General pre-agreement from the PMC that we'll take this project in, and how it will fit in. Some questions I (personally) have are, - Is the PMC ok with accepting a kotlin repository into the main part of the project ? (I assume so, kotlin == java, just asking the question. this was asked before, maybe i missed any response) - Who are the initial three PMC members that are volunteering to be active ? (Jon, Jordan, and ?) - How will the activity in this repository maintain visibility to the rest of the project ? (see recent discussions wrt sidecar's activity silo-ing) - Is the repo intending to adopt general project practices ? (e.g. release formalities, "patch by ; reviewed by for " commit messages, etc etc etc. if not, what is planned…) - If this will eventually replace the in-tree cassandra-stress, does it warrant a CEP ? (i'm ok with skipping, though that step might have encouraged the questions above) 2. IP Donation. Start filling out the IP Donation¹ form². Part of this process is to get approval to donate and an ICLA from each individual past contributor. In addition any company involved in past works must consent through either an SGA or their CCLA. In this case, all work before SHA 2d4542c27d3f1c0e24899c01247b9a8ee3c9a238 was copyrighted³ to The Last Pickle which is now owned by DataStax. Given that copyright was over an entire body of work I would say that the SGA⁴ is appropriate. (I'm happy to handle this.) We only need approval and ICLA's from contributors after⁵ that SHA, as the previous copyright to The Last Pickle applied to all past contributions. 3. When the form, and all its steps are complete, raise a vote on dev@cassandra.a.o and general@incubator.a.o 4. When the vote passes, request ASF Infra (create INFRA jira ticket) to move the repository to github.com/apache/cassandra-stress (or whatever, but keep the cassandra- prefix IMO). -- ¹) https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html ²) https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/ip-clearance/cassandra-java-driver.xml ³) https://github.com/thelastpickle/tlp-stress/blob/master/LICENSE.txt#L1 ⁴) https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html ⁵) https://github.com/rustyrazorblade/easy-cass-stress/compare/2d4542c27d3f1c0e24899c01247b9a8ee3c9a238...main
