Good name too. 'Apache River' is very close to 'Apache Rivet', but they are in different areas, so hopefully won't get mixed up much. -- David N.

Re: [VOTE][RESULT] Graduate OFBiz Podling
just one question about the next step for OFBiz in Incubator: we know that David Welton (on behalf of the Incubator) has already sent the text with the board resolution to the ASF Board... is there a way to know if the ASF Board will vote on it during the next meeting (happening, if I'm not wrong, on 20, December)? I'm on the board list, as is Yoav, so we'll keep tabs on the situation there. -- David N.

Re: [VOTE] OFBiz Test Snapshot Release: 4.0.0 TS5
I read through the stuff on the 3party.html page you referenced and I think if this does become the case there is an easy way we can handle it. While it may be a little inconvenient we can remove these files and refer to them in locations publicly available via the internet. This way we can refer to them, but not include them. Would that solve the problem? probably IMHO it's worth considering creating clean room implementations in the medium term (or lobbying for an open source compatible license) Prior to running off and rewriting the wheel, perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask upstream if they'd care to relicense the DTD under something very clear (BSD, for instance). Sometimes this works, and sometimes these sorts of negotiations are aided by having an apache.org address. It's usually worth a try. mentors really need to cast their votes +1 -- David N.

If I'm not mistaken, we should be just about ready to graduate OFBiz. It's doing very nicely, and the comunity continues to grow. -- David N.

Re: Proposal for a new incubation project: Unstructured Information Management Architecture - UIMA - project descriptions
The Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) is an architecture and software framework for creating, discovering, composing and deploying a broad range of multi-modal analysis capabilities. We propose a project to develop, implement, support and enhance UIMA framework implementations that comply with the UIMA standard (being put forward concurrently for standardization within OASIS http://www.oasis-open.org - not yet submitted, but we plan to do this early in September.). What is a a framework for multi-modal analysis capabilities? Something I would find helpful for all projects in the Apache Software Foundation is that they have some sort of highly visible/easily available description of what they are in terms that are clear to a user who may not be versed in the particular technology of the specific codebase. To be fair, there are other projects already present in the foundation that arent' as clear as they could be (one common irritant is implementation of JSR blah blah without an explanation of what that is or what it's good for, or a direct link to that explanation), so I'm just using this as an opportunity to speak up, rather than citing this as some sort of egregious violator of this principle. Motivation for UIMA: Databases are core components of nearly all applications; they store information in structured tables. But more and more of the available digital data is unstructured (e.g. email, web documents, images, audio clips, video streams) with little information (metadata) attached to explain its content or context. Although many applications have been built to process unstructured data, they have either managed it as a BLOB or they have developed isolated applications for analyzing the content. In the absence of a standardized means for analytical applications to share insights extracted from the content, analytical applications cannot build upon one another. As a result, the industry has barely begun to tap the value locked in unstructured information. Aha... I think this starts to get at what I want to know. Personally, were I writing this, I might consider puting this at or near the top for the benefit of those who don't immediately recognize what the software does. It sounds potentially useful once I read the above. UIMA was built to help developers create solutions that get more value from unstructured information more quickly and at lower cost by making it easy to reuse and combine analytic modules from different sources into new analytic applications. The architecture and the framework have been validated through work with USA's DARPA which is using it as a standard for key projects Some sort of example of what they've done wouldn't be bad either, but that's just nitpicking.
