So isn't learning this bit of information a crucial part of graduation? After
all, once the project leaves the incubator its commiters and PMC won't have
an access to the Ombudsman, isn't it in all of our best interest to teach
them from the get-go what you've just described above?

What's the danger of hooking up poddlings to the very channels they should
be using once they graduate?

 The real issue for the IPMC boils down to the judgement call of whether the

 escalation procedures are working to everyone's satisfaction,

Do we have real indication they are not?

Yes - we'll have a detailed one up for the next release. For now, building from 
the tarballs (with a standard mvn clean install, in the order the repos are 
listed below) should suffice - that'll cover compilation, unit tests, and RAT 
check. Going forward, we'll have a guide for running the live tests as well.

Re: [PROPOSAL] OData Proposal for Incubator

What overlap (if any) do you see with the existing Marmotta podling?

They are building out an implementation of the Linked Data Platform which
is a ongoing W3C standardization effort
(http://www.w3.org/2012/ldp/wiki/Main_Page) and can be thought of as a
more RDF/Semantic Web centric alternative to the MS/Oasis OData standard.

On 6/17/13 8:35 AM, Klevenz, Stephan stephan.klev...@sap.com wrote:

Dear ASF members,

We would like to propose the OData project to the Incubator.

The OData Proposal is available at:
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ODataProposal

We welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Thanks!

Stephan Klevenz



= Apache OData =

=== Abstract ===

Apache OData is a generic Java language implementation of the OData 2.0
specification which will serve as a code base for the upcoming OASIS
OData specification.

=== Proposal ===

The Open Data Protocol (OData) [1] is a Web protocol for querying and
updating data that provides a way to unlock your data and free it from
silos that exist in applications today. OData does this by applying and
building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom Publishing Protocol
(AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of
applications, services, and stores.

The Apache OData is a library which enables developers to implement OData
producers and OData consumers. Basic principles of the library are to
provide an OData 2.0 specification compliant OData Library, enhancements
shall be possible in a compatible manner, have a clear separation between
Core and API, to provide an option to build extensions on top. This
library should be base for implementing future releases of the
specification.

=== Background ===

OData was originally developed by Microsoft and is released in a version
2.0 under an Open Specification Promise [2]. A lot of companies did show
interests in this protocol, used it in products and gave feedback back to
Microsoft. This joined effort resulted in a new release OData 3.0 in
2012, this version became the basis for the OASIS technical committee [3]
which is currently working on a new version of the specification. This
OASIS standard release is expected this year.

The initial Java code of this project was developed by a development team
that had already experience with other OData 2.0 and 3.0 implementations
at SAP AG. The current code base implements OData 2.0 and because of this
version is widely used it is a good starting point to build an open
source community for the OData standard.

The current code also comes up with an implementation of an OData sample
service. On the one side this is an example for users which want to use
the library to expose their own data and on the other side it illustrates
how implemented features work.

Additionally, the code base includes an extension which is called JPA
processor. With this extension it is easy to expose any JPA persistence
model via OData protocol without a lot of coding.

=== Rationale ===

More software vendors moving to OData means more choice for customers who
will be able to use different implementations. For the standard to
succeed, however, ensuring interoperability is paramount: in order to
manage an ever growing context and leverage the enormous portability and
interoperability issues that a globally adopted standard brings, it is
necessary to think about how to make the related ecosystem healthy and
sustainable. Successful modern standards are driven by:

 * Clear documentation, built iteratively with continuous feedback from
stakeholders
 * A clearly defined compatibility process, enforced by tools that allow
to gauge how implementations can be compatible and interoperable
 * Accurate compliance criteria, documented in writing as well as in
actual testing code that measure how tools and libraries are able to
interoperate
 * A sample implementation to clear up potential doubts and ensure that
the standard can actually be implemented in real life scenarios

The above mentioned pieces are able to make the development activity,
towards an OData implementation, easier and more successful. Having an
healthy ecosystem will ensure a smoother implementation process, more
compliant products, and ultimately, a wider adoption of the standard.

The OData ecosystem has been successful in creating and documenting early
versions of the standard, yet it might potentially lack two very
important aspects, that is a exhaustive implementation of the complete
protocol that can be used productively and to ensure interoperability. As
much as such artifacts can be developed independently by any OData
proponent, the value of having a neutral party as a steward of actual
code is to be considered. The Apache Software Foundation has been playing
this kind of role for many years, and can provide the perfect environment
to foster contributions on the OData theme with a great amount of
expertise.

=== Initial Goals ===

 * Implement OData 2.0, make it final and mature
 * Start

JFTR , at present there is an ongoing effort to start working on an
integration of the oData standards with Apache™ Bloodhound (similar to
TracGVizPlugin [1]_ for Google Charts API ; I'll follow up with
further details in a few days if this turns out to be useful /
required ;) . This might also be added to the list of potential
integrations in section «Relationships with Other Apache Products» .

Therefore I'm curious and would like to know if some effort will be
spent in building official Python bindings for oData .

FWIW , the way I see it this project will be a very beneficial
addition to the Apache ecosystem

Re: [PROPOSAL] Creation of the Incubator Ombudsman

2013-06-17 Thread Benson Margulies
A paradox:

The VP is not supposed to exercise authority in normal circumstances.
Projects are supposed to have mentors that advocate for them. If a
project comes 'to the ombudsman', whether that's the VP or not, what
can this person do? All they can do is bring the matter to the
community. If it's sensitive enough, to private@. The mentors can and
should be doing this.

So, if you ask me, this is just another way to avoid the problem of
mentor-shortage.

 What's the danger of hooking up poddlings to the very channels they should

 Not really, because the type of information we're looking for is about the
 IPMC, not the podling.

Perhaps I misunderstood your idea with this new Ombudsman, but to me
it sounded like you wanted, above all, a *safe* way for podling to complain.
IOW, a kind of a way where their complaints will be heard yet their identity
protected. If that's not your primary concern -- then I really feel like
an Ombudsman represented yet another layer of bureaucracy and as
such I'd be -0 on it.

 Isn't this an academic question?  Those of us that have been here a while have
 seen any number of cases where podling committers feel frustrated about the
 process and powerless to do anything about it.  This isn't a new problem.

As you probably noticed, I've only started this discussion in the context
of a PodlingBillOfRights. You did a great job of *reminding* podlings of
their rights. Note, that just like in criminal law -- not reading somebody their
Miranda rights doesn't mean they don't have them -- but reading them
does make a huge difference. I think we can all agree that podlings already
have those rights -- we are just making it really explicit.

In that line of thought, what's not clear to me is what would be the
difference if we changed your right #5 to:

==
5. Podlings have the right to express private concerns about anything
related to
their incubation to their mentors and in private to the IPMC chair
(email goes here).
If they feel their concerns are still not being addressed they have a
right to escalate
to priv...@incubator.apache.org or all the way to the ASF board at
board-priv...@apache.org
This is the same right as given to all ASF project members.
==

Roman.

 A paradox:
 
 The VP is not supposed to exercise authority in normal circumstances.
 Projects are supposed to have mentors that advocate for them. If a
 project comes 'to the ombudsman', whether that's the VP or not, what
 can this person do? All they can do is bring the matter to the
 community. If it's sensitive enough, to private@. The mentors can and
 should be doing this.
 
 So, if you ask me, this is just another way to avoid the problem of
 mentor-shortage.

Unless the problem is with an over active mentor or absentee/problem VP.

An ombudsman frees the Incubator from having to enumerate and codify every 
single circumstance where things go wrong and what would the official remedy 
be.  The ombudsman would be the go to person when podlings are having problems 
w/ the management that everyone on this thread seems to think should be the 
point people to begin with.

RE: [PROPOSAL] OData Proposal for Incubator

I think one concern here is appropriation of a generic, specified-tied name to 
an implementation, even a reference implementation.

Apache OData seems over-reaching in that respect, especially since there are 
other projects, at ASF and elsewhere, that may employ OData bindings and 
services of one sort or another.

Good point.  Podlings are heavily dependent on their Mentors, especially for
providing IPMC votes on releases.  If you offend a Mentor and they leave, will
you be able to find someone else from the limited pool of IPMC members?  A
reluctance to speak out is very understandable.

Put another way, when the ombud is also a Mentor, the military-justice analogy
seems valid.

I suppose that if the IPMC Chair is not the same as the ombud, they could
serve as a backup ombud.  That would satisfy your concern so long as the ombud
and the Chair aren't both Mentors for the same podling.

providing IPMC votes on releases.  If you offend a Mentor and they leave,
will
you be able to find someone else from the limited pool of IPMC members?  A
reluctance to speak out is very understandable.

Put another way, when the ombud is also a Mentor, the military-justice
analogy
seems valid.

I suppose that if the IPMC Chair is not the same as the ombud, they could
serve as a backup ombud.  That would satisfy your concern so long as the
ombud
and the Chair aren't both Mentors for the same podling.
