Single person developed project

[Amareshwari Sriramdasu <am...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

Wanted to know if a single person developed project can get incubated in
Apache. Any doc links would be helpful as well.

Thanks

Hi Amareshwari,

please have a look at the Apache Incubator Proposal Guide [1]. Under the
section "Community" [2] you'll find the following statement:

"Apache is interested only in communities."

Does this answer your question?

Cheers

You need a community, even a minimal one, to enter incubation.

Best is to get people interested elsewhere first. Our maturity model
[1] can help shape your project to make it easier to incubate here
when the time comes.

The technical reason for "no solo projects" that already answer your
question
lies in the ASF governance model, which is based on meritocracy where all
who participate in the project are expected to be part of its oversite
(there is
no allowance for a "BDFL" (Benevolent Dictator For Life) management model.

Every decision has to be (at least passively) agreed to by a minimum of
three
members of the project, and this particularly includes releases which must
be
actively approved by 3+ positive votes.

Since a solo effort will not have the ability to perform a release, the ASF
has
no interest in creating stillborn communities-of-one.  I hope this
clarifies the
earlier answers.  But you certainly describe or point out the source code to
the project you would like to incubate, and solicit additional contributors
on
either the general@incubator or the dev@community lists.

Note that http://labs.apache.org/ may be what you're looking for if this is
your own project.
