Well, let's try to solve this once and for all. Sure, Kato is not a
full-fledged ASF process Incubator-wise, but at the same time it may
have passed the IP clearance stage so it may be argued that it is
ASF's IP and ASF responsability, which in turn may justify keeping it
shelved in the Attic.

As an Attic PMC member, who is also very well aware of lack of
volunteers over there, I couldn't be happier with a policy stating
that failed incubating projects are just rm'd, but I don't think we
never came up with a clear decision on that. And I would like to make
sure it's the right thing to do in the first place.

[1] http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CloudStackProposal




Abstract

CloudStack is an IaaS (Infrastracture as a Service) cloud
orchestration platform.

Proposal

CloudStack provides control plane software that can be used to create
an IaaS cloud. It includes an HTTP-based API for user and
administrator functions and a web UI for user and administrator
access. Administrators can provision physical infrastructure (e.g.,
servers, network elements, storage) into an instance of CloudStack,
while end users can use the CloudStack self-service API and UI for the
provisioning and management of virtual machines, virtual disks, and
virtual networks.

Citrix Systems, Inc. submits this proposal to donate the CloudStack
source code, documentation, websites, and trademarks to the Apache
Software Foundation (ASF).

Background

Amazon and other cloud pioneers invented IaaS clouds. Typically these
clouds provide virtual machines to end users. CloudStack additionally
provides baremetal OS installation to end users via a self-service
interface. The management of physical resources to provide the larger
goal of cloud service delivery is known as orchestration. IaaS
clouds are usually described as elastic -- an elastic service is one
that allows its user to rapidly scale up or down their need for
resources.

A number of open source projects and companies have been created to
implement IaaS clouds. Cloud.com started CloudStack in 2008 and
released the source under GNU General Public License version 3 (GPL
v3) in 2010. Citrix acquired Cloud.com, including CloudStack, in
2011. Citrix re-licensed the CloudStack source under Apache License v2
in April, 2012.

Rationale

IaaS clouds provide the ability to implement datacenter operations in
a programmable fashion. This functionality is tremendously powerful
and benefits the community by providing:

- More efficient use of datacenter personnel
- More efficient use of datacenter hardware
- Better responsiveness to user requests
- Better uptime/availability through automation

While there are several open source IaaS efforts today, none are
governed by an independent foundation such as ASF. Vendor influence
and/or proprietary implementations may limit the community's ability
to choose the hardware and software for use in the datacenter. The
community at large will benefit from the ability to enhance the
orchestration layer as needed for particular hardware or software
support, and to implement algorithms and features that may reduce cost
or increase user satisfaction for specific use cases. In this respect
the independent nature of the ASF is key to the long term health and
success of the project.

Initial Goals

The CloudStack project has two initial goals after the proposal is
accepted and the incubation has begun.

The Cloudstack Project's first goal is to ensure that the CloudStack
source includes only third party code that is licensed under the
Apache License or open source licenses that are approved by the ASF
for use in ASF projects. The CloudStack Project has begun the process
of removing third party code that is not licensed under an ASF
approved license. This is an ongoing process that will continue into
the incubation period. Third party code contributed to CloudStack
under the CloudStack contribution agreement was assigned to Cloud.com
in exchange for distributing CloudStack under GPLv3. The CloudStack
project has begun the process of amending the previous CloudStack
contribution agreements to obtain consent from existing contributors
to change the CloudStack project's license. In the event that an
existing contributor does not consent to this change, the project is
prepared to remove that contributor's code. Additionally, there are
binary dependencies on redistributed libraries that are not provided
with an ASF-approved license. Finally, the CloudStack has source files
incorporated from third parties that were not provided with an
ASF-approved license. We have begun the process of re-writing this
software. This is an ongoing process that will extend into the
incubation period. These issues are discussed in more detail later in
the proposal.

Although CloudStack is open source, many design documents and
discussions that should have been publicly available and accessible
were not publicized. The Project's second goal will be to fix this
lack of transparency by encouraging the initial committers to
publicize technical

 Missing reports: Droids, HISE, Stonehenge

 milestone release, and is discussing being archived.  There appears to be
 disappointment over the perceived disappearance of Microsoft and WSO2.

Just for the sake of completeness, it's not really like Microsoft has
disappeared as MS committers have been the ones suggesting the project
folds down and, despite missing the board report deadline, are active
in ensuring a smooth transition to whatever is next for the project.
As discussed on the Stonehenge mailing list, it just seems the the
project - as it has been scoped - has matured to a point where there
is little value to add (also given the technology landscape wrt WS-I).
It should also be noted that other key contributors (Sun and Spring)
appear to have already left the building.

Now that I am relocated in Redmond (and, incidentally, working next
door to Kamaljit Bath who is one of the main MS contributors), I am
willing to help streamlining this transition and support closing down

Re: [PROPOSAL] OpenCMIS incubator for Content Mangement Interoperability Services (CMIS)

2009-12-10 Thread Gianugo Rabellino
Paul, thanks for your reply. Some quick comments:

On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 9:19 AM, Goetz, Paul paul.go...@sap.com wrote:
 Hi Bertrand, hi Giuanugo,

 we discussed that with Florent Guillaume (from Chemistry) already.

 There are two aspects here, let me start with the technical one:
 As stated in the proposal: Chemistry aims to have a broader scope (including 
 server implementations and mappings to JCR). OpenCMIS is about protocol 
 handling (SOAP and AtomPub) only.

From 10.000 feet, it seems like OpenCMIS might be used by Chemistry, then?

 At least to me (as a CMIS consumer), Chemistry is difficult to understand 
 since both parts (SPI and API) are not clearly separated. With OpenCMIS, we 
 aim for a clear separation between provider interfaces (SPI) and client 
 interfaces (API). What's also missing from my perspective is a better 
 mechanism for the client to control the write-through operations behind the 
 objects.

Let me see if I'm getting it straight - what you are saying is that it
would be hard to decouple Chemistry from JCR so that you might use it
for another server implementation? If that's the case, I (kinda, as
JCR should be pretty OK to that extent) see your point - otherwise I'm
a bit lost I'm afraid.

 The second aspect is organizational:
 It will be difficult to align the APIs right now. When discussing that with 
 Florent we came to the conclusion that either we start a sandbox in 
 Chemistry, or we start a project in parallel.
 After some further discussions (involving Justin Erenkrantz to get some 
 guidance), we decided for a new project to avoid the confusion of having two 
 API approaches in one project.
 Therefore we would suggest to start with a new podling, and decide on how to 
 do a merge/combination of Chemistry and OpenCMIS later.

I wish this discussion happened on chemistry-dev, and I would actually
like to see what the community as a whole thinks about it. I'd
actually prefer to see OpenCMIS possibly spinning off from Chemistry
after an unsuccessful integration attempt rather than merging at a
later time.

 And there are other Apache products co-existing in parallel (e.g. Axis and 
 CXF, just to pick one example), and the ASF has never stated that this has to 
 be avoided. So to me, it seemed that the idea of having two projects in 
 parallel isn't that bad.

Oh, there are plenty, and duplication isn't inherently bad. The
difference here (and it's a big one in my book) is that we are talking
about two different podlings, with all the related issues of
incubating projects such as finite resources and whatnot. And the fact
they both aim to implement an unfinished spec doesn't quite help.

May I suggest we move this discussion to the Chemistry lists in order
to seek consensus over there? That would allow you to return to the
Incubator with a proposal  properly addressing the duplication issue.
If there is a thorough discussion over there, and a general agreement
(including agreeing to disagree), I'll be happy to sign up as a
mentor/champion for OpenCMIS.

 Hi,

 well, sorry that the discussion did not happen on the Chemistry mailing list.

 But for those being employees needing a legal clearance from their employer, 
 before they can contribute or mail to a mailing list, it is difficult to do 
 that in an early stage...

I understand and sympathize, but if this is the kind of issues you are
facing, I would suggest that you have much bigger problems to solve
than an Open Source project. Actually, your statement is extremely
worrisome, as you should be aware that in Apache you have to act as an
individual: it's fine that you bring your company agenda to the table,
but it's also important that you are able to decide based on pure
technical merit and exercise your judgement as an individual. If you
don't feel that's the case - and indeed I can smell some issues here -
maybe the ASF is not the right place for you and you will find a more
corporate-friendly environment somewhere else (Eclipse comes to mind).

 We have a working code base already - discussing the modus operandi and a 
 potential merge with Chemistry seems to be time consuming to me (compared to 
 doing a review once the entire OpenCMIS code is available and stabilized). 
 Wouldn't it be worth to give it a try?

I'm not going to formally stop you, but I would say that giving it a
try just for the sake of it is not quite the right way to start. You
have to realize that incubating a project requires time and dedication
from the Incubator PMC as a whole, from your mentors and from the
champion: it's no small feat by any stretch of imagination. Letting
you start incubating without properly scrutinizing the issue of how
you might relate with another podling just because your employer makes
it difficult to have an open discussion to a mailing list doesn't
sound a single bit right to me.

 I'm working (day job!) on a Java interface to the MySQL Cluster database
 (a.k.a. NDB). NDB is a high performance, high availability database used
 mostly in telecommunications applications. It can be the backing store for a
 MySQL server (accessed via any of the MySQL client APIs such as ODBC, JDBC)
 or can be used directly via primitive C++ or Java APIs.

 What I've been developing is a high performance, easy-to-use Java interface
 to NDB that bypasses the MySQL Server and instead goes directly to the
 native NDB API. I've used a Domain Object Model similar to Hibernate, JDO,
 and JPA.

 I'd like to work on this in Apache and would like to discuss the
 opportunities with folks at ApacheCon. If this looks interesting, please let
 me know. I'll post a proposal to the incubator wiki if there is positive
 feedback.

Interesting! However, I assume the MySQL side is all GPL. How does it
mix 'n match with the Apache License?

Thanks,

Good point.  Here is the current list of committers and their last

I'm counting 8 employees of Day who are not-Roy (I trust you

constituting
the initial PMC.  As such, I'm afraid I must cast -1 at this time  
soley

on the issue of diversity, to graduate this to a TLP.  That vote would
change as diversity continues to increase (which I trust it will.)

I wouldn't have the same concern graduating this podling into a  
diverse
TLP as a new subproject, so I cast +1 at graduating into an  
existing TLP.
As a subproject of a larger existing PMC they would address the  
issue of
diversity in that forum, instead of in incubator, and this would be  
fine.


Another option is for some existing PPMC members unaffiliated with Day
to stay on as mentors of a new TLP, rather than retiring just yet.


Well, if that helps a very deserving project to be graduated, I'll be  
more than happy to keep on serving in its PMC. I asked to be turned  
into emeritus because all I did during these years was providing  
advocacy and oversight (given Roy was there, this basically turned  
out to a few +1, but hey), with no code contribution whatsoever. But  
I'm still here and willing to help.

Yes, you're right, the Website is german. Thats why I just want to start
with the process and do the remaining stuff for that donation in that
time.
Unfortunately (well, for you, not for Apache :-)) it doesn't work like 
this with the ASF. If you carefully read all the project guidelines and 
incubation proposals you'll see that to get into Apache you have to 
follow a very strict set of requirements in terms of community first and 
 code base next (but community is what really matters).

While I understand that it might sound harsh to you (the typical 
reaction is like what the heck, I'm givin my cool stuff away and those 
guys are being picky?), this is one of the main reasons for Apache to 
continue serving just the best of breed in Open Source software. If 
you'll be patient enough, I'm sure you'll learn to appreciate the 
Apache Way.


Because of ongoing server problems you can test the Application under:
http://213.252.141.109/admin/ 
To get access to the Admin Tool try following:
User: BT
Passwd: test
Hmmm... I'm getting an 'Error during logon: null' which doesn't seem 
much promising. :-/
