[VOTE] SOC temporary committer Anders Nyman
As part of the Google SOC. Google accepted the tomcat-reverse-proxy project
to be executed by Anders Nyman ( anders.nyman at gmail d ot com )
The scope of the project is to let Tomcat act a reverse proxy by extending
the balancer webapp. To make it easier to get the job done this summer while
not relying on an intermediate committer, I propose granting commit access
for only the following module:
jakarta-tomcat-catalina/webapps/balancer/
The apache id granted would be prefixed with soc and be temporary. A CLA has
already been signed and submitted. The vote is for commit access only for the
module listed above. Voting rights will not be granted.

Ok, so if we say it's the mentor's responsability, then it should be
fine. I'll let the persons I'm mentoring know about the infrstructure we
chose, then.

Exactly the point; there were no SoC participants who did not
have mentors. If this slides into the Tomcat CVS, the mentor
will help with calling the vote, following procedures, etc.

No; I don't think anyone is asking for the SoC participants to
have live access on projects that have strong traditions of
merit-before-commit privileges. Some projects are much loser
granting commit, such projects would probably just add another
committer for the summer.

Or merging back the outcome with history.
I just wanted to point out three other things;
* it's really much easier if the sandbox is in svn:, such
users don't need accounts on a box.
* no matter if cvs or svn, the sandbox commits must
be broadcast to jakarta-module-{component}-cvs@apache...
read or ignore them as you please. And please don't
complain about the outcome if you didn't feel like actually
following the progress :)
* development discussion under the tomcat umbrella should
occur on tomcat-dev@jakarta, the whole point is for the
participants to follow the day to day life of a project,
and be welcome to put forward proposals and accept feedback.

Well if Tim wants to mentor that project, then fine with me.
I'm sure he will ensure the integrity of the Tomcat source
outside that 'sandbox' repository.
If the project will have access and modify the files outside
that repository, I'll be strongly against that.
I'm sure the Tim will find a solution for a files that needs to
be changed and that are are of the core, by simply mirroring
them to the sandbox repository or something similar.

Mladen.

The ASF didn't agree with Google that 'we need more code'
(many projects seem overwhelmed at times by the amount of code
they manage already, no slight intended...) The ASF agreed that
Open Source needs to continue to grow in contributors.
The only way to grow more contributors is to have them learn
in-place. The mentor's job is to help them set up, avoid the
usual foibles, help them participate in the community, and do
a bit of steering of the project. Because the entire pace is
'accelerated' it is humanistically challenging, but far from
impossible to bring an individual up to speed over a month or
few.
So it's unusual, and we aren't handing away keys to the entire
kingdom. But setting up a sandbox (not your problem, it's the
mentors) and watching the progress (if it scratches your itch)
is not an imposition on the individual project communities.

I don't agree with you. The Tomcat is not place for some
'sandbox' projects.
If the ASF have some agreement with Google then it should
have created a 'SoC Google sandbox' not trying to force
every project to create a 'Google sandbox'.
Again, I have nothing against the effort or goals or ....

It's important for students involved with SoC to learn to use
the tools of our organization; and it's equally important that
we capture the history and evolution of the code, from its
infancy through the process of peer review. A code dump isn't
what we are looking for, and the code should be developed
incrementally with peer/mentor review.
-1 to any SoC happening outside of Tomcat's purview. +1 to
creating a sandbox for this project so the effort can be
merged back in, trivially, if and when it's successful (that
includes successful peer review, the usual 3 +1's etc.)

IMO the reverse proxy is a good thing to be done, and Tomcat can
benefit from it. I doubt if the balancer is a good place for such
addition.
Also I agree with Yoav. If the code is good, and if it works I see
no reason why not including it in the code.
I have developed, and I am developing the majority of the code
without being connected to the CVS all the time.

Mladen.

Given all the comments, I think we'll go with the path of least resistance
and use a SF account. Then when and if the time comes, a merge can go back
into Tomcat if there is a desire.

There are a few ways this could be handled, and this seems the easiest.
I have had satisfactory email discussions with the two students I plan
to mentor on Jasper, so I feel confident they will not screw things up
(at least not too much ;)).
I will propose them as temp committers as well if the vote passes.

Probably the best is to create a sourceforge project and when the code is mature
enough incubate it.

Commit privileges are earned with merit only. All the above caveats are
helpful, but circumvent the core issue. I gladly volunteer to help review,
comment, and commit Anders' contributions as appropriate. If/when the
contributions are of such quality as to merit commitership, I'll also gladly
start a vote and +1 it. But that's not the case yet, a good student
application notwithstanding.
(These opinions have been raised and explored more on code-awards@apache,
and different projects have come up with different approaches).
