Re: [DISCUSS] Call for PMC Members and Contributors

2023-07-15 Thread Aaron Niskode-Dossett
Hi everyone, I can confirm that voting has begun.  In terms of timeline,
the vote must stay open for one week and then this is a minimum waiting
period of a few days after we forward results to the board to have new PMC
members added.  So please expect another update toward the last week of
July.

Thanks and regards, Aaron

Re: [DISCUSS] Call for PMC Members and Contributors

2023-06-25 Thread 6harat
Hey,

I happened to come across the board meeting notes for this month (21st June
2023) which states that: "A report was expected, but not received"
(ref: https://whimsy.apache.org/board/minutes/Storm.html)

Humble request from PMC chair if we can get some traction here. 

Re: [DISCUSS] Call for PMC Members and Contributors

2023-06-20 Thread 6harat
Hey,

Just wanted to follow-up on the thread initiated by Richard, if there were
any updates from the PMC circle that can be shared with the wider audience.
Also, curious about if we have any previous roadmap available for the
further evolution of the project. (I checked on JIRA but wasn't able to
find one)

I would be interested to help contribute to the project in any way possible
out of my personal capacity. (Have used Storm in the enterprise environment
for many years)
I would suggest if the PMC circle can syncup over google meet / zoom along
with interested new folks and help decide the way forward. Please let us
know your thoughts on the same.

Re: [DISCUSS] Call for PMC Members and Contributors

2023-06-19 Thread Richard Zowalla
Don't want to come across as an annoying user, but have we made any
progress in this area yet? Everyone who has expressed interest
(usually) doesn't have read access to private@, so no one knows what
the current status is regarding the continuation of the project by
expanding the committer / pmc circle. CC'ing private@, so we can
hopefully get an update.

I am asking because I read about the intention to cut a storm 2.5.0
release and I am wondering, if we get the necessary votes in a timely
manner.

Thanks for the reminder Richard,

In response, I’ve bumped the PMC-private discussion around adding new members 
interested in contributing.

Re: [DISCUSS] Call for PMC Members and Contributors

2023-05-11 Thread Richard Zowalla
Hello,

I know we are all busy with our day jobs, but is there any news?

We had some activity after a move to the attic was proposed. In the process, a 
few people volunteered to help with the project.

A few weeks later, IMHO we are back to where we were before the proposal. Mails 
are going nowhere and I've heard of a few people planning to just fork Storm to 
get an updated version into production. 

If we want to prevent that and Storm should really be put into maintenance 
mode, then we should urgently take care of expanding the PMC/Committers circle, 
so that we are able to put out timely releases again and the work regarding 
maintenance is distributed on more than just 2 shoulders.

Don't take it as a rant, it's just my opinion as someone who runs a Storm 
Cluster in production and would love to help the project to sustain.

Gruß
Richard

Hi Taylor,

as written in the other thread, I am happy to help. 

If needed, I can also work on doing the mechanical work of a release
(already knowing the quirks with asf infrastructure).

Gruß
Richard

[DISCUSS] Call for PMC Members and Contributors

2023-02-22 Thread P. Taylor Goetz
Quick update:

The ASF Board voted to accept both our report and the resolution to change PMC 
Chair. Board feedback on our report was positive.

The next step is to expand the the PMC/Committers group. Official votes will 
necessarily be private, but I see no reason nominations can’t be public.

So lets open a thread to talk about adding new contributors to the PMC. Feel 
free to:

1. Volunteer to support the project as a PMC Member/Committer..
2. Nominate someone become PMC/Committer

I have a few candidates in mind, and will follow up accordingly. Votes for new 
members will be private, but successful votes for new members will be announced 
on the public lists.

One important way to contribute is to volunteer as a release manager for any 
given release, even if we release infrequently (e.g. only in response to a 
serious bug or security issue. I don’t have the bandwidth to act in that role, 
though I will commit to support voting on releases, etc. Ideally we would want 
at least two folks ready to step into that role, but we can get by with one if 
necessary.

Thanks again to everyone who’s expressed interest in contributing to the 
project.

- Taylor
