Congratulations to everyone who has worked hard to make this project
what it is today. I'm very proud of everyone and honored to be working
with such a personable and talented bunch of OS developers.
Now the really hard work is ahead of us. The user community will
probably grow very rapidly once the word is out and we are setup at
http://directory.apache.org. This is what we wanted so let's give them
a great set of products they can trust and depend on.
Cheers,
Alex Karasulu

Oops, I've overwritten while copying and pasting! :)
Here's the modified version:
-------- BEGIN --------
Subject: The Apache Directory Project Exits Incubator
The Apache Directory team proudly announces the Apache Directory
project graduated incubation under the Apache Software Foundation
(ASF) according to the ASF Board Summary for February 23, 2005.
Our primary vision is to build an enterprise directory server platform
(Apache Directory Server) and its components where other Internet
services snap in to store their data within the directory so they may
be managed using LDAP. Those services include LDAP itself, DNS, DHCP,
SLP, UDDI, NTP, and most importantly Kerberos, which can integrate
with the services to provide full-featured network authentication
service.
Features of Apache Directory Server:
* Designed as an LDAP and X.500 experimentation platform.
* The server exposes all aspects of administration via a special system backend.
* Both the backend subsystem and the frontend are separable and
independently embeddable.
* Provides a server side JNDI LDAP provider which directly interacts
with the backend storage.
* Powered by MINA, a powerful framework for building Internet protocol servers.
Coming soon:
* Remote management via JMX.
* Java-based triggers and stored procedures.
The Apache Directory team is looking for developers and users to work
with the server and give feedback. Mailing list information is at:
http://directory.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
Check the Apache Directory project at: http://directory.apache.org/
The Apache Software Foundation provides organizational, legal, and
financial support for a broad range of open source software projects.
The Foundation provides an established framework for intellectual
property and financial contributions that simultaneously limits
contributors potential legal exposure. Through a collaborative and
meritocratic development process, Apache projects deliver
enterprise-grade, freely available software products that attract
large communities of users.
-------- END -------
I used Apache Directory Server instead of ApacheDS according to the
recent discussion about its official name.
Cheers,
Trustin.

Is it true that the *ideas* in SEDA are no longer present in the

1) I would introduce the product name (ApacheDS), in the 2nd paragraph:
"Our primary vision is to build an enterprise directory server platform
(ApacheDS) ..."
2) Spellcheck:
a) annouces --> announces
b) Fouindation --> Foundation
3) SEDA is no longer in use anywhere, and even though this PR doesn't
coincide with the 0.9 release, we should stop mentioning it. Perhaps:

Yes, it looks a little bit awkward. But the integration of LDAP
server and Kerberos server is quite an important feature. WDYT?
Could we make this sentence more natural?

I would personally recommend striking the "most importantly" in front of
Kerberos.
I would also change "directory server platform" to "directory services
platform"

All good points which should weigh strongly.
It does make good sense to let momentum build and then come up with a
name at the 1.0 if it seems it would benefit the project.

For the benefit of those who weren't involved at that point or who, like
me, have a short memory - we've been there already.
Here is a sumary of the reasons for the current name:
- - The existing name, Eve, had trademark concerns as did many others
within the project.
- - Anything LDAPish is out because the scope of the server goes beyond
LDAP.
- - There is already a strong brand in Apache, so there is not a great
need to develop a new one
- - Many of the names don't convey what the product is: Apache Directory
Server does. This would hamper recognition.
I personally don't feel another name change is going to bring a benefit,
but it would have the following detriments:
- - some poor sucker would need to trawl subversion -again- and change
all the site references, artifact names, directories, etc.
- - lose any recognition already gained from the 0.8 release
- - have to delay going public on the TLP until the name can be properly
considered, checked and implemented.
I wouldn't be adverse to a name change later if it is felt that will
strengthen the recognition of the product without any harm, and
something comes up that meets all the criteria above, but I think a
better time for that is probably around a 1.0 mark where there is
already momentum. But I also think sticking with Apache Directory Server
is just fine as well.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Brett

+1 to "Apache Directory Server" on all branding, documentation, etc.
with my PRC hat on.
And as fitz notes, -1 to using "Apache Tribe" - too confusing, not
necessary.

Yep I agree too. Let's use Apache DIrectory Server for the product
name. We just use apacheds for short as the email prefix and the svn
subversion directory for the server core.

Please no. Those are french names and they are quite funny :)
'Troupe' is mostly related to a company in the artistic sense, mostly actors
'Clique' means generally a bunch of mates, it's kind of negative.

I wear a tie and like "Apache Tribe" but it may not be taken as
seriously like other Apache projects which have great names like
Cocoon, Struts and Lucene. I think that "Apache Directory Server"
does explain exactly what it is but does not do much as a brand name.
It sounds little dull actually while many Apache projects have more
exciting names like Geronimo.
We should brainstorm on a good brand name which works well.
Here are my initial thoughts along the Tribes/Group concept found with
a thesaurus...
Apache Covey
Apache Progeny
Apache Clique
Apache Troupe
And they could be placed in the logo as...
Covey - The Apache Directory Server

How about a nick such as "Apache Tribe"? It looks appropriate for a
Directory Server, in a sense, though it would be better for "Groupware"
or Calendaring stuff.
I'm not sure if it will stick in Enterprise (i.e. tie monkey)
environments, though.

I second that, "Apache Directory Server" makes things explicit and
you're most likely to change to a war name later on.
ApacheDS looks like a datasource reference in a J2EE environment to me :)
What about a logo contest ?

Hurm. I don't think so--I suggest that you pick either "ApacheDS" or
"Apache Directory Server" and stick with one or the other. If you use

I wrote the announcement based on the previous one. Please read this
and tell me whatever needs improvement or is out of date. :)
-------- BEGIN --------
Subject: The Apache Directory Project Exits Incubator
The Apache Directory team proudly annouces the Apache Directory
project graduated incubation under the Apache Software Fouindation
(ASF) according to the ASF Board Summary for February 23, 2005.
Our primary vision is to build an enterprise directory server platform
and its components where other Internet services snap in to store
their data within the directory so they may be managed using LDAP.
Those services include LDAP itself, DNS, DHCP, SLP, UDDI, NTP, and
most importantly Kerberos, which can integrate with the services to
provide full-featured network authentication service.
Features of ApacheDS:
* Designed as an LDAP and X.500 experimentation platform.
* The server exposes all aspects of administration via a special system backend.
* Both the backend subsystem and the frontend are separable and
independently embeddable.
* Provides a server side JNDI LDAP provider which directly interacts
with the backend storage.
* Powered by Staged Event Driven Architecture (SEDA) which can handle
large amounts of concurrency.
Coming soon:
* Remote management via JMX.
* Java-based triggers and stored procedures.
The Apache Directory team is looking for developers and users to work
with the server and give feedback. Mailing list information is at:
http://directory.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
Check the Apache Directory project at: http://directory.apache.org/
The Apache Software Foundation provides organizational, legal, and
financial support for a broad range of open source software projects.
The Foundation provides an established framework for intellectual
property and financial contributions that simultaneously limits
contributors potential legal exposure. Through a collaborative and
meritocratic development process, Apache projects deliver
enterprise-grade, freely available software products that attract
large communities of users.

Cheers,

Thanks Justin. I'll start working with Noel on getting the site upto
directory.apache.org. Meanwhile I guess we can begin composing it if
you like while running it by everyone on the list. Then when the site
is ready we can decide to pull the trigger on posting it to TSS and to
slashdot. So exciting!
Thanks,
Alex

Sure. However, I think you should want to wait until the directory.apache.org
(or whatever) site is up and you have a proper home for people to learn more
about the project.
The point of any communications like this should be to increase participation
or visibility - and, hence, I think it makes sense to hold off until
everything is in place.
BTW, congrats! -- justin

I want to anounce this to TheServerSide.com and SlashDot. Would
announcing this kind of news (exiting incubation) to those sites be
appropriate?
Thanks in advance,
