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 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 or in coordination roles. Troy, Chris, Sergey and Prescott are currently committers on a Lucene.Net fork known as Lucere, and as such are intimately familiar with the code base and share a vision for the future direction of the project. Scott Lombard and Michael Herndon are passionate about Lucene.Net as well and have already
[ANNOUNCE] Apache PhotArk M3-incubating released
The Apache PhotArk team is pleased to announce the release of Apache PhotArk M3-incubating. Apache PhotArk will be a complete open source photo gallery application including a content repository for the images, a display piece, an access control layer, and upload capabilities. The idea is to have a rigid design for the content repository with a very flexible display piece. The images in the content repository will be protected with granular access control. PhotArk gallery currently allows you define and manage a set of albums hosted local into the content repository and provides a default web UI for album navigation. PhotArk also supports creating and deploying your own photo gallery into Google AppEngine cloud infrastructure. For full details about the release and to download the distributions please go to: http://incubator.apache.org/photark/photark-downloads.html Apache PhotArk welcomes your help. Any contribution, including code, testing, contributions to the documentation, or bug reporting is always appreciated. For more information on how to get involved in Apache PhotArk visit the website at: http://incubator.apache.org/photark/ Thank you for your interest in Apache PhotArk!

It's only going to be considered if the group wishes to move to a permissive license, e.g. the Apache License, and that will only happen with everyone's (each of the previous authors') consent. So GPL v3 or v2 is irrelevant, although it seems like a worthwhile discussion amongst yourselves, if moving to GPLv3 is a possibility that would also take all of the authors' consent. The only alternative is to remove and replace all of the bits authored by non-consenting authors or those who cannot be located, unless they had assigned copyright and the right to relicense to the steering committee. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
Re: [VOTE] Release Apache ManifoldCF 0.1 incubating, RC8
About 5 hours after ant voted, a user discovered that a problem we'd thought was fixed in RC8 is still in fact present, albeit in a slightly different form. The community is trying to figure out if this should mean a new RC or not. We did triage the problem initially as a release blocker. The main downside of a new RC is getting a quorum to evaluate and vote on it in the incubator. This part of the process took two weeks for RC8. The issue is CONNECTORS-148. Any advice is welcome.
