Hi Jim,
+1 to graduate, and great work pushing this along so far. +1 for
Brock to be VP.
I'd consider being extra inclusive as far as anyone that's been a mentor or
PPMC member to date. I would include all mentors as the resolution won't likely
pass unless there are some senior ASF peeps on it. I would at least leave
Patrick
(the project's Champion), and also consider adding Nige since he was a big
supporter
of the project. At the ASF, merit doesn't expire, and if they've contributed
ever, they are
strong members of the community whether they are actively contributing or not.
Life
happens, so it's understandable peeps may drift from direct activity from time
to time.
So, net effect, I'd add Patrick and Nige to the resolution. That being
said...(and you're
going to say, hey, what the heck, he just got off his soap box about being
extra inclusive,
and...) I've got enough projects on my plate and am super happy with the way
that
the MRUnit community has grown and I've felt I've helped in my mentor role to
date
and been useful *but*, I'd humbly request that you don't include me in the
resolution.
Great job and I wish you guys the best. I'll hang around on the mailing list
and help
where I can going forward, but no need to be on another committee for me.
So here's my proposed list:
* Brock Noland [email protected]
* Eric Sammer [email protected]
* Aaron Kimball [email protected]
* Konstantin Boudnik [email protected]
* Garrett Wu [email protected]
* Jim Donofrio [email protected]
* Jarek Jarcec Cecho [email protected]
* Patrick Hunt [email protected]
* Nigel Daley [email protected]
Cheers,
Chris

Hi,
This looks good me! Also, thank you for the honor of suggesting
myself as VP! :)
I would think that the committers mentioned on this page
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mrunit.html would also be in the
list? Many of them have been active, if not on JIRA, recently.

In our last incubator report [1] the 3 blockers were:
* Grow the community size and diversity
* Make another incubating release
* Construct an MRUnit website to replace the existing stub
We have since:
* Added a new committer
* 0.9.0-incubating will get released in the next few days
* We have a new website
From the beginning of incubation we have:
* Added 3 new committers/PPMC members
* Done 4 releases once 0.9.0-incubating is released
* Created a real website
I think it is time to draft a proposal. Once we get consensus we can start a
VOTE thread within the PPMC.
If all goes well then we can start a DISCUSS thread on general@incubator and
eventually a VOTE thread there.
Here is the proposal I came up with. As Chris suggested below I am also +1
on making Brock VP. I started the initial PMC list
with the current 3 active committers, I wasnt sure who of the mentors and
previous Hadoop committers want to also be part of the PMC.
The proposal is just the canned one from [2] except I replaced MRUnit for
${Project} and put in Brock for VP along with the PMC members.
I guess besides the initial PMC list the only part to think about is the
${DESCRIPTION-AND-SCOPE} which I set to be: unit testing Apache Hadoop map
reduce jobs .

Hi Jim,

I updated the status page at
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mrunit.html and rebuilt the Clutch
with news, most up to date committer list, and links to all of our
status reports.
Is improving the website the only holdup to graduation to a TLP at this
point or is that even necessary? What are the next steps after that?
There has been a large uptick in interest in the project over the last
month or so and I think graduation would only help to continue this.
I agree. I think website branding and improvement is something that's
pretty important,
especially considering some of the recent discussions around Thrift which
graduated
from the Incubator a while ago, but hadn't really done a lot of work to
reflect branding
on its website. I think we need to spruce it up. It's not a blocker, but
it's a "good thing"
to do IMHO.
Over the last month or so we have gotten 2 useful patches from 2
independent contributors in MRUNIT-68 and MRUNIT-91, several new JIRA's
added from 3 independent reporters in MRUNIT-91, 88, 70, and a tutorial
on our wiki from another independent contributor.
Yep I think we're pretty much there. To really start the discussion, I'd
recommend
checking out some existing TLPs which recently graduate, and their
graduation
resolution, e.g., here's some discussion around Lucy's:
http://s.apache.org/o2
Besides the resolution, we'd need to:
1. Hold a community VOTE on lucy-dev@ (I'd recommend drafting the
resolution there
first).
2. Hold a VOTE on general@incubator with the IPMC (they are the ones
making
the recommendation to the board)
3. Add the resolution to the board agenda for its next meeting, which
would be sometime
in April.
A precursor to #1 is deciding who would be the most likely candidate for
MRUnit VP. I
think Brock would make a good VP for the project, based on the work and
effort he's
put in so far, and his willingness to be part of the Apache process and to
help prepare
the existing reports.
That being said, it would be great to target the April or May board
meeting for graduation,
but I think that's plenty of time to at least build a minimal website for
the MRUnit project
that complies with Apache branding requirements. It doesn't have to be
flashy, but should
at least comply with branding.
My 2c.
Cheers,
Chris
