Title: Lokahi Project Incubation Status

The Lokahi project retired on 2009-08-16

The project originated as TMCg2 at Merck, and was donated to the ASF to benefit the broader Apache HTTP Server and Apache Tomcat communities. The name Lokahi (Loh-kah-hee) was chosen as it is the Hawaiian word for “harmony and unity”; one primary goal of the project is to invite ASF technologies to participate in a harmonious configuration framework, unifying configuration and deployment of our projects.

  • Aug 16 2000; Incubator PMC decided to retire the project as inactive.

  • Oct 2 2006; Milestone 1 released.

  • Mar 1 2005; the project has just begun provisioning resources.

  • See more news in Incubation Work Items section below.

  • November 2006 : Top items to resolve before graduation, MySQL support.

  • August 2006 : Preparing for a first milestone release.

  • May 2006 : After a fairly active April, May was a bit slower.

  • April 2006 : The Lokahi project is still setting up its infrastructure: Subversion has been set up with proper commit privileges, and the initial code import just took place a couple of days ago. The Lokahi name has been cleared as far as trademark usage goes.

Incubation

These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation process.

These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they may change during incubation. They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and completed in the request for incubation signoff.

Collaborative Development

  • Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project?

  • Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.)

  • Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?

  • Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers?

Licensing awareness

  • Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowleged by all committers?
