Fwd: board: r25270 - /foundation/board/board_agenda_2010_10_20.txt
Hey all, I've added the resolution for the Thrift graduation to the Board's agenda (for the meeting on Wednesday). Brian: I've made some edits from your initial resolution to align it with our standard template. (mostly minor stuff, but added one para about bylaws/particiption). Where did you copy your original from before search/replace? I'd like to fix that source material. I note that Upayavira has been added. This is good; as Joe noted, having one or more Members on the PMC is a Good Thing. I would offer, too, but my contribution level ended up to be much less than I expected. My original interest was to bring Thrift into Subversion. That project got back-burnered a long while ago as we narrowed our features to get 1.7 out in any kind of timely fashion :-P So, I'll continue to subscribe to private@ and dev@ as a helpful Member, but I don't think it would be right to ask for a voting spot on the PMC.

Thus, projects still need to define their rules of operation. Until the Board decides to enforce some kind of standard/single set of bylaws/procedures across all PMCs, I think that paragraph should remain in the template.

Re: Ready to Graduate?
JSPWiki has lost a massive amount of steam in the last year or so due to committers lives interfering with contributions. No known cure exists for life, unfortunately. Simply put, I don't think anyone has the capacity right now to do the graduation. I do not know whether the situation will change. We have discussed this among ourselves, but have no real conclusions. Code-wise the only real showstopper is actually making a release. There's still some trickle of contributions coming in, but they're mostly only for the non-Apache releases we did a long time ago. Advice useful. /Janne On Oct 18, 2010, at 22:12 , Noel J.

Re: board: r25270 - /foundation/board/board_agenda_2010_10_20.txt
Hi Greg, For Shiro, we copied a referenced charter from the Incubator site listed here: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#tlp-resolution That section references a template and 3 projects from the 2006 Board minutes. I don't remember the template link being there at the time (maybe it was and I just missed it), so I think we used the OFBiz referenced charter as our template. I can't be sure if it was that, the Cayenne charter, or the actual template. But at least you know the potential 3 sources! In retrospect, a minor recommendation I'd have for the Incubator is that section is cleaned up to make the desired template very prominent and not listed as in-line text in a paragraph, and instead make the 3 example charters in-line text. People's eyes are naturally drawn to bulleted lists and will place more 'weight' on them than inline text. Also, those 3 examples are stated as good examples, so I inferred that the the Incubator implicitly approved them to be used as potential seeds for other projects (right or wrong as that may have been). My .02... Cheers, Les P.S. Congrats to Thrift!
