Re: Looking for a Champion
Hi Tom The proposal looks pretty interesting on the technical level indeed, but when it comes to ASF it is more about building (or trying to guarantee) of community around a project so it can continue and evolve and does not die, in terms of the code being maintained and used Yes Incubator is about being an intermediate step for a project to come into the ASF, but it is more about helping an already existing community, which IMHO and from what I have seen from projects in the Incubator that initial community should be big enough (I would say at least three real active committers) to start proposing the project into the Incubator I have mentored a project before which was more than appealing technical wise and they already had big enough community (three committers) but by the time after just coming into the Incubator their availability severely changed and the project could not make it I would suggest to wait a bit and build more awareness about the project and get more enough people around and then continue with the proposal to ASF Incubator, if you would like and allow me I can help in that On Tue, May 7, 2013 at 4:01 AM, Tom Everett wrote: > Thank-you.

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.

Re: Looking for a Champion
The ASF is home to a number of web frameworks (e.g. Struts, Wicket, Tapestry, Sling, MyFaces, Click, ...). Have you thought of contributing to one of those instead of creating a completely new framework? What was the outcome? Are there cross-pollination possibilities? If your goals match with the goals of one of these projects, it could be easy to find a champion for you from one of these communities. Uli On 07.05.2013 04:01, Tom Everett wrote: > Thank-you.

Re: Looking for a Champion
First I have to say that the project looks really interesting, even the proposal seems to me good (little side note: I think you should mention the use of cryptography [1]). I agree with what Mohammad pointed out: "Community over Code". I don't know if there are some match points between Struts and your project (S2 is more an action based FW), but we can talk about it. If you want, count on me as initial committer.

The goal of the champion's role clarification was to have a single point of contact and responsibility for contacts with the incubator PMC - similar to a project's PMC chair role. So basically you have: A champion, who's a mentor, but also the primary point of contact with the IPMC, makes sure reports are done in time and watches the podling for lack of mentoring if that happens. Mentors, who are primarily tasked with coaching the podling. -Bertrand - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
Re: [META DISCUSS] talking about the overall state of this PMC
There was a consensus to add the Champion role, and we haven't even tried it seriously, and now you propose to eliminate it. That doesn't seem reasonable to me. I'd rather try to make it useful and then evaluate it. In other words, +1 to Bertrand. 'Holding mentors to their responsibility' as a completely generic concept is an idea that constantly fails to reach a consensus, due to the 'volunteer dilemma'. For others in this thread, I completely disagree that a monthly one line edit to the XML file or a one line email is an unreasonable burden. Any mentor, let alone champion, for whom that is an unreasonable burden should not have signed up in the first place. I am limiting myself to one message on this thread per day, at most, just so you all know.

I signed up to *mentor* not send silly heartbeat checks that exist because other podling's mentors failed to live up to their responsibility. This feels beyond the minimal governance necessary and a solution to the wrong problem. It'd helpful to say precisely what problem that this heartbeat is intended to solve, in that way, we are afforded the opportunity to propose an alternative solution - for example, by focusing on highlighting the problem mentors/podlings.

Re: [META DISCUSS] talking about the overall state of this PMC
The problem that most podlings I've been involved with, whilst having six mentors, have ended up with just me playing any part. On paper, it looks like these podlings are in a great place, in fact, they only have a single active mentor. What is wanted is to know who is, and who isn't active. To spot problems. Benson's idea is to say that a simple 'I'm here' message would really help the incubator PMC. I'd agree with that. The question is, who's job is it to track all this. Should the PMC go look and do all the leg-work, or should projects and their mentors take some of the load? Really, the more responsibility is centralised, the less the incubator will scale. Looking for ways that mentors can show their involvement is a good thing. I guess that could be automated (grep through mail archives for mentor email addresses each month), but until that happens, I'd say it would be a good thing for mentors/champions to take some of that load off the incubator PMC. It need merely be a reply to a Marvin 'are you there' email.

Hi Michael, If I am understanding your request correctly, you were listed as the Initial Committers when the Climate Proposal [1] was approved and you are wanting to have the right commit bits right? I just added you to incubator unix group, I see you are already added to climate group in asf-authorization-template. Try a commit to climate svn.

I'm not fond of to addressing social problems with technological solutions, but a quick automated report might be a useful pro-active tool for the IPMC.

Re: Looking for a Champion
Hi Ulrich, thanks for replying. My response will be a little longer here, but I think you've asked a really important question, so perhaps it deserves a good answer. I have personal experience implementing sites with Stuts2 and MyFaces. I did look at Click, and I have some experience with Sling, in the CQ-Jackrabbit world. Frankly, it would have been significantly easier to use existing technology than to implement yet-another-framework. However, I felt that the needs I had identified were best served with something new. Two of the needs I had identified where simplicity and maintainability. That's not to say that the existing frameworks are not simple or not maintainable; they just were not so in the terms that I needed. The sites I was working with were primarily UI code (JS, HTML5, CSS3), and needed minimal server-side support. That is, they didn't need all the generality and flexibility of a general purpose framework; they simply needed to be able to post a form, consume a JSON request and produce a JSON response, etc. The target audience is not J2EE programmers; it's UI programmers, or "browser programmers". An primary concern was the need for extreme simplicity. I wanted to be able to turn over applications to junior programmers, interns, or even UI programmers with minimal J2EE skills, to maintain. So, for example a Pragmatach app uses maven exclusively to build and produces a war file, rather than needing to run inside the context of server software (Play) or build with sbt. It's not hard to find juniors who can use maven, and deploy a war file. Additionally, I did heavily borrow ideas from other frameworks; the use of annotations from JSF and Struts2 for example. I wanted to be able to fully specify a controller in a single .java file, so rather than a "routes file" (Grails, Play), so I chose to specify routes as controller annotations and then sort them programmatically to produce a routes file. Once applications go live, they have to be operated. I felt that this was a missing aspect; there was a tendency to just build out applications and then hand them over to deploy and run, without providing in-application support to operate them in the real world. For that reason I included the Pragmatach runtime console, and built-in JMX support. I also wrote a statsd plugin; that technology is becoming quite popular. Finally, with respect to Click and Wicket, which are both very cool, I felt that they were trying to be full-featured frameworks which addressed both client-side and server-side needs. I was specifically trying to stay away from the client side, in order to impose no constraints whatever on the target audience; client-side programmers. I tried to provide strong server-side JSON and XML support, knowing that client-side programmers prefer to communicate with servers via Ajax & JSON, but I didn't want to go as far as binding data to widgets, for example.

Not really. It's a heartbeat/health-check like any other distributed, unreliable system.

Re: [META DISCUSS] talking about the overall state of this PMC
On a whole different direction, one way to "scale" is to shift from Incubator-managed podlings to Board-managed. The podling would effectively be a "TLP on probation". The Champion, Mentors, and Board would be providing oversight. I would posit that the Board is more capable of oversight than the IPMC. The Directors have signed up to spend a lot of time -- more than we expect of most volunteers. Not to mention the Board reviews 50+ reports every month. Another five won't kill the Board :-P Thus, I might suggest that a proposed-podling may want to try the above approach. (I dunno if the Board would agree, but somebody has to formally ask!)

Why does someone need to be in charge? The real problem is that we have five mentors four, or more, of which do not do the job to which they signed up for.

I'm hearing Benson's proposal accurately rephrased. We're pushing responsibilities which seemed "too much" for three or more mentors over to a single mentor and diluting the responsibilities into non-accountable tasks such as coaching. What I'm worried about is that were merely shuffling responsibilities around without really coming to a consensus as to what to do when volunteers don't do the job they signed up for. Until we have an answer for that we'll continuously have this conversation every other quarter as we shuffle responsibilities around again. The myth that we seem to be holding dear is that we cannot hold volunteers accountable for the tasks they signed up for. Maybe if we did hold volunteers accountable , they would take their responsibilities seriously and we would have a clearer picture as to what kind of help to expect as we discuss the IPMCs problems.

The Board would review, and would shut it down if it goes wrong. That is very different from stepping in to directly guide. If the probationary TLP is not functioning properly (mentors/champion/podling are not up to par), then it will get noticed. I think the IPMC doesn't really notice/correct for this, so yeah: that *is* my pre-supposition. I also think the Board is capable of doing this, rather than needing the IPMC layer between the podling and the Board. I also feel reporting directly to the Board is necessary education. And part of the difference is that the Board reviews/discusses the reports. The IPMC does not have any discussion. The shepherds may set off some discussion, so they are a good way to try and get some IPMC-level review/discussion going. Note: this approach absolutely follows your basic point: Mentors need to step up and do what they volunteered for. There is nobody to fill in for their absence, other than the probationary TLP itself. The Board certainly will not be doing any hand-holding. (and they might be a bit more ruthless than the IPMC) Cheers, -g - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

You're describing an dysfunctional Incubator PMC. Shepherds are a distraction from the fact that mentors are not doing their jobs and the IPMC seems unwilling to hold them responsible. > Note: this approach absolutely follows your basic point: Mentors need > to step up and do what they volunteered for.

(and they might be > a bit more ruthless than the IPMC) Because the mentors are not doing their jobs, the podlings, which are on probation projects to begin with, are now to be probationary top level projects, under those very same absent mentors, under the auspices of the Board, while the IPMC does what? Sorry, but that sounds like double secret probation. ;) How long is the board going to do this? This seems, to me, to be adding more obfuscation in an orthogonal direction to that of shuttling responsibilities over to champions. Both directions, imho, are distractions from the real hard work ahead. Just my 2 cents. :) Regards, Alan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
