[PROPOSAL] 3 month deadline on CLA item

2011-08-01 Thread Henri Yandell
As can be seen elsewhere, I'm on a self-given mission to clean up the
history of podlings by getting them to sign off on the following
checklist item:

"Check and make sure that the papers that transfer rights to the ASF
been received. It is only necessary to transfer rights for the
package, the core code, and any new code produced by the project. "

I view this as the first item that a podling should be dealing with,
along with setting up the committers and getting that first codebase
in. By comparison, a website is a nice to have and community is just
icing.

Proposal time.

In parallel to cleaning up history, I'd like to stop the rot going
forward. I'd like to propose that each new podling has 3 months (or
another calendar length if that feels too short/too long) to get the
checklist item signed off. I'm partial to 3 months as we would make
them report monthly until they have the item signed off, perhaps with
6 months as a 'do we retire the podling?' checkpoint.

Thoughts?

Re: Podlings needing copyright sign-off

rfrovarp@ is going to take care of Droids.

I've pinged rgass@ and stroucki@ as recent Tashi committers to get it
sorted, and fitzner@ as the recent Etch committer.

Olio sounds like a subject of its own to discuss.

Re: [VOTE] Release HCatalog 0.1-incubating (RC1)

2011-08-01 Thread Ashutosh Chauhan
There are two kind of jar files. One which HCatalog is adding itself
and others we are
inheriting from Hive project. Since Hive is TLP and has multiple
releases I am going to assume
I need not to worry about any of those jars and sources. I have
verified all the HCatalog dependencies are ASL.

./lib/libthrift.jar
./ivy/ivy-2.2.0.jar
./build/ivy/lib/hcatalog/commons-cli-1.0.jar
./build/ivy/lib/hcatalog/pig-0.8.0.jar
./build/hcatalog/hcatalog-0.1.0.jar

So, I think I need not to bother about Notice.txt either since
anything other then Hive dependencies are ASL.

Patrick, correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Ashutosh

It would be nice if this fact were better known, so mentors-who-are-

Maybe a better wording of this message sent to private@incubator

Since most of the new account requests are for incubator projects,
perhaps add this to the message:


If you are mentoring an incubator podling and are not a pmc chair,
please send a request to infrastructure@ with the name of the
podling and the new committer and we'll be happy to add the

I think the correct process is someone who knows about the podling 
produces the diff, and if they can't apply it they should just email 
private@incubator to ask someone else to.


This is actually already documented on our own site:
  http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#who-auth-karma

"If no mentor has karma then an email should be posted to the IPMC private 
list requesting that the grant is performed. One of the IPMCers with karma 
will authorize the committer. "



If you are mentoring an incubator podling and are not a pmc chair, 
please send a request to infrastructure@ with the name of the podling 
and the new committer and we'll be happy to add the necessary karma for 
your new committer.


We don't need to bug infra though, we have enough people in the incubator 
who can do it. We just need to bug the right people here if needed.

If you could post the diff, then one of us who are also a PMC chair can

There are 30 PMC chairs on the Incubator PMC, which is more than enough
to sort its own authz needs without bugging infra every time.

Re: Karma to asf-authorization-template

2011-08-01 Thread Craig L Russell
This appears to be by design. The only folks who have rw access to the  
file are:

[/infrastructure/trunk/subversion/authorization]
@pmc-chairs = rw
@svnadmins = rw
@board = rw
@secretary = rw
svn = r
# apsite needs access to asf-authorization-template
apsiteread = r

So at the moment, it appears that karma is only for PMC chairs and a  
few select others.


I'd agree that incubator pmc members should be able to rw the file or  
we have a choke point (incubator pmc chair).


Maybe I'm reading this wrong...

Alas not, now the proposal has been accepted, that initial list is final

The good news is that as soon as the lists are set up, the podling would 
be able to vote you in. If you've been involved in the project before, 
that should be very quick, though for future new contributors it would 
normally wait until after they've submitted patches that everyone is happy

If you were involved in the project before, I'd suggest you join the dev

Incubator PMC/Board report for August 2011 (general@incubator.apache.org)

2011-08-01 Thread no-reply
Dear ODFToolkit Developers,

This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator 
PMC.
It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly
board report.

The board meeting is scheduled for  Wed, 17 August 2011, 10 am Pacific. The 
report 
for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator 
PMC 
requires your report to be submitted one week before the board meeting, to 
allow 
sufficient time for review.

Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC, and 
subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you 
should submit your report is one week prior to the board meeting.

Thanks,

The Apache Incubator PMC

Submitting your Report
--

Your report should contain the following:

 * Your project name
 * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the 
project
   or necessarily of its field
 * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards 
   graduation.
 * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of
 * How has the community developed since the last report
 * How has the project developed since the last report.
 
This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:

  http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/August2011

Note: This manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page is
  created from a template.

Mentors
---
Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the 
Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the 
project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator PMC.

I suggest this is going to be your biggest impediment to graduation.
Red5 is LGPL and thus incompatibly licensed.

Great. I've gone ahead and added the podling status page:

Next step is probably to get the lists setup, so we can use them to

Can I have a couple of volunteers to be moderators for the lists? (List

I'll contact people needing iCLAs shortly

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache OpenMeetings incubator for Web Conferencing

2011-08-01 Thread seba.wag...@gmail.com
Hi Ross,

the Serlvet Container is Red5 (which is a modified Tomcat Servlet
Container), you cannot run OpenMeetings without it.

For building the software, OpenMeetings implements some of the API
Interfaces of the Red5-Server. So you need at least the red5.jar available
at build time in order to produce a release... or you create some
Mock-Objects to simulate the API of the Servlet Container.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache OpenMeetings incubator for Web Conferencing

2011-08-01 Thread Ross Gardler
Great to see this proposal coming back again. If I remember correctly
there was some concern about whether the application could reasonably
expect to be made to tun without (L)GPL dependencies.

It's clear that you've already done a fair amount of work to remove
these dependencies, but the main sticking point was the servlet
container you were using. My recollection is that this is a runtime
dependency, not a build time one. However, if that is the case then
surely it could be run in any container. Is that the case?

If not then this dependency needs to be identified in the "External
Dependencies" section.

Please note, having a runtime dependency on incompatibly licensed code
does not prevent you from making releases, it just makes it harder for
people to install and also limits the range of people who are able to
install it.

Can you please clarify whether the application can run in any servlet
container or not.

Thanks.
Ross

 They are proposing to move to Theora/Vorbis, which is under a suitable
 license: http://www.vorbis.com/faq/#slic.  Would that be suitable for your
 needs?

 Agreed.
