[DISCUSS] Components donation (was: Components donation)
Hi all,
Jérémy Reynaud, CTO and co-founder of KeepCore, proposes to donated 2 of
their components [1], a dual slider[2] and a progress spinner[3], is there
any interests accepting those components as part of the Flex-sdk ?
I personally think the DualSlider could be a great addition, maybe the
ProgressSpinner too, those components have been world wide tested since a
good amount of time already (see the first post of the previous thread).
Thoughts ?
Thanks,
-Fred

I don't think a VOTE is strictly necessary. A DISCUSS might be nice,
though. Also, we need to make sure all legal obligations are met and
all proper documents are filed. When in doubt, we need to check with
Apache's legal department, I think.

I agree. In my case I have example of it's use with view-source [1], a
github whiteboard of the modified flex-sdk [2], the code pulled out of the
components [3][4][5]. I could change to a diff if that would make things
easier.
So now we have steps up to this point. Should a JIRA issue been filed
first to allow for a local git branch to be created with that JIRA name and
centralize comments on the reviewing?
How will the reviewing process go through approval from there?

Showing the changes to the code would also help (via git diff or whatever) that way people can see the scope of the change and makes it easier to review.
Thanks,

I agree, I was doing minor changes, bug fixes and such just CTR. The
feature addition I have available, I put on the thread first (although I
did a sloppy job of providing a timely code example) thinking it was a good
practice to show before commiting. So waiting a few days for feed back
then posting sounds good.

Apache Flex is currently operating under CTR (commit then review). As a
committer you have the responsibility of making sure you have the legal
right to contribute any changes you commit, but there is no upfront process.
You check in whatever you want, and theoretically, your fellow committers
will review the changes. If another committer vetoes the commit then you
should revert the changes. Vetoes are supposed to be based on technical
merit.
Of course, if it were me, before checking in anything big or involving a lot
of work, I would probably start a thread on the mailing list first.

So that means IP donations require a vote and going through the IP
clearance. But what about commiters already signed the Apache agreement...
Does that require a vote or just a public showing and a general consensus?
Or are we voting on those too?

See my reply to Om. Apache does have a process as part of the IP clearance
that implies that a vote is necessary.
I think Greg said in his reponse that for small contributions via JIRA, the
process should be the commit process. You can veto (theoretically on
technical, non-subjective reasons).

I am sorry, but I don't think that is a vote is required. Can you point us
to some policy or discussion threads regarding this, where you think this
decision was made?
And what if a new component is submitted via a patch? Which category would
that fall under?

I'm guessing we are going to need these for the Flex site when we figure them out.
1. Steps / requirements for new components.
2. Steps / requirements for new Features that add onto existing components.

That the template here:
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html
implies that a vote is required.
Now if someone cobbles together a new component and submits it in JIRA, I
think that might not need a vote. But my interpretation is that stuff that
already exists and especially, has been made public before, probably does.

I am sorry, but I don't think that is a vote is required. Can you point us
to some policy or discussion threads regarding this, where you think this
decision was made?
And what if a new component is submitted via a patch? Which category would
that fall under?
Thanks,

Fine with me. FWIW, I think we do need an official vote. My current
