Hello, Lens people! In the future, please ensure that *all* release announcements include the Incubating "Disclaimer" in them. Your download page should be updated (asap) to include the same. Thanks, -g On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 11:53 PM, Amareshwari Sriramdasu < amareshw...@apache.org> wrote: >

hahaha funny that the template at that site says the software is in the public domain, but then goes on to state what can be done with it, and to provide a disclaimer. If it is truly in the public domain, then no futher discussion is needed. And note that some jurisdictions (eg France) don't a

To clarify one step further: podlings are not official projects, so any outreach via apache.org (and its name/recognition) needs appropriate messaging. That is why we have press@ :-) On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 10:36 PM, Ross Gardler (MS OPEN TECH) < ross.gard...@microsoft.com> wrote: > It's not ComD

I'd suggest striking the user@ mailing list. Keep the community (such as it is) on dev@ until traffic gets too heavy. I've seen early splitting of the user/dev keep a new project from reaching a good critical mass. On Thu, Apr 23, 2015 at 1:46 PM, Sam Ruby wrote: > Initial sketch placed on the w

"if we accept" ... take a position, Ross. The two problems *are* orthogonal. The IPMC can do whatever it likes. A pTLP is a proposal to the Board. Bertrand would like to see discussion on general@incubator, but that is merely a handy location. It actually has zero to do with the Incubator. Ross:

There are a few things that I would suggest for "next steps": 1) Draft a template resolution. Starting in the wiki is fine, but you'll want to involve board@ when you have your first draft done. This will also start the discussion among the Directors (recall: the Board hasn't even agreed to try th
