It always was a SPOF, but now we are feeling it more because it is getting harder to keep online, harder to troubleshoot, and more sorely missed when it is unavailable. Unfortunately, JIRA is not a distributed application. There is one massive database. There is one process. Resource utilization exceeding the capabilities of a single machine isn't a problem yet. Traffic isn't too heavy -- 3-4 hits a second on average, from what I hear. But when you have to reindex, it takes hours, and when you have to restart, it takes several minutes. That sluggishness severely impedes troubleshooting -- a problem that could be isolated in minutes with a smaller JIRA instance and near-instantaneous restarts takes hours to solve with a database as big as ours.

I think that we should focus on the community, not the tools. The JIRA-oriented projects I follow have JIRA set to send all new issues, and all new comments, to the dev list. So all community members, and, in particular, all PMC members with a duty to supervise, see all the traffic. Meanwhile, some projects, with or without JIRA, just creep along making small, incremental, changes and bugfixes. There's no grand strategy or vision, and, as a result, not much to talk about most of the time. Bugs and requests come in and people deal with them -- or not. So, I won't claim that your disfunction scenario is impossible or never observed at the ASF. I will point out that bugzilla could be used just as effectively to create the same problem. As a mentor, what I care about is what happens when a new person shows up.

Apache Wink is a simple yet solid framework for building RESTful Web services. It is comprised of a Server module and a Client module for developing and consuming RESTful Web services. The Wink Server module is a complete implementation of the JAX-RS v1.1 specification. On top of this implementation, the Wink Server module provides a set of additional features that were designed to facilitate the development of RESTful Web services. The Wink Client module is a Java based framework that provides functionality for communicating with RESTful Web services. The framework is built on top of the JDK HttpURLConnection and adds essential features that facilitate the development of such client applications.

As an early remainder to podlings starting to draft their reports, here's how the IPMC saw your status as of the previous quarterly report in March [2]: IP clearance: Openmeetings No release: Bloodhound, Cordova, OpenOffice Low activity: Kalumet, Kato Low diversity: Bigtop, Etch, Isis, HCatalog, S4, Wave Ready to graduate: Flume Has the situation in your podling changed over the last three months? If not, what's your plan for improving the situation? Is there anything for which you'd appreciate more help? I'm especially worried about Kato as it seems like the project has more or less died even though the JSR 326 / Oracle trouble got finally sorted out. Is it time to retire the project or can we hope for a revival? I also wanted to start preparing for this reporting round in good time by assigning shepherds [3] already now.

Martin actually resigned from the IPMC and his mentor duties already in 2010, which puts PhotArk down to just a single mentor. Even though Luciano has been doing a good job, I think having more IPMC members around to help PhotArk would be useful, especially given that much of the community action is happening as a part of the GSoC program. Any volunteers? For an update on what PhotArk is about nowadays, see Luciano's post from a few months ago [1].

We're long on pages about initial podling setup, and not so long on others. So, if a podling has held a vote for a new contributor, what exactly happens next? And what web page should I have read this on, and if it is actually missing, I'll go put it someplace. </pre> Benson Margulies 2012-05-18T18:03:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.incubator.general/35771 <pre>Hi all, I would like to propose Crunch, a library for writing MapReduce pipelines in Java and Scala, as an Apache Incubator project.

More details about HCatalog can be found at http://incubator.apache.org/hcatalog The highlights of this release are: - Full support for reading from and writing to Hive. - Support for deeply nested maps, arrays, and structs. - Switch from StorageDrivers to SerDes. HCatalog no longer supports its own StorageDriver classes for data (de)serialization. Instead it uses Hive's SerDe classes. - Addition of JSonSerDe to support reading and writing JSON data. - The HCatalog binary distribution no longer includes Apache Hive. We now require that Hive first be installed. - The HCatalog source distribution no longer includes Apache Hive source. It now pulls the required jars via maven.

The question now to subject matter experts, what to do now? Is Apache ODE a good alternative? (Comparing Apples and Oranges perhaps). The software we create depends greatly on the use of (Zend) PHP, and we are in need of a component (service) to take care of (human) task handling. While we seek to improve automation (system to system) tasks in the future, the human part is important in a few months from now. Love to hear about any suggestions towards this. Kind regards, Ing.

They have requested to keep their name and reached out for trademarks if this is possible. Shane explained he would agree in this case if: A) the IPMC confirms the podling is retired B) the retirement guide has been fulfilled C) the community clearly note on their homepage that they are not longer associated with the ASF We have a successful vote for A). B) has been completed by me (pending some closing tasks from Infra) Assuming C) will be done by the community this vote is now to allow them to use their old name Zeta Components. Please note, no release has happened so far. Please choose: [] +1, allow them to use Zeta Components as name [] -1, don't, because This vote is open for 72h.
