Project reboot proposals - any guidance?

2013-10-24 Thread Nick Burch

Hi All

I'm currently helping the XMLBeans community put together a proposal to 
reboot their project, which is otherwise destined for the attic. However, 
while I've helped a few new projects enter the incubator in the past, I've 
never tried helping with a reboot. As such, I'm not quite sure if the 
initial proposal is quite right or not.


Do we have any guidance on what a reboot proposal should and shouldn't 
contain?


If not, any chance people could cast any eye over the proposal, and either 
fix stuff if they can, or flag it for work if not? The proposal is at:

 https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/XMLBeansProposal

Thanks
Nick

Problems in the community?


The previous PMC withered away, but a lot of the users remained. The wider 
community kept answering queries, producing bug reports etc, but the 
supervision part wasn't there which is why the board stepped in.


As I understand it, there's still quite a lot of interest in XMLBeans, but 
it's from a different (and smaller) area than most of the original PMC was 
made up of.


Is it enough to make a full go of it? I'm not sure. Is it enough for me to 
sign up as a mentor to let them try? Yup! :)

That's actually a great point. The way I look at it is this: there's 
nothing wrong with an alternative healthy community, but it has to be 
healthy. So I guess what I'm really saying is this: it may behove us to 
double click into the health of community for these types of overlapping 
projects when it is time for them to graduate.


One thing I'd also say - for new potential community members, there ought 
not to be confusion. I don't personally see a problem with us having 
multiple projects in one space, as long as we can explain to new community 
members which one they should pick for their needs. "We have two Java 
libraries for Fooing a Bar" isn't great. "If you need to Foo a Bar, we've 
Apache CoffeeBar in Java, or Apache SnakeBar in Python" does help people 
pick. "If you need to Foo your Bar, we've Apache SnapBar for low latency 
Fooing, or Apache BigSuperBar for highly scalable and fault tolerant 
batching Fooing" is good too. In both cases, there's a clear distinction 
for new people to work out which is right for them, so they can join the 
right community, or even go elsewhere if they need to.


However, I worry if there are two related projects who disagree on 
personality rather than technology or architecture...

Choices:


There is another option, which I mentioned in the other key signing thread

In-person keysigning doesn't just have to be at ApacheCons, there are more 
frequent and more geographically distributed options too! Most BarCamps do 
keysignings, and some meetups too. They tend to be more geographically 
spread than ApacheCon, and they're much easier to organise. [1]


In addition, we have the "Apache Local Mentors" program, which I'd
encourage all IPMC mentors to sign up to if they haven't already:
   http://community.apache.org/localmentors.html
As well as going to your nearest local Apache mentor for advise on getting
into open source, help with understanding the Apache way etc, you could
also ask them to sign your key. Even if you can only get one link into the
WoT from one local mentor, it's still much better than nothing!


So, for a short-term fix for your potential Release Manger, I'd suggest 
you get them in touch with a nearby local mentor. IPMC mentors should sign 
themselves up for the local mentors program, to help out future new RMs :)

Fast Feather Track at ACNA13 - The incubator's chance to get involved!

2013-02-13 Thread Nick Burch

Hi All

Hopefully all of you know that it's ApacheCon in Portland in just under 2 
weeks. The Community Over Code track in particular should be of great 
interest + help to many in the incubator community, as we've some 
excellent speakers talking about all sorts of things around our projects, 
development and ways of working.


Another set of talks that will be taking place is the "Fast Feather 
Track", which is a series of shorter talks (~15 minutes) on things that 
are new, interesting, exciting and upcoming. This is a great place for 
newer Incubating Projects to talk about themselves, gain new exposure, and 
also practice ApacheCon speaking in preparation for future full talks!


The talk proposal submission process for the FFT is set to be announced 
tomorrow, but I wanted to give the Incubator a heads-up first as I know 
how important it's been for podlings in the past!


To propose a talk, please use the form at http://s.apache.org/FFT13

If not many people from your project watch this list, please let others in 
your community know too!



Also, thinking of ApacheCon and podling communities, don't forget we've 
got a BarCamp[1] on the Sunday before (great chance to learn more about 
Apache and talk about your project), a Hackathon[2] on the Monday (draw 
new people into contributing to your project), and you can host a meetup 
one evening[3] if you wish.


Hopefully see many of you in Portland!

[VOTE] Graduation of the Chemistry Podling

2011-02-11 Thread Nick Burch

Hi All

The Chemistry podling has been in the incubator since early 2009. In the 
last 6 months, the podling has had two sucessful Java releases, and now 
its first sucessful non-Java release too. The community is healthy and 
diverse, has added new committers, and brought in other code bases + their 
communities via the IP clearing process.


Following advice from the mentors, the Chemistry podling has now voted to 
graduate:

The vote has received 12 PPMC approvals, of which 2 were also IPMC 
approvals (Jukka Zitting and myself).


I'd therefore like to ask the IPMC to approve the graduation.
 +1 - I approve of the Chemistry graduation

That would be great.  There is also another project (or set of projects)

The ODF Toolkit work was all written to an Apache 2.0 license.  I think
we're agreed that this should go to Apache as well.  But we were not sure
what the best place would be.  I could see a close relationship to Apache
POI.  It is very similar to those components, but it is certainly not a
"Microsoft" file format.  And I don't agree that the "Pretty Obfuscated
Interface" part accurately describes ODF.  But I could also see the ODF
Toolkit being a component in the Office project, perhaps even being
co-incubated with today's proposal.


POI has generally stuck to the Microsoft formats for two reasons:
* It's where we started, and where we knew best
* We haven't had the volunteer energy to take on a whole new format

Speaking personally, I would be interested in seeing how ODF Toolkit could 
fit within the POI project. We already have a number of components, and 
interfaces that try to smooth over the differences between the different 
formats underneath. In the past, we helped bring in the OpenXML4J project 
which became part of what powers many of our components today, so it's not 
too large a stretch. We certainly wouldn't say no to new people joining 
the project :)


This would possibly warrant a seperate discussion though, especially if 
the codebase were to be destined for POI rather than a new TLP.


As I don't think many of the POI committers are currently actively 
involved in the Incubator, it might be worth you sending something through 
to the dev list giving an introduction to the project and the code, and 
hopefully we can then tempt people over to a thread here to discuss the 
toolkit.

The following project is being sent in as an incubator candidate.


As there are likely quite a few people new to Apache interested in and

Firstly with an IPMC/ComDev hat on. There's a lot of useful information on 
how the incubator works to be found on the incubator website. The podling 
guides are a good place to start:

   http://incubator.apache.org/guides/index.html
And the Who/How/When are worth a look through:
   http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html

If you'd like to know more about communities at Apache, and getting 
involved, then Community Development (ComDev) provide guides:

   http://community.apache.org/
These complement the overall guides on the main site (which provide some 
overviews, along with details on specific tasks and questions):

   http://www.apache.org/dev/


Onto a different topic, this time with my Conference Committee (ConCom) 
hat on. If you're interested in learning more about the ASF, the 
Incubator, The Apache Way, or even just meeting other Apache developers, 
then there are two events coming up. Firstly there's an Apache BarCamp in 
Oxford in September[1]. Secondly there's ApacheCon in Vancouver in 
November, which will feature a lot on Community (schedule due up soon, 
once all the speakers confirm!)

On Wed, 1 Jun 2011, robert_w...@us.ibm.com wrote:

But I see this as pulling in two directions:

1) On the one hand it is a good fit for a module in an OpenOffice SDK, so
the OpenOffice project might be a good fit.  On the other hand ODF is an
application-independent document format, not necessarily just for
OpenOffice.  So we might not want to bury it as a component in this much
larger project.


It's not impossible for a project to live in one TLP, but be referenced by 
another. One example is the various projects within the Hadoop family. 
Most of them are independent TLPs, which do collaborate and work together, 
with the websites linking each other.



2) It is complementary to POI, doing some of the same functions with ODF
that POI does with MS Office binary and OOXML documents.  But it is a
little bit of scope creep if POI takes on non-Microsoft formats.  I could
live with that, if done consistently in how POI describes itself.


I can't speak for the whole project, but personally I'd be interested in 
discussing how the POI mission statement could be expanded, and if that'd 
work well for everyone.


Another option of course is to incubate it toward its own TLP 
eventually. We do have Java and C# libraries already, along with some 
useful ODF-processing XSLT scripts, a servlet "runner" and an ODF 
validator components.


It may be worth bringing all of these in as one podling, seperate from the 
main OOo one. Once in the incubator, the communities can decide where they 
want to go, which could be aiming for a TLP for all the ODF tools, or 
could be some moving to POI and some into the OOo podling.


I'll have more cycles to discuss that on the POI dev list once we get 
the OpenOffice podling off to a smooth start.


Hopefully discussions on the POI dev list can shake out a few mentors (I'm 
happy to mentor an ODF Toolkit podling, but it'd take more than just me!), 
then we could put together a proposal to bring in the ODF Toolkit. As Bill 
has pointed out, it could be a 2nd proposal alongside the OOo one, and 
potentially a quicker one to get in as the situation is simpler.

One thing to be aware of is that your first release at Apache is always

doing a small, incremental release ASAP to get the process sorted, rather

The good news is that as soon as the lists are set up, the podling would 
be able to vote you in. If you've been involved in the project before, 
that should be very quick, though for future new contributors it would 
normally wait until after they've submitted patches that everyone is happy

If you are mentoring an incubator podling and are not a pmc chair,

your new committer.


We don't need to bug infra though, we have enough people in the incubator

The lists have now been created for the ODF Toolkit podling

Anyone who's interested in the project should sign up to the user and dev

odf-...@incubator.apache.org


If you'd like to subscribe, sent two emails, one to each of:

  odf-dev-subscr...@incubator.apache.org

More details on the lists, and their archives will be available (shortly) 
at:

   http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-odf-users/
   http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-odf-dev/

For those listed on the initial committers list at 
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/odftoolkit.html (and no-one else, 
sorry), you should also subscribe to the private list. You may wish to 
subscribe from your @apache.org email address, so it's easier for the 
moderators to check you should be on there. The subscription address fro 
that is odf-private-subscr...@incubator.apache.org, but again that's for 
the initial committers and mentors only


I'd suggest we give it a day or two for everyone to subscribe, then we can 
kick off a discussion on the dev list about migrating the code, website, 
wiki, issues etc, as well as the process of advising existing mailing list 
subscribers on the move to Apache lists.

All your release artifacts need a NOTICE and LICENSE, war archives are no

The policy  seems to

Fast Feather Track at ApacheCon - submit your talk now!

2010-10-04 Thread Nick Burch

Hi All

We've under a month to go now to Atlanta, and hopefully you've all registered 
and are all looking forward to a great week?


Other than our packed schedule of talks, our growing list of meetups (see 
Shane's email from Friday for more details on hosting your own), what could be 
more exciting than your Next Big Thing? Well, that's where the Fast Feather 
Track comes in!


The Fast Feather Track provides space for the projects that are just too 
new or fast-moving to fit in to the normal CFP. It's especially a great 
slot for new incubator projects to talk about what they're up to, or share 
their passion for some new technology out there. So, this is your chance 
of twenty minutes of fame for your incubating project :)


The Fast Feather Track is all about the technology - so whether you're a 
novice or a natural at public speaking, there's room for you! Anything new 
at The Apache Software Foundation belongs here, along with new external 
technologies that can help us work better. Whether you're ready for 
showtime and want the world to know, or you're still finding your feet, 
and just fishing for a few new contributors / mentors, this is the slot 
for you!


What we're after now is people to tell us what they want to talk about. 
We've got a room for a day, and a big empty schedule board with 20 minute 
slots on it, so now all we need is some talks to fill it with... We're 
aiming to fix most of the schedule now, but we'll probably keep a few 
slots spare for some last minute talks. But if you've already got your 
ticket, and you know what you want to talk about, please let us know now, 
so we can make sure there's space for everyone.


To submit your talk, please head over to google docs and tell us about yourself 
and your talk:



We'll see you, your projects, and your great short talks in Atlanta!

Nick

(NB Speaking in the Fast Feather Track does not entitle you to the full
range of speaker perks - you'll get a shiny badge, and your bio in the
program, but you won't get your travel, room or registration comped.
Doesn't make it any less fun though, we promise!)

license, etc:



Thanks for the tips. We already had a setup.py, but no handy release 
signing script, so I've pinched the latter


One thing that had worried me was that if you built a python egg, it 
didn't seem to have most of the license details in it. I see that you only 
do the zip and tar builds, which do, so I guess we'll follow your lead and 
skip out eggs.

Fast Feather Track at ApacheCon - talk about your incubating projects!

2010-10-27 Thread Nick Burch

Hi All

If you're going to be at ApacheCon in Atlanta next week, and no-one is 
already speaking about your incubating project, then you really ought to 
sign up for the Fast Feather Track!


The Fast Feather Track is running on the Thursday, and sessions are about 
20 minutes long. It's a great chance for you to talk about your incubating 
project, either to attract new developers, new mentors, or inspire people 
with the cool stuff your project does and get them using it!


So, if you're going to be in Atlanta, why not sign up to give a talk on 
your project? While we've lots of great submissions already, I'm trying to 
keep some slots open for the incubator, as it really is a great 
experience, a good way to get new users and developers, and a preparation 
for full session slots for next year! Signup is through the web form at


 http://s.apache.org/FFT

Hopefully see many of you (presenting!) next week!

I'd suggest you have a browse through the infra and infra-dev list

Possible software grant for POI

2008-09-24 Thread Nick Burch

Hi All

With my POI PMC chair hat on, I've been speaking to the company behind the 
OpenXML4J[1] library. Within POI, we use OpenXML4J for the fiddly bits in 
dealing with ooxml files.


The company behind OpenXML4J would like OpenXML4J to become part of POI. 
Having spoken with Robert Burrell Donkin about it, we think that a 
software grant would probably be the best bet. (Most users of OpenXML4J do 
so through POI, and poi committers currently make up half the OpenXML4J 
committer base)


Is the process as documented at
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html
the correct one to follow for this?

Thanks

IP clearance template - tweak sanity check

2015-08-22 Thread Nick Burch

Hi All

I hit a snag when trying to fill out the IP clearance template, in the 
"Identify name recorded for software grant" section, as it used to only 
refer to grants.txt. Based on advice from Craig wearing his secretary hat, 
I've updated that to handle grants given as part of a CCLA, as well as 
giving some guidance on what to write there.


The new text is now about twice as long, but hopefully clearer on how to 
fill it out. A sanity check from others would be good though!

Field 4 is the "form on file" name though, which is why I'd written it as

Re: [DISCUSS] [PROPOSAL] Omid for Apache Incubator

2016-03-19 Thread Nick Burch

On Fri, 18 Mar 2016, Greg Trasuk wrote:
I don’t think it’s the Incubator’s job to choose which competing 
projects should join the foundation.  All we’re here to do is to make 
sure that a community knows how to act like an Apache community, and 
that the artifacts are licensed properly.


This is only my view, and I know that some key incubator folks think 
it's too prescriptive, but I have seen it work


TL;DR - Alternate ideas and approaches Good, Confusion or Corporatism Bad

Where we have two different communities, working in the same space, but in 
different languages or different approaches, then that's fine. The ASF 
doesn't pick "winners", it picks "runners". So, having a Batch 
implementation of the Foo protocol in C, and having a proposed podling for 
a Streaming implementation of the Foo protocol in Java is fine.


Where we have two different companies doing rival implementations who 
refuse to co-operate, that's an issue. Two companies who are competitors, 
who both read the "Foo protocol" spec / Foo paper, and who found rival 
projects to implement Foo in Java, is a problem. They don't have a 
technical distinction, just a refusal to co-operate and a refusal to take 
off $DAYJOB hats and a refusal to work for the best interests of the 
community. That's an issue for the incubator and the ASF


If we have a similar proposed project coming in, I would expect the 
proposed project to have a chat with the existing one to see if a merger 
is possible. If they're in the same langauge, and take similar approaches, 
then a merger could deliver a better community with more features, which 
would be better for everyone.


However, if they two communities had a chat, and decided they really were 
different + could explain that, then in my book that's fine. Document and 
explain those, so potential new community members can pick the "right" one 
for them. Maybe collaborate on some common code / tests / etc, don't 
bad-mouth each other, and help new people pick the appropriate one for 
them, then that's fine.


AcmeCorp and Contoso both want to bring a Java project for doing Foo, and 
won't co-operate because they're competitors = red flag


AcmeCorp found a Ruby project for Foo, grow it, bring it to the ASF, then 
a formerly Contoso backed Java project for Foo comes, fine.


AcmeCorp did a "Foo for 1-3 machines that's easy to get started with" and 
want to bring that, while Contoso have been working on a Foo that's a bit 
tough to setup for small clusters, but scales brilliantly past 3 racks, 
that's fine. The can share some Foo compliance tests, and new community 
members can consider their deployment sizes and pick the "right" one to 
join for them



Only my view, though at least some others share it, I hope that helps at 
least a little?

Handy reminder for wiki admins - if it would help to have a page editable

Then be sure to keep an eye on the page and fix up any issues. Only an 
option for child pages though, must never be done for the main wiki index
