[all] [VFS] Where are the committers?

Hello,

It looks as though the committers for VFS are currently busy working on
other projects.  I would like to propose that a vote is held to admit
Mario Ivankovits as a Commons-Sandbox committer.

Mario has been active on the developer list for over a year and has
submitted patches for FTP and VFS.  More recently, Mario has spent
some time setting up a test server for VFS.

http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg38267.html
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27776
http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg38413.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg38412.html

There has been increasing interest in the VFS project over the last few
months, and it needs someone to be focusing on it. Mario has expressed an
interest in moving VFS forward and, I believe, is ready.

However, I am not a committer myself, so is there anyone who would be
willing to sponsor this proposal and send out the appropriate "VOTE"
email?

Michael

+1 from me. The sandbox has good oversight by the rest of the Commons
developers [who have time to check email anyway....sorry, been busy :( ]
and anyone who is working hard to help a slumbering project deserves a
chance to do so.

It is important that this doesn't become a nice backdoor way to get access
to the system, but as long as Mario has contributed patches and/or time to
the project of enough quantity to impress us, he should be allowed to
join.

I propose to make Mario a full jakarta-commons committer.
He contributed to the VFS component in the sandbox but also to the net 
component in commons proper.
Mario did also some bugfixing on tomcat.

PMC replied:
"No, it's a commons rule IIRC.  The Jakarta PMC has no such rule."

However, the vote for Mario as a full commons committers seems to be
passing.

this discussion is moved towards ASF politics so i'd like to politely 
bow out now :)

What change? What rule? I would feel more comfortable if I could see the
rule being asserted here. What I'm trying to convery is a sense that there
is no rule here other than that we make ourselves.

IMO this is a matter for the jakarta pmc. whilst we're part of jakarta, 
we should aide by their rules. the right place to lobby for this change 
is on the general list.

many senior ASF figures already think that jakarta in general and 
jakarta commons in particular set the barrier for committers very much 
too low but this is probably the last thing i want to say on this 
subject (i'm fed up of ASF politics).

We have quoted this line for some time, however I am unclear as to where it
comes from. The commons charter does not rule out adding committers to work
in the sandbox as far as I can see. A low bar of entry seems like a positive
to me.

IMHO we can't afford to be this strict can we? It certainly leads to a not
invented here attitude and the loss of good codebases. The line to draw
should be that new committers cannot create new sandbox projects (that way
leads to SF) but can join an existing dormant sandbox project.

hi michael

(please take this in the positive way in which it's intended.)

i'm very sad to say that the jakarta commons rules don't really allow  
new committers to be nominated for sandbox components: existing apache  
committers will be granted karma upon request but new committers should  
only be elected for work on existing components.

the jakarta commons team runs the sandbox on behalf of the jakarta pmc  
and the rules are theirs (not ours). so one option would be to repeat  
this request (or ask for an existing ASF committer to volunteer) on  
jakarta general.

the sandbox is a public place where existing apache committers can  
experiment. some experiment gather momentum and gain promotion either  
to the commons proper or elsewhere. in other cases the committers loose  
interest and the component languishes.

if vfs has good code but has lost it's community of developers then  
there are various options. hopefully an existing committer might  
volunteer to restart VFS development. with a healthy community,  
development and promotion could be reasonably quick.

but if this doesn't happen then the VFS community might consider  
starting to work on an enhanced version over at sourceforge. you would  
still be very welcome to continue to use this list for communication  
but you would have the freedom to develop and nominate committers  
without the rules we need here at apache. if you choose the AL2.0  
license then there's every possibility that the project could be  
reunified one day.
