They are not on the website anymore so I guess only a few of the required steps 
were done. Not sure if I manage this weekend, but if notify else picks it up, I 
will check

Re: [VOTE] Accept ResilientDB Into The Apache Incubator

2023-10-23 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Hello Mohammad,

funny you ask right now, because I just updated some files before you sent your 
message.

Your mentors, including me, will set up the project files. I added yours to the 
repo. 
You are visible here already (on the bottom):
https://incubator.apache.org/
but the link doesn't work. I am currently trying to see why not.

However, the next steps would be our mentors setup up the project and give you 
access to the resources. As mentioned, I just started with it.

Also, later in time, I would like your team and everybody involved to have a 
(video) chat on slack (or similar) to get some questions clarified that you 
might have. This is not part of the standard procedure, but I would like to try 
it. 

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,
Christian

Hello,

I removed the "broader contributing members" as suggested:

There has been no activity for a while; there are no signs of change soon.

Please vote:

[ ] -1 don't retire, because...

Please don't hesitate to vote -1 if you feel this podling should remain. 

This vote will be kept open for at least the usual 72 hours.

[DISCUSS] Retire the Spot project?

2023-03-02 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Hello Spot team,

cc/ general@

I am currently checking various podlings and have seen no activity in Spot for 
a long time.

Several roll calls were made, like this one:
https://lists.apache.org/list?priv...@spot.apache.org:2022-10
(private list)

Although the contributor list is huge, nothing has changed since then. To me, 
it looks like nobody has the time to maintain the project.

I want to bring up the idea of retirement again. It would mean Spot would no 
longer be in the incubator but could return to the incubator when there is a 
community.

Retirement does not mean the code is locked up and archived forever. The Spot 
team can still work on it on platforms like Github.

On the other hand, you don't need to report anymore; of course, you don't have 
strict ASF release rules. This makes it sometimes easier for teams to grow and 
become more active again. 

While retirement as a term sounds like an end, it is not, it can even offer a 
fresh start. 

What do you think about that?

Kind regards,
Christian

great you are still around - I could not complete this step here:

"Create a file RETIRED.txt at the top-level of each podling source repository. 
This should contain something like the following:

This podling has been retired, please see: 
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html##{podling-name};

As I have not write access to the repos. If I am not asking too much, could you

Hi,

I completed most of the retirement actions described here:

The copyright item is not checked. Do we have any tooling to check whether we

It was also hard to dig out all the requested resources. If anybody knows any

[DISCUSS] Status of modpagespeed

2023-02-28 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Hello,

PageSpeed has been in the Incubator since 2017:
https://incubator.apache.org/projects/pagespeed.html

It has little activity:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-mod

The last release was in 2020:
https://www.modpagespeed.com/doc/download

No matter where I look in the email archives, there is nothing except GitHub 
noise:
https://lists.apache.org/list?d...@pagespeed.apache.org

Only one committer has been active since 2020.
Releases will also be impossible.

The last report also indicates retirement:
https://whimsy.apache.org/board/minutes/PageSpeed.html

Another issue is the domain modpagespeed.com is still not controlled/owned by 
the ASF, but it's used. It's not listed in the ASF privacy policy as well, 
which could be a problem.

The general overview page here looks unmaintained.
https://incubator.apache.org/projects/pagespeed.html

As it is now I don't see a chance to graduate this podling.

I would +1 to retirment. Maybe the remaining people on dev@modpagespeed can 
comment (in CC).

Wdyt?

Kind regards,
Christian

Re: Looking for a champion: resurrect log4j 1.x

2022-01-05 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Hello,

I just came across this thread - same as Ralph, I currently don't mentor any 
podlings. However, I am still on the Logging PMC.

On Thu, Dec 23, 2021, at 07:05, Vladimir Sitnikov wrote:

You have been constantly treating others with disrespect. 

Nobody of us committed any time for log4j1 since 2012, and since 2015 it is 
EOL. Nobody of us even thought about giving any time to log4j1 until you came 
up on this list. I think it is fair to say the world is on fire with log4j2 BUT 
NOT with log4j1.

There is no new security issues with log4j1. Instead we retired log4j1 for many 
reasons, including some multithreading issues which require heavy architectural 
changes - which we then fixed with log4j2. Nobody was able to fix it back then.

Maybe I have missed something, but we never accepted a single podling for just 
one release, with one committer, with the original PMC opposing this step. And 
this for two security issues which are 10 years old which are not comparable to 
the ones we found in log4j2.

I recommend looking at the Logging Chairs statement for details if interested 
which will be sent soon.

Also, I don't think Cobol and Log4j 1 match up. 

That being said, the PMCs job - especially those people dealing with this issue 
- has been excellent so far, and this email thread looks like some of us were 
blocking all the time. That's not true and is a wrong impression. We just 
haven't heard good arguments for resurrecting log4j1.

Cheers
Christian

Re: Question about proposal champions

2015-11-05 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Hi Greg,

from my experience it has proven to be very hard to start
single-man-shows here. The Incubator works best if there is an active
community already.

If you are a sole person, you might also consider labs.apache.org. Some
people say, Labs is for experiments, and when there is a community, go
to the Incubator.

Personally, if you have no plan how to get new people on-board, or if
nobody else here is interested in becoming a committer, or if your
project is not Hadoop related :-), then you should first start building
a community. 

If you don't have at least three committers, you will als not be be able
to cut a release.

Cheers,
Christian

Wave is not assigned to file a report for April, but this is the sort

Re: Wave community may need our help

2015-03-13 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Hi Roman,

you might have noticed, that one of the mentors (me) were actively
asking for this report. I simply forgot to sign it, which does not
happen often to me. In example, the last report was signed (Dec).

More mentors are always welcome; but its not this podling is out on his
own. From mentoring activities, I even joined a Google Hangout to
clarify questions, and releases were reviewed.

When it comes to the situation of this podling, it hasn't changed much.
I wonder why you think Wave would turn the corner. 

From time to time I start the retirement discussion at the podling as I
don't think Wave will get enough momentum. There is a small community,
but they cannot dedicate enough time. My personal opinion is that it
will not make graduation at any time, and i told that before. I am happy
if the project turns out otherwise.

That being said, I am still on mailing lists, i am still helping out, I
just wasn't there in the past 10 days for personal reasons. 

Again, I wrote this response to help giving the right impression on the
podling, not to put your good intentions down to help. I am really happy
if somebody else would help as mentor, as well as with log4cxx and
ripple.

Thanks,

Christian

 close to 5 years and for a long time they've struggled

 the community beyond its core.
 
 I was extremely excited to see that this reporting cycle
 they seem to be finally turning the corner. Unfortunately,
 next thing I saw was that the report wasn't signed off
 by mentors.
 
 I totally understand that we all get busy (hey -- I was

He was already committer, so he couldn't be added to the group by infra.

Yes. This podling was actually a mature project of logging.apache.org.
Then we discussed the attic, because noone of the old committers were

issue with Logging PMC and IPMC and it seemed the best idea was to move
log4cxx back to the incubator with new people from the mailing lists.

As there are no IP concerns and we wanted to avoid wasting infra time,
we have kept the old mailing lists.

Btw, it is named log4cxx2 and not just log4cxx because before ages
the project has already incubated with different people.

From that point of view, I think it is only important for this podling
to prove there are a few people and they understand the ASF principles
and release requirements. I say few people, because the Logging PMC is
active and able to help to pass votes. In this special case I think this
podling could even graduate with one or two active persons.

Hope that helps!

Re: [PROPOSAL] Silk as new Incubator project

2014-09-19 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Not saying anything on the proposal itself, I would be concerned because
of the name Silk.
There is this:
http://lucidworks.com/product/integrations/silk/
which is related to Apache Solr and Lucene and also gets some attention.
While it may not solve the same thing, I wouldn't use the name Silk at
least because
it somehow works with other Apache products. It could lead to confusion.

If the podling is accepted, I suggest to consider this before resources
are created

 Also, would you guys mind adding or soliciting more mentors?
 Seemed like most of initial committers have not been involved in ASF

  = Silk Apache Incubator Proposal =
 
  == Abstract ==
 
  Apache Silk will be a unified In-Memory Data Fabric providing 
  high-performance,
  distributed in-memory data management software layer between various data
  sources and user applications.
 
  == Proposal ==
 
  Apache Silk is written mostly in Java and Scala with small amount of C++ 
  code
  and will initially combine the following technologies under one unified
  umbrella:
   * In-Memory Data Grid
   * In-Memory Compute Grid
   * In-Memory Streaming Processing
  This unified in-memory fabric will provide high-performance, distributed
  in-memory software layer that sits in between various data sources and user
  applica tions. Data sources can include SQL RDBMS, NoSQL, or HDFS. 
  Applications
  APIs will be available for Java (and Java-based scripting languages), Scala,
  C++ and .NET (C#).
 
  GridGain Systems, Inc. submits this proposal to donate its Apache 
  2.0-licensed
  open source project generally known as “GridGain In-Memory Computing 
  Platform”,
  its source code, documentation, and websites to the Apache Software 
  Foundation
  (“ASF”) with the goal of extending the vibrant open source community around
  this technology ultimately governed by “Apache Way”.  Proposed Naming
 
  We have been advised by the ASF mentors that the name “Silk” may not be 
  ideal
  because the name may be too generic and may not pass ASF legal check. Here 
  are
  the alternatives that we have come up with and any of those will be 
  acceptable
  for the project pending the ASF legal green light:
   * Apache Silk (preferable name)
   * Apache Sylk
   * Apache Memstor
   * Apache Ignite
 
  == Background  Rationale ==
 
  In-Memory Data Fabric is a natural and evolutionary consolidation of various
  “in-memory technologies” from the last decade. From simple local caching
  (JSR-107), to distributed caching, to data grids and databases, to streaming
  and plug-n-play acceleration - the in-memory space has grown quite
  dramatically.
 
  With rapid advances in NVRAM and significant price reduction of traditional
  DRAM on one hand, and growing sophistication and demand for faster data
  processing on another - many users of these silo-ed technologies and 
  products
  started to look for a “strategic approach” to in-memory - an in-memory data
  fabric - that would provide suitable APIs for different types of payloads: 
  from
  data caching, to data grids, to in-memory SQL data stores, to HPC, to 
  streaming
  processing.
 
  With expensive and proprietary in-memory computing products from companies 
  like
  Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, and IBM -  the developers worldwide need an 
  unhindered
  access to advanced open source in-memory software technology, the technology
  they can trust to develop with and deploy for critical applications.  
  Current
  Status
 
  Apache Silk will be based on the technology that is currently developed by
  GridGain Systems and available under Apache 2.0 license
  (http://www.gridgain.org). The software has been in development since 2007 
  and
  in production since 2009. It is currently used by over 500 production
  deployments with over 1,000,000 downloads to date, and with over 20,000,000
  GridGain nodes started in the last 5 years.
 
  == Initial Goals ==
 
  The number one goal during ASF incubation will coalesce around building a 
  true
  active and vibrant community governed by the “Apache Way”. The initial
  development goals for Silk primarily revolve around migrating the existing 
  code
  base, documentation, and refactoring of the existing internal build, test 
  release processes. We believe these initial goals are sufficiently 
  difficult

A retired project is a project which has been closed down for various
reasons, instead of graduating as an Apache project. It is no longer
developed in the Apache Incubator and does not have any other duties.

The project's code might stay available on Apache servers, if all the
required IP clearance requirements have been met.

Retirement is a decision of the Incubator PMC, which usually delegates
it to the incubating project's mentors. The opinion of the incubating
project's community should of course be taken into account, but in the
end it's the Incubator PMC which makes the decision.



Interesting and I think this is really good (writes a guy who discussed 
the rules a lot).


The problem we wanted to solve (i think) was: how can we keep our 
incubator list

clean and be pro-active when it comes to housekeeping?

If the IPMC would look at the reporting podlings each month and check if
retirement is needed, then the above phrase might make perfect sense.

Some might consider it unfair to be retired. In example, some projects 
as
Wave look inactive but there is some life left. Retire or not? It's 
subjective.
There is a good chance we keep some long-term running projects, but on 
the other hand...

what would it matter?

That being said, I would love if the other docs would get such an 
haircut as well.


Cheers,
Christian

 That's actually the part of the thread that I have a lot of interest in.
 Is there any reason not to use attic for hibernated podlings?

I am not sure if there is a real reason, but maybe its because the attic
currently contains only real ASF projects where all legal things were
sorted out.

With a podling coming in this might not be the case. We would need to
check back with the Attic people if they can handle this.

Otherwise I don't see a reason why we shouldn't use the attic, imho
its the reason why its there.

 How about before adding a new rule to the policy page we just try it
 with a few of the old podlings first to see what happens and from that
 find what sort of rule might work?

 That would be fine too.

Roman, would you mind to create an update patch and send it around
here for some kind of discussing/voting? Then we would see how people feel.
I think this thread is already to big to get the right attention.

You aren't the only sceptic, i'm not enthusiastic about having such
specific policy about release time frames either. Some projects are 
just
slow, having a deadline like that could just make them get a release 
out of

low quality without much care just to tick the box.

Looking at clutch these are the current podlings and age which are 
older

than a year and have no release:

Aurora 267
BatchEE 265
DeviceMap 904
Kalumet 1009
Ripple 617
Samza 330
Streams 582
Usergrid 265
Wave 1299

Maybe their mentors should just go have a conversation with them about 
it?


I can speak for Ripple already: there is a problem
and will need a solution soon (integration into Cordova, or moving out 
to GitHub).

- AND less than 20 emails in a month on dev@
- AND less than 10 commits/jira modifications in a month
- AND no way to change this in the next three months (in example: 
hackathon

on horizon)


Here's my personal struggle with two of the items on this list:
- AND less than 20 emails in a month on dev@
- AND less than 10 commits/jira modifications in a month
I can't fathom how a community that is that active can't put
itself to a task of making a release.


Let's assume the Wave project would have more activity. Maybe lets say
they are operating with around 20 commits a month. It would be still
difficult to release the code base within one year, because its really 
complex and
needs a full refactoring. If we do not weight activity in general in, we 
reduce

the exit criteria to: how fast can you do a release?

And: if you don't manage to make a release in the first year - no matter 
how your

product looks like - you might be thrown out.



At the ends of the day, the release of an incubating project
is NOT a glorious exercise in putting the final coat of paint
on a flawless product. It is rather a very mundane way sharing
technology with its users community. And after all, growing the
user community is as important as growing the contributing
community. It is only fair that IPMC gently reminds PPMC of that.


I agree, but sometimes it's simply not possible to release.
Actually, Wave *could* have released something, but nobody wants
it to look like that.

Let's assume they would release it now, which would be possible in 
theory.

Let's say they would get 3 +1 from the PMC, which will be hard already.
Then you have a released project, but the community is almost inactive.


Heck, our TLPs practice it (where expectations are arguably
higher) let alone Incubating projects. Take Hadoop as an
example -- in order to make Hadoop 2.x successful the
community decided to put an early alpha releases of
Hadoop 2.0.x out to share the technology with its users.
It was exactly the right decisions and ultimately it resulted
in a much smoother 2.x.y series.


As to my knowledge, some Hadoop-devs get financial support from 
companies.
Projects like Ripple, Wave or Log4cxx do not have that financial 
support.

In most cases, people work on these codebases in their prime time.
For that reason I don't want to compare company-backed projects with
prime-time projects.


In short -- you don't have to make your releases GA. Alpha
releases are just fine. Still you have to demonstrate that
you are capable of sharing your work with the user
community and doing an alpha/beta/gamma/YNH release
is the only way to do it.


I know what you mean, but I doubt this alone is a factor we should 
weight for an exit.


People might struggle with a release but be healthy otherwise.
People might get a release done, but have no community otherwise.

That said, reminding people of the release often and early thing is 
good to do,
but also have in mind that incubator releases are very difficult to 
make.

The have the intention, but not the man power.
There were phases with some excitement.

If the IPMC wants to shut down the podling, then I would like to see us
formulating a few rules when we do that. We should not shut a podling
down just because we feel like that. Instead let us define what it means
to evolve or what the intention to evolve means.

Like:

 Here's my +1.

 
 Apache Fleece Proposal

 Abstract

 Apache Fleece is an implementation of JSR-353 (JavaTM API for JSON
 Processing).

 Proposal

 Apache Fleece will consist of a number of modules. Mainly an implementation
 of JSR-353 but also a set of usefule modules to help with the usage of
 JSR-353 (surely a mapping module and a jaxrs provider module).

 Background

 JSon being more and more important JavaEE 7 specified an API to read and
 create JSon objects/arrays.

 Apache Fleece builds on this specification a potential base to do Json at
 Apache (hopefully it will be integrated with CXF for instance).

 Rationale

 There is not yet a Json related project at Apache but a lot of projects
 rely on some specific implementions (jettison, jackson, others...).
 Proposing a default would be great. The other point is a set of Apache
 projects related to JavaEE (CXF, TomEE, Geronimo, Axis2...) will need an
 implementation. Having one built at Apache is a really nice to have.

 Initial Goals

 The initial goal of the Apache Fleece project is to get a JSR-353 compliant
 implementation

 Current Status

 Initial codebase was developped on github but designed to be integrated in
 Apache.

 Meritocracy

 Initial community will be mainly composed of already Apache committers so
 meritocracy is already something well known.

 Community

 Initial community will be composed of TomEE community for sure, hopefully
 CXF and potentially all JSon users of Apache.

 Initial committers

  - Romain Manni-Bucau (individual, ASF)
  - Jean-Louis Monteiro (individual, ASF)
  - Mark Struberg (individual, ASF member)
  - Gerhard Petracek (individual, ASF member)
  - David Blevins (individual, ASF member)
  - Sagara Gunathunga (ASF)

 Alignment

 Several Apache project will need a JSR-353 implementation. Having a project
 which can be shared is better than having a sub project of a particular
 project. Moreover this project makes sense alone since users can
 integrate it without any other dependencies and use it to read/generate
 Json in their project so it makes sense to create a dedicated project.

 Known Risks

 Main risk is to get a not so active project since the specification is not
 that big.

 Documentation

 There is no documentation to import today but it will be created using
 standard ASF tools (ASF CMS mainly).

 Initial Source

 Initial sources are on this git repository:
 https://github.com/rmannibucau/json-impl.git

 Source and IP Submission Plan

 Initial sources are under Apache license v2.

 Side note: it was really developed to be integrated in this project
 (without waiting it to be created).

 Required Resources

 Mailing Lists

  -

  - d...@fleece.incubator.apache.org - comm...@fleece.incubator.apache.org
  - priv...@fleece.incubator.apache.org

 Version Control

 It is proposed that the source code for the Apache Fleece project be hosted
 in the Apache Git repository, under the following directory:

  - git.apache.org/incubator-fleece.git

 Issue Tracking

 The following JIRA project would be required to track issues for the Apache
 Fleece project:

  - FLEECE

 Initial Committers

  - Romain Manni-Bucau
  - Jean-Louis Monteiro
  - Mark Struberg
  - Gerhard Petracek
  - David Blevins

 Sponsors

 Champion

  - Mark Struberg

 Nominated Mentors

  - Justin Mclean
  - Christian Grobmeier
  - Daniel Kulp

 Project Name

 Seems *Fleece* is the name which satisfies most of people but we can still
 ask for a new name if we feel it needed before being graduated.

Hi,

Apache Argonaut sounds good but I assume that name is in common use so

I actually once wrote an article called Json and the golden fleece 
(just in german),

so I would like this reference too.

I was a little bit involved in that JSR (not very active to be honest) 
and developed
a JSON component myself before the JSR was in the making, so I have an 
interest in it.
Unfortunately I have very limited time to help actively. Anyway if there 
is trouble

to finding an additional mentor, I will step up.

On the proposal i see two sections called initial committers and one 
core developer. I would like to suggest to remove the section core 
developer and on of the initial committers blocks.


I would like to also suggest to look into Noggit:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/labs/noggit/
which is more or less used in a later form in Solr.

As sponsoring entity it might even make sense to look at Apache Commons, 
as the component will be small.
It would also relax the naming problem, as it would most likely be named 
Apache Commons Json then.

Re: [DISCUSS] json as new incubator project

2014-06-01 Thread Christian Grobmeier

Hi,

commons might be an option. But we still would need to go through the 
incubator.
Otoh Commons proved not to be very JSR friendly to be honest. We had 
this discussion for BVal etc, and recent JCS discussions where also 
not in favour for it. I'd be happy to host it over there though.


there is no rush luckily. But you are right that Commons is not always 
the best option.
And if we have a big community and maybe later other json stuff at hand, 
it makes sense to aim at tld.


Christian, txs for bringing up noggit. Didn't even know it. How far is 
it away from the SOLR version? And to which degree does it cover JSON? 
Anyone who knows the SOLR code think we could split this out form SOLR 
if this version is better?


here is the latest stable: https://github.com/yonik/noggit

Looking at Solrs code here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/handler/loader/JsonLoader.java
it seems like it is using the latest stable (or one of them) - I 
concluded that by looking at the namespace.


Noggits License is AL2.0, so it should be no problem to use some of the 
code.

However i once digged through it, while i wrote my own small lib:
https://github.com/grobmeier/jjson
It turned out that it has a great approach, but wasn't that easy to 
hack.
That's why I stopped merging the two code bases and mine stayed pretty 
dump.


Romains code is pretty good already. But it uses antlr for parsing. 
Not sure how much this is a blocker when it comes to performance 
tuning and cutting down the size of the JAR yet.


Actually I don't like antlr that much and would love to see it go. I 
totally enjoy json libs with zero dependencies.


Cheers
Christian

 Hi Christian,

 updated the proposal page according to your comments (added you as mentor
 for now and merged initial/core dev  parts).

 Will try to import noggit parser (actually I was in thr process of removing
 antlr which was mainly here to get started quickly so if noggit avoids me
 to rewrite a new state machine it will be very nice)

I keep fingers crossed. Not sure if it will help you though, but it is really

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, 18 June 2014, 10:30:30:00 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, Jun 4th).

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/June2014

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.

 It appears that we have at present zero active Mentors, so even with
 the experimental release process we're unable to move forward, since
 that requires Mentor sign off on the release manifest/checklist.

I haven't heard of a process defined. I did something similar in the past
by notifying the list and asking the community if they would be fine with me
joining, and that's it.

As member of this PMC is think there should not be an formalities for you
to help podlings who need it.

Just make sure to add your name to the mentors list, since reporting templates
will be generated from there.

Kind regards,

 I am able and willing to help here.

Re: [VOTE] Enable Release Checklist Experiment

2013-12-17 Thread Christian Grobmeier

+1, good job.

On 13 Dec 2013, at 21:59, Marvin Humphrey wrote:


Greetings,

As the next step in our ongoing efforts to reform the release voting 
process,
I propose that we run an experiment allowing the PPMC members of 
select
podlings to earn binding votes under limited circumstances by 
completing a

release checklist.

For participating podlings, the Incubator's release management 
guide...


 http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html

... would be supplanted by the following documents:

 http://incubator.apache.org/guides/release_manifest.txt
 http://incubator.apache.org/guides/release.html

The scope of this VOTE is limited to approving the following patch to 
our

policy page:

 https://paste.apache.org/k4vJ

Here is the patch content minus markup:

 2013 Alternate Release Voting Process

 Select podlings pre-cleared by a majority vote of the IPMC MAY
participate in
 an alternate release voting process:

 Should a Podling decide it wishes to perform a release, the Podling 
SHALL
 hold a vote on the Podling's dev list and create a permanently 
archived
 Release Manifest as described in the Experimental Release Guide.  At 
least

 three +1 votes from PPMC members are required (see the Apache Voting
 Process page).  If the majority of PPMC votes is positive, then the 
Podling

 SHALL send a summary of that vote to the Incubator's general list and
 formally request the Incubator PMC approve such a release.

 Formal approval requires three binding +1 votes and more positive 
than
 negative votes.  Votes cast by members of the Incubator PMC are 
always

 binding.  For all releases after the first, votes cast by members
of the PPMC
 are binding if a Mentor approves the Release Manifest.

Please note that the proposed change is both incremental and 
reversible:


*   It is incremental because podlings must be opted in by vote of the 
IPMC to

 participate.
*   It is reversible because once the experiment has run its course 
the
 policy change can be reverted with zero impact through lazy 
consensus.


Those who may have questions about the legitimacy of allowing binding 
votes

from non-IPMC members should see this post from Roy Fielding:

 http://s.apache.org/v7

Please vote:

[ ] +1 Yes, apply the patch enabling the experiment.
[ ] -1 No, do not apply the patch enabling the experiment.

This majority VOTE will run for 7 days and will close at 13:00 PST on 
Friday,
December 20, 2013.  Votes cast by members of the Incubator PMC are 
binding.


Here is my own +1.

Log4cxx

Proposal

Apache log4cxx is a subproject of Apache Logging Services. It is a 
logging framework for C++ patterned after Apache log4j. Apache log4cxx 
uses Apache Portable Runtime for most platform-specific code and 
should be usable on any platform supported by APR.


The current website is visible at: http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/

The original developers of the project went inactive and the project 
was not maintained for quite a while. The Logging PMC thought about 
moving the project to the attic but a few users were objecting.


This proposal is to create a new community around Log4cxx.

Rationale

Currently Log4cxx appears to be pretty stable without many 
competitors. It has a small but dedicated user base.


Current Status

Meritocracy

Log4cxx was developed at the Apache Software Foundation. Its SVN 
history reaches back to 2003 but there was even previous development 
on CVS. While the interested developers were not involved in the past 
efforts there is consens that Apache Logging Services is the best 
place for the future development of Log4cxx.


Alignment

Goal of the incubation is to reboot the community around log4cxx.

Known Risks

Orphaned Products

With six interested developers and one of them being a committer to 
Apache Logging Services the risk can be considered low.


Inexperience with Open Source

One of the committers is already committer to Apache Logging. The 
others were already subscribed to the mailing list and actively 
participating on the discussions.


Homogeneous Developers

The list of initial committers are geographically distributed across 
the world with no one company being associated with a majority of the 
developers.


Reliance on Salaried Developers

None of the initial committers is paid to develop code for this 
project. However it has been expressed that the framework is in use at 
the companies of the developers. CCLAs will be submitted were 
relevant.


Relationships with Other Apache Products

So far no other Apache products are known which use Log4cxx. Apache 
Log4j was the prototype for creating Log4cxx.


An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand

n/a. Log4cxx was developed at the ASF.

Initial Source

The initial source was developed at the ASF and has already a clean IP 
and is distributed with AL 2.0.


Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan

The source code is available here: 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4cxx


External Dependencies

None.

Cryptography

The project does not handle cryptography in any way.

Required Resources

We would like to use the already existing mailinglists: 
http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/mail-lists.html


We would like to move the source code folder from: 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4cxx


to: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/log4cxx

We would like to move the current website to:

Only two

The project just entered incubation two months ago.

Where is everybody?


When I joined as committer I mentioned that I am in time trouble at the

Currently I consider to step out as I am not able to follow as closely

Re: Engaging Mentors

2013-12-05 Thread Christian Grobmeier

Taylor,

your mentors should read the mailing lists. Why I would not expect to 
get answers when a question is hidden in a technical detail question, a 
subject line with [MENTOR] in it should draw attention. I expect mentors 
to read all subject lines.


Other tags mentors should watch is [VOTE] or [DISCUSS] or anything on 
private@.


However we have often the case that mentors are awol. If you are not 
able to get anything out from your mentors please hit general@ again 
with your question.


Cheers,
Christian

OK, I see what happened.  Ripple received reminders on ripple-dev on 
November
22 and November 28 insisting that Ripple needed to file a 
December2013 report.
This happened because at the time, Ripple still had the monthly tag 
in

podlings.xml.

Part of the Chair's workflow is to remove expired monthly 
attributes from
podlings.xml.  I didn't get to that until shortly after the November 
28

reminders were sent out.


In all of the documentation and tools, i have been trying to
encourage the podlings to look after their own metadata.
Sure, we do seem to need a backstop, but please can we continue
to encourage them to look after their own stuff.


Well it happens that a mentor (in this case me) did mess up something 
too.
I take it on my own back that i have not educated Ripple to deal with 
podling.xmls

or not worked with the data myself.

Anyway, thanks Marvin for helping me identify the issue.

Probably the best way to prevent this from happening in the future is 
to move
this Chair task (along with a few others like creating the wiki 
template) to
just after filing the last report.  I can do that by rejiggering the 
blocks in

Sounds like a throwback to the early days of the Incubator when I hear 
there

was only one Mentor per podling. :)  +1, go ahead!

The podling will probably have a comparatively easy incubation, since 
several
aspects are already taken care of.  Not having to deal with IP 
clearance makes
things much simpler.  Depending on how quickly the new community 
masters the

Apache Way, incubation could be over within a few months.

I don't see any problem with what you've proposed as far as reusing 
existing
resources.  We might not make such exceptions every time, but they 
seem fine
in this unusual case.  It's nice that there is minimal impact on 
Infra.


I feel a bit alone with my proposal. Given the size of the IPMC thats 
a bit

sad.


This seems like an excellent opportunity for people who are less 
experienced
or perhaps not members of the IPMC yet to try their hand at mentoring. 
 Given
your expertise and dedication, someone with less experience could 
offer advice
to the podling and feel confident that you would be there to back them 
up or

provide subtle correction as necessary.

Be sure to let private@incubator know if anybody shows up to help and 
deserves

to be nominated for the IPMC. :)

Dear all,

please cast your vote to accept Log4cxx for incation.
The proposal is pasted below, but can be found here too:

Log4cxx

Proposal

Apache log4cxx is a subproject of Apache Logging Services. It is a 
logging framework for C++ patterned after Apache log4j. Apache log4cxx 
uses Apache Portable Runtime for most platform-specific code and should 
be usable on any platform supported by APR.


The current website is visible at: http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/

The original developers of the project went inactive and the project was 
not maintained for quite a while. The Logging PMC thought about moving 
the project to the attic but a few users were objecting.


This proposal is to create a new community around Log4cxx.

Rationale

Currently Log4cxx appears to be pretty stable without many competitors. 
It has a small but dedicated user base.


Current Status

Meritocracy

Log4cxx was developed at the Apache Software Foundation. Its SVN history 
reaches back to 2003 but there was even previous development on CVS. 
While the interested developers were not involved in the past efforts 
there is consens that Apache Logging Services is the best place for the 
future development of Log4cxx.


Alignment

Goal of the incubation is to reboot the community around log4cxx.

Known Risks

Orphaned Products

With six interested developers and one of them being a committer to 
Apache Logging Services the risk can be considered low.


Inexperience with Open Source

One of the committers is already committer to Apache Logging. The others 
were already subscribed to the mailing list and actively participating 
on the discussions.


Homogeneous Developers

The list of initial committers are geographically distributed across the 
world with no one company being associated with a majority of the 
developers.


Reliance on Salaried Developers

None of the initial committers is paid to develop code for this project. 
However it has been expressed that the framework is in use at the 
companies of the developers. CCLAs will be submitted were relevant.


Relationships with Other Apache Products

So far no other Apache products are known which use Log4cxx. Apache 
Log4j was the prototype for creating Log4cxx.


An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand

n/a. Log4cxx was developed at the ASF.

Initial Source

The initial source was developed at the ASF and has already a clean IP 
and is distributed with AL 2.0.


Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan

The source code is available here: 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4cxx


External Dependencies

None.

Cryptography

The project does not handle cryptography in any way.

Required Resources

We would like to use the already existing mailinglists: 
http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/mail-lists.html


We would like to move the source code folder from: 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4cxx


to: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/log4cxx

Issue tracking: We would like to use: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX which already exists.


We would like to move the current website to: 
http://incubator.apache.org/log4cxx/ As the main Logging site is created 
with the Apache CMS, we would like to establish a similar process for 
log4cxx.


Initial Committers

Names of initial committers - in alphabetical order - with current ASF 
status:

If the mentors stick to the project there is only little problem (I 
think).

On the other hand we should avoid to become some kind of scm hoster.
The incubator has a specific goal and if project enters I believe it 
should

work to reach these goals.
If the goals are not reached like in the case you might have in mind,
i believe we need to ask: why? Are you on the right place?

Sometimes such questions bring up a few problems, sometimes not.

Just for the record, I have no problem this project stays longer. But I 
will continue
asking if there is life in the podling if there is no progress in

Hope my recent emails didn't read like that I absolutely want to throw

We talked this subject through in November 2011, under the heading 
Actively

retiring projects:

 http://markmail.org/message/4cagxwofrsmkmsek

The biggest change we made in the wake of that discussion was to 
graduate
small but stable communities more aggressively.  Isis was one[1].  
VXQuery,
with 4-5 active PPMC members, is likely to graduate under similar 
criteria.


Another change which has happened gradually over the last few years is 
that we
have cast aside the stigma associated with leaving the Incubator.  
Vestiges of
a less tolerant mentality from the early days persist in our policy 
page[2]:


 
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Termination+of+a+Podling


 Termination of a Podling

 If you receive a recommendation for termination then you have a
 problem.

I have always thought that shaming projects which don't complete 
incubation
was unjust, bad policy, and unbecoming of a volunteer-driven public 
charity.

Now that we have softened our attitudes, recognizing that all software
products have a lifecycle and emphasizing retirement over 
termination, the

Incubator has become more self-cleaning.

Back in 2011, the Incubator had a significant problem with 
accumulating
stalled podlings.  Today, we have more room to consider podlings in 
difficult

circumstances on a case-by-case basis.

Re: Project reboot proposals - any guidance?

2013-10-24 Thread Christian Grobmeier

Hey Nick

I spoke with Tammo about this while we had a virtual coffee recently.
However I don't know about similar cases so much. Basically I don't see 
lot of risk from

a legal standpoint and would give my +1 quickly.

But of course it would be interesting for me about the motivations.
I mean, the project was almost dead and now a few people want it to be 
revived. Why? Was
the problem in the previous project to less interest? Problems in the 
community?
As I said, this would be interesting but personally I don't consider 
this information necessary.


What I don't know: do the current resources need to move to an 
*.incubator.a.o space?
I believe this is unnecessary overhead, but maybe other have an idea on 
that too.


So far, I would +1 this proposal. Mentors good, Champion good and people 
come from the community. Legals are all done and almost no resources 
will be wasted to set this up.


Cheers

Do we have any guidance on what a reboot proposal should and shouldn't

yes, the company will need to sign a software grant and imho should sign

I would also like to check if there is any issue with having them sign

It definitely makes sense and I am not aware of an issues. In your

There is of course a chance the incubator pmc rejects your proposal.


Is there anything else I should be aware of at this stage?


Please note, most project which are accepted have already a community. 
It reads as your

recommend you to recruit a Champion

A Champion is very good to have with the first steps.

You should wait a little bit if somebody else has another thing to add

 Currently users who need some monitoring need to use some non Open
 Source solutions or GPL solutions. The goal is to provide a solution
 based on the Apache License.

 == Initial Goals ==

 Apache Sirona doesn't have any release currently. The initial goal of
 this project will be to build community in the spirit of the Apache
 Way, and to address new features and bug-fixes of the first releases.

 === Current Status ===

 Intent of the proposal is to build a diverse community of developers
 around Sirona. Sirona started in the Apache Commons Sandbox, driven in
 the spirit of open source and we would like to continue in this spirit
 by, for example, encouraging contributors from a variety of
 organizations.

 === Community ===

 Apache Sirona stakeholders desire to expand the user and developer
 base of Apache Sirona further in the future

 == Known Risks ==

 === Orphaned Products ===

 Sirona is a new product. So without community adoption the risks of it
 being orphaned exist.

 === Inexperience with Open Source ===

 The code has been developed in Apache Commons Sandbox mostly by Romain
 Manni-Bucau and Olivier Lamy who intimately familiar with the Apache
 model for open-source development and is experienced with working with
 new contributors.

 === Homogeneous Developers ===

 The initial set of committers is from a small set of organizations.
 However, we expect that once approved for incubation, the project will
 attract new contributors from diverse organizations and will thus grow
 organically. The participation of developers from several different
 organizations in the mailing list is a strong indication for this
 assertion.

 === Reliance on Salaried Developers ===

 It is expected that Apache Sirona will be developed on salaried and
 volunteer time.

 === Relationships with Other Apache Products ===

 Apache Sirona depends upon other Apache Projects: Velocity and various
 Apache Commons components and build systems like Maven.

 === A Fascination with the Apache Brand ===

 The reason for joining Apache is to foster a healthy community of
 contributors and consumers around the project. This is facilitated by
 ASF and that is the primary reason we would like Apache Sirona to
 become an Apache project.

 == Documentation ==

 Docs: http://commons.apache.org/sandbox/commons-monitoring/

 == Initial Source ==

 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/sandbox/monitoring/trunk

 == Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan ==

 The initial source is already Apache 2.0 licensed.

 == External Dependencies ==

 The required external dependencies are all Apache License or
 compatible licenses. Following components with non-Apache licenses are
 enumerated :

 == Cryptography ==

 Apache Sirona does not depend upon any cryptography tools or libraries.

 == Required Resources ==

 === Mailing lists ===

 * sirona-private (with moderated subscriptions)

 * sirona-dev

 * sirona-commits

 * sirona-user

 == Subversion Directory ==

 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sirona

 == Issue Tracking ==

 JIRA Sirona (key: SIRONA)

 == Other Resources ==

 The existing code already has unit and integration tests so we would
 like to use Jenkins instance to run them whenever a new patch is
 submitted. This can be added after project creation.

 == Initial Committer ==

 * Romain Manni-Bucau (rmannibu...@apache.org)

 * Jean-Louis Monteiro (jlmonte...@apache.org)

 * Fred Zhang (no ASF account)

Re: Too many late reports

2013-10-07 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Ups! Due to tons of $realtime work recently I missed to push the Ripple 
report.

I am going after that asap. Are you accepting it if it comes soonish?

Btw, in almost all podling esp the smaller communities I have to remind 
the reports, even when there was  Marvin. It feels as people would 
ignore marvin, because they know how to do it when I remind them. Thats 
just a non-representative observation.

Missing the ODF Toolkit report for this month.


Lots of late or missing reports this month!

As of the due date last Wednesday, 8 podlings out of 16 had not 
reported:


*   Chukwa
*   DeviceMap
*   Helix
*   ODF Toolkit
*   Ripple
*   Samza
*   Spark
*   Stratos

Since then, Chukwa and Helix filed their reports late Saturday; Spark 
filed a
report today -- *after* Dave Fisher had filed his shepherding 
commentary,
which concludes with the sentence I'm not sure why they have not 
reported

yet.

It's inconvenient to receive podling reports late.  Mentors have less 
time to
sign off and possibly comment; shepherds don't get to take the 
podling's own

self-examination into account when conducting their reviews.

Perhaps it would be better if we ask late podlings to file next month 
instead.
That's what the Board asks TLPs to do when their reports show up too 
late.


In the past, the Incubator PMC has not done a good job of following up 
when
reports are missed entirely, arguably contributing to our losing track 
of
low-activity podlings and delaying intervention.  I've started doing 
it a bit,
though I've missed at least one (NPanday did not file in August but 
there was
no followup AFAIK).  It might be nice to build a remedy into the 
reporting run

book -- something like this:

 After filing the report, perform the following steps for each podling
 which did not report:

 *   Edit podlings.xml to set the monthly reporting attribute for 
the

 podling.
 *   Send a message to the podling's dev list requesting that they
 file an out-of-cycle report next month as a makeup.

One possible contributing factor is that podlings are still not 
getting a
full week's notice to file their reports.  Sure, reporting isn't a 
huge task,

but when you're new to creating reports it takes much longer.

The argument that podlings ought to just know these dates and file on 
time
rather than relying on reminders[1] simply isn't getting the job done. 
 I
think we'd get better results if we expect punctuality from podlings, 
set a
good example by demonstrating punctuality ourselves, and express 
lenience by

requesting that a podling report next month rather than by accepting a
report too
late to give it the attention it deserves.

The problem is that at present the reminders have to be sent out 
manually[2],
and despite the best of intentions, humans are not ideal replacements 
for cron
jobs.  It's time to ask again: what would it take to get those 
reminders
firing with unerring reliability three weeks before the Board meeting? 
 Is it

realistic to attempt a patch eliminating the need for an svn password?

Re: [VOTE] Apache Chukwa graduation

2013-09-24 Thread Christian Grobmeier

Eric,

we discussed a little on trademarks and it has been said it is 
recommended to wait for the name search issue to resolve, but not 
necessary required. The PMC needs to decide themselves to take the risk. 
If there is an infringement reported to trademarks, it may result in 
renaming. As concerned on the ASF trademarks, I think everybody should 
complete the process.


However as an IPMC member I do not see much problems with this name. 
Therefore I withdraw my -1 and give it a +1.


Good luck!

Well, the way the rule reads today is the search process has to 
start

before a release can happen. If the name has to be cleared before a

On the end of the document one can read:

There

is no lazy consensus.

Once the name is approved, you can resolve the JIRA issue and work 
with

your new trademark. Incubator Podlings: please don't forget to update
your Incubator status page.


It says, you can only work with your trademark when VP has approved 
the

mark. For me this includes a release.

You maybe can guess that it can cause trouble when you work with a 
brand

with has not checked. Only recently we had to rename a subproject of
project because the brand was not checked accordingly.

We can either discuss about grammar or spelling issues, which this
document surely has (they are mostly my fault). Or we can simply try 
to

understand what problems it solves and act like that.

For me trademarks clearance are as important as a clean IP. If I were
you, I would keep this vote running, but make the outcome pending to 
the

response.

Now, as Jira is available to me again I can see there a couple of
(software) projects using the name Sentry already. Like for example:
getsentry.com

Given the high number of other which use the name (346 search results 
on
github) I have concerns we will run into a trademark conflict here 
and

insist you wait until trademarks@ has approved your mark.

We have already started a name search JIRA for Apache Sentry. 
Here's

the

name search JIRA for Apache Sentry:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-38

OK, then lets wait until this has been closed.


The project status page
(http://incubator.apache.org/**projects/sentry.html

http://incubator.apache.org/projects/sentry.html)

has
also been updated to reflect it.

I can't see a note. Maybe its not yet published?


I think the voting can continue on this RC.

I disagree. First clear the name, then release.

Anyway I will propose a change on the process document to make the
intention more clear.

 Well, the way the rule reads today is the search process has to start

It says, you can only work with your trademark when VP has approved the
mark. For me this includes a release.

You maybe can guess that it can cause trouble when you work with a brand
with has not checked. Only recently we had to rename a subproject of
project because the brand was not checked accordingly.

We can either discuss about grammar or spelling issues, which this
document surely has (they are mostly my fault). Or we can simply try to
understand what problems it solves and act like that.

For me trademarks clearance are as important as a clean IP. If I were

Re: [DISCUSS] [PROPOSAL] Apache Monitoring

2013-09-20 Thread Christian Grobmeier
I would like to throw in this document:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/naming.html

We should make a few tests already before we start the process officially.

here is the current list, i felt so free to add a few comments already.

- CoMon
There is Common Software, a company. We might have a trademarks
problem because of similarity.

- Leitstand
Not sure if I like the sound :-), but did not find any repositories at
github. From the meaning, a Leitstand is usually something were you can
adjust things (more power, less steam and so on). Monitoring would be
only a part of it. But on the other hand, it expresses things well and
it is a unused word so far.

- Thor
Great name, great god, but unfortunately a lot of people use that name
for their code :-(

- Balder / Baldur, also possible: Baldr
I haven't see a lot with that name, but we need to check this more in
detail.

From that perspective, Leitstand would be the best catch from a unique
point of view. I like Baldr very much from that meaning.

Lets see if there are more names the next days.

 Why not CoMon? Remind commons monitoring, that's fun and closer to
 english so easier to propagate IMO.

 So if German is en vogue already, I'd propose Apache Leitstand [1],

 means control room. I think it would make also a nice name when
 pronounced in English. This of course only works if the GUI is an
 important
 piece of the project, which is the case if I understood correctly.

 Someone proposed Baldur or Balder (note, It's a popular germanic
 god). So as a French guy this proposition looks to be rude for me :-).
 More seriously, this name doesn't hurt me.
 If any other propositions, it's time to speak.

 In

 all case well get at least a thread on it to discuss about the stack we

 Looking forward to that discussion ;) I'd prefer progressive enhancement

 Correct!
 Actually I myself did not get the idea that it could be used like that.
 Yes
 it can be used like that.
 Actually, a castafiore application (which can be a simple table) can be
 included on a page using a simple javascript or a jsp tag. So why not a
 struts plugin.
 Actually I have tried it as an echo2 framework component. It works just
 nice.

 Hi,
 Indeed, I have read the incubation proposal guide. The only thing I
 could
 not figure out is how to recruit a champion.
 However, after re-reading the guide, I missed something. I should have
 prefixed the subject of the mail with [PROPOSAL]. So I am resending the
 proposal with the proper subject.

 **
 PROPOSAL
 Abstract

 Castafiore framework is a web frameworks, fully component oriented,
 ajax
 based, one page appplication. Although the framework can be viewed as a
 classical component oriented web framework like GWT, it has been
 designed
 and implemented with a particular goal in mind. It is to be able to
 make
 existing javascript libraries java-able. Meaning that the framework
 allows to easily take a javascript library like e.g jquery ui and use
 the
 components and features via java. The integration of the javascript
 libraries need to be easy and natural.

 Actually companies like ext js and smartgwt have made their components
 java-able using GWT. I wish to provide an alternative to gwt that is
 much
 easier, fast, lightweight, and much more productive.
 Proposal

 Castafiore framework has been designed and implemented with the
 following
 goals in mind

1.

Fully object oriented
2.

Simple API that is very close to html itself
We wanted an API that is closer to html markup and javascripts event
model. I believe that this would help web developers easily
 visualize
 the
rendering when reading source code.
3.

Write a full application with only java
4.

No need for compiler to convert to javascript like gwt.Javascript is
rendered at runtime.
5.

The same API can be used to make an software that is server centric
 and
or client centric. Meaning that the user can make part of his
 application
server centric and part of his application client centric. He can of
 course
choose to make the whole application client centric or server
 centric
depending on the requirement. All of this using the same API.

 distribute their libraries as a single jar. This is very convenient for
 java developers to just download the jar, include in classpath, and using
 the library, components and feature right away in their web application in
 pure java. Furthermore the castafiore framework itself is very lightweight
 with just 2 libraries and 1 web.xml entry. Even if the java developer is
 not using castafiore in his project, he should find it easy to just drop
 the 2 libraries + web.xml entry in classpath and start using it right away.
 Very practical.*

1.

Load external resources like css and javascript lazily and efficiently
only when needed.
2.

Loading of external resources can be done eagerly if the API user wish
so.
3.

The framework does not own the whole page. Meaning that an application
created with the framework can be used in an already created page. This
allows API developer to use the framework only for very specific purposes
like for example a dynamic table, while at the same time using other web
framework like struts for the other sections of the application.
4.

Although a whole application can be created using pure java, the
framework should be able to integrate templates.
5.

By default, there should be 100% separation of logic and presentation.

 I question how well the Incubator communicates to newcomers that such
 resources are available to them.  What if a podling contributor has no people
 that they trust because they don't know anybody around here?

 I'm also skeptical that the absence of an ombud makes things easier
 because newcomers are free to find the best person to talk to.  That's like
 saying that an airport is better off without a help desk.

But there is a helpdesk. It's general@incubator.apache.org. Tons of
people are there.

I think we should tell people they can always seek help there.

I simply doubt that an appointed person who might go awol works better
than a whole list. And yes, I definitely know that general@ is not
always responsive as it should be. But why do we believe an
Ombudsperson is different?

 The difference between the Incubator's overview documentation (what we think
 you need to know) and the information in WhatToExpect (what you really need to
 know) is jarring.

 http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Process_Description.html
 http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/WhatToExpect

 If we're so approachable, why doesn't anybody know it?

it's a good point to say nobody knows how to deal with issues. But how
exactly does the Ombud solve it? We need to create a new page telling
people: if in trouble, ask the Ombudsperson. What is different to: if
in trouble, ask at general@?

What I am trying to say: it seems we have a problem with our docs and
we should fix that first instead of inventing new roles. Fixing docs
turned out not to be easy at the incubator.

I have read the whole thread. Still i am not sure when to approach an
Ombudsperson. And what powers that person have to change the problems.
Even if the Ombud knows and addresses a problem, what else can he do
than pinging general@?

What I am trying to say is: what problems do we actually have which
need to be handled through a proxy? And how do we guarantee the Ombud
is responsive, unlike some mentors or general@?

Again, I will not object if you want to start this experiment.

 Just laziness on my part...what I said there also applies to an
 Incubator ombudsman, I'll repeat it here: I don't think we need it -
 people should feel
 free to contact people that they trust (IPMC members, mentors, ASF
 members) privately if there's a need, and not having someone elected
 in the ombudsman role means people are free to talk to whoever *they*
 think will help.

 An ombudsman is there when all the normal processes don't work.  It 
 alleviates an organization from from having to heavily codify what to do in 
 all manner of situations, thus keeping things simple.

Can you point me to any cases where normal processes didn't work
which can be fixed with the Ombud?
I know we have problems releasing packages. The Ombud will not make a
difference here.
I know we have problems overseeing projects. Shepherds have helped
here. Nothing to do for an Ombud.

What else can an Ombudsperson do instead of general@?


 I'll note that most of those who seem to think that the position is not 
 needed are those who are well established and well connected in the ASF 
 community.

I am still asking my questions on general@, and never in private.
And I have a lot of questions. It's true that I am know quite a few
folks at the ASF, but I ask incubator related questions at general@.
In fact, I consider asking questions in private problematic.


 I'll also mention a point I made a while back, sometimes it's better to have 
 an ombudsman look into things rather than a random ASF member.

I am sorry if I missed an important message you already made, but
maybe you can point me to it. I didn't find it easily. I would like to
know what these things are.

Thanks!

Christian

PS: I appreciate this discussion even when I do not agree on the
necessity of the Ombudsperson (yet). The intention - making the
incubator a better place - is highly appreciated
