Re: [ZODB-Dev] Re: Zeo Server as a single point of failure

Hi Shane. Not sure if you have been following the whole thread or not. 
In any case, I had committed to maintaining DirectoryStorage a little 
while ago and it will be releasing in the near future under a new 
license.  I think it is a good project too and I am excited about 
bringing it up to date :-). Once I have finished with the packaging, a 
bit of clean up and a first commit done of the updated source to 
sourceforge, I am hoping you may be interested in participating in ts 
development and co-maintaining it with me.


If so, I can provide you with access once the new code has landed in the 
repository. I am happy that there is genuine interest for this storage 
though it is not widely deployed. I have a continued interest in 
RelStorage (formerly PGStorage). Though I cannot commit to svn, I'd be 
happy to help with a buildout configuration that could apply the ZODB 
patch also. Had you though about putting into the z3c namespace. Many 
thanks.


Regards,
David

For the record: I am not at all associated with DirectoryStorage, other 
than I think it's a good project.

Hi Alan. I'm keeping the thread on the list since you raised the issue 
here. There are several repositories of zope related code that exist 
outside of svn.zope.org. I have made the decision to host 
DirectoryStorage at sourceforge on the basis that I have committed to 
maintaining and contributing to the project.


I volunteered to maintain the project since I saw it falling into 
disrepair following two years without a single commit to the code base. 
I have become the maintainer on the basis of an agreement with Tobi back 
in January. This agreement permits me to relicense the code under my 
choice of a ZPL or MIT license.


I cannot work with sources in zope repository since it would require a 
contributor agreement with Zope Corp. I am unable to enter into this 
agreement for the forseeable future. The zif collective 
(zif.sourceforge.net) is a way that I may contribute back to the zope 
community without the requirement of the agreement.


You don't identify the problem(s) which prevent you from entering into
that agreement:  we might be able to clarify or help resolve them if you
did so.


Hi Tres. Any discussion of the ZCA will have to occur another day. I am 
not seeking a way to enter the agreement or to resolve anything 
publicly. Toby and I made these arrangements a couple months back and 
have committed to ongoing communication.


It should be pointed out that users of the code will be getting releases 
from a package index in future. More important than the location of the 
repository is the fact the code will be eggified, maintained and there 
will be future releases.


Regards,
David

Hi Martijn. Probably not at this point. Unfortunately, the assignment of 
IP and contribution to open source are not synonymous. Perhaps when the 
relationship between ZC and ZF is clearer it could be reconsidered in 
future.

Just out of interest, would a contributor agreement with the Zope 
Foundation be any better for you?
