 There is definitively a need for some XACML related project at the ASF.

I agree with Emmanuel: I don't have unfortunately enough spare cycles for
more involvement in this proposal, but I'd say that any IAM project at the
ASF (including Directory, Syncope and Shiro) would potentially benefit from
this.

Regards.

I'm also willing to help out (as a mentor). Apache CXF has a PEP that uses
a interface to convert a service request to a XACML request, and ships with
an implementation that uses OpenSAML to create the request. I was planning
to dedicate some time to switching to use OpenAZ instead.

   This email was a good start.
  
   Also, finding an existing Apache member who's either active in your

   There's several ASF members there.
  
   Failing that, tell us why your project is awesome and why we'd want to
   be involved.

  There is defintively a need for some XACML related project at the ASF.

Re: Process question on release votes

what has been with the rule that an ipmc must forward the VOTE to the incubator 
pmc when it gets started, and those members can also cast a binding -1 ?

This is correct - release votes are not veto-able.
In my opinion if you have a PMC whose members choose to ignore an
obviously problematic release, especially from a licensing standpoint,
then you have much bigger problems with the project. In my experience
two factors come into play:
1. The release manager, even with a vote that technically passes, will
not proceed with a vote where there are obvious major problems,
especially from a legal perspective. They cancel the vote on their own
accord. No one wants a majorly flawed release shipping.
2. Other PMC members heap on -1 votes if it remains open for any
length of time, effectively causing the vote to fail to pass.

If you can't get agreement on the obviously wrong candidate, perhaps
it's not as obvious why its wrong.

IPMC votes are the only ones that are binding.
However, even a binding -1 vote is not a veto - it is just a negative vote.

But IMO it would be foolish for an RM to ignore a -1 vote.

In PMCs that have been established some time, IME the expectation is
that the RM will cancel the vote if the -1 appears to be justified.
This means that PMC members who have already voted probably won't
revote as a -1 even if they agree with the -1 (perhaps they overlooked
that issue - not everyone can check every aspect of a release).

If there is some doubt as to whether the -1 should really block the
release, IMO the RM should follow up to explain why they think it is
not a blocker.

So either way, the -1 is resolved before the release proceeds.

 LieGrue,
 strub

[ANNOUNCE] Apache Phoenix 2.2.3-incubating released

2014-03-19 Thread James Taylor
Hello,

The Apache Phoenix team is pleased to announce the release of version
2.2.3-incubating from the Apache Incubator. Phoenix is a SQL query engine
for Apache HBase, a NoSQL data store. It is accessed as a JDBC driver and
enables querying and managing HBase tables using SQL.

The source and binaries for the release may be downloaded here:
http://phoenix.incubator.apache.org/download.html

Link to release notes:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12325748styleName=TextprojectId=12315120Create=Createatl_token=A5KQ-2QAV-T4JA-FDED%7Ca7a6d3045efbe3f42c7483fd29510c92a7227195%7Clout

For general information on Apache Phoenix, please visit the project website:
http://phoenix.incubator.apache.org/index.html

Disclaimer:
Apache Phoenix is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates
that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have
stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While
incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or
stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be
fully endorsed by the ASF.

Regards,
The Apache Phoenix team
