You're confusing commentary with -1 votes. I don't think anybody said "woah there, tex. look at this crap. you can't graduate." You asked for discussion and got it. Did anybody say these things were showstoppers?
IOW, get over it. Stop with the "woe is me" :-) On 10/19/06, Geir Magnusson Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm pretty resigned to the fact that we're not going to be able to present a resolution to the board this month for Harmony. I do keep a flicker of hope, mainly because I'm an eternal optimist. I do think it's a shame, because I believe the core values sought and taught in the incubation process are community and IP provenance, and I think Harmony has that in ample quantity. I think that those are the core strengths of any Apache project, the necessary toolset needed by a community. Sure, there are minor nits in a few missing license headers in some scripts or CSS files or whatever, and it's good to point them out because these details are very important, but I think we're missing the bigger picture here. These kinds of things don't reflect any defects in the community IMO - they're buried in the noise. It's just an oversight. Here are some other irrelevant oversights : There is no NOTICE file in /jackrabbit/trunk/textfilters, no license header in /apr/apr-util/trunk/build.conf, inaccurate copyright statement in /maven/maven-1/core/trunk/build-bootstrap.xml, no license header in /tomcat/container/tc5.5.x/catalina/src/conf/server.xml, no license header in /webservices/axis2/trunk/c/autogen.sh, no license header in /spamassassin/trunk/INSTALL ..... I was just clicking around more or less randomly to find things. I don't think the above oversights matter. I suspect that the projects are happy for the info, and will fix. Anyway, I look forward to getting beyond this issue, and bringing my lessons learned as one on the receiving end of the incubator graduation process back as a member of the IPMC. geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
