Title: myfaces

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

The MyFaces project graduated on 2005-03-09

MyFaces is a framework for building Java Server application GUIs based on JavaServer Faces (JSR-127); this implementation is not yet certified.

  • Proposal accepted by Incubator PMC on 16 July 2004

  • (2004-10-17) All needed CLAs are on file. A code grant is in transit. Accounts for the committers have been created. Mailing lists are created. Committers are subscribed. The Jira setup for the project is being finalized. The project incubator page is created. Committers are preparing the SourceForge CVS for import to Apache.

One account's credentials were lost in transit (grantsmith). Request to root@ to resend the credentials to an alternate address was made 14/Oct/2004. (Credential now received.)

Project Setup

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

Identify the project to be incubated

statusitem
DONEMake 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.
DONEIf request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external package, then ask the Apache project for the cvs module and mail address names.
DONEIf request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project, then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance.
DONEIf 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

statusitem
DONEIdentify all the Mentors for the incubation, by asking all that can be Mentors.
DONESubscribe all Mentors on the pmc and general lists.
DONEGive all Mentors access to all incubator CVS modules. (to be done by PMC chair)
DONETell Mentors to track progress in the file ‘incubator/projects/{project.name}.cwiki’

Copyright

dateitem
DONECheck 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.
DONECheck and make sure that the files that have been donated have been updated to reflect the new ASF copyright.

Verify distribution rights

dateitem
DONECheck 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.
DONECheck 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
DONECheck that all active committers have submitted a contributors agreement.
DONEAdd all active committers in the STATUS file.
DONEAsk root for the creation of committers' accounts on cvs.apache.org.

Infrastructure !

dateitem
DONEAsk infrastructure to create source repository modules and grant the committers karma.
DONEAsk infrastructure to set up and archive Mailing lists.
DONEDecide about and then ask infrastructure to setup an issuetracking system (Bugzilla, Scarab, Jira).
DONEMigrate the project to our infrastructure.

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

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

  • DONE: 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.)

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

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

Licensing awareness

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

Exit

Things to check for before voting the project out.

Organizational acceptance of responsibility for the project

  • N/A: If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it?

  • todo: 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?
