Re: ASF on Redbubble

2024-02-23 Thread Mark Thomas

All,

It isn't looking good. Redbubble have denied the suspension appeal and 
still haven't explained why the account has been suspended. I've asked 
but I am not sure I am going to get a response.


I think we need to start looking for alternative services.

Suggestions welcome.

I haven't informed the PMCs using Redbubble yet. I'll do that if my 
request for an explanation of why the account was suspended gets nowhere.

Hey Mark,
I am unable to find the ComDev store  on Redbubble at all.
My previous orders from ComDev are gone (or I ordered from the wrong
people in the recent years).

So if you have a link for me, would be great :)


Sigh. Redbubble have suspended our account. I'll see what I can do to 
fix that.

Hi all,

Hopefully this list is the best place for this.

I have ordered several OpenNLP shirts in the past from Redbubble. I
did a
recent order for OpenNLP, Airflow, Solr, and NiFi shirts (can never
have
enough, right?) and RedBubble canceled the OpenNLP and Airflow ones
due to
Redbubble’s IP/Publicity Rights Policy [1].


I only see Solr in the ComDev store. It may be the case that
RedBubble
is (finally) taking steps against sellers that sell items using logos
they don't have the rights to. Last time I went looking there were a
LOT
of items with logos for commercial software. You might have got
caught
up in that.


I just wanted to bring it to the ASF's attention. Is Redbubble
still the
place to get ASF swag?


It is the place ComDev maintains although some projects may have set
up
alternatives.

The simplest solution may be to get those PMCs to request that the
relevant logos are added to the ComDev store. It just needs an email
from someone on the PMC to this list confirming that the PMC would
like
the logo added.

Query about the GitHub statistics for Lucene

2024-02-23 Thread Chris Hegarty
Hi,

I have a query about the GitHub statistics that are being generated the Lucene 
project [1]. They appear to be not accurate, or at least something is not quite 
right with them.

For example, I (as well as many other project members) opened several issues 
and PRs in Jan and Feb of 2024, but the graphs show no activity [2].

Can someone please take a look at why this might be the case, or redirect me to 
the right place where I can further understand how to resolve this.

Thanks,
-Chris. (Lucene PMC Chair)

   It's very difficult to review the PR, as it appears to have a lot of 
unrelated changes.
   
   It would be better to make separate changes in separate commits, otherwise 
the history is very difficult to follow.

I've not had a chance to review carefully because I'm traveling but I love

that doesn't work, I see no risk in moving forward with this. Thanks!

   Seems that Advisor is the result of all the discussions that happened - this 
is one place where it has not been updated.
   
   I also removed the section about "Why the name" - because Advisor does not 
need an explanation (which on its own is a sign that this is a better name)

[PR] Propose "why" folder that we will keep as "advisors" knowledge base [comdev-working-groups]

2024-02-23 Thread via GitHub


potiuk opened a new pull request, #16:
URL: https://github.com/apache/comdev-working-groups/pull/16

   I would like to propose the "why" folder, where we will keep a (very) short 
summary about some of the rules and policies that we will be - as Advisors - 
discussing with the projects we will advise.
   
   I think we need something like that - also as a place where we
   - advisors - will be able to update and exchange our understanding on why 
there are certain rules and policies. Also to discuss future variations and 
changes to those rules, possibly resulting from interactions with multiple PMCs 
when we will learn from them how they are applying certain rules and policies 
in their environment.
   
   I gave an example of how I see such "why" captured information could look 
like - starting with the most familiar (for me) release process and I am 
curious what others think about it.

[PR] Add bi-directional approach for Advisors [comdev-working-groups]

2024-02-23 Thread via GitHub


potiuk opened a new pull request, #17:
URL: https://github.com/apache/comdev-working-groups/pull/17

   This is something I wanted to proposed from the beginnig of seing the 
Sharpenes apporach. I believe the original approach where Advisors just advise 
the projects their join - and the flow is in one direction, they should treat 
the opportunity of interacting with different PMCs as an opportunity to learn 
from the projects and discuss with other advisors whether the current 
incarnation of the rules we have is applicable in practice and whether maybe 
they should be adjusted and improved or maybe they should be updated to be 
better applicable to different projects - coming from various culturs, 
backgrounds, projects with different sizes, with different stakeholder 
engagement.
   
   Having the relation works in both directions is an opportunity to learn and 
adapt, and to exchange findings between the Advisors that might lead to better 
adaptability and better common understanding of the rules and policies we have, 
and more participatory role of both Advisors and PMCs that might get beter 
chance to shape the way how Foundation works on an ongoing way, as well as to 
give the board an opportunity to listen to the voices and better understand the 
varuious needs of various projects.

potiuk opened a new pull request, #18:

   This PR adds quite a bit of clarity on how the process of initiating (and 
ending) the relationship between the Advispr and PMC is expected to happen. 
It's more on a FAQ rather than rules, and it describes the usual way it can 
happen, with focus put on the voluntary nature of being an Advisor and 
clarifies the role of Board in the process.

Review Comment:
   I am not persuaded that we need a new mailing list for this. I see this WG 
as one of the core functionalities of the ComDev PMC, and moving that 
discussion off to another list seems a way to remove it from view, with no 
particular benefit. I'd ask that we keep it in the main list until such time 
that people actually complain that there's too much noise, since I think we can 
all learn from these discussions.

   Fine with that as well. I think having it all on comdev list is great.

Review Comment:
   Good point. I think maybe we should work out a way to just have a list of 
people who are advisors for PMC? Maybe in this repository ?

   > Interesting idea. Yeah, I like this. It also gives us something to point 
to when projects push back, in a "this isn't personal, it's just the way things 
are" kind of way. Especially in conjunction with the notion that we're also 
there to learn, and possibly improve the process/rules.
   
   100% agree. There is a huge value in something being publicly stated in 
"semi-official" way. Just writing things down and pointing to it as a link is 
enough to stop treating things as personal opinion but something that is 
"commonly understood". Also when we connect it with the gorup of advisors who 
are mostly a "group ASF members who actually care enough to spend their 
personal time on helping other projects" has additional benefit that it is not 
seen as something that is "top-> bottom" but more like "group of peers agreed 
this is how it is".

   Yep. We just need to figure out the most light-weight way of tracking it and 
keeping it up-to-date. It would be useful on many levels to keep track of who 
is an advisor to which project,

An implicit +1 from the RM is not something that should be encouraged.

Also the minimum length of time for voting is 72 hours, except for
urgent security-related releases.

HI,

I agree, but some projects still do it.

> Also the minimum length of time for voting is 72 hours, except for
> urgent security-related releases.

A few projects have longer times for voting, so they still fit within the 72 
minimum.

Kind Regards,
Justin

   Also, I agree with Justin's comment that the process can be subtly 
different. Or you can elaborate a bit what "the same" part is that is mandatory.

   The answer is not included in the new file. Do you expect elaborate it in

   I remember that the original purpose of this "red flag" was to encourage RMs

   As stated below that "An Advisor must be an ASF member", I think that add 
oneself to the list can be done with a lazy consensus.
   
   Or if we're confident that the advisor WG is active enough, 3 +1 from the WG.
   
   I personally trust a member and their "describe your experience, skill and 
interests. Introduce yourself as a prospect Advisor" would show enough 
motivation.

Review Comment:
   According to the original mailing list thread of this WG, it doesn't aim at 
creating a new office in the foundation.
   
   So I assume that there is no special relationship between the Advisor with 
other office at least at the "advising" level.
   
   Instead, the advisor WG working on the guidelines and generating knowledge. 
Every advisor WG member or anyone, as individuals, applying this guidelines to 
advice projects.

   I don't think we'd establish a formal Advisor role in the project. But any 
advisor comes with a certain issue/suggestion, or shout-out (of course) for the
