does not hurt.

Hi,

if any problems, please feel free to add me as a mentor. I am also willing to 
champion and make this vote happen, if the current champion prefers to 
re-delegate.

Kind regards,

Re: Looking for a Champion / Mentors for ResilientDB Blockchain Platform

2023-09-30 Thread Ayush Saxena
Ok, I'll take that back. Reading the document here:
https://incubator.apache.org/guides/roles_and_responsibilities.html#candidate

It reads
``
A Champion (see below) may propose their candidate project for
acceptance as an incubating Podling. Approval of a project is subject
to a vote of the Sponsor
``
So, you need to wait for your champion, and rest you have done your
part, Atri already mentioned he will start a thread soon.

Good Luck!!

Hi Atri,

On the proposal [1], you are listed as the Champion. Would you be in a
position to set up a vote thread? I think we can treat this existing
thread as the discussion thread

[1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/ResilientDBProposal

Re: Looking for a Champion / Mentors for ResilientDB Blockchain Platform

2023-08-22 Thread Mo Sadoghi
Dear Atri,

Currently, we created our proposal

based on the provided template for New Podling Proposal
.
Should I be sending an email to general@incubator.apache.org with the
subject line "[DISCUSS] Incubating Proposal for ResilientDB" or this email
needs to be sent by an ASF member?

Getting on a call would be great to formally meet our Apache
champion/mentors. I have availability on both Thursday and Friday this week
(and next week except on Monday).

You should create a formal thread for the proposal and follow the process
for review.  Once done, we can then take it to vote.

We can get onto a call and discuss if that helps.

Dear Atri, Junping, Calvin, Kevin, Roman, Anh, David,

Hope everyone is safe and well.

We would like to know what is our next step, and what the would be the
expected timeline to be officially accepted into the Apache Incubation
program. We are very excited about this opportunity, and we are fully
committed to expediting this process as much as possible on our end,
especially if we can complete our tasks before the start of the Fall
quarter by September 30. Needless to say, we will be fully committed
thereafter as well.

*Roman*, Thank you so much. Wonderful to have you as a mentor.

Proposal: here

Dear Roman

Thank you for your kind support.

Indeed our PoC is well fitting for the Apache foundation’s community.

Would you be willing to kindly serve as one of our mentors? We currently
have 3 formal mentors plus 2 informal mentors.

It is extremely exciting to see a project like this seeking the ASF's
governance! Somehow I find it particularly fitting that one of the
innovations in your technology is PoC -- Proof Of Collaboration -- it
seems to me that this is somehow very on-brand for the ASF ;-)

Best of luck!

Oh, and on the mentors side -- I always advise projects to have at
least 3 mentors. If nothing else -- that tends to make voting on your
releases a much smoother experience.

Hi,

Thanks for your update,
I checked, Anh (id: dinhtta) is not yet IPMC, so he cannot be a mentor
yet, but can help as an informal mentor.

David would not be admissible as a champion, as that requires a person

Dear Apache Members,

Hope you are safe and well.

Over the past 6 years, we have been developing a distributed blockchain
framework, called ResilientDB , which has been
open-sourced  since 2019.
ResilientDB is a lightweight and highly performant framework (written in
C++) that has been extensively evaluated and refined resulting in over 20
publications and 2 books. It allows for easy integration with various
Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) and Crash Fault-Tolerant (CFT) consensus
protocols. ResilientDB has been a key educational tool, thus far, 1
postdoc, 3 Ph.D., and 13 MSc students have graduated while working on it.
Furthermore, it has been used in the classroom for the past 5 years with
several hundred students utilizing it for their course projects. The
current core team of ResilientDB consists of 1 Postdoc, 2 PhD, 8 MSc, and 6
BSc.  In addition to academic success, it has been utilized by our industry
partners (e.g., Radix Ltd  and Mysten Labs
) for analysis and as an industrial-strength
framework to implement their consensus protocols. The broader team of
active contributors currently included UCB, UCI, UPenn, and McMaster U.

Our ResilientDB platform has now reached a stable point in its product
life-cycle, and we believe it is now an excellent candidate to be
considered for the Apache Incubation program to further expand its reach
and development by building a larger community and ecosystem around it.
Furthermore, considering the thriving field of blockchain / distributed
ledger, Apache does not have any core blockchain software in its portfolio.

We are looking for champions and mentors for our project. Your kind support
is greatly appreciated. We look forward to growing and expanding our
product as part of the Apache community.

Here is the live / latest draft of the proposal.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/12WPvs1A7tqH8VjkMrgXTGQ_z4fiL6f6oi32e7bxSjXc/edit?usp=sharing

Currently, we have *Anh Dinh*, Apache SINGA’s PMC, as our Apache mentor
(cc'ed).

Hi,
The project looks interesting to me and I am happy to help as mentor.
 BTW, I am PMC of hadoop, Ozone, and mentor Yunikorn, Evenmesh, Linkis,
etc. towards Apache TLP.

Thanks,

Hello,

I’d be honored to Champion or mentor your project as you see fit. I’ve only
had one experience helping to move a project, Apache Metron, through the
process, but happy to help.

Thanks!

Looking for a Champion / Mentors for ResilientDB Blockchain Platform

2023-08-17 Thread Mo Sadoghi
Dear Apache Members,

Hope you are safe and well.

Over the past 6 years, we have been developing a distributed blockchain
framework, called ResilientDB , which has been
open-sourced  since 2019.
ResilientDB is a lightweight and highly performant framework (written in
C++) that has been extensively evaluated and refined resulting in over 20
publications and 2 books. It allows for easy integration with various
Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) and Crash Fault-Tolerant (CFT) consensus
protocols. ResilientDB has been a key educational tool, thus far, 1
postdoc, 3 Ph.D., and 13 MSc students have graduated while working on it.
Furthermore, it has been used in the classroom for the past 5 years with
several hundred students utilizing it for their course projects. The
current core team of ResilientDB consists of 1 Postdoc, 2 PhD, 8 MSc, and 6
BSc.  In addition to academic success, it has been utilized by our industry
partners (e.g., Radix Ltd  and Mysten Labs
) for analysis and as an industrial-strength
framework to implement their consensus protocols. The broader team of
active contributors currently included UCB, UCI, UPenn, and McMaster U.

Our ResilientDB platform has now reached a stable point in its product
life-cycle, and we believe it is now an excellent candidate to be
considered for the Apache Incubation program to further expand its reach
and development by building a larger community and ecosystem around it.
Furthermore, considering the thriving field of blockchain / distributed
ledger, Apache does not have any core blockchain software in its portfolio.

We are looking for champions and mentors for our project. Your kind support
is greatly appreciated. We look forward to growing and expanding our
product as part of the Apache community.

Here is the live / latest draft of the proposal.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/12WPvs1A7tqH8VjkMrgXTGQ_z4fiL6f6oi32e7bxSjXc/edit?usp=sharing

Currently, we have *Anh Dinh*, Apache SINGA’s PMC, as our Apache mentor
(cc'ed).
