Incubator PMC/Board report for August 2010 (general@incubator.apache.org) (fwd)

FYI: Although missing from this email, the next board meeting is "Wed, 18 
August 2010, 12 pm Pacific" which means we need a Lucy Report for hte 
Incubator PMC by August 11.

Now would be a good time for Marvin & Simon to update the Lucy Project 
status page (Since nate and peter are still waiting for accounts), and use 
that as a basis for the board report indicating how the incubation process 
is progressing, and what the next steps are...

http://incubator.apache.org/projects/lucy.html

I, personally, have kind of lost track of what the next steps are, and 
where we are at ... other then giving nate & peter svn karam once their 
accounts are created, is there anything remaining in the process that 
needs "Mentor karma" ?

     (general@incubator.apache.org)

Dear Lucy Developers,

This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator PMC.
It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly
board report.

The board meeting is scheduled for . The report
for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator PMC
requires your report to be submitted one week before the board meeting, to allow
sufficient time for review.

Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC, and
subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you
should submit your report is one week prior to the board meeting.

Thanks,

The Apache Incubator PMC

Submitting your Report
----------------------

Your report should contain the following:

  * Your project name
  * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the project
    or necessarily of its field
  * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
    graduation.
  * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of
  * How has the community developed since the last report
  * How has the project developed since the last report.

This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:

   http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/August2010

Note: This manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page is
       created from a template.

Mentors
-------
Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the
Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the
project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator PMC.

Grr.... i'm pretty sure that since the new account requests are under the 
auspicus of the Incubator PMC that nate and peter will automaticly be in 
the incubator group ... for some reason i forgot about unix groups before 
(and was only thinking in terms of svn karma) otherwise i would have 
already requested the incubator group access for you and simon.

holding off on requesting it until name and peter's accounts come in so we 
can do it all at once (just in case) is fair ... in theory those accounts 
should have already been made.  i inquired on #asfinfra last week and joe 
said they were on his queue and were possibly going to happen that night 
... i kind of figured even worst case scenerio of a bunch of shit blowing 
up it would happen over the weekend, but now i have no idea again.

In the meantime: don't be shy to update the project file or create a 
page for hte website -- just send a ping email and i'll happily "svn up" 
for you on people.a.o every hour all day long (assuming i'm online).

I couldn't publish, so it seems I'm not in the 'incubator' group and I'll need
to ask.  

We're going to get accounts for Peter and Nate any day now, though, I expect.
Nate's probably going to be too busy in the near term to update the website,
but I'd like Peter to get this karma, too.  I hate going back to Infra with
tiny little requests over and over again, so if it's not a big deal, I'll wait

A non-thorough response - all looks good. I'm on both private@ and
general@. Marvin, 
you should see if you are able to maintain that status page yourself.
There's no
reason why you shouldn't. If you are in the 'incubator' group on
people.a.o, you'll
be able to do an svn up on the relevant directory to 'publish' when
you've changed
the source file in SVN. If you're not in the incubator group, as on

I'll svn copy the source right now. As I'm not longer a Lucene PMC member, I
don't have karma to svn move the codebase (Hoss can svn remove it after I
copy it).

My suggestion, add a redirect, and remove the site content from SVN in
Lucene-ville. We'll have a copy of it, in Incubator-ville.

No worries on this. Anyone with Lucene PMC karma (Hoss) can take care of
this by modifying this file [2]. A redirect rule like the Tika one would be
good.

There is an action item under Mentors:

    Tell Mentors to track progress in the file
    'incubator/projects/{project.name}.html'

/me clears throat.

"Mentors, please track progress in the file 'incubator/projects/lucy.html'."

/me marks said action item as completed.

OK, I've checked in the file with several items marked as completed.

I might technically have the karma to perform the svn migration for the
existing Lucy Lucene subproject codebase to the Incubator space, but I don't
believe that's my prerogative.  

There's also the question of what happens to the pages at
<http://lucene.apache.org/lucy/> -- should they redirect?  If that's the case,
then it would be convenient to perform the svn move, mod the existing Forrest
content and publish the new site, then ask infra to put the redirect in place.
So whatever the case, we're waiting on the svn migration for moving forward on
the project website.

Additionally, there's the following action item:

    Subscribe all Mentors on the pmc and general lists.

I don't think I know for sure that all Mentors are subscribed to
private@incubator.a.o, though you're obviously all on the general@ list.

I think that's it as far as items requiring Mentor karma.

I have not started the formal paperwork.  What I have been doing is assembling
materials and the list of people who must participate in the grant.  This is
something of an involved process, since KinoSearch is large and has been around
a while.  Prior to the current Subversion repository, it had lived in four
different CVS repositories, the first of which also housed proprietary data
for my employer at the time.  One of the things I've been doing is migrating
all of the KinoSearch pre-history into a single Subversion repository to
make browsing easier.

On some level, it would make more sense to start with the provenance audit and
only send out the paperwork after it is finished.  That way, if during the
provenance effort an attribution irregularity or surprise presents itself, it
won't be necessary to go back to everyone for another round.  For instance,
while going over the history, I've realized that since the current
KinoSearch::Util::SortExternal module began life as a stripped down version of
my CPAN module Sort::External, Sort::External's history has to be checked to
see if anyone else needs to be included in the grant, as the past contributors
to that module wouldn't necessarily have been listed in the KinoSearch version
control logs or issue tracker.  It would be most inconvenient to find that
someone had been left out after the fact.

However, without a grant, I don't think we can import a snapshot into Apache's
repository.  So it's a bit of a catch-22.

Anybody have pointers to mailing list archives where complex provenance
efforts like this one were undertaken?

Marvin: didn't you mention a little while back that you had started on 
the IP Clearance paperwork for the existing KinoSearch code base?  
Shouldn't that be a line item (either as a "making progress" bullet point, 
or as a "need assistence" bullet point)

(Note to other mentors: something that keeps slipping my mind is that even 
though "Lucy" was a Lucene sub project, the "big picture" issues with 
"The Lucy Podling" are the absorbsion of the KinoSearch code base and the 
KinoSearch community ... we need to keep that in mind while guiding 
momentum)

Marvin, report looks good +1 from me (I signed off on the wiki too).

OK, I've entered our report for August.

  http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/August2010#Lucy

I used OODT's Board Reports as templates, except that I made sure not to use
wiki markup.  ;)

  AGAIN, A REMINDER: *DO NOT* use any wiki markup, other than the = Project =

Yep, looks like he took care of it in r982830.

We need new Incubator mailing lists. That issue is here [1]. I've asked Gav
to move forward, barring any objections.

Also, FYI to all, Incubator board reports are filed here:

http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/August2010

Noel aggregates the wiki into plain text, and then sends that to board@ as
an Incubator total report.

Our Lucy one would be here:

http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/August2010#Lucy

Here are some examples of OODT ones that we've filed so we can get an idea
of the template. I usually just copy a prior report, fill in the new
content, and then save it to the wiki and send an email to the mailing
lists, asking for others to help:

http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/May2010#OODT
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/June2010#OODT

Chris
