If you could create a PoweredBy page on the project wiki, it would be great.

Hi, Flavio. I started with 0.3; used to make changes required by my
research to the code. Then I realized that keeping pace with and
contributing to the community is a win-win solution. So, yes, I've migrated
to 0.6, even though I still have to maintain some 0.3 applications. As you
might have noticed, I've already started submitting proposals/patches,
although some of them still need improvement.

Agree with @Flavio that we start a PoweredBy page (if nobody's doing it, I
shall do it). I believe more applications will be found.

Agreed, that's very cool. Hey, Kurtt, you're not using 0.3 any longer, you? 
Hopefully you have migrated to a newer version. 

I suggest we start a PoweredBy page with this use case.

Re: draft of ASF board report

2013-09-03 Thread Kurtt Lin
Hi, Flavio, Matthieu, Patrick, and all

Cheer up, guys. I'm seeing opportunities in this stream processing field as
well as in S4. What I haven’t mentioned is that, S4 had found successful
applications in our research group even back in the 0.3.0 days and now in
our start-up. We have built scalable real time search over microblogs with
some S4 features enhanced (the paper appears in 2013’s EDBT proceedings,
link is http://www.edbt.org/Proceedings/2013-Genova/papers/edbt/a31-lin.pdf);
we also built a platform on top of S4 for detecting and analyzing real-time
traffic conditions, processing over hundreds of millions of records every
day.

Now we plan to contribute to the community. I personally have created and
responded to some JIRAs, but I would like to do more. Actually, I am
ongoing proposing a design documentation of integrating S4 with Helix along
the roadmap; this would help enhancing the elasticity feature for S4.

So, I suppose we could put the "retirement" discussion aside? Give us the
new comers some time perhaps a couple of months to see what we can do to
make the community healthier. Of course, some of us are new; we shall ask
for your help and guidance occasionally, please be responsive (as what you
are doing now), :)

You all have done brilliant jobs! :)

Correct, I was referring to the recent thread about shutting down the
s4 podling. In the incubator that's called "retirement"
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/retirement.html

Glad to see folks stepping up!

the item 3 - deleted completely.

Can you shed more light on "retirement" discussion. I am new here and
probably missed it.

Re: draft of ASF board report

2013-09-03 Thread Flavio Junqueira
I think Pat is referring to the discussion we have had when I proposed to 
retire the project. I didn't use this exact word, but it is essentially what I 
meant. You and a few others stepped up and said that you wouldn't like to see 
it retiring and would like to give it a shot at helping with building a 
community, contributing patches, and just increasing activity in general.

Does it make sense?

I would remove 3 entirely - that's not needed for graduation.

You should also mention the result of the "retirement" discussion -
give the ipmc/board some insight: that folks stepped up and are
pushing forward, i.e. no retirement at this point.

When you say put out more releases, do you mean more in number or having
releases more frequently? S4 has had two releases already, but the frequency
of releases has been low in the past. I think activity is a real issue.

Your point 2 is a good summary of what I've been trying to say. We are on
the same page there.

Re: draft of ASF board report

2013-09-02 Thread Patrick Hunt
I have a few comments:

1) I don't think the issues listed in "Three most important issues to
address in the move towards graduation" are apropos. What you want to
list here is things blocking graduation. IMO this is two things; 1)
put out more releases, and 2) build community (of which 2 is more
important at this point)

2) I think you should also include mention of a PPMC member requesting
that the podling be retired - and the results of that discussion.

I think the IPMC would expect to see a more active and self-governing
project before voting for graduation, whether or not the podling puts
that down as an issue. (See:

Thanks for the effort! That looks good to me, except maybe that in my view the 
real issue about graduation is the activity. Adding more requirements will only 
raise up the bar for graduation.

RE: draft of ASF board report

2013-09-02 Thread FPJ
I'm not sure we are on the same page. We have had a couple of threads now about 
graduation and the threads started with someone from the IPMC asking us about 
it. Given that we haven't been able to conclude what to do with respect to 
graduation (that's my conclusion out of the message threads), I would suggest 
we explain it in the report. To perhaps rephrase what I already  said, activity 
has been low but we got some developers standing up and stating they would keep 
the project going. Given that there is some revived interest, I suggest we keep 
the project alive and see how it evolves during the next 3 months. I think all 
this should figure in the report.

I'm also fine to have Joe as a mentor if he is interested. Do we need to have a 
PPMC vote for this?

About the status page, it is our page. We should look into updating it. I 
remember having some discussion about updating it, but I can't recall what 
happened.

About the podling name, we have created a jira a while back and it is not 
resolved yet:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-10

About a new committer, we voted Daniel Gómez Ferro a committer. It is in one of 
the quarterly reports I have sent previously.

Re: draft of ASF board report

2013-09-01 Thread Oleg Tikhonov
Thanks, valuable feedbacks are, indeed.

@Flavio - agree with Joe, it's not about graduation, it's about inactivity.
Fortunately, the S4 community was & is biting & kicking.
On the other hand, it's my personal opinion, any "project in incubator"
must tend to be TLP.

About mentoring - Good mentor is worth for the project, and for sure he/she
should be responsive. If Joe would like to step up as a mentor - so be it,
IMO.

@Joe
"Note that the community has also been failing to keep the incubator status
page up to date. The last status report listed was from 2012, but
there have been status reports since. IIRC, someone has been added as a
committer, but is not listed yet under project info. The last release
(0.6.0) is not listed on the incubator status page either."

Who can fix that? Or how to fix it?

>Has the podling name search been completed?
May be open the JIRA for the issue? Definitely we should accomplish the
task ASAP.

Kind regards,

Oleg

I think the primary issue here is not graduation, per se, it's the
inactivity. It doesn't seem to me there's much going on in the S4
community. In March, the dev mailing list was reasonably busy (132
messages) and then that's dwindled to less than 35 per month since
March. 

There was no activity in git on August at all. A little in July, more in
June. 

*If* there's enough interest on the community side to keep the project
going, then I'd be happy to step up as a mentor. Right now, I'm very
concerned that the project lacks a diverse/large enough community to
remain healthy. 

Note that the community has also been failing to keep the incubator
status page up to date. The last status report listed was from 2012, but
there have been status reports since. IIRC, someone has been added as a
committer, but is not listed yet under project info. The last release
(0.6.0) is not listed on the incubator status page either. 

Also: Has the podling name search been completed? I saw that referenced
on another report, and it's still listed as needed on the status page.
This needs to be completed if it hasn't been.

It looks to me like the community has actually shrunk since the last
report, but I could be missing something. 

Would like to see S4 turn this around and grow its community and get
ready to graduate, but I think graduation would be premature at this
point. 

Best,

Re: draft of ASF board report

2013-09-01 Thread Flavio Junqueira
Thanks for putting it together, Oleg. Here are some suggestions for two parts 
of the proposal:

- Any issued the IPMC should be aware of: I would include two things here. 
First, we have been asked about graduation. We haven't been able to conclude 
whether we should graduate or not. One particular problem we have been having 
is with growth of the community. I would say that in a recent e-mail thread, we 
have received very positive feedback from some developers, so we would like to 
remain in incubation for a little longer so that we can get some traction. 
Second, one of our mentors hasn't been responsive, so we need to find another 
mentor.
- Has the community developed since the last report? I would say that we have 
been seeing some traffic on the mailing lists, mostly questions about how to 
use S4, but the code contributions have been fairly minimal. However, some 
developers have expressed interested in contributing so we expect to start 
receiving more contributions in the near future. To grow the community, we plan 
to have a closer interaction with other Apache projects like Gora and Helix.
