Upayavira is not a good example of anonymity, as he is not.

I think his name is sometimes prefixed by Dh and he is quite open
about his identity. [1],[2],[3]

I trust the Foundation knows the true identity of rgb-es. IIRC, any
legal document signed by an incognito is not binding, and we should
have have all signed CLA's as individuals.

 Apache Wave Proposal (Apache Incubator)
 
 = Abstract =
 
 Apache Wave is the project where wave technology is developed at Apache.
 Wave in a Box (WIAB) is the name of the main product at the moment, which
 is
 a server that hosts and federates waves, supports extensive APIs, and
 provides a rich web client. This project also includes an implementation
 of
 the Wave Federation protocol, to enable federated collaboration systems
 (such as multiple interoperable Wave In a Box instances).
 
 = Proposal =
 
 A wave is a hosted, live, concurrent data structure for rich
 communication.
 It can be used like email, chat, or a document.
 
 WIAB is a server that hosts waves. The best analogy for this is a mail
 server with a web client. WIAB is comprised of a few high-level
 components:
 the client and the server. They have the following major functionality
 (though this is not an exhaustive list):
 
 * Client
 *A dynamic web client for users to create, edit, and search waves. Users
 can access this client by directly visiting the server in a browser.
 * Gadgets provide the ability to insert, view, and modify the UI --
 exposing the Wave Gadgets API (
 http://code.google.com/apis/wave/extensions/gadgets/guide.html)
 * A console client that can create and edit waves via a
 command-line-like
 interface.
 * Server
 * Hosts and stores waves. WIAB comes with a default storage mechanism.
 The
 administrators of the server may configure it to use alternative storage
 mechanisms.
 * Indexing, allowing for searching the waves a user has access to.
 * Basic authentication, configurable to delegate to other systems.
 * Federation, allowing separate Wave in a Box servers to communicate
 with
 each other using the Wave Federation Protocol (
 http://www.waveprotocol.org/federation).
 * Robots, using the Wave Robots API, (
 http://code.google.com/apis/wave/extensions/robots/) may interact with
 waves
 on a WIAB instance.
 
 = Background =
 
 Wave expresses a new metaphor for communication: hosted conversations.
 This
 was created by Lars and Jens Rasmussen after observation of people's use
 of
 many separate forms of communication to get something done, e.g, email,
 chat, docs, blogs, twitter, etc.
 
 The vision has always been to better the way people communicate and
 collaborate. Building open protocols and sharing code available in an
 open
 and free way is a critical part of that vision. Anyone should be able to
 bring up their own wave server and communicate with others (much like
 SMTP).
 
 We hope this project will allow everyone to easily gain the benefits of
 Wave
 with a standard implementation of Wave – in a box.
 
 = Rationale =
 
 Wave has shown it excels at small group collaboration when hosted by
 Google.
 Although Wave will not continue as a standalone Google product, there is
 a
 lot of interest from many organizations in both running Wave and building
 upon

On 12 Nov 2009, at 03:16, Greg Stein wrote:


Not a strong opinion, but I think that RTC hampers the free-flow of
ideas, experimentation, evolution, and creativity. It is a damper on
expressivity. You maneuver bureaucracy to get a change in. CTR is
about making a change and discussing it. But you get *forward
progress*.

I also feel that RTC will tend towards *exclusivity* rather than the
Apache ideal of *inclusivity*. That initial review is a social and
mental burden for new committers. People are afraid enough of
submitting patches and trying to join into a development community,
without making them run through a front-loaded process.

I've participated in both styles of development. RTC is *stifling*. I
would never want to see that in any Apache community for its routine
development (branch releases are another matter).

My opinion is that it is very unfortunate that Cassandra feels that it
cannot trust its developers with a CTR model, and pushes RTC as its
methodology. The group-mind smashes down the creativity of the
individual, excited, free-thinking contributor.



+1, having experienced both,
IMVHO
RTC shrinks a community to a core team of dedicated and highly  
knowledgeable committers.

CTR expands and educates a community

not least because committed mistakes demand fixing by the committer  
and then anyone who can fix the bug. The only downside is that  
occasionally trunk wont build/run and if trunk is close to production  
that probably matters.


Shindig is mostly RTC, and was very close to big production.
Sling is mostly CTR

see it much more as a development methodology with little community

and therefore no real influence on graduation. Strong opinions here?

Openmeetings looks very interesting. I notice Red5, and see Paul  
Querna asked a question. I have 2 questions for my own education more  
than anything,


What's the status of OpenLazlo wrt Apache Projects? I see it has a  
long list of dependencies with all sorts of licenses [1] but have no  
idea if there is a runtime or distribution binding that matters ?


I hate to bring this up , but I have to ask (sorry)
Also, are there any problems between Red5 and Adobe in terms of  
patents on the Flash Media Server protocols. IIRC Adobe have some  
patents in this area but I have no idea if they are relevant and  
enforceable or would want to enforce them against an open source  
project?

Quick summary:
OpenMeetings is Web Conferencing application that fits into

business sector. You can make conference sessions in different room- 
types

with up to 100 peoples in a Room. It contains all main features of Web
Conferencing: Audio/Video, Whiteboard, Screen Sharing, Chat and  
Moderation
System. It is translated into more then 20 languages and its a basic  
goal of
OpenMeetings to be easy to embed into existing environments. It  
already uses

many of Apache Technologies like Tomcat, Mina, Velocity, Commons, ...

You may find all existing documents and further material on the  
GoogleCode

just
like a Library, we don't modify Red5-Code. We use the API that it  
provides

to connect to the clients and the other way round.



Ok, thanks I am informed and educated, sorry for digging.

Oliver,
shindig-dev is going to be a better place to ask this sort of question.
General is for managing *all* incubator projects.

Hi,

We are thinking of providing an OpenSocial Container. I wonder if a

access the opensocial api implementation of social network A or can
only access the opensocial implementation of our network?

[RESULT][VOTE] Release Apache Incubator Shindig 1.0 (RC4)

2009-06-19 Thread Ian Boston

Hi,

On the advice of our mentors the abandoned vote to release Apache  
Incubator Shindig 1.0 (RC4) was left open pending other votes from the  
IPMC or -1 votes blocking the release.


We have now received sufficient votes to release, being 2 non binding,  
and 3 binding +1 votes, no 0 or -1 votes as listed below in addition  
to the 7 +1 binding votes from the podling.


Paul Lindner +1 (non binding)
Ian Boston +1 (non binding)
Ant Elder +1 (binding)
Leo Simons +1 (binding)
Sylvain Wallez +1 (binding)

I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who gave their  
time to review this release, especially Sebb who's forensic  
observation identified many of the problems.


Thank you everyone at this very busy time leading up to your members  
meeting.

Ian

[VOTE ABANDONED] Release Apache Incubator Shindig version 1.0 (RC4)

2009-06-15 Thread Ian Boston

Hi,
This vote has now been in progress for 14 days and has not received  
the necessary number of votes from the IPMC to make a release. There  
has been 1 +1 binding vote, 1 +2 non-binding vote and no other votes.  
The vote on shindig-dev resulted in 7 +1 binding votes, no +0 or -1's



Votes so far
Paul Lindner +1 (non binding)
Ian Boston +1 (non binding)

   Ant Elder +1 (binding)

Given the period of time that this vote has been open, it is unlikely  
that any more votes will be received and therefore I am closing this  
vote as abandoned.




If there is a reason why members of the IPMC have decided not to vote  
on this release, I would like to hear them, before spending the time  
doing another release and wasting the IPMC's time. I will obviously  
fix the confirmed non blocker issues identified by Sebb, but the PPMC  
and Shindig community has been wanting and trying to release since  
January and the expenditure of more effort appears futile *if* there  
is something fundamentally wrong with the release that is not being  
said.


Thank you
Ian Boston.

I don't think you should give up on this vote yet, its only been 4

it'd be worth trying to get another couple of votes for a bit longer.

They are generated by JPA when it build the tests giving the default

It would be better if the test files were generated in a directory

Good point, I will fix.

IYO, are any of these release blockers ?



The source archive is supposed to be derivable from SVN, which is why
I asked where the extra files came from. I suppose this is true here.

It's not ideal to leave test output in the source archive; but it is
probably not a release blocker.

However, if I were the RM, I would create another release candidate.

Your call.


In light of Paul's comment and the amount of time we (I) have taken  
over getting this release out, I would like to leave the release as  
is, and fix all the problems identified so far in this release, in the  
1.1 release asap.

The file README.svn has a misleading name; it ought to be called

This is wrong, it should start with the text as described here:

http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice


ok, will fix.




The top-level NOTICE file (and java/NOTICE) also contains details of
the crypto requirements.

These are supposed to be in a README file, see:

http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html#inform



will fix.




NOTICE mentions opensocial-resources, PHPUnit and Zend, but
LICENSE mentions  PHPUnit, Zend and jsmin.php.

I would expect LICENSE to include a mention of opensocial-resources
NOTICE should probably have a mention of jsmin.php


will fix, verifying the exact license text of the OpenSocial Resources  
at the moment.





Release archives

There is no need for .asc.md5 and .asc.sha1 hashes; delete them before
deployment


Ok will do.




Binary archives
===
The war file contains lots of 3rd party libraries.
None of these are mentioned in the NOTICE or LICENCE files.


I was reliably informed that this was discussed on the Maven list in  
March 2008 (subject: legal-discuss)  and for binary distributions that  
are created by the war packager that contained 3rd party libraries the  
DEPENDENCIES file was sufficient to comply with ASF rules.


For source distributions, if any were bundled, they would require  
mention in NOTICE or LICENSE in the appropriate form, but AFAIK, there  
are no 3rd party libraries included that are not in those files.


please advise on this one.




The N  L files in the java jar files are mostly OK, except
java-features has an incorrect NOTICE file.

Source archives
===
The tgz and zip files have the same files as each other, and the same
files as SVN.

However, most of the files in the archives are different from the  
files in SVN.

The source files have additional empty lines at the end, and the PNG
files are unusable.
There's clearly something wrong with the way the files have been added
to the archives.


Will fix, thanks for spotting this one.




README.svn has 3 spelling mistakes:

6: supliment = supplement
15,29: it's = its

I've not tried building or testing the release


Will fix.

Thanks for reviewing,
Sorry to have brought this to the PMC with these errors.
First releases are liable to have problems but thank you for you  
continuing patience.
