Making First Contact

[Mert Kahyaoğlu]

Hello Brooklyn developers,

I would like to introduce myself. I'm Mert Kahyaoğlu from Turkey. I'm a
graduate student studying Bioinformatics at Mugla University. I'm a GSoC
2016 student and would love to attend this year's program as well.

Apache Brooklyn excited me a lot when I first saw it on the project list of
Apache Community. I really would like to work on developing a brand new UI
for Apache Brooklyn because not only I love crafting user interfaces but
also it motivates me to work on a project like Apache Brooklyn which will
have a direct impact on the community and makes people's life a lot easier.

I already started working on the project. I built the application,
investigated the current Brooklyn UI and discovered the REST API endpoints.

Looking forward to working with the Brooklyn community.

Cheers,
Mert

Fwd: checksum file Release Distribution Policy

[Geoff Macartney]

Hello Brooklyn developers,

Forwarding for general interest, note a change in the Apache policy for
checksums as per the email below.  We should update our release make
scripts accordingly before our next release.

Subject: checksum file Release Distribution Policy
To: 


Hi Pmcs,

The Release Distribution Policy[1] changed regarding checksum files.
See under "Cryptographic Signatures and Checksums Requirements" [2].

  MD5-file == a .md5 file
  SHA-file == a .sha1, sha256 or .sha512 file

   Old policy :

  -- MUST provide a MD5-file
  -- SHOULD provide a SHA-file [SHA-512 recommended]

   New policy :

  -- MUST provide a SHA- or MD5-file
  -- SHOULD provide a SHA-file
  -- SHOULD NOT provide a MD5-file

  Providing MD5 checksum files is now discouraged for new releases,
  but still allowed for past releases.

   Why this change :

  -- MD5 is broken for many purposes ; we should move away from it.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5#Overview_of_security_issues

   Impact for PMCs :

  -- for new releases :
 -- please do provide a SHA-file (one or more, if you like)
 -- do NOT provide a MD5-file

  -- for past releases :
 -- you are not required to change anything
 -- for artifacts accompanied by a SHA-file /and/ a MD5-file,
it would be nice if you removed the MD5-file

  -- if, at the moment, you provide MD5-files,
 please adjust your release tooling.

   Please mail me (he...@apache.org) if you have any questions etc.

   FYI :

Many projects are not (entirely, strictly) checksum file compliant.
For an overview/inventory (by project) see :

 https://checker.apache.org/dist/unsummed.html

   At the moment :

  -- no checksum : 176 packages in 28 projects ; non-compliant
  -- only MD5: 495 packages in 44 projects ; update tooling
  -- only SHA: 135 packages in 13 projects ; now comliant

In many cases, only a few (among many) checksum file are missing ;
you may want to fix that.

Hi @geomacy, this PR is for the `website` branch (which uses Jekyll), not 
`master` (which is for the user guide, using gitbook)

hi @rdowner, it looks like your local clone hasn't caught up past Thomas's 
changes to use gitbook.  Can you catch up with the latest master and check your 
changes against the instructions in 
https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-docs/blob/master/guide/start/running.md?
