 Hi all,

 the Marmotta podling, whose goal is to provide an Open Platform for

 codebase has stabilized and two releases were published following ASF
 policies and guidelines.
 The community has grown, two new committers have joined the development
 team and more people joined the mailing lists.

 The last incubator report lists Marmotta as Ready to graduate [1], the
 Marmotta community has decided to take this step [2] and agreed on a
 Graduation Resolution Draft [3] which is also attached below.

 The resolution draft was posted to general@incubator.a.o for discussion

 I want to clarify that this vote is for the Stratos project to enter

 separate issue that will be explored during the first month of

There is a guide [1] in the Apache Incubator website that helps you to

Re: Logo proposal for the Marmotta incubating project

[Nandana Mihindukulasooriya]

We know that Apache Project Branding Requirements [1] applies to
top-level projects. Does the podling have to follow the same ?

The contributors followed Podling name search guide while they were
making the proposal. Can a podling do the official name search [2] which
they can use to become TLP later at anytime during the podling ?

 Honestly, I don't understand why we should continue in this mode for

 Is this the extra-bonus IPMC time


Thinking in general not on this specific case, may be we can define a
formal warning for retirement for podlings where the PPMC has to come up
with a concrete plans for the next six months and some measurable goals.
Once the formal warning is issued, it can be processed by the clutch [1]
and also show the elapsed time. In 3 months, 6 months, 9 months mentors and
IPMC can decide whether to remove the warning or not. After one year, if
there is no significant change and the goals are not archived, IPMC can
easily decide in favor of retirement because they know the history of the
issue. At the same time, every three months until retirement PPMC will be
notified that they are still under the warning (I think this is somewhat
happening even now, as I've seen from Jukka's replies to the board
reports), so they will have reasonable time to take action. Of course, we
don't need a process like this in the case of the PPMC unanimously agree
for retirement.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache Linda

[Nandana Mihindukulasooriya]

Hi,


 out of curiosity - how does this relate to or maybe even complement Eclipse
 Lyo [1]? For instance is Lyo one of the Enterprise Linked Data scenarios
 which you have been mentioning above?

 [1] http://www.eclipse.org/lyo/


Eclipse Lyo is focused on OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration)
. OSLC tries to solve to the issue [1] of
integrating variety application life-cycle management (ALM) tools using the
Linked Data principles. To do so, they define a set of specifications [2]
including a core specifications and a specification to each of the
different domains in ALM (eg. requirement management, change management,
quality management, etc.) that define a minimum common vocabulary needed
for integration and some additional features required for tool integration
like delegated UI, Resource Shape, and a simplified query syntax. There
is an overlap of OSLC Core and LDP specifications as both of them define a
basic protocol for Linked Data based applications. According to the wiki of
OSLC Core specification [3], work is current advancing on version 3.0 and
alignment with W3C member submission on Linked Data Basic Profile and the
work of the W3C Linked Data Platform working group. Currently Lyo provides
[4] a Java (and Perl) SDK for OSLC, a set of reference implementatons for
each domain like Change Management, and an OLSC test suite.

IMHO, you are right, OSLC is one of the Enterprise Linked Data scenarios.

The main difference I see is that Eclipse Lyo is focused on
Application Life-cycle Management domain where as LDP / Marmotta project
will provide a more general purpose LDP implementation where wide variety
of Linked Data applications (Enterprise, Open Data, exposing legacy data,
etc.) can be built. Depending on how things progress and the choice of the
Lyo community, Lyo might be able to use Marmotta for adapting LDP.

Nandana

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache Linda

[Nandana Mihindukulasooriya]

I have to say when I heard the name Linda, I really liked it because it
is short, catchy, easy to remember and goes well with Linked Data. But I
totally agree that it is good to avoid any name conflict issues or
trademark issues in this early stage where it is easily possible. I was
thinking whether LindaWeb or WebLinda would be an alternative choice.

Nandana
