Hi,
I have a couple of questions concerning
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ExitingIncubator
Some of them have already been asked (with no reply), some haven't.
* No non ASL or ASL compatbile dependencies in the code base
In the case of JaxMe, there are several unit tests, which depend on hsqldb. hsqldb is not in the CVS repository, but the developer is expected to download it from the hsqldb site (hsqldb.sf.net) and put it into a certain subdirectory. Likewise, Gump is configured to load hsqldb from another location. hsqldb is required to build the sources. The binary distribution contains no references to hsqldb.
Does that match the above terms or does it not?
Sounds to me like it does.
* Check of project name for trademark issues
How do I do that? In particular, how do I record that I have checked and found no issues?
No idea.
* Demonstrate an active and diverse development community
I know what I consider an "active and diverse" development community. But I am not the one to decide. Who can give me a clue whether the community is supposed to be sufficiently "active and diverse"?
Can you provide some indicators of the community engagement, independence, and empathy?
* engagement - meaning is there at least three committers active in the process?
* independence - are developers aligned to a particular corporate entity or are they independent?
* empathy - the extent to which the community has adapted to the apache way (process, policy, etc.)?
* Demonstrate ability to tolerate and resolve conflict within the community.
I understand and approve the desire. However, to fulfill the words,
I would possibly have to force a conflict.
:-)
Setup a secret PPMC mailing list, plot a staged dispute, resolve it professionally and with respect for everyone involved, then tick the issue off the list. It's a stupid requirement. Ignore it.
* Developers tied into ASF PGP web of trust
I do not know what is required to conform to this part.
Me neither.
Ignore it - but maybe get someone in the community to hock up with the incubator group to track what is happening in that area.
For the record, I would like to note, that IMO the other requirements
are fulfilled by JaxMe.
Then rerquest an exit.
Remeber that things happen in open source because you make them happen.
Don't wait for the PMC to make a decision. Push for exit - make it happen - get on with the prime objective.
Cheers, Stephen.
Jochen
