Jakarta Apache Tomcat as a TLP ?

Personally, I think the Tomcat community is large enough and
healthy enough to warrant change to a TLP.

Now you're just being paranoid ;)
But then again, when I pass your Email through my
patented is-it-evil.py Evil detection code, it
decodes as "Bwaaa Haaaa Haaaaa Haaaaa"! Ack!! :)

Yes, Noel. i have the same feeling that Stephen has:
"it seems likely (based on emails to the thread from Tomcat
committers) that this PR release would have been a non-issue. "
So the tomcat committers would be doing it on their own terms. with no
one pushing them. Quote from Mladen's email:
"so many Chairmans and Directors with opposite statements"
Quote from Costin's email makes me think that they are ready for it:
"If tomcat would be a top level project instead of jakarta-tomcat,
most likely Remy would be the PMC chair. Acording to ASF rules, the
PMC chair is the ultimate decision maker for a project."
And i love the quote from Remy:
""more code, less politics"
So i'd say what is the benchmark for TLP? If the tomcat committers
want it and show the will to do it. Why not?
The only question in my mind is do they want it?
thanks,
dims

Dims,
The new TLP would be expected to address the same issues, and to work with
the PRC and other parts of the ASF, but they'd be more immediately
associated with them, too.

Pros:
- Tomcat pmc will be responsible for all its actions and decisions
- Report directly to board every quarter
- No meddling from outsiders (jakarta-general folks and others (read
jakarta pmc) from the peanut gallery :)
- Top Level domain - http://tomcat.apache.org/
- One of pmc members can become a VP
- Tomcat committers (via pmc) will have full control over all affairs
including what to name the thingy :)
Cons:
- Can't think of any off the top of my head.

this isn't tomcat bashing: it applies equally to all jakarta
sub-projects.
the jakarta pmc (including stephen) supervises every sub-project
(including tomcat) on behalf of the board. once a sub-project community
feels that they are ready to manage their own affairs, that's great but
there can be no question of self-governing sub-projects: it's time for
them to move on and up :)

Where did you see that from what he said? He correctly noted that moving to
TLP status has certain requirements, but no one has said that Tomcat does
not possess them. Quite to the contrary from most notes I've read on this
thread.

Great. Now this thread has moved from JBoss-bashing to dissing the entire
Tomcat community.
I'm looking forward to your involvement on tomcat-dev so that we can all
know that Tomcat has the proper adult supervision.

Currently, Tomcat developers are having to take time away from their main
task (coding) to answer management issues raised by Jakarta. This raises the
question of whether Tomcat is big enough and mature enough to manage these
issues itself, without the involvement of Jakarta.
For example, in this case, if Tomcat were a TLP, it seems likely (based on
emails to the thread from Tomcat committers) that this PR release would have
been a non-issue.

Well I'd like to know the pros and cons of Tomcat being TLP.
As I said in tomcat-dev, it was proposed when ant became TLP and at
this time the consensus was to stay under jakarta umbrella.
What motivate the move to TLP now.

Yeah, but that would result in some serious damage to the real-estate
with all the buildings disintegrating and such.
Maybe the cheaper alternative is to get an upgrade to business class?

Well, actually, if it would pause briefly on Wednesday, that'd be OK. I
have to fly east, and would rather not chase the horizon for 3000 miles.

My observation, not opinion, was in response to your expressing concern that
there would be outside opposition based upon you and Remy working for JBoss.
As far as I'm aware, no one has ever complained about a contribution biasing
the product for JBoss. And, as you had pointed out, there are two of you
and many others with veto rights. In fact, although I have not looked to do
a body count, my belief is that Tomcat is more balanced than Beehive, Derby,
Lenya or XMLBeans, to name a few.

I am not aware of any complaints regarding your technical contributions.
Only over your employer's attempts at self-portraiture. If anything, I am
more likely to feel sorry for you and Remy getting caught in the crossfire.
