Re: Re: [VOTE] Distribution guidelines for platforms
With my IPMC hat on (and explicitly NOT with my ASF VP Legal one on) +1 Btw I'd suggest replacing "This would expose our users and the ASF to the risk of lawsuit." with "This would expose our users and the ASF to the risk of legal actions." -- the rationale here being that C maybe as annoying and damaging as a legal suit.

Re: [VOTE] Distribution guidelines for platforms
Hi, +1, binding. I've been quietly following similar discussion in some different threads, because I've had the same issues with mentoring incubators, including help some pmc members to release in some TLPs. According to my understanding, whether it is incubation project or top-level project, there are some unclear places in the distribution, especially after more and more package management tools appear, PyPI, NuGet, Helm, DockerHub and so on. I highly respect the foundation's concern and effort on intellectual property and brand legal. From the perspective of the development of the project, we may need to have more flexible mechanisms to ensure that our products are easy to be distributed. thus improving the speed of iteration and release flexibility of the products. In that point, clarification in incubators is a great thing, and projects can learn to adapt to the rules as soon as they are hatched. But I'm also concerned about whether the rules should be applied to the top-level projects(Maybe this discussion goes beyond IPMC), and I would be totally supportive of such continuity and compliance between Podlings and TLPs.

It taken years to get to this point and these issues and the like have been discussed for over a decade without resolution and that’s why policy don’t exist.

I think all of these situations can occur with or without the new incubator policy. The fact that this vote introduces a new policy means that podlings will have to comply with the union of the ASF policies and this additional incubator policy.

Re: [VOTE] Distribution guidelines for platforms
Hi, How is providing guidance on ASF policy to podlings unfair if it makes their life easier? Again these guidelines add nothing that a TLP shouldn’t already be doing. They may do it in a slightly different way, and that’s OK and also allowed by these guidelines. Put it this way without that guidance some podlings will come to graduation, and it will not be granted as they are not complying with ASF policy. Or we have the situation when the board points out to the Incubator that a podling is not following ASF policy. Or podlings may leave the Incubator because they didn’t understand the requirements of those policies. Or a podling would be removed from the Incubator for not following ASF policy. Yes, we could wait until the ASF come up with a policy (and even help them create it), that may take years. Meanwhile, the above issues will keep occurring. An alternative to wait and see is to come up with some guidelines that give good advice (and that legal and trademarks have looked at) and then adjust as needed when the ASF does come up with a policy for these platforms.

Re: [VOTE] Distribution guidelines for platforms
> So what would you suggest as an alternative? As I've been consistently suggesting in the discussion thread and in this thread, I hope that ASF could move forward together on the distribution guidelines, and the consensus should bind all projects, TLP and podlings alike. Taking the shortcut for incubator to move forward alone makes it unfair to the podlings.

If this is indeed the case, I think it would be extremely concerning if the incubator is to ban all podlings from using non-ASF distribution channels. It would be an act that forces podlings that rely on non-ASF distribution channels to retire, making the name "incubator" rather insincere to them, if not ironic.

Re: [VOTE] Distribution guidelines for platforms
Hi Justin, While I appreciate your efforts in putting together the guidelines, your reply seems to indicate that this guideline is not making new rules, which is apparently false. Specifically, you wrote: > Nothing as far as I can see is added only clarified and put into context for > different 3rd party > platforms. This description suggests that the nature of this guideline is the interpretation of the existing Apache policies in the context of distribution on third-party platform. Personally, I believe that interpretation is still making new rules. After all, statutory interpretation is one of the main ways for making laws in common law legal system. As a podling PPMC member, my main concern from the disagreement in this thread is that we may end up seeing podlings being bound by additional rules that the top-level projects are not bound to. My preference on how things should unfold, as I mentioned in the discussion thread, is still to see the consensus built in the overall Apache policies that binds everyone, not just the podlings.

These guidelines are about distribution of releases not making releases. The incubator already has guidelines about releases [1] and it does reference http://www.apache.org/dev/#releases at the top. This information does not replace that. But yes referencing [2] (ASF distribution policy) is a good idea. > To me the only way that the Incubator policy guidance differs from ASF policy > guidance is: > > - Disclaimers > - IPMC vote on releases on general@ > - Allowing non-Apache legacy releases in transition. Also: - How PPMC member are elected - How press announced can be made - Branding and trademark And guidance on how to follow other ASF policies. Mentors and IPMC members do that all the time. This document helps in that regard and there is nothing in this document that isn’t in policy elsewhere. > I agree that guidance would be helpful for distribution channels other than > those Infrastructure supports, but that guidance should be at the Foundation > level. The Incubator has waited years for something to happen, the current draft policy doesn’t address this, nor is it our remit to fix that policy. Do we just postpone all project graduations that use other methods of distribution while we wait? Or prohibit them altogether? Or do we provide best practice guidances that has input from the IPMC, legal and trademarks and has been discussed on and off for over a year? Currently we have more than one podling that are not following ASF policy on releases and distribution. If they were pointed to and followed this document they would have be in compliance.

Re: [VOTE] Distribution guidelines for platforms
Hi Justin, To me the Foundation Dev Guidance comes first and it is currently buried within the Incubator policy and guidance. A reference to http://www.apache.org/dev/#releases ought to be first from any incubator policy or guidance page. Problems with the dev page should be addressed. If the Foundation wide policy and guidance is weak then that should be fixed so that an Incubating podlings can use the proper information. To me the only way that the Incubator policy guidance differs from ASF policy guidance is: - Disclaimers - IPMC vote on releases on general@ - Allowing non-Apache legacy releases in transition. I agree that guidance would be helpful for distribution channels other than those Infrastructure supports, but that guidance should be at the Foundation level. Anything put out just for the Incubator may run into other issues in the future and could lead to confusion or conflict.

Re: [VOTE] Distribution guidelines for platforms
HI, > This lacks proper reference to existing Apache Policies and instead rewrites > it. There no rewriting here. If you want reference to policies does this work for you? "In addition to the Apache mirror system incubating projects may distribute artifacts on other platforms as long as they follow these general guidelines: • Releases must be placed in the Apache mirror system. [1] • Source releases and convenience binaries need to be made from IPMC and PPMC approved ASF releases.[2][3] • Where possible it should be pointed out that Apache project make source releases and convenience binaries are just a convenience for end user.[4] • Convenience binaries need to follow licensing policy and not include any category X licensed software. [5] • Convenience binaries should be signed and have hashes to verify their contents. [6] • Release candidates, nightlys and snapshots must not be advertised to the general public.[7] • Apache project branding and naming needs to be respected. [8] • It should be clear that the artifacts are under the ALv2 license.[9] • An incubating disclaimer must be clearly displayed where the artifacts are made available. [10] • All PPMC members must have access to administer the platform and the credentials recorded where any PPMC member can access them. [11] • Where possible these artifacts should not be referred to as releases.[12] • Where possible use platforms officially supported by Infra. [13] All of the above SHOULD be followed. The podling can ask the IPMC for permission to do otherwise.” Again this is to help podling comply with existing policy and does not rewrite it.

Hi, >> This lacks proper reference to existing Apache Policies and instead rewrites >> it. I think that this is outside the Incubator’s remit. Can you also explain why you think that giving guidance to podling on how to make incubator releases inline with other ASF policies is outside the Incubator's remit?

HI, > This lacks proper reference to existing Apache Policies and instead rewrites > it. I think that this is outside the Incubator’s remit. How do you think it rewrites it? Nothing as far as I can see is added only clarified and put into context for different 3rd party platforms. Legal helped in making this original draft of this document and had no issues with it.

-1 (binding) This lacks proper reference to existing Apache Policies and instead rewrites it. I think that this is outside the Incubator’s remit.
