Re: [PROPOSAL] Stonehenge

2008-11-05 Thread Paul Fremantle
Robert

 sounds like a worthwhile initiative
Thanks for the feedback!

 i like the idea but i do wonder a little whether the practical scope
 of the project needs some more rounding out

I agree it would make sense to help tie down what would make this a
successful project, release, etc.
Any thoughts on how to make this more concrete?

 AFAICT (hopefully the committers will jump in and correct any
 misunderstandings) the project seems likely to consist of independent
 products, each (ideally) corresponding to a suite of applications
 target described by a sort-of-specification.

Yes.

 the scope's really pretty broad so i think a little more detail about
 scaling out would be useful: how would stonehenge approach adding new
 suites especially when donated from outside the developers group?

I guess I imagined that there would be two approaches. One is that
someone might develop this outside of Stonehenge and then do a grant.
However, I would expect a more likely approach is that someone would
contribute via the normal JIRA / patch process. Do you see any issues
with either of these?

Thanks
Paul

Enterprise Social Messaging Experiment (ESME) is a secure and highly

to discover and meet one another and get controlled access to other 
sources of information, all in a business process context. ESME is 
written in Scala and uses the Lift web framework.


I've been looking at Scala and Lift while I was searching ways to apply 
Erlang's lightweight process approach to Java. So this is a very cool 
proposal and I'm willing to help as a mentor, so that it can finally 
force me to get my hands dirty on Scala!


However, this proposal could be made way more interesting and 
potentially disrupting if it were to include the Lift framework itself, 
and also consider not only enterprise micro-blogging, but also open 
federated microblogging [1] that was initiated by Identi.ca [2].


Micro blogging has become part of the daily activity of many people, and 
a scalable open source solution to run federated microblogging would be 
really nice, rather than wondering when will be Twitter's next downtime ;-)

I actually expect that the way a true community will form around this 
project is when the next application is something that is born out of 
Stonehenge itself .. that is, someone proposes an idea and then we discuss 
it, refine it, develop an architecture, document it and implement it in 17 
different ways. In that case there could be external contribs and 
JIRA/patch contribs too but most would be by project committers directly 
writing the code.

ESME will support a variety of standard-ish APIs including Twitter's APIs,

It's not just about hosting, but about getting more exposure to grow a 
larger community, which could be beneficial not only for Lift, but also 
more generally for Scala.

Fwd: [VOTE] Release Apache UIMACPP-2.2.2-incubating

2008-11-05 Thread Eddie Epstein
Hi,

The UIMA-CPP 2.2.2-incubating release, which is the first release of
the part of UIMA that supports C++ components, is waiting for a couple
of more IPMC votes to approve its release.  The original email to this
list (attached below and also here:
http://markmail.org/message/meropdoa4vmsmeut) asking for review and
voting is dated Sept 16, so it's been awhile.  Could a couple of other
IPMC members please vote on this release?

Thanks,
Eddie

 Hi Everyone,

 Please review and vote on approving the first release of Apache UIMACPP, the 
 C++ version of the UIMA framework. The release artifacts and the annotated 
 RAT reports can be found here: 
 http://people.apache.org/~eae/uimacpp-release-candidates/2.2.2/03/

 UIMACPP makes it easy to create UIMA-compliant component from C++ analytics. 
 This is extremely important for multimodal analytics such as speech-to-text, 
 machine translation, image analysis, and many others.

 As a C++ library, UIMACPP also enables creating UIMA compliant components in 
 other programming languages which easily link to C++. Included in this 
 release is support for Perl, Python and Tcl via a common SWIG wrapper.

 UIMACPP utilizes several other Apache projects: APR, Xerces-c and 
 ActiveMQ-CPP. Another, and final dependency, is ICU4C from icu-project.org.

 An official release of UIMACPP was delayed until a mechanism was in place to 
 run C++ analytics as native processes; UIMA-AS has finally provided that 
 mechanism. Previously, UIMACPP analytics had to be run under a JVM process 
 through the JNI, which put many restrictions on operability.

 The UIMA project dev-list vote to release UIMACPP was 6 +1's, and no other 
 votes; see the vote here: http://markmail.org/message/dmf2wk6zzq7dlsft

 Many thanks for your support,
 Eddie Epstein

Thanks for pointing t out David.

 
  What we need is someone in the incubator group to add the directory.   
  I _think_ all Incubator committers can be in that group, judging by  
  the people who are already in that group.  Maybe that's just an INFRA  
  request?
 
 I just added the droids directory.

Thanks very much I just deployed the documentation.

Qpid Graduation - for top level (resolution)

2008-11-05 Thread Carl Trieloff


It is with the support of our mentors and a community vote on our dev 
list that Qpid would
like to proceed to graduation. In our last graduation vote the incubator 
PMC felt that the
Qpid project should increase its diversity. Over the intervening months 
Qpid has added
more independents to the project  PPMC, bringing the diversity to 7 
legally
independent parties (not counting those mentors who will stay on to help 
advise).
Qpid also continues to attract more contributors, so the committer pool 
and diversity

should continue to expand as contributors are voted in as committers.

Qpid has also made an additional release since the last graduation 
attempt and is currently

working through close down of the next release.

Attached is the graduation resolution, which was critiqued (/bashed :-) 
on the general list

on our last graduation attempt with updated would be PMC...

Please review our resolution, and provide any feedback or questions 
before a vote is started

on the general list to graduate Qpid as a top level project

many thanks.
