Adding incubator project as group target in https://reviews.apache.org/dashboard/

2011-07-25 Thread Henry Saputra 
Hi All,

I would like to add incubator podling as a group target in the
https://reviews.apache.org/dashboard/. Should I just open INFRA ticket
for this or is this something I could do myself?

I dont see the options to add new group with my account.

Thanks,

For this proposal, "odf" is correct.  But I am open to other names for
the project, since "The Apache ODF Toolkit" is rather long.  If we
want Dutch towns, maybe "Apache Gouda"?  That would result in a logo
that even I, with my limited graphics skill, could design ;-)

This proposal was sent to the Apache Incubator list a week ago.  It
was suggested that the PDFBox and Tiki projects should be contacted as
well, to make members aware of this proposal.

If you have comments, please follow up to general@incubator.apache.org.

Please forward the proposal as you see fit.

Meanwhile, I'm only seeing positive responses.  If we call for a vote
in 72 hours (late morning EDT on Thusrday) is that enough time for

I believe Maven artifacts are only distributed for the ease of use as
another optional alternative for users to use, and once they are
distributed they need to satisfy certain criteria. But it is not a
MUST to have them.

Re: [PROPOSAL] ODF Toolkit for Incubation

2011-07-25 Thread Mohammad Nour El-Din 
+1 on the proposal

But comment though on the mailing lists you asked for, I updated them,
so would you please take a look. In brief the changes are:

1- You missed adding odf-private@ which is for Podling Project
Management Committee specific discussion which MUST be private.
2- For issues and CI notifications we use the dev@ for that purpose no
need to have their own mailing lists.

One last note, I believe you need to rename your mailing lists to be
deft-*. I could have done that but wanted to notify you first :).

Shall we cc the proposal to the Tika and PDFBox dev lists? These
projects are listed in the "Relationships" section and there may be
interest on their side too.

Hi,

thanks for your feedback!
@Scott: I think so too. Synchrious communication could become an
standard feature of Social Networking Platforms. Lets see if there is
an API in Rave for integration.

 We would like to propose Openmeetings project to join the incubator.

 Full Proposal:
 http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenmeetingsProposal

 Quick summary:
 OpenMeetings is Web Conferencing application that fits into
 educational or business sector. You can make conference sessions in
 different room-types with up to 100 peoples in a Room. It contains all
 main features of Web Conferencing: Audio/Video, Whiteboard, Screen
 Sharing, Chat and Moderation System. It is translated into more then
 30 languages and its a basic goal of OpenMeetings to be easy to embed
 into existing environments. It already uses many of Apache
 Technologies like Tomcat, Mina, Velocity, Commons, ...

 As you can see below the last time we did the proposal we had
 Hibernate in our software stack, we did refactor the hole project and
 use openJPA now.
 So that one should be no more blocker to it.
 Red5 is used like a Servlet container and licensed under the LGPL,
 Red5 can be obtained for example from the Debian Repository:
 http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/red5-server

 You may find all existing documents and further material on the
 GoogleCode pages: http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/

 We appreciate any feedback and comments on the proposal.
