Re: Board will be proposing a new TLP
- Original Message - From: Ross Gardler rgard...@opendirective.com To: Mark Struberg strub...@yahoo.de; general general@incubator.apache.org Another question: for which case do you like to use the voting tool? The idea is not to make it more widely used inside the ASF (we all have access to it and know where it is already). The idea is to make it more visible and accessible to external users. Ok, that's a very valid point. Thanks for clarifying! +0.7 for direct TLP (without incubation) +1.0 for TLP (with incubation) LieGrue, strub - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

The board would like to recommend to the Incubator that the board simply proceed with the creation of this project at the next board meeting. Is there already a community in terms of a group of people who drive this forward and who are willing to continue? Or is this a random set of people who will likely go away after creation of the TLP? If there is no community it should go through incubation: the incubator is also about community building. In addition i think the incubator is a good way to initially set up resources. Also you reach other projects: the incubator ml are read by lots of people around apache, maybe you get some more committers from there. That all being said, as the code was developed from ASF people under the license and on ASF repositories, I have no problem with giving a +1 for direct tlp creation.

Re: Board will be proposing a new TLP
Incubation is unnecessary process in this case. I don't see any reason this should go through incubation. --tim On Saturday, June 30, 2012, Jim Jagielski wrote: For those not following board@, the board is proposing the creation of a new TLP (tentatively called Apache Steve) which will serve as the project behind our STV and voting tools.

I'm going on vacation on Friday, so I'll send a summary on Thursday. I'll be away for 10 days, so I won't be available to act on a decision to retire the podling.

Maybe could be better being more prominent, but its under Project Documentation: http://incubator.apache.org/directmemory/project-info.html Sure enough. My mail to the dev list was more carefully written; it seems to me that every project should have a 'how to get involved' link really visible from the front page that includes the mailing list. I'm not trying to make a to-do about this. http://incubator.apache.org/directmemory/project-info.html Mesos is another example of 'no added committers'. Same question. DirectMemory lacks only a release to be green across the launch control board.

While I agree that it does not make sense to vet the initial set of project members and I'm sure that the code provenance is clean, I had always thought that a big part of the incubation process was to make sure that there's a vibrant community behind it. I feel that I as a mentor I am placed in an awkward place as I put pressure on those podlings that do not have much community activity and now a bunch of board members expedite their project to a TLP. I hope that someone can help me understand the current thinking about the vibrant community aspect that seems to be a requirement for incubation/TLP admission. With that said, I am against accelerating this project directly into a TLP.

VXQuery Mentors
Hi Jukka, We had started a vote (on 05/26/2012) to bring on board a new committer (Preston Carman) who has been submitting high-quality patches. While the vote got +1s from all the current VXQuery committers (four of us), we have not heard from any of our mentors. So the vote itself is stuck. I am not sure what we should do at this time. Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks, Vinayak - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
Incubator PMC/Board report for Jul 2012 ([ppmc])
Dear podling, This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator PMC. It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly board report. The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 18 July 2012, 10:00:00 PST. The report for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator PMC requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to allow sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, Jul 4th). Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC, and subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting. Thanks, The Apache Incubator PMC Submitting your Report -- Your report should contain the following: * Your project name * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the project or necessarily of its field * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation. * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of * How has the community developed since the last report * How has the project developed since the last report. This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/July2012 Note: This manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page is created from a template. Mentors --- Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator PMC.
