Re: [iot-pmc] Multi attachment CQ

[Jens Reimann <jreimann@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Looking at Ditto, it looks to me as if they started out as a Type_A project.

I think is this case the approach they took is fine IMHO. As you can't piggyback on those CQ anyway.

Looking at Type_B I am not sure what to do. I think for projects like Spring or Netty, it makes sense having a full source code archive in a single CQ. The possibilities that this gets re-use are quite good. I am not so sure for other projects (e.g. like ActiveMQ).

Maybe we should make a decision based on a PMC discussion. Then again this is not only the IoT PMC, but other PMCs as well. And having a global PMC vote doesn't seem to make the process go any smoother ;)

Difficult ...

Hi Sharon,

the Ditto project filed a CQ [1] for a component they want to use which consists of multiple sub-modules (very much like the Spring Framework). I can remember a discussion we had about filing a single CQ for the complete source code of the Spring Framework but then using and distributing only a subset of the modules.

IIRC you wanted us to create separate CQs for each of the sub modules we wanted to use. Does the same apply here? From a piggy-backing standpoint I do not think that the approach taken by the Ditto project is very helpful because they have created a CQ for an arbitrary selection of the component's sub-modules that is useful for their project, but which may not be sufficient for others trying to use the component.

I therefore think that it would be better to either

a) allow creating a CQ for the whole source code at once and then allow projects to just use and distribute an arbitrary selection of the sub-modules

or

b) require the projects to file separate CQs for each sub-component to allow for others to easily piggy-back.

Personally, I would rather have option a) because it generates less work for the projects (but more work for you poor people of the IP team, I know :-() ...
