Re: Soliciting feedback for a detailed pTLP policy document

One of my concerns with all of these proposals, especially for participants like myself, is the difference in how the IPMC operates vs how these PMCs must operate. For someone like me, I wouldn't be able to help these pTLP's the way I can on the IPMC. John: you can help a pTLP just as much as any other podling. Is your point that you don't have a binding vote? That your help is tied into such a forceful voice? ... I believe that your wisdom will be helpful, regardless of whether your vote is binding or not. From a document's standpoint, I'm concerned with heavy reliance on three existing Apache members. Specifically, if the pTLP gets into a situation where only 2 of its 3 members are active, they can't even add an additional member. While having three active participants is crucial (from the tone of the document), as soon as one of those three starts failing, they cannot ever recover without that 3rd person rejoining. This is not a concern, and is one of the reasons that myself and others are championing the pTLP process. The above is not quite correct, and having ASF Members and direct interaction with the Board will help communities to understand what/how the Foundation truly operates. Yes, we require (3) +1 votes for a *release*. No, that requirement does not apply whatsoever to adding new PMC members, and certainly not towards new committers (and other aspects of turning community members into active contributors). The VP can unilaterally add new PMC members and committers. We don't like to see that, but you're already proposing a community in crisis; in that case, I *EXPECT* the VP to act unilaterally to reboot the active participation. And recall: the Board has the direct oversight and helpful aid for that project. If the VP is the one to disappear, then the Board will notice and will ask for a recommendation to replace. In short, a TLP or pTLP can always recover from stasis. Unlike a podling subject to another group for its well-being, a (p)TLP has the complete ability to rebuild itself. The VP of the (p)TLP is an Office and is directed towards ensuring the success and well-being of the project. That allows for a *very* wide-ranging set of actions. This approach seems to favor cases where the pTLP is proposed and managed by an existing member. I can see this approach not helping foster external groups from joining the ASF, especially trying to find three members openly willing to help foster that community. As Ross noted elsewhere, this is a new/experimental process for moving projects into the Foundation. The Incubator shall remain, and can continue to address your concern for projects without ASF Members to advance the pTLP style process. ... Cheers, -g

Re: [Fwd: Re: [DISCUSS] [PROPOSAL] Singa for Apache Incubator]
I have added Ted as a mentor, so we now have some diversity in mentor affiliations. (Thanks Ted!) I also reached out to few other people in mahout community who I thought might be potentially interested, but I didn't hear from them. I am planning to put this to a vote in 2 days. Meanwhile, please let me know if anybody else would be willing to join as a mentor. Thanks, Thejas On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 3:44 PM, Thejas Nair thejas.n...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Ted.

Researchers from outside of NUS may have been using it since we published an application paper on cross domain/modal retrieval in VLDB 2014. We have not announced the project to the outside community yet -- we would announce it in dbworld etc in due course. Thanks and have a good weekend. regards beng chin Thanks for the comments and suggestions. With permission from Thejas, I would like to respond to point 2. We have a huge team down at NUS (National University of Singapore) -- we have about seven database/data mining data professors (not including those in systems, networking, and machine learning). I myself have nine PhD students in a steady state, and I have a few large grants, with a total budget of about 15 million S$ (~12 million USD), that allows me to hire a number of research fellows and research assistants for the next few years. In a constant state, I have about 20 people (PhD students/RA/RF) working with me alone. Other professors have their own grants (unlike other countries, it is relatively easy to get large grants in Singapore; many overseas Universities, including UIUC, MIT, ETH etc have research labs funded by Singapore Research Foundation [equivalent of NSF]). SINGA is a long term project for us -- while it is a platform as it is, we are using it for healthcare predictive analytics (by working with a hospital associated with the University). Therefore, we will be working on SINGA, not solely as a distributed DL platform, but as a tool that will enable us to do data analytics on some business domains (eg. healthcase, consumer etc) For the initial set of committers, three are tenured professors, five are students, with 2-5 years to go before they complete their PhD. Quite often, some would stay back as a research fellow for a couple of years before they start looking for a job outside. We will work with mentors and new developers (from outside of NUS or Zhejiang University) in enhancing the system. The project should survive in that sense. (I have an on-going project CIIDAA that has been around since 2008; it was started as another project, epiC, with a different grant, and then we continue the development with a new grant for CIIDAA -- http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~ciidaa/ ) Thanks. regards beng chin ps: i am not sure if my email will get through to the group.
