Title: Apache UIMA Incubation Status

This page tracks the project status, incubator-wise. For more general project status, look on the project website.

The UIMA project graduated on 2010-03-18

The Apache UIMA Project will create a standardized component framework for the analysis of unstructured data, guided by the UIMA Oasis Standard (http:/www.oasis-open.org) It will include an SDK and tooling for composing and running analytic components written in Java and C++; a scaleout capability, and a set of annotators and other components that can be used with the framework.

Project Setup

This is the first phase of 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
2007 02 07Make 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 cvs 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.
2006-10-27If 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.

Interim responsibility

dateitem
2006-10-05Identify all the Mentors for the incubation, by asking all that can be Mentors.
2006-11-03Subscribe all Mentors on the incubator PMC and general lists.
legacyGive all Mentors access to all incubator CVS modules. (to be done by PMC chair)

2006-11-03Ask root for the creation of committers' accounts on svn.apache.org.

dateitem
2006-11-03Ask infrastructure to create source repository modules and grant the committers karma.
2006-11-03Ask infrastructure to set up and archive Mailing lists.
2006-11-03Decide about and then ask infrastructure to setup an issuetracking system (Bugzilla, Scarab, Jira).

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

None

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?
