 NOTICE is being generated (I believe in all cases) from incubator-
 jclouds.git/resources/NOTICE.txt - I think the resources/NOTICE.txt in chef
 may be from an earlier incarnation, but I'm not 100% sure. It does look like
 we are overly broad in the list of included code in NOTICE, but I'm not sure
 whether we should have separate NOTICEs for each sub project or if we can
 just use one that's applicable across all of them. This is my first ASF 
 project
 with separate release artifacts for source projects.
 
 I'll fix the tarball names by hand for this RC tomorrow morning, and we'll
 figure out the best way to get them automatically named correctly going
 forward, including any subsequent RCs if they prove necessary for code
 reasons, etc.
 
 We've been uncertain about how to handle test resources - there are a good
 number of test resources which are just used for validating test output, and
 we'd have to have the tests spit out the license headers as well as their real
 output if we had license headers in the output comparison resources. As a
 result, we've excluded src/test/resources from rat checks in the build. This
 may have been too broad an exclusion, but we'd like to make sure we know
 what can get away with not having a license header and what can't before
 we change that.

  Hi Andrew:

  but NOTICE looks eerily familiar.  Can you tell me how NOTICE was
  generated? Jersey, for instance, is listed as being included, but I
  can't find it bundled into source of chef source tarball anywhere.
  Have you seen: http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html
 
  There's also an issue with naming - chef-project does not match naming
  specified at:
  http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#naming
 
  What are the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files under resources/ intended
 for?
 
  The json files in core/src/test/resources/ don't seem to have license
  headers - or at least not all of them do - one or two of them do
  contain a license header.

 Subject: [PROPOSAL] Apache Spark for the Incubator
 
 Hi Folks,
 
 I'm pleased to bring you a proposal to the Apache Incubator for the Apache
 Spark project: https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/SparkProposal
 
 The work originates from the Berkeley AMPLab and through a number of
 industry participants, and other institutions. Spark is a framework for large-
 scale data analysis on clusters, with a particular focus on low latency
 operations.
 The
 source code is written in Scala, and provides a number of APIs and bindings in
 various programming languages.
 
 The proposal text is copied to the bottom of this email. I'm going to leave 
 this
 thread open for the next week for discussion. Once it's died down, I'll call 
 an
 official VOTE.
 
 Suresh, Ross G. -- heads up -- this project may be of interest to you both and
 would welcome you guys as additional mentors. We currently have 3
 mentors committed to the project, but would love to have more. People
 interested in contributing should declare their interest here on the
 general@incubator thread and those potential contributors will be discussed
 by the incoming Spark community.
 
 Questions -- let's hear em'! :)
 
 Cheers,
 Chris
 (Champion, incoming Apache Spark)
 
 === Abstract ===
 Spark is an open source system for large-scale data analysis on clusters.
 
 === Proposal ===
 Spark is an open source system for fast and flexible large-scale data 
 analysis.
 Spark provides a general purpose runtime that supports low-latency
 execution in several forms. These include interactive exploration of very
 large datasets, near real-time stream processing, and ad-hoc SQL analytics
 (through higher layer extensions). Spark interfaces with HDFS, HBase,
 Cassandra and several other storage storage layers, and exposes APIs in
 Scala, Java and Python.
 Background
 Spark started as U.C. Berkeley research project, designed to efficiently run
 machine learning algorithms on large datasets. Over time, it has evolved into
 a general computing engine as outlined above. Spark¹s developer community
 has also grown to include additional institutions, such as universities,
 research labs, and corporations. Funding has been provided by various
 institutions including the U.S. National Science Foundation, DARPA, and a
 number of industry sponsors. See:
 https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/sponsors/ for full details.
 
 === Rationale ===
 As the number of contributors to Spark has grown, we have sought for a
 long-term home for the project, and we believe the Apache foundation
 would be a great fit. Spark is a natural fit for the Apache foundation: Spark
 already interoperates with several existing Apache projects (HDFS, HBase,
 Hive, Cassandra, Avro and Flume to name a few). The Spark team is familiar
 with the Apache process and and subscribes to the Apache mission - the
 team includes multiple Apache committers already. Finally, joining Apache
 will help coordinate the development effort of the growing number of
 organizations which contribute to Spark.
 
 == Initial Goals ==
 The initial goals will most likely be to move the existing codebase to Apache
 and integrate with the Apache development process. Furthermore, we plan
 for incremental development, and releases along with the Apache
 guidelines.
 
 === Current Status ===
 == Meritocracy ==
 The Spark project already operates on meritocratic principles. Today, Spark
 has several developers and has accepted multiple major patches from
 outside of U.C. Berkeley. While this process has remained mostly informal
 (we do not have an official committer list), an implicit organization exists 
 in
 which individuals who contribute major components act as maintainers for
 those modules. If accepted, the Spark project would include several of these
 participants as committers from the onset. We will work to identify all
 committers and PPMC members for the project and to operate under the
 ASF meritocratic principles.
 
 === Community ===
 Acceptance into the Apache foundation would bolster the already strong
 user and developer community around Spark. That community includes
 dozens of contributors from several institutions, a meetup group with
 several hundred members, and an active mailing list composed of hundreds
 of users.
 Core Developers
 The core developers of our project are listed in our contributors and initial
 PPMC below. Though many exist at UC Berkeley, there is a representative
 cross sampling of other organizations including Quantifind, Microsoft, Yahoo!,
 ClearStory Data, Bizo, Intel, Tagged and Webtrends.
 
 
 === Alignment ===
 Our proposed effort aligns with several ongoing BIGDATA 

RE: [META DISCUSS] talking about the overall state of this PMC

2013-05-06 Thread Chen, Pei
I have to agree with Tim here if a champion has to manually generate this 
report:  a monthly report that says simple heartbeat that says podling is 
alive and the mentors are on board?
However,  I think something like this can be automated.  What if we had a 
script that counts the total number of emails sent by the mentors to the 
respective mailing lists each month?  If it's 1, then raise an warning?

  The TL;DR version of this is:
 
  1: let's take Champions seriously as a role
  2: let's ask for a minimal heartbeat from every podling every month
 
 Monthly reporting is overly burdensome (yes, even a tiny-little-heartbeat
 report).  Let's please not add overhead/burden to healthy podlings for the

RE: [VOTE] Apache cTAKES 3.0.0-incubating RC5 release

2013-01-25 Thread Chen, Pei
I am actually glad that it is discussed here so that other podlings or future 
podlings are aware of these fundamental items (since not everyone may subscribe 
to legal-discuss).

Is this philosophy or policy also true for parts of a code base that are 
intricate to the basic functionality of the software such as icons, gifs, jpgs, 
and statistical models in this case (which were approved to be distributed 
under the same ASL2.0 terms)?

Can those be included in the source or binary dist or both?

Thanks,
--Pei

  It's unfortunate to have this conversation in parallel here and on
  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-157.
 
  Also, this thread is a combo of the discussion of ordinary
  jars-of-classes (where I'd forgotten the policy) and the much more
  tangled question of models, which is what the JIRA is wrestling with.
 
  To answer Ted, I think that Roy might write something like:
 
  It's not the mission of the ASF to create complete,
  end-user-friendly, software products. It's our mission to create
  open source code. If someone else wants to build up an
  end-user-friendly aggregation of ASF code and models from bombs of
  whatever, that's great, and we encourage them.
 
  What about Apache OpenOffice?
 
  I asked this question about Open Office, and I got, more or less, what
  I typed in above. I was puzzled, but there you have it. As I recall,
  Roy made a remark like 'our real users are people who will take the
  source of Open Office ...'.
 
 The Apache Software Foundation is not a retail software company.
 We foster an ecosystem, and do our best not to shoot ourselves in the foot
 by directly competing with commercial interests and killing the ecosystem in
 the process.
 
 Please don't confuse the development community with the end-user
 community. They are not even remotely the same things.  There is nothing
 preventing folks in the development community from providing the best
 support available, for the most polished binary releases, for folks who only
 care about open source as a fashion statement.
 They can even do so using our infrastructure, if they are part of our
 development team.
 
 It just isn't the ASF doing so -- it is some person or company doing so.
 
 Yes, being user friendly has a huge value for the projects. So what?
 We have to leave something for others to do.
 
 And I did mention, many times over, that the *right* way to handle
 openoffice.org was to manage the user-facing site separately from the
 development organization, with separate nonprofits if necessary, particularly
 since then the user-facing site could host all of the OO distributions without
 busting our brand.
 
 Roy

RE: [DISCUSS] Expressing priorities about release reviews

2013-01-14 Thread Chen, Pei
 Really is it so bad to say to a project with a bug in their license and 
 notice info:
 fix this in trunk and show me the revision and I'll go ahead and approve your
 release as-is.
 Running through iterations of this is very labor-intensive for the project, 
 and
 anything we can do to cut down on the pain involved in cutting incubator
 releases is IMO worthwhile.

+ 1 for this! 
Perhaps it would be nice for the podling to just come up with a list of all of 
the 3rd party libraries in a Jira and have a  group (possibly from legal) that 
reviews them and helps them officially construct the LICENSE/NOTICE files the 
first time around (There are usually a lot of grey areas and not an easy 
straight reference to an outdated list of approved compatible licenses).  Most 
of the committers are developers and not lawyers- so it would be nice to have 
developers do what they do best and focus on building awesome code.

  Hi Sebb,
  In (almost) all other podlings it is at the top of the SVN tree.
  IMO it should be present alongside NOTICE and LICENSE so it is

  Thanks for the input.  I already made this change in SVN trunk so it'll
 automatically be picked up in future release.  And also updated the 2013
 copyright.
  Since, maven puts it in correct place in the artifacts during packaging, I
 presume this won't be a show stopper for the release?
 
 The location of the DISCLAIMER in the tar file looks fine.
 Minor issue - the text is all on one line. This makes it quite hard to read;
 please fix this for the next release.
 
 However, I have now had a look at the embedded NOTICE file.
 This is very long - it contains lots of unnecessary notices.
 
 For example, there is no need to credit OpenNLP or UIMA as these are
 covered under the second paragaph.
 
 The NOTICE file must only be used for *required* notices (whereas the
 LICENSE file must contain copies of all licences).
 Furthermore, the NL files should only contain entries which relate to
 software that is actually included in the archive.
 The NOTICE file should be as short as possible (but no shorter).
 
 AFAICT the archive does not include JUnit; there may be other missing
 references.
 
 The NOTICE file must only contain *required* notices for the enclosing
 archive - if the archive does not contain JUnit then the NOTICE file does not
 require any attribution. Even software that is included may not require an
 entry in the NOTICE file if the license does not specifically require it.
 
 The NL files are a vital part of ASF releases, so I think this should be 
 fixed
 please.

Subject: [PROPOSAL] Blur for the Apache Incubator

Hello!

I would like to propose Blur to be an Apache Incubator project.  Blur is a 
distributed search platform built for low latency searches over large amounts 
of data.  Blur is scalable and fault tolerant through the use of Hadoop and 
ZooKeeper.  Thrift is used as the RPC library and the underlying search 
implementation uses Lucene and the Lucene query syntax.

The proposal can be found here:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BlurProposal

I have included the contexts of the proposal below.

Thanks!
Aaron

= Blur Proposal =

== Abstract ==
Blur is a search platform capable of searching massive amounts of data in a 
cloud computing environment. Blur leverages several existing Apache projects, 
including Apache Lucene, Apache Hadoop, Apache !ZooKeeper and Apache Thrift.  
Both bulk and near real time (NRT) updates are possible with Blur.  Bulk 
updates are accomplished using Hadoop Map/Reduce and NRT are performed through 
direct Thrift calls.

== Proposal ==
Blur is an open source search platform capable of querying massive amounts of 
data at incredible speeds. Rather than using the flat, document-like data model 
used by most search solutions, Blur allows you to build rich data models and 
search them in a semi-relational manner similar to joins while querying a 
relational database. Using Blur, you can get precise search results against 
terabytes of data at Google-like speeds.  Blur leverages multiple open source 
projects including Hadoop, Lucene, Thrift and !ZooKeeper to create an 
environment where structured data can be transformed into an index that runs on 
a Hadoop cluster.  Blur uses the power of Map/Reduce for bulk indexing into 
Blur.  Server failures are handled automatically by using !ZooKeeper for 
cluster state and HDFS for index storage.

== Background ==
Blur was created by Aaron !McCurry in 2010. Blur was developed to solve the 
challenges in dealing with searching huge quantities of data that the 
traditional RDBMS solutions could not cope with while still providing JOIN-like 
capabilities to query the data.  Several other open source projects have 
implemented aspects of this design including elasticsearch, Katta and Apache 
Solr.

== Rationale ==
There is a need for a distributed search capability within the Hadoop 
ecosystem. Currently, there are no other search solutions that natively 
leverage HDFS and the failover features of Hadoop in the same manner as the 
Blur project. The communities we expect to be most interested in such a project 
are government, health care, and other industries where scalability is a 
concern. We have made much progress in developing this project over the past 2 
years and believe both the project and the interested communities would benefit 
from this work being openly available and having open development.  In future 
versions of Blur the API will more closely follow the API's provided in Lucene 
so that systems that already use Lucene can more easily scale with Blur. Blur 
can be viewed as a query execution engine that Lucene based solutions can 
utilize when scale becomes an issue.

== Initial Goals ==
The initial goals of the project are:
 * To migrate the Blur codebase, issue tracking and wiki from github.com and 
integrate the project with the ASF infrastructure.
 * Add new committers to the project and grow the community in The Apache Way.

== Current Status ==

=== Meritocracy ===
Blur was initially developed by Aaron !McCurry in June 2010.  Since then Blur 
has continued to evolve with the support of a small development team at Near 
Infinity.  As a part of the Apache Software Foundation, the Apache Blur team 
intends to strongly encourage the community to help with and contribute to the 
project.  Apache Blur will actively seek potential committers and help them 
become familiar with the codebase.

=== Community ===
A small community has developed around Blur and several project teams are 
currently using Blur for their big data search capability. The source code is 
currently available on GitHub and there is a dedicated website (blur.io) that 
provides an overview of the project. Blur has been shared with several members 
of the Apache community and has been presented at the Bay Area HUG (see 
http://www.meetup.com/hadoop/events/20109471/).

=== Core Developers ===
The current developers are employed by Near Infinity Corporation, but we 
anticipate interest developing among other companies.

=== Alignment ===
Blur is built on top of a number of Apache projects; Hadoop, Lucene, 
!ZooKeeper, and Thrift. It builds with Maven.  During the course of Blur 
development, a couple of patches have been committed back to the Lucene 
project, including LUCENE-2205 and

RE: [VOTE] [PROPOSAL] cTAKES for the Apache Incubator

2012-06-05 Thread Chen, Pei
 ===
NLP is often used in search and other algorithms that work with unstructured 
data, thus cTAKES is likely to be useful to the Lucene and Solr communities. It 
also aligns nicely with both Mahout and UIMA as well as OpenNLP.

=== A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ===
We think the project aligns nicely with the goals of the ASF to disseminate 
source code to the public free of charge. Clinical NLP has long been the 
subject of cutting edge research, but is often lacking in community and shared 
knowledge. We believe that by bringing cTAKES to the ASF, the Apache brand will 
help deliver clinical NLP capabilities to a much larger audience and likewise a 
cutting edge project like cTAKES can further the ASF brand by providing users 
with tried and true, as well as new, natural language processing capabilities.

Hi Don,
The components can certainly be used in other domains, but one will most likely 
to retrain them
to get decent performance. (some classifiers such as smoking status, drug 
signature recognition, side effects, etc. are probably domain specific though) 
We actually reused existing code such OpenNLP and UIMA as a starting point.  
Please let us know if there was a use case or ideas you may suggest for us.

Thanks,
Pei

 Hi Pei,
 
 A lot of the components listed in the proposal and the Wikipedia entry
 look useful for general natural language processing, not just
 clinical-data processing.  Is it possible to use cTAKES for general,
 non-clinical processing?  Or is it built on a general core with
 clinical-data-related extensions?
