 Thus I'm now calling a formal VOTE on the Apache Callback proposal as

 http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/46311152/apache-callback-proposal on

 Apache Callback Proposal
 

 Abstract
 

 Apache Callback is a platform for building native mobile applications
 using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

 Proposal
 

 Apache Callback allows web developers to natively target Apple iOS, Google
 Android, RIM BlackBerry, Microsoft Windows Phone 7, HP webOS, Nokia Symbian
 and Samsung Bada with a single codebase. The Callback APIs are based on
 open web standards. The Callback bridge technology enables access to native
 device capabilities. Utilizing the Callback bridge native plugins allow
 for any type of native access from the embedded webview.

 Background
 --

 Apache Callback is the free software evolution of the popular PhoneGap
 project.

 PhoneGap evolved from a hack that enabled a FFI (Foreign Function Interface)
 to an embedded WebView on iOS to a complete suite of tools for tackling
 parity across many mobile device and desktop platforms.

 PhoneGap has always focused on two complementary goals. Our first goal,
 is to see the web as a first class development platform. Not a sandbox
 without a filesystem but a real first class platform that includes access
 to the local system apis, sensors and data, in addition to first class
 tooling such as system debuggers. The second goal of PhoneGap  is for
 the project to cease to exist. This is not a nihilistic sentiment, rather
 we at the PhoneGap project are providing a reference implementation for
 web browsers to assist and guide the standardization process of browser APIs.

 The name and trademark of PhoneGap will become the commercial entity for
 the project. The source, code, documentation and related assets will all
 be contributed to the Apache Foundation as Callback.

 The Callback name comes from the event of the same name that is fired
 when the FFI bridge is established.

 Rationale
 -

 The dominate window to the web is quickly becoming devices, mostly phones.
 The manufacturers of devices, creators of mobile operating systems, and
 authors of web browsers are consolidating. (In many cases these are all
 already the same company.) Those stakeholders may see a future for the
 web but their bottom line is not necessarily motivated to participate in
 an open web. It is especially clear that while many of these platforms
 have been seeing some level of strategic neglect in favor of enhanced
 experiences at the price locking developers into their respective
 platforms. The Callback project exists to bring the focus back to an
 open and accessible web.

 Initial Goals
 -

 * License all PhoneGap source code and documentation to the Apache
  Software Foundation. (We already name the Apache license in our CLA.)
 * Setup and standardize the open governance of the Callback project.
 * Rename all assets from PhoneGap to Callback in project src, docs,
  tests and related infrastructure.

 Current Status
 --

 Callback is a mature software project recently shipping 1.0 on July 29, 2011.

 Meritocracy
 ---

 Callback has always been a project driven by merit and, in a sense, our
 solution is brute force requiring many collaborating developers to
 solve our goals.

 It would be far easier, and perhaps more correct, for the Callback
 project to port a single web browser codebase, and API bindings, across
 platforms but our executable size would be appreciably larger, unacceptably
 so for mobile, and our target abstraction would be only tertiary to
 maintaining a codebase of that size. By relying on the platform browser,
 exposed by the platform SDK, we get a quick win to the browser and only
 have to focus on our bridge. This means the project requires developers
 with proficiency on each platform: collaboration is a natural side effect.

 == Abstract ==
 Kafka is a distributed publish-subscribe system for processing large
 amounts
 of streaming data.

 == Proposal ==
 Kafka provides an extremely high throughput distributed publish/subscribe
 messaging system.  Additionally, it supports relatively long term
 persistence of messages to support a wide variety of consumers,
 partitioning
 of the message stream across servers and consumers, and functionality for
 loading data into Apache Hadoop for offline, batch processing.

 == Background ==
 Kafka was developed at LinkedIn to process the large amounts of events
 generated by that company's website and provide a common repository for
 many
 types of consumers to access and process those events. Kafka has been used
 in production at LinkedIn scale to handle dozens of types of events
 including page views, searches and social network activity. Kafka clusters
 at LinkedIn currently process more than two billion events per day.

 Kafka fills the gap between messaging systems such as Apache ActiveMQ,
 which
 provide low latency message delivery but don't focus on throughput, and log
 processing systems such as Scribe and Flume, which do not provide adequate
 latency for our diverse set of consumers.  Kafka can also be inserted into
 traditional log-processing systems, acting as an intermediate step before
 further processing. Kafka focuses relentlessly on performance and
 throughput
 by not introspecting into message content, nor indexing them on the broker.
  We also achieve high performance by depending on Java's
 sendFile/transferTo
 capabilities to minimize intermediate buffer copies and relying on the OS's
 pagecache to efficiently serve up message contents to consumers. Kafka is
 also designed to be scalable and it depends on Apache ZooKeeper for
 coordination amongst its producers, brokers and consumers.

 Kafka is written in Scala. It was developed internally at LinkedIn to meet
 our particular use cases, but will be useful to many organizations facing a
 similar need to reliably process large amounts of streaming data.
  Therefore, we would like to share it the ASF and begin developing a
 community of developers and users within Apache.

 == Rationale ==
 Many organizations can benefit from a reliable stream processing system
 such
 as Kafka.  While our use case of processing events from a very large
 website
 like LinkedIn has driven the design of Kafka, its uses are varied and we
 expect many new use cases to emerge.  Kafka provides a natural bridge
 between near real-time event processing and offline batch processing and
 will appeal to many users.

 == Current Status ==
 === Meritocracy ===
 Our intent with this incubator proposal is to start building a diverse
 developer community around Kafka following the Apache meritocracy model.
 Since Kafka was open sourced we have solicited contributions via the
 website
 and presentations given to user groups and technical audiences.  We have
 had
 positive responses to these and have received several contributions and
 clients for other languages.  We plan to continue this support for new
 contributors and work with those who contribute significantly to the
 project
 to make them committers.

 === Community ===
 Kafka is currently being used by developed by engineers within LinkedIn and
 used in production in that company. Additionally, we have active users in
 or
 have received contributions from a diverse set of companies including
 MediaSift, SocialTwist, Clearspring and Urban Airship. Recent public
 presentations of Kafka and its goals garnered much interest from potential
 contributors. We hope to extend our contributor base significantly and
 invite all those who are interested in building high-throughput distributed
 systems to participate.  We have begun receiving contributions from outside
 of LinkedIn, including clients for several languages including Ruby, PHP,
 Clojure, .NET and Python.

 To further this goal, we use GitHub issue tracking and branching
 facilities,
 as well as maintaining a public mailing list via Google Groups.

 +1 (mentor and IPMC binding)

 Some thoughts, but nothing that I would consider a show stopper since
 this
 is a source only release  (aka: not providing a prebuilt war type thing or
 deploying it to Maven central):

 1) The README mentions a Collective work: Copyright 2007, but the NOTICE
 starts the copyright at 2008.   That said, I'd just remove the License
 section
 from the README entirely.


Done.


 2) The tar unpacks into a trunk directory.   That really should unpack
 into
 a apache-esme-1.0 directory or similar.


I'll change this for the next release.



 3) The version number in the pom is still 0.3.0-SNAPSHOT.  Thus, if you
 build it, you get a snapshot war.Not a huge deal if we're not
 providing
 a binary war, but a bit unusual and unexpected.


What would be better in the pom.xml: versionapache-esme-1.0/version?



 4) Snapshot dependencies.   It has dependencies on snapshots from Lift.
 Not
 good for a release as the release isn't really reproducible.


Do you mean: lift.version1.1-SNAPSHOT/lift.version? I'll remember it for
the next release.



 5) Very minor suggestion:  if you are Java 6 only, you could exclude things
 like activation.jar, xml-apis, and most likely xerces to make the war a
 little
 bit smaller..


We are hoping to be JDK 1.5 buildable again in the future (crossing our
fingers...), so I wanted to leave these files in the release



 As far as the legal bits go, looks ok for a source release, so +1.

Re: [VOTE] Approve the release of apache-esme-incubating-1.0

Like I said - I'm seeing this first release as a learning experience (grin,

 Unfortunately I'm -1 on the release, I have a few issues including a
 GPL dependency.

 1) jwebunit dependency is GPL
 The server module depends on

 net.sourceforge.jwebunit:jwebunit-htmlunit-plugin:jar:1.4.1:test

 which according to http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/license.html is GPL.


I didn't check any maven dependencies, because they weren't part of SVN.


 2) The sha1 digest does not match, did I do something wrong?

 $ openssl sha1 apache-esme-incubating-1.0-src.tar.gz
 SHA1(apache-esme-incubating-1.0-src.tar.gz)=
 a9ec8d95266d5944d493392a06eb1651c03222f1

 $ cat apache-esme-incubating-1.0-src.tar.gz.sha
 apache-esme-incubating-1.0-src.tar.gz: A53494C8 55474CE3 5AC20516 C2448CB6
   64B3B76C 747BA64A FFC9A836 EDAB8D86
   4E0735CC AA29ACA9 07767C58 D1C0FEDA
   CA7E73A3 ADA3944D 464314B2 4BE0E476

 I'm assuming I did something wrong. It was my first attempt at signing.
I'll take another shot at it.



 3) mvn dependency:analyze of the server module shows lots of unused
 declared dependencies, those should be cleaned up, especially
 openDMK:jdmkrt:jar which according to https://opendmk.dev.java.net/ is
 either GPL or CDDL license. Not sure which parts of OpenDMK are which
 license, but as it's unused better remove it.


OK - I'll take a look at it.



 4) When trying to build esme-java-client with mvn clean install I
 get Embedded error: Error while executing the external compiler if
 JAVA_HOME is not set.


How can you deal with this via maven? Is this an ESME problem or a maven
problem?



 5) apache-esme-incubating-1.0-src.tar.gz contains .svn folders, it
 should not have that. You could have created the release using svn
 export of
 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/esme/tags/apache-esme-1.0-incubating/
 to avoid that.


OK. Didn't know that.


 6) I couldn't find license information for the
 com.twitter:stats:jar:1.3:compile dependency, was that checked to be
 ok?


Don't know - I'll have to check. This was from our JMX interface .



 Sorry that I didn't have time to look at that during the ESME podling vote.

 Apart from the GPL dependency the release preparation looks mostly ok,
 rat reports are good, license/notice are provided, etc.

Was there a Confluence Update for Apache wiki

2009-07-11 Thread Richard Hirsch
Hi,

I just noticed today that some of the ESME content (RSS feeds, license
warning for gliffy, etc).in the Apache wiki
(http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ESME/Index) is now broken
and was wondering if there has been recent change (new version, etc.).

It was working on July 8th when I added a Gliffy diagram and today, I
noticed that I'm receiving multiple warnings.

Furthermore, the exported site (http://cwiki.apache.org/ESME/) is also broken.

The tabs/cards are broken as well. I haven't changed our auto-export
template, so I'm assuming that there has been some other external
change in the wiki configuration.

Thanks,

D.

Looked at the test site
(http://confluence-test.zones.apache.org:8080/display/ESME/Index) and
the tabs are working there. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the
exported site to see if the tabs are working there.

@Don: Were the old export templates copied into the new configuration?
In the old environment, I had to add a line to the template to get it
the cards to work. Unfortunately, I didn't save what this code was
:-. If possible could you send me a copy of our old export template.

Since I don't have admin rights any more for the wiki, some nice admin
is going to have to add the code to the new export template.

Thanks.

 I guess the fix is to recreate the export template based on the new

 beats me to it. Worst case, the default export template should give

OK.

I looked at our auto-export script and this snippet is still there.

The problem still exists in our export and I'm assuming in other sites
that use cards (such as OpenEJB) as well.

Should I post a JIRA item?

Re: Suggestion regarding improvement of iCLA submission process

2009-04-23 Thread Richard Hirsch
I like the idea of using JIRA to track the iCLA status. It is already
possible to submit attachments with Jira items, so that would deal with
submissions by email. For mailed and faxed submissions, I could imagine
volunteers scanning these items, adding them to Jira and then mailing the
submitter the link to Jira item.

I'll move the discussion to legal-discuss and see what happens.
