Incubator PMC/Board report for Sep 2015 ([ppmc])
Dear podling,
This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator PMC.
It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly
board report.
The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 16 September 2015, 10:30 am PST. The report
for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator PMC
requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to allow
sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, Sep 2nd).
Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC, and
subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you
should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting.
Thanks,
The Apache Incubator PMC
Submitting your Report
----------------------
Your report should contain the following:
* Your project name
* A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the project
or necessarily of its field
* A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation.
* Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of
* How has the community developed since the last report
* How has the project developed since the last report.
This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/September2015
Note: This is manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page
is created from a template.
Mentors
-------
Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the
Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the
project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator PMC.

If you use a separate branch, I suggest following the github convention and
using gh-pages for the branch name. That allows you to use github as a
preview facility for the site.

Re: Incubator PMC/Board report for Sep 2015 ([ppmc])
Posted by Hitesh Shah <hi...@apache.org>.
Digged into a few earlier filed INFRA jiras.
More info:
- https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/git_based_websites_available
- Example jira:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-9559
A questions for the community: I assume there is a single website for apex, where would you prefer to host the contents? Would an asf-site branch in the core repo suffice? Would you prefer a separate apex-site repo? If a separate repo, then the currently filed INFRA ticket should be modified to request for the new repo.
Once the repo is sorted out and the content pushed to it, a request can be made to INFRA to create the website and set up gitpubsub.

Thanks a lot Hitesh!
I have opened up INFRA-10249

some response there and continue my effort.

Yes. And this is working fairly well. Having the web site in markdown form
is very easy to deal with and avoiding the CMS system seems to help with
issues in updates.
The major upside besides avoiding issues is that pull requests can be
accepted from github for the web-site.
Re: Incubator PMC/Board report for Sep 2015 ([ppmc])
Posted by Hitesh Shah <hi...@apache.org>.
For Tez, the general approach we followed was using svnpubsub.
What this entails is the following:
- use an svn location to host the content of the website. e.g http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tez/site/. If the apex svn dir needs creation, one of the mentors can probably create one within the incubator dir.
- File an INFRA ticket to create the domain entry for “apex.incubator.apache.org” and set up svnpubsub to point to the svn location for the website contents.
- What we additionally do is host the source of truth for the content in git, generate the website as needed from markdown, etc and commit the generated website to the svn location. ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TEZ/Updating+the+Tez+Website )
There is gitpubsub support too ( which might be a better approach - this was not available when Tez set up its website ) so the contents could be committed to a git repo and have the website be setup to sync via gitpubsub. I believe Drill is using gitpubsub - https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=drill-site.git;a=summary.

Re: Incubator PMC/Board report for Sep 2015 ([ppmc])

I created APEX-90 <https://malhar.atlassian.net/browse/APEX-90> to track
progress on the incubator website. Thomas, I read through
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/sites.html, however it is not entirely
clear to me how to "initialize" the podling site. I have a feeling that a
new svn repo needs to be created under
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator, the contents of which will
somehow be pushed to this directory: people.apache.org:/www/apex.apache.org
(currently nonexistent). I am uncertain whether I have the necessary
credentials to create either one of those.
Chris (or anyone else in the know), can you provide any insight I might be
missing?

Andy,
The instructions for editing the incubator page are ->

You're right. It actually looks like quite a few still have an empty
list. :-)
+1 for the current report. I applied my mentor sign-off, and I added the
following mentor note:
Chris Nauroth: We are already seeing substantial public discussion on the
dev mailing list, both in terms of number of messages and the content of
those messages. Collaboration is going well.
Thanks again, Amol. Everyone, you've done a great job kicking off the
process!

Chris,
It is actually strictly <= 3 :) Some were just two, one had just one :) I
removed the two you listed. I think software donation work is done unless I
find otherwise. This is the first time for me, so I may be wrong.
Thks,

Re: Incubator PMC/Board report for Sep 2015 ([ppmc])
Posted by Chris Nauroth <cn...@hortonworks.com>.
The draft looks good overall. Thank you, Amol.
Scanning the reports for all incubating projects, I see a strict adherence
to the "three most important issues" discussion format, presumably to
reduce information overload for the IPMC. Apex currently lists 5 items
there, so maybe we should cut back in the interest of keeping it terse. I
suggest removing "Start using ASF Jira" since it's a routine
infrastructure requirement that we expect to complete via INFRA-10145
soon. We might also remove "Foster a diverse and vibrant Apex community"
for now, and bring it back in future reports. It's difficult to make
progress on community building until after the infrastructure requirements
are completed. Otherwise, it's too difficult to see who is assigned to
which issues, reviewing patches and committing code.
I also suggest that we aim to complete "Create an incubating web site" and
"Complete software donation" next month. Then, we'll be able to report
them as completed for the October report, which will be a good
demonstration of progress. I believe the software donation work is nearly
complete already, but I think we still need to find a volunteer for the
website work.
