Thanks for clarifying sebb,

The incubator docs aren't very clear in that respect.

I will correct it.

I assume it is

Is that correct?

Re: [Proposal] Taverna workflow

2014-09-23 Thread Marlon Pierce
Thanks, Stian, for submitting a well-developed proposal and for your 
interest in Apache. I have a few questions:


* Can you say more about why you want to take Taverna to the ASF?

* What is your strategy for increasing the diversity of your committer base?

* Do you have any third party dependencies in the Taverna core that have 
incompatible licenses (like GPL)?


* Would you like developer-contributed plugins to be covered within a 
future "Apache Taverna" project?


My main goal here is to give the Incubator community a little more 
background and foster discussion, which will be useful in attracting 
mentors, so don't worry about "right" or "wrong" answers.

I hereby present the Apache Incubator proposal for the project Taverna.

http://dev.mygrid.org.uk/wiki/display/developer/Taverna+incubator+proposal

(Could someone grant me access to edit the Incubator wiki pages? My
wiki username is soilandreyes)




# Abstract

Taverna is an open source and domain-independent suite of tools used
to design and execute data-driven workflows.


# Proposal

The Taverna suite includes:

* Taverna Workbench, a Java-based desktop application for graphically
composing, editing and executing workflows of distributed web services
and local tools
* Taverna Commandline Tool which allows repeated execution of
parameterized workflow definitions
* Taverna Server provides a REST and SOAP API for executing workflows
* Taverna Player is a Ruby-based web interface towards the Server,
providing a high-level view of workflow executions and their results,
and allows further integrations with Ruby on Rails applications.

Taverna can browse and combine different service types, allowing
workflows to integrate steps of arbitrary REST and SOAP web services
with command line tools (local and SSH), scripts (Beanshell, R,
Jython) and finally visualize the results.

The goal of the Taverna suite is to help researchers to access
distributed datasets and processing capabilities by the construction
of pipelines, and also to simplify the execution of  these pipelines
in various environments.

The Taverna suite of products is already successful and in wide-use
across different domains. The software is currently licensed as LGPL
2.1, with copyright owned by University of Manchester. External
contributors have all signed Apache-like CLAs.


# Background

Taverna workflows coordinate inputs and outputs between computational
processes and Web Services. The workflow is designed in a graphical
interface which shows the workflow as a series of boxes and arrows;
representing processes and their data connections. The different
processes in a workflow can be command line tools, REST and WSDL Web
Services; which are used for combining steps such as data acquisition,
filtering, cleaning, integrating, analysis and visualization. Taverna
calls these processes "services", as they generally are provided by
remote (third-party) servers.

These kind of computational workflows, also known as pipelines and
dataflows, focus on the movement of data rather than the execution
order of the underlying processes. Features such as implicit
iterations (where an input list of values causes multiple process
executions) and parallel invocations (independent processes are
executed as soon as their data is available) are intrinsic to a
dataflow system, not requiring any particular constructs by the
workflow designer.

As a visual programming environment, workflows aids collaboration and
reuse of workflows. At the highest level, a workflow represents the
conceptual level of an analysis, allowing understanding, discussion
and communication of the overall analysis protocol. More detail can be
revealed and modified for individual steps. At the individual process
level, the workflow defines execution specifics such as operations,
parameters and command line tools.

Sharing of the workflow definitions allows re-use and re-purposing of
the computational analysis. During workflow execution, provenance can
be collected from every step, allowing deep inspection of intermediate
values for the purpose of debugging and validation.


# Rationale

There is a strong need to lower the barrier of entry to datasets and
computational resources widely available on the Internet, to increase
their use by researchers who understand the computational steps needed
to produce their results, but who are not necessarily expert
programmers. Taverna has already shown its success and popularity in a
wide range of scientific disciplines.


# Initial Goals

* Transition mailing lists to Apache (keep existing subscribers, but
invite more)
* Taverna developer workshop (2014-10-30)
* Prepare git repositories for move:
   * Update headers/metadata to indicate Apache License 2.0
   * Restructure git repositories
   * Rename Maven groupIds to org.apache.taverna.*
   * Rename packages to

Re: [VOTE] Graduate Apache Storm to a TLP

2014-09-23 Thread P. Taylor Goetz
Hi Henry,

I'm working with press@ to put together an official press release (currently 
waiting on some quotes from PMC members).

That process can take up to two weeks. I only learned of it recently by reading 
some past board meeting minutes, so we're a little behind time wise.

It might be worthwhile to add something to the graduation guide [1] so other 
podlings don't make the same mistake.

[Proposal] Taverna workflow

2014-09-23 Thread Stian Soiland-Reyes
I hereby present the Apache Incubator proposal for the project Taverna.


Also available in rich text in the Taverna wiki (with more hyperlinks!):

http://dev.mygrid.org.uk/wiki/display/developer/Taverna+incubator+proposal

(Could someone grant me access to edit the Incubator wiki pages? My
wiki username is soilandreyes)




# Abstract

Taverna is an open source and domain-independent suite of tools used
to design and execute data-driven workflows.


# Proposal

The Taverna suite includes:

* Taverna Workbench, a Java-based desktop application for graphically
composing, editing and executing workflows of distributed web services
and local tools
* Taverna Commandline Tool which allows repeated execution of
parameterized workflow definitions
* Taverna Server provides a REST and SOAP API for executing workflows
* Taverna Player is a Ruby-based web interface towards the Server,
providing a high-level view of workflow executions and their results,
and allows further integrations with Ruby on Rails applications.

Taverna can browse and combine different service types, allowing
workflows to integrate steps of arbitrary REST and SOAP web services
with command line tools (local and SSH), scripts (Beanshell, R,
Jython) and finally visualize the results.

The goal of the Taverna suite is to help researchers to access
distributed datasets and processing capabilities by the construction
of pipelines, and also to simplify the execution of  these pipelines
in various environments.

The Taverna suite of products is already successful and in wide-use
across different domains. The software is currently licensed as LGPL
2.1, with copyright owned by University of Manchester. External
contributors have all signed Apache-like CLAs.


# Background

Taverna workflows coordinate inputs and outputs between computational
processes and Web Services. The workflow is designed in a graphical
interface which shows the workflow as a series of boxes and arrows;
representing processes and their data connections. The different
processes in a workflow can be command line tools, REST and WSDL Web
Services; which are used for combining steps such as data acquisition,
filtering, cleaning, integrating, analysis and visualization. Taverna
calls these processes "services", as they generally are provided by
remote (third-party) servers.

These kind of computational workflows, also known as pipelines and
dataflows, focus on the movement of data rather than the execution
order of the underlying processes. Features such as implicit
iterations (where an input list of values causes multiple process
executions) and parallel invocations (independent processes are
executed as soon as their data is available) are intrinsic to a
dataflow system, not requiring any particular constructs by the
workflow designer.

As a visual programming environment, workflows aids collaboration and
reuse of workflows. At the highest level, a workflow represents the
conceptual level of an analysis, allowing understanding, discussion
and communication of the overall analysis protocol. More detail can be
revealed and modified for individual steps. At the individual process
level, the workflow defines execution specifics such as operations,
parameters and command line tools.

Sharing of the workflow definitions allows re-use and re-purposing of
the computational analysis. During workflow execution, provenance can
be collected from every step, allowing deep inspection of intermediate
values for the purpose of debugging and validation.


# Rationale

There is a strong need to lower the barrier of entry to datasets and
computational resources widely available on the Internet, to increase
their use by researchers who understand the computational steps needed
to produce their results, but who are not necessarily expert
programmers. Taverna has already shown its success and popularity in a
wide range of scientific disciplines.


# Initial Goals

* Transition mailing lists to Apache (keep existing subscribers, but
invite more)
* Taverna developer workshop (2014-10-30)
* Prepare git repositories for move:
  * Update headers/metadata to indicate Apache License 2.0
  * Restructure git repositories
  * Rename Maven groupIds to org.apache.taverna.*
  * Rename packages to org.apache.taverna.*

* Move Github repositories to Apache git
* Automated builds in Apache's Jenkins
* Update to latest releases of Apache dependencies
* Propose updated release & testing procedure under Apache
* Moved Website and documentation

We intend to only release the current development version Taverna 3.x
http://www.taverna.org.uk/developers/work-in-progress/taverna-3/ under
the Apache umbrella (). 3.0 is not yet officially released - however
the Taverna 3.0 Command Line can be released almost "as-is" after
migration. The Taverna 3.0 Server is at beta quality, while the
Taverna 3.0 Workbench is at alpha stage and would need to be
stabilized to an initial beta release.

* Before first release: Maven Central releases o

I am slightly stunned by a quick search on the name Lens.  I only found one
software package with that name (and it was for lens calibration so far
from databases).  A name like that is usually massively over used.

This might be a really nice opportunity to get a nice one syllable name.
