 EasyAnt Proposal

 The following presents the proposal for creating a new EasyAnt project
 within the Apache Software Foundation.

 = Abstract =

 Easyant is a build system based on Apache Ant and Apache Ivy.

 = Proposal =

 EasyAnt goals are :

 * to leverage popularity and flexibility of Ant.
 * to integrate Apache Ivy, such that the build system combines a
 ready-to-use dependency manager.
 * to simplify standard build types, such as building web applications, JARs
 etc, by providing ready to use builds.
 * to provide conventions and guidelines.
 * to make plugging-in of fresh functionalities easy as writing simple Ant
 scripts as Easyant plugins.

 To still remain adaptable,

 * Though Easyant comes with a lot of conventions, we never lock you in.
 * Easyant allows you to easily extend existing modules or create and use
 your own modules.
 * Easyant makes migration from Ant very simple. Your legacy Ant scripts
 could still be leveraged with Easyant.

 = Rationale =

 On the Ivy and Ant mailing list, an often asked question is Why Ivy is not
 shipped with Ant ?. Ant users (and some opponents) complains also about the
 bootstrapping of an Ant based build system: it is mainly about copying an
 existing one. EasyAnt is intended to response to both of these requirements:
 a prepackaged Ant + Ivy solution with standard build script ready to be
 used.

 Also taking inspiration from the success of Apache Maven, EasyAnt is
 adopting the convention over configuration principle. Then it could be
 easy to build standard project at least for all commons steps (no more need
 to reinvent the wheel between each projects). The common part should be
 easy enough to tune parameters without having deep ant knowledge (example
 changing the default directory of sources, force compilation to be java 1.4
 compatible, etc...).

 Last but not least, EasyAnt is intended to provide a plugin based
 architecture to make it easy to contribute on a specific step of the build.
 Build plugins are pieces of functionality that can be plugged into or
 removed from a project. Plugins could actually perform a piece of your
 regular build, e.g. compile java classes during build of a complete war. Or,
 do a utility action, e.g. deploy your built web application onto a packaged
 Jetty server!

 = Current Status =

 == Meritocracy ==

 Some of the core developers are already committers and members of the Apache
 Ant PMC, so they understand what it means to have a process based on
 meritocracy.

 == Community ==

 EasyAnt have a really small community (around 100 downloads per release). It
 is not a problem as the team is currently making restructuring changes. The
 team plans to make more promotion after those changes and strongly believe
 that community is the priority as the tool is designed to be easy to use.

 == Core Developers ==

 Xavier Hanin and Nicolas Lalev ¡ ée are members of the PMC of Apache Ant.
 Jerome Benois is an Acceleo committer, he was a committer in Eclipse MDT
 Papyrus for two years and he's an active contributor in Eclipse Modeling and
 Model Driven community. He's a committer on Bushel project now contribute to
 the Ivy code base. He leads the EasyAnt for Eclipse plugin development.
 Jason Trump is leading Beet project on sourceforge
 (http://beet.sourceforge.net/).
 Jean-Louis Boudart is Hudson committer.

 == Alignment ==

 EasyAnt is based on Apache Ant and Ivy. Being part of Apache could help for
 a closer collaboration between projects.
 The team plans to reinject as much as possible stuff into Ant or Ivy like
 they've done in the past on :
 * extensionPoint : kind of IoC for targets (Ant)
 * import/include mechanism (Ant)
 * module inheritance (Ivy)

 = Known risks =

 == Orphaned products ==

 Jean-Louis Boudart is the main developer of EasyAnt. Other developers got
 interested in this project and are now touching to every aspect of EasyAnt.
 Thus the risk of being orphaned is quite limited.

 == Inexperience with Open Source ==

 Many of the committers have experience working on open source projects. Two
 of them have experience as committers on other Apache projects.

 == Homogenous Developers ==

 The existing committers are spread over a number of countries and employers.

 == Reliance on Salaried Developers ==

 None of the developers rely on EasyAnt for consulting work.

 == Relationships with Other Apache Products ==

[VOTE] Release Apache Chemistry cmislib 0.4 incubating

2011-01-25 Thread Jeff Potts
Incubator PMC members,

The cmislib sub-project of Apache Chemistry is ready for its first release 
since joining the Chemistry project. On behalf of the Chemistry dev team, I'd 
like to ask your approval to release the packages referenced below as Chemistry 
cmislib 0.4 incubating.

The release has passed the Chemistry PMC vote: http://bit.ly/eqXU2X

During the vote, 1 IPMC vote was collected (Nick Burch), so we need 2 more IPMC 
+1 votes to proceed with the release.

You can find the main release candidate artifacts (for distribution at 
apache.org/dist) at:
http://people.apache.org/~jpotts/chemistry/cmislib/0.4/dist

These artifacts represent what is currently in cmislib head.

The vote is open for 72 hours so please cast your votes!

[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache Chemistry cmislib 0.4 incubating
[ ] -1 Do not release this package because...

Thanks,

Jeff

 All,
 
 Please review our proposal for moving the Lucene.Net project back to

 Lucene.Net is currently a Lucene sub-project, however, for reasons
 detailed in the proposal and various mailing list discussions, we have
 decided that a move back to the Incubator, with the intent of future
 graduation as a TLP is the best for the Lucene.Net project.
 
 We are pleased to say that Grant Ingersoll has agreed to be our
 Champion for this proposal, however we are still in need of Mentors

 = FINAL =
 'Subitted on Wednesday, January 12th, 2011'
 
 = Lucene.Net - A .NET port of Lucene =
 == Preface ==
 Lucene.Net is a sub-project which is being spun off from the Lucene
 TLP but is not yet ready for graduation. We propose to address certain
 needs of the project by transitioning to an Incubator Podling.
 
 == Abstract ==
 Lucene.Net will be a port of the Lucene search engine library, written
 in C# and targeted at .NET runtime users.
 
 == Proposal ==
 Lucene.Net has three aims. First, it will maintain the existing
 line-by-line port from Java to C#, fully automating and commoditizing
 the process such that the project can easily synchronize with the Java
 Lucene release schedule. Second, it will be a high-performance C#
 search engine library. Third, it will maximize its usability and power
 when used within the .NET runtime. To that end, it will present a
 highly idiomatic, carefully tailored API that takes advantage of many
 of the special features of the .NET runtime.
 
 == Background ==
 Lucene.Net, began as a independent project focused on creating a
 line-by-line, API for API port of Java Lucene to C#. It continued
 successfully in this way and eventually became a ASF Incubator project
 in April of 2006 and graduated as a sub-project of Lucene in October
 of 2009.
 
 The last year has been challenging for the project. The committers who
 originally lead the project have stopped maintaining it and
 development has stagnated since June of 2010. The user community has
 spoken out requesting a change in philosophy and direction for the
 project, but those requests have been unheeded. This has led to a
 number of forks outside of the ASF. We would like to bring those forks
 back in as branches and be responsive to the needs of community
 without the need for multiple non-ASF forks.
 
 The Lucene PMC wants to see the project continue to thrive and has
 indicated that a return to the Incubator is an appropriate step, with
 the end goal to build of building a new team of committers and
 maintaining a steady release cycle meeting the previously stated
 goals. Because Lucene is working to move away from being an umbrella
 project, a long term goal of the Lucene.Net project is to graduate to
 an ASF TLP.
 
 == Rationale ==
 There is great need for a search engine library in the mode of Lucene
 within the .NET runtime. Individuals naturally wish to code in their
 language of choice. Organizations which do not have significant Java
 expertise may not want to support Java strictly for the sake of
 running a Lucene installation. Developers may want to take advantage
 of C#'s unique language features and the .NET runtime's unique
 execution and interoperability model. Lucene.Net will meet all these
 demands.
 
 Apache is a natural home for our project given the way it has always
 operated: user-driven innovation, lively and amiable mailing list
 discussions, strength through diversity, and so on. We feel
 comfortable here, and we believe that we will become exemplary Apache
 citizens.
 
 == Initial Goals (to be completed before Feb 2011) ==
 * Build a new list of committers
 * Make a 2.9.2 compatible release as quickly as possible (this
 already exists, it just needs to be packaged correctly)
 * Update website, documentation, etc.
 * Create a well documented repeatable and fully automated language
 porting process
 * Start a .NET style API branch, either by incorporating some or
 all existing fork projects or by starting a new branch to this end
 
 == Current Status ==
 === Meritocracy ===
 We understand meritocracy and will fully embrace this concept in our
 project management methodology. One of the proposed committers, DIGY,
 has been a committer on the current Lucene.Net project since November
 2008. Prescott Nasser has been a contributor on the project,
 submitting patches, documentation, and website enhancements. Three of
 the other proposed initial committers, Troy Howard, Chris Currens and
 Sergey Mirvoda are both already actively involved in other open source
 projects, either as committers of code
