[RESTARTING][VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc2
Dear community -
based on Justin's and community feedback I'm suggesting to restart the vote.
Current status:
binding votes:
+1: 2 votes (Henri, Jason)
-1: 1 vote (Luciano)
non-binding:
+1: 1 vote (Kellen)
The community is investigating feedback from Luciano that the exclusion
file is to broad and potentially missing files which can and must have
apache license headers not to be checked.
Regards,
Steffen

Re: [RESTARTING][VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc2
Posted by Aaron Markham <aa...@gmail.com>.
I think I misunderstood the 3rd party reference to imply Uber instead
of the 3rd party folder. I feel the same regardless, and defer to the
experts on what do do about the 3rd party folder.
As for the other license issues, we don't have to add license info to
readme or informational files. It is specifically called out as an
exception [1]:
"Other files may make sense to have no license header. Three examples are:
Short informational text files; for example README, INSTALL files. The
expectation is that these files make it obvious which product they
relate to.
Test data for which the addition of a source header would cause the
tests to fail.
'Snippet' files that are combined as form a larger file where the
larger file would have duplicate licensing headers."
I certainly wouldn't add headers to the markdown files as this would
create havoc in the website rendering until that is configured to
handle it. Besides, we're covered on these file as we have an Apache
copyright footer on the website. Also from the Apache page on headers
[1]:
"...Our web sites do not have an associated NOTICE file. Instead we
may soon be making the terms of such content explicit through a "Terms
of Use" or "Legal Information" link in the footer of web pages. At
this point, no action is required for Apache web sites."
I can think of a few examples where markdown files are not rendered on
the website, but as they're informational text files they're "obvious
which product they relate to" and therefore I think they can be
excluded.
I looked at the rat-exclude, and if pom.xml files (for example) are
supposed to have licenses, then we should probably add that and
tighten up the excludes for .*xml. But if we can do that in the next
release, that would be great. (I'm not sure how to gauge the
importance of these license headers vis-a-vis project usability.) Not
to muddy the waters, by why is the R package excluded entirely?

Re: [RESTARTING][VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc2
Posted by Sheng Zha <zh...@apache.org>.
Thanks for the detailed explanation and the help on educating the community, Michael.
People on the general list are spending time to help us get the licensing right. If possible, I think we should be thankful by treating their feedbacks more seriously, making the efforts to quickly fix the problem, and getting our release out when ready. Fixes for the issues found during the release are already going in as we speak [1][2][3].
One thing that the community can benefit from is the clarity on what file types we should remove from the rat-excludes file that we have [4], so that we make the project compliant with the release policy once for all.

Re: [RESTARTING][VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc2
Posted by Michael Wall <mj...@gmail.com>.
Hi Qing,
I see 3 options
Option 1:
Do nothing. I don't know how a RESTARTED vote works. Steffen counted the
binding votes from the before it was restarted. Unsure if that actually
works. There has been one +1 votes since the restart, but it is
non-binding as best I can tell even though it labeled as binding. To be a
binding vote for the general@incubator.a.o VOTE you must be on the
Incubator PMC or IPMC. Users on the MXNet Podling PMC or PPMC have a
binding vote only on the dev@mxnet VOTE thread. See
https://incubator.apache.org/policy/incubation.html#releases. In addition,
those binding +1 votes may need to be changes based on
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval which reads
"Before casting +1 binding votes, individuals are REQUIRED to download all
signed source code packages onto their own hardware, verify that they meet
all requirements of ASF policy on releases as described below, validate all
cryptographic signatures, compile as provided, and test the result on their
own platform."
Luciano's -1 was because the release does not meet the licensing policy at
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#license-headers
For this reason, I can not give a +1 on the general@incubator.a.o VOTE
thread. Sorry, that is why I have not voted.
Option 2:
Start another vote thread on general@incubator.a.o pointing to the original
vote thread on dev@mxnet.a.o and the canceled vote thread. Likely that
need to be open for 72 hours unless the IPMC agrees otherwise. I list this
because I don't know if a RESTART recounting votes from a prior thread is
valid. But this option has the same risk of not being approved for the
reasons listed above.
Option 3:
1 - Fix the header issues. I dug a little more, and the excludes file at
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/v1.4.x/tests/nightly/apache_rat_license_check/rat-excludes
is
overly broad and excludes files from the check that should have license
headers, again per
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#license-headers
2 - Start a vote thread on dev@mxnet.a.o. Doesn't have to be open 72 hours
according to Justin's note if the PPMC agrees. Expect this would need to
be documented on the mailing list, but could be part of the vote I think.
3 - Start a vote thread on general@incubator.a.o pointing to the new vote
thread from step 2. Will likely need to be open 72 hours.
Clearly option 1 would be faster, but the risk is the vote not passing.
Option 2 may not be needed if the restart in option 1 is valid. Option 3
is the most correct I think according to what I read in ASF policy. But
rushing a vote does have risks, such as less testing on the code being
released.
To make this more confusing, the VOTE thread is showing up on both
dev@mxnet.a.o and general@incubator.a.o. There is an additional +1 vote on
the dev@mxnet.a.o list that doesn't show up on the general@incubator, but
this too is non binding best I can tell.
Tough position to be in with Horovod being released. Nothing in ASF policy
makes allowances for such an event that I could find. Perhaps we should
ask for more clarification on general@incubator.a.o to get more thoughts
from the IPMC.

Re: [RESTARTING][VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version
1.4.0.rc2
Posted by Qing Lan <la...@live.com>.
Hi Michael,
Could you please guide how to proceed with this? Given that we have a possibility of announcing MXNet support in Horovod with their next release and this would help MXNet increase our visibility.
Thanks,
Qing

Posted by Michael Wall <mj...@apache.org>.
Team,
Here is my read on the situation. The vote has been canceled. Justin's
point was that a -1 doesn't mean you must cancel a vote for the reasons he
outlined. But here the vote needs to be restarted and the issue Luciano
found needs to be addressed.
That issue is that there are files in MXNet source tree that do not have
the required licenses headers,
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#license-headers. For
example, the top level README.md is missing the header
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/master/README.md.
Excluding 3rd party files from the RAT check is fine, but not files
originating from the MXNet repo.
It would be good to know exactly how Luciano ran the RAT check, cc'd. Here
is a link to the thread
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/51e9ab05edae2089c74a253000a92d5aa5c6406f54e5bd0a0b3c3879@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E

I disagree about 3rd party considerations. This is an ecosystem after all.
The distributed training story is quite nice with Horovod. Given my
interaction with tensorflow with Horovod and dynamic training with MXNet
and the kvstore, this new route is, IMO, easier to setup and manage.
I see the benefit for getting it out there sooner than later, and market
timings are important to the project and adoption. If Uber's announcement
drives traffic to MXNet, but then people can't set it up with a stable
release package, there's a lost opportunity for growing the community. Why
miss the opportunity for a RAT license?

Re: [RESTARTING][VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version
1.4.0.rc2
Posted by Justin Mclean <ju...@me.com>.
HI,
> based on Justin's and community feedback I'm suggesting to restart the vote.
That wasn’t my suggestion. I was just pointing out you closed the vote too early.
I'd suggest you fix the issue and call another vote on you dev list and then bring it back to the incubator to vote, you could probably do this fairly quickly (if the PPMC agrees) not observing the usual 74 hour waiting period as the changes are minimal and are likely to not include code changes.
Thanks,
Justin
