Breaking my silance

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi all

After nearly two years, I break my silence. I was focusing on my own
project. We established a NGO in Switzerland with two goals. First to
develop end run tools for communication and organization vor other
NGO's. second, to find, educate and train new developers. We focus on
people who fail in the standard education system.

Participate in a OSS Project will be a part of our training program. I
find it important to work on a international project. I will guide the
people when they start at the community. Even the swiss social
assurance (IV (Invaliden Versicherung) accepted a pilot project with
us. This is very surprising, because the IV is normally very
conservative and not open for new concepts.

At the moment we have five peoples in the organization. Two of them go
slowly ready to work in a project. The NGO is called Vefko and is
limited to Switzerland ad the moment.

I will be also at the ApacheCon EU. I'm really happy to be there, and
can't wait to meet you guys there!

I don't get any feedback from you. I'm a little bit unsure, if I

Hi all

I tried my best with the article. I can make a category, just in case,
someone wants to link the series.
Next blogs will be about the Apache Way. probably something like "Ohne
Entwickler Community, kein Open Source Projekt" (Community over

Corona Track App

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi all

I think we all are right now in a challenging  situation. Many
countries are in a lockdown. But there is also a discussion around,
what we do after this emergency stop. One solution ist to track down
the rout of the Virus. If a new case comes in, you search out the
social connections. Thy can be warned, and make a test to.

I know, tracking Apps are already in discussion, but maybe it's a good
idea to have something open source under AL v2.

I know, Apache normally don't act proactive. But maybe we should make
an exception here. What do you think?

Re: Corona Track App

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi all

If you take a look at my (really short) concept, you will see, that I
have a slightly different approach. Instead of a centralized tool. I
think a decentralized with the possibility of some centralized data
(if necessary) is the better way.

On one way I expect a higher tolerance by the population, on the other
hand you are not depending on a large server Infrastructure.

Re: What's the plan? What are we here for?

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi at all

I'm finaly here too. I think, moast of you know me ;-) But the way to 
this list wasn't so easy. I'm honest, i diden't know about comdev util 
Roman point me to the ML. Then I searched for the subscribe link, and 
faild. Well I know how to compose the subscribe adress for the ML, but 
what does a newbie. So it would be good, to have that link on a 
prominent place on the comdev site.


Befor we start to get other in to the boat, we should look around and 
see, wich type of boat we have. What's the magic of Apache, why we 
particip, what's the spirit. It's important for Newbie that they know 
what they can expect. Maybe we can start with this work.

Am 12/5/2016 um 6:54 PM schrieb Rich Bowen:

As has been discussed elsewhere, we don't have a clear idea of what
we're here for. I believe we need to fix that.

Why This Matters

1) So that we know how to ask for help

This matters because people *flock* to us saying "I want to help", and
in pretty much every case our response is "Great! Help! We love you!"
This is great, but utterly unhelpful.

Once we have a clear idea of what goals we are working towards, we will
have a better idea of how to tell people to help us.

When people come to volunteer to help, we need to know what to tell them
that they can do, and those things need to come out of an understanding
of what we're trying to accomplish.

At the moment, we're doing a number of things. Most of them, we have no
idea whether they help. I assert that this is primarily because "help"
is undefined. Help with *what*?

2) So that we know whether we're doing it

Once we define what it is that we are trying to accomplish, we will be
better able to measure the things that we are doing, to determine in
some objective way whether they are moving us towards those goals.

I realize that "community development" is an endless road. But we should
at least know which direction we're walking on that road.

3) Because we owe the board a report every quarter

We're supposed to report to the board every quarter telling them how we
are doing on achieving the goals that they created us to pursue. Except
that we don't know what those goals are.

So, we engage in various efforts which may or may not do anything. Some,
like GSoC, are noble, and clearly benefit one audience (the students
that participate), and *might* benefit projects. Sounds like it does,
based on the most recent responses on $otherthread. Awesome. But do they
advance "community development". Hard to say before we define that.


So, What's The Plan

As a full-time community manager, I have a definition of community
development that appears on my annual performance review. I think it's
fine for us, as a PMC in the most important open source organization on
the planet, to have a similar level of rigor.

Here's some of the things that fall under this header, and which I
believe should be part of our definition as the ComDev PMC - things that
we should work towards, and measure every effort against.

* Increase community diversity. Identify projects that are monocultures
(or near to them) and help them actively pursue broader community diversity.

* Develop tools (documentation, training materials, and software tools)
that projects can use to promote themselves and attract new
participants. (Participants is a very broad term here, and does not
refer only to code jockeys.)

* Educate projects on the Apache Way, so that they can more richly
experience the organization that they have attached themselves to.
Identify projects that appear to be operating outside of the Apache Way,
and gently, kindly, lead them back to the light.

* Strengthen the bonds between projects and the larger Foundation.
Defining this is a whole other thread, but means several things to me.
Identify projects that are satellites and build ties back to the
"family", in terms of participating in events, participating in
governance discussions, having adequate membership representation on the
PMC, and so on.

* It's not about marketing, but we should be working very closely with
marketing (press@) to promote what our projects are doing, and promote
the idea of the ASF as a place where innovation happens, thus drawing in
an engaged and excited participant community.

* Internal promotion and cheerleading. Marketing is outward facing.
Community development is somewhat inward facing. Many of our projects
have no idea what other projects are doing, and don't care. Doing a
degree of internal cheerleading, along with the education, is critical
for building exprit de corps.

Ok, I think there's more, but that alone should keep us busy for 5 or 10
years, and give these volunteers that keep showing up a clearer idea of
what things they can work on.

Diversity: How many disabled people are at Apache

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi people

The question is in the subject: It would just be interesting. Ok, many 
people allready know, I have a physical disability called ICP (Infantile 
cerebral palsy). I just want to know, if there are others.


I think, ASF could be a chance for disabled people to get work. The 
model of the ASF is perfect for this. You can get in without having any 
diplom or reference. Here everyone can get the chance.

Hi Melissa,

I said already hello here on the list. Maybe you missed the mail. I took 
a long time out nearly two years ago. I was traveling over 5000km with 
my bicycle. Last summer i participed at 12 athletic events in 
Switzerland over 100m. You see, a load of sports. There is still a load 
of sports, but I'm back at ASF too.


My blog: http://raphaelbircher.wordpress.com (Unfortunaly I'm lazy and 
only a few articles are translated in english)

My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/unifaeggi
And the Facebook Fan Page: https://www.facebook.com/SportOfHopeTour/

Maybe I attend the ApacheCon in Miami. If someone is from this area, I'm 
looking for a Athletic event close to the ApacheCon. You can write me 
offlist. It would be lovely to  combine the ApacheCon with a 100m 
Sprint. The people who goes to the FOSDEM in Bruxell will see me too.

What happened to the to the Apache Labs

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi all

I looked at the apache Labs from time to time, and I see nearly no

point for new software projects from ASF Committer. I find this a good  
idea, and wonder why it's so calm there. I would have interests in the  
lab, because I have a project who would fit in.

Working Ecosystems at ASF

According the survey, there are only 50% of the developers spare time  
developers. The rest works during there worktime. My question is, what for

Apache project can learn from it. Has anybody ever used crowd funding to

I know of one documented case,
http://community.apache.org/committers/funding-disclaimer.html but I
don't have info on how well it went.

The disclaimer was important to properly dissociate such initiatives
form the ASF, which does not fund software development.


Thanks for the link. This rise a question, i got never a real answer for

OpenExpo in Madrid

Hi all

I do this for Sharan now, I hope you don't mind ;-)

At FOSDEM Mr. Philippe Lardy invited the Apache People to the OpenExpo in

Let's go Facebook

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi all

I discovered some time ago, that the Apache Software Foundation has a  
automated generated Facebook site with over 9000 likes. For those who  
don't know it, FB generate a page for highly requested sits. There is a  
text from Wikipedia on it, the Logo and that's it. We can take over this  
page with the 9000 fans on it, and make a real fan page.


I've talked about this topic with Sally. She said, that I should go ahead  
and do it. I have some years experience with FB pages. I'm one of the  
Administrators of the Apache OpenOffice page. So I propose the following  
procedure.


If there are no concerns, I will care about getting the page setup. After  
that I can add others to Admin ore Moderator list.


I ask also for help here. Who is willing to maintain a Facebook page? FB  
can also be a good opportunity to get new people involved. At OpenOffice  
we have had committer who started with a simple Question on the FB Page.


So what you think about it?

Regards, Raphael

Prefer Sport over Apache this season.

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi all

I decided that 2017 is my last Season as disabled sportman. But on the  
last season I like to give a last time 100%++. That's the reason, why i  
put sport in the height est priority. This means, That I will not attend  
any event from ASF during the Summer. So I will be not at the ApacheCon  
NA. I want to try the impossible one last time.


But the rest of the Work at ASF will not be affected.

Thanks!

Social Media Roster of the ASF

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi all

During the Facebook page setup we find out, that we have no overview over  
our social media channels. It would be good to have a social media roster  
somewhere in the private area (maybe Committers?)

With the project, the URL and who manages the social media.

You are not a committer right now, right? The Apache ID/e-mail and the  
right to commit is bound to the committer role. So there is no way to  
create it yourself. If you want to submit a patch, simply write a mail to  
the dev list on the project and add the patch or create a issue with the  
patch inside. Don't forget to write what the patch does. The patch well  
then be reviewed by the committers and committed in your name.


If you do value work, you will get voted in as committer and you can do it  
your self. Please read also the License site  
https://www.apache.org/licenses/ .


If you have questions, just asd! I wish you a good start at the ASF and

Re: MSDN Subscription for Apache Committers

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi Luciano, *

Can we really expect that? I don't think. The subscription we get costs a  
load of money per year for normal people out there. We have to be lucky  
for such an offer. I think, Microsoft don't like to support a inactive  
committer, who save a load of money and work anymore for the ASF. So I  
understand, that they only give the subscribtion for a year. So I think we  
should be thankful for this.


I was also profiting two years from the MSDN Subscription, even the main  
work was for Apache OpenOffice!


Also MS is one of the longest standing Platium sponsor from the ASF (or  
the longest)

Re: Contribute as a company

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi William

Apache don't have a special way to contribute from a Company. We look at  
all contributors as an individual. Your employee just follow up like every  
other individual. Whoever, there are some contracts. ICLA and probably  
also CCLA. On https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas you can find them.


If you have already existing Code (say you extended an existing Apache  
Project but didn't contribute back) you may need a SGA (Grant) to hand  
over the code properly.


The way the contribution happened varies from project to project. But if  
your employees jump into the dev mailing list from the project, they will  
be guided to the right place.


If you have more questions, just ask. I wish you a good start at Apache  
and welcome on the Apache village (for a family we are a bit to big)

Trouble child OpenOffice

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi people

I want to raise a question here. I know, we have to solve our problems our  
self, but maybe here are people with ideas. OpenOffice has a big community  
problem. The community was simply melted away in the last year. We have at  
the moment no Company who offer devs. And the rest of the community fights  
the absolutely urgent issues. There was already a discussion about  
retirement, it was refused. But this doesn't mean we are out of the danger  
zone.


The sweet part of this story is our user base. We have 100'000 Downloads  
EVERY single DAY. I mean, this is crazy. We have really loyal users. We  
get also frequently messages from user who just want to say "thank you".


The sad thing about this is, they have actually no chance to do something  
for the program. They are looked out. Remember, they are normal users,  
they are no developers. They are typically private users or small  
companies. But imagine what happened if only a small part of our users pay  
20$.


We really need devs and we need skilled one, because OpenOffice is  
challenging for programmers. Companies with a load of money has a easy way  
to influence an Apache project. Simply pay a developer, that's it. But  
people without big pocket are simply looked out. (if they have no  
programmer skills) That's not fair!


How to solve this problem? Thanks a load.

Regards Raphael

Re: Trouble child OpenOffice

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi Toki

It's interesting how you jump in every time we talk about trouble at  
OpenOffice. I know, that you and some LibreOffice guys want to see Apache  
OpenOffice dead. If we are so bad, you should better ask your self, why  
you don't manage to take over the Apache OpenOffice users in all this  
years. Why LibreOffice lose users like the City of Munich. I'm sure you  
have answares, but I'm also sure that you will see the problem all outside  
LibreOffice. LibreOffice also lose a load of traction. Now days you have  
only 1/5 of the activity on the dev ML as you have in good times. You also  
lost payed devs in the past. At the moment you are in better condition,  
yes. But it doesn't give you the right to spread FUD over Apache  
OpenOffice. Thanks!

What has happened to Apache OpenOffice was been entirely predictably.

Oracle's offer checked all of the boxes for ensuring that a project
would have no developer support.


* is OpenOffice not competitive any more compared to Microsoft Office?
* is OpenOffice not competitive any more compared to Google Docs and  
similar tools?


It would be more accurate to say that LibreOffice has picked up the
goodwill, and cachet that OpenOffice.org had.


* are the download numbers correct?


Between 2015-10-01 and 2016-06-30 there were 29,137,880 downloads of
Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2
Between 2017-01-01 and 2017-04-19 there were 10,748,967 downloads of
Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3

In as much as these figures are from SourceForge, they probably are
reasonably accurate. The big unknown is how many of these are "failed
downloads".

OTOH, things like the number of downloads from Cuba, San Marino, Monaco,
and The Holy See, imply that there is an issue with either failed
downloads, or accurate geolocation, or accurately counting of the  
downloads.


* do you have an idea about the acceptance of OpenOffice in the wide  
world (marketing. press and so on)?


Compare https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/ with

That's not unique to OO. There are other projects that are a product  
too. Tomcat, ServiceMix, Archiva are examples.


I see other challenges and opportunities (depending on how one looks at  
the glass). For instance the fact that both MS and Google, major  
competitors, have a cloud service offering.


At the ApacheCon Europe in Sinsheeim an employee from IBM have had a talk  
about experiments for a Online version. It was interesting how crowded it  
gets. Unfortunately it was not continued. An other frequent request is a  
Version for IPad.


Just some ideas.

Mac Buildsystem at Apache

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi all

First of all, sorry for the crossposting. Since long time we have no mac  
buildsystem anymore. I know, that OpenOffice and Weex has an interest in  
having one. My Question is, are there other Communities who has interest  
in a Mac build system?

Talk about Apache at Linux Day in Dornbirn

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi all

I plane to go to the Linux Day in Dornbirn. This is a small Event on the 3  
contry border. Austria, Germany and Switzerland. I think i can also do a  
Talk about the ASF. I have two topics in mind. "Apache is more then httpd"  
or about the Apache Way.


The main People at the Linux day are private users and enthusiasts. I  
recognize, that many of this people are not aware about the size of the  
ASF. So I want to bring them the ASF a bit closer.


The presentation will be in German. Befor I sing up for the CFP I want to  
notify the ComDev and ask for any objections.

Thanks for the offer of help and will keep it in mind. Jacques, Herve  
and Narcisse are currently working with me offline on the French  
details for the conference.




If we're doing some comdev work regionally, would it make sense to
start creating regional comdev mailing lists as a need arises?  (for
example d...@community.apache.org for the combined German speaking
parts of Europe) For the solutions.hamburg Apache we spent a lot of
time off-list too, because the 100+ mails about details would've been
a burden for the many comdev subscribers who weren't involved.

The result wasn't bad, but:
A.) We might have gotten more Germans involved if there had been a
base of Germans subscribed "listening in" on the list.  Especially
when it came to putting together a German translation of the Apache
brochure.
B.) None of that communication is now archived or visible for
individuals or tools.

I know that YAL (yet another list) can be annoying; and it won't work
if nobody's interested enough to subscribe.  Since the regional
approach to community building is so much more cost effective, it
seems to me to be the way of the future for Apache, and this might
help support the approach. Other opinions?


I'm very interested in such a group, even we have to keep a eye that we  
don't split the community. But I think, regional Group are a good way to  
get people in. I see often the problem that peoples have no idea how big  
Apache is and how many projects we have.

Planed contribution from Vefko

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi All
Since about seven year I work at the Vefko project, a NGO based in
Switzerland. One of our main goal is to train disabled people in IT and
programming to geve them better opportunities as employees.

Now we have our first "IV Eingliederungsmassnahme" (Dont know how to call
it in English). The Invaliedenversicherung (which is a government backed
assurance for disabled people) pay our organisation to get a person
reintegrated into the business world.

We will work with this people at the Apache Community, so they can gain
experience in programming and learn to work independently.

I think, the calendar would be a good start for this person.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them.

Regards,
Raphael
