Hi，John:
1. Our mentor Luke and Willem will rectify IPMC membership
later. Thank you for reminding😀~
2. About another mentioned product ONS( is the abbreviation for Open
Notification Service)，which is maintained by Alibaba. Custom-built product for
enterprise and cloud application.It based on RocketMQ(RocketMQ not depend
ONS),adding some value added service, such as security, audit, web console
etc. We asked about RocketMQ brand thing with ASF chairman Ross when he
came to china previously，so we make another name ONS since then~
3. Sparse revision. hah~~~ It can be talked about from la long time
ago, our one core committer commit some sensitive data in Github because
of oversight. Some one day, our Security department supervisor found me,
“Why do you commit some company related secret data to Github, Why ?” The
end of the story is the same as you think. Because revision history, we
must erase it. So we reset our commit history using git command. BTW,
RocketMQ has open source since 2012. For simplicity in local community, we
also push our code to our local famous Git repository except for Github(But
it's unlucky, we also erase it in last scavenging activity). We want to
develop borderless open source and make the same release
pace within company. So, we comply with apache way, also hope some advice
from community to help us improve our product.
4. It was a slight overlook on my part. Derby and Apache Commons-IO
dependency can be removed(Its' useless in our latest version ). RocketMQ
uses JNA to solve the latency issue in storage, and we found that JNA also
is under the Apache Software License(
https://github.com/java-native-access/jna#license). If JNA is incompatible
with Apache License, we can replace it with JNI, actually we are planning
to do this.
Last but not important, we hope to more and more people join us, we are
always very happy to have contributions, whether for trivial cleanups, big
new features or other material rewards. For this purpose, we started one
issue thread(https://github.com/alibaba/RocketMQ/issues/353) to assemble
some enthusiast to join us. to make our community more active, to make our
service more attractive~
