[DISCUSS] Accepting Android Client 2.0 (Fineract CN Mobile) into
Apache Fineract
Hello all,
In case you didn't know (which I think is the case for many of you),
longtime Mifos contributor, GSOC student and GCI mentor, Rajan Maurya
completed a GSOC internship this past summer under the mentorship of Markus
Geiss for Apache Fineract with the Apache Software Foundation as the
mentoring organization.
His project centered around building an Android Mobile Field Operations App
for the generation 3 architecture which we were referring to as Fineract
2.0 at the time but will now be Fineract CN.
All of his commits were made in a personal repository (since there was no
Apache Fineract CN repo yet) so they can't simply fall under Apache and
must go through the formal IP clearance process which starts with a vote
from the PMC before they can be part of Apache Fineract.
Rajan has transferred ownership of the repository over to the Mifos
Initiative so we will be providing the software grant agreement to
contribute if and when we get approval from the PMC.
So if you'd like to see the first incarnation of a mobile field operations
app for the new architecture be a part of Apache Fineract, please discuss
your feedback and or concerns and after this discussion we'll call for a
vote.
You can view the repo at https://github.com/openMF/Fineract-CN-mobile and
test out the latest APK from https://github.com/
openMF/Fineract-CN-mobile/wiki
The APK has been updated to point to the baseURL with the most recent demo
credentials provided by Markus:
> Tenant: playground
> Username: apache.demo
> Password ven3t1@n
A list of all the pull requests can be found at
*https://github.com/openMF/Fineract-CN-mobile/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed
<https://github.com/openMF/Fineract-CN-mobile/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed>*
and learn more about the project's original goals in his GSOC application

Cheers,
Ed

I'm going to close this discussion now as Rajan has answered all the
questions that were raised.
I'm also sharing the blog post he shared on Medium -
https://medium.com/@therajanmaurya/apache-gsoc-2017-blog-post-f2791dc136b5
- which outlines his full experience working on the mobile app during GSOC
I will start the subsequent vote thread.

All most library have the Apache V2 license but few have MIT license
like https://github.com/ShamylZakariya/StickyHeaders
This library have many license https://github.com/bumptech/glide.

All Pngs that we are using in this project, They have to Apache V2 license.

We should move to Apache Jira tickets. I will do it.
Please let me know the Apache Jira of Fineract-CN-Mobile.

Re: [DISCUSS] Accepting Android Client 2.0 (Fineract CN Mobile) into
Apache Fineract
Posted by Myrle Krantz <my...@apache.org>.
Hey Rajan,
Thank you for your contribution. I would very much like to vote +1,
but I need to check a few things with you first.
Some questions with respect to this potential contribution:
1 I assume Ed has already asked, but I'd like to hear it from you: Did
you want your code to be part of Apache Fineract?
2 What are the dependencies? Have you checked that they are Apache V2
licensed? Or licensed with a compatible license? Do you have any
concerns about the licensing here that we might need to address after
the code comes into Fineract?
3 Is there any IP in the repository which is not yours? (Code, pngs,
etc?) If yes, is that IP licensed such that we can use it the way you
included it?
4 I noticed that the project root has an Apache License V2 file, but
none of the source files contain copyright headers. Would you object
to us adding those headers if the project becomes part of Fineract?
5 Do you intend to continue contributing to this project after it
becomes part of Fineract? Are you willing to document this code? Help
others learn about it so they can collaborate with you?
6 I noticed that there were several issues in the git repo as well.
Does it make sense to move them into Apache Jira tickets? Are you
willing to do the transfer?
Best Regards,
Myrle Krantz
V.P., Apache Fineract
