[DISCUSS] Graduation
So..
http://kudu.incubator.apache.org/ is up - check [awesome]
0.9.1-RC VOTE(latest of many releases, [awesome], check)
healthy community, more dev@ discussion - check
What’s left? I think as a mentor it’s time for graduation.
The next steps if agreeable (let’s let this thread sit for at least
48-72 hours) would be:
1. pick a chair/VP - you guys and gals decide.
2. draft a resolution to VOTE on that includes:
* chair
* initial PMC - suggestion: keep PPMC assume yes, they want to
be on. Other considerations - include some ASF members on your PMC
so that you can get new ASF members and representation for Kudu.
I am +1 as your mentor - Kudu has done great.
Cheers,
Chris

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation
Posted by Mike Percy <mp...@apache.org>.
Proposed addendum to Jake's resolution here. Based on the prior discussion
in this thread, maybe the initial list of project members should be:
RESOLVED, that the persons listed immediately below be and
hereby are appointed to serve as the initial members of the
Apache Kudu Project:
* Adar Dembo <ad...@apache.org>
* Binglin Chang <bc...@apache.org>
* Chris Mattman <ma...@apache.org>
* Dan Burkert <da...@apache.org>
* David Alves <dr...@apache.org>
* Jake Farrell <jf...@apache.org>
* Jarek Jarcec Cecho <ja...@apache.org>
* Jean-Daniel Cryans <jd...@apache.org>
* Julien Le Dem <ju...@apache.org>
* Justin Mclean <ju...@classsoftware.com>
* Michael Stack <st...@apache.org>
* Mike Percy <mp...@apache.org>
* Misty Stanley-Jones <mi...@apache.org>
* Todd Lipcon <to...@apache.org>
Note: Some mentors only signed off on board reports, otherwise didn't vote
or send email. I didn't remove those mentors from the above list. Not sure
where to draw the line so this pass is conservative.
Also note: I don't know Justin Mclean's ASF email id.

Re: [DISCUSS] Graduation
Posted by Jake Farrell <jf...@apache.org>.
Had missed Mikes reply nominating Todd, since there where no objections to
that then based on the Apache Kudu incubating status page and community
graduation discussion I put together the following draft resolution for
review. Initial PMC members list was pulled from the status page, we can
modify as part of this discussion prior to calling the vote following the
steps outlined by Chris .
-Jake
Status page: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/kudu.html
Graduation discussion: https://s.apache.org/T8Uj
Draft resolution:
Establish the Apache Kudu Project
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best
interests of the Foundation and consistent with the
Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management
Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of
open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the
public, related to a distributed columnar storage engine
built for the Apache Hadoop ecosystem.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Project Management
Committee (PMC), to be known as the "Apache Kudu Project",
be and hereby is established pursuant to Bylaws of the

RESOLVED, that the Apache Kudu Project be and hereby is
responsible for the creation and maintenance of software
related to a distributed columnar storage engine built
for the Apache Hadoop ecosystem.
RESOLVED, that the office of "Vice President, Apache Kudu" be
and hereby is created, the person holding such office to
serve at the direction of the Board of Directors as the chair
of the Apache Kudu Project, and to have primary responsibility
for management of the projects within the scope of
responsibility of the Apache Kudu Project; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the persons listed immediately below be and
hereby are appointed to serve as the initial members of the
Apache Kudu Project:
* Adar Dembo <ad...@apache.org>

* Andrew Wang <wa...@apache.org>
* Binglin Chang <bc...@apache.org>
* Brock Noland <br...@apache.org>
* Carl Steinbach <cw...@apache.org>

* Jean-Daniel Cryans <jd...@apache.org>
* Julien Le Dem <ju...@apache.org>
* Michael Stack <st...@apache.org>
* Mike Percy <mp...@apache.org>
* Misty Stanley-Jones <mi...@apache.org>
* Todd Lipcon <to...@apache.org>
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Todd Lipcon
be appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Kudu, to
serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the
Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until
death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification,
or until a successor is appointed; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the initial Apache Kudu PMC be and hereby is
tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws intended to
encourage open development and increased participation in the
Apache Kudu Project; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Apache Kudu Project be and hereby
is tasked with the migration and rationalization of the Apache
Incubator Kudu podling; and be it further
RESOLVED, that all responsibilities pertaining to the Apache
Incubator Kudu podling encumbered upon the Apache Incubator
Project are hereafter discharged.

As part of drafting the resolution we need to start the discussion and vote
on for our project chair, thoughts/nominations?

Hey Todd,
Thanks. Yep, start a VOTE thread once:
1. We post a draft resolution to this DISCUSS thread. Leave the
resolution up for a least a day or two before the VOTE thread. If
no objections, or updates, or when finalized, move to VOTE thread
first here on dev@kudu. Leave VOTE thread open for a week, no rush.
Include resolution in VOTE thread.
2. Once and if affirmative VOTE on dev@kudu, then start general@i.a.o
VOTE thread, posting links to VOTE and DISCUSS threads on kudu and
summarizing tally so far, indicating VOTEs from IPMC and mentors. Leave
that thread up for a week too. Include resolution in VOTE thread.
3. If affirmative there, then take the resolution that passed both
community (dev@kudu) and incubator (general@i.a.o) and then paste into
board agenda for next board meeting.
4. Wait for board meeting and see if board approves - if so, graduated
and then follow next steps TLP guide :)
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for the votes of confidence, mentors :)
What's the next step here? According to
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#toplevel it's
traditional for a community to have a VOTE thread. Should we start such a
vote (either on dev@ or on user@? not sure how broad a community). Or is
this DISCUSS thread enough, and we should start to prepare a charter?
Should we notify the incubator list that these discussions are starting?
Thanks

+1 on TLP. Duh on Todd.
I like the idea of inviting Justin Mclean.

+1, this seems reasonable to me. Because they have not been participating
in the Apache process, I think it's justifiable to remove them at this
point in time.
OTOH, if any of those pre-ASF core contributors come back and want to
contribute to the project again, I'd personally be fairly quick to nominate
them for ASF committership.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mike! I'd be happy to be the initial
chair, though I think it's also not a bad idea to rotate the position every
once in a while. In my experience on other projects, having the occasional
new person in the chair spot has been healthy.

I'll suggest a slight tweak: we should have the initial PMC be composed
only of those PPMC and mentors who have been *active* during incubation.
That would mean dropping a few committers who were on the initial proposal
but haven't shown up at the ASF, as well as a few mentors who haven't taken
part in votes or discussion. Conversely, we could consider inviting a
couple of folks from the IPMC who _have_ been active in release votes, if
they'd like to join (eg Justin Mclean comes to mind).

Yes, awesome! Thanks for the vote of confidence, Chris. My thoughts:
1. I think Todd Lipcon is the natural choice for Kudu project chair. He has
demonstrated obvious community and technical leadership in the project. He
writes weekly blog posts for the project. He personally set up the vast
majority of all of the public-facing project infrastructure. He also
reviews and writes a ton of code.
2. It would make sense to me to make the initial PMC composed of the PPMC,
including all current mentors who want to continue to be involved in the
project.
