[PROPOSAL] JMeter TLP (was: Activity of Jakarta subprojects)

2011-08-07 Thread Rahul Akolkar
[please include general@ on all replies]

Thats reasonable, and I do think JMeter has enough going on to become a TLP.

Not to get too far ahead, but initial PMC would include active devs
ofcourse (sebb,milamber) and we should be able to round up enough
others with interest (olegk,rahul,bayard and other probables).

Comments? Lets say a week for comments before next step.

 Taking JMeter to HC should be the latest resort, only if JMeter is
 unable to gather enough support to become a TLP of its own.

 A possibility of JMeter going TLP should be discussed first, in my
 opinion.

 Now that JSR-223 is part of Java 1.6 there is less need for BSF.
 There are no bugs oustanding against BSF 3.x.
 Not sure it is worth fixing any of the 2.x bugs.

 Please wait a little bit. It has been a long time intent to fix the few
 bugs in 2.x and add the enhancements in JIRA to it. Maybe also creating
 a JSR-223 bridge to allow BSF 2.x engines to be used in JSR-223
 environments (not sure whether this is worthwhile, but it may be the
 case that there are 2.x engines for which no JSR-223 engines
 exist).(Just have not been able to push this more to the front of my
 table; have a 2.x engine in use that has the bugfixes incorporated and I
 would like to apply them to the official 2.x.

 Fair enough request.

 Still leaves the question of what to do with BSF. Do we:

 * Leave all of Jakarta open just for BSF.
 * Move BSF elsewhere. Where? Commons?
 * Move to the Attic.

snip/

I don't think Jakarta should/will exist for much longer, so first
bullet isn't an option. Or, put differently, if that is the preferred
option, then we should rather get a BSF TLP.

-Rahul

 How realistic are we talking on the changes? Your last BSF code commit
 was in 2007. I know I'm being pushy - but I also know how hard it is
 to say Game Over. If we move it to the Attic, it can always move out
 with the only pain being that you have to do the work locally at
 first, or fork into a Lab/Commons Sandbox/Incubator project.

 I've not looked at JCS; I've done a bit of tinkering on BCEL.

 +1 to moving them.

 But I hope the move won't *require* the package names to be changed to
 o.a.commons.
 Likewise Maven ids.

 If later on it proves necessary to make an incompatible API change,
 that would be the point to change package names.

 But I think users would be understandably upset if the package or
 Maven name was changed unnecessarily, and I will vote -1 against any
 such change.

I agree. There is precedent for not changing package names when things
move to Commons, so I think most also agree with your thinking above.

 There is one unreleased bugfix on trunk since the last regexp release, that's 
 probably the only reason stopping me from voting +1. But if you are eager to 
 mothball it, I won't object. My vote is +0.

snip/

I wouldn't say I'm eager to mothball any codebase, its upto the
remaining developers of each of these codebases. In recent
discussions, it seemed like one or more of the mentioned codebases may
be ready for the Attic.

My opinion is that unless we anticipate release activity, we can go
ahead with the move. WRT Regex then, were/are you planning a release
some time in the not so distant future with said bugfix? If so, it'd
be great to make that release and then mothball it -- worth waiting in
that case. What do you think?

 We have three Jakarta sub-projects that have been discussion points
 for moving elsewhere (viz. ECS, ORO and Regexp). For example, the last
 time this came up was during the merge development mailing lists
 discussion.

 There have been a couple of candidate locations spoken of where these
 can be moved:
 (a) Apache Commons, where they can be maintained -- pending Jakarta
 and Commons approvals; and
 (b) Apache Attic, where they can be retired -- pending Jakarta approval.

 If there is interest in moving one or more to Commons, we can initiate
 that topic with Commons some time soon.

 So, for each of the three sub-projects: Commons or Attic or something else 
 now?

 I'll wait three weeks for any responses, please reply by 3/21 if you

[VOTE][LAZY] Move Slide and Taglibs to Attic

2010-04-07 Thread Rahul Akolkar
This is a vote (or more correctly, two independent votes) to move
Jakarta Slide and Jakarta Taglibs to the Apache Attic, based on the
outcome of the recent discussion.

Since neither may have enough PMC members active, this vote will be
held by lazy consensus.

If you object, please also provide a reasonable explanation.

Vote runs for a week, ending on Apr 14th, ~11:30 am Eastern US.

This is cross-posted, please use your discretion to respond to the
relevant list(s). At a suitable time, I'll try to collate replies in a
summary post to gene...@.

We have three Jakarta sub-projects that have been discussion points
for moving elsewhere (viz. ECS, ORO and Regexp). For example, the last
time this came up was during the merge development mailing lists
discussion.

There have been a couple of candidate locations spoken of where these
can be moved:
(a) Apache Commons, where they can be maintained -- pending Jakarta
and Commons approvals; and
(b) Apache Attic, where they can be retired -- pending Jakarta approval.

If there is interest in moving one or more to Commons, we can initiate
that topic with Commons some time soon.

So, for each of the three sub-projects: Commons or Attic or something else now?

I'll wait three weeks for any responses, please reply by 3/21 if you

[NOTICE] Jakarta development mailing lists merging

2009-11-16 Thread Rahul Akolkar
The existing development mailing lists for Jakarta subprojects (BCEL,
BSF, Cactus, ECS, JCS, JMeter, ORO, Regexp and retired subproject
Slide) are merging.

Two new lists will be soon be created, one for development discussions
and another for notifications (such as SVN, Bugzilla, JIRA, Gump).
Subscribers to any of the existing development lists mentioned above
(also see CC header of this message) will be subscribed to the two new
lists automatically. The existing lists that appear in the CC header
of this message will subsequently be closed, with appropriate forwards
in place to point to the merged list.

The shared development discussions mailing list will use the
convention of identifying the subproject associated with the posting
in the email subject using square brackets. For example, a recent
email sent to the jmeter-dev list had the subject:

 Exposing run info with JMX

Once the shared mailing list is set up, the convention would be to use
the following email subject instead:

 [JMeter] Exposing run info with JMX

As a reminder, unsubscribing from a mailing list called
l...@jakarta.apache.org can be done by sending an email to
list-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org (replace list with actual name
of the mailing list to unsubscribe from).

[RESULT][VOTE] Merge dev lists

2009-10-24 Thread Rahul Akolkar
[Relaying result to all lists]

The vote to merge dev lists at Jakarta has passed with the following
binding votes cast:

5 +1s:
  Felipe Leme
  Daniel Savarese
  Vadim Gritsenko
  Rahul Akolkar
  Stephen Colebourne

2 +0s:
  Sebastian Bazley
  Rony Flatscher

2 -1s:
  Thomas Vandahl
  Torsten Curdt

I also count 4 non-binding +1s (Mark Murphy, Venkat Krishnamurthy,
Henri Yandell, Jörg Schaible) and 3 non-binding -1s (Hanson Char,
Giuseppe, Tim Cronin). Two non-binding +1s were cast by folks who
until recently were on the PMC (bayard, joehni) so perhaps not giving
their votes enough credit is getting too technical here.

We'll encourage simple conventions (as Commons was mentioned, for
example) to make filtering email, searching archives etc. as
convenient as we can on a shared list. Hope is that will alleviate to
some extent the primary concern of those who've voted against.

I will open an INFRA ticket for this merge in a week or so (after I
post another heads up note with more details, dev mailing list
conventions etc. to the lists).

Thanks to everyone who voted.

IMO:

We will pursue that, we know what will be left. The bits that may move
out contribute hardly any dev traffic so it doesn't change the
equation here very much.

This is absolutely a good time to do this. Jakarta is now at a point
where this is feasible (i.e. enough bits have moved out that the
collective dev traffic is mild compared to some other projects). In
doing this level of flattening, it allows us to overcome one of the
biggest shortcomings of the canonical umbrella project with dev nooks
and crannies. Other motivations as mentioned elsewhere.

Re: [PROPOSAL] One development list

2009-10-16 Thread Rahul Akolkar
Quick recap so far is that there have been a variety of views
expressed on the topic of one dev@ (and commits@/notifications@), and
it seems there is some positive interest in moving ahead. Therefore,
as noted towards the end of the email below, I'll be moving to the
next step of calling a vote on the topic on Monday -- IOW, this is
also a reminder to bring up pending discussion points on the topic, if
any, between now and then.

This thread has also generated a number of other items of interest,
which I'm suggesting we discuss separately if further discussion is
needed. These include, in the order they came up:
 * Merging of user lists
 * Viability of a JMeter TLP
 * Moving ecs, oro and regexp to Commons

 Care to elaborate a bit?

 I'd argue that for the people who care it's no big deal to subscribe
 to the various lists. So tuning in is no problem, tuning out once
 consolidated indeed is. It's an all-or-nothing. How is oversight
 better when everyone (or at least all PMC members) are subscribed to
 all dev list as opposed to just the one?

Its not. But expecting all PMC members to be on one dev list
constitutes a much gentler forcing function.


 While the one dev list might work OK for Commons I have the feeling
 that these projects are just too different. In Commons one could
 imagine to step up for another component. I don't see that with the
 rest that is left at jakarta.

 If there are many cross-posting (that would be a sign for
 cross-concerns) I haven't noticed any.

 At least I don't see the benefits of a consolidation. I would rather
 ask all PMC members to subscribe to all dev list than merging the
 lists. Not to talk about the mailing list archive confusions and
 hassle this might create.

My claim is that sharing a mailing list is a solved problem. sebb
pushing out BSF 3.0 is an example of someone stepping up for another
component -- more exception than rule, yes.

 No objections from me.  That's been my preferred course of action

* No changes proposed to the user lists.

 I'd rather site-cvs be rolled into a single c...@jakarta.apache.org
 containing commit traffic for all Jakarta projects.  Redesignate
 general@ as user@ to contain user traffic for all Jakarta projects,
 retiring all the -user lists in the process.  People can specify the
 specific project referred to in the subject a la Commons (e.g.,
 Subject: [oro] how do glob expressions work?).  Then add
 d...@jakarta.apache.org (also like commons).

snap/

All this certainly seems worth considering. The dev lists are
low-hanging fruit IMO, so makes sense to start there (as dev@ and
commits@ as you note). If there is overwhelming support for merging
user lists as well now, thats fine -- if not, lets separate the
discussions and get the easier parts done.

Sidebar first: Having fun with the wiki at the moment, can't seem to
create a new page for the October 2009 report (new WikiName added here
[1], trying to create it ultimately ends up here [2] ).

So pasting draft below, more input and/or feedback on general@ please
(by the 18th).

== October 2009 Board Report ==

Jakarta status report for August to October 2009.

 PMC membership updates 

Over the last three months, the Jakarta PMC has gone from being the
largest PMC in the foundation records to the second largest, from
having 120 members on the PMC to currently 87. A number of PMC members
who no longer have a lot of interest or time to devote towards Jakarta
anymore have stepped down. At the same time, we also checked with 28
PMC members who were no longer subscribed to the private list, 2 of
whom decided to stay on and subscribe.

=== Releases ===

 * None

=== Subproject news ===

 BCEL 

Occasional post to the user list - otherwise quiet, in maintenance mode.

 BSF 

There have been discussions about a 3.0 release. There has also been
interest from Rony Flatscher in continuing the 2.x line of development
for a 2.5 bugfix release.

There have been a number of improvements, an SVN reorganization and
preparations towards a 3.0 release, mostly by sebb.

 Cactus 

A couple of user list posts, no development activity since last report.

 ECS 

No activity - maintenance mode.

 JCS 

The user list has been active, and a couple of bug fixes have recently
gone in. Aaron Smuts has been responding to user queries and making
the code fixes.

 JMeter 

JMeter has been the busiest part of Jakarta in the last three months.

Sebb continues to make many improvements. The code in trunk is being
upgraded to JDK 1.5 which has offered the opportunity for related
improvements. There have been a number of new Bugzilla reports,
including a few patches being proposed.

 ORO 

Some activity in bugzilla in September - maintenance mode.

 Regexp 

No activity - maintenance mode.

 Taglibs 

This is the last board report that will list Taglibs updates.

As reported in July, the Tomcat project will host three of the taglibs
(RDC, Standard, Extended) going forward and the rest of the taglibs
have been retired. Henri Yandell did most of the work to make this
happen.

The SVN move for the three taglibs is complete. The websites have been
migrated to the tomcat.apache.org site. Bugzilla and Gump have been
redirected. The taglibs-user list has been maintained and moved over
to the tomcat.apache.org domain name, while the main Tomcat
development list will now be used for contributor discussions. The
taglibs-dev Jakarta list has been closed.

Taglibs updates will henceforth be part of the Tomcat board reports.

 Retired Projects

Though one of the fringe benefits is that both ends of the transform

 Martin,

 Actually, that's not true.  Releases cannot be vetoed by a -1.  See
 http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html

 If there's a majority approval and at least 3 +1 PMC votes, than it's up to
 the release manager to decide whether or not to release.  He can decide to
 table the vote based on feedback, if so desired.  (We had this issue in the
 release of Velocity 1.5).

  should commit those changes to SVN and give Sebastian some time to
  change his vote.
 
  We were voting on the artifacts on people.apache.org/~tv/jcs/, not on
  SVN. This is at least what I understood the release-then-vote-policy

  If Rony is a PMC member we have a result of 3 +1 votes, which should be
  sufficient. However its up to the PMC to decide this.

Re: [VOTE] Commons moving to TLP

On 5/23/07, Henri Yandell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
snip-plan/


If that, or something like it, sounds like a good consensus plan, then
I'm definitely more in favour of that than Commons going to TLP. There
are really only four steps:

Step 0: Consensus.
Step 1: Move 3 projects to the Incubator.
Step 2: Move other projects into Commons.
Step 3: Re-establish Jakarta PMC - we'd use pretty much the same
resolution we just voted on here.

So the question is; is the above direction worth discussing, or should
we just go with the Commons TLP.


snap/

I think it is.


From the Commons TLP discussion so far, a couple of things stand out for me:


* Whether Commons fits the bill (assuming the bill is tending towards
a TLP for a product) --  lets punt on that (since the board won't
have that privilege).

* If we're going to invite half (or more) of the remainder of Jakarta
to join the Commons TLP, perhaps we can do that exercise here, and aim
towards step 3.

I do understand that some of us are wearing thin on patience and that
this would be a detour.

 I think  there's another issue here.

 Many of those who voted +1, aren't on the initial list of committers

 Also, many current commons committers aren't on the proposed list.

Yup thats disappointing.

 It seems that we're not voting on that specific proposal, rather just
 the idea to move, and that a lot of people are being disenfranchised
 by not being listed.

Its down to people to add themselves to the TLP resolution (they were
invited to do so) - if people are disenfranchised then its their own
choice.


snip/

In teasing apart these two questions:

(1) Whether a community member plans to continue to be involved with
the Commons community (regardless of where the code resides -- this
TLP or a new one)

(2) Whether a community member supports the TLP proposal

Its possible to answer 'yes' to (1) but oppose / be undecided /
abstain on (2). For example, see Simon's post in this thread, I think
he raises a similar point. I'm in that boat as well.



 Wouldn't it be better if the initial list came from the svn acl?

Would seem wrong to put people on the list without their consent.

Agreed.

Hi all,

I'd like to call a vote to have Petar Tahchiev as a Jakarta Committer.

+1

-Rahul



Petar currently works as software engineer in Bulgaria, but was a MSc
student last year, when we proposed porting the Cactus build to Maven
2 as a GSOC (Google Summer of Code) project. Although the project
didn't make it to the allotted ASF projects, Petar kept doing the
(hard) work, despite my slowness to support him.

Prior to participate on Cactus development, he made some contributions
to Apache Ant and other ASF projects. He also has a blog at java.net
(http://weblogs.java.net/blog/paranoiabla/).

A couple of months ago, I failed (again :-() to setup a sandbox SVN
branch at ASF for him to continue his work, so he ended up creating a
separated repository on SourceForge where we could do some work in
parallel. Now that code is ready to come back to the Jakarta codebase,
and the proper legal measures has already been taken (see
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/jakarta-cactus-tahchiev.html).

Besides the technical aspect, I can tell from personal experience that
he is a talented and enthusiastic developer, and will be a valuable
contributor to the Cactus/Jakarta communities. So, here is my (PMC
binding) +1 vote.

Something being a good idea and being required ASF policy are really

The suffering is in the implication that I'm not already being

average developers with the apache branding and all. The fact that
it's ok to send me emails telling me I'm part of a problem project
because I haven't followed some new guidelines put in place because of
other peoples mistakes - mistakes I haven't even made is really
just insulting and annoying.

Unsure what emails, annoyances etc. you were talking about so I tried
to look at Tapestry list archives (I guess thats what you are refering
to?) -- specifically looked for things like votes, discussions about
releases etc. Now I can't find a vote for v5.0.3 (maybe I missed it,
maybe votes are on the private list -- I don't know), but if what you
are saying above is that there is no need to vote at all, that goes
against what has been described elsewhere in this thread as community
consensus, and appears completely different from the discussion here
(timing of the vote).

It is so, without a doubt.

The original charter probably predates the existence of the Apache
Incubator itself by well over a year. IMO, we're steadily growing as a
Foundation in our understanding of code donations and bringing
existing external projects (code, community et al) in the ASF fold.
There are multiple aspects to these transitions, all of which are best
handled by the procedures and policies of the Apache Incubator.
Ofcourse, all of this and more is here [1].

 Hi
 I wonder if anybody can give me an answer about bug 33167. I just need to
 know whether it will be released in future releases, if so when? I have
 already posted this question as part of the bug trail itself and I did not
 get an answer.

Jakarta Commons has moved from Bugzilla to JIRA. Your issue can be found
at this address:
  http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-61


snip/

And sorry for redirecting you yet again, but perhaps the more
appropriate forum for DBCP questions is the Jakarta Commons mailing
list (user or dev, as per content of message) as mentioned on the DBCP
site here [1].
