Dear Justin Thank you for your detailed feedback. We will create a brand version of the website to address all your comments.
Here is a quick response to your feedback. *- You list sponsors, how do these companies sponsor the project?*These companies funded basic research and development at ExpoLab at UC Davis; no commercial interests. So we will keep it separate. *- You list 1.9.0 for download, but there is no link to the KEYS files* We will fix it. *- You list Mohammad Sadoghi as the “Principle Investigator.” This is problematic from an ASF point of view. An ASF community doesn't have a leader.* I serve as the principal investigator in my research group at UC Davis. We will remove this from the website that we are creating. We will use the following template. https://spark.apache.org/ https://flink.apache.org/ https://hadoop.apache.org/ https://sedona.apache.org/ *- There are people listed on the page that are not part of the PMC* Members will be removed from the new website for Apache. *- You list members of a “founding team”, again this is problematic. You can’t claim this as it is now an ASF project and run by the community.* Same as above. We will mark them as initial committers. *- you use resilientdb.com <http://resilientdb.com/> email address for contact and support.* We will use d...@resilientdb.apache.org instead. *- The relationship between cloud offering and rsview and the ASF project is unclear. Are these also open source, or do they intend to be commercial offerings?* We have a testnet live for public use since last October. It is based mostly on cost-effective small cloud installations for development and community purposes. Our project has been active since 2018 (and open-sourced since 2019). Our focus has been research and development, and we do not have any commercialization plan. *- Again the connection with ResillientApp is unlear.* This is our application stack built on top of ResilientDB. Essentially it is toolsets. The main tools have already been transferred into the Apache incubator repo as well. *- The website is misisng the required ASF links to the foundation, events, license, thanks, security, and privacy. [1]* We will add the missing elseents. --- Best Regards, Mohammad Sadoghi, PhD Associate Professor Exploratory Systems Lab (ExpoLab) Department of Computer Science University of California, Davis ExpoLab: https://expolab.org/ ResilientDB: https://resilientdb.com/ Phone: 914-319-7937 On Mon, May 13, 2024 at 5:20 AM Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > A few questions occurred to me when looking at the website: > - You list sponsors, how do these companies sponsor the project? > - You list 1.9.0 for download, but there is no link to the KEYS files > - You list Mohammad Sadoghi as the “Principle Investigator” This is > problematic from an ASF point of view.
