One of those is me..

I need to go emeritus as its been a while since I've committed to
anything and I can no longer keep up with the mailing list traffic. 
Anything special I need to do to go emeritus (or whatever status is
appropriate)?

it is obvious Apache has the notion of company contributions.
Companies authorize individuals where their employment agreement might be in
conflict with a CLA, and companies can provide a Software Grant in the case
where the existing IP is owned by the company.  This applies equally to IBM,
Sun, BEA, Gluecode, DevTech, or JBoss.
This is an accurate legal description but not really an issue to me. 
Clarifying the IP flow of company -> committer -> ASF would suggest that 
we would be ok to say "Tomcat by Apache and lead contributor JBoss via 
Remy."

None of this is new.  It has been discussed at length, and is fairly well
established.  This is a legal distinction having nothing to do with the
promotional wording of the Jolt awards.
Big +1 to Jolt needing a correction.
I don't quite know how to feel JBoss's desire to promote their 
contributions to the ASF.  I'm guessing IBM, Sun, and BEA contribute 
more to the ASF than JBoss does, but these larger contributions come 
from companies that do not have a strategic goal of marketing themselves 
as open source leaders.

I think one of the great things about the ASF is that it does allow 
commercial involvement in their projects.  I'd love us to figure out how 
we ARE comfortable thanking JBoss, IBM, etc.. rather than only reacting 
when we feel a line is crossed.

IMO this is the best point.  Open source projects get to try dozens of 
different communication patterns (IM, IRC, NNTP, personal email, Forums, 
Wikis, mailing lists, phone calls, CVS, bugzilla, etc...).

Mailing lists have emerged as the most effective means for open source 
development.

Key ASF individuals are joining these discussions, on weblogs and

In lieu of forming a statement for the ASF as a whole, what about 
organizing/encouraging/guiding people who want to participate?  Maybe 
specific resources that should be targetted, such as where the most 
active and/or productive discussions are taking place.

Re: compressed body in HTTP POST request; using Jabber for IM

2004-02-11 Thread Serge Knystautas
Adrian German wrote:
The application we are building involves a few hundred (perhaps thousand)
devices/stations which are distributed in a fairly large territory (say,
the size of Indiana) which act as mini-browsers and send information to a
server (to which they connect, authenticate and all that) periodically.
Now the line on which they communicate is dial-up (gsm/gprs), so being
able to compress the POST requests would keep the costs down. Also, these
stations/browsers might be behind a firewall, so the TCP connection can
only be initiated from a station to the server and not the other way
around.
We were thinking of using either Tomcat or JBoss for the server, and
it was not clear to us if the server would be able to handle properly a
compressed request. If it does it already then maybe we missed it, and
we apologize and we'd be very grateful for any pointers.
Have you considered sending information using SMTP and zip attachments? 
 You could then use James (http://james.apache.org) to handle the zips 
and do whatever is appropriate.

You would still need a minibrowser for retrieving information, but this 
might be an efficient way to send data from lots of clients.  SMTP is 
easy for the client, and while James isn't as friendly to develop with 
as I'd like, it could work.  Just a random idea.

Jakarta Lucene project has a feature/patch in the queue, and the

Otis,

You cannot take LGPL code and relicense it as ASL.  If the original 
author is donating the code, he/she can donate it under a separate license.

Also this is something you probably should be taking to your PMC to 
address.  They (we... hopefully all jakarta commmitters eventually join 
the jakarta PMC) are responsible for IP issues on jakarta projects and 
can discuss the specifics of your import.

Is it my mailer that's making a mess here, or is something else going

The two messages from "Ted Husted" that concern you contain:

  Received: from PC15 (roc-24-93-14-71.rochester.rr.com [24.93.14.71])

which appears to match other messages from Ted.  My guess is that Ted
started to compose a reply and accidentally sent it before doing any edits.
I think the confusing message (for me at least) was at 11:17 a.m. EST 
with message-id [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It appears from Ted Husted, but it is a replying and criticizing text 
apparently from Ted Husted.  The text even says, "Ted, you seem to be.." 
which is very confusing if the message was *from* Ted.

Maybe Ted is playing Devil's advocate with himself?

Now information

Hope this is not too much OT and thanks in advance,
I think JCS is getting extra attention from Hibernate, with most docs on 
this page:

http://www.hibernate.org/61.html

JCS is the primary (sole) caching system provided for 2.0. 
Unfortunately the Hibernate 2.1 release that is due out soon has a 
pluggable caching architecture and is moving away from JCS as the 
default, so this publicity opportunity may slip away soon.
