Re: Podling Report Reminder - July 2018

I've been trying to be patient around this, but I think this month's 
incubator report must be "Gossip is going to exit incubation" (I'm not 
sure what the proper verb is here; I only know that "retire" is wrong)

We've gone through many months where the only traffic I've seen on the 
mailing list are the report reminders.

This doesn't need to be interpreted as "Gossip is a failure at the ASF" 
or anything of the such. It just means "It's not the right time for 
Gossip at the ASF incubator". By all means, we can bring it back into 
incubation if we get some more community traction behind the project.

There is a difference between Mentors and Shepherds. A shepherd is assigned for a reporting cycle to look into the podling to see how things are going. I was assigned as shepherd this month and have left my comments along with an email. Your mentors are supposed to provide guidance in the Apache Way. If your mentors are absent then that is a different matter. If you would like new mentors then please ask here on this list.

If on the other hand the Gossip community feels that the Apache Way and particularly the release process is too much process and not enough coding then that is your choice.

Dave

Also at one point the project was assigned a "shepard" who never signed off
on a single report even when the project was active. His first interaction
for the project was vote to moth ball it.

Please do give these examples. They may need to retire as well.

Closing down projects that have no activity and no ability to respond to
security reports is an ongoing effort. It isn't focussed just on gossip by
any means.

The real problem arises when a project is clearly inert but one or more
people pop up when retirement is mentioned. Then nothing happens.  Letting
go is good in those cases.

It's not "everyone" - Josh who's a Gossip mentor says:

You are right that some TLPs have little activity, but they also don't
use much volunteer energy beyond people who are involved in them.

Podlings, on the other hand, consume energy from the Incubator and
from its mentors, so we don't want podlings to stay inactive for long
- a podling needs to be working and growing towards graduation, to
make space for other podlings in a reasonable time.

Retiring from graduation does not mean failure - the Apache model does
not fit all projects and communities, there's no shame in continuing
work elsewhere if incubation is not progressing.

I don't know much about Gossip, speaking in general terms only.

I want to get this out there. I do not know why everyone is stuck on
gossip. There are some TLP that do not have activity for years and podlings
much older then gossip. I can give numerous examples.

There is a discussion of retirement process on general@incubator.

This is one of those cases where the Github code could be returned to where it was before. https://github.com/edwardcapriolo/gossip/

That is a common step if a project doesn't produce reports reliably or
seems to have a significant disfunction.

It isn't usually a stressor at the level it appears to be in this case.

It is definitely not harassment aimed at you.

I think that would be great to have fixed. It bugs me when I get emails and
have to drill in to figure out what's up. Of course, I haven't found time
to contribute a fix, so I try to be circumspect in my frustration.

My guess is that it would be the work of a moment to do the fix but many
hours to figure out how. Sounds like you are are as time crunched as I, so
it isn't happening based on your efforts or mine.

In any case, the fact that an email subject line doesn't get augmented
isn't actually a good reason to keep a project alive if it has really
should retire. Two completely separate issues.

Also what is the point of forcing us into this monthly reporting cycle? It
is kinda stressing me out. Is this a new thing just to harass me into
retirement.

Also I asked about this:

. Whats up with that? I mean its so worth wild to start this close down the
podling convo like every month, but no one can go out and fix the email.

We have been working for quite some time to desensitize people so that they
don't have a strong emotional cost associated with different ways to leave
incubation. That animus just gets people to avoid the right decision for
far too long.
