Websites at podling.apache.org

Greets,

It seems that podling websites are available at both these URL patterns:

  http://podling.incubator.apache.org
  http://podling.apache.org

See for example:

  http://systemml.apache.org/
  http://systemml.incubator.apache.org/
  http://mynewt.apache.org/
  http://mynewt.incubator.apache.org/

I believe that resolving podling.apache.org is a mistake based on the
following pages:

  http://incubator.apache.org/guides/sites
  http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding

Shall we ask Infra to install 302 redirects?

And this issue brought up that both podling.a.o and podling.i.a.o started
working at some point and a large unrelated branding issue.

I've responded to the infra ticket, my hope is that they move forward on it
at this point.

I'm managing most of the transition to the ASF infrastructure on
FreeMarker's side, so let me answer. My intent was that until the
project manages to graduate, freemarker.org will continue to be the
"official" and only FreeMarker homepage (as it is for 10 years or so),
only the content comes from the ASF web server. Of course there we
would show the incubation disclaimer or whatever is required, like
perhaps an incubator logo. I was told that the
freemarker.incubator.apache.org URL is required to exist, so I said
that it should just redirect to freemaker.org. (We don't need two
homepages, one for normal users and one for contributors.) To my
surprise, when the domain was transferred to ASF, freemaker.org has
redirected to freemarker.incubator.apache.org instead. So I have asked
trademarks@apache.org if it's OK if it works the other way around
(freemarker.incubator.apache.org redirects to freemarker.org), and
after Shane Curcuru said the he sees no problem with that, I have
opened an issue for it on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10787. It's not like it
impedes development, but it's still unresolved, after two months now.
(I didn't know that this will trigger a such a long discussion, though
I suppose as you let in projects established elsewhere, this will come
up sometimes anyway.)

So... I stumbled upon this as every time I send someone a link to
freemarker, we get bounced all over the place (I've been a long time
freemarker user).

Where do things stand on this right now?  We let groovy keep its old URL.
Is it a major problem that both URLs work? Is it a problem if only the old
URL works? (btw, from what I remember, podling.a.o used to not work so I'm
not sure what changed).

FWIW, I saw tamaya listed on here. Tamaya has the incubator logo, so if you
feel its not prominent could you explain why its not prominent?

If we want podlings to have incubator branding, then IMO a logo would have
far more effect than a URL.

But I don't think non-compliance is a good argument against - should be
judged on branding criteria

Good points, I won't argue against them and the pTLP route imposes no such
branding requirements. All I'm saying is that *if* we're going to impose
*incubator* branding, then IMO the url is probably pretty ineffective and
not a big change and my proposal to make the incubator logo more prominent
would be better from a branding perspective. Having said that, I don't see
much point in the *incubator* branding requirement, was just trying to work

Yes, I think the brand VP should give an opinion. Presumably there was some
involvement when the policy was put in place.

Thanks, Niall.

For the time being, I'm -1 and going to play devil's advocate, but I'm willing

OK, now the can of worms opens up...

Compliance with the existing podling website branding requirements is poor[1].
What good is adding another requirement for people to ignore[2]?

If the website is at `podling.apache.org`, then why not the mailing lists,
too?

Some podlings find labeling releases "incubating" inconvenient for both
techncical and social reasons.  Why not dispense with that requirement as
well?

Some podlings find the requirement to brand themselves as "incubating"
inconvenient for marketing materials (including the podling website) because
the public may interpret it as implying an immature codebase.  Arguably, it
will help our podlings succeed if we simply stop differentiating them from
TLPs.  So why do we distinguish podlings from TLPs at all?

Finally, to what extent does the Incubator have the responsibility to involve
other entities at Apache (e.g. Marketing, Brand Management, Board) in
decisions to weaken podling branding requirements?

My perspective on all these questions is that a balance has been struck
between inconvenience to the podling, the right of the the general public to
know that a podling is incubating (and thus may put out releases that don't
adhere to all aspects of Apache policy, may not have a mature community,
etc.), and the reputatation of the Foundation.  And therefore, reducing
inconvenience to the podling, while a worthy goal, is not sufficient
justification on its own to disrupt that balance.

Better to seek out other ways to reduce podling inconvenience -- e.g. is it
possible to carve out some exception for Geode templates?

Thanks, Niall.  However, the general@incubator list is configured to
strip attachments, so the patch didn't arrive.  You probably see it in
your Gmail client because of Gmail's funky deduping, but the rest of
us don't have it.

I suggest either using <https://paste.apache.org> or opening an
INCUBATOR Jira. (Inlining the patch in the body of the email will

True, but I dont think the URL adds much to the branding. Having the
incubator logo prominent on the page would be more effective.

Well, I just looked[1] and many podling websites aren't following the branding
requirements.  And some bury the required elements, so they basically look
like TLPs.

At least a website URL with "incubator.apache.org" in it is something we don't
have to police.

The "status quo" is existing policy.  The temporary availability of
$(PODLING).apache.org websites is the result of a misconfiguration -- a
technical error.

If you do not like the proposed technical solution of installing 302/307
redirects, please suggest another technical solution.

If you instead wish to propose a change to podling branding policy, please
provide a patch for discussion.

Regardless, we need to do *something*.  It's not acceptable to leave policy
and implementation in conflict.

I agree with what you said earlier - "incubation should be rigorous and
short" - and that is possible for some podlings (existing open source
projects with a diverse, meritocratic community) - but much harder for
others (single company, closed source).

One reason for allowing the podling.a.o that has come up for geode is that
they need to relocate their Schema locations from their corporate site - if
they have to do it once to podling.i.a.o and then later to podling.a.o then
its doubly painful for their users. While we don't want podlings to get
comfortable, we do want them to succeed and to mininise the pain of
transition to their users.

As Rob said, if they're  following the other branding requirements, then do
we need to continue enforcing the subdomain requirement?

For me (and on behalf of Geode) I think we she leave the current status quo.

Discussion has quieted down.  I plan to claim lazy consensus in a
couple of days and address this situation by opening an INFRA Jira
requesting that redirects be installed per above. I'll post the link
to that issue in this thread.

Well, the transition is not that hard if:

a) during incubation podling.a.o redirects (302/307) to podling.i.a.o

b) after graduation podling.i.a.o redirects (301) to podling.a.o

right?

Right, at the link posted by Niall elsethread.  The implications of that
email snuck by me when it was posted -- it mentions DNS and email, but not
websites.  I guess I should have read it more closely.  In any case, if a
change in branding policy had been intended, that should have been made
explicit.

Since nothing has changed about the branding policy, what we have is an
implementation issue, and we need to figure out what actions we will request
of Infra to remedy it.

We have 46 podlings honorably striving to become Apache projects, but they are
not yet Apache projects, they are "incubating".  If they don't like that
distinction, they should hurry up and graduate.

Measures which blur the distinction between podlings and TLPs and make life in
the Incubator too comfortable are counterproductive.  Incubation should be
rigorous and short.

doing them because it made the transition to TLP easier for podlings post
graduation because their "final" URL was active from as soon as they start
(assuming they don't name change during incubation)

Pretty much any of the current crop of podlings can be resolved via
podling.apache.org AFAICT

e.g.

http://eagle.apache.org

This does look to be at odds with the branding requirements but provided
that the podling is following other requirements e.g. clear use of
Incubating in the name, incubation disclaimer etc I don't see that the
IPMC necessarily needs to continue enforcing the subdomain requirement?

They used to have a redirects. But you' re right, looks like not anymore...
So we should ask INFRA to get a 307 resolving the TLP domains.

Yes, INFRA arguments are completely valid. But rather than the DNS
resolution of the domains, I think Marvin was asking how domains are
handled at the HTTP level.
