Re: [DISCUSS] Leave apache and the incubator

[Josh Elser]

Thanks, Taylor. Just started a new thread for a dev-list VOTE.

We should start with a retirement vote on dev@. If that passes, we move on to a 
IPMC vote on retirement.

Once that’s done, there are a few administrative steps that need to be done. [1]

Yes. Let figure out the steps.

Should I help by looking at what actually needs to be done to retire?
Seems like we're back in the same exact state :)

I'd rather us focus efforts on retiring than writing yet another incubator
report that says "nothing happened".

+1 from me for "let's get things reviewed & merged before next report in a
month".

No activity has happened. The board reports are due soon, I would rather
not write another report to summarize no activity. We should start the
vote
to shut down now.

Hi Edward,

I am not aware of the difficulty in setting up the website or continuous
modifications to it.If you feel so, you may make a motion for an
alternate
solutions (eg. git pages, ...) and link to 'gossip.incubator.apache.org
'.And
Apache.org is allowing it, now. Similar to, https://apache.github.io/
incubator-heron/
It would be a one time task.

Hi Josh,
You have been very helpful so far.  And I appreciate that,
personally.Please suggest a replacement or ad-hoc help that can set us in
motion for the next few months, until we streamline.


Hi Edward/Team,
I am proposing a meetup event for kick start, again.A hackathon style,
that would add to our code base.
Josh came forward honestly. Thank you. Let us go through the rest of the
names assigned to gossip and find out their level of contributions to
gossip.And may be find alternatives or announce open positions.That
should
attract contributors to gossip.


Thank you.Sree

only to satisfy my obligations of being a mentor (and even that is
difficult for me, most days).

Hi Edward,
Allow me to introduce myself, as the creator of the current gossip

website with the help of Josh.

I prefer to stay in Apache.org.

Four willing people from this conversation, should be good enough to

take Gossip forward.(Josh, Chandresh, Ankur & Myself)

You summarized the work involved very nicely.  Thanks.Let's add (i mean

request) names to each of those tasks. And we are done.

"Delegate"; "Divide & Conquer"; "Epic, Story, Tasks..." .... always

worked historically.

Thank you.Sree Vaddi

Of the ones with reports, not much sign off.


So if your going to make a big deal about reports...time to shut down

the

entire incubator.

While I know this is tongue-in-cheek, the folks who help out in the
Incubator are well-stretched already. This isn't a new discussion that
is coming out of the IPMC -- I'm just actually trying to get Gossip to
honestly think about this (the comments about how using Github would be
easier made me think I wasn't off-base).
