gora is to access/analyze big data using Hadoop. * Gora uses Avro for bean definition, not byte code enhancement or annotations * Object-to-data store mappings are backend specific, so that full data model can be utilized. * Gora is simple since it ignores complex SQL mappings * Gora will support persistence, indexing and anaysis of data, using Pig, Lucene, Hive, etc Rationale ORM frameworks are nothing new. But with the explosion of data generated in Terabytes and even Petabytes, NoSQL data stores are gaining ever-increasing popularity. Coupled with limited support to already-proven Apache Hadoop support in current ORM frameworks, there was a need for a new project. Gora is currently hosted at Github. However, Gora has ties to ASF in many ways. As detailed in the proposal section, Gora will be a high level client for many Apache projects and subprojects including Hadoop(common, hdfs, and mapreduce), HBase, Cassandra, Avro, Lucene, Solr, Pig, and Hive. Gora already uses Hadoop, HBase, Cassandra and Avro. Moreover, Gora started its life inside Apache Nutch project, and now Nutch trunk uses Gora as a library. Even more, the initial set of committers are all ASF members. Therefore, we think that Apache will be an excellent home for Gora. Initial Goals Initial goals for Gora can be summarized as: * Iron out the remaining issues with HBase, Cassandra and SQL support. * Make the first release before the end of the year. * Improve documentation * Support for Cascading Current Status Meritocracy Current commit rights belong to the initial list of committers four of who are also ASF members. All the developers have extensive experience with Apache projects. We honor the meritocracy policy of ASF foundation. Community Gora’s community mostly overlap with that of Nutch, Hadoop, HBase, Avro and Cassandra. We have a small community for now (5 initial committers, 18 people tracking the project at Github), but have been piggybacking the Nutch community for a while. If Gora is accepted to Apache Incubator, we expect more traction. Moreover, with the increasing popularity of NoSQL databases, we expect more users. Core Developers Gora was started by the initial code base inside Apache Nutch by Doğacan Güney. Then Enis Söztutar has refactored and re-architected the project out of Nutch. Later Julien Nioche, Andrzej Bialecki and Doğacan has ported Nutch to use the newly formed project. Later, Sertan Alkan has joined. Doğacan and Julien are Nutch PMC members,
