My first concern in responding here is a process concern. As far as I
can tell, the Incubator PMC has not formally voted to forbid the use
of real-time communications in podlings. Absent such a vote, the use
of these technologies is permitted, and it's up to the mentors to
guide, monitor, and ring alarm bells, as needed.

Concluding that in the absence of a vote everything is allowed is not correct.

Bernd,

I never wrote that 'everything is allowed.'

You said: No vote forbidding A =>  A is not forbidden.
This reasoning is not correct.


It's not all black *or* grey. In this case, IMO, even if it's not 
explicitly forbiden, it's strongly discouraged, and it has been a 
constant position, AFAICT.

Did you see Greg's e-mail?

Decisions are not made except on the mailing lists.  If it starts to seem that 
people are being excluded from being an effective part of a decision process, 
curtail or modify the back-channel communications.


We all want strong communities that are inclusive and open. We all recognize 
that real-time communications pose risks to that.

FWIW, ApacheDS and Geronimo had (possibly still have) *very* active IRC 
channels (logged) where people talked in real-time, just as they might at a 
Hack-a-Thon.
Talking about ApacheDS, yes, we *do* use IRC actively. This is for us 
the main stream when we are working on some part of the server, plus a 
way to have a semi-F2F discussion about technical points. But this is 
like if you are working in an office in front of a collegue : most of 
the time, you don't chit-chat, you work. And when it comes to make a 
decision impacting the whole project, then the discussion is moved to 
the ML.


So why are we using IRC for ? Mainly for technical discussions. As an 
example, here is a short snippet :

...
elecharny: kayyagari: I'm wondering if we coudn't describe the tests 
using JSON
[6:38pm] kayyagari: hmm, am thinking of automatic pdu generation in 
tests for sequences that use components
[6:38pm] kayyagari: so only the lowest components need to be tested with 
hand crafted PDUs

[6:40pm] kayyagari: and cause lowest components definitely be small in size
[6:40pm] kayyagari: (atleast that is the case so far)
[6:45pm] elecharny: what is important is to test that PDU don't crash 
when there are some missing optional elements

[6:45pm] elecharny: the lower components have been quite well tested
[6:46pm] elecharny: the main problem with test generation is to write 
the PUD by hand,

[6:46pm] elecharny: and to compute the lengths
[6:46pm] elecharny: one thing we can do is to use the DERxxx classes we 
have in the project
[6:47pm] elecharny: you can create a PDU using them, with no issues like 
creating the lengths

[6:47pm] kayyagari: ahah
[6:47pm] kayyagari: am trying to computelength() and then encode them to 
a temporary buffer and later push it to the main buf

[6:47pm] elecharny: you can do that
[6:47pm] elecharny: otherwise, you can also do :
[6:48pm] elecharny: seq = new DERSequence();
[6:49pm] elecharny: seq.add( DerInteger.valueOf( 5 ) );
[6:49pm] elecharny: etc...
[6:49pm] kayyagari: aha, will try it, this is helpful
[6:49pm] elecharny: and at the end do a seq.encode( outputStream );
[6:49pm] elecharny: you'll get the PDU
[6:49pm] kayyagari: cool
[6:50pm] kayyagari: this is the class present in shared-ldap?
[6:50pm] elecharny: but you won't be able to test cornercase like 
Integer with no values

[6:50pm] elecharny: yes
[6:50pm] kayyagari: ok
[6:50pm] elecharny: in asn1.der
[6:50pm] kayyagari: yeah
[6:51pm] elecharny: ok, I have to run, some friends have flown from 
Boston to paris


Nothing fancy, just raw technical convos. But very useful when you have 
a huge code base and you want to share some informations IRT.


We tried to organize Skype sessions 4 years ago, but we never succeeded 
to get them lasting more than 2 or 3 weeks. The reasons are simple :
- with people in South Korea, France and Florida, the TZ pb is almost 
impossible to solve
- as the schedule was very tight, being 15 minutes late just blows the 
session
- surprisingly, no more than 15% of the world population is speaking a 
fluent english. That does not help when on skype
- You always have to find someone to report what has been said, and 
trust me, a lot of input is lost in the process


We decided that it was a waste of time. I still think it's a waste of 
time, and also a perfect way to split the community in 2 groups :

- those who participate
- those who are left behind and get frustrated.

IRC solve some of those issues : it's easier to understand what a poor 
english speaker like me is typing, it's easier to get a report and move 
it back to the ML, and also it's easier to get the discussion on track, 
without the one who speak louder talking most of the time.

Hi Mark...

As they stated in "Relationships with Other Apache Products" that
they would consider such reuse of some of Apache Mina components. But
IMHO, this is not the a blocking issue to go forward with the proposal
as such technical detail can be changed while being in Incubator phase
if it is found that components of other Apache projects can be used to
make things better for Deft or to eliminate the dependency on non-AL
software.
IMHO, MINA is not really the important part here. It seems to me that 
the Asyncweb subproject is somehow close to what Deft is proposing. As 
Asynweb is almost dormant since 2008, I would think that a merge of Deft 
with Asyncweb is a good approach.


Now, as Mohammad said, it's up to the team to decide which part can be 
reused, or not. It's almost as difficult to write from scratch some 
piece of code than to reuse some other with lost support...


Regarding MINA, You'll most certainly get all the needed support.

Things that justifies Deft's existence (In my very humble opinion):
  * The simplicity
  * The learning curve (e.g compared to Apache Mina)
IMO, Deft != MINA. That Deft uses MINA, or not, should not make any

Hi Mark,

This is absolutely not a dumb question. Deft is not based on Apache MINA.
Instead it's using raw Java NIO (without any level of
indirection/abstractions). The reason for this is basically to cut down the
overhead and to keep it as simple as possible, but still offer a flexible
api.
I do think that the overhead would be rather minimal. Anyway, I don't 
think it's where the Deft value added is :)

There is no such corresponding feature in Deft, at least not at the moment :)


In any case, I don't think that Deft *has* to use MINA, or not. It's 
probably something that could be discussed once the podling is accepted, 
and by the core developpers.


Now, what is more important is to check how close are AsyncWeb and Deft, 
to see if those two project should be merged, or not, and if Deft has 
enough potential to be a TLP, or not.


I'm not even sure it should be put under MINA's umbrella. I'd say it 
would be convenient, but has side effects. This should be discussed.

The only thing that I can say is that from the ASF's point of view
your project's name is "Apache Ki", no just "Ki".

About the actual risks associated with FixFlyer's considering that
Apache Ki infringes on their trademarks, the best might be to ask
legal-disc...@apache.org.
  


I won't jump into the project again, but in this case, I have a bit more 
info to provide.


The problem has been postponed to le...@a.o months ago, not with a big 
success. I mentioned the case during ACEU  to at least 3 persons, two of 
them being from the board. All of them told me to send the problem to 
PRC (so far, no answer), mentioning that it was not worth the risk to 
fight Juniper or any other company if the name was already used.


This is something I don't get, and I see at least two problems here :
1) there is no clear process to solve such issues. Should it be 
processed by legal or PRC ? Plus those two entities are not responsive, 
and if we receive answer, they may be contradictory. Again, we don't 
need opinion, we need a clear and legal position. Opinions don't pay the 
bill when it comes to pay a lawyer.
2) I *think* than instead bothering everyone in all those instances, the 
easiest way to solve this issue was to change the name. But it seems 
that some people don't like simple solutions... As a consequence, it 
lasts forever (around one year, so far).


Otherwise, I totally agree with what Alan has written.

JSecurity was deemed as a potential naming conflict risk (much in the same

over again, since it seemed like no one was willing to come to consensus on
other names.  It is very difficult to find an even remotely-correlated name
in the security space that might not infringe on another
site/company/product/trademark/patent.



ok, I see. At least, for JSecurity, these conflicts never came up, did they?
  

http://www.juniper.net/security/


That's why so many project go with names from biona or mythology.

  

Given the difficulty and the enormous amount of time spent already, we just
wanted to move on to focus exactly on the things you mention, and only worry
about changing the name yet again if it was absolutely required by the
Incubator to do so.  That being said, if the Incubator says "the Ki podling
must change its name", then fine, we'll be happy to do so, but most of us
didn't want to spend the effort worrying about it unless necessary.



To me, it seems neccessary, but this is just my 2 eurocent.
  
It took 4 months to move from JSecurity to Ki, just because, very like 
this thread, people are *discussing* for ever something which would be 
immediately solved if common sense was applied : avoid as much as 
possible any risk, and change the name if the risk is becoming a reality.


It will take another 4 months to decide to switch from Ki to something 
more appropriate if we follow the same pattern. That's a waste of time 
and energy.


Bernd, I'm totally on the same page with you.

If a community meets all the criteria, but hasn't discovered a new
committer (or two) by itself, is the community ready for graduation?
If not, how can we—mentors— nudge the community to focus on this

There are at least two scenarios:



Yup, but I'd like to add a third one:
 - the podling has voted in a new committer, but only because the
committer was 'discovered' by the mentors
  

Whoever 'discover' the new committer is irrelevent, IMO.

Now, regarding the 2 scenarii Aaron listed, the first one is probably 
the most problematic. The second one is likely not an issue, as a 
project entering incubation is generally coming from the outside with a 
community (somehow) as it should be accepted only with an existing codebase.


So if the people are relucting to vote in a contributor, it may be the 
mentor's role to suggest doing so. The reason people don't want to vote 
some new committer, beside the contribution's quality, is this 
'ownership' feeling the people have to swallow. Not easy. When you have 
worked years on a project, finally got it accepted in incubation, and 
see newcomers posting new code, it's not easy to accept the idea that 
you don't own the code anymore.

It is hard work to keep track of contributors and identify those with
enough merit, when you are busy solving licensing issues, releasing
and trying to keep your project going. 
But OTOH, it's easy to track a new contributor, see if he/she is keeps 
going (just looking at the mailing list, not necessarily evaluating the 
technical merit), and at some point, just ask the committers about the 
level of quality of those contributions. Then asking for a vote, or at 
least proposing it.

Wouldn't a community only be
ready when they themselves are capable of looking beyond their own
coding, contemplate what's happening in their community and take
necessary action?
  

Probably.

While I understand that Mentors should prod the community into action
at times, but shouldn't Mentors also take a step back and let the
community become enlightened by themselves?
  
Well, we should not consider mentors as doers, not as flies around the 
cake. We are shepherds, here : we give directions, try to avoid 
mistakes, explain 'the apache way', and help as much as we can. If we 
don't do that, and let the community educating itself, I guess that it 
will go right in some walls more often than necessary... IMHO, of course.

community would recognize and add them themselves. it isn't up to the
mentors to do anything except perhaps suggest they consider it if they're
being really thick about it.
A bit too convoluted a sentence for my English decoder ;) Do you mean 
that if the community is suggesting voting a new committer, then the 
mentors should not do anything ? Well, in this case mentors can express 
Joy and uncock champagne, of course, but mentors can also -1 the vote if 
they think that the potential committer does not fit for some reason. 
But it's unlikely !


it would be cool if the mentors might suggest possible relationships with
other projects where there might be synergy and perhaps cross 
pollination?
I *think* that we do that. I hope ... We are not necessarily around to 
drive the new project from the technical aspect, but it cost nothing to 
inform the podling that some choices might hurt the project, or if we 
know about something similar done somewhere else, we can suggest using 
it instead of reinventing the wheel. More important, as we are using a 
lot of existing component, we can give feedback about them (like, "yeah, 
maven 2 just do the job", or "don't write your own logging system". This 
kind of stuff.).

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache Aries incubator for Enterprise OSGi

2009-09-02 Thread Emmanuel Lecharny

Guillaume Nodet wrote:

We have in this proposal a lot of people who are not felix committers and
who are not even apache committers at all.

They want to work on some code and create a community around it.  The way
the ASF works means that the incubator is the right place to do so.  The
only other solution is to develop it in a closed source environment and
submit it at Apache when it's done, and i really don't think it's a good
idea, given the willingness to do it in open source.
The blueprint implementation has been developped so far inside the Geronimo
TLP, part of the reason is that some of the people working on it were not
felix committers, so it was way easier to work there instead of contributing
patches until getting committership.It is very difficult to commit to
work on a new implementation of anything when you don't even have commit
priviledges.  It's ok for patches, but not for a new dev.   That's what we
have here.   We have people here wanting to work on some new OSGi spec
implementation, and the only way for them to do so at Apache in to go into
the incubator.
  
Having apache committers from a project be granted commit access to 
another project is not really a problem, as soon as the other project's 
PMC decide what are the "rules".


The new project can also be a Felix subproject, with specific commit 
access granted to a specific set of committers, if needed. I'm pretty 
sure that infra can deal with such a granularity. Also the felix PMC can 
check that the new committers are not committing in the other projects, 
if needed.


So far, this is how we did for FtpServer, SSHd and Vysper in MINA. In 
fact, Vysper is still in a sandbox, but I can see the moment where it 
will get out, either as a MINA subproject, or as a TLP. The biggest 
advantage is that, as all the committers were already working on other 
projects, and as the MINA PMC was able to check that the project was 
following the rules (IP, etc), it's far easier than going through 
incubation.


I can see how better it could be for Aries to start as a felix 
subproject, for many reasons.

Even, if Aries was to compete against Felix in any way, it's not a good
enough argument.  We already have multiple projects in the ASF that do have
overlap as it was pointed already multiple times in this thread: mutliple
REST implementations, multiple JAX-WS implementations, etc...  But the Aries
podling does not aim to even provide alternative implementation to what
Felix already has, it's goal is to create a community with new people who
want to work on that and deliver both implementations of new OSGi specs
(such as blueprint and subsystems / applications, jpa ...) and also
additional extensions (such as blueprint custom namespaces for transactions,
etc...).
  
It would be better to see Felix as a OSGi aggregator (a bit like WS or 
DB are), with potentially many implementations. It would be so great if 
Buildr, Ant, Maven, Archiva, Continuum, were all embedded in a Build 
Tools project, instead of being one of the 70 TLP. From the user PoV, 
it's difficult to know what they all are doing.


This is a bit more general than just Felix, here. We have more than 70 
TLP, and this number will continue to grow in the next few years. Why 
can't we aggregate projects within categories at some point ?

For the independance, the only real place I know which provides OSGi
components, not tainted with a given framework are SpringSource (though it's
open source, the community is not really open) and OPS4J, but I do think
it's a different discussion.

I restate that the goal of the Aries proposal is to foster a community
around some new code implementing some OSGi specs.  And I don't think we can
do that inside an existing TLP, as we have non apache committers that want
to create this code.  That's what the incubator has been created for.
  
I'm not sure that because a project has non apache committers, it should 
be started in incubator, as soon as the TLP can "educate" the project. 
of course, if all the peope are non apache committers, that's a 
different story.


That being said, the best would be to first check for synergies, then 
think about creating the poddling if there are not too much overlap. Be 
pragmatic !

Re: [PROPOSAL][VOTE] Subversion

2009-11-04 Thread Emmanuel Lecharny

Greg Stein wrote:

 Subversion is a version control system.  You probably know it well as
it is the version control system employed by the Apache Software
Foundation.

 The Subversion project would like to join the Apache Software
Foundation to remove the overhead of having to run its own
corporation.  The Subversion project is already run quite like an
Apache project, and already counts a number of ASF Members amongst
its committers.

 Work on Subversion was originally started at CollabNet; Karl Fogel
was hired in January 2000.  Jim Blandy, at RedHat, already had an
initial design for the storage system, which was incorporated into the
FS design.  In February Brian Behlendorf invited Greg Stein to
contribute his WebDAV experience to Subversion.  Ben Colins-Sussman
was hired in April 2000 to work on the project.  In that same month
the first "all hands" meeting was held, where a number of "interested
people" came together to talk about the project.

 Subversion was run as an open source project since the early days.
Now, more than nine years later, it retains a healthy community,
and has a good number of committers.  In the life span of Subversion,
several committers have switched employers and have maintained involvement.
The committership is diverse, both geographically as well as in terms of
employment.

 The equivalent of the PMC consists of all the full committers to the
Subversion project (currently around 55 people).  The community uses the
voting process also used at the ASF.  Releases are signed off by gathering
votes/digital signatures of each committer who verified the release
candidate.

 We feel the ASF and Subversion communities are very compatible,
witness the cross interest that already exists. There is both a
vibrant developer as well as a large and active user community.
Technology-wise, Subversion builds on APR, and implements two Apache
HTTP Server modules.

 Note that Subversion has a number of related projects, which are not
part of this proposal (e.g. cvs2svn, TortoiseSVN, Subclipse).

 More information on Subversion can be found at
http://www.subversion.org/ and http://subversion.tigris.org/.

 The Subversion Corporation has a license to all source code, and has
CLAs on file for nearly all it's committers.  That is, we have all but
one or two full committers, and some percentage of partial committers.

 We have a number of *user-configurable* dependencies which are not
compatible with the AL:
 - Neon, a HTTP client library, used by libsvn_ra_neon, is LGPL.
   (An alternative HTTP client library, libsvn_ra_serf uses the Serf
library under ALv2.)

 - Qt, KDE and GNOME libraries are also under LGPL-2.1. D-Bus (which
is also used by libsvn_auth_gnome_keyring and libsvn_auth_kwallet) is
under Academic Free License 2.1 or >=GPL-2.
   (This support is for integration for KDE and GNOME's authentication
providers.)

 - libintl
   (This library provides translation support for systems without
a proper internationalization library.)

 - BDB
   (This is used by the libsvn_fs_base system which stores its data
in BDB; an alternative repository system called fs_fs does not
have this dependency.)

I would bet that most of the Apache project are following the C-T-R

IMO, it's up to the project PMC to define the correct strategy, there is

I think another downside is, that (maybe depending on the community) 
in reality a proper review often doesn't happen in the case
of CTR and in the case of performance/scalability this can be very 
bad, because the actual problems are often detected
at a very late stage and then it can be very hard to solve these 
issues, because the code has already advanced too far.


I see the postive sides of CTR re community and progress,  but I think 
it requires some additional rules, guidelines

in order to make it work.
As a matter of fact, at Directory, we are using CTR since the beginning, 
and we have had to define those rules. It's pretty easy :

- if it does not compile locally, don't commit
- when you commit, always try to do it in a way a simple revert restore 
the previous state

- when doing some heavy refactoring, do it in a branch
- add some integration tests early in the process
- for new committers, check their commits until they are trustable
- define some code rules (syntax, comments, etc) followed by everyone.

That's pretty much it, and it work quite well considering the project 
size (325 000 slocs as of today...)

You can contest, but the fact is that a release is just a revision in

carefully this : http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what

and more specifically the last paragraph :

" The Apache Software Foundation produces open source software. All 
releases are in the form of the *source materials* needed to make 
changes to the software being released. In some cases, binary/bytecode 
packages are also produced as a convenience to users that might not have 
the appropriate tools to build a compiled version of the source. In all 
such cases, the binary/bytecode package must have the *same version 
number* as the source release and may only add binary/bytecode files 
that are the result of compiling that version of the source code release"


In other word, the release *is* the SVN revision that has been voted.


but let's leave that for another thread. I'm watching the
issue and perhaps I'll restore the LICENSE file on top of the tree.
Please do. If you are not convinced by the complex wording used by the 
Apache site, just have a look at every ASF project, you will see that 
the LICENSE file is present in each trunk and tag.


It's also explicitly written on 
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice.


At least, I would suggest that you restore the file, then discuss the 
rationale for this file being present or not on another thread:)

Bzzt. The release package may contain files not found in svn. See httpd
releases for examples.  That is why the document you referenced avoids
discussion of svn; it's the actual tarball that counts.


Thanks for correcting my wrong understanding. Yes, release = tarball

At least, I would  suggest that you restore the file, then discuss the

The reason it's good to have the LICENSE and NOTICE file appear in the
base of any reasonable svn checkout is because svn is a distribution
point for developers, so having license info about the collected work
(represented by an svn checkout) appear in expected places is important.


I buy that.

Partitioning the community between users and devs makes it very

If projects arrive at the Incubator with an already-built user
community, then sure. Create separate lists. But small communities
should (IMO) stick to a single dev@ list until you can't handle the
traffic any more. If you started elsewhere with two lists, but your
list traffic is still "small", then I would recommend combining them
when arriving at the Incubator.

It is obviously a call for each podling to make, so I'm simply
recommending that all podlings consider the impact of dividing your
community when you ask for separate dev/user lists. I believe it is
rarely appropriate.


And I'm all about consistency.  Most (if not all, I haven't checked)
ASF projects have separate user/dev lists.
We, at Directory, created the users mailing list 2 years *after* exiting 
from incubation. Until then, we had mainly interaction with developers, 
not users. Eventually, some of those early adopters became committers. 
In fact, it's hard to get real users before the project is well established.


In restrospect, it was a damn good idea : having an empty user list 
gives your potential users a bad feeling. Once you have enough real 
'users' (quite unlikely if your project is just in incubation without an 
installed base), then creating a separate list where you actually have 
daily posts is good.



Consistency is one thing, being pragmatic is probably a better idea.

like a solution which extends to tomcat only...

Syncope officially supports Apache Tomcat 7 as first option [1],
Glassfish 3.1.1 (recently, on trunk) [2] and JBoss 7 (ongoing work, on
trunk) [3].


+1 for the proposal otherwise, I can help mentoring the project to
some extent.

Does this mean that we can put your name on the proposal? ;-)

Sure.

Hi Martijn,

Martijn Dashorst wrote:

I would
therefore continue maintaining the old jsecurity code, and release
those outside the incubator, just as normal business for your project.
  
There are options. Maintaining the old repo can be tough, as the 
repository will be different, and make merges difficult. Another 
possibility is to deploy the new jars into more than one maven repo : 
incubator's and current jsecurity's repo.


I'd suggest also to rename the packages only when
you are almost ready to graduate. This allows you to merge current
development and maintenance quite easily.
  
This is only if you intent to keep both subversion repo alive in //. But 
if users base their development on apache Jsecurity version, they will 
find it painfull to change the package at the very last moment. Don't 
know ... What if they release a preliminary version on Apache with the 
new packages, and make it the base for the incubator developments, so 
that users can use it straight away and benefit from the new features 
JSecurity will implement in the near future ? It can alleviate the 
burden of maintaining two different code bases, out of which one is 
known to be dead...

THe WIcket project did have all code imported into the incubator repo,
so we could easily backport features/bug fixes. We just released the
artifacts on sourceforge and uploaded them ourselves to the central
repo using the outside channels. We *did* make perfectly clear that
even though Wicket is in the incubator, that the release wasn't
endorsed by nor associated with Apache. You can look at the releases
for Wicket 1.2 (http://wicketframework.org/wicket-1.2) to see how we
did this.
  

This work too. Depends on the existing user's base, I guess ?

The Apache based development (org.apache.wicket) happened in parallel,
but for the most part in the same namespace as the old wicket code. We
did create a couple of releases inside the incubator to learn how to
perform an Apache release. But iirc we never actually published those
releases to the greater public.

This process worked great for Wicket, but your mileage may vary.
  

In any case, Wicket team made it solid. A valuable experience for sure !

Thanks Martijn !

Which was in the thousands for Wicket at the time, with numerous
systems in production.
  
and it makes perfect sense to follow your way in this case. How many 
users does JSecurity has ?


Regarding the potential incubation failure, I would say that the cost of 
a double migration will be overwhelmed by the killing effect of this 
failure. It's a little bit like picking the lawyer to manage your 
divorce before the wedding :).


However, with thousands existing users, like for wicket, it makes sense 
too (I don't know how many lawyers Bill Gates consulted before being 
married ;)


At this point, the JSecurity team will have to make the best choice.

I don't know the exact usage, but I'm sure it is in lower thousands -
many people use our .jars directly, but probably many more use it via
3rd party plugins (Grails plugin, etc) that is built on top of

It sounds as if waiting at the last possible second to move from
org.jsecurity.* to org.apache.jsecurity.* is the best option for us.
That way we can move over to the Apache SVN as soon as possible, but
impact the existing community only when absolutely necessary.
  
Sounds reasonnable too. Thanks to modern IDE, package renaming is just a 
matter of minutes (as soon as you don't forget to modify the Spring

Another reason to skip incubation is the possible lost of visibility of
the project expressed in [5]:
"...The thing is, people looking at HC may just say "Oh, Droids.
Interesting" and take a look and join the community, whereas in
incubator, who knows, it's might be lost in the noise"

One suggestion for this points is suggested in [6]:
"I does seem to me like there should be some sort of incubation fast
track for a lab project that wants to become a subproject of an existing
TLP."

The thing that Droids [7] needs now is more exposure, committer with
different use cases and different needs for robots and plugins. This is
the only way to create a truly "intelligent standalone robot framework".

BTW I started an incubator proposal [8].

WDYT about either skipping or fast track incubation or doing the
standard incubation?
  
IMHO, a fast track incubation is ok. The project still need incubation, 
in order to meet the ASF requirements (community diversity, for one of 
them), but it should not take months to be promoted to a TLP/sub-project.

No, it's not.  Anything that creates an impetus for a podling to get

This isn't college - you don't get to stay here for the best seven
years of your life.  =)

I would almost say we should revisit the entire policy of letting a

*that* can of worms.  -- justin


EXACTLY.  I'm reading about 1/2 the -1 votes against Maven-releases as
against *releases*.  Which is absurd.  The current situation of .jar
distribution from people.apache.org is crap, you know it, and maven is
the appropriate solution.
The problem with a release injected in maven is that it will be there 
forever. If a release has some problems (IP issues, etc), you can't 
remove it from maven, as some projects might depend on it, and the users 
will immediately carpet bomb the maven ML to get the release back into 
the repo. Sounds like a possible scenario, no ?

This is a slight majority (of binding votes) for accepting the
proposed change, but given the clear lack of consensus and the
concerns voiced about that, I unfortunately need to conclude that this
issue should be tabled until better consensus is reached.



If this was a release vote then I could understand it - since people
judge the importance of issues differently - and fixing the issues and
moving on to a new release is often easier since it maintains
consensus. On this issue though, its been well debated several times -
it s clear that there won't be consensus in the near future - so why
should the minority get their way when they lost the vote? If this
vote doesn't pass then we need to re-write the rules to define how
much of a majority overturns the status quo. Perhaps two thrids,
perhaps no negative votes. If this policy isn't implemented, then I
think all the people who voted +1 at least deserve a definition of how
short we fell of passing this vote and what the bar is.
  
having voted -1 myself, and even if I still think that it's not a result 
I like, I also think that we need to move on and consider the vote as 
positive.


If we discover after a few months that it was a bad idea, then we can 
vote again, and fix the problem.


Better a bad decision than no decision, otherwise, soon, nobody will 
vote anymore...


And about the other concerns, we can also start some discussions and 
vote, too.

It's still listed under "monthly" at
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ReportingSchedule, but you're right,
after 3 months a podling goes to the normal schedule.

So I think you can remove it from "monthly" at
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ReportingSchedule, and remove it from
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/November2008
  
Ok, done. I still have added a very short report on JSecurity this 
month, just to inform that we have moved the codee base to the ASF repo.


Thanks Bertrand !

JSecurity: I really don't need to go follow URLs into SVN (or tracking down

I'm happy to put it in the wiki and I will do so as soon as I can.
  

Already done :)

I did the link because we were modifying the file over the last two
days.  It didn't make sense to me to change the wiki every time we
changed the file (all of our reports are in SVN, easily traceable and
recorded).  Instead, linking to HEAD ensured that the wiki always
reflected the most up to date and current revision.  I thought I was
actually acting in the 'wiki spirit' by ensuring that the data never
had the possibility of getting out of sync, i.e. link instead of
replicate.
  

Np. You did what you thought was the best.

Now if it is Incubator policy that we must use the Wiki for board
reports, then we'll stop using SVN.  My concern is that I want to
avoid the possibility of multiple editing places and the potential
confusion that might arise as a result.
  
We can still use SVN, but when the report is validated, we simply push 
the content into the wiki, as I said in my first mail.

What is policy?  I'm just trying to learn - thanks for any guidance!
  
Just as I said : write down the report (either as a simple mail, or in 
SVN), and when validated by the team, then push the content to the wiki

At least, we delivered a report in time ;)

Ok, cool - thanks for the clarification.  I'd prefer only one 'editing
mechanism' in place, so I'll stick with email for formulating the
report and then pasting it into the wiki when it is agreed upon.  My
personal opinion is that I don't like the possibility of out-of-date
changes that can occur when using both SVN and the wiki.
  
btw, you can also use the wiki alone, as it can be modified until done. 
One single 'editing mechanism' :) And you have an history !

When I was asked to became a mentor, I accepted. That was an obvious
decision. Now, I really do think that having too many mentors is not
necessarily a good idea. I rather prefer having someone like Jim with a
very deep knowledge on how The ASF work, especially for such a project,
with potentially "political" interactions, and more important, a lot of PR
to deal with. NetBeans is not one of the project we see often at Incubator,
I do think it deserves hot guns.

Better have a hard core set of mentors from the beginning than having a
bunch of people that will quit during incubation, IMHO.

Btw, I really do think that adding someone from Infra is mandatory, due to
the high requirement on Infra this project will have.

My 2 cts ;-)
