Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Apache Tuweni graduation

Thanks Chris,

Mea culpa. You’re right and I’m wrong and we’ll look into fixing the release 
process so PPMC only are binding.

I will work with the project on its community.

Cheers,

Antoine

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Apache Tuweni graduation

2022-12-22 Thread Christofer Dutz
Sooo … assuming we let Tuweni graduate,

If you could only release with binding votes from the incubator.
How would you be able to release without it?

Because technically as a TLP there is nowhere, where you could get those 
missing votes.

And if a project can’t release because there are too little PMC members able to 
vote, that’s the direct path to the Attic.

So please invest some time and effort into growing and engaging your community.
Trust them with making changes and decisions.
Promote your project publicly and promote that people are welcome to come and 
contribute.
Offer them to be their mentor for their first contributions.

That’s my advice and happy to chat if you want some help with that all.

HI,

Sorry, that’s not how it works, the PPMC needs to vote on it first, and then 
once that has passed, vote for it on the IPMC list. If you don’t get enough 
votes on the podling's list, that may indicate a community issue. Either you 
need to find more PPMC members or try and engage existing ones.

Kind Regards,
Justin

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Apache Tuweni graduation

2022-12-21 Thread li gang
I agree with Christofer Dutz.
I expressed my concerns about the diversity of the community, mainly
because the community highly dependent on single contributor(Antoine
Toulme),

I did not directly vote -1 because I think it's better for Tuweni could
continue to build community in Incubator and continue to vote when grows
diverse community.

If it is necessary to vote now, I  give my vote  -1(binding).

I still think it is a good way to build diverse community in the Incubator,
because mentors and other IPMC members can give more guidences and help.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Apache Tuweni graduation

2022-12-21 Thread Christofer Dutz
Hi all,

I still think just because a resolution is added that it doesn’t mean the board 
will accept it.

Having barely 3 +1 votes also seems an indicator that the rest of the IPMC 
doesn’t clearly believe Tuweni is ready for graduation.
The incubator is for projects to learn how to do things the Apache way and to 
grow its community into a sustainable project.
I see that the first part seems to be done, but the second part is completely 
missing.

I also don’t agree that being in the incubator will keep anyone from 
contributing, I even think that most people know that incubating projects are 
usually the ones easiest to get involved in.
So I would like to bring the counter-argument to the table, that growing the 
community might become harder, once Tuweni is a TLP.

The problem I see is perfectly reflected by this:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-tuweni/graphs/contributors

Has anyone besides you – Antoine – ever done a release?
Also did I have a look at your last release thread:
There you had exactly 3 +1 votes, however one of them was from “Danno Ferrin” 
who seems to “only” be a Committer.
A PPMC +1 vote would have been required here, so technically this release 
wasn’t ok.

I think this project should focus on building the community, having others be 
the Release Manager for one or two releases and then to aim for graduation.

Maybe I should make my opinion a bit more explicit by officially voting -1

So here goes:

-1 binding

Re: [VOTE] Apache Tuweni graduation

2022-12-19 Thread Josh Fischer
To build on what Dave is saying (from my experience at least) is projects
will enter the incubator and they tend to focus on building new features on
top of new features. Instead of focusing on how they can transfer that deep
knowledge of the system to anyone who is willing to learn.

Getting those people to feel comfortable stepping up can be a challenge.
Making new comers (whoever they are) feel welcome to ask questions and
contribute on mailing list discussion, prs, code contributions, etc is the
most important part of building a self-sustaining community.


I’ll get off my soapbox now.

I agree we don't need to hold the Tuweni graduation for the release checking.
But if we want to build a sustainable Open Source project, we still
need to pay lots of attention to community building.

Re: [VOTE] Apache Tuweni graduation

2022-12-10 Thread Antoine Toulme
Hello folks,

Apache Tuweni had a much smaller community when it started its incubation at 
Apache. The path of this project has been impacted by the domain it applies to 
and the pandemic certainly hasn't helped. Still it has managed to create enough 
momentum to make regular releases and check off all incubation checks.
Community building is definitely still on the menu - right now and later as 
well. We will continue building and including folks. We have onboarded 
successfully multiple committers and have received contributions. I expect this 
trend to continue and mature.

The question is whether the best place for us to continue growing is the 
incubator. The incubator adds additional checks on our releases and slows down 
our cycles, which has historically driven folks to fork and move away from the 
project.

The incubator doesn't offer opportunities for community building, from what I 
know. We will need to continue to build our image and presence to attract 
contributors on our own.

The project mentors have been nothing short of fantastic. They have been 
helpful in maturing the project. In my opinion, we are using their precious 
time when they should be engaged in helping other projects of the incubator.

With this, I want to thank the incubator. We had a great experience building 
with you all. I personally believe we should free the incubator's time and 
attention to concentrate on other projects. I also believe the project is 
mature enough to function outside of the incubator.

I vote +1 to graduate Tuweni from the incubator.

Thanks,

Antoine

Re: [VOTE] Apache Tuweni graduation

2022-12-07 Thread larry mccay
We have also recently seen long term incubating projects with considerable
adoption falter.
I consider the fact that they did not graduate early enough a contributing
factor here.

Nothing wrong with incubation but staying in the incubator and encountering
attrition is different from TLP
with some churn with new folks coming into an official TLP project while
others can fall off in a healthy way.

Again, having the community test and release 14 separate releases
demonstrates contributors in the community
even if they aren't all materially contributing code.

Hi all,

And in the last few months the ASF has sadly seen enough cases, in which even 
big projects suffered from the lack of diversity.
So, I would also consider this to be a blocker.

Community building isn’t something that happens or comes for free.
It’s actually hard work, but it needs to be done.

Just my opinion on this topic.

Regarding graduation, the ASF official website made some introductions, and
also introduced how to build an open and diverse community.

First,whether graduation requires diversity?
Here is a quote from [1].
 > A major criterion for graduation is to have developed an open and
diverse meritocratic community.
Time has demonstrated that these kinds of communities are more robust and
productive than more closed ones.

Second, is the current community diverse?
Here is the introduction to diversity in [1].
> The project is considered to have a diverse community when it is not
highly dependent on any single contributor (there are at least 3 legally
independent committers and there is no single company or entity that is
vital to the success of the project).

Because I checked the [3],[4],[5] and It looks like the project is mainly
maintained by Antoine Toulme self,so I have the concern.
Of course, we can also provide more evidence that the community is diverse

Third, how community grows diverse?
We can read more on how to successfully build an open and diverse community
in the community guide[2].

Re: [VOTE] Apache Tuweni graduation

2022-12-05 Thread Antoine Toulme
Here are the relevant messages Larry mentions:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/rl93tocc2nt3b6lnwvqp3xbnxcvc5cwg
https://lists.apache.org/thread/xrf3ft5b9jzbbtcwo2k8kqbk2fn69vyx

It’s unclear to me how the incubator will further help with establishing 
diversity - during our discussion, Justin Mclean mentioned he thought it was a 
good idea to get out of incubation to drive further adoption and growth 
(https://lists.apache.org/thread/9ghzpyqjcw7j2zbfq5nrx0ckq2tx761f).

I would be grateful for any advice to bring additional growth to the project. 
Do you see any avenue inside the incubator that we should engage with? Any 
specific items we could pursue, perhaps?

Cheers,

Antoine

I'm not so sure that I see this as a blocker for graduation.
There was enough consensus and testing to spin and publish 14 releases.
There has been healthy conversation about this very topic among the mentors
and contributors on the private list.

The nature of this project is that the consumption of these libraries are
going to get less traction while in incubation and a community may grow
larger as a TLP as confidence is instilled by that status.

The Tuweni community has demonstrated the ability to publish releases
within that Apache Way and guidelines, has welcomed new contributors, etc.
The long term success will require a larger active community but I don't
think that needs to block graduation as the incubation goals have been met.

My 2 cents.
