[VOTE] Retire Milagro
All,
This is a call to vote to retire the Milagro podling.
Here are the documented problems:
- Development does not happen at Apache. This is confirmed in changes like
[1] where you are trying to repoint mirrors away from the Apache hosted
repository into a Miracl hosted repository.
- No board report submitted for months.
[ ] +1 to retire
[ ] -1 to retire
I'll leave this open for at least the next 72 hours.

Hi,
I emailed a draft for the report, let me know if it looks ok or it needs
changing (preferably send feedback to the Report Draft email, not this one).
Also since NTT wishes to take over such tasks, let me know if I can help
you get started submitting the reports in the future.
Thanks,
Nikolai

You are right about Milagro's potential to improve online life
(and thank you for commenting).
However, the vote isn't about Milagro as such, it's about whether
Milagro belongs at Apache. If it retires from here, it will
presumably continue at github, led by Miracl, NTT, and anyone
else who joins their efforts.

Hello everyone,
As quiet observer of this project, I would truly like to see this project continued as it provides a great alternative to commercial certificate authorities (CA's) for trust.
After the issues with Symantec (and other CA's) that came out last year, I think we are overdue for a functional alternative, which I feel Milagro has the potential to fill.

There is a good will to return the project to a normal track, and scope it around the crypto only.
Yes, there has been some infrastructural and procedural reasons for "forking" the crypto code outside Apache and commit the mass of development to that fork,
but the newest code will eventually be committed back to Apache together with reorganizing the repositories, which will revive the project.
I believe that a little bit more time is required to figure out the tiny details for doing the above, as some mentor's help will be required too.
Kind Regards,

+-0. Subject to change in either direction.
For a long time, this project has not been happening at Apache, and on that
basis retirement seems appropriate.
My past attempts to prod it have met with no response[1].
On the other hand, some more promising activity has recently been seen on
this list, notably with the arrival of NTT folks and an active newcomer who
I've only just realised isn't an initial committer from the Miracl team!
I have been meaning for some time to try once more to prod it and would be
reluctant to vote for retirement before doing so.
I've been doing battle with a failing internet connection, but I've now
parted company with the ISP in question.
So hopefully I'll now be fine to review all list traffic since [1] and post
thoughts within 24 hours.

At the time the repos were created, there was an issue with folks being less
than happy with the level of github integration then available. I touched
on this in [1], but should no doubt have been clearer. IF THERE ARE
INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES HOLDING THINGS BACK, THE TEAM NEEDS TO SPEAK UP!

Indeed, someone from the team needs to take responsibility.
In the early days I did too much of this myself, but it's not supposed to be
a mentor task!

Hi Nick,
Thank you for understanding the pull-request driven workflow. We, this
Apache incubator project, need management on operation at
github/apache/incubator-milagro because it is in the critical path of the
pull-request driven workflow. That is the reason why I am offering the
effort for the management as a participant of the project.
We appreciate if you are happy to take a part in the management too. I do
not think you are a man-in-the-middle because you have a role that connects
this project with the Apache eco-system. Let's go forward together.
Regards,
Go Yamamoto

Yes, that's normal. Though as much as possible of that forked work should
take place in public repos, too: that's what git is good at!
I'd expect most local private forks to have a lifetime of just a few days -
while the developer works through an issue - before either becoming public
or abandoned.

How much effort do you need to merge a repo with the old apache ones?
I mean it can be a couple of days 2 people? Do you really merge it or
simply delete and upgrade the new repo? can you use Travis-CI with apache
repos?

RE: [VOTE] Retire Milagro
Posted by Go Yamamoto <ya...@lab.ntt.co.jp>.
Hi Nick,
I agree the infrastructure problem you have pointed out have been blocking
the initial commit, and it blocks everything toward the release. To solve
the problem, I think all what we need is the operational management at the
official github repo. It is hard to solve the problem technologically
because Miracl's engineering team (and ours too) want to use CI tools, and
it means OAuth grants for access by the CI tools must be managed at the
repository on which they work.
We NTT request to allow for contributors to work at their own fork
repository. All the changes on the code happens at local fork repositories
owned by each contributor, however, the changes at local fork will be
pull-requested to the official repo, and the operation team at the official
repo will review the pull-request and merge it to the official.
If this workflow is OK for everybody here, NTT would like to take the effort
of operational tasks and managements on the official repo at least until we
reach the first release.
I sincerely hope this proposal would contribute in resolving the blocker.

+-0. Subject to change in either direction.
For a long time, this project has not been happening at Apache, and on that
basis retirement seems appropriate.
My past attempts to prod it have met with no response[1].
On the other hand, some more promising activity has recently been seen on
this list, notably with the arrival of NTT folks and an active newcomer who
I've only just realised isn't an initial committer from the Miracl team!
I have been meaning for some time to try once more to prod it and would be
reluctant to vote for retirement before doing so.
I've been doing battle with a failing internet connection, but I've now
parted company with the ISP in question.
So hopefully I'll now be fine to review all list traffic since [1] and post
thoughts within 24 hours.

At the time the repos were created, there was an issue with folks being less
than happy with the level of github integration then available. I touched
on this in [1], but should no doubt have been clearer. IF THERE ARE
INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES HOLDING THINGS BACK, THE TEAM NEEDS TO SPEAK UP!

Indeed, someone from the team needs to take responsibility.
In the early days I did too much of this myself, but it's not supposed to be
a mentor task!

Both Miracl and NNT have recently expressed intent to contribute to the
project in the mailing list, which should be reaffirmed in this thread.
As to the reports there was some confusion who will handle those, but I will
submit a report this Tuesday (this vote will probably be done by then).
If there is activity in the project that goes against the rules, I suggest
it is handled on a case basis with help from the mentors or the
contributors.
I'm case that the project mentors are somehow obstructed to work with the
project perhaps new ones should be elected.
Thanks,
Nikolai
