We would like to start a TLP named 'portal.apache.org' including 
Jetspeed-1, Jetspeed-2 and Pluto, and other portal apps as they are 
developed.

1/ Community dynamic,
a) Is your community self sustaining and largely independant of other 
parts
of Jakarta?
yes

Not the individuals, the community. Is it, for instance, so heavily
influenced by the direction of some other sub-project that membership 
of
both is virtually a pre-requisite for understanding.
b) Are many of your commiters also commiters of some other sub-project 
for
this, or similar, reasons?

no

2/ Project Management,
a) Does your sub-project need or get much direction from the Jakarta 
PMC
(or is it mostly handled by the comitters with lip service paid to the
PMC)?

no, lip service

3/ Community health,
a) Is your community highly dependant on one or two key people, or is
there a real mix of talent working as a team?
we are a small group. Jetspeed-2 is currently dependent on 3 people but 
we are getting more people active
We have a lot more active Jetspeed-1 people, but development has 
tapered off

b) Is there generally an amicable, if hotly debated, concensus?

yes i think so

4/ Infrastructure resources,
a) Does your sub-project have aspirations to own its own top-level
resources (cvs, mailing lists, wiki, web-site)?
yes

5/ Product seperation,
a) Is your product tightly bound to other Jakarta sub-projects 
(excluding
commons) or does it only supply a need or consume deliverables in the 
usual
way?
Jetspeed-1 is tied to Turbine
Pluto isn't tied to anything
Jetspeed-2 is dependent on OJB and we are seriously considering Merlin 
now

b) Does your sub-project contribute a lot of code to another, or 
receive a
lot of contributions from another Jakarta sub-project?

J2 and Pluto are closely tied, but Pluto is not dependent on J2

6/ Scope,
a) Has your sub-project outgrown it's original scope?
I think so.
New standards have appeared (Java Portlet Standard, WSRP)
and the portlet dev model has changed to a standardized portlet 
application model
with a clear delineation between portal, container and application

b) Does your sub-project have a need or desire to maintain it's own
sub-projects, incubate new ideas, or accept incubated projects from the
incubator?
yes we do, see project list above

7/
a) Are there any compeling arguments which can be raised to support
remaining within Jakarta?
Our list isn't very active compared to others, at least this is my 
perception, I could be wrong

Score 1 for each of the following answers:
1a yes
1b no
2a not much
3a real mix
3b generally amicable
4a yes
5a normal supply/consume relationship
5b not much direct contribution to or by other sub-projects
6a yes
6b yes
7a not really
Total 1-3 You probably belong here, consider staying.
Total 4-6 You might need to address some issues before you go.
Total 7-9 Promotion could be your path to further growth and maturity.
Total 10-11 You treat this place like a hotel, its time to think about 
what
you really want.

Re: [POLL] Future Of Turbine-JCS

2003-12-10 Thread Henning Schmiedehausen
I'd do it, but I'm not personally involved in JCS. IMHO Martin Poeschl
(who is a Turbineer _and_ works with JCS) would be perfect but I know
that he will be on holidays for a longer time (either already is or will
be soon. Martin?).

Martin did the Turbine 2.2 release and most of the Torque releases in
the past and I did the 2.3 release of Turbine, so this might count as
release management experience. ;-)

Henning

  IMHO too complex. If there is already a JCS list (is there? As you can
  see, I'm a Turbine committer but I have zero overlap with JCS. In fact
  I
  didn't even know that this is a turbine sub-sub project for quite
  some

  fold
  it into the commons list where a completely different culture exists
  compared to a normal project list. I'm pretty sure that this will
  scare JCS users away.
 
  I'm thinking that making it a direct Jakarta sub project starts to
  make more and more sense. I'd propose that we move JCS in this
  direction, if the JCS developers push for a 1.0 release inside
  turbine-jcs and we make the transition into a Jakarta project with
  this
  1.0 release (which would IMHO a fine reason to do so).

Good, well I suggest that your answers (ruthlessly snipped) tell you that
its worth pursuing.

I'd suggest a good first step would be to start a discussion on the
relevant dev list(s) to see if there is broadly support or opposition to
the idea.

It might be a good idea to provide and overview of what the hell promotion
means and enumerate the benefits and drawbacks it brings.

I'd be happy to prime you from my own experience, or subscribe and join in,
as I'm sure will others who've been through (or oppose) this.

If you garner a general consensus the next step would be to draw up a
proposal for the commiters to vote upon, including the makeup of the
initial PMC, project scope and inaugural PMC chair, and possibly (kind of
bootstrappingly) the conditions which have to be met for the vote to be
sucessful.

If your vote suceeds you then make a formally worded proposal to the board,
James included a short covering letter outlining our reasoning. The board
then vote and either reject it with recommendations (such as to modify the
scope) or accept it and you're faced with the infrastructure tasks.

RE: Promotion of sub projects

2003-12-10 Thread Danny Angus




 Just a reminder, but there need not be a 1:1 mapping of PMC and web
domain,
 so there is no need to breakup the Jakarta web site unless people *want*
to
 do so.

Quite so, there's no obligation on a promoted sub-project to abandon its
place in the jakarta infrastructure.
In fact the idea of Jakarta being a less formal grouping of TLP's with a
shared mission and audience has been proposed before and IMO is not a bad
idea.

Client authentication

2003-12-10 Thread Josep Riudavets
Hi all ... My name is Joseph, from the Technical Univerisity of Catalonia (UPC). This 
is my first messege here ... 

I'm developing a web application under Apache 1.3.27, with client authentication under 
a certain path, /htdocs/client_aut ... that is, if a client requires a resource placed 
under /htdocs/client_aut, he will need to show his or her digital certificate. I have 
implemented this idea as follows  (httpd.conf):

Location /usr/local/apache/htdocs/client_aut
SSLVerifyClient require
SSLVerifiDepth 1
/Location

I have a created these certificates:

* a CA self-signet certificate, named certificatCA.crt (placed at /conf/ssl.crt) 
* a server certificate, signed by CA, named certificatSERV.crt (placed at 
/conf/ssl.crt)
* a client certificate, singned by CA, named clientSERV.crt, installed at the client 
web browser.

And I have configured SSL connection as follows:

SSLCertificateFile path/to/certificatSERV.crt
SSLCertificateKeyfile path/to/clausSERV.key
SSLCACertificateFile path/to/certificatCA.crt

But it does not work ... when I try to acces to the web server from my brownser, 
server autenthication is OK, but when I choose clientSERV.crt in order to 
authenticate me, it does not work.

Any tip?

Thanks all

Josep
