[VOTE] DeviceMap to join the Apache incubator

Hi Incubator PMC members (*),

I've just reviewed the "[PROPOSAL] Apache DeviceMap..." thread and I
think all relevant issues have been adressed now.

Let's cast your votes to accept DeviceMap as an incubating project,
proposal is at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/DeviceMapProposal and
copied below as well:

[ ] +1 approve DeviceMap as an incubating project.
[ ] -1 reject (explaining why)
[ ] +/- 0 don't care.

This majority vote is open for at least 72 hours.

Here's my +1.

-Bertrand

(*) although only votes from Incubator PMC members are binding,
anybody is welcome to cast a vote


*** DeviceMap proposal ***
== Abstract ==

Apache DeviceMap is a data repository containing device information,
images and other relevant information for all sorts of mobile devices,
e.g. smartphones and tablets.

While the focus is initially on that data, APIs will also be created
to use and manage it.

== Proposal ==

Apache DeviceMap allows users to access a wide array of technical
specifications, images and other artifacts related to mobile devices.
Typical mobile devices include smartphones and tablets, such as:

 * Android devices from multiple vendors
 * Apple’s iPhone and iPad family of devices
 * !BlackBerry devices
 * Windows Phone devices from multiple vendors
 * Symbian devices
 * Devices with a small marketshare running Bada, Tizen, WebOS etc.

The list of Apache DeviceMap devices remains open to other device
types, as the mobile sector is a highly dynamic marketplace and new
device forms may surface which may not too well fit into a smartphone
/ tablet matrix, e.g. ChromeOS Devices.

== Repository Data ==

The exact structure of the repository data will be defined as the
project progresses.

At the moment we envision storing user agent strings and/or regular
expressions, properties similar to CSS Media Queries, images of the
actual devices, other attributes similar to what’s in UAPROF
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAProf) for example, per-country market
share data, etc.

Modern mobile applications often do not need very detailed device
data, so we will concentrate, at least initially, on basic device
features as used in html5 websites.

The W3C’s Mobile Web Initiative specs
(http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/DDWG/) will also be evaluated for use in
DeviceMap.

== Background ==

The initial motivation for Apache DeviceMap is to provide an open
repository of mobile device data, available to the general public
according to the Apache License.

== Rationale ==

We propose an open and community driven repository containing mobile
device data, thereby allowing for analysis of device capabilities and
feature sets. This is beneficial on several fronts, be it for software
developers, stakeholders/decision makers or analysts.

== Initial Goals ==

 * Define what form of data is valuable/required to setup a good
working repository
 * Define what image sets are valuable/required
 * Define a data retention policy, meaning when should data be purged
 * Collect existing data and setup simple procedures for users to
contribute and validate such data.

== Current Status ==

Proposal has been
[[http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201112.mbox/%3CCAEWfVJkuv5qmb%2B8JXuF%3D3Zx4dsUNXoMMRKLWpZu4Eh%3D9-vJESg%40mail.gmail.com%3E|discussed]]
on the Incubator general list, vote is ongoing there now (TODO add
link).

== Community ==

This project will form a new community, driven by the initial
committers listed below. We hope and feel that Apache DeviceMap will
draw interest and its community will broaden.

== Known Risks ==

For device images and other data, we’ll need to define acceptance
criteria and traceability rules similar to what Apache uses for code,
to avoid any legal issues.

Gathering data of any sort is a potential sensitive area and may
require good public communication or even public relation activities.

== Initial Source ==

The [[http://OpenDDR.org|OpenDDR.org]] team will donate their existing
source code to the DeviceMap podling.

Thanks! The best is to wait for the devicemap-dev list to be created,
and we can then discuss any plans there.

I'll announce here once that list is available.

I'm Idel Fuschini the owner of Apache Mobile Filter (
http://www.apachemobilefilter.org or
https://modules.apache.org/search.php?id=1787).
AMF started in 2008, is a module written in Perl using mod_perl and the
features are:

Device Detection
Switcher
Image Rendering

for more info: http://wiki.apachemobilefilter.org

In this moment my project integrates several device repository such as
WURFL, 51degrees.mobi and DetectRight. In this moment I'm working to
ingrate also OpenDDR where I was included as contributor, and I have
planned to delivery at the end of january.
So if you need a help to your project I will be happy to contribute.
