[contribution] Apache MyFaces Trinidad got a new skin (aka look-and-feel)

2010-01-18 Thread Matthias Wessendorf
Hi,

for the Apache MyFaces subproject "Trinidad" we got a new contribution:

==> Adonis Raul Raduca (ICLA on file) contributed a new skin, which is
basically a look-and-file
(a bunch of CSS selectors and some new images). The code has been
uploaded to TRINIDAD-1689.

Question is: Do we need a software grant for that contribution ?
I (personally) think no, we don't.

Why?
-The contribution is an "improvement" of the existing look-and-feel;
-The contribution is not a "standalone" software / donation.
 In fact the contributions is pretty tied to the Trinidad subproject. It
 is actually useless without the Trinidad framework at all.

Let me know if you guys agree that we do NOT need a software grant for
this contribution.

-Matthias
(PMC Chair of Apache MyFaces)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a vote from any mentor [1] in
that thread.

The Incubator PMC counts on the mentors to evaluate the podling's
readyness and recommend graduation. Not that we don't trust you, but
it's a big part the mentors role - so I'd like to hear from them.

Sure. There was another thread started on cassandra-private (by a
mentor), where the mentors voted. I don't know if that is archived, or
who would have access, but I'm sure that either way they'll sound off

Kevan,

I agree.  Seems that things have cooled off a bit.

This works only if we're dealing with a CODEBASE and an existing ASF
community that takes over it, albeit with the addition of a small number of
new members who are part of, but not the entire, developer base for the
code.

This is the correct path if we need to incubate a community.

Again, to summarize: we CLEAR code, we INCUBATE communities.

Option 3 is probably not the correct choice.  :-)

That would be great, but given the criteria above, which direction do you
feel that this promotes?

Incubator Board Report January 2010

2010-01-18 Thread Noel J. Bergman
The Incubator appears to be running smoothly, with nothing regarding Board
level attention.

Shindig, Cassandra and UIMA are all talking about graduating.  Shindig was
voted on last week, with the vote closed this morning in time to try to make
the Board meeting.  Cassandra, which is not reporting this period, is
discussing graduation to TLP status.  As noted separately, below, UIMA is
preparing to graduate in the very near future.

Proposed or newly entered:

  OODT --- a grid middleware framework for science data processing,
information integration, and retrieval
  Lucene Connector Framework
  JPPF : a parallel processing framework for Java

There is a 4th proposal, which resulted in some discussion regarding (code)
clearance vs (community) incubation.  It should be resolved shortly so that
the project can move forward.

Subversion, rather ironically, given the membership of the project, failed
to provide a monthly report for January.  Thrift also failed to report.
Notes on each are below.

-

= Ace =

Apache ACE is a software distribution framework that allows you to centrally
manage and distribute software components, configuration data and other
artifacts to target systems. ACE started incubation on April 24th 2009.

There are currently no issues requiring board or Incubator PMC attention.

Community

 * Toni Menzel accepted our invitation to become a committer, after
considerable
   contributions since the start of ACE which include support for launching
using
   Pax Runner, various patches and the migration to Maven.

 * Brian Topping accepted our invitation to become a committer, after
learning
   about ACE at ApacheCon US 2009. Brian is helping out with the migration
to Maven.

 * Jean-Baptiste Onofre accepted our invitation to become a committer, after
   approaching us to work together on integrating ACE with
AutoDeploy/Kalumet.
   He has since also helped out with the migration to Maven.

 * Marcel Offermans presented ACE at the ApacheCon US 2009 as part of the
OSGi track

Software

 * Migrating from an Ant based build to Maven. Current trunk holds both
builds.
 * Currently its about aligning the Maven output with their Ant originals.
After that, the ant project will be moved out/removed. (Overview: ACE-62)
 * CI build is going to be moved to the Hudson grid. (see ACE-71). Awaiting
account creation in INFRA-2419.
 * Agreed on new terminology for some of the core concepts in ACE after
Carsten started a broad discussion about them.

Licensing and other issues

 * None at the moment.

Things to resolve prior to graduation

 * Make a release
 * Grow the community some more


= Bluesky =

BlueSky has been incubating since 01-12-2008. It is an e-learning solution
designed to help solve the disparity in availability of qualified education
between well-developed cities and poorer regions of China.

Last month we tried to pack the release candidate package and place it at
http://people.apache.org/~mabowen/. However, we made some mistakes when
producing the package, first, a improper version number, second, forget to
start a release audit before making the release candidate package. These
faults are the things we'd restore the nxet step as soon as possible.

top 2 or 3 to resolve prior to graduation:

* Complete the release audit and clarify the last legal issues;
* Revise the release version number and repack the release candidate;
* Start a new round of release vote at bluesky dev-mailing list;


= Chemistry =

Apache Chemistry is an effort to provide a Java (and possibly others, like
!JavaScript) implementation of the upcoming CMIS specification. Chemistry
entered incubation on April 30th, 2009.

There are currently no issues requiring board or Incubator PMC attention.

Community

 * Another project (OpenCMIS) targetting a Java implementation of CMIS, like
Chemistry,
   has been proposed to the Incubator. Discussions between OpenCMIS and
Chemistry
   developers have identified areas of possible collaboration but the
OpenCMIS incubation
   status has not moved forward.

 * Chemistry is now being used by companies or individuals outside the
initial developers.

Development

 * Development continues at a steady pace, mostly driven by Florent
Guillaume.
 * Chemistry now targets CMIS 1.0 CD 05 draft, soon to be 06.
 * Nuxeo will contribute a command-line shell for CMIS in a few days.
 * SOAP bindings are planned in the coming days as well.

Issues before graduation

 * Stabilize the general interest into a sustainable development community.
 * Set up Hudson builds.
 * Create an Apache release of the Chemistry codebase.


= Clerezza =

Clerezza (incubating since November 27th, 2009) is an OSGi-based modular
application and set of components (bundles) for building RESTFul Semantic
Web applications and services.

 . The are currently no issues requiring board attention. Recent activity:
  * All the Clerezza code has been imported in t

[VOTE] Accept OODT for Incubation

2010-01-18 Thread Justin Erenkrantz
Per the previous proposal that was sent to gene...@incubator, I'd like
to now call a vote for accepting OODT into the Incubator.

[ ] +1 - Accept OODT into the Incubator
[ ] -1 - Do not accept OODT into the Incubator (rationale strongly desired!)

Per the proposal below, the mentors for this proposal are myself,
Ross, Jean-Frederic, and Ian.

Unless there are any extenuating circumstances, I will close this vote
on Thursday morning, January 21.

Thanks.  -- justin

http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OODTProposal

OODT, a grid middleware framework for science data processing,
information integration, and retrieval.

Abstract

OODT is a grid middleware framework used on a number of successful
projects at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of
Technology, and many other research institutions and universities,
specifically those part of the:

National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Early Detection Research Network
(EDRN) project - over 40+ institutions all performing research into
discovering biomarkers which are early indicators of disease.

NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) - NASA's planetary data archive, a
repository and registry for all planetary data collected over the past
30+ years.

various Earth Science data processing missions, including
Seawinds/QuickSCAT, the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, the NPP Sounder
PEATE project, and the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission.

>From the OODT website:

It's middleware for metadata:

Transparent access to distributed resources
Data discovery and query optimization
Distributed processing and virtual archives

It's a software architecture:

Models for information representation
Solutions to knowledge capture problems
Unification of technology, data, and metadata

Proposal

OODT is an established open source project, with 9+ years of
existence, and deployment at universities, federal research
institutions, other NASA centers, and the NIH (it won runner-up NASA
software of the year in 2003). It has a strong community of those that
operate and support its growth. Our proposal is to bring OODT into
Apache to strengthen its support and its capabilities even further on
the laurels of Apache's brand and its growing huge community of
developers from all over the world. In short, bringing OODT into
Apache will significantly enhance OODT's widespread use, will likely
improve its codebase, and furthermore will help Apache philosophy and
community spread into OODT's already large community-base reaching
across government, academia and industry.

OODT will be, to the best of our knowledge, the first grid community
project to bear the Apache brand. By grid technology, we mean a
technology that provides the ability to create virtual organizations,
as originally described by Kesselman and Foster in their seminal paper
on grid computing. OODT provides both computational and data grid
support, and is built with a component-philosophy. OODT includes
components that allow for virtual information integration across
organizations (provided by the Profile, Product and Query server
components), and that allow for distributed data management and
processing across heterogeneous virtual organizations (provided by the
Catalog and Archive Service set of components, including File Manager,
Workflow Manager and Resource Manager).

Each set of components exist as independently organized Maven2
projects, that reference each other (where appropriate), forming a
layered set of components and a framework for grid computing.

Background

OODT is an established project within JPL and in use at several NASA
centers, as well as univerities, and other government organizations
and industrial collaborations. Chris Mattmann, a JPL employee, and ASF
PMC (Lucene) and Committer (Nutch, Tika), has been working for the
past 2 years on obtaining the necessary permission from JPL to release
OODT into Apache. After initially being stalled, JPL has granted
permission to allow OODT into Apache.

Through his academic relationship with Justin Erekrantz, Apache
President, and through their collective Ph.D. studies, OODT has been
discussed between Chris and Justin on several occasions, and Justin
offered to help champion OODT into the Apache Incubator when JPL was
ready to release OODT. In December 2009, that permission was granted.

This proposal is the result of the above efforts and related
discussions. Some alternatives to incubation, like Apache Labs came up
during the discussions but we believe that taking the project to the
Incubator is the best way to start growing a viable Apache-based
community to sustain OODT. Furthermore, given its larger code base and
existing sub-projects, the goal would be for OODT to leverage the
incubator to graduate into Apache's first top-level grid project,
rather than graduate into a sub-project of an existing TLP.

Rationale

Grid computing has been around for the past 10 years and has gained
widespread notoriety and attention in industry and academia.

I downloaded the Unix files, verified signatures, spot checked some files 
for accuracy and built Imperius.

I noticed that your key has not been signed by anyone, although its not a 
requirement, its nice to have.

:)

There's a sliding scale between those 2 options. And people may have their own 
evaluation of where this instance falls. Summarizing the issues:

There's an existing Commons Validator component. However, it's been mostly 
dormant. Commons provides the necessary oversight of the project, but there is 
small community of Commons committers working on the Validator component. 
AFAICT, there is not enough interest in the Commons community to implement the 
latest Bean Validation specification, on their own.

There's a partial (85%) implementation of the new JSR 303 Bean Validation 
Specification that Agimatec would like to donate to the ASF. 

Using the initial committers list as a guide to the "community" that would be 
formed around this codebase: there is one Commons PMC member/committer, 6 ASF 
committers (but not Commons committers), and 2 non-ASF committers. 

I think we'd agree that a fair amount of community building will be required 
for this new codebase and group of committers. A motivated TLP might be able to 
provide the necessary oversight to build this new community. However, given the 
small makeup of the Commons Validator community, I don't think it's reasonable 
to expect the Commons community to do this community building. 

IMO, Incubator should support the creation of a new Validation project at 
incubator and let's start the community building...

It only provides an alternative TLP which might have the necessary interest in 
building a community around this new codebase. If we are stuck in a stand-off 
between Commons and Incubator, this might be an alternative. However, I 
certainly hope it doesn't come to this...

Re: [Discuss] Apache Cassandra as a TLP

2010-01-18 Thread Matthieu Riou
Yeah, the dicussion started on private as Eric mentioned and that's what
triggered the vote on d...@. We should really have re-voted the dev thread to
avoid confusion.

Anyhow, my strong opinion is that Cassandra is ready. Great community, great
contributors, dynamic and fast moving without compromising stability. I
personally have no hesitation.

By the way if you have a few minutes, some feedback about the resolution
that Eric attached would be cool.

Thanks,

We can run this through Apache Legal, but my take is that we'd prefer option
#2, which is the same route that I believe was previously used for
SpamAssassin.

One issue, as I understand it, is that the ASF probably should not be
letting marks lapse, and should be maintaining them.  But those aspects
ought to be ASF-wide, and would come from Apache Legal.

Does anyone else have an opinion?  Please do offer it.  :-)

That seems a cogent enough explanation to warrant Incubation.  Thank you.  I
also believe that when you talk about multiple projects collaborating
actively on a shared, but separately useable, codebase, a TLP is often
justified.

As an aside, any issues that might relate to the Commons TLP, itself, are
outside the scope of the Incubator, and should be addressed elswhere.

Can I suggest this question gets asked on tradema...@apache.org list.
I believe all trademark issues should go there, if needed they would

[x] +1 - Accept OODT into the Incubator
[ ] -1 - Do not accept OODT into the Incubator (rationale strongly desired!)

RE: Incubator Board Report January 2010

2010-01-18 Thread Noel J. Bergman
Amended with Subversion.  It is entirely up to the Board if they wish to
accept this after-deadline addition.

Subject: Incubator Board Report January 2010


The Incubator appears to be running smoothly, with nothing regarding Board
level attention.

Shindig, Cassandra and UIMA are all talking about graduating.  Shindig was
voted on last week, with the vote closed this morning in time to try to make
the Board meeting.  Cassandra, which is not reporting this period, is
discussing graduation to TLP status.  As noted separately, below, UIMA is
preparing to graduate in the very near future.

Proposed or newly entered:

  OODT --- a grid middleware framework for science data processing,
information integration, and retrieval
  Lucene Connector Framework
  JPPF : a parallel processing framework for Java

There is a 4th proposal, which resulted in some discussion regarding (code)
clearance vs (community) incubation.  It should be resolved shortly so that
the project can move forward.

Subversion, rather ironically, given the membership of the project, failed
to provide a monthly report for January.  Thrift also failed to report.
Notes on each are below.

-

= Ace =

Apache ACE is a software distribution framework that allows you to centrally
manage and distribute software components, configuration data and other
artifacts to target systems. ACE started incubation on April 24th 2009.

There are currently no issues requiring board or Incubator PMC attention.

Community

 * Toni Menzel accepted our invitation to become a committer, after
considerable
   contributions since the start of ACE which include support for launching
using
   Pax Runner, various patches and the migration to Maven.

 * Brian Topping accepted our invitation to become a committer, after
learning
   about ACE at ApacheCon US 2009. Brian is helping out with the migration
to Maven.

 * Jean-Baptiste Onofre accepted our invitation to become a committer, after
   approaching us to work together on integrating ACE with
AutoDeploy/Kalumet.
   He has since also helped out with the migration to Maven.

 * Marcel Offermans presented ACE at the ApacheCon US 2009 as part of the
OSGi track

Software

 * Migrating from an Ant based build to Maven. Current trunk holds both
builds.
 * Currently its about aligning the Maven output with their Ant originals.
After that, the ant project will be moved out/removed. (Overview: ACE-62)
 * CI build is going to be moved to the Hudson grid. (see ACE-71). Awaiting
account creation in INFRA-2419.
 * Agreed on new terminology for some of the core concepts in ACE after
Carsten started a broad discussion about them.

Licensing and other issues

 * None at the moment.

Things to resolve prior to graduation

 * Make a release
 * Grow the community some more


= Bluesky =

BlueSky has been incubating since 01-12-2008. It is an e-learning solution
designed to help solve the disparity in availability of qualified education
between well-developed cities and poorer regions of China.

Last month we tried to pack the release candidate package and place it at
http://people.apache.org/~mabowen/. However, we made some mistakes when
producing the package, first, a improper version number, second, forget to
start a release audit before making the release candidate package. These
faults are the things we'd restore the nxet step as soon as possible.

top 2 or 3 to resolve prior to graduation:

* Complete the release audit and clarify the last legal issues;
* Revise the release version number and repack the release candidate;
* Start a new round of release vote at bluesky dev-mailing list;


= Chemistry =

Apache Chemistry is an effort to provide a Java (and possibly others, like
!JavaScript) implementation of the upcoming CMIS specification. Chemistry
entered incubation on April 30th, 2009.

There are currently no issues requiring board or Incubator PMC attention.

Community

 * Another project (OpenCMIS) targetting a Java implementation of CMIS, like
Chemistry,
   has been proposed to the Incubator. Discussions between OpenCMIS and
Chemistry
   developers have identified areas of possible collaboration but the
OpenCMIS incubation
   status has not moved forward.

 * Chemistry is now being used by companies or individuals outside the
initial developers.

Development

 * Development continues at a steady pace, mostly driven by Florent
Guillaume.
 * Chemistry now targets CMIS 1.0 CD 05 draft, soon to be 06.
 * Nuxeo will contribute a command-line shell for CMIS in a few days.
 * SOAP bindings are planned in the coming days as well.

Issues before graduation

 * Stabilize the general interest into a sustainable development community.
 * Set up Hudson builds.
 * Create an Apache release of

As far as I know we (empire-db) also did not receive a notification.
