[VOTE] Graduate Apache Cassandra to an Apache TLP
Greetings,
We took the feedback from the earlier discussion[1] here and added our
active mentors to the proposed PMC, (for a total of 7 people), then ran
that through a new community vote[2].
[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.incubator.general/24427
[2] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.cassandra.user/2157
There didn't seem to be any other feedback, so I'd like to start an
official vote to recommend graduation of Apache Cassandra to a top-level
project.
Please cast your vote:
[ ] +1 to recommend Cassandra's graduation
[ ] 0 don't care
[ ] -1 no, don't recommend yet, (because...)
The vote will be open for 72 hours.
Thanks,
--

I agree with this, and as a Cassandra committer I have in the past protested our use of RTC. However, the current work-flow *in practice* is more about having someone, anyone, give changes a once over (making sure they build, that tests pass, that they do what they claim, etc), before committing. I agree with you, but tabled my protest because in practice what we have is working, doesn't seem to be a barrier to contribution, and everyone seems happy with it (even the casual contributors). I actually work with these people on a daily basis, and I trust that when/if it actually does become a problem, that people will be open to changing it. > I've participated in both styles of development.

I assume you're referring to Jonathan Ellis and myself, and I'm not sure that's exactly fair. There are only 4 active committers, and of the 4, Jonathan and I spend the most time committing patches contributed by people who can't, and quite often the "review" was conducted by someone else who doesn't have commit rights and we are simply acting as a proxy. This results in a lot of svn commits made by us, for contributions that are not technically ours. As a convention, we typically put something like "Patch by $author; reviewed by $reviewer for $issue_id" in the change description. I just went through the commits scraping out those messages and it looks like Jonathan and I account for a little more than 60%, not 99%. -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Sebb's point was that they were included in the source archive but are not checked into SVN (i.e. because they were generated during release), which is certainly true.

I had thought it was needed when redistributing code with the terms that require it (and as far as I know, that's only Apache License 2.0). I was told on this list (repeatedly), that I was wrong.

Review of cassandra NOTICE and LICENSE requested.
Attached are draft copies of LICENSE and NOTICE files for the cassandra project. LICENSE is monolithic, it contains a copy of all licenses. It is meant to replace the texts we currently keep in lib/licenses. NOTICE contains an entry for all the third-party libraries in our tree (in so much as that information is available). It would be great if we could get these reviewed ahead of time so that any feedback could be incorporated before the next release vote.

[VOTE] Release cassandra 0.4.0-rc1
The Cassandra community voted on and approved the release of Apache Cassandra 0.4.0-rc1. We would now like to request the approval of the Incubator PMC for this release. Cassandra is a massively scalable, eventually consistent, distributed, structured key-value store. Podling vote thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/cassandra-...@incubator.apache.org/msg00856.html 0.4.0-rc1 artifacts: http://people.apache.org/~eevans SVN tag: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cassandra/tags/cassandra-0.4.0-rc1 Project home: http://incubator.apache.org/cassandra/ Incubation status: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/cassandra.html The vote will remain open for 72 hours (or longer if needed). There was quite a bit of discussion surrounding the last IPMC vote, so here is a list of some of the things that were brought up, and where we are are on those issues: * No zip archives We are still not generating zip archives. Hopefully that won't be an issue. * Missing SVN properties This was addressed in CASSANDRA-368 (i.e. the properties are now in place). * Licenses in lib/licenses instead of LICENSE.txt During the discussion, CASSANDRA-371 was created and a reference has since been added to the bottom of LICENSE.txt that directs people to lib/licenses for the third-party dependencies. The reason for putting third-party licenses in lib/licenses was to ease maintenance, which in turn should help guarantee that this information is up-to-date and accurate. That still seems like a valid reason so if possible, I'd like to wait for the resolution of LEGAL-31 * JUnit jar in binary archive I completely lost track of this after the discussion, and didn't notice it until after 0.4.0-rc1 was tagged and the artifacts created. I've submitted CASSANDRA-417 so that it won't be forgotten again. * Attributions in NOTICE.txt During the discussion, I explained the rationale[1] behind our NOTICE.txt, but I'm not sure that went anywhere. The example cited was Antlr, but by my understanding of the BSD license, there is no requirement that the attribution be in a top-level file let alone one named NOTICE.txt. Again, we're trying to keep things simple so that it is easier to maintain and as a result, more accurate and up-to-date. But, if this is a sore spot with IPMC voters, we'll put all attributions, required or not in NOTICE.txt. * NOTICE shouldn't have "Developers and Contributors are listed in..." This is another one I lost track of after the discussion, (CASSANDRA-415 submitted).

When preparing for the 0.3.0[0] release I spent a great deal of time trying to get all of this right. I looked at list threads for both successful and failed podling release votes, I looked at what top-level projects were doing, and I read through what documentation I could find. This wasn't as helpful as I'd have liked because the documents are non-normative and the application is inconsistent, (and occasionally contradictory). So I did the best I could. The conclusion I came to with respect to NOTICE.txt was that it existed for purposes of attribution, and was specifically in response to section 4(d) of the Apache License. As a result, the NOTICE.txt in the (approved )0.3.0 artifacts and the proposed 0.4.0, contains two attribution statements, one for the Apache licensed Groovy, and one for "software developed by The Apache Software Foundation" which should cover everything else that is Apache licensed. The conclusion I came to for LICENSE.txt was that it was for including the full license text applicable to the project itself. Both of the above conclusions seemed consistent with at least some successful podling releases, and with some ASF top-level projects, and (to the best of my knowledge), all of the license requirements for our third-party dependencies are being met. However, I'd be happy to go back and correct any shortcomings and re-roll the artifacts if that will get us the votes we need to make a release. I just wish things were more consistent and that the process required a little less groping around in the dark.
