Dear technology PMC's,

 

I would like to request we schedule the conversation on the future of ALF at your convenience during the week of August 11th.  The original email called for a review by the end of July, but due to summer vacations and existing schedules, getting all the interested parties coordinated has taken somewhat longer than expected.  This two-week shift will allow us to better address the concerns that have been expressed.

 

Regards,

Brian

Brian,

One thing we may be able to start with sooner is a discussion on interpreting the CVS statistics, as of all the measures of a project, we felt the best about the changes to the codebase, in the sense that substantial improvements and enhancements were made over the last 6 months.  Our sense is that real progress was made on the codebase, especially in the areas of security/SSO and the Event Manager, although we also did trivial across-the-board updates to update the copyright notice.  We suspect the observations in your first note may have reflected spot checks to portions of the code that received no effort except for the trivial IP protection updates. 

That is correct - I just did a spot check - sorry if I spot checked the wrong files :-(

In general, however, the PMC is more concerned about the lack of community: no developers talking on the dev mailing list, no users talking on the mailing list, the website not being update (for example, the most recent date on "ALF in the News" in August 2006), etc.

- Bjorn
