Incubator Status

Description

"Derby" is a snapshot of the IBM's Cloudscape Java relational database. IBM is
opening the code by contributing it to The Apache Software Foundation and
basing future versions of IBM Cloudscape on the Apache-managed code.

To participate in the Derby podling, you should join the mailing list. Just
send an empty message to derby-dev-subscribe@db.apache.org .

The initial goal of the project while in incubation is to build a viable
developer community around the codebase.

The second goal of Derby-in-incubation is to successfully produce a release.
Since Derby is in incubation, such a release would not have formal standing;
it will serve as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate to the developers' and
incubator's satisfaction that this aspect of the project is health and
understood.

Project info

* The Apache DB project will own the Derby subproject, and the subproject will
follow the Apache DB PMC's direction. Significant contributors to this sub-
project (for example, after a significant interval of sustained
contribution) will be proposed for commit access to the codebase.

* The Derby sub-project's modules will be available as distinct and discrete downloads.

Incubation work items

Project Setup

Identify the codebase

date item
2004-08-30 If applicable, make sure that any associated name does not already
exist and check www.nameprotect.com to be sure that the name is not
already trademarked for an existing software product.
DONE If request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external
package, then ask the Apache project for the cvs module and mail
address names.
DONE If request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project,
then post a message to that project for them to decide on
acceptance.
N/A If request from anywhere to become a stand-alone PMC, then assess
the fit with the ASF, and create the lists and modules under the
incubator address/module names if accepted.

date item
2004-08-26 Check and make sure that the papers that transfer rights to the ASF
been received. It is only necessary to transfer rights for the
package, the core code, and any new code produced by the project.
2005-01-10 Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have been
updated to reflect the new ASF copyright.

Verify distribution rights

date item
2004-10-12 Check that all active committers have a signed CLA on record.
2004-10-12 Remind active committers that they are responsible for ensuring that
a Corporate CLA is recorded if such is is required to authorize
their contributions under their individual CLA.
2004-10-12 Check and make sure that for all items included with the
distribution that is not under the Apache license, we have the right
to combine with Apache-licensed code and redistribute.
2004-10-12 Check and make sure that all items depended upon by the project is
covered by one or more of the following approved licenses: Apache,
BSD, Artistic, MIT/X, MIT/W3C, MPL 1.1, or something with
essentially the same terms.

Establish a list of active committers !

status item
DONE Check that all active committers have submitted a contributors
agreement.
DONE Add all active committers in the STATUS file.
DONE Ask root for the creation of committers' accounts on cvs.apache.org.

Infrastructure !

status item
DONE Ask infrastructure to create source repository modules and grant the
committers karma.
DONE Ask infrastructure to set up and archive Mailing lists.
DONE Decide about and then ask infrastructure to setup an issuetracking
system (Bugzilla, Scarab, Jira).
DONE Migrate the project to our infrastructure.

Generally, the result of checking off these items will be a Software Grant, CLA,
and Corporate CLA for ASF licensed code, which must have no dependencies upon
items whose licenses that are incompatible with the Apache License.

Licensing awareness

DONE - Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and
acknowleged by all committers?

Project Goals during Incubation

* 221 subscribers to dev list (12.68 posts/day)
* 282 subscribers to user list (5.67 posts/day)
* Added one committer during incubation (jboynes)
* PPMC has adopted a plan to actively build the developer community

PENDING ISSUES
==============

None.

RESOLVED ISSUES SINCE LAST STATUS
=================================

[VOTE] Re-vote for Derby docs in DITA format

Jeff Levitt called for a vote to to decide whether to use DITA source files
for the Derby documentation, or to continue to look for other options.
This would allow us the project to create PDF's, single html files for each
document, or dynamically update indexes as opposed to the current HTML source.

Passed with seven +1 votes.

[VOTE] Reject tally of logo votes

Due to irregularities in the voting for the Derby Logo Contest, Jean
Anderson called for a vote to reject the tally of votes and restart
the contest at a later date.

[VOTE] to accept Derby Network Client contribution

On April 18, 2005, Satheesh Bandaram announced the availability of a new
open source Network Client Driver for the Derby Network Server, replacing
the need to use the IBM DB2 Universal JDBC Driver (JCC) as the client to
connect to the Derby Network Server.

Passed with nine +1 votes.

[VOTE] Network client driver should match embedded where possible for
implementation specific behaviour.

In order to create a seamless transition from embedded to client, Kathey
Marsden called for a vote to agree that the client driver behavior should be
changed to match the embedded wherever possible.

Passed with ten +1 votes.

[VOTE] to accept Derby UI and Help plugins for Eclipse

On May 13, 2005, Rajesh Kartha announced that the source for the UI components
for Eclipse that had been previously available as the IBM Integration plugin
for Derby would be contributed to the Derby project and called for a vote to
accept it.

Passed with three +1 votes.

Passed with +1 votes from Jeremy Boynes, Jean T Anderson,
Satheesh Bandaram, Brian McAllister, Mike Matrigali,
Andrew McIntyre, Kathey Marsden

[VOTE] to accept Bernt M. Johnsen as a committer
