[vote] Vince Tence and AAA

[Alex Karasulu <ao...@bellsouth.net>]

Guys,

I would like to kick off a vote on two separate items.
First I highly recommend Vincent from past experience 
to join us as a committer.  He has much to contribute
both in terms of his security knowledge and container
experience.  Looks like he and Paul already have kicked
off a dialog on these matters.

Secondly the AAA framework is a project that we will be
imbellishing and borrowing ideas from.  Perhaps it in
its entirity might not be directory specific but I think
we can come to these conclusions after building them up
and through experience with Eve and perhaps identity
management solutions built on top of Eve with AAA 
components.  The reason why I question the location of
these components is because I would like to see container 
support for these services as well as the use of them in
other Apache servers like James and Geronimo if those folks
get interested in them.  So having these components available
is a good thing.  However I know that we will be replicating
so much functionality here at the directory project in AAA.
Also Vince will be doing the replicating with us.  He's the 
guy who manages the project on sf.net and I'm the other lazy
person on that project.  So it just makes sense to bring it
here until there's enough meat to it to migrate parts of it 
other more relavent projects. 

So in conclusion here's my votes for the ballot:

[+1] Add Vincent Tence as a committer 
[+1] Engulf the AAAFramework community (Vincent Tence & Alex Karasulu)
     adopting the code that already exists there at:
     http://sourceforge.net/projects/aaaframework.

I think if the Apache Incubator people are ok and Vincent is ok with it
then all Vincent has to do is fill out a CLA form and a software grant form.

Nicola and Noel would be best to advise on these matters.

Alex

I am open to and interested in helping with identity/auth services 
leveraging directory services.  Whether this "belongs" in the Directory 
project is debatable, but I at least would be +1 to including it.

I need to understand better, however, exactly what the vision is.  I 
would like to discuss that a bit before we decide on incorporating the 
SF AAA project code base.  In particular, I would like to understand 
better what the goals are around standards support and applications 
beyond Avalon containers.

Nicola,

What's the status on Vincent - perhaps we all did not send
in our votes to the pmc list at the incubator? 

I just wanted a status so Vincent can start going to town 
on some stuff with me now that subversion is up and running.


Thankz,
Alex

                   *** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***

This is a vote for a committer, and as such it's different from a normal 
development vote. This vote has to be made also by the Incubator PMC 
members.

Please send your votes to pmc@incubator.apache.org and *not* on this list.

Next time, please send the request for a vote on a new committer 
privately to pmc@incubator.apache.org before proceeding.

We are discussing about how to organize this better for the future, so 
it will be better next time, sorry for the confusion.

Oh, and also sorry for this mail that seems strong, it's just meant like 
this to be read by everyone.

Thanks :-)
