 Is this a similar session, like we did in Austin? Or a *general*
 session on the Apache Incubator?

 (there is no link available on the website, therefore the mail...)

It's a general session, similar to one I gave at OSCON last year.  The
intention is to share lessons learned from the Incubator as well as
introduce the general policies of ASF Incubation.

I did like the Incubator Lightening Talks at Austin though.  It'd be
nice to see them again.

 IMHO we need to alter the process so that we have an explicit audit

IMHO the current process is fine but needs to be documented better.


i agree that we need better documentation but i'm really not getting
the cycles ATM. i'd hoped that other people would step up and push it
forward since this is vital work.


Podlings should be encouraged to release stuff that they think is
usable outside their small world of developers who check out from svn
and build from source. The incubator is set up to review and approve
releases without passing judgement on the usability, just the
legality.


i've been approaching this problem from the wrong perspective

most critical issues i encounter are issues with source. the source
can be checked at any time. potential issues with source should be
addressed as soon as possible. (and yes, i know henri arrived here
long before me.)

the best approach would be to run RAT on the trunks of all incubating
podlings. unfortunately this means finding the cycles to add the
required features to RAT and i'm likely to be very short of energy in
the next few months :-/

 RCF, a rich component library for JSF
 =
 
 Abstract
 --
 
 RCF is a rich (Ajax-style) component set for the JavaServer Faces(tm)
 1.2 technology. .
 
 Proposal
 
 
 RCF is an Ajax-based component library for the JavaServer Faces
 technology. RCF comes with very high quality components, and skinning
 (CSS-based) capabilities. RCF features include: file upload support,
 client-side conversion and validation, a complete Ajax-integration,
 data tables, hierarchical tables, color/date pickers, menu
 tabs/buttons, wizards, popups, toolbars, toolboxes,
 internationalization and accessibility. This project starts with more
 than 100 components which have already been documented and thoroughly
 tested.
 
 RCF stands for Rich Client Framework and it means that web
 applications, using this component set look very similar to a real,
 native desktop application. The name for this project can be a subject
 to change.
 
 RCF depends on some artifacts, provided by the Apache Trinidad
 project, such as framework features or Apache Maven plug-ins.
 
 
 Background
 --
 
 The development of RCF started in 2005 at Oracle Corporation. With the
 advent of Ajax and requirements for highly interactive rich user
 experience, Oracle decided to implement a rich/Ajax-style JSF
 component set. The goal was to advance the already existing ADF Faces
 product, donated to the ASF in early 2006 (Apache Trinidad). When the
 development of RCF started, there wasn't any JSF component set that
 provided similar richness to the user. The RCF components run on any
 JSF 1.2 compliant implementation. RCF is based on some internal
 features of the Apache Trinidad project.
 
 The JavaServer Faces technology is a key technology for the
 RCF component set, since RCF requires JSF as its runtime environment.
 Oracle has a large commitment to both open source and open standards.
 This proposal illustrates Oracle's commitment to the success of the
 JSF standard and supporting the open source community by providing a
 rich component set under a liberal license, the Apache 2.0 license.
 
 Rationale
 -
 
 The project is interested in moving to Apache for the following
 reasons: To provide Apache-licensed implementation of a full-blown
 Ajax-based JSF component set, to become better integrated with the
 MyFaces and Shale initiatives, and to build a strong vendor-neutral
 community that will outlast any one person's or company's
 participation.
 
 Initial Goals
 -
 
 The initial goals of the proposed project are:
 
   * Viable community around the RCF code base
   * Active relationships and possible cooperation with related projects
 and communities, such as Apache MyFaces (and its subprojects) or
 Apache Trinidad.
 
 Current Status
 ==
 
 Meritocracy
 ---
 
 All the initial committers are familiar with the meritocracy
 principles of Apache, and have already worked on the various source
 code bases. Some of the initial committers also have experience,
 undergoing the Apache incubation process. We will follow the normal
 meritocracy rules also with other potential contributors.
 
 Community
 -
 
 The Apache MyFaces project, the Apache Trinidad podling and the
 JavaServer Faces standard hold great promise. A fully Ajax-based set
 of user interface components will significantly accelerate their
 adoption. We strongly believe that RCF will gather significant
 momentum and enough developers to build a vibrant community of users
 and contributors.

Same here. I assumed this myself, however I am beginning to think that this

it's at google code since i didn't think that there'd be enough

and what features are missing?


the minimum to run a check would be:

1 read detached audit data and feed that into the pipe
2 add analytics to the end of the pipe to produce a global pass or fail
3 hack together some gump-style continuous integration to run for
every incubator project
4 for each podling, analyse the results and present a list of
questions. use the answers to create meta-data.
5 hack together some scripts to email reports to lists

when put together this way, it looks reasonably doable :-)

there are lots of good-to-haves but this would get us started. once
it's up and running, the improved checks and graphical reports could
be added as time permits.

The Apache UIMA community has voted to release
org.apache.uima.desceditor.2.1.0.incubating-hotfix-1.zip .
We would now like to ask the Incubator PMC to
approve this hotfix release.

This release consists of 1 zip file containing a replacement for one 
of the
Eclipse plugins included in the current release, that corrects several 
problems

documented in the Jira issue
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-364. This is a temporary fix 
until we do our next full release.


This artifact was built from the SVN branch used for the 2.1.0 
release, already out.
It includes no other changes from the main trunk.  Besides the code 
changes needed for

Jira issue UIMA-364, the only other changes that were done were

   1) to modify the MANIFEST and Maven pom files to give the
   created artifact a new name appending the hotfix-1 string.

   2) to modify the build for this zip to include the LICENSE,
   DISCLAIMER, and NOTICES
   file that are normally packaged with the top level zip file of the
   whole distribution,

   3) to add a README-HOTFIX-1 file describing how to apply this fix,
   to the zip.


The intent is to put this hot-fix package with the same instructions 
as in the README-HOTFIX-1

on our download site, if this is approved.

This is a temporary fix until we do our next full release.

The artifact is located in
http://people.apache.org/~schor/org.apache.uima.desceditor.2.1.0.incubating-hotfix-1.zip; 


this is a binary deployable object usable by UIMA users directly,
after unzipping into the Eclipse plugins directory.

The release was signed by Marshall I Schor, acting as the release 
manager for this hot fix. His public key is available here:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/uimaj/trunk/uimaj-distr/src/main/readme/KEYS 


as well as at the MIT public key repository http://pgp.mit.edu/ .
The detached signatures are located here: 
http://people.apache.org/~schor/ http://people.apache.org/%7Eschor/


The changes for this hotfix are confined to only of one Eclipse Plugin 
project;

this project (uimaj-ep-configurator) was tagged in SVN:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/uimaj/tags/uimaj-ep-configurator-2.1.0-hotfix-1-RC1/uimaj-ep-configurator 



Here is a link to our vote thread on the uima-dev list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/uima-dev@incubator.apache.org/msg02705.html

We've not run the RAT utility because the changes involved only minor 
code updates in
one module.  For reference (if needed) the previous reports for 
version 2.1.0-incubating, along with our

own comments, are posted here:

potentially problematic since it's a family of licenses some of which

minor issues

(more judgement calls these ones)

src/release.sh looks to me like it's creative enough to need a header

IMHO many of the examples in src/main/java/wicket/examples are
creative enough to deserve a license header. it's reasonably common
for people to derive works from examples so licensing is important.

comments


in general the MANIFEST.MF could be improved: missing the attributes
recommended by sun. not particularly important (adhering to the
standard doesn't really do any tangible good) but looks professional
and easy to do with maven.

i'd recommend creating release notes (but i hope that these are
missing since this is only an audit release). usual comments about
using the same content for announcements to appropriate mailing lists
([EMAIL PROTECTED] is on topic but remember to subscribe first;
best practice to sign these announcements) and download link page.

BTW i see the current namespace is http://wicket.sourceforge.net/. do
you plan to change this upon (sometime)?

At least 3 of these are binding votes (Noels, Ken's and Robert's), the
others I think are also binding.


indeed all are binding :-)

see http://incubator.apache.org/whoweare.html (but Niclas has only
recently been added and the list needs regenerating)

i've always assumed that every mentor needed to be a member but IMHO
we should really consider what the rule should be and then vote to
amend the policy appropriately.


At one time, there was only one mentor, and now there are three, and
the discrepancy probably crept in during that state change.

For mentors, I'd suggest every Mentor be a ASF Member or a iPMC
Member. Nearly all iPMC members are ASF members anyway, and any who
are not are probably should be.
