It is with great relief and hope that I propose that the Apache
Incubator PMC vote to incubate a new podling, to be known as
"River". You may be familiar with this project as it has been
discussed under other names, including Braintree and Jini. I've
actually lost track of the Quest for a Name, and actually feel
very responsible for this naming mess, for which I apologize.
Therefore, please vote on the proposal that follows :
[ ] +1 Accept River as a new podling as described below
[ ] -1 Do not accept the new podling (provide reason, please)
Could you address the overlap with other ASF projects and podlings
which are in similar technology space?
There are none doing Jini at this time.
Why a new and distinct
podling and not joining/helping them?
See above :)
I think that the proposal should at least address that...
People see "hey another SOA project, architecture for services"
it's a little different. Jini is an old and I would say "fundamental
technology" for service infrastructure in the java platform, very
different from today's "SOA".
I'll let someone else argue my point, as I have to go christmas
shopping. If no one does, I'll do it when I get back.
They are fundamentally different (and we always allow competing impls
anyway...)
and need to know how River is different and unique by
anticipating the question :)
Yeah. Well, I have a basic understanding of what Jini is, and I
never confuse the two. I certainly can understand how someone
unfamiliar with it would be confused.
Also, one thing that had been discussed is better clarification
in proposals regarding the Initial List of Committers
and the Initial List of PPMC Members... To avoid the
issues that popped up with CXF.
We'll argue it out once/if the podling starts, but I was going to
suggest that we run it in the fashion of Harmony - that we wait until
those that are listed engage and participate, and then give them
commit, and have the mentors build the PPMC in parallel based on
engagement and participation.
