Title: OpenOffice.org Incubation Status

This page tracks the project status, incubator-wise; i.e. this page is for the existing project team and the Apache Incubator PMC to track the meta status of the project. Most users and contributors will want to see the project website or community wiki for more information about Apache OpenOffice the product.

The OpenOffice.org project graduated on 2012-10-17

OpenOffice.org is comprised of six personal productivity applications: a word processor (and its web-authoring component), spreadsheet, presentation graphics, drawing, equation editor, and database. OpenOffice.org is released on Windows, Solaris, Linux and Macintosh operation systems, with more communities joining, including a mature FreeBSD port. OpenOffice.org is localized, supporting over 110 languages worldwide.

Project Setup

This is the first phase on incubation, needed to start the project at Apache.

Item assignment is shown by the Apache id. Completed tasks are shown by the completion date (YYYY-MM-dd).

Identify the project to be incubated

dateitem
2011-06-13Make sure that the requested project name does not already exist and check www.nameprotect.com to be sure that the name is not already trademarked for an existing software product.
N/AIf request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external package, then ask the Apache project for the SVN module and mail address names.
N/AIf request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project, then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance.
2011-06-13If request from anywhere to become a stand-alone PMC, then assess the fit with the ASF, and create the lists and modules under the incubator address/module names if accepted.

Infrastructure

dateitem
2011-06-29Ask infrastructure to create source repository modules and grant the committers karma. (incubator/ooo repository created and team begins work - curcuru)
2011-06-13Ask infrastructure to set up and archive mailing lists. (dev@ and private@ mailing lists in action; note more lists are expected to be added - curcuru)
2011-08-30Ask infrastructure to set up issue tracker (Bugzilla).
2011-06-19Ask infrastructure to set up wiki (Confluence wikis setup: OOODEV and OOUSERS - curcuru)
2011-12-28Migrate the project to our infrastructure.

Mentor-related responsibility/oversight

dateitem
2011-06-13Identify all the Mentors for the incubation, by asking all that can be Mentors. (8 mentors signed up at creation - curcuru)
2011-06-13Subscribe all Mentors on the pmc and general lists.
2011-12-28Give all Mentors access to the incubator SVN repository. (to be done by the Incubator PMC chair or an Incubator PMC Member wih karma for the authorizations file)
2011-06-13Tell Mentors to track progress in the file ‘incubator/projects/{project.name}.html’

Copyright

dateitem
2011-10-21Check and make sure that the papers that transfer rights to the ASF been received. It is only necessary to transfer rights for the package, the core code, and any new code produced by the project.
2012-04-21Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have been updated to reflect the new ASF copyright.

Verify distribution rights

dateitem
2012-05-02Check and make sure that for all code included with the distribution that is not under the Apache license, we have the right to combine with Apache-licensed code and redistribute.
2012-05-02Check and make sure that all source code distributed by the project is covered by one or more of the following approved licenses: Apache, BSD, Artistic, MIT/X, MIT/W3C, MPL 1.1, or something with essentially the same terms.

Establish a list of active committers

dateitem
2012-01-18Check that all active committers have submitted a contributors agreement.
2012-01-18Add all active committers in the STATUS file.
201-01-18Ask root for the creation of committers' accounts on people.apache.org.

Project specific

See the Community Wiki - Project Planning page for the best place to see an overview of OOo specific tasks.

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?

Project Specific

Add project specific tasks here.

Exit

Things to check for before voting the project out.

Organizational acceptance of responsibility for the project

  • If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it?

  • If graduating to a new PMC, has the board voted to accept it?

Incubator sign-off

  • Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of the above tasks?
