Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache SkyWalking Java Agent 8.12.0 released

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

I’ll note this release doesn’t follow ASF policy as it contain 3rd party 
software in the release but this is not mentioned in the LICENSE file. It would 
be best if you corrected this.

Kind Regards,
Justin

Re: A license check tool offered by Apache SkyWalking Community

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

So taking a quick look at a SkyWalking release [1] I can see a couple of minor 
issues with LICNSE and NOTICE. You may want to fix these.

Hints:
Is OpenCensus mentioned in LICENSE?
Does prometheus client_model have a NOTICE file?
Does mavin-wrapper have a NOTICE file?

Also there is a compiled code (a jar) in the source release. Source release 
cannot include compiled code.

Kind Regards,
Justin

Re: [ANNOUNCE] SkyWalking Nginx LUA 0.1.0 test build available

[Justin Mclean]

HI,

> Is there any doc saying, there is only one kind of announcement?

It's used for several things:
- adding new committers, PMC members and chairs
- for releases
- conferences or other important events

for release it has a singular meaning. I don't think it appropriate in this 
case and it may confuse users in thinking it's a release when it is not. 
However I'm not a member of your PMC so that is for them to decide.

Thanks,
Justin

Re: [ANNOUNCE] SkyWalking Nginx LUA 0.1.0 test build available

[Justin Mclean]

HI,

Then why say "This is our Apache release." when it is not an release yet? You 
can only call something a release after you have voted on it, before that is it 
a release candidate. ANNOUNCEMENTS are for releases and occurs after a 
successful VOTE.

What some projects do in this situation is make a release candidate zero (RC0) 
but there is no announcement for it.

Thanks,
Justin

HI,

Before announcing releases you need to VOTE on them [1], where was the vote for 
this release?

Removal of old incubator releases

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

It looks like you have some old incubator releases here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/

We’re cleaning up the release area and it would be great if you can remove 
these old releases.

If for some reason you need to link to an old release you can do so with a link 
to the archive area under here: [1][2]
https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/

Thanks,
Justin

Incubator questionnaire

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

Given you've just graduated, congratulations are in order.

If you could take the time file to fill out this short questionnaire on your 
incubator journey and how you think the incubating process could be improved it 
would be greatly appreciated.

How do you think things could be improved?
https://goo.gl/forms/kDZt3bhCAxj2gfH63

It's your choice if you want to fill this in or not and there are no compulsory 
questions, all feedback is anonymous unless you wish to identify yourself. 
Feedback on the form itself is also welcome. Any feedback received will only be 
shared with the Incubator PMC and be used to make future podlings path through 
the incubator easier.

Thanks,
Justin

P.S I'm not subscribed to this list so please CC me on any replies

Re: New skywalking report draft for board

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

Thank for submitting the report early.

Under "Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?" you list some releases. Is there some concern about the releases 
that the IPMC/board needs to know about?

I'm surprised that the recent graduation thread(s) were not mentioned in the 
report. One of the main issues that need to be addressed in moving towards 
graduation is (IMO) recognising and adding new committers and PPMC members. For 
instance the reports mentions 100 commits by more than 22 contributors in the 
three months, why are these contributors not committers?

The question "Have your mentors been helpful and responsive..." has not been 
answered, if you could answer it that would be helpful.

Thanks,
Justin

Re: Gitbox mail still send to dev mailing list.

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,.

Thanks for your repossess, there's no need for concern. The mailing list shows 
little activity from Willem and that's why he got flagged as a possible missing 
mentor.

I've asked him if he wants to continue as a mentor and he has indicated that he 
has so nothing will change.

Thanks,
Justin
