In particular, a large chunk of the ongoing LibreOffice team are against this proposal, and I'd be happier being on good terms with the rest of the OSS world than with anyone else. * A code dump without the oracle engineering team is going to be a hard thing to work with. If the majority of people who work on the ASF codebase are IBM FTEs, the knowledge of the codebase doesn't spread, and when IBM decide to re-assign the engineers (as has happened with Axis and Harmony), the knowledge of the code will go away. Sanjiva can vouch for that, having helped pick up the pieces of one of those projects (and done a good job of it :) * It's a mass-market consumer OSS project on a par with firefox, not the developer-centric tooling or server-side platforms we've historically been involved in. If my mother has a problem with OpenOffice on her (Ubuntu 10.4) laptop, I can't tell her to download SVN trunk and debug the problem then submit a patch, as she can't even get the font settings right in Yahoo! mail to stop it sending emails out in Courier 36. * Although it's key download bandwidth may be on Windows, it is the key office-compatible platform in the Linux world, which is why I run it on all my office PCs. That bandwidth doesn't get measured, as it comes from the RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, SuSE and, um, Oracle repositories. Linux hasn't suffered by being GPL, and IBM are happy to work within that license constraint, so why not say you want to stay on the trunk of the open-office derivative works? Embrace GPL! * I don't see why the ASF should do Oracle any favours, not given their past behaviour w.r.t the Java TCK, and their apparent willingness to sue google on what may be apparent patent issues within the Apache codebase. You can't sue someone over one bit of code and then at the same time say let's be friends, on what may be just a way to gain some tax kickback by donating a half-dead brand to an open source project. * I've not been happy with some of the discussions here were some of the evangelists of the proposal -who have never been seen on any ASF project I've ever encountered- suddenly seem to be knowledgeable about Apache's goals and intentions that myself. I get the feeling the ASF is being used as one of those pawns in a technology cold war we'll trade Cuba for Hungary. Case in point: press releases announced this before anything else, implies to me a propaganda effort rather than progress. The momentum is with TdF, that's where its home should be, and the ASF, Oracle and IBM should accept and acknowledge that fact. -Steve - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

ManifoldCF: Another mentor needed?
Hi, The ManifoldCF project just lost Grant Ingersoll as a mentor, who resigned last Tuesday. ManifoldCF has been incubating since January 2010 and basically provides a framework and connectors for synchronizing content from a set of repositories to a set of target search engines, with security. Although Tommaso Teofili joined recently, we could really use the full complement of three mentors, so I was wondering if there are any additional interested parties wanting to function in this capacity for ManifoldCF.

But against that, why have we been offered it in the first place?

I just added the incubator status page. Due to the high number of committers, would it be ok to add the committer names once the (iclas accounts) are fine? Would like to avoid names in the list, who have thought to step up, but then declined for some reason later. I am referring to the project as OpenOffice.org, not as OpenOffice.

Re: [VOTE] Accept OpenOffice.org for incubation
I see this is too late to count but I offer my thoughts anyway. It was already late before it lurked in an outbox for a while. [-1] (non-binding) Vote to reject the OpenOffice.org PROPOSAL I reject the proposal not the community or the project. I am still a bit of an open source newb and do not have a long history with either the code base, IP issues or the community. Please be free to correct or work around my misapprehensions. Please accept my remarks as offered in the spirit of contribution to the proposal's goal of continuing the creation, as a community, [of] the leading international office suite. I am a TDF contributor but that is not the reason I reject the proposal as it stands. I am powerfully drawn to contribute to ASF and the OO project, despite my preference for an LGPL license. [1] I do not see the primary goals and interests of the Apache OpenOffice.org community and the TDF community as divergent. I believe that all open source branches of the OpenOffice family tree (linked by their still mostly common code base) will thrive best when they all thrive. The primary reasons I must reject this proposal (not the project!) come from my understanding of ASF and from a few years of maintenance development on a large old app: 1) The Rationale doesn't work for me at all: Both Oracle and ASF agree that the OpenOffice.org development community, previously fragmented, would re-unite under ASF to ensure a stable and long term future for OpenOffice.org. -1A) This sentence speaks for ASF. I have seen several emails where this is frowned upon within the Apache community, but I will assume the true Sponsor (the Incubator) can speak as ASF through the proposal (back to itself?). A bit convoluted for the Rationale. More to the point is TDF's first value: We commit ourselves to eliminate the digital divide in society by giving everyone access to office productivity tools free of charge to enable them to participate as full citizens in the 21st century. -- http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Next_Decade_Manifesto -1B) The 're-uniting a fragmented development community' meme is disingenuous or just plain wrong. The permissive nature of the Apache license is called pragmatic because it is intended to allow and encourage a variety of proprietary downstream development branches: this is a fragmentation of development effort, nu? Also, LibreOffice development with its maturing timed release schedule and replacement of OpenOffice in many Linux distros is neither a figment nor a fragment. -1C) The Rationale for the project might simply change 'agree' to 'intend' and 'would re-unite' to 'could re-unite' to break down the resemblance to the Borg's infamous 'assumed close' technique. [2] 2) The Meritocracy section is broken. Apache was chosen specifically because Oracle as contributor, and IBM as Sponsor [...] want to encourage this style of development for the project. Leaving aside the veracity, what does IBM as Sponsor mean? The Incubator site says the Sponsor must be part of Apache - here the true Sponsor is the Apache Incubator. And I don't think 'IBM as Sponsor of ASF' works either. Open, democratic and transparent aren't about style - they are requirements for success and graduation. 3) The missings: 3A) Initial Goals section: It is sudden (tho' not surprising), a bit of a mess, all new and there is a lot to sort out. The Initial Goals could be a series of assertions of 'by when' critical aspects will get sorted out. -- Accessible, buildable repo: Unless it's just about to happen, this is initial goal 1. -- If the build system, code, artwork, etc have IP issues that make a dev repo unavailable then they become goal 0. -- Germ of Release Plan: Release what? when? OK, then: By when goals set = initial goal -- Idea of Core Team: how many FTers? From where? How many others to balance as community? Enough in #? Enough in coverage? How many community + non-sponsored developers to balance that into a community project? (by when have #s) 3B) There is other suggested content here -- http://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal.html -- that appears to be germane in this case of a large, established (OO has code older than Apache) project with a history checkered by 'management issues'. 3C) The Community section is missing translators, help/doc and only lists users and only infers the presence of national orgs with supporter[sic], promoters, trainers, consultants, e.g., an extended ecosystem. In fact, the whole Community section reads like a business analysis: it speaks almost entirely about various releases. And as either a business analysis or community description it fails to mention the centralizing OOo brand. The flaws in Rationale, Meritocracy and Community with missing Initial Goals all add up to this stopper: -- The proposal doesn't just have hat problems, it looks like the case of The Wrong Trousers.

Send a message to ooo-dev-subscr...@incubator.apache.org and reply to the automated response. That will subscribe you to the dev list, which is where the bulk of the conversations relating to Apache OpenOffice.org belong. If you wish to subscribe to the other lists, simply substitute the name for dev in the above prescription: ie ooo-commits-subscr...@incubator.apache.org, ooo-issues-subscr...@incubator.apache.org etc. - Original Message From: Andy Brown a...@the-martin-byrd.net To: general@incubator.apache.org Sent: Mon, June 13, 2011 3:07:07 PM Subject: Re: OpenOffice.org next steps Joe Schaefer wrote: Lists are now available: ooo-{dev,commits,issues,notifications,private}@incubator.apache.org The private list should only be subscribed to by folks who have already submitted an ICLA and account request id to Sam.

Hi Robert, thanks for your mail ... one may notice that my reply is a bit late, so I'm glad that I disclaimer-ed the available time in advance *g* So, if anybody is still interested in this topic, here we go ...

I'll try to add a personal judgment how important I think these information are in the mid- to long-term. ISSUE TRACKER CONTENT Description: The complete content of the OOo issue tracker including all votes, attachments and keywords. Rationale: Many development decisions and also (partly) specifications are documented within the issue tracker. Furthermore, there is a basic vote system to enable community members to highlight issues to be worked on (from their POV).

More detailed, OpenOffice.org sends (if the user permits) usage statistics to a server hosted by Oracle in Hamburg. This closed-source backend both receives the data and transforms it, so that (e.g.) the User Experience team is able to analyze it. Important is both the backend (for analyzing changes in OpenOffice.org) and the already available data (for development reasons). Rationale: Due to the complexity of OpenOffice.org, the usage data is very important for design decisions that affect a majority of the user base (e.g. UI changes). Source (basic documentation, no backend source code): http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/OpenOffice.org_User_Feedback_Program Importance: High Note: * A plain export (numbers) is less sufficient, since it doesn't contain dependencies between the individual recorded user actions. * I'm not sure who might be contacted, but maybe the Oracle guys on this list can shed some light on that (that would be great!) USER SURVEY STRUCTURE AND CONTENT Description: The User Experience Team did several user surveys and collected an incredible amount of user feedback (approx. 3 million filled-out questionnaires). Thus, this item refers to both the user survey structure (can be exported), and the data. Importance: Mid-High Source (no code): * User Survey: http://surveys.services.openoffice.org * Description: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Renaissance:Phase_1#Who_are_our_users.3F Note: * The acquired data contains (helpful) text comments that may contain personal information. So if there are any legal concerns, the non-text data would be sufficiently helpful. * I have been told that a plain export from withing LimeSurvey doesn't work with the given number of data sets - so there is a need to do an export of the underlying database. SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Description: Specification documents that describe the behavior of OpenOffice.org or intended feature enhancements Rationale: Required to ensure consistent changes within OpenOffice.org. Usually, the specification documents contain essential information / requirements.

[PROPOSAL] Bigtop for the Apache Incubator
Hi, I would like to propose Bigtop to be an Apache Incubator project. Bigtop is a project for the development of packaging and tests of the Hadoop ecosystem. The goal is to do testing at various levels (packaging, platform, runtime, upgrade, etc...) developed by a community with a focus on the system as a whole, rather than individual projects. Here's a link to the proposal on the wiki http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BigtopProposal I've also included the initial contents below. Cheers, Tom = Bigtop - Apache Hadoop Ecosystem Packaging and Test = == Abstract == Bigtop - a project for the development of packaging and tests of the Hadoop ecosystem. == Proposal == The primary goal of Bigtop is to build a community around the packaging and interoperability testing of Hadoop-related projects. This includes testing at various levels (packaging, platform, runtime, upgrade, etc...) developed by a community with a focus on the system as a whole, rather than individual projects. Build, packaging and integration test code that depends upon official releases of the Apache Hadoop-related projects (HDFS, MapReduce, HBase, Hive, Pig, ZooKeeper, etc...) will be developed and released by this project. As bugs and other issues are found we expect these to be fixed upstream. == Background == The initial packaging and test code for Bigtop was developed by Cloudera to package projects from the Apache Hadoop ecosystem and provide a consistent, inter-operable framework. == Rationale == Hadoop defines itself as: {{{ The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. Hadoop includes these subprojects: * Hadoop Common: The common utilities that support the other Hadoop subprojects. * HDFS: A distributed file system that provides high throughput access to application data. * MapReduce: A software framework for distributed processing of large data sets on compute clusters. }}} There are also several other Hadoop-related projects at Apache. Some TLP examples include HBase, Hive, Mahout, ZooKeeper, and Pig. There are also several new projects in the Incubator such as HCatalog and Sqoop. There is limited interoperability testing done the projects themselves. The intent of this project is to build a community where the projects are brought together, packaged, and tested for interoperability. Projects such as Apache Whirr (incubating), which deploy and use a collection of Hadoop-related projects, would benefit from the interoperability testing done by Bigtop, rather than picking and testing project combinations themselves. == Initial Goals == Much of the code for Bigtop has been released by Cloudera under the Apache 2.0 license for over two years. Some current goals include: * create a set of packages for the Hadoop ecosystem, over a wide range of platforms * interoperability test these projects * document project sets that are known to work well together Bigtop’s release artifact would consist of a single tarball of packaging and test code that, when built, would produce source and binary Linux packages for the upstream projects. = Current Status = == Meritocracy == Bigtop was originally developed and released as an open source packaging infrastructure, CDH, by Cloudera. == Community == The community is primarily the original developers at Cloudera, however a number of contributions to the packaging specifications have been accepted from outside contributors. Growing a diverse community is the main reason to bring Bigtop to the Apache Incubator. == Core Developers == The core developers for Bigtop project are: * Andrew Bayer has extensive expertise with build tools, specifically Jenkins continuous integration and Maven. * Peter Linnell has contributed to the RPM packaging. * Bruno Mahé has overseen much of the development of the RPM and Debian packaging system. * Roman Shaposhnik designed and implemented the system testing framework. Many of the committers to the Bigtop project have contributed towards Hadoop or related Apache projects (Alejandro Abdelnur, Eli Collins, Patrick Hunt, John Sichi, Michael Stack, Tom White) and are familiar with Apache principals and philosophy for community driven software development. == Alignment == We expect projects in Bigtop to be drawn from Hadoop and related projects at Apache. Bigtop will complement these projects (Hadoop, Pig, Hive, HBase, etc...) by providing an environment for contributors interested in building more complex data processing pipelines to work together integrating more than a single project into a well tested whole. = Known Risks = == Orphaned Products == The contributors are leading vendors of Hadoop-based technologies and have a long standing in the Hadoop community. There is minimal risk of this work becoming non-strategic and the contributors are confident that a larger community will form within the project in a relatively short space of time. == Inexperience with Open Source ==
