Re: [Incubator Wiki] Update of HotdoGProposal by H. Joe Lee
Benson, HDF Group is a growing research industry originally seeded by NASA investments and now privately funded. HDF is the de facto scientific data file format for NASA, NOAA and other remote sensing missions. There are huge communities of people that use this software. The HDF group would like to use this opportunity to experiment with the Apache Incubator model after lots of prodding by people like me to get more scientific projects into Apache and to steward them here. While this project may be specific it has the opportunity to grow into a host of other downstream, very useful tools and capabilities, and furthermore, HDF Group has a ton of other software that could be potentially stewarded at the ASF, provided this experiment is useful. Hope that clarifies.

Hi Jordan, re the voting process see: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#best-practice-incubator-release-vote Also the other links to how to release type pages for other incubator projects. It will give you insight into the process and things like templates for emails and such. I think I forwarded you that previously, if you're having troubles with it let me or one of the other mentors know.

RE: [CANCEL] [VOTE] Release Apache Curator 2.0.0-incubating (updated)
Four suggestions: 1. Add a UID having your Apache ID, randgalt@ apache.org, in that PGP public-key certificate. You can indicate that it is your preference for code signing, if you desire. 2. Log into your randgalt@ a.o profile at https://id.apache.org/ and provide the fingerprint of your key as part of your profile. This will accomplish two things: (1) It establishes that the fingerprint was provided by someone having the ASF credentials for randgalt@ a.o; (2) it causes the public key to be added to a secure location as file https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/randgalt.asc. That file is regularly synchronized with PGP key services and confirms that it is the key provided by randgalt@ in step (1) and also reflects (web-of-trust) certifications of that key by others as well as any revocation if that becomes necessary. 3. BONUS RECOMMENDATION. Do not put a copy of the public key in the repository. Instead, put a link to https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/randgalt.asc there, if desired. If it is in a file called KEYS, update the instructions to refer to the locations in the committer keys folder. (If there will be many release managers and signers in the future, you can instead instruct users to obtain all Curator committer keys from https://people.apache.org/keys/group/curator.asc once Curator becomes an ASF top-level project.) 4. GRAND PRIZE RECOMMENDATION. For all external signatures that you create, add to the ascii-armored signature text (outside of the armor) a link to https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/randgalt.asc. The idea is to use access to your Apache profile as an additional factor beyond your self-signing of the certificate and any web-of-trust certifications of your certificate. It also lets those non-ASF folk who desire to verify signatures know whose signature the verification is expected to confirm and that the signer is an ASF committer. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Jordan Zimmerman [mailto:jor...@jordanzimmerman.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2013 13:39 To: general@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [CANCEL] [VOTE] Release Apache Curator 2.0.0-incubating (updated) That was (yet another) misunderstanding on my part.

Re: improve podling management and status information
David Crossley wrote: There is still some duplication of information for the status of each podling between the main file [1] and each podling status web page. We also need each podling to take more care of their status metadata. One aspect is the Sponsor/Champion/Mentors information. To reduce this duplication and out-of-date-ness, each podling status page could simply link to the central information, rather than repeat that in their status page. e.g. http://incubator.apache.org/projects/#allura http://incubator.apache.org/projects/#devicemap That page is automatically generated whenever someone edits the metadata summary file [1].

Incubator PMC/Board report for May 2013 ([ppmc])
Dear podling, 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, 15 May 2013, 10:30:00:00 PST. The report for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator PMC requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to allow sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, May 1st). 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 2 weeks 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/May2013 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.
