+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The most important responsibility for mentors is to set up the
+podling source repository. Podlings can choose between svn and
+git for source control.  For git, podlings may use repositories hosted at Apache, or within GitHub in the Apache organization.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="sect2">
+<h3 id="set_up_git_repository">Set up GIT Repository</h3>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Requests for new git repos are done via <a href="https://reporeq.apache.org/">reporeq.apache.org</a>.
+This service will initialize a new repository, setup github mirrors and enable integrations for that repository.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Historically, the Foundation&#8217;s policy
+is to grant access to git repositories broadly to the incubator group,
+not narrowly podling-by-podling. So, once the repository
+exists, incubator group members gain access without further work.  Once
+the podling graduates, a dedicated ldap group will be created to manage
+access and only those members will be given access.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="sect3">
+<h4 id="set_up_svn_repository">Set Up SVN Repository</h4>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>If the podling chooses svn, you must create the
+repository and give read/write access to the repository
+to all the committers for the podling. This involves requesting
+new committer accounts and granting access to mentors and existing
+Apache committers.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Setting up a podling subversion repository has two steps: Creating the SVN space
+and configuring the authorization (in both svn and git).</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Create the workspace in svn. This requires commit access to the
+incubator svn repository. Podlings are given their own subdirectory
+of the incubator svn repository. To create the podling subdirectory,
+the mentor executes the svn command to create a remote directory: <code>svn mkdir <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/{podling}" class="bare">https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/{podling}</a></code></p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Create the workspace authorization in asf-authorization-template.
+This requires commit access to <code>infrastructure-puppet</code> to modify the file
+<code><a href="https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=infrastructure-puppet.git;a=blob;f=modules/subversion_server/files/authorization/asf-authorization-template" class="bare">https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=infrastructure-puppet.git;a=blob;f=modules/subversion_server/files/authorization/asf-authorization-template</a></code>.
+Please follow the procedures in the <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Git+workflow+for+infrastructure-puppet+repo">infrastructure puppet workflow</a> document.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Edit the file to add the podling repository in alphabetical order, e.g.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="exampleblock">
+<div class="content">
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>{podling}={mentor1},{mentor2}</p>
+</div>

+<p>The Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC) helps a
+Podling learn how to govern itself.  It works like a PMC but
+reports to the Incubator PMC instead of to the ASF Board.
+Initially, it is composed of the Podling&#8217;s mentors and initial
+committers.  The PPMC is directly responsible for the oversight
+of the podling and it also decides who to add as a PPMC member.</p>

+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>A private mail list, named private@<strong>project</strong>, lets the PPMC discuss confidential topics.
+<strong>Most communication should be on the Podling&#8217;s dev list!</strong>
+The private list is used only for confidential discussions that
+should not be made public, such as the suitability of a
+particular individual to become a committer or a member of the
+PPMC. See the ASF <strong>How it Works</strong> section titled
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#confidential">Balancing confidentiality and public discussion</a>.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The mentors should verify that all PPMC members are actually
+subscribed to the private list. Mailing list moderators can
+request the list of subscribers using ezmlm commands, and any
+subscriber can send a "ping - please reply" message to check
+who is actually "listening" to the PPMC list.</p>

+<p>Likewise, don&#8217;t post to both the Incubator general and Incubator private lists. Each member of the Incubator PMC is on the Incubator general list, so posting to general is sufficient.</p>

+<p>The PPMC does not have to fill out the report itself; the PPMC
+is just responsible for making sure that it gets filled out. In
+fact, it is better to discuss the report on the dev list and ask
+Podling developers to contribute to it. If Mentors disagree with
+the posted report, they should say so; otherwise, the Incubator
+PMC will assume that it speaks for the community.</p>

+- Is there anything that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board specifically needs to address?
+- Are there any legal, infrastructure, cross-project or personal issues that need to be addressed?  (Are there any stumbling blocks that impede the podling?)
+- Check that the project&#8217;s Incubation <a href="../projects/index.html">Status</a> file up to date. (Also provide the URL.)
+- What has been done (releases, milestones, etc.) since the last report?
+- What are the plans and expectations for the next period?

+<p>Adding new committers is one of the most important functions

+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>There are no ASF wide rules on how to decide when to make someone
+a committer, podlings need to agree an approach that works for them.
+Some ASF projects have a high bar requiring significant contributions before
+someone is considered, other projects grant it more freely to anyone
+who shows interest in contributing. Some projects use formal [DISCUSS] and
+[VOTE] threads on the private mailing list, others use a more lazy consensus
+approach. For more information see,
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#CommitAccess">commit access</a> and the ASF <strong>How it Works</strong> document, which explains
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#meritocracy"> meritocracy</a> and

+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The podling Incubator reports should document any new committers
+added since the last report.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Once the decision has been made the proposer offers committership
+to the nominee. If the nominee accepts the responsibility of being
+a committer for the project, the nominee formally becomes an
+Apache committer.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The proposer then asks an Incubator PMC member (typically one of
+the mentors) to follow the
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#newcommitter">documented</a>
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#SVNaccess">procedures</a>
+to complete the process. If the nominee is already an Apache
+committer on another project, the Incubator PMC member simply
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#SVNaccess">updates</a>
+the SVN authorization settings to include the nominee as a committer
+on the podling.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The proposer then directs the new committer to the
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/">Apache developer&#8217;s pages</a>,
+to the
+<a href="http://incubator.apache.org/">Apache Incubator site</a>
+and to the Incubator
+<a href="committer.html">Committers Guide</a> for important additional
+information.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>For projects which wish to have all
+committers also be PPMC members, the "Voting in a new PPMC member"

+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>It should be a goal of a podling to have all committers participate
+in the PPMC. The PPMC should take an active role in watching
+committers develop into community participants, identify those who
+are participating at a community level, not just a technical one,
+and approach them with an offer of PPMC membership.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Any member of the PPMC can propose a new member of the PPMC. The
+proposal should be discussed in private on the PPMC private alias,
+with a subject line of [DISCUSS] Joe Bob PPMC membership. If there
+is consensus that the proposed member is suitable, then there should
+be a formal vote in the PPMC private alias, with the subject line of
+[VOTE] Joe Bob PPMC membership.</p>

+<p>If the vote is successful, the proposer
+should send a message to the PPMC private alias, with

+notifying the Incubator PMC.
+The nominating PPMC member should send a message to

+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Inspired by the ASF’s “Powered by Apache” logo [LINK], the “Apache Incubator Podling” logo was created to maintain the unique identity of each Apache podling whilst undergoing development in the Apache Incubator. All Apache podlings and their communities are encouraged to proudly display “Apache Incubator Podling” assets on their Websites, documentation, marketing materials, etc.
+Guidelines for the appropriate use of the “Powered By Apache” logos include:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>The standalone “Powered By” Apache Incubator and “Apache Incubator Podling” circular banded logos may be used standalone with just the Apache Incubator logomark (denoting general use of an Apache Incubator podling) or in combination with an official Apache podling logo;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The official podling logo may not be altered in any way other than removing/separating the name(s) where applicable as approved by the associated Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC);</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The appropriate trademark symbol(s), such as ® or ™, associated with the podling&#8217;s logo --if applicable-- must be included in the logo;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The “Powered By” logo&#8217;s circular band format, font, and color must not be altered in any way;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The logo and/or its contents must not be rotated, animated, distorted, or otherwise altered, nor should it be used as a graphic element, background, or pattern;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The logo and/or its contents must not be translated or localized, nor should it have versioning numbers or other unauthorized words added to it;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The preferred background color for the logo is white, however, the logo may appear on colored, black, or image/photographic backgrounds providing the logo&#8217;s legibility is not compromised;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The logo may be sized and produced in multiple file formats as required by the Podling Project Management Committee, with a preferred minimum size of 80 pixels high in Web/online applications (where possible) to ensure legibility;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The logo may not, under any circumstances, be incorporated with a third party&#8217;s company name, product name, or logo(s), or adopt marks and/or logos that are confusingly similar to or imply improper association with The Apache Software Foundation;</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Third parties and programs are not allowed to use official Apache project or podling logos and/or create alternate logos or identifying marks relating to any Apache project without written permission from the associated Podling Project Management Committee and/or ASF Brand Management.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>We have a <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/#poweredby">trademark use policy for the "Powered By" phrase</a></p>
+</li>
+</ul>

+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>It is well understood that one of the goals of incubation is to help a podling understand how to
+build <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/#releases">ASF compliant releases</a>. This is why its
+mandatory to have at least 3 1 votes from
+link:/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Incubator+Project+Management+Committee%28PMC%29[IPMC members]
+review the releases (this should include your <a href="/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Mentor">mentors</a> but is not mandatory)
+for accuracy in compliance with the ASF and <a href="/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases">Incubator policies</a>.
+The podling community, of course, needs to be fully engaged in review process as well. Anybody reviewing
+the releases will provide the release manager and IPMC members with information about what is wrong
+with the release. The severity of the issues and whether they are blocking or not may be discussed
+but the ultimate guidance on where podling releases may get additional flexibility belongs to the mentors and IPMC members.</p>

+<p>A retired podling is one which has been closed down on the
+initiative of the PPMC or the IPMC for various reasons.  It is
+no longer developed at the Apache Incubator and does not have
+any other duties.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>It&#8217;s important to view this process as being the retirement of
+the podling community, not the code. It should not be implied
+that the code is not for use - just that it has no community.
+So long as the Incubator&#8217;s copyright requirements are
+fulfilled by the podling prior to retirement, its source code
+will continue to be made available through version control.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Retiring a podling is analogous to moving a top-level Apache
+project to the <a href="http://attic.apache.org">Attic</a>,
+but podlings receive a lower level of ongoing support&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;for
+example, podling websites are deleted outright rather than
+munged to indicate retired status.</p>

+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="deciding_to_retire">Deciding to retire</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>In the vast majority of cases, a podling decides to retire on
+its own and that decision is later formally ratified by the
+Incubator PMC; very rarely, the IPMC may act unilaterally.
+(This is deliberate mimicry of Board oversight of TLPs&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;the language and role titles change but in general the Board
+and the IMPC merely implement the wishes of the community.)</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Before the IPMC gets involved, a public discussion and
+community vote SHOULD be held on the podling&#8217;s dev list.  This
+ensures that all podling stakeholders are properly informed and
+have the opportunity to participate in the decision.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The final decision to retire the podling takes the form of a
+vote by the IPMC on general@incubator.</p>

+<p>Update the podling&#8217;s status page with a prominent message indicating when the podling retired: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="retired"&gt;The ${podling} podling retired on XXXX-XX-XX&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Has the copyright checkbox of the podling&#8217;s incubation
+status page been checked off? If not, try to resolve it.
+If it cannot be resolved, the podling&#8217;s source code must
+be removed from version control.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Delete the podling&#8217;s dist dir, so that its releases will no
+longer be mirrored:
+<mark>svn remove <a href="https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/${podling}" class="bare">https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/${podling}</a></mark>
+Any incubating releases will still be available via
+<a href="http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator">archive.apache.org/dist/incubator</a>.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Create a file RETIRED.txt at the top-level of each podling
+source repository.  This should contain something like the following:</p>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><mark>This podling has been retired, please see:&lt;br/&gt;<a href="http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html" class="bare">http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html</a></mark>#{podling-name}</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>If the podling has a DOAP referenced in the <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/data/projects.xml">projects.xml</a> file used for generating <a href="http://projects.apache.org">projects.apache.org</a>, remove the entry.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Open a "task" INFRA JIRA ticket entitled "Retire the ${podling} Incubator podling".  Open sub-tickets using "Create Sub-Task" as applicable:</p>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Close ${podling} mailing lists</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>(If copyright task completed) Make ${podling} version control read-only</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>(If copyright task &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; completed) Remove ${podling} version control</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>(If JIRA) Move ${podling} JIRA to "retired" and set read-only</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>(If Bugzilla) Close ${podling} Bugzilla</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Make ${podling} wiki read-only</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Turn off ${podling} automatic builds</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Update ${podling} Incubator SVN</p>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Add entries to asf-mailer.conf and send mail to cvs at incubator.apache.org</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Remove entries from asf-authorizaton - this makes the directory rw to the Incubator PMC.</p>

+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>After Infra modifies the website SVN permissions, disable
+the podling website by installing an <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ripple/site/.htaccess">.htaccess</a>
+file at the root of the podling website dir which consists
+of only a redirect to the podling status page.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>When all steps towards retirement are done, announce completeness on general@incubator.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Indicate that the podling is closed down in the next board report.</p>
