2018-06-08 Thread Chris Thistlethwaite
Hi All (again),

I'd like to start a vote on accepting Warble into the Apache Incubator.

The ASF voting rules are described:

https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html

A vote for accepting a new Apache Incubator podling is a majority vote
for which only Incubator PMC member votes are binding.

This vote will run for at least 72 hours. Please VOTE as follows
[ ] +1 Accept Warble into the Apache Incubator
[ ] +0 Abstain.

= Apache Warble Proposal =

== Abstract ==

Apache Warble is a distributed endpoint monitoring solution where
the agent is hosted on your own hardware. The aim of Warble is to
produce a more balanced and less binary view of services and
systems, lowering the rates of false positives while also providing
greater insight into possible peering issues and proactive trend
analysis.
 
==Proposal ==
 
The goal of Warble will be to bring internal control of
distributed monitoring back to the end user. Warble can be used as
an independent service running on your own infrastructure
monitoring other services in your infrastructure. 
 
== Background and Rationale ==
 
The beginning of this project was prompted by the service
pingmybox.com (PMB) going end of life. This brought up
conversation about FOSS services that can monitor internal and
external services. PMB offered a unique code base to build this
service upon a known infrastructure.
 
===Initial Goals ===

Bring PMB code into the ASF, refactor the client/server into 
a more reusable structure. Further reuse of code gives us the a
great starting point to build a starting point. 
 
==Current Status ==
 
The software exists as a proprietary service. We wish to convert
this to a FLOSS solution.
 
==Meritocracy ==
 
The initial PMC list covers new folks coming into the ASF. 

==Community ==
 
There exists a large user-base of software like Warble, as well 
as existing users of the old propietary service. It is our hope
that we can convert a great deal of these to contributors and
testers for the new open source product.
 
==Core Developers ==
 
The initial set of developers are a lot of newcomers:

* Daniel Gruno 
    * Chris Thistlethwaite 
* Haig Didizian 
* Andrew Karetas 
* Chandler Claxton 
* Luke Stevens 
* Mike Andescavage 
* Chris Lambertus 
 
==Known Risks ==

There are many existing services that provide external 
monitoring. They are well established and have large user bases.
 
===Orphaned Products ===
 
The initial PMC has great interest in open source projects, though
no formal projects have been run.
 
 
===Inexperience with Open Source ===
 
Most of the initial PPMC members are new to the ASF and some are
new to open source projects. However, all are very interested in
giving back to the community and projects.  Having said that, there
are several people involved with extensive experience in the
Apache Way and our procedures and processes.
 
===Homogenous Developers ===
 
The initial set of developers are employed by a variety of
companies, located across the world, and used to working on a
variety of distributed projects.
 
===Reliance on Salaried Developers ===
 
We do not expect the interest of the proposed initial PMC to be
directly tied to current employment, but will actively seek to
grow our volunteer base regardless.
 
===Relationships with Other Apache Products ===
 
Not much to say here. Many ASF projects make use of the proprietary
offering, we wish to open source it and have people engage in the
development of the project. There are, at present, indirect
relationships in that some dependencies are built on Apache
software, but these are generally by proxy and does not merit
considering Warble as a sub-project of an existing TLP.

 
==Initial Source ==
 
The initial task of the PMC will be assessing what we wish the
project to contain. The proprietary vendor is willing to donate the
software, but considerable rewriting and relicensing will have to
take place. This will likely happen in stages, with the scrapers
and UI being ported first, and a backend auth system being partly
ported/donated, and partly developed from scratch at the ASF.
 
===Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan ===
 
All the existing code in question (from the PMB suite) is owned by
Quenda IvS

[DISCUSS] Apache Warble Incubator Proposal

2018-06-05 Thread Chris Thistlethwaite
Hello,

I'd like to propose Warble as an Apache Incubator project. The draft of
the proposal is at https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/WarbleProposal and
included in this message.

Feedback from the community is welcome and encouraged. We're also still
looking for possible mentors if anyone would like to volunteer.

Thanks!!

-Chris T.

The goal of Warble will be to bring internal control of

monitoring back to the end user. Warble can be used as an
independent
service running on your own infrastructure monitoring other

Warble will make use of some SSL/TLS and cryptography in order to
transmit data
between nodes and main server, however we will not be inc
