Hi,

Great. Please make it available in SVN so that I can review.


Done. The files in SVN are already a little bit further then the source in
the release. So there will probably be some small changes.

 I finally got around to assigning shepherds for this months podling reports:

   Dave Fisher  - Amber
   Jukka Zitting- Ambari, NPanday
   Matt Franklin- Clerezza, PhotArk
   Matt Hogstrom- Crunch, Wink
   Ross Gardler - DeltaSpike
   Benson Margulies - Droids, Wookie
   Roman Shaposhnik - Nuvem

 It would be great if you could review the reports by tomorrow,
 Thursday, so that we can submit the Incubator report on Friday.
 Luckily we don't have too many reports to review this month, so just
 let me know if you won't have time for the reviews and I'm sure we'll
 find a replacement.

 When reviewing, note especially any progress from previous reports:

   Starting: Crunch
   No release: Ambari
   Low activity:  Clerezza, Droids, Nuvem, NPanday
   Low diversity: PhotArk
   Ready to graduate: Amber, DeltaSpike, Wink, Wookie

2012-11-14 Thread Benson Margulies
Droids seems to be a really easy shepherding assignment. They are on
the watch list for low activity, they are self-aware of this, and they
are having a conversation with the commons TLP about perhaps becoming
a component there. I don't know if there is any contribution any of
the rest of us could make to increasing the likelihood of a positive
outcome of that conversation.

 Apache Streams Proposal

 == Abstract ==

 Apache Streams will be a lightweight server for ActivityStreams. The role
 of Apache Streams is to provide a central point of aggregation, filtering
 and querying for Activities that have been submitted by disparate systems.
   Apache Streams also intends to include a mechanism for intelligent
 filtering and recommendation to reduce the noise to end users.


 == Proposal ==

 Apache Streams will bring together individuals who are or are looking to
 increase and centralize the production, consumption and federation of
 ActivityStreams throughout enterprise organizations and the Internet as a
 whole.  The target features include:

   * Publication of Activities from multiple systems via HTTP
   * Aggregation and syndication of streams
   * Support for security trimming of streams by social graph
   * Noise reduction and intelligent filtering
   * Federation of streams across disparate systems
   * Provide libraries for easy integration in source systems

 == Background ==

 The ActivityStreams specification standardizes a generic format for
 describing event-based data.  Many social web companies have adopted
the
 format and it has been included in the OpenSocial specification as the
 preferred method for delivery of activity data.  During discussions of
 ActivityStreams at OpenSocial events earlier in the year, it became clear
 that multiple organizations are facing similar issues as to the
 publication and filtering of their activities and would benefit from a
 commonly-developed, open-source ActivityStreams server.

 == Rationale ==

 In deployment, activities are generated from multiple sources.  This is
 particularly true within the enterprise where disparate systems create and
 manage activities in stove pipes.  What is needed is a central point for
 consumption, aggregation and exposure of activities generated within
these
 systems.

 == Initial Goals ==

 The initial goal of the project is to survey donated code and develop a
 common, high-level architecture for an initial release.  The project will
 then work toward that release in a new code base, pulling in pieces of
 donated code as necessary.

 == Current Status ==

 The MITRE Corporation will donate its prototype code to the project.
 Aside from this, the project is new and will need bootstrap time to
 develop an initial architecture and roadmap.

  Meritocracy 

 As a new project with many team members who are seasoned Apache
veterans,
 Apache Streams is prepared to build the project under the Apache Way.

  Community 

 The Apache Streams community combines multiple individuals from
different
 organizations, many of which have collaborated before in an open
 environment.  Apache Streams is committed to expanding this community
and
 adhering to Apache principles of openness and collaboration.

 == Known Risks ==

 An exercise in self-knowledge. Risks don't mean that a project is
 unacceptable. If they are recognized and noted then they can be
addressed
 during incubation.

  Inexperience with Open Source 

 Most of the initial committers have worked in open source and many are
 familiar with the ASF and the Apache Way; but, not all.  Additionally,
 many of the committers have not worked on a software project together

 will need time to familiarize themselves with each other.

At present, the vast majority of contributors will be doing so as a part
of their day jobs. Therefore, as already alluded to, there is a risk that
the project won't gain enough traction to be of use to their employers.
However, given the centrality of these codebases to the participating
companies, it is clearly in their best interests to transition to an
openly developed alternative.

 Apache Streams Proposal
 
 == Abstract ==
 
 Apache Streams will be a lightweight server for ActivityStreams. The role
 of Apache Streams is to provide a central point of aggregation, filtering
 and querying for Activities that have been submitted by disparate systems.
 Apache Streams also intends to include a mechanism for intelligent
 filtering and recommendation to reduce the noise to end users.
 
 == Proposal ==
 
 Apache Streams will bring together individuals who are or are looking to
 increase and centralize the production, consumption and federation of
 ActivityStreams throughout enterprise organizations and the Internet as a
 whole.  The target features include:
 
 * Publication of Activities from multiple systems via HTTP
 * Aggregation and syndication of streams
 * Support for security trimming of streams by social graph
 * Noise reduction and intelligent filtering
 * Federation of streams across disparate systems
 * Provide libraries for easy integration in source systems
 
 == Background ==
 
 The ActivityStreams specification standardizes a generic format for
 describing event-based data.  Many social web companies have adopted the
 format and it has been included in the OpenSocial specification as the
 preferred method for delivery of activity data.  During discussions of
 ActivityStreams at OpenSocial events earlier in the year, it became clear
 that multiple organizations are facing similar issues as to the
 publication and filtering of their activities and would benefit from a
 commonly-developed, open-source ActivityStreams server.
 
 == Rationale ==
 
 In deployment, activities are generated from multiple sources.  This is
 particularly true within the enterprise where disparate systems create and
 manage activities in stove pipes.  What is needed is a central point for
 consumption, aggregation and exposure of activities generated within these
 systems.
 
 == Initial Goals ==
 
 The initial goal of the project is to survey donated code and develop a
 common, high-level architecture for an initial release.  The project will
 then work toward that release in a new code base, pulling in pieces of
 donated code as necessary.
 
 == Current Status ==
 
 The MITRE Corporation will donate its prototype code to the project.
 Aside from this, the project is new and will need bootstrap time to
 develop an initial architecture and roadmap.
 
  Meritocracy 
 
 As a new project with many team members who are seasoned Apache veterans,
 Apache Streams is prepared to build the project under the Apache Way.
 
  Community 
 
 The Apache Streams community combines multiple individuals from different
 organizations, many of which have collaborated before in an open
 environment.  Apache Streams is committed to expanding this community and
 adhering to Apache principles of openness and collaboration.
 
 == Known Risks ==
 
 An exercise in self-knowledge. Risks don't mean that a project is
 unacceptable. If they are recognized and noted then they can be addressed
 during incubation.
 
  Inexperience with Open Source 
 
 Most of the initial committers have worked in open source and many are
 familiar with the ASF and the Apache Way; but, not all.  Additionally,
 many of the committers have not worked on a software project together and
 will need time to familiarize themselves with each other.

Re: [VOTE] Release JSPWiki version 2.9.0-incubating

2012-11-14 Thread Alexei Fedotov
Great work!

I've got the following questions concerning the ./LICENSE file for the
source release:

There is a list of jar files in the ./LICENSE file of the following form:
activation-1.1.jar  doc/LICENSE.cddl

What is the point of including licenses for files which are absent in
the source release?
Why license texts appear twice (both in the ./LICENSE file and ./doc/
folder)? That provides more place for possible errors.
I believe the list is good to exist in the ./LICENSE file for the
binary release. Why it does not mention all licenses from the source
release ./LICENSE file, e.g. Mozilla license?

How to understand Copyright (c) year copyright holders in MIT
license. The template style cannot appear in final version of the
LICENSE. Also, IMHO, copyright attribution does not belong to the
license (unless you use a copyrighted license).

  * Federation of streams across disparate systems
  * Provide libraries for easy integration in source systems

== Background ==

The ActivityStreams specification standardizes a generic format for
describing event-based data.  Many social web companies have adopted the
format and it has been included in the OpenSocial specification as the
preferred method for delivery of activity data.  During discussions of
ActivityStreams at OpenSocial events earlier in the year, it became clear
that multiple organizations are facing similar issues as to the
publication and filtering of their activities and would benefit from a
commonly-developed, open-source ActivityStreams server.

== Rationale ==

In deployment, activities are generated from multiple sources.  This is
particularly true within the enterprise where disparate systems create and
manage activities in stove pipes.  What is needed is a central point for
consumption, aggregation and exposure of activities generated within these
systems.

== Initial Goals ==

The initial goal of the project is to survey donated code and develop a
common, high-level architecture for an initial release.  The project will
then work toward that release in a new code base, pulling in pieces of
donated code as necessary.

== Current Status ==

The MITRE Corporation will donate its prototype code to the project.
Aside from this, the project is new and will need bootstrap time to
develop an initial architecture and roadmap.

 Meritocracy 

As a new project with many team members who are seasoned Apache veterans,
Apache Streams is prepared to build the project under the Apache Way.

 Community 

The Apache Streams community combines multiple individuals from different
organizations, many of which have collaborated before in an open
environment.  Apache Streams is committed to expanding this community and
adhering to Apache principles of openness and collaboration.

== Known Risks ==

An exercise in self-knowledge. Risks don't mean that a project is
unacceptable. If they are recognized and noted then they can be addressed
during incubation.

 Inexperience with Open Source 

Most of the initial committers have worked in open source and many are
familiar with the ASF and the Apache Way; but, not all.  Additionally,
many of the committers have not worked on a software project together and
will need time to familiarize themselves with each other.

 Speed of Development 

This project is dependent upon contributions made on company time. For
this approach to succeed, the project must deliver a workable system in a
timeframe acceptable to those companies. The initial parties have the
intention of releasing a first version within 6 months after starting the
Incubator. Failure to do so could prevent the project reaching critical
mass, and could prevent the project from being in a position to attract
new developers.

 Reliance on Salaried Developers 

At present, the vast majority of contributors will be doing so as a part
of their day jobs. Therefore, as already alluded to, there is a risk that
the project won't gain enough traction to be of use to their employers.
However, given the centrality of these codebases to the participating
companies, it is clearly in their best interests to transition to an
openly developed alternative.

 Relationships with Other Apache Products 

Many of the initial committers will be integrating this software with
Apache Rave  Apache Shindig.  A possibility exists that code is

 = Onami =
 == Abstract ==
 The following proposal is about Onami, a project focused on all
 aspects of Google Guice[1] extensions.
 The name takes inspiration from Great Waves (O-nami, in Japanese) Zen 
 Story[2].

 == Proposal ==
 Apache Onami aims to create a community focused on the development and
 maintenance of a set of Google Guice extensions not provided out of
 the box by the library itself nor the Google developers team, such as
 integration with 3rd part frameworks or extra functionalities.

 == Background ==
 Google Guice is a modern, lightweight and fast Dependency Injection
 Open Source Java library developed by Google, released for the first
 time on 2006, which is developed under the Google governance.
 A small group of people, specifically ASF committers Davide Palmisano,
 Marco Spearanza and Simone Tripodi, that define themselves The 99
 Software Foundation[3] (also 99soft for brevity), with the help of
 some contributors, has developed and maintained a good number of Open
 Source Google Guice extensions[4], that have been adopted in some
 (Open Source) projects.
 Since the community clearly demonstrated the sign of growing
 participation, they thought times were mature enough to move the
 components to a real community-driven environment such as the Apache
 Software Foundation.

 == Rationale ==
 Actually, there are no projects hosted by the ASF focused on providing
 Google Guice extensions and even if Google provides some extensions
 and allows people participating by submitting issues/patches/... there
 is no real community involvement, so moving the existing 99soft
 components under the Apache umbrella would mean create a real
 community-driven project around Guice where people can become active
 part of the development.

 = Current Status =
 == Meritocracy ==
 The historical 99soft team believes in meritocracy and always acted as
 a community. Mailing list, open issue tracker and other communication
 channels have always been adopted since its first releases. The
 adoption in a larger community, such as Apache, is the natural
 evolution for 99soft components. Moreover, the Apache standards will
 enforce the existing 99soft community practices and will be a
 foundation for future committers involvement.

 == Core Developers ==

  * Pawel Poltorak pawel dot poltorak at gmail.com
  * Thilo-Alexander Ginkel thilo at ginkel dot com

 == Alignment ==
 The Apache Onami project is intended to be portable and be fully
 compatible with Google Guice. To promote the adoption of this project,
 we believe that it is important that it remains free from corporate
 association and is perceived by the community to be vendor neutral. To
 this end, the Apache Software Foundation with its values of
 transparency and community makes it an excellent fit for this project,
 not to mention that project creators are already Apache
 Members/Committers.

 = Known Risks =
 == Orphaned Products ==
 The increasing number of Google Guice adopters and the raising
 interest for its extensions let us believe that there is a minimal
 risk for this work to being abandoned from the community.

Re: [VOTE] Release JSPWiki version 2.9.0-incubating

2012-11-14 Thread Juan Pablo Santos Rodríguez
Hi Alexei,

activation-1.1.jar et al are downloaded as part of the build. They're not
included in the source because that's contrary to the Apache principles.
That was noted in our July report (and tracked at [#1]).

Regarding the LICENSE / doc/LICENSE.* files: initially, we kept each
license in a separate file (doc/LICENSE.*), while ./LICENSE contained only
the AL. This raised some concerns, noted on our 3rd RC vote [#2], which led
to ./LICENSE file also having verbatim copies of all used licenses. As for
the Mozilla license, it's in the ./LICENSE file (line 1090 onwards), we use
custom-rhino in some of the tests, which uses that license.


cheers,
juan pablo

 Great work!

 I've got the following questions concerning the ./LICENSE file for the
 source release:

 There is a list of jar files in the ./LICENSE file of the following form:
 activation-1.1.jar  doc/LICENSE.cddl

 What is the point of including licenses for files which are absent in
 the source release?
 Why license texts appear twice (both in the ./LICENSE file and ./doc/
 folder)? That provides more place for possible errors.
 I believe the list is good to exist in the ./LICENSE file for the
 binary release. Why it does not mention all licenses from the source
 release ./LICENSE file, e.g. Mozilla license?

 How to understand Copyright (c) year copyright holders in MIT
 license. The template style cannot appear in final version of the

 Apache Streams Proposal
 
 == Abstract ==
 
 Apache Streams will be a lightweight server for ActivityStreams. The role
 of Apache Streams is to provide a central point of aggregation, filtering
 and querying for Activities that have been submitted by disparate systems.
 Apache Streams also intends to include a mechanism for intelligent
 filtering and recommendation to reduce the noise to end users.
 
 == Proposal ==
 
 Apache Streams will bring together individuals who are or are looking to
 increase and centralize the production, consumption and federation of
 ActivityStreams throughout enterprise organizations and the Internet as a
 whole.  The target features include:
 
 * Publication of Activities from multiple systems via HTTP
 * Aggregation and syndication of streams
 * Support for security trimming of streams by social graph
 * Noise reduction and intelligent filtering
 * Federation of streams across disparate systems
 * Provide libraries for easy integration in source systems
 
 == Background ==
 
 The ActivityStreams specification standardizes a generic format for
 describing event-based data.  Many social web companies have adopted the
 format and it has been included in the OpenSocial specification as the
 preferred method for delivery of activity data.  During discussions of
 ActivityStreams at OpenSocial events earlier in the year, it became clear
 that multiple organizations are facing similar issues as to the
 publication and filtering of their activities and would benefit from a
 commonly-developed, open-source ActivityStreams server.
 
 == Rationale ==
 
 In deployment, activities are generated from multiple sources.  This is
 particularly true within the enterprise where disparate systems create and
 manage activities in stove pipes.  What is needed is a central point for
 consumption, aggregation and exposure of activities generated within these
 systems.
 
 == Initial Goals ==
 
 The initial goal of the project is to survey donated code and develop a
 common, high-level architecture for an initial release.  The project will
 then work toward that release in a new code base, pulling in pieces of
 donated code as necessary.
 
 == Current Status ==
 
 The MITRE Corporation will donate its prototype code to the project.
 Aside from this, the project is new and will need bootstrap time to
 develop an initial architecture and roadmap.
 
  Meritocracy 
 
 As a new project with many team members who are seasoned Apache veterans,
 Apache Streams is prepared to build the project under the Apache Way.
 
  Community 
 
 The Apache Streams community combines multiple individuals from different
 organizations, many of which have collaborated before in an open
 environment.  Apache Streams is committed to expanding this community and
 adhering to Apache principles of openness and collaboration.
 
 == Known Risks ==
 
 An exercise in self-knowledge. Risks don't mean that a project is
 unacceptable. If they are recognized and noted then they can be addressed
 during incubation.
 
  Inexperience with Open Source 
 
 Most of the initial committers have worked in open source and many are
 familiar with the ASF and the Apache Way; but, not all.  Additionally,
 many of the committers have not worked on a software project together and
 will need time to familiarize themselves with each other.

 timeframe acceptable to those companies. The initial parties have the
 intention of releasing a first version within 6 months after starting the

 mass, and could prevent the project from being in a position to attract
 new developers.
 
  Reliance on Salaried Developers 
 
 At present, the vast majority of contributors will be doing so as a part
 of their day jobs. Therefore, as already alluded to, there is a risk that
 the project won't gain enough traction to be of use to their employers.
 However, given the centrality of these codebases to the participating
 companies, it is clearly in their best interests to transition to an
 openly developed alternative.
 
  Relationships with Other Apache Products 
 
 Many of the initial
