Hi Marvin,

Can you also once recap the timelines you are expecting the podlings reports, 
shepherd reviews, and draft summary, and submission to board?

I believe our schedule is pretty much mandated at this point by the date of
the Board meeting and the due dates that Marvin set in the reminders that went
out a couple days ago.

Wed July 10 -- Podling reports due by end of day
Wed July 10 -- Summary due by end of day
Fri July 12 -- Shepherd reviews due by 21:00 PDT
Fri July 12 -- Report submitted no sooner than 21:00 PDT
Wed July 17 -- Board meeting

The Board generally requests that reports be provided a week in advance of the
meeting, but makes an exception for the Incubator because of the coordination
issues.  It's important that we file it before the weekend, though, so that
Board members have ample opportunity to review and log pre-approvals.

Honestly, I don't see why we don't ask for podling reports a week sooner than
we do, aside from the hassle of recoding Marvin.

In the future I expect to work on automating and delegating, but this month it
will be all manual and I'll be satisfied so long as everything goes smoothly
and we produce a high-quality report.

When automation occurs can we please make the shepherd assignments random. As a 
shepherd I find It much more interesting to look at new projects each month.

[ANNOUNCE] Apache Curator 2.1.0-incubating released

2013-07-02 Thread Jordan Zimmerman 
Hello,

The Apache Curator team is pleased to announce the release of version 
2.1.0-incubating from the Apache Incubator. The Apache Curator Java libraries 
make using Apache ZooKeeper much easier and more reliable.

Link to release notes:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12314425&version=12324401

The most recent source release can be obtained from an Apache Mirror: 
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/curator/

The binary artifacts for Curator are available from Maven Central and its 
mirrors.

For general information on Apache Curator, please visit the project website: 
http://curator.incubator.apache.org

Disclaimer:
Apache Curator is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator PMC.

Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.

While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness
or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be
fully endorsed by the ASF.

Regards,

The Curator Team

[OT] The promise of Olingo

2013-07-02 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton 
Today, the Bing wall-paper features a beautiful image of a ring-tailed cat 
(clearly adaptable to an O'Reilly cover, if it hasn't been already).

Having read up on Olingo, I immediately thought "raccoon" and indeed, this is a 
Procyonidon cousin of the Olingo, 
.

I'm sharing this because the Bing image is great and also because of an 
observation made about the domestic cat and the ring-tailed cat (not a feline) 
-- both have succeeded in domesticating humans by virtue of their habits 
(theirs, ours, whatever).

Let us trust that at last, the OAuth Olingo can do the same in the realm of 
safe habits in cyberspace.

 - Dennis

PS: If you go to http://bing.com, you'll see that the image is a video of the 
fellow.  You might need to click through earlier images to see it in its Utah 
red-rock environment.

I'm not sure how "Olingo" is pronounced in Spanish but I'm certain there will 
be much fun creating artwork of the little critter.  It looks like an animal 
that must be on the cover of an O'Reilly book somewhere.  (I find raccoons, 
their cousins, more appealing, except when they are pillaging the cherry tree 
at my house.)

Finally, yes.  I've written up the subject on the Incubator wiki and linked to
it from the proposal guide.

  https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/MailingListOptions
  http://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal.html#template-mailing-lists

I'm having second thoughts about where it should live permanently, though.
The Incubator's documentation could withstand some reorganization and I'm
contemplating some proposals which I'll put forth in a little while.
