Because it is an experiment, and putting lots of projects on it turns it into a real project before it is ready. At present, the work goes to the project to get its code into Apache. If they went to git, on failure, it would end up as infrastructure's work to migrate it. It needs to stay with just one project until that has reached the right level to take on more.

Re: Git to SVN
The ASF exists to produce software for the public good. Its software is its primary (only?) asset. Therefore, it needs to be in control of this asset, and that means being in control of the revision control tools used to maintain it. This means that whatever revision control is used, it must be managed by the Foundation. As to whether Git can be used, we have an experiment happening. Folks who want to see Git adopted can help with that experiment.

Seems to me that it would save us so much in resources and time to take advantage of their free accounts for open source projects and they seem to be doing a pretty good job. Perhaps there are concerns about relying on a third party but for an organization powered by volunteers, using a free service like this could be a great benefit. Perhaps there are good reasons why this cannot be done but was wondering if it was discussed at all. -leo On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 10:46 AM, Christian Grobmeier grobme...@gmail.comwrote: On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 7:38 PM, Jeremy Thomerson jer...@thomersonfamily.com wrote: On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 1:30 PM, Christian Grobmeier grobme...@gmail.com wrote: In addition you can ask on wave-dev.

Andrus --- Andrus Adamchik Apache Cayenne ORM: http://cayenne.apache.org/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/andrus_a --- == OpenMeetings Project Proposal == == Abstract == Openmeetings is a web conferencing solution. == Proposal == Openmeetings provides video conferencing, instant messaging, white board, collaborative document editing and other groupware tools using API functions of the Red5 Streaming Server for Remoting and Streaming. == Background == Openmeetings was developed since 2007 by Sebastian Wagner and willing developers. The project ships a release approximately once per quarter. It was developed using LGPL license, and developers are currently thinking of re-licensing it under Apache License 2.0. The project started as module by Sebastian Wagner for an ELearning platform (Dokeos) and was then split into a separated project. That is the reason why there is a strong relation to educational institutions that are using OpenMeetings and there are integrations for platforms like Moodle, ATutor, Sakai, STudIP or ILias available (http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/wiki/MoodlePlugins). The relation to educational institutions also subsequently lead to some projects funded by the EU where OpenMeetings was involved, for example by the Swedish/Finnish Centre of Open-Source !OpenKarken (Case-Study about the EU project at OSOR.eu: http://www.osor.eu/studies/finland-and-sweden- collaborate-using-oss ) The integration and internationalization of the project was a primary focus right from the start of the project. Since Version 0.5 there is a Language-Editor (http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/wiki/LanguageEditor) to edit labels, export and import them as XML and you can use those XML files for future installations (or contribute it to the community). There are currently around 30 languages available. Since version 0.5.1 there is also a SOAP API to integrate !OpenMeetings. We constantly improve this SOAP/REST API (http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/wiki/SoapMethods) with new functionality with a strong focus on security and usability. The auth-mechnism is quite similar to OAuth, you create some token and then assign rights to the token. (Documentation for Single Sign On: http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/wiki/DirectLoginSoapGeneralFlow) The project name !OpenMeetings and logos are inspired by Ludovic Gasc who has been the project manager at Dokeos at the time Sebastian split !OpenMeetings as separated project. Red5 Server provides an Edge-Orion-Clustering (http://trac.red5.org/wiki/Documentation/Tutorials/EdgeOriginClusteringCon figuration). We hope to extend this clustering solution with support for rtmpt and rtmps and integrate that into our application as native clustering option. == Rationale == Last year most major vendors started commercial web conferencing solutions. This is an important part of software ecosystem, and there is an urge to consolidate open source development efforts in this direction. According to several studies demand for synchronous Communication, in opposite to asynchronous Communication like wiki's or email, will raise the upcoming years. For example Gartner promises that 2011 the market will grow 20% according to their Magic Quadrant report 2010 ( http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?doc_cd=205941 ). Openmeetings is a unique solution in terms of patent purity and potentially can grow into solution built on top of the fully open source stack. That is why it is a good candidate for consolidating web conferencing community efforts. == Initial Goals == Each of project committers has their own set of goals, but we all share the following. * Move to Apache. * Become popular. To become popular we plan to do the following. * Improve ecosystem around the project. * Improve release process. * Improve project testing and stability. * Apply modular architecture/SOA for better integration with other projects. == Current Status == We have agreed on applying for the Apache Foundation and preparing our proposal for the vote. Technical status of the project is: Current stable tree is 1.8.x, Trunk is 1.9. ===
