Hi Noah...

   This reminder is for collecting reports which is early enough as
the reports are discussed at board meeting 3rd Wednesday from each
month. Before reports were collected just one week before the board
meeting and some of them were too late to submit there reports and
hence the IPMC came up with the idea to collect it max. by the 1st
Wednesday of the month.

And I believe the reminders are even send more early than that I
suppose this one is just a second/another reminder

But thanks for being so keen to get things done on the right time :)

 So when the 24 hour reminder came in, along with a quick draft that was
 posted before I checked my email, I felt a little blindsided. Would be nice
 to have the final call reminder come in 72 hours before the deadline, as is
 customary in Apache.

 These are just reminders. The whole project should be aware
 of the reporting schedule, now and when TLP.

 Anyway here is the schedule stuff:
 http://incubator.apache.org/report-next-month.html
 http://incubator.apache.org/report-groups.txt

 These are generated from the main content/podlings.xml file.

 We should find a link in these archives about the
 SVN location of the tool that sends the reminders.
 Someone could adjust it. The code probably also needs
 some changes, to pick up next month's set of projects,
 because then firing before the new month.

  Dear podling,
 
  This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache
  Incubator PMC.
  It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your
  quarterly
  board report.
 
  The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 17 October 2012, 10:00:00 PST.
 The
  report
  for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The
  Incubator PMC
  requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to
  allow
  sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, Oct 3rd).
 
  Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator
 PMC,
  and
  subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest
 you
  should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting.
 
  Thanks,
 
  The Apache Incubator PMC

 graduation.
   * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
  aware of

   * How has the project developed since the last report.

Can we not run the cronjob ever day and have it wake up, do some date math,
and then go back to sleep unless the moment is right. The moment being
right defined as 72 hours before the deadline.

 IIRC the main problem in making this happen is that the current
 cronjob is unable to send reminders already for the following month.
 Thus the reminders to podlings end up being sent only at the beginning
 of the month, sometimes just moments before the deadline.

 So far I've tried to remedy this by sending earlier reminders to
 general@, but of course not everyone is following that list. It would
 be great if someone could update our tooling to better handle the
 reminders. Perhaps the incubator.apache.org site build could even
 automatically generate per-project ical files for this?

We can, as soon as we have a patch. :-)

Hopefully someone who knows the script better (where it's located,
run, etc.) will fill in details on how one would go about writing such
a patch.
