Re: [technology-pmc] Need a list of things we need exceptions for
spark-core depends on a metrics library, and that library was rejected: https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8444

"""
We have heard back from the third party project concerning its provenance and
licensing.

Unfortunately, the project has over 120 contributors with no contribution
mechanism in place.  As a result, we are unable to resolve provenance
satisfactorily for Eclipse distribution.

We also were able to ascertain the original author (lead) is no longer
involved/active in the project.

I'm sorry not to have better news.

Regards,
Sharon

This presents itself as a pretty big problem for us, if we are to be distributed with spark. But, it's less of a problem if we don't intend to package spark at all...in this case it would need to be a "works with" dependency. In order to compile the geotrellis-spark subproject, someone would need to pull spark-core down from maven. But usually, when we build up a "fat jar" that would run against a Spark system, we don't package up spark-core...that is actually provided by the spark system you are running the code against.

spark-core has a lot of dependencies. If we could at least get the stamp of approval of having spark and all it's dependencies be ok for "works with", then we can work with that. Otherwise, since spark is at the core of what we are doing, I'm not sure how to proceed.

Best,
Rob

Hi all,

A birdie told me that Spark was rejected by legal despite being an Apache project.  In general, having a standing a-ok for Hadoop, Accumulo, Zookeeper, and Spark would be awesome. 

I don't know if such approval fits into this request, but I want to put forward those 4 projects since they are fundamental to developing cloud software.  Broad approval would save us lots of time. 

Otherwise, I suppose I'm happy to submit 4 CQs for each version of CDH and HDP which we target;)

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jody, Frank, Everyone

I'm going to try and craft the board resolutions without specific versions. i.e. make the resolutions as widely applying as I can. They'll first be run through the LocationTech Steering Committee, then passed to the Eclipse Foundation board for review & hopefully approval.

It won't surprise anyone to learn that I'll be socializing it with everyone up front so that there's high likelihood they get approved. Avoiding it bouncing back and forth between the boards is in everyone's best interest.

Jody, for the not on the list stuff, I want to clarify, are these things we've worked around and we don't need any more?

Everyone else, last call... please get anything on your list for board exceptions to me by end of day Tuesday March 24th.

Thanks!

Andrew

Do you need version numbers for the following?

Data:

* EPSG database - need to ensure the language covers format shifting from access to H2. If it helps OSGeo reached out to IOGP during GeoTools incubation to ensure this use was okay (it was).

Software:

* jai-core - image processing library used by GeoTools. Commercial friendly distribution, but not open source, etc...
* jai-imageio - additional image formats beyond what is provided by java

Not on the list:

* vecmath - distributed as part of Java 3D. Last weeks code-sprint explored replacing this with EJML. I think this can be accomplished as part of geogig incubation
* imageio-ext available under a BSD license
* jai-ext available under a BSD license

Not sure:

* groovy is important to the geoscript project (one of the supported languages). I thought we had made a request already but I have not heard back. The project has one known issue where it needs to update from antlr 2.7.7 to a newer version.

Hi Everyone,

Now that the dust is settling on FOSS4G NA 2015, I want to petition the Eclipse Foundation board with the list of software that we need exceptions for. JAI tools & core, EPSG, etc.

Can you guys help get a list started? I'm glad to do the poetry for why each matters & advocate.

We need to move quickly on this to get 'er done.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
