I have now got all the necessary legal and management clearance from Cray to
move ahead with donating the experimental Hadoop RDF work that we¹ve
previously discussed privately to the Jena project.
I know about it but not what it is I'm very interested in seeing it ...
So I am ready to move
forwards with the IP Clearance process but I¹ve run into a slight snag in
that it appears to require an ASF Member/Officer to actually formally be
responsible for executing the process.
I think in reality this just means that an ASF member has to check that all
the boxes have been appropriately ticked and run the necessary votes once we
reach that stage of the process. As you are an ASF member would you be
willing to do this?

I am happy to do all the leg work, I already have the IP clearance document
ready to commit to the Incubator website and the initial code base ready to
commit to the Experimental area. Once these initial things are committed I
can start working through the remaining steps such as changing the Copyright
Headers, putting together the NOTICE and LICENSE files appropriately etc. I
will also go ahead and file a JIRA for tracking purposes.
Before I start on this I wanted to check that you are OK with acting as the
responsible person for this?
/me off to read up on the process ...
Yes, fine. I have incubator karma to update the IP pages.
Full steam ahead!
Cheers,
Rob
In terms of the destination being the Jena project, this looks like it
is fully aligned to the project charter:
"""
the creation and maintenance of
open-source software related to accessing, storing, querying,
publishing and reasoning with semantic web data while
adhering to relevant W3C and community standards
for distribution at no charge to the public.
"""
and I (personally) am quite relaxed about any variety if there is some
connection to Jena even if it's quite small (e.g. there is at least one
import statement like "org.apache.jena....."!). We can't, in all
honesty, adopt random other unrelated software without at least checking
with other linked data projects in ASF. But at the same time, linked
data @ASF isn't the Hadoop-infrastructure ecosystem where each piece can
sustain it's own TLP.
