[VOTE] Move Commons Math to TLP (again)...
Since it has been suggested that the previously passing vote should be
voided, I propose we vote again to move Commons Math to a TLP:
+1 - Yes, move Commons Math to a TLP
-1 - No, do not move Commons Math to a TLP
The vote will remain open for 72 hours.
Thank you,
James Carman

You bring up good points (aside from the "scratch" part maybe). I called
for a VOTE again because it was suggested that the previous vote should be
voided.
I'm open to suggestions. I'm just trying to keep this thing from dying and
I figured the Incubator could help us. We haven't done a great job in
building a healthy community around Math in Commons this far, so I'm
looking for alternatives. If it stays here, it is in all likelihood dead.
The one core person we have left has been shot down on almost everything he
has tried to do it seems.
I don't really have any dog in this race. I don't know any of these people
personally (I did meet Phil at ACNA last year and really enjoyed that) ,
but I do feel like we really haven't given Gilles a very fair time here and
in the spirit of a "do-acracy", I felt compelled to help, since he really
is all that is left. I have always felt like Math deserved its own TLP,
anyway, and we voted at one point to go there.
At this point, if the PMC really feels like leaving well enough alone with
Math, I'm fine with that and we can cancel this vote. I do feel, however,
that this PMC/Community is "broken" (for lack of a better term) and I have
felt that way for quite some time. I haven't felt compelled to contribute
code (only oversight) to this project for a long time. Obviously with
recent events, something is wrong and we need to come to grips with what
that is. I know others share some of my feelings, but I'll let them share
should they choose to do so.
I'll stop rambling. I'm sure this is enough to ruffle some feathers.

In another thread, I indicated what was my preferred way to get
back on track after the fork announcement.
I know that I repeat myself but I am *totally* convinced that some
part of what was CM can become one or a few bona fide components.
Getting after this "low-hanging fruit" (meaning: release *early*)
can have a positive effect.
At the opposite, letting code that could be released rot until we
can fix all the issues in CM, is depressing.
And this is mostly independent of a larger-scale effort aimed at
creating a TLP.
It's a pity that the only way to make any decision about the CM
codebase, that does not amount to not deciding anything, seems
to depend on taking this code elsewhere.
Whether here at Commons, in a new TLP, or in the incubator, my
proposal would be the same: rebuild a project around the competences
available *now*.
Personally, I'll not participate in a project based on the messianic
belief that subject matter experts (a.k.a. "Mathematicians") will
suddenly figure out that they want to contribute to Commons Math.
[For better or worse, CM never worked that way.]
The question is: Why do some non-contributors try to force
contributors to continue releasing all the abandoned codebase?
I understand that some people in the Commons PMC might want to
evaluate the usefulness of each new component.
But why not discuss each one proposed, specifically?

Does your +1 mean you want to be part of the new PMC or just are in favor of the proposal?
I’m just having a hard time trying to understand what we are trying to accomplish. What I would really like to see is for all the people who would like to be a part of the Math project to add their name to a list. Perhaps an incubator proposal on the incubator wiki might be the place to collect these. Once it has been established there are a group of people who really want to work on the project then they should decide whether they want to actually put forth the proposal to the incubator or just turn it into a TLP proposal to the board.

Agreed, I am not a PMC member, so you will have to pardon my naivety there with my attempt to vote. That said, I am willing to stand behind the project with Gilles in whatever stead is needed.

AIUI this is a Common vote, as such only PMC member votes are
considered binding.

Yes, I agree, but the discussion to gather those people together needs to
take place somewhere and since here its been framed as a vote, then it
would be good if those people who want to participate in a TLP effort would

Re: [VOTE] Move Commons Math to TLP (again)...

Procedurally speaking, I see no reason for this community to hold any
vote at all.
If a small group of people, including a foundation member or two,
wants to ask the board to establish a TLP, they may, by writing a
coherent proposal to the board explaining the situation. The board
might ask for a filled-in incubator proposal as input to their
deliberations.
Or, of they wish to go into the incubator to try to build a viable
community that will get TLP status in time, they can write an
incubator proposal.
The board or IPMC might wonder about the state of affairs here when
they receive one of these proposals, but it's hardly a matter that
calls for a formal vote here.

-1 (non-binding)
Reason for objection:
I think the framing of this vote is confusing.
1. There appears to be less ability to go to TLP than there was at the time the previous motion passed.
2. The discussion (but not the [VOTE]) speaks of going to TLP via the incubator. It has to be one or the other. Propose a podling to Incubator or propose a TLP to the Board. There is no assurance that a podling will graduate and it doesn't fit to make that a condition. One could raise the special circumstances at general-incubator, but I think that works best with something specific (but malleable) in hand.
3. The Incubator is reluctant to start podlings from scratch, as Niall observes.
4. It seems to me that the best first-step on whether incubation is feasible is to do the work to create an incubation proposal. This will require certain key factors to be addressed. Not the least is how the code base will be imported and, because it is from an Apache Project, how it will be left behind too. That definition can start here and then be refined on the general-incubator list where one will need to find a champion (perhaps), mentors, and a sufficient body of initial committers. It is important for those who would form the initial core for a podling to learn enough about how incubation works.

It made sense to me when there were 6 committers working on Math, but I
think given the exodus of most of those people to hipparchus then it would
be better to wait a while for the dust to settle to see what happens with
Math.
I also don't think the incubator is a good place for starting a community
from scratch (i.e. one or two man projects) - if you have a nucleus of at
least a few people, then it has much better chance of success.
So for me, I'm -1 unless there are enough Mathematicians who want to work
on the code to give it a chance as an incubator project.

We would take math through the incubator in order to build community around
it first. If we fail to do so, then we can decide its fate at that time. We
haven't done a good job attracting new people to math here at all. It has
always been maintained primarily by a select few.

+1 for a move to Incubator, rather than a TLP, as Math now needs to
find its new ground and direction, and in particular grow its active
developer base.
The incubator is great for reducing the distance for moving from
contributor to committer, and for letting everyone get a say in what
direction you are moving. The role of the incubator mentors is to help
you build the community, and while it's not always fun to get reminded
about what is missing here, the process of the incubator forces the
community focus (who are we) and not just code focus (what does it

Obviously you can do that straight as a TLP as well, but I think given
the fork happened, Math needs to grow more slowly back into shape, and
the Incubator should be good for that.
I agree on trying to write an Incubator proposal and start discussing
it on general@incubator.

IMO, the primary advantagae of the incubator would be, that the
project could have its own mailing list, etc.
Thus, it would be independent from the happenings at dev@commons, etc.
Which is, (IMO) exactly, what is required right now.

If this moves to Incubator you would become part of the Podling PMC and get a write to vote and get commit rights. That is one of the advantages of moving this to the incubator.

Your vote expresses what direction you'd like the project to take.
Do not hesitate to ask any questions that would help you make your
mind.
Your opinion is all the more important that the evolution of the
codebase seems to be blocked by people who expressly stated their
non-interest in Commons Math, and who factually did not contribute
to it for as long as I've been here.

While true, I think Dennis’ suggestion is more likely to succeed. Draft a proposal and modify it until you can get a large enough community around it to make it be something the incubator (or board) would approve. All of Commons doesn’t need to agree on it, only those who choose to sign their names to it.

I don't see the need for a consensus. If some people want to write an
incubator proposal, they can write it. If they can sell it to the
incubator, they have a podling. Meanwhile, the code remains Apache
Licensed, and anyone who wants to commit things to it back here can do
that. Eventually, there would need to be a split of java package names
and maven coordinates.

Brief side-comments from a lurker.
It appears that any kind of [VOTE] is premature. There needs to be a better way to find consensus, including more preparatory discussion and determination of an actionable direction.

"Incubator then ... " is not in the Power of Apache Commons to determine. How something enters and then leaves incubation is entirely for Apache Incubator to work through based on how the podling moves toward graduation. I'd be surprised if a podling proposal would be accepted with strings attached.
I suggest that the way the Incubator option goes forward at all is by starting, here at Commons, a draft Incubator proposal with the important-to-Commons aspect being identification of the code base and related artifacts that will be transposed into the podling on acceptance of the proposal.
It is somewhat orthogonal to that for Commons to determine what is done with the current Commons Math code base and related artifacts if the incubation proposal is approved by Incubator. I suspect that there needs to be some consensus around that before Commons would express any sort of advisory/consensus agreement from Commons unless the incubation is simply done as a fork to which Commons has no objection.
It seems to me that the best way to achieve clarity is by starting down this road, first at Commons. It is a reversible journey up to the point that an Incubator vote on acceptance of the podling passes.
> - Stay put
> - TLP
[orcmid]
The TLP case raises all of the same questions with regard to transposition of code and other artifacts (e.g., JIRA, web pages, dedicated lists, ....), suggesting that the incubation proposal exercise would be equally valuable for clarity before taking a TLP resolution to the Board.

There's no reason to distinguish those. It's initially the same, and
both directions would be open, anyways.

Do we need some kind of ranked vote with choices like:
Where should Commons Math go (in alpha order)?
- Commons Attic
- Incubator then TLP
- Incubator then Commons Math
- Stay put
- TLP
