[VOTE] Accept Apache BeanShell in the Incubator
Dear ASF members,
We would like to propose BeanShell for the incubator.
The proposal draft is available at:
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BeanShellProposal,
follows below the proposal
Open is open for at least 72h and closes approximately on May 27th at 8:20am GMT
[ ] +1 accept BeanShell in the Incubator
[ ] +/-0
[ ] -1 because (provide a reason)
Many thanks in advance, all the best!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
= BeanShell =
== Abstract ==
The following proposal is about BeanShell, see JSR-274: The BeanShell
Scripting Language implementation.
== Proposal ==
BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable Java source interpreter with
object scripting language features, written in Java. BeanShell
dynamically executes standard Java syntax and extends it with common
scripting conveniences such as loose types, commands, and method
closures like those in Perl and JavaScript.
Users can use BeanShell interactively for Java experimentation and
debugging as well as to extend your applications in new ways.
Scripting Java lends itself to a wide variety of applications
including rapid prototyping, user scripting extension, rules engines,
configuration, testing, dynamic deployment, embedded systems, and even
Java education.
BeanShell is small and embeddable, so users can call BeanShell from
Java applications to execute Java code dynamically at run-time or to
provide extensibility in applications. Alternatively, users can use
standalone BeanShell scripts to manipulate Java applications; working
with Java objects and APIs dynamically. Since BeanShell is written in
Java and runs in the same VM as application, users can freely pass
references to "live" objects into scripts and return them as results.
== Background ==
BeanShell is a long living project born in the 2000 thanks to Patrick
Niemeyer initial effort, who is still maintaining the project, with
the help of Daniel Leuck and contributions voluntarily sent by users.
== Rationale ==
Currently there are no projects hosted by the ASF focused on providing
JSR-274 implementation, moving the existing BeanShell project under
the Apache umbrella would mean the ASF provides the JSR-274 reference
implementation.
= Current Status =
== Meritocracy ==
The historical BeanShell team believes in meritocracy and always acted
as a community. Mailing list, open issue tracker and other
communication channels have always been adopted since its first
release. The adoption in a larger community, such as Apache, is the
natural evolution for BeanShell. Moreover, the Apache standards will
enforce the existing BeanShell community practices and will be a
foundation for future committers involvement.
== Core Developers ==
In alphabetical order:
* Daniel Leuck <dan at ikayzo dot com>,
* Patrick Niemeyer <pat at ikayzo dot com>
* Pedro Giffuni <pfg at apache dot org>
* Simone Tripodi <simonetripodi at apache dot org>
== Alignment ==
Main aim of the project is to develop and maintain a fully flavored
JSR-274 implementation that can be used by other Apache projects that
need a Java Scripting Language.
= Known Risks =
== Orphaned Products ==
The increasing number of BeanShell adopters and the raising interest
for the JSR-274 technology let us believe that there is a minimal risk
for this work to being abandoned from the community.
Moreover, BeanShell has been already used by the following projects for years:
* Apache OpenOffice
* Apache Maven
* Apache JMeter
== Inexperience with Open Source ==
All of the committers have experience working in one or more open
source projects inside and outside ASF.
== Homogeneous Developers ==
The list of initial committers are geographically distributed across
the world with no one company being associated with a majority of the
developers. Many of these initial developers are experienced Apache
committers already and all are experienced with working in
distributed development communities.
== Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
To the best of our knowledge, none of the initial committers are being
paid to develop code for this project. BeanShell has already proven
its capability to attract external developers.
== Relationships with Other Apache Products ==
A number of existing ASF projects already benefit from BeanShell
implementation, including Apache OpenOffice, Apache Maven and Apache
JMeter. It is hoped that members of those projects will be interested
in contributing to and adopting this implementation.
== An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ==
Even if the BeanShell community recognizes the power and the
attractiveness of the ASF brand, we are absolutely aware of our
already established role in the wide JSR-274 community. Furthermore,
we are convinced that we can enthusiastically bring inside the ASF new
and fresh energies in order to improve our visions, insights and
knowledge about the other projects and, most important, to have the
possibility of enlarge our small community with talented and
passionate developers.

Subversion went to their own PMC instead of becoming part of an existing
PMC. That is one of the key differences here.

So, what do we do? Rather than complete this vote that I believe that we have consensus doesn't need to take place, should Simone simply start a graduation vote? I think Subversion was in the same boat but I don't recall what we did there.

Cool - as Ant said, if the group who's bringing this bunch of code to
Commons is willing to take full responsibility for bringing it in a
state that's releasable by Commons, I don't see what the Incubator
would bring.

Salut Bertrand, hi Ant,
>> ...Half the committers are ASF

>> Sebb anything new about doing releases...
the story so far is that at the time of bringing OGNL to Apache
Commons - exactly similar situation, all ASF people + a couple of new
committers - we had to pass through the incubator, bringing the new
codebase in a status that can be moved to Commons then request for
graduation.
Given that precedent, I didn't see any reason why I should have opted
for a different path rather than the Incubator :)

No, that option has not been discussed, given the past OGNL experience
I didn't even think about that. I just called for a VOTE to sponsor
BeanShell.
I am FWD'ing the discussion to dev@commons to evaluate BS joins
Commons directly in the Sandbox.
Thanks a lot for your feedbacks, all the best!

Makes sense, I agree with you that the Incubator doesn't bring any
more value in this case...has the commons PMC been asked about this
option?
I'm changing my vote to -1, at least until this is clarified.

Re: [VOTE] Accept Apache BeanShell in the Incubator
Posted by ant elder <an...@gmail.com>.
Its good that we can help keep BeanShell going by bring it to the ASF, but
my vote here is -1.
There was some discussion on this proposal back in April and one of the
last emails there was this one saying:
"If the intention is to have Beanshell become a part of Apache Commons then
the IPMC feels that Apache Commons should do the work there."
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201304.mbox/%3CCAAqLGLPwaqgtje3PWieVcPHtgub7GWC5LnazKdrUxpnwsGNLvw@mail.gmail.com%3E
There was no further discussion that i can see after that until this vote
now.
It seems pointless to me to incubate this. Half the committers are ASF
members so they know what they're doing already, we're not going to teach
Sebb anything new about doing releases, and the intention is to become a
sub project of the commons PMC so that PMC is going to be able to provide
any additional oversight that may be needed.
All thats needed is a software grant and IP clearance (which from the
previous discuss thread has already been done?) and start up right away in
Commons.
What is it that we're going to do here at the Incubator with this? What
value are we going to add?

I think its exactly the beanshell.org project which comes to us
and the jsr also refers to beanshell.org. Basically I expect Patrick
Niemeyer would donate
the trademark, as he is the founder of the project and coming with
the project to the ASF
If this is not the case it would be good if Patrick would comment to
avoid unnecessary infra work

Sorry if I missed a previous discussion - is the name ok for us?
Looking at http://www.beanshell.org/ and
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=274 the name BeanShell is used by
other entities, so we might not be able to use it as a project name
without an explicit trademark donation.
The podling can be renamed later of course, just wanted to make sure
the incoming podling community is aware of that.

I don't think we need a user list for the Incubation phase, and
Commons already has a user list (assuming it graduates).

Other Commons components don't use Confluence.
I don't think it's a good idea to use a completely different tool.

>= BeanShell =
>== Abstract ==
>The following proposal is about BeanShell, see JSR-274: The BeanShell
>Scripting Language implementation.
>
>== Proposal ==
>BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable Java source interpreter with
>object scripting language features, written in Java. BeanShell
>dynamically executes standard Java syntax and extends it with common
>scripting conveniences such as loose types, commands, and method
>closures like those in Perl and JavaScript.
>Users can use BeanShell interactively for Java experimentation and
>debugging as well as to extend your applications in new ways.
>Scripting Java lends itself to a wide variety of applications
>including rapid prototyping, user scripting extension, rules engines,
>configuration, testing, dynamic deployment, embedded systems, and even
>Java education.
>BeanShell is small and embeddable, so users can call BeanShell from
>Java applications to execute Java code dynamically at run-time or to
>provide extensibility in applications. Alternatively, users can use
>standalone BeanShell scripts to manipulate Java applications; working
>with Java objects and APIs dynamically. Since BeanShell is written in
>Java and runs in the same VM as application, users can freely pass
>references to "live" objects into scripts and return them as results.
>
>== Background ==
>BeanShell is a long living project born in the 2000 thanks to Patrick
>Niemeyer initial effort, who is still maintaining the project, with
>the help of Daniel Leuck and contributions voluntarily sent by users.
>
>== Rationale ==
>Currently there are no projects hosted by the ASF focused on providing
>JSR-274 implementation, moving the existing BeanShell project under
>the Apache umbrella would mean the ASF provides the JSR-274 reference
>implementation.
>
>= Current Status =
>== Meritocracy ==
>The historical BeanShell team believes in meritocracy and always acted
>as a community. Mailing list, open issue tracker and other
>communication channels have always been adopted since its first
>release. The adoption in a larger community, such as Apache, is the
>natural evolution for BeanShell. Moreover, the Apache standards will
>enforce the existing BeanShell community practices and will be a
>foundation for future committers involvement.
>
>== Core Developers ==
>In alphabetical order:
>
> * Daniel Leuck <dan at ikayzo dot com>,
> * Patrick Niemeyer <pat at ikayzo dot com>
> * Pedro Giffuni <pfg at apache dot org>
> * Simone Tripodi <simonetripodi at apache dot org>
>
>== Alignment ==
>Main aim of the project is to develop and maintain a fully flavored
>JSR-274 implementation that can be used by other Apache projects that
>need a Java Scripting Language.
>
>= Known Risks =
>== Orphaned Products ==
>The increasing number of BeanShell adopters and the raising interest
>for the JSR-274 technology let us believe that there is a minimal risk
>for this work to being abandoned from the community.
>
>Moreover, BeanShell has been already used by the following projects for
>years:
>
> * Apache OpenOffice
> * Apache Maven
> * Apache JMeter
>
>== Inexperience with Open Source ==
>All of the committers have experience working in one or more open
>source projects inside and outside ASF.
>
>== Homogeneous Developers ==
>The list of initial committers are geographically distributed across
>the world with no one company being associated with a majority of the
>developers. Many of these initial developers are experienced Apache
>committers already and all are experienced with working in
>distributed development communities.
>
>== Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
>To the best of our knowledge, none of the initial committers are being
>paid to develop code for this project. BeanShell has already proven
>its capability to attract external developers.
>
>== Relationships with Other Apache Products ==
>A number of existing ASF projects already benefit from BeanShell
>implementation, including Apache OpenOffice, Apache Maven and Apache
>JMeter. It is hoped that members of those projects will be interested
>in contributing to and adopting this implementation.
>
>== An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ==
>Even if the BeanShell community recognizes the power and the
>attractiveness of the ASF brand, we are absolutely aware of our
>already established role in the wide JSR-274 community. Furthermore,
>we are convinced that we can enthusiastically bring inside the ASF new
>and fresh energies in order to improve our visions, insights and
>knowledge about the other projects and, most important, to have the
>possibility of enlarge our small community with talented and
>passionate developers.
