Re-Ping ...

I would be very interested to see one of the mentors come out of the Tomcat
community, itself, because I believe that would forge further Unity in the
growth and direction of Lokahi.  But certainly any ASF member who's interested
in this sort of management framework would be welcome as a co-mentor.

The list won't be provisioned until tomorrow, so there is still this window
of opportunity to be a charter Mentor.  Thanks for giving this role your
consideration.

If you prefer to reserve judgement until the initial code drop, and some
further illustrations of what this project does, I'd certainly understand,
and encourage you at least to subscribe to the mailing list, once provisioned,
from the beginning.

Yours,

Bill

Understandable, and thanks for being honest with the time you can commit...
it's probably the hardest thing for dedicated voulenteers to do.

With that said, are there others with the energy to help mentor this new
podling?  While the contributing authors/starting community has lived and
breathed open source software for years, participating in the process is
always a learning curve, and another mentor or Few would be welcomed,
no matter if you are coming at this with an eye on the underlying Java
application, the integration with various ASF projects, or on a high level
of nurturing the community.

Hi,
I'll sign up as a mentor.  I'm busy with a new job, but will make a
best effort here as this is (a) an area of personal interest, and (b)
something that I think is really important to the Tomcat community.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Incubate TMCg2

2006-02-15 Thread William A. Rowe, Jr.

I'm sorry to report, as I was preparing projects/ohana.xml, that I've come
across

  http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/Instruments/Elixir/Ohana/

in a simple search of ohana program on google :-/

Brings up another question, why are we still pointing our template.xml for
the project to look at nameprotect.com, when that now seems to be a paid only
service?  At least the uspto.gov TESS site is free.

So looking on TESS, 76185236 OHANA and 76185337 OHANA PLUS are marks by
Ceira Technologies, now abandonded.  75934759 OHANA FOUNDATION is the mark by
Ohana Foundation for Technical Development, now abandonded.

There are several more marks with OHANA that are live but don't affect software.
However, there is one technical mark, 78594546 CALL OHANA which could become an
issue, as it's in a not-too-distant family.  If this project were a multiword
project name, I think we shouldn't have any issues.  Is Apache Ohana enough
of a multiword mark, though?

The current guidelines are simply to avoid clashes, adn that guideline
cited the nameprotect.com utility which is now a pay-for-use facility.

I personally find googling a project far more useful, and there appear
to be no conflicts with your new proposal, other than the fact that another
project, Echo, seems to have floated the same potential name.  As long
as we clarify with them that they haven't/won't adopt that project name
we should be fine.

The end goal is little to no ambiguity when someone googles a given ASF
project, after hearing something about it that attracts their interest.
We don't want any project to be lost in the noise.

Other than the one link which was not apparently adopted, and several

no collision with Lokahi in the TESS uspto database.  I say let's fly with

We should also review

[EMAIL PROTECTED], and see if we can involve those folks, too.

My recollection of the discussion from ApacheCon EU was that there was quite
an enthusiastic discussion over the idea of a pluggable, extensible,
portal-based project for managing all sorts of server-side resources,
including accounts, mailing lists, services, and whatever else some
developer wanted to write a plug-in to support.

the tool set evolved, the ability to manage Apache httpd was added.  The
full name simply was changed to The Management Console.  The g2 is a Merck
item and should very well be dropped. We have been evaluating other
names, and I would like to propose Kowa 
An Apache dwelling consisting of a dome shaped frame of cottonwood or other
poles, and thatched with grass. The house itself was termed, Kowa and the
grass thatch, Pi.

Hola,

 and I would like to propose Kowa
 An Apache dwelling consisting of a dome shaped frame of cottonwood or other
 poles, and thatched with grass. The house itself was termed, Kowa and the
 grass thatch, Pi.

Mmm... We've had some discussions [1, and numerous others] in the past
about using names from the Native American culture, and there are
mixed opinions regarding political correctness and so forth.  It'd be
nice to have an alternative.

Although TMC is fairly bland (and therefore, fine ;-)  I rather like both
of the proposed alternatives.  Kowa, unlike alot of other Native American
names proposed on this list, is simply the name for a structure, so I don't
find it offensive.

That said, I'm neither Native American nor Native Hawaiian ;-)

As I've said it before, TMC doesn't do the trick for me - plain MC
would do better to remove the Tomcat reference and eventually avoid
Apache The ... 
Of the two alternatives, I think the second is the better choice.

To publish the initial page the following need to be threshed out...

Stein, Neil S wrote:

At this time I would like to propose the adoption of the TMCg2 as
an incubator project under the ASF.

Community:


 [Snip]

Need names here, including those who plan to actually participate from beyond
the original committer base.  Include those without CLA's - that can be dealt
with (and updated) next.  There is concerned that this is a two man project
(which obviously, it's not, but that was the original posting.)  If you have
names, they should be added now (and subscribe to the -dev list upon creation.)


3.1 mailing list(s)

* tmcg2-ppmc
* tmcg2-dev
* tmcg2-commits
* tmcg2-user


For the moment, we need only -ppmc, -dev and -commits, we can add -user
after the initial evaluation tarball.  That list name would change of course
once the project graduated, confusing users further.


3.2 Subversion repository

* [WWW] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tmcg2
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tmcg2 


Prior to any initial import, this should be made available at least to ASF
members for review;  Roy notes that sf.net/projects/tmcg2/ contains no code.
Can we publish this?  I can place it in an incubator PMC-only repository for
all PMC or ASF members to consider before import/adoption.


* tmcg2 (TMCg2)
Mentors: Bill Rowe
   Jim Jagielski


Add Mads to that list of course.  Jim, since your offer was quite some time
ago ... ping, are you still interested in mentoring?

A final concern was raised, TMCg2 stands for (???).  I've read it as 'The
Management Console generation 2'.  Now from an OSS standpoint, there's no
first generation, so I'd suggest dropping the g2 designation.  But was I badly

The proposal was never added to the wiki.


Correct, I've never added a project to the wiki prior to a vote for adoption.
It's never been pointed out to me before either shrug, and was the reason to
create the ppmc discussion list to drive 'filling in the blanks'.
[more on this below]

 AFAICT, the proposal consists

of two committers and the product is named after their company.


Actually five original committers are mentioned, three of which are still
in the process of returning their CLA's.  It also consists of a number of
individuals (mostly admin-type folks with some development background) who
expressed interest in contributing to the project, to Neil at AC San Diego.
Dunno if those individuals should be considered now, or wait until they
post the appropriate number of patches to merit project membership shrug.

As far as the name, you and I came to different conclusions, I've pinged
the list w.r.t. that question.


The SourceForge site consists of nothing but a whitepaper without any
meaningful content -- just a set of goals and a list of results.


This is a complete framework; invitations to view it in operation on
living, breathing infrastructure were made a day in advance, at ApacheCon,
and there were about 4 others in attendance (sorry I didn't make a sign in
sheet to record whom) as well as a few ASF members including Mads and I.

I agree and addressed your question about source code review in another thread.


The proposal was voted +1 by four of the most over-committed members of
the ASF.  The mentors are already mentoring other podlings.  Mads  offered
to mentor as well, which seems to have been lost in the process.


Howso?  He offered in a subsequent thread, and is listed as ppmc moderator
in the Jira -ppmc list request form.  In fact we would even appreciate another
ASF member at any time who offered to step up and help co-mentor.  And I've
asked in another thread if Jim's original offer still stands, the project
would certainly correspond to his long history in server administration.

[That said, I view any ASF member participating on any incubator project as yet
another mentor.]


How did you guys come to the conclusion that this belongs at Apache?


Speaking for myself alone...

One very common theme in administering ASF software is 'how come there
is no ASF project to administer this thing?'  There are a couple of exceptions
to this theme, the Tomcat Management applet being one example.

This project already plugs into httpd and Tomcat, so it already breaks the
threshold of 'just another X project management tool', and has been presented
as an extensible framework.  I know from conversations at AC that the developers
envision other ASF projects choosing (or not) to plug into this framework, to
manage additional technologies.


Are you prepared for the commitment required to incubate a group
that has zero Apache experience?


Yup.  They've been using Apache for years, so understand the 'concept' from
the inception of this idea (long before I heard of it.)  Obviously that does
not translate 1:1 into understanding participation, so there is work to be
done.  That's an incremental task, not a 'lay it all down at once' sort of
chore.  If it were that easy, we wouldn't need mentors, we'd just RTFM them.

How many new proposers hang on on infra for a couple months, soaking in the
process, and then drop into our Hackathon space to say hello and address folks
face-to-face?  'zero' is most definately an exageration.

Is this going to be another stdcxx, where the mentors failed to handle 
the basic incubation tasks?


[snipped reply]

Feel free to post a thread under either general@ or stdcxx-pmc@ forums, and
we would be happy to discuss each and every concern you have with the progress,
or lack thereof, in stdcxx.  This troll doesn't merit further comment on this
thread of TMCg2.  As an argument w.r.t. the proposal on hand, null cross 
references to stdcxx are off base.


I certainly don't remember any STDCXX complaints from you, previously.  More
mentors and oversite to that podling are always welcome, and glad to have you
aboard, if you care to help.


I don't see it.  If you think this is under incubation, then you need
to start by creating a status page that reflects the actual resources
being requested and by whom.  After that, I suggest you find out the
actual list of committers.


*That* is fair.  I'm happy to create the wiki page now, list out the
(initial) resources we are creating or requesting, list out the initial
participants, and move forward from there.  That's a good standard
operating procedure.  Waiting on feedback, and I'm sure you are too, to
my questions just posted this evening.

Does this means that we are likely to see some increased requirements for 
projects to enter incubation??

 *  Multiple mentors?
 *  +1 vote indicating true commitment of resources?
 *  Limited number of podlings under one's mentorship?
 *  Multiple instances of approval?
 *  Stronger ties within the ASF?
 *  Lesser ties with commercial interests?
 *  Bigger differentiation of podlings initial entry point?

Personally, I think something is required to change, and especially about 
mentorship. Some projects under incubation has good mentors, in others they 
seem fairly 'quiet' and sometimes other people are providing the actual 
mentoring.

I'll give this one last day to stew, and without further objection, will call

Neil, and incubator PMC,

* I'm happy to serve as mentor on this project.

* You mentioned an initial development community of approx 10 specific folks
  from 5 -different- organizations, I find that a promising start.  [Most of
  these contributions take some time to attract a broader community.]

* The scope of the project is impressive; it will be interesting to keep it
  sufficiently modular so that it scales to the user's interests and needs.
  [It seems the shortcoming of most such tools is that they 1) try to do too
  much or 2) don't scale effectively to attract a broad community.]

* The module has a tie to Oracle and future tie to MySQL - there are licensing
  issues about what dependencies we can distribute, but these issues can be
  addressed during incubation.

All in all, I vote +1 to accept this project into incubation, and I thank you
for offering this project to the ASF.
