These are all solvable questions, but the podling will need to work closely with your mentors and others at the ASF to ensure they're done in a way that still allows the future Apache NetBeans project to operate fully independently of specific corporate influence. http://community.apache.org/projectIndependence.html We don't need to go through the details on this discuss thread, but both *who* will be hosting these specific services as well as *how* they're portrayed to the world will be things the podling needs to track. It needs to be clear that development decisions on the podling are done by the individual committers doing the work on the podling. We also need to ensure that if any external provider decides to drop the service, that we have some way to keep the committer community working on the NetBeans code itself still moving forward. >From how the various NetBeans folks are describing things, this will be complicated, but we should definitely be able to figure it all out during the incubation process. I'm also expecting that it will take work on the image side to show the world that Oracle truly is giving up control to the community, but again, it certainly sounds like you've got the right people here to make that happen. - Shane > > I.e., if Apache is not going to host one or more services currently hosted > by Oracle, and if those services are needed by NetBeans, something will > need to be done to resolve the situation, which will be that the service > will be hosted by someone else.
