Alan,
Others are commenting on the infrastructure issues still on the
plate for
ActiveMQ. And, yes, migrating out of JIRA is a PITA. Jeff is
proposing
that we end up running lots of JIRA instances because we have to
pull in
several sets of JIRA imports from atlassian, codehaus, and
elsewhere. I
have no idea when Atlassian will support single project imports
from JIRA as
it does from Bugzilla.
I agree it is important to have as much as possible on apache
hardware. It was my understanding until I read this thread here,
that infrastructure was fine with leaving JIRAs for imported projects
hosted remotely until the JIRA had a better import tool. With the
new possibility that Jeff Turner laid for an import, I think we
should work on having one big import for everything that is moving or
has moved from codehaus. This would let us grab the ActiveMQ,
ServiceMix, OpenEJB, and XBean jiras.
As with the other issues here, this is a NEW possibility that I for
one wasn't even aware existed until John brought it up. I don't
think we should hold this against the AMQ community.
On the community side, we're still a bit shy of Mentors on ActiveMQ
(James
is the only one, and we are looking for at least 3 per project),
and the ASF
community building is only just getting started. No PPMC, yet, for
which we
need more Mentors.
There has been some concern about growth rate within the Incubator.
Requiring 3+ Mentors to help oversee projects puts a natural, but
scalable,
limit on our growth. In the meantime, we have some growing pains,
because
projects are already here, and lack the resources.
I understand this concern and agree with the solution, but we should
remember that AMQ entered the incubator before this was a rule, so I
for one didn't think it appled to them, since they are so close to
graduation. Anyway, I think we can easily get a few more people to
be mentors. I certainly will volunteer, but I don't think I qualify
due to the member restriction.
