Re: [DISCUSS] project proposal - Apache Sedona

[Felix Cheung]

Thanks. I have added Von (welcome onboard!) and some context from this
discussion thread to the proposal post on wiki.

If there are no further questions, I’d like to move this to a VOTE tomorrow.

Re: [DISCUSS] project proposal - Apache Sedona

[Gosling Von]

Hi,

This is a very interesting geospatial data processing project. You’ve got a 
good set of mentors!

If you are looking for a fourth mentor then I volunteer if you are interested.

Best Regards,
Von Gosling

Re: [DISCUSS] project proposal - Apache Sedona

[Jia Yu]

Thank you, Justin and Felix.

In addition to the comments from Felix, I am adding a few points:

1. We have noticed that the release process will go through voting, which
may take some time. We have no problem with that. We believe that
experiencing these is vital to Sedona and our community will benefit from
it.
2. We are not aware of any issues if the incubation takes longer. For sure,
we want the project to graduate to be a top-level project but what matters
most is that this project and the community should become mature enough and
be able to thrive on their own.

Thanks,
Jia

Re: PyPI - I am aware of the ongoing discussion on the distribution
guideline, plus from working with other communities in the past, so I
believe I can provide some guidance there.

As for community, google group maps well to dev@a.o, Gitter can move to ASF
slack (with dev@ summary), GitHub issue can continue - I would think they
would work well.

Re: [DISCUSS] project proposal - Apache Sedona

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

Currently PiPy is not an ASF supported platform and you may have some 
difficulty in complying with ASF policies. Are you aware of the trademark, 
branding and other ASF policies that apply here? Also are you are aware that 
the ASF release process involve the PPMC and IPMC voting on release which can 
take some time?

At the ASF discussions need to take place on the mailing list, you seem to have 
a number of other communication channels, is it going to be an issue moving 
some of that discussion off them and onto the mailing list?

It is rare for projects to exit incubation in under a year. Will there be any 
issues if this process takes longer?

It may be better off to start with a single dev list and add the user list 
later as needed. Is there a reason you want both at the start?

Thanks,
Justin

Re: [DISCUSS] project proposal - Apache Sedona

[Jia Yu]

Hello Ming Wen,

Thanks for the question!

Harry Zhu is the contributor of Sedona R binding. His code is a submodule
of the main repo
https://github.com/DataSystemsLab/GeoSpark/tree/master/contrib, and thus
was not counted towards the main statistics. The main repo of GeoSpark R is
here https://github.com/harryprince/geospark

We will soon merge his code into the main repo. This way, his contribution
will be shown in the main statistics.

I hope this answers your question! :)

hello, Jia Yu,
I have a question. I saw that in the initial commiiters, Harry Zhu
(7harryprince AT gmail.com) was ranked 26th in github statistics.
Does he have some non-code contributions?

Re: [DISCUSS] project proposal - Apache Sedona

[Jia Yu]

Hello Dave,

Thank you for the great question!

We actually have tried our best to reach out to the existing code
contributors to ask for their support. To be specific, we did the following
two things:

1. We created a GitHub issue on GeoSpark repo to explain this donation in
October 2019.

Please find the issue here:
https://github.com/DataSystemsLab/GeoSpark/issues/391

We just posted the latest update of this proposal and added that if anyone
found that we forgot them, we are more than happy to add them.

2. We have contacted all code contributors individually through emails and
personal contacts. They all support this donation. The initial committers
are contributors who made significant contributions to Apache Sedona based
on the GitHub statistics:
https://github.com/DataSystemsLab/GeoSpark/graphs/contributors They are
willing to continuously support this project.

We believe that we have got strong support from the community. Hope this
can answer your question!

Regards,
Jia

[Dave Fisher]

Hi -

You note over 30 contributors to GeoSpark, but there are only 8 initial 
committers. Has the move to the Apache Incubator been thoroughly discussed in 
the existing community? Is anyone being excluded?

Best Regards,
Dave

Any questions or concerns? If not, I can kick off the VOTE thread shortly.

[DISCUSS] project proposal - Apache Sedona

[Felix Cheung]

Hi,

We would like to propose Apache Sedona, currently known in its community as
GeoSpark, as a new project under the Apache Incubator.

Sedona is a big geospatial data processing engine. The system provides an
easy to use Scala, SQL, and Python APIs for spatial data scientists to
manage, wrangle, and process geospatial data. The system extends and builds
upon a popular cluster computing framework (Apache Spark) to provide
scalability.


The proposal can be found at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/Sedona+Proposal

The project can benefit from and is seeking more experienced mentor.

Any thought or feedback is appreciated!
Regards
Felix
