You'll need new mentors to help you through the rest of the incubation process.

I notice one of your committers, Cezar Andrei, is an ASF member and
the PMC chair of XMLBeans, so if he's interested I think he'd be a
great candidate to take over at least some of the mentor tasks.

Anyone else interested in helping VXQuery?

 As I write this there is a Release VOTE starting on the any23-dev ML.

Sounds great! Assuming they get the release out, what's the feeling on
their status in terms of other graduation criteria? Are they ready to
start preparing for graduation, or is more community building still
needed?

 EasyAnt -
 There has been very little activity all this year. Only one committer active. 
 This
 email[1] points out the community's difficulty with the loss of a key part of 
 the
 codebase requiring a refactoring that no one has quite found the time to 
 finish.
 Hope has been expressed that recent commit activity might be showing a
 startup in activity. A look at the archive shows very early promise but only
 sporadic activity after the first few months.

 Retirement to Attic, to Ant, to Ivy? Another month? What more activity
 would the IPMC ask for?

I'd like to see the community come up with a concrete graduation plan,
one that either targets becoming a subproject of Ant or Ivy, or
outlines how the community expects to grow to a more sustainable level
of activity and diversity. If such a plan or other increase in
activity is not forthcoming, we'll need to consider retiring the
project.

Eric claims five new contributors submitting patches since April and I only 
count 3 people submitting 4 patches.  The patches are non-trivial.

So the idea is to give the contributors committership and hope things take off? 
 Eric does want to make one more release.  Maybe that will churn some 
enthusiasm.  Eric is very tenacious about keeping it open and he is very timely 
with the mailing list discussions and submitted patches.

I'm inclined to give it another shot but I'm wondering what criteria do we use

Seems like a good idea to me, especially if Chukwa hasn't tried doing
that before.

 enthusiasm.
 Eric is very tenacious about keeping it open and he is very timely with the 
 mailing
 list discussions and submitted patches.

Not sure if it's the case here (I don't follow Chukwa in detail), but
I know some projects where a highly active lead developer has actually
held back the community even though he had all the best intentions in
mind. Instead of directly jumping in and fixing issues that people
encounter, it's often a better long-term idea to help them come up
with a solution themselves. That approach obviously doesn't work with
all users, but with some such empowerment can be highly rewarding.
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. [*]

 I'm inclined to give it another shot but I'm wondering what criteria do we use
 to decide that we've done all we've can.

I guess the best criteria is when people run out of ideas or the
energy to implement them.

Basically incubation of a project makes sense for as long as there's
ongoing progress towards graduation. Once progress is no longer being
made, it's time for a podling to exit the Incubator in one way or
another.

+1

Supplying an elaborate recipe for fixing a bug or implementing a feature and
actively soliciting a patch can be more effective at engaging a
potential contributor
than committing it yourself.  Basically, give them 75% of the patch but then
leave them hanging so that they have to take action to get their concern
addressed.

Not everyone wants to be a core contributor, so things won't always work out.
And if you think the feature or bug fix is important, at some point you have to
give up on the recruitment effort and just finish it yourself. But
it's worthwhile to
hold off for a few weeks if you can.

 My hope is that we find a way to host the Allura issue tracker here,
 but failing that we will need to ensure that it is unambiguously clear
 to anybody that finds their way to that page that the issue tracker is
 managed on behalf of the Apache Allura (incubating) project.

 I don't believe that the following page currently does that:

 http://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/


I've added text on that page to clearly state that now.  We (SourceForge)
also have tickets in there regarding non-Allura work that our team works
on.  When we move the tickets to an apache-hosted allura instance, we'll
need to separate them.

Le 3 juil. 2012 à 11:49, Jukka Zitting a écrit :

 EasyAnt -
 There has been very little activity all this year. Only one committer 
 active. This
 email[1] points out the community's difficulty with the loss of a key part 
 of the
 codebase requiring a refactoring that no one has quite found the time to 
 finish.
 Hope has been expressed that recent commit activity might be showing a
 startup in activity. A look at the archive shows very early promise but only
 sporadic activity after the first few months.
 
 Retirement to Attic, to Ant, to Ivy? Another month? What more activity
 would the IPMC ask for?
 
 I'd like to see the community come up with a concrete graduation plan,
 one that either targets becoming a subproject of Ant or Ivy, or
 outlines how the community expects to grow to a more sustainable level
 of activity and diversity. If such a plan or other increase in
 activity is not forthcoming, we'll need to consider retiring the
 project.

The primary target for Easyant will be being a subproject of Ant. The Ant PMC 
is sponsoring the project [1]. I happen to be on both side, Ant and Easyant. 
And the development on EasyAnt often means patching Ant. So there would not be 
better fit I guess.

We are indeed struggling with being active, we know it is an issue. But we 
still have hope.

cheers,
Nicolas

Is there something that the Incubator can do for EasyAnt that the Ant
PMC can't? If not, I don't see a need to wait for this to happen.

When graduating into an existing TLP, that TLP and its PMC will take
over responsibility over the codebase. The usual Incubator graduation
criteria don't apply as the existing TLP already meets all of them.

At this point, I think it would be fine (and the Tika PMC would be fine) 
with Any23 graduating to its own project but perhaps when there is 
consensus within the Any23 community that graduation is on the 
horizon, then during that DISCUSS thread we could reach out to the
Tika PMC to see if there are any thoughts/objections to that.

Any23 has demonstrated to me most or all of the criteria for graduation
so far:

1. Diverse community
2. Active contributors
3. Friendly, apache communication
4. Willingness to vet the licenses of the software, clean upstream IP
5. Election of new contributors
6. Synergy with other Apache projects

Once the 0.7.0 release is out, I would recommend that the Any23 
community start discussing graduation (and will do so on list post
facto).


 Regarding

 1) Get 0.7.0-incubating release, and more importantly the release

Being an Incubator Shepherd is a new and rotating position that supplements a 
podling's Mentors. Jukka assigns shepherd volunteers to 1 to 3 projects to look 
at each month. What I like about this is the variety that Jukka chooses. So, if 
Any23 is still in the Incubator in 3 months you will have a different Shepherd.

I may take you up on the offer to join the community and if I do it will be as 
someone who is interested in the project and how it fits in a Java stack around 
SOLR, Tika, POI, PDFBox, ODFToolkit(incubating). I guess I'm going to need to 
look into Apache Jackrabbit Oak as well.

 Is there something that the Incubator can do for EasyAnt that the Ant
 PMC can't? If not, I don't see a need to wait for this to happen.

I guess that the incubation process for EasyAnt was about training the people 
attached to the project so they learn how to build a proper ASF community, 
release, and check IP clearance. Since the Ant PMC doesn't contain enough 
active members so handle such project income, this should happen with the help 
of the Incubator.

Re: Shepherding: chukwa, mesos, directmemory

2012-07-03 Thread Ahmed Fathalla
As the most recent person added as a Chukwa committer I think we should
give the project a chance.

I think Chukwa has suffered from a lack of interest in the Hadoop
community, maybe adding more committers would help. I think we need people
who would write articles about Chukwa in technical publications more than
we need people who code.

 Seems like a good idea to me, especially if Chukwa hasn't tried doing
 that before.

  Eric does want to make one more release. Maybe that will churn some
 enthusiasm.
  Eric is very tenacious about keeping it open and he is very timely with
 the mailing
  list discussions and submitted patches.

 Not sure if it's the case here (I don't follow Chukwa in detail), but
 I know some projects where a highly active lead developer has actually
 held back the community even though he had all the best intentions in
 mind. Instead of directly jumping in and fixing issues that people
 encounter, it's often a better long-term idea to help them come up
 with a solution themselves. That approach obviously doesn't work with
 all users, but with some such empowerment can be highly rewarding.
 Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. [*]

  I'm inclined to give it another shot but I'm wondering what criteria do
 we use
  to decide that we've done all we've can.

 I guess the best criteria is when people run out of ideas or the
 energy to implement them.

 Basically incubation of a project makes sense for as long as there's
 ongoing progress towards graduation. Once progress is no longer being
 made, it's time for a podling to exit the Incubator in one way or
 another.

 The primary target for Easyant will be being a subproject of Ant.
 
 Is there something that the Incubator can do for EasyAnt that the Ant
 PMC can't? If not, I don't see a need to wait for this to happen.
 
 I guess that the incubation process for EasyAnt was about training the people 
 attached to the project so they learn how to build a proper ASF community, 
 release, and check IP clearance. Since the Ant PMC doesn't contain enough 
 active members so handle such project income, this should happen with the 
 help of the Incubator.

How has the refactoring due to an expected contributor's unwillingness to sign 
an ICLA effected the project? This issue makes me think that the main purpose 
of going through the incubator was to inoculate the project's IP, not that 
there is anything wrong with that. If it is true that the IP is correct is 
there any reason for the Incubator not to transfer the EasyAnt project to the 
Ant PMC? Does that make sense?

Note I used the term transfer to recognize a different situation or standard 
from graduation to a TLP.

Somehow the IPMC would need to certify the IP in the podling and then the 
target PMC would have to accept the podling.

VOTEs:

(1) PPMC - if it can.
(2) Target PMC - to confirm that it wants the podling's IP.
(3) IPMC - to confirm IP and transfer.
(4) Board - do the bylaws require a fourth vote?

Just a thought.

Regards,
Dave
