Chris and I have bowed out in favor of Jukka. No one else was nominated except Noel, and Noel made it clear that he was ready to make way for a new chair if the community chose one. Bertrand and/or Sam asked us to try to reach a consensus on one candidate. So, this vote tests a consensus to install Jukka in place of Noel. If no one objects, I personally think that the question is entirely answered. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

I believe in that role I could be more effective in focusing more of our collective attention at where I think it would do most good - at the actual podlings we're here to help. That said, the current incubation process clearly has problems and I very much support efforts to improve the way we work (even if the result is to replace the Incubator with something better). However, I'd like to leave the leadership on these efforts to others and, as mentioned elsewhere, rather try to act as a balancing force that helps achieve consensus where possible. Should I be elected, I'd resign as the chairman of the Jackrabbit PMC. In fact I think it's in any case high time for Jackrabbit to be rotating that role. Finally, if elected (and assuming the IPMC still exists), I'd serve for at most two years before calling for a re-election, or possibly much less if I don't find enough free cycles to perform the duty as well as it should.

+1 for Jukka As Sam said, the others are good candidates as well and Noel also did a wonderful job all the years.

I have observations (1) Why is the IPMC different from other PMCs and holding a personnel VOTEs on a public ML? (2) Why is there such a hurry to call a [VOTE] without a prior [DISCUSS]? (3) Why can't Chris start new threads by using New Message rather than a reply to a prior thread with a subject change?

However, I'd like to leave the leadership on these efforts to others and, as mentioned elsewhere, rather try to act as a balancing force that helps achieve consensus where possible. Should I be elected, I'd resign as the chairman of the Jackrabbit PMC. In fact I think it's in any case high time for Jackrabbit to be rotating that role. Finally, if elected (and assuming the IPMC still exists), I'd serve for at most two years before calling for a re-election, or possibly much less if I don't find enough free cycles to perform the duty as well as it should.

Hi Ross, Sorry, I didn't see a mail from Noel, but he's already the chair. If this VOTE isn't successful, then he'll remain the chair. If you want to explicitly call a VOTE for Noel, go ahead, but this is the VOTE I am interested in calling, thanks!

[VOTE] Jukka Zitting for IPMC Chair (was Re: NOMINATIONS for Incubator PMC Chair)
Hi Folks, OK there has been enough discussion here. It's time to VOTE for a new IPMC chair and it looks like the remaining folks (including me) that were in the running have aligned beyond the following nominee: Jukka Zitting. Suffice to say, he was *my first choice* :) In the interest of moving the current discussion matters forward, please VOTE on this recommendation to the board by the IPMC. I'll leave the VOTE open for at least the next 72 hours: [ ] +1 Recommend Jukka Zitting for the IPMC chair position. [ ] +0 Don't care. [ ] -1 Don't recommend Jukka Zitting for the IPMC chair position because... Note that only VOTEs from the Incubator PMC members are binding, but all are welcome to voice their opinion and it will be recorded in the final tallies. Finally, just to note, these VOTEs on personnel are normally the only thing in Apache that is discussed in private (human/social issues), but in the interest of openness and transparency that has been demonstrated here during these discussions, I will hold this VOTE on the public list.

Re: NOMINATIONS for Incubator PMC Chair
Hi, After consideration and some convincing (thanks!), I've decided to throw also my hat into the ring as a candidate to be the next chairman of the IPMC. I believe in that role I could be more effective in focusing more of our collective attention at where I think it would do most good - at the actual podlings we're here to help. That said, the current incubation process clearly has problems and I very much support efforts to improve the way we work (even if the result is to replace the Incubator with something better).

Re: Nomination of Chris Mattman for the IPMC Chair (was: Re: NOMINATIONS for Incubator PMC Chair)
Jim, I think you have expressed my concerns perfectly. Mentors care for the podlings. Someone has to care for the mentors. Not all mentors need help, not all podlings need help. We should provide *support* all the way down for when it is needed. We should not confuse interference with support. GSoC was announced yesterday, we have enough experienced admins available already. This means I am now happy, as ComDev chair to be active in a new podling mentor support model. I look forward to figuring out the right balance with those who want to make it happen.

I think we all agree about that. What has the most significant effect on success, or failure of podlings? Is it the IPMC, or the mentor/PPMC interaction? IMO, it's the latter. Assuming we agree about that, then how do we "fix" things... or, in other words, what mechanism do we use to help watch the watchers... IMO, that has been and is the duty of the IPMC. Is the IPMC doing that well? It seems that there is some opinion that it is not... For those who think that way, is there the underlying assumption that all podlings must succeed? That somehow a more "active" IPMC could turn things around? IMO, an Incubator (who watches the watchers) is needed; it needs to exist to review not how the podlings themselves are doing, but how the mentors are doing. There needs to be a VERY clear chain of responsibility, and adding new roles and tasks only makes sense if it *simplifies* things or fills holes. Mentors guide the podlings... they encourage. But the podling lives or dies by how *it* handles that guidance and encouragement. If the mentor is failing in his/her task, that is up to the IPMC to know and act upon. Mentors worry about how the podling is doing. The IPMC worries about how the mentors are doing. That's as complex as it needs to be. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Where strong and clear mentorship existed the IPMC has worked just fine. Where absent the IPMC has failed. This is the core of my concerns. Once the proposal explicitly addresses or prevents the circumstances in which strong mentorship is lacking I'll be happy. I wish people would stop arguing with me as if I am saying the IPMC should stay, can people please address my expressed concern, rather than someone welded concerns. Ross

The IPMC never served that purpose. Projects were scuttled even in its first year. The IPMC served to take the complexity of bringing in new code off of the board of directors. Little more. The IPMC in turn replaced Jakarta as the repository of interesting experiments that might or might not fly, and similarly replaced Jakarta as the home of vague and uncertain direction for new efforts. Nothing more. A large percentage of the first 25 incubating efforts are failures, not because of the incubator, but in spite of it. The incubator failed to increase the success rate of the average effort. And the board would have failed in bringing in new efforts, and the Incubator would have failed as spectacularly as Jakarta, except that Chris and others recognize the few good bits to be gleaned from the whole experiment, and can relieve the board of the majority of the headaches it was avoiding, in partnership with ComDev. We now not only internalize, and can voice the process, but we have documented the process. Anyone can read it. Any member can help mentor it, and point people to the appropriate docs. The incubator truly is done. It is the most public, most ineffective old boys club ever to infest OSS. It has digested and documented all of the useful bits, and persists in infernally arguing over the rest of the undocumented and mostly irrelevant bits. It does so in a very embarrassingly public way. There are three memes to associate with those who resist the change that Chris has correctly proscribed; 1. Lack of control is hard. We all want authority. The incubator gave every member a podium and soapbox to stand upon and speak across with authority. And even in discord and disagreement, we are ASF members, so clearly we individually know better. [Given the number of ASF members leaving the incubator recently, one might question that.] 2. Fear of missteps is hard. We've watched every project at the ASF teeter, occasionally trip, and rarely but significantly fall upon their 'face' due to missteps. So it's hard to give up control because we know better how to avoid all that. [The administration and day to day activity of incubator would suggest we don't]. 3. Risk of failure is hard. There will be projects which are going to fall flat whether the incubator provides them 24x7 counseling or makes them do all the work themselves. There is nothing that the present IPMC does which alleviates or even mitigates this fact. [In spite of everyone's best intentions.] The incubator is a classic story of too many cooks spoiling the broth. There is no more added value which can be offered by the situation at the incubator today. The results of the incubator in terms of documentation and process are excellent. It's time to eliminate the differentiation between 'not yet a project' and 'a full project too long neglected' and focus all ASF resources across the board at all of the projects, incubating and established, and stop wasting time hoping that some special sauce only from the back kitchen makes that difference. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

The IPMC once had a useful function, it was a safety net for fledgling communities. My main message after reading this reply is to ask you to take the weekend off. Have a think about what I have been saying. In most of my mails I have said I *like* your proposal. You are railing against the wrong person. What I am concerned about is not the intent but the execution. I just don't like that your proposal pushes all the problem cases to someone else. I like it even less that you don't seem to recognise these problem cases exist. You seem to think all podlings are plain sailing because you're lucky enough to have been involved with some that are "easy" or have had excellent mentors. Not all are like that. If your proposal included a higher barrier to entry and thus weeded out the hard cases then I might see things differently. But you don't appear to be doing that and I'm concerned that the hard cases will end up with the board who will then seek to push it back down to ComDev. You've now stated that you are willing to go more slowly than originally proposed. This is a good thing. This means you will give yourself time to find those hard cases and ensure there is a safety net for them (or a barrier to entry, whichever is more appropriate).

Well what do you expect? Everyone is chiming in, and I'm doing my best to reply to all the emails but I can't keep up. Also, I will state that in response to "...you seem to be making significant assumptions about what flesh there would be on those bones.", you are doing *precisely* the same thing in your responses below. > >> >> >>> As I >>> mentioned before, I believe there are aspects to incubation that >>> require a supportive group which cannot simply be shifted to the >>> podling-TLP >> >> I don't agree with this.

It has turned > to oversight and interference. Your proposal, in it's current form, will > remove the interference but will not revive the guidance. First off, the incubator isn't the only committee that's demonstrated relying on mentors (which I'll substitute ASF members for) is not always sufficient. *Every* single committee does that. That's why they have a VP, but beyond that, that's why we have a board, and the VPs are accountable to the board. And that's why the board can replace a VP, b/c they don't always get it right; or because of other priorities, or recommendations; or because they get TL;DR after reading Mattmann's emails. Or whatever. Second, my proposal in its current form does the best job I know of with the ASF of addressing guidance. It puts it in the hand of a VP for a project (formerly called a podling) and that project's Project Management Committee. And it also requires 3 ASF members to be there. That's the best way I know how to do it. And, if you'll recall Jim's message to the members in the past 2 years about "internal belly gazing" or "navel" gazing or whatever the word was when he was talking about the foundation as a whole and how even though there have been little blips over the years, it's still largely been a successful model. Finally, my proposal (despite Marvin's comments about boiling the ocean -- no worries Marvin :) ) addresses what I think are concrete, actionable steps and does *not* try to boil the ocean. Those concrete, actionable steps are things that can be monitored and acted upon over the coming months (and yes they can even be reverted, though I hope not!). Sure, I'd love for the Incubator to be dissolved at the next board meeting because I think all the extra drum beating and "data points" and whatever that people want and keep clamoring for are already there if you've been active in the Incubator and watching which podlings succeed and which don't, and whatever, and I don't think the sky would fall, nor would we suddenly become the wild west . But, I'm realistic. Based on the feedback so far, I am willing to concede that this will take time, months. I'm even willing to concede that during that time, I'll (or someone else) will volunteer time to assist in that transition and report to the board. > > The ASF is not just a place to host open source.

Most incoming projects are not Apache infects on day 1. Your proposal, as it stands, will result in a new kind of Apache. One in which the average standard of IP management is reduced. One in which the strength of the average community is reduced. Despite all this I like you're proposal. It has a great deal of merit, but it is incomplete. All that is required for me to like it is to say, this is the starting point, lets identify suitable projects that can survive in this format. Work with them and address the issues that emerge. Later we can move the more complex projects into this format.

I like the simplicity of erasing the layer of management that is the Incubator. The board is a stricter parent but with less attention to detail and patience than the IPMC has shown. Board members are not likely to examine every proposed release tarball to check that everything is licensed correctly. On the other hand, if a project doesn't report or fails to act on advice from the board for long, then the board will replace the chair or propose to closing the project. Would it work to the board as a single parent? Yes, I think it would. It would be a "tough love" approach. However if there were also people advising and monitoring young projects then things might go more smoothly. So if folks are willing to organize and manage this kinder, gentler parent/teacher then I'd be happy to have a VP Incubation.

I'm actually thinking the thru-process test might be more useful. Take the next two incubating projects 'accepted', put Chris and I each on one of them with another few mentors each as usual, give them the board resolutions to create them as "Project, Incubating" "accountable to the policies proscribed by the VP, Incubator", and see how the process flows. Chris and I have each incubated a few projects all the way through, so it should be easy for us to note obstacles and roadblocks that need to be corrected through docs and policy revisions. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Sure, I get that now. I'm +1 to be that person, so long as I make it clear that I'm not intending to be the person for long, and my goal is: 1. Implement: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/IncubatorDeconstructionProposal 2. Report to the board on its status every month. 3. Start graduating podlings into TLP (spin them out) 4. Any new projects that come along and propose over the next 6 months should be subject to my proposal in 1. 5. By June 2012 or by July 2012, there is no more Incubator, no IPMC, and no Incubator VP role.

What in my proposal *doesn't* demonstrate that it's time to get rid of the VP? I believe I've elaborated quite laboriously over the past week why I think the VP, Incubator position has served its purpose, just like other VP positions that we've retired over time. Can you address specific points in my proposal and tell me what I'm missing to demonstrate that we don't need the Incubator VP and the IPMC anymore? I'd argue that the following demonstrates that we don't need it, which for the record, are points in my original email thread and now proposal here: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/IncubatorDeconstructionProposal 1. Podlings will be projects. They will have a VP. That's the interface between the board and the project, just like any other project. 2. Why add another officer position (or in this case, keep one), when we don't have met officer positions that "manage" the reporting of standard TLPs (or sets of them) to the board? We've have several conversations over the years, e.g., in search, or in database communities here at Apache, that run something like this: "Oh, we have these sets of projects that are related, let's create a meta committee that will [wrangle] them together, and then report out on their status, share MLs, etc. etc." Each and every time the above is presented, the argument against (besides maintaining the status quo, which I honestly think is being pushed here) is that there is no need for such a meta committee (and by transitivity) a meta VP role. That's what the Incubator VP is. A meta VP. We don't need the role. > As I > mentioned before, I believe there are aspects to incubation that > require a supportive group which cannot simply be shifted to the > podling-TLP I don't agree with this.

This makes sense to me. Podlings are an obvious granularity to try out this. Over a period of years we dissolved Jakarta. We started by graduating Ant and Tomcat to be TLPs. This was once a new concept. Over time, less and less remained under the umbrella. Selecting individual podlings that seem best equipped to try out the new experiment would be a reasonable way to proceed. - Sam Ruby - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

As Bill pointed out previously, the amount of lines in the monthly board agendas won't materially change. What I care most about is addressed by this proposal: that there be an identified person to which feedback can be directed for each report. Podlings typically have multiple ASF members assigned to them (three is not an atypical number). I believe that the responsibility for verifying release processes, check on podling branding and press is already assigned to these members. If a podling (with the support of the mentors) votes to assign a non ASF-member as the chair, I am OK with that too as long as there are still plenty enough people monitoring the development of the podling. I'll name three concerns / items to be addressed: First, having the board vote on the creation of each podling is a bit too heavy weight. I for one would prefer that that continue to be delegated. Second, the board is not the appropriate vehicle for fine tuning / micro-managing individual projects, much less podlings. A podling that consistently fails to report or fails to address issues identified by the board should expect one or more of: a new chair, people added or removed from the committee, of for the committee to be dissolved entirely. Having a supportive resource (whether that resource goes by the name of 'incubator' or 'comdev', I care not) remains important. Third, we started to move towards a point where having commit access to a podling means commit access to all the incubator. The proposal will need to cover how that is either going to change or how that would be expected to work. > Cheers, > -g - Sam Ruby - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
Re: Nomination of Chris Mattman for the IPMC Chair (was: Re: NOMINATIONS for Incubator PMC Chair)
It seems to me that the proposed new scheme will take quite a bit of setting up. There is some writing to do. More to the point, if I were the board, I would want to pilot the new scheme for some time before tearing down the existing incubator. All of this looks to me like more than 2 months. A trial balloon: the board appoints Chris to run a PMC to set this up and try it out -- with the intention of being a short-lived phenomenon. Meanwhile, Noel or I or some other nominee continue to make the best of the incubator as we have it, including the gradual modifications pushed by Sam and Joe. If the board eventually decides that the ipmc is entirely obviated by the membership and comdev, we'll hire a bagpiper for the closing ceremony. If it turns out that a small IPMC providing support and assistance to 'probationary projects' is desired, we'll go on a diet. I just don't think it is realistic to imagine that in 60 days from some near-term board meeting, we can set up this new plan, debug it, and transition the existing clutch. While this can't avoid ending up as electioneering, I don't think it a good idea to simply appoint an IPMC chairman who is focussed like a laser beam on this restructuring to the exclusion of making the best of what we're currently doing. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

I am working on a proposal not for this committee, but for the board itself, to dissolve the Incubator, period, and the Incubator VP role.

Thank you for your great service to the Incubator community and to the ASF. And thanks to the Incubator PMC over the years, and to all the folks who made the Incubator what it is today.

I'm happy to support you in that effort, even as an assistant chair (and I'd decline Noel's nomination, thanks though for the thought). I think once it's proposed the board will make clear why the position still needs to be filled, even if they accept such a radical rethinking of the process.

Based on the current discussions for radically redefining the Incubator, I propose William A Rowe, Jr. for the new Incubator PMC Chair. Between Bill and Chris Mattman, they are the leading forces behind the proposed re-org, and I feel that, Bill would be the more experienced choice, and hope that he he would take the role at least long enough to see the new re-org structure put into place and up-and-running.
