 Non-trivial; maintaining the meta-data needed to accurately generate
 the NOTICE file is likely to require more effort than writing the
 NOTICE file itself.



 Actually, this sounds like a case where the effort for any individual
 project outweighs the benefit of saving the time, but the total effort
 across many projects would make the effort somewhat worth while.  In
 particular, something that enhances the communication between projects and
 between the author of the dependency and the users of that dependency would
 be very helpful.

AFAICT, the only way to amortise the effort between projects is to
have a shared register of NOTICE requirements for each dependency.
(basically each unique license text).

However, that is not sufficient - the NOTICE file must only include
attributions for bits that are actually included in the artifact to
which the NOTICE (and LICENSE) applies. That is something that is
unique to each project, and may change between releases.

Also as already mentioned, source attributions may sometimes be necessary.

 As such, this sounds like a great thing to add to maven.  If it provided me
 with a way to look at all my dependencies and examine my notices file for
 missing acknowledgments, that would be helpful.  Moreover, if there were a
 way for the community of users to upload sample acknowledgements and for
 the owners of such packages to reject or accept these acknowledgments, this
 would crowdsource the effort of approval.

This is an ASF-specific requirement.
I really don't see how crowd-sourcing this to people outside the ASF
is going to help reduce effort.
Also, only the ASF has a vested interest in getting this right.

 My guess is that since getting NOTIFICATIONS right is a largely one shot
 deal, it wouldn't be enough appeal to encourage somebody to actually
 implement the system, but it would certainly make one's life easier in
 small installments.

Chris no offense but all we can do is vote on what you put in front of us.  As 
soon as you realized that that document was a mess the vote should have been 
cancelled.  Right now you have no clear picture of what each vote *means* 
because the thing we are supposed to be approving is in flux.  Right now you 
have people voting on the subject on moral grounds, eg whether the project 
deserves to graduate, all mixed in with votes cast on technical objective 
grounds.  The only way to fix this is with a fresh start IMO.

 I think it would be better to start a new thread with the updated text.
 
 Also, the two scope descriptions are slightly different:
 
 related to fast and flexible large-scale data analysis
 on clusters.
 
 v.
 
 related to efficient cluster management, resource isolation
 and sharing across distributed applications
 
 I don't know whether that is important or not.

Re: [DISCUSS] [VOTE] Graduation of Apache Spark from the Incubator

2014-02-09 Thread Mattmann, Chris A (3980)
Joe,

Thanks for your cordial tone and to the point email. Thinking about it,
I agree with you. We'll start a new VOTE in a day or so to clean up
the resolution per Matei's updates and the typo fix caught by Sebb.

Cheers,
Chris

Chris no offense but all we can do is vote on what you put in front of
us.  As soon as you realized that that document was a mess the vote
should have been cancelled.  Right now you have no clear picture of what
each vote *means* because the thing we are supposed to be approving is in
flux.  Right now you have people voting on the subject on moral grounds,
eg whether the project deserves to graduate, all mixed in with votes cast
on technical objective grounds.  The only way to fix this is with a fresh
start IMO.

 Thanks Matei and sebb.
 
 Starting a new thread and collecting the VOTEs all over again would be
 time consuming.
 
 So?
 
 I don't appreciate this tone -- what do you mean so?
 
 
 Better to than being confusing, as the current thread has become.
 
 The thread's not confusing to me at all -- The diligence to update
 the resolution to the specific Apache IDs has been performed by Matei,
 so that work is done. I'll make the typo fix in the pasted board
 resolution,
 so that will be done too.
 
 
 Also it may not be clear whether new votes are intended for the update
 resolution or the old one.
 
 Do the original votes even count for the amended resolution?
 
 Actually it's quite clear to me and to those who VOTEd, some multiple
 times.
 If folks have an issue as I mentioned, I've left the VOTE open for
quite a
 long
 bit of time and am closing it tomorrow. That's plenty of time for folks
to
 amend
 their VOTE should they have wanted to.
 
 Cheers,
 Chris

2014-02-09 Thread David Jencks
I agree with Joe, voting on a moving target is not going to produce a result 
anyone can look back on and understand.  Chris, you may be able to understand 
what is happening but I'm having trouble from my attempts to follow this thread.

thanks
