2012-04-10 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Hello all,

just a short heads up: before a few days i have raised the question to
retire Zeta Components because of lack of activity for quite a while.
So far no committer has responded. I will follow up here again in a
couple of days.

Cheers

[1] http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CloudStackProposal




Abstract

CloudStack is an IaaS ("Infrastracture as a Service") cloud orchestration 
platform.

Proposal

CloudStack provides control plane software that can be used to create an IaaS 
cloud. It includes an HTTP-based API for user and administrator functions and a 
web UI for user and administrator access. Administrators can provision physical 
infrastructure (e.g., servers, network elements, storage) into an instance of 
CloudStack, while end users can use the CloudStack self-service API and UI for 
the provisioning and management of virtual machines, virtual disks, and virtual 
networks.

Citrix Systems, Inc. submits this proposal to donate the CloudStack source code, 
documentation, websites, and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation 
("ASF").

Background

Amazon and other cloud pioneers invented IaaS clouds. Typically these clouds provide virtual 
machines to end users. CloudStack additionally provides baremetal OS installation to end users via 
a self-service interface. The management of physical resources to provide the larger goal of cloud 
service delivery is known as "orchestration". IaaS clouds are usually described as 
"elastic" -- an elastic service is one that allows its user to rapidly scale up or down 
their need for resources.

A number of open source projects and companies have been created to implement IaaS 
clouds. Cloud.com started CloudStack in 2008 and released the source under GNU General 
Public License version 3 ("GPL v3") in 2010. Citrix acquired Cloud.com, 
including CloudStack, in 2011. Citrix re-licensed the CloudStack source under Apache 
License v2 in April, 2012.

Rationale

IaaS clouds provide the ability to implement datacenter operations in a 
programmable fashion. This functionality is tremendously powerful and benefits 
the community by providing:

- More efficient use of datacenter personnel
- More efficient use of datacenter hardware
- Better responsiveness to user requests
- Better uptime/availability through automation

While there are several open source IaaS efforts today, none are governed by an 
independent foundation such as ASF. Vendor influence and/or proprietary 
implementations may limit the community's ability to choose the hardware and 
software for use in the datacenter. The community at large will benefit from 
the ability to enhance the orchestration layer as needed for particular 
hardware or software support, and to implement algorithms and features that may 
reduce cost or increase user satisfaction for specific use cases. In this 
respect the independent nature of the ASF is key to the long term health and 
success of the project.

Initial Goals

The CloudStack project has two initial goals after the proposal is accepted and 
the incubation has begun.

The Cloudstack Project's first goal is to ensure that the CloudStack source 
includes only third party code that is licensed under the Apache License or 
open source licenses that are approved by the ASF for use in ASF projects. The 
CloudStack Project has begun the process of removing third party code that is 
not licensed under an ASF approved license. This is an ongoing process that 
will continue into the incubation period. Third party code contributed to 
CloudStack under the CloudStack contribution agreement was assigned to 
Cloud.com in exchange for distributing CloudStack under GPLv3. The CloudStack 
project has begun the process of amending the previous CloudStack contribution 
agreements to obtain consent from existing contributors to change the 
CloudStack project's license. In the event that an existing contributor does 
not consent to this change, the project is prepared to remove that 
contributor's code. Additionally, there are binary dependencies on 
redistributed libraries that
 
are not provided with an ASF-approved license. Finally, the CloudStack has source files incorporated from third parties that were not provided with an ASF-approved license. We have begun the process of re-writing this software. This is an ongoing process that will extend into the incubation period. These issues are discussed in more detail later in the proposal.


Although CloudStack is open source, many design documents and discussions that 
should have been publicly available and accessible were not publicized. The 
Project's second goal will be to fix this lack of transparency by encouraging 
the initial committers to publicize technical documentation

AIUI, there must be a source-only release.
This should have N&L files that relate to the source only.

A binary release may also be provided, in which case its N&L files
need to correspond with what is in the binary release.

For building from source, the dependencies need to be provided somehow.
Various options are possible:
- written instructions how to get the dependencies and where to put them
- separate script to download the dependencies
- build process automatically downloads the dependencies.

Depending on the licenses of 3rd party jars you may need to provide a
combination of methods.
There are some types of dependencies that can only be included if the
user makes a deliberate choice of downloading them, see the cited doc.

If all the dependencies are binary-distributable, it's probably also
OK to provide an archive containing just the dependencies.
This must have the relevant N&L files.

No, RCs should be immutable. Otherwise how can one tell what one is voting on?

 below.   Please vote with: +1: accept CloudStack into Incubator
 +0: don't care
 -1: do not accept CloudStack into Incubator (please explain the objection)

 The vote is open for at least 72 hours from now (until at least 19:00
 US-PST on April 12, 2012).

 Thanks for the consideration.

 Abstract

 CloudStack is an IaaS ("Infrastracture as a Service") cloud orchestration
 platform.

 Proposal

 CloudStack provides control plane software that can be used to create an
 IaaS cloud. It includes an HTTP-based API for user and administrator
 functions and a web UI for user and administrator access. Administrators
 can provision physical infrastructure (e.g., servers, network elements,
 storage) into an instance of CloudStack, while end users can use the
 CloudStack self-service API and UI for the provisioning and management of
 virtual machines, virtual disks, and virtual networks.

 Citrix Systems, Inc. submits this proposal to donate the CloudStack source
 code, documentation, websites, and trademarks to the Apache Software
 Foundation ("ASF").

 Background

 Amazon and other cloud pioneers invented IaaS clouds. Typically these
 clouds provide virtual machines to end users. CloudStack additionally
 provides baremetal OS installation to end users via a self-service
 interface. The management of physical resources to provide the larger
 goal of cloud service delivery is known as "orchestration". IaaS clouds
 are usually described as "elastic" -- an elastic service is one that
 allows its user to rapidly scale up or down their need for resources.

 A number of open source projects and companies have been created to
 implement IaaS clouds. Cloud.com started CloudStack in 2008 and released
 the source under GNU General Public License version 3 ("GPL v3") in 2010.
 Citrix acquired Cloud.com, including CloudStack, in 2011. Citrix
 re-licensed the CloudStack source under Apache License v2 in April, 2012.

 Rationale

 IaaS clouds provide the ability to implement datacenter operations in a
 programmable fashion. This functionality is tremendously powerful and
 benefits the community by providing:

 - More efficient use of datacenter personnel
 - More efficient use of datacenter hardware
 - Better responsiveness to user requests
 - Better uptime/availability through automation

 While there are several open source IaaS efforts today, none are governed
 by an independent foundation such as ASF. Vendor influence and/or
 proprietary implementations may limit the community's ability to choose
 the hardware and software for use in the datacenter. The community at
 large will benefit from the ability to enhance the orchestration layer as
 needed for particular hardware or software support, and to implement
 algorithms and features that may reduce cost or increase user
 satisfaction for specific use cases. In this respect the independent
 nature of the ASF is key to the long term health and success of the
 project.

 Initial Goals

 The CloudStack project has two initial goals after the proposal is
 accepted and the incubation has begun.

 The Cloudstack Project's first goal is to ensure that the CloudStack
 source includes only third party code that is licensed under the Apache
 License or open source licenses that are approved by the ASF for use in
 ASF projects. The CloudStack Project has begun the process of removing
 third party code that is not licensed under an ASF approved license. This
 is an ongoing process that will continue into the incubation period.
 Third party code contributed to CloudStack under the CloudStack
 contribution agreement was assigned to Cloud.com in exchange for
 distributing CloudStack under GPLv3. The CloudStack project has begun the
 process of amending the previous CloudStack contribution agreements to
 obtain consent from existing contributors to change the CloudStack
 project's license. In the event that an existing contributor does not
 consent to this change, the project is prepared to remove that
 contributor's code. Additionally, there are binary dependencies on
 redistributed libraries that are not provided with an ASF-approved

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Mesos 0.9.0-incubating (RC4)

2012-04-10 Thread Matei Zaharia
Hi Sebb,

The third party libraries we included were actually all source code, just 
compressed in tar.gz files to save space. There were no JARs or binaries. Is 
distributing their source code okay, or is it still better to get people to 
download them elsewhere?

Abstract

CloudStack is an IaaS ("Infrastracture as a Service") cloud orchestration 
platform.

Proposal

CloudStack provides control plane software that can be used to create an IaaS 
cloud. It includes an HTTP-based API for user and administrator functions and a 
web UI for user and administrator access. Administrators can provision physical 
infrastructure (e.g., servers, network elements, storage) into an instance of 
CloudStack, while end users can use the CloudStack self-service API and UI for 
the provisioning and management of virtual machines, virtual disks, and virtual 
networks.

Citrix Systems, Inc. submits this proposal to donate the CloudStack source code, 
documentation, websites, and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation 
("ASF").

Background

Amazon and other cloud pioneers invented IaaS clouds. Typically these clouds provide virtual 
machines to end users. CloudStack additionally provides baremetal OS installation to end users via 
a self-service interface. The management of physical resources to provide the larger goal of cloud 
service delivery is known as "orchestration". IaaS clouds are usually described as 
"elastic" -- an elastic service is one that allows its user to rapidly scale up or down 
their need for resources.

A number of open source projects and companies have been created to implement IaaS 
clouds. Cloud.com started CloudStack in 2008 and released the source under GNU General 
Public License version 3 ("GPL v3") in 2010. Citrix acquired Cloud.com, 
including CloudStack, in 2011. Citrix re-licensed the CloudStack source under Apache 
License v2 in April, 2012.

Rationale

IaaS clouds provide the ability to implement datacenter operations in a 
programmable fashion. This functionality is tremendously powerful and benefits 
the community by providing:

- More efficient use of datacenter personnel
- More efficient use of datacenter hardware
- Better responsiveness to user requests
- Better uptime/availability through automation

While there are several open source IaaS efforts today, none are governed by an 
independent foundation such as ASF. Vendor influence and/or proprietary 
implementations may limit the community's ability to choose the hardware and 
software for use in the datacenter. The community at large will benefit from 
the ability to enhance the orchestration layer as needed for particular 
hardware or software support, and to implement algorithms and features that may 
reduce cost or increase user satisfaction for specific use cases. In this 
respect the independent nature of the ASF is key to the long term health and 
success of the project.

Initial Goals

The CloudStack project has two initial goals after the proposal is accepted and 
the incubation has begun.

The Cloudstack Project's first goal is to ensure that the CloudStack source 
includes only third party code that is licensed under the Apache License or 
open source licenses that are approved by the ASF for use in ASF projects. The 
CloudStack Project has begun the process of removing third party code that is 
not licensed under an ASF approved license. This is an ongoing process that 
will continue into the incubation period. Third party code contributed to 
CloudStack under the CloudStack contribution agreement was assigned to 
Cloud.com in exchange for distributing CloudStack under GPLv3. The CloudStack 
project has begun the process of amending the previous CloudStack contribution 
agreements to obtain consent from existing contributors to change the 
CloudStack project's license. In the event that an existing contributor does 
not consent to this change, the project is prepared to remove that 
contributor's code. Additionally, there are binary dependencies on 
redistributed libraries that
 
are not provided with an ASF-approved license. Finally, the CloudStack has source files incorporated from third parties that were not provided with an ASF-approved license. We have begun the process of re-writing this software. This is an ongoing process that will extend into the incubation period. These issues are discussed in more detail later in the proposal.


Although CloudStack is open source, many design documents and discussions that 
should have been publicly available and accessible were not publicized. The 
Project's second goal will be to fix this lack of transparency by encouraging 
the initial committers to publicize technical documentati

This should be sufficient as the project description in the context of
a board report. The list of supported formats, while interesting, is
less relevant in this context.

Please also include a note of when Any23 entered incubation. I took
the liberty of adding that information to your report.

Sounds like good progress!

In future reports it would be good if you included the list of most
important issues to solve before graduation. Your January report
listed the following:

Based on your current report it sounds like 1 is already solved and 3
will be done shortly. What's your status on 2?

I think my opinion on #2 is that we are still working to do that. The great
news is that Andy Seaborne from Jena is onboard as a committer
and PPMC member, helping to bridge the semantic web efforts, and
we are starting to have some cross pollination (e.g., with the recent
GeoSPARQL thread and with efforts from Paolo). So, lots of activity,
mainly driven by the original guys, but slowly growing and showing
really good progress iMHO. And, to add, Lewis wasn't one of the original
team that started Any23, pre-Apache, so the fact that Lewis has stepped
up and is really helping to charge forward is a great sign of diversity too.

My 2c.

Cheers,
Chris

or increase user satisfaction for specific use cases. In this respect
the independent nature of the ASF is key to the long term health and

Initial Goals

The CloudStack project has two initial goals after the proposal is
accepted and the incubation has begun.

The Cloudstack Project's first goal is to ensure that the CloudStack
source includes only third party code that is licensed under the
Apache License or open source licenses that are approved by the ASF
for use in ASF projects. The CloudStack Project has begun the process
of removing third party code that is not licensed under an ASF
approved license. This is an ongoing process that will continue into
the incubation period. Third party code contributed to CloudStack
under the CloudStack contribution agreement was assigned to Cloud.com
in exchange for distributing CloudStack under GPLv3. The CloudStack
project has begun the process of amending the previous CloudStack
contribution agreements to obtain consent from existing contributors
to change the CloudStack project's license. In the event that an
existing contributor does not consent to this change, the project is
prepared to remove that contributor's code. Additionally, there are
binary dependencies on redistributed libraries that are not provided
with an ASF-approved license. Finally, the CloudStack has source files
incorporated from third parties that were not provided with an
ASF-approved license. We have begun the process of re-writing this
software. This is an ongoing process that will extend into the
incubation period. These issues are discussed in more detail later in
the proposal.

Although CloudStack is open source, many design documents and
discussions that should have been publicly available and accessible
were not publicized. The Project's second goal will be to fix this
