Re: [pulse] A lab or an incubator? Was: Lab request: Pulse

You also seem to need an issue tracker of your own, and binary releases - that's not labs. I would suggest going for the incubator, assuming you can form a small community of interested people and mentors. If not, starting outside Apache but with the Apache way of working, and coming back to incubate a bit later, might be an option. -Bertrand - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

I also think that the proposal is a bit "thin", compared to many others. And running the vote over Christmas is perhaps a bit much as well.

I will even give reasons because it is Christmas; a. See Martijn's concern. b. Running vote over Christmas when *many* people are busy with other things. c. I would like to see a proposal with more "meat" in it. Some history, more elaboration on the various topics that the template provides...

Well, that is probably not true; http://www.google.com/search?q=octopus+software reveals 1.9 million hits. Of course that doesn't say that they are in anyway related to what you are doing, nor that it is even software products/projects. But, claiming "haven't found any software project with this name" is more telling about your search ability than a fact of life. What have happened to previous tradition of coming up with good obscure names?? SpretFlinter (zero hits) Crentacto (one hit) Bristasse (116 hits) How hard can it be?

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache Maestro
Hi Niclas, I have made the Octopus research around software project related with deployment. Of course, there is a lot of software projects named Octopus. Nevertheless, I'm not against "obscure" name, and I like your name proposal SpretFlinter.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache Maestro
Hi Andrus, Of course, as I have named BuildProcess AutoDeploy (on sourceforge :)), we can name Apache AutoDeploy. When I have submitted my proposal to Incubator mailing list, I have thinking about changing the AutoDeploy name as I think that it's a very generic name and already used by some application servers (ever if the scope is not at all the same). So Apache AutoDeploy is already in the race :) Thanks Andrus, Regards JB -- Jean-Baptiste Onofré j...@nanthrax.net BuildProcess/AutoDeploy Project Leader http://buildprocess.sourceforge.net On Wed 24/12/08 13:27, Andrus Adamchik and...@objectstyle.org wrote: > > On Dec 24, 2008, at 1:02 PM, Niclas Hedhman wrote: > > > > What have happened to previous tradition of coming > up with good > obscure names?? > > > > SpretFlinter (zero hits) > > Crentacto (one hit) > > Bristasse (116 hits) > > Not to make JB's job any harder, but IMO these examples are just > silly.

Re: PIWI / PHP Projects in Apache
Christian Grobmeier wrote: Hi all, we have developed a web framework in PHP, called PIWI: - http://piwi.googlecode.com/ - http://piwiframework.de/ Codebase supports very much features right now and only lacks user documentation and has some open discussions left. Find a feature list below. It heavily borrows ideas and concepts from Apache Cocoon and Apache Forrest although it is implemented in PHP. Cause of this I think that Apache would be a good host for this project. I allready surfed a while through the incubator and found one PHP project (log4php) which doesn't look very active. Does it make sense to propose a new PHP project for apache? I really think that apache would benefit of PHP projects. In my dreams there is a php.apache.org TLP someday, hopefully hosting it's subprojects PIWI and maybe log4PHP. I'm not sure of a TLP called php.apache.org, but having lots of projects written in PHP is a good thing :-) However, please give me your feedback. If somebody is interested in mentoring us with this project, let me know. If you think it makes no sense to bring another PHP project to apache, let me know too. Your feedback is highly appreciated. I think this would be cool. -Paul - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
