pmc?

Hi,

Is this where I'd find the DB project PMC?

I have a couple of quick questions but don't want to spam the wrong  
list.

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the support!

What are the next steps? Should we submit a proposal to this PMC and  
then have you guys push it up to incubator?

I agree that the Tapestry folks would provide a great bit of synergy.  
Do you think they would be another PMC to draw mentors from? I'll  
ping them too.

Thanks again,

Geir,

My answer is in the bottom of the message that you quote. I am

might still be a good idea to be sponsored by the db project but with
the aim to graduate as a TLP (rather than a sub-project). 

> So how do we proceed now? Should we take the discussion on one of the  
> incubator lists?

things sometimes get a little heated over on the incubator general list
and some of the process is still being talked out so it might be best to
do a little preparation first. IMHO subscribing first and posting later
(after acclimatization) is probably a good idea.

a proposal describing cayenne and it's aims is needed and is probably
best written up first. might seem like a paper exercise but this is
actually a good chance for the community to take a chance to step back
and think about where the project's going and what it's long term aims
are. there's likely to be a measure of criticism once the proposal is
posted but this should be taken positively - it's aim is to improve the
proposal.

it's also worth reading what information is available on the apache
(http://www.apache.org) and incubator (http://incubator.apache.org)
sites. some of legal formalities required by the ASF might need to a
little discussion amongst the cayenne community. 

but don't be afraid of asking any questions on the incubator list: the
folks on the list will be able to give better answers than me...

Brian,

thank you for your support! Actually TLP would be our choice as well,  
and exactly for the reason that you mentioned. As Bill said we are  
not well-connected with ASF, so we started looking for support in the  
communities where we see synergies. And I am glad that we found it :-)

So how do we proceed now? Should we take the discussion on one of the  
incubator lists?

Good idea. Just sent a message to tapestry-dev:

msg04867.html

>> Why do they want to come to Apache?

Answering Geir's question... I elaborated a bit on that in the  
message to tapestry-dev above. Let me expand.

Cayenne has a five year history of providing strong and unique  
persistence framework. During this time we've built a vibrant  
grassroots community with zero corporate sponsorship. And while  
things look good for Cayenne now and can stay the way they are for  
any foreseeable future, we are always looking for ways to expand the  
community and to bring our ideas to a wider audience.

So why Apache? It just seems natural. Back in the day when we set up  
ObjectStyle.org, we looked at Apache as an example of how an open  
source collaborative environment should work. And we succeeded in  
building one, on a smaller scale. Now making Cayenne an ASF project  
is a logical next step. And note that we are taking our current  
community with us, not just throwing the code over the wall.

Also we are willing to collaborate with other projects if there is a  
natural synergy. For instance we recently announced that Cayenne will  
be implementing JPA (ORM part of JSR-220). So we are closely watching  
the related activities in Geronimo. I already contributed a number of  
JPA-related things to Open EJB and at the end the plan is to  
contribute Cayenne JPA provider to Geronimo. I am sure other  
synergies will become more obvious once we are in.

I think it is an excellent idea.  In a perfect universe, I'd charge in
and do what I could.  Alas, I've been over my head with work and

I can say the most important thing early on is to work as a

Looking for mentors to help with Cayenne move to ASF

Posted by Andrus Adamchik <an...@objectstyle.org>.
Hi folks,

First congratulations with the new Tapestry TLP status!

We at Cayenne project are looking to join the ASF, with the goal of  
becoming a TLP as well. The motivation is to build a wider user and  
developer community and grow new synergies with other Apache  
projects. There are a lot of new and exciting things going on in  
Cayenne. JPA implementation and remote object persistence, just to  
name a few:

http://objectstyle.org/confluence/display/CAY/JPA+RoadMap
http://objectstyle.org/confluence/display/CAY/Remote+Object+Persistence

and we think the move to Apache will only speed things up.

Now we are looking for allies, and more specifically 'mentors' within  
Apache. Note that Brian McCallister just volunteered to help in this  
role:

http://www.mail-archive.com/general@db.apache.org/msg00247.html

But the more people who support our cause within the ASF, the better.  
Historically we've been pretty close with Tapestry and there is a  
very substantial user base overlap, so asking Tapestry community to  
help with Cayenne incubation just seems natural :-)

Yes, we want to go TLP. I am just hearing/reading conflicting  
information about who can sponsor what. So whose help do we need to  
enlist?

Probably a good idea. I sent a note here since I was under the  
impression that DB PMC can be a sponsor of a TLP.

Re: Cayenne ASF proposal

Posted by Bill Dudney <bd...@apache.org>.
Hi Brian,

I'm happy to mentor. I'm not  a member of ASF (I'm a committer/PMC on  
MyFaces) and I thought you had to be an ASF member to mentor. If I'm  
allowed as a mentor I'd be glad to help out!

Do you want me to post to the general@incubator list? Or should it  
come from you?

Can you sponsor directly? Or maybe the correct question is, who  
should we list as our sponsor? I think we'd (the cayenne community)  
would be glad to go into DB to start if that is the best fit for now.  
We are open to where ever the best fit is. The TLP request is because  
cayenne is headed to be much more than your fathers OR mapping  
framework :-)

I added myself as a mentor and removed the DB PMC sponsorship  
language on the proposal page.

Thanks again!

Re: Cayenne ASF proposal

Posted by Brian McCallister <br...@apache.org>.
Having the DB PMC sponsor the proposal basically means the DB PMC is  
taking responsibility and it will become a part of the DB Project --  
which I don't think is quite what you want. I'm more than happy to  
mentor, personally, but that is me speaking, not the DB PMC. The ways  
of the incubator are more or less in slow flux as we figure out how  
best to make it work.

If you want the DB PMC to sponsor the project I can bring a proposal  
to the PMC, but I am not sure what it means to have the DB PMC  
sponsor it and have the project intended to become a top level project.

Looking at the proposal, I would suggest a couple small changes:

* Change the requested cayenne-pmc mailing list to cayenne-ppmc
* Let's see if the DB PMC is willing to sponsor (I am just the chair)  
before we make that part of the proposal =)


Bill, are you willing to help mentor? I ask as you initially  
contacted us here =)

We may also want to take this discussion to general@incubator --  
which gets a bit more traffic and probably where people can offer  
more advice!

Cayenne ASF proposal

Posted by Andrus Adamchik <an...@objectstyle.org>.
Brian, et all.

We put a proposal draft on Cayenne Wiki:

http://objectstyle.org/confluence/display/CAY/ASF+Proposal

As we are requesting DB PMC to sponsor it, I am posting it on this  
list before we send it to the incubator. I guess someone from DB PMC  
would have to initiate the incubator request. Please comment.

Thanks
Andrus

Cayenne might be better suited for TLP status, which I suggest  
considering as the DB project is starting to balloon =)

That said, I am very willing to support Cayenne personally, and  
suspect the rest of the DB PMC might be supportive as well. It would  
fit well in the DB project conceptually (which historically is more  
about database access than databases). I just am trying to go with  
the TLP preference vibe going around, and that Cayenne has been  
around a while I don't want to cramp their style.

So, I'm very happy to help mentor (the Official Incubator Role and  
the actual verb, as it relates to working within Apache) Cayenne, and  
would love to see this work out! It may be worth pinging the Tapestry  
folks as well as I have seen a lot of Cayenne use within the Tapestry  
community, and they are an energetic bunch.

Why do they want to come to Apache?

Thanks Thomas,

Would the DB PMC be willing to sponsor moving Cayenne (http:// 
www.objectstyle.org/cayenne/) to Apache?

I have been following the cayenne community for some time and they  
seem to do things the 'apache way'. They use the apache license  
already so the IP part of it should be straightforward. I've also  
been chatting with the lead/founder of the project about a move. The  
community is interested as well. I am asking because the community is  
not well connected to apache and they were not sure who in the  
community to get in contact with.

If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. I'd be glad  
to get the Cayenne community involved in the discussion if there is  
interest from this PMC.

Thanks again,
