  Well, BootFlat is a bit different to Apache Flex.  It appears to be
 owned

  BootFlat because the MIT License allows that, but it will be more work
 to
  donate it to Apache Flex.  We'll probably have to check with Apache

Hi,

 Does Apache still have interest in using FlatSpark?

There are PMC and committers who can help out and it looks like user want it, 
so while I can't speak for all of Apache, I'd say the answer is yes.

Thanks,
Justin

I believe we are still interested.  Can you re-cap what you would plan to
donate?  Is it still derived from BootFlat?

I have just completed processing the donation of Radii8 from Judah
Frangipane.  I think I now have cycles to work with you on this donation
if you want my assistance.  (You don't have to pick me, there's plenty of
documentation and other folks who might be interested in helping).  Either
way, I think the next steps are:

1) Review the files you plan to donate to determine their provenance
(essentially, who is the owner and what licenses might apply).  Apache can
only accept certain licenses.  If you have questions, ask on the mailing
list, but feel free to ask me off-list in case names of people come up or
some mis-handling of IP is discovered.  It doesn't have to be thorough or
exacting: you don't have to go through every file, but we want to make
sure the important ones have a good chance of getting through the process.
2) Once it looks like there aren't any blockers, there has to be a formal
vote.  Of course, if someone comes up with an objection on this thread,
that might end the discussion right there.
3) Once the vote results come out in favor, then you will have to fill out
certain forms which may involve getting signatures from people with
authority to sign contracts.  For example, at Adobe, I have to get a VP to
sign the grant form.  One of the forms requires some description of the
files so this is when you do have to scrub every file to make sure every
file you plan to donate has, to the best of your knowledge, a provenance
that is acceptable to Apache.
4) Once the forms and files are ready, the signed forms get submitted to
Apache.  Once recorded, someone, usually me, prepares another form that
another group at Apache called the Incubator reviews along with the files.
 In preparation for this review, the files get scrubbed again, this time
with an eye towards how Apache handles source files.  Sometimes, certain
files will need to be removed or modified.  Finally, once the review
determines there are no further issues, the code will land in an Apache
repo.

Re: [FlexJS] Designers needed for default theme

I would like to donate the entire source code.
It is actually based on FlatUI, which is open-source but under CC 3.0 and
MIT License. While it is not a fork, all the color schemes are based on
this. (https://github.com/designmodo/Flat-UI)

We had planned a version of BootFlat but other things got in the way and we
ended up not doing much progress. I remember that some people showed more
interest in the BootFlat skin, so if you decide BootFlat should be the
default skin, it would take a few weeks to get it ready.

Regarding FlatSpark, there are some custom components we made, like
ButtonIcon, TextInputIcon and ToggleSwitch, would this be donated too,
since they are not official SDK implementations?
I'm asking this because I remember that some custom components used some
examples from the internet (which I think could be a problem when
donating), so if there is no interest in them, it will make the first step
easier.

Hi Mahmoud,

Let me see if I understand:

Was Flat-UI written by some other group of people, maybe a group called
DesignModo, and you are not affiliated with them?

Did you just write new source code to implement their visuals?

Does your source code have dependencies on BootStrap?

Is your code written in ActionScript, JavaScript or both?

IMO, it would be better to not donate new components that might have a
complicated history.  You can probably donate or re-create those later
with a much simpler process.

Thanks,

FlatUI is written by DesignModo, and I am not affiliated with them.

I wrote new source code to implement their visuals, withouth copying it
from their source code.

FlatSpark does not have any dependency on Bootstrap.

All the code is just ActionScript + some CSS.

Donating just the skins might be a simpler process then.

Thanks.

Re: [FlexJS] Designers needed for default theme

2014-09-02 Thread Justin Mclean
Hi,

Just had a quick look and it looks like it would be reasonably easy to donate, 
and IMO the zip from github is probably in good enough form to be the donation. 
A few files would need to be removed from it for the final grant.

Here's what I can see:
- The original inspiration is under CC/MIT so that's fine. As far as I can tell 
no code was copied or modified. May be polite to add an addition to LICENSE 
file after donation.
- The code is already Apache licensed
- Code is missing Apache headers but that can be done after donation
- A few compiled swf examples and expressInstall.swf would need to be removed, 
again that can be done after donation
- There's no images or other binaries that would cause any copyright issues
- Both of the fonts you use (FontAwesome and Lato) are licensed under SIL OFL 
(Category B) After donation a small  modification to the LICENSE would be 
required I think.

Re the examples ButtonIcon, TextInputIcon and ToggleSwitch do you know were the 
original code came from? Depending on how that's licensed an how much you have 
modified this these file may or may be able to be accepted by Apache. Either 
way I'm sure it's something that can be worked out.

ButtonIcon and TextInputIcon were implemented based on Button and

ToogleSwitch was implemented based on the example from this post:

There is a reference to it in the code header, but there is no license
notice in the example itself. I tried to contact the author about this,
still no answer.
I made some modifications to ToggleSwitch, as there was a bug in the
original example which I fixed for FlatSpark. I think this file might be

OK.  Sounds like the code is in good shape although it might be better to
leave ToggleSwitch behind for now.

In skimming older parts of this thread, looks like there might be some
difference in opinion on FlatSpark vs BootFlat.  I'll start a DISCUSS
thread to try to sort that out before we run a VOTE.

Re: [FlexJS] Designers needed for default theme

2014-05-23 Thread Alex Harui
Hi Mahmoud,

Thanks for your interest in donating FlatSpark to Apache Flex.

This is a legal/policy point for you to consider.  If FlatSpark or
BootFlat is approved as the default FlexJS theme, we will want the
'source' to be donated.  The donation process requires that all
contributors give permission to donate, and that the work is licensed
under Apache License.

As you can imagine, this means a bit more work and paperwork for BootFlat,
but even for FlatSpark, you will need decent documentation of who the
contributors are.  It can get a bit tricky for GitHub and other socially
coded projects because if you took pull requests you will need to track
those folks down and get their permission if they haven't already signed
some document giving up their rights.

It sounds like a hassle, and it sort of is, but we will help you through
it if/when it becomes necessary to execute this process.

Thanks,
-Alex

Yes, it is bureaucratic.  Another question is whether you and akamud truly
have ownership.  Often, work done for a client is owned by the client.
And if one or both of you also work for a corporation or other business
entity, that entity might actually have ownership.

But until we choose your work as the default theme of FlexJS and want to
get the source in the Apache Flex repo, it doesn't matter.  Until then,
and even after, folks can go use your theme where you have it posted now.

I hear you.  I debated whether to start the bureaucratic stuff this early
and decided that it would be good to give them a heads up so there isn't a
delay in getting it donated should we choose them as the default FlexJS
theme, and also to ward off disappointment caused by getting all of us
excited about a new theme only to find that it can't be donated.

If this theme is entirely written by two people who are independent from
client or corporate ownership claims then the donation process should be
quite simple.

Good news then, it is created by the two of us, no corporations involved.
The BootFlat we will begin this weekend will follow the same pattern. It

Well, BootFlat is a bit different to Apache Flex.  It appears to be owned
by a corporation.  You are free to create your own Flex version of
BootFlat because the MIT License allows that, but it will be more work to
donate it to Apache Flex.  We'll probably have to check with Apache Legal
as to the rules around that.  But that's moot until we decide we want to
use BootFlat as the default.

Re: [FlexJS] Designers needed for default theme

2014-05-21 Thread Eric
As someone who absolutely hated Spark when it came out, that FlatSpark 
theme is entirely different (MUCH better).  Hopefully the author will 
donate it.


And not to be a party pooper, but I recommend a little consideration 
before committing resources to a contest.  If it could possibly delay 
the first real release of FlexJS (or slow other important work), that 
puts a contest in a different light.  I could be thinking about this 
wrong, but I feel there should be a sense of urgency getting a 
production-ready version out there so this SDK can start growing at a 
much faster pace.

I agree.  We first need a theme spec to figure out how to skin in FlexJS
before trying to get the best skin possible for a first release.  For that,
I don't think we need a contest.

Thanks,

 Lot of Flex themes out there.


 If we are planning to go with FlatSpark theme, though it comes under
 Apache, I feel it would be a good gesture if we contact and get a nod
 from
 the owner. I'm sure he\she would appreciate it.

 It has been released under the Apache License, which means it's OK for

 us

 to use if we chose to, isn't it?

 Hi,

 So far, we've been using developer art for FlexJS examples.

 Several

 folks at 360|Flex agreed that it would be good to have a new theme

 for

 FlexJS.  It should not be Spark or MX revisited.  If anybody has

 design

 skills and wants to offer up a default look for a button, checkbox,

 radio

 button, text input, date field, etc, please post an Illustrator

 file

 for

 review.  Like we did for the new Apache Flex logo, we'll have

 discussion

 and a vote.  It won't directly make you richer, but at least you'll

 have

 bragging rights.

 Thanks in advance,
 -Alex

2014-05-21 Thread Alex Harui
The discussion that led up to this contest was about the fact that the
current alpha releases of FlexJS are so ugly it might also be a barrier to
adoption.  But yes, we don't want the contest to delay important work.
