Re: Ode / BPEL Donation of BPEL 2.0 Engine

2006-02-17 Thread Rob Davies
Would it not be more expedient to have Ode as an umbrella project -  
but the goal would to be to try and find commonality between all the  
projects and see it's possible to merge?
It's a complex problem - no doubt (not because the individual code  
bases are complex - but they are completely different) - but we have  
a proposal, if it's accepted in its current form, we can as a  
community can start working with the code and assessing points of  
integration - to see how feasible it would be. If we all decide at  
that point it's not practicable to have one project - but need to  
have two or three - can't we make that decision later ? I don't know  
how the incubator is meant to work (still finding my feet) - but I  
would have thought the incubator would be able to work this way.


cheers,

Rob

process; we're talking complex code here. It could be that to start

mix-n-match" could well take 5 years as this is an ongoing iterative
process. Sure we'll be heading closer and closer towards a unified
engine but it could take a long time to get there (and pieces could
very well never completely merge).


What you've described is a process where Ode is by design an umbrella
project. I for one am not ready to accept an entire umbrella  
project for

incubation all at once - that's basically saying the entire discussion
about how we're going to merge stuff is an academic discussion isn't
it??

I totally agree these codebases are large and complicated (remember I
was the one who was surprised how fast people found that the Sybase
codebase was nice and cool). If you really think the best solution is
not to force them to merge then let's not go down the single project
incubation path. That's a path that'll guarantee that the project will
never graduate IMO.

I have no problem saying we're going to incubate three different BPEL
impls at the same time, but I am sure everyone realizes the reality  
that
that's likely to mean none of them will really capture a dominant  
place
in the world simply because 3's just too many. I guess that's fine  
too.

Re: Let's rewind!!! (Re: [VOTE] accept donation of a business process engine into the ServiceMix project)

I'm not sure it's consensus - more a case of folks getting fed up  
with the petty arguing and just want to get things done.

Roy - I agree - it's one of Apache's strengths. My disappointment is  
that not all the the comments have been helpful or constructive.
BTW - I in no way mean Geir's comments - I just got a bit lazy and  
hit the replyTo on his email :)

Because we care enough to have the debate.  If anyone wants silence,
they are free to go to sourceforge.  Silence is death.

I assume we'd all get to see the code under an Apache License

[SNIP]

I'll go out on a limb here :


[X] -1 I object because: ...


... I think that a BPEL engine is something that spans many of the  
WS and SOA oriented projects at the ASF, such as ServiceMix,  
Tuscany, Synapse, Agila, etc...


However, that's not my main reason, because honestly, if I was the  
only one that cared about that, I wouldn't ever attempt to stand in  
the way of people wanting to do cool things.


However, this proposal has sent up far too many red flags, has  
alienated too many people, and is causing too much of a bad feeling  
in people, for ServiceMix, for Geronimo and for the ASF in general.


I'd suggest you make a big effort to cool things down and get a  
broad conversation going, over at [EMAIL PROTECTED], drive to  
consensus, and then regroup and try again.

I Also share these concerns - is there currently a process to have  
continuous reviews throughout the entire life-cycle of all new and  
existing projects - to ensure that everything under the 'apache'  
brand is and will continue to be 'worthy' ?


Sorry if there's already a process in place - I'm new :)

that we are experiencing is indicative of our success.
Unfortunately, I don't agree with that.I think that the
incubation process is setting an incredibly low bar for access to the
Apache brand name, and this is a bad thing.


Very much agreed - I've been worried about the same for quite a while.
