The Lokahi project has been retired.
Did not report, and will most likely be suspended this month.
** DID NOT REPORT **
Lokahi did not report, and has had no activity since March. The PMC will investigate whether or not this project should go into a dormant status.
Very little community development is hampering this otherwise worthwhile server (as in httpd, tomcat, geronimo, etc.) management project.
Lokahi is a configuration and management console for Apache httpd, tomcat and other web server infrastructure. Incubating since: 2006-01-07 Testing on the MySQL port is continuing. A Fast Feather presentation on Lokahi was given at Apachecon in Atlanta. Recently talk (and some code) has begun around templating of configuration files, specifically for Apache Httpd at this time. And the need to extend Lokahi to manage Geronimo has been mentioned. Obstacles to graduation: * community - now includes authors outside of the original dev community, but additional committers are sought. * licensing - oracle-only backend is now 95% of the way to an alternate MySQL backend, and soon to be enhanced with license agnostic interfaces

Lokahi is a configuration and management console for Apache httpd, tomcat and other web server infrastructure. Incubating since: 2006-01-07 Significant contributions have been made towards finishing the MySQL port that was begun earlier this year. A Fast Feather presentation on Lokahi has been scheduled for Apachecon in Atlanta. Obstacles to graduation: * community - now includes authors outside of the original dev community, but additional committers are sought. Recent distractions, and the temperature of discussions taking place across projects on general@i.a.o reinforced the fact that a larger committer base is needed to graduate. * licensing - oracle-only backend is now 95% of the way to an alternate MySQL backend, and soon to be enhanced with license agnostic interfaces
The last word of discussion some 3 months ago was about infra, the creation of the lokahi wiki site. It has since been unused. Some banter on the tail end of ApacheCon EU/07 included ideas about docs and deployment help, and some ideas about DB backends. The last commit activity in the same timeframe were the beginnings of a jackrabbit connector, no other activity for commits@ since then. There has been no activity on private. The Incubator is expressing concern over the dormant state of Lokahi, and what can be done to revive it, since there seems to be more user interest than developer interest at this time.

Lokahi is a configuration and management console for Apache httpd, tomcat and other web server infrastructure. Incubating since: 2006-01-07 Several members of the Lokahi community attended Apachecon EU in an effort to grow the community. A FastFeather track on what Lokahi does and what it currently supports (slides are available here:http://people.apache.org/~toback/presentations/Lokahi-fast-feather-05-0 4-2007.pdf ). Specific outreach was made to the Geronimo community to help us get a sense of what it would take to have Lokahi control the Geronimo stack. A significant number of committers from other projects have subscribed to lokahi-dev over ApacheCon after discovering how this project could solve their own infrastructure headaches or how it could be enhanced to support their project's configuration and management. An initial roadmap of features has been planned, and development will be moving in the direction of the new roadmap. An initial draft of Lokahi's data model for the proposed switch to a Jackrabbit back-end was worked out with input from Jackrabbit community. The conversion to JCR takes first priority because it will mitigate existing difficulties that hinder community-growing, namely: (a) Oracle as db requirement, which reduces the potential user "market"; (b) inability to run Lokahi on a standalone machine, due to (a); (c) complicated build process, partially due to (a); JCR will provide the following benefits: (a) database independence (run Lokahi with a file system backend to try it out, or use a more robust storage platform for production) + embedded Derby db (b) lower barrier to contribution, see (a) (c) versioned objects -- the basis for storing versioned configuration files & foundation for a future "undo" feature requested by users. Great for real-world use in regulated environments which require detailed audit trails of who-changed-what-and-when. Obstacles to graduation: * community - now includes authors outside of the original dev community, but additional committers are sought. Recent distractions reinforced the fact that a larger committer base is needed to graduate. * licensing - oracle-only backend is now 90% of the way to an alternate MySQL backend, and soon to be enhanced with license agnostic interfaces
iPMC Reviewers: Missing Report, pinged 2/9, 2/14 iPMC questions / comments: * jukka: The mailing list are silent and there are no recent commits. Is all hope lost? * wrowe: I have pinged; the last bundle works quite well, but there was integration (already started) for much more commonly available OSS DB backends. The last effort on this activity was 1/5. Will apprise as I learn more. There was activity since their November Report, I'm not terribly worried. (yet). * wrowe: One thing that the podling is ready for are some participants from other framework and infrastructure projects who want their services better-integrated to step forward to help :) A post to community w.r.t. suggestion might be useful. ---- == mod_ftp (final i.a.o report) == iPMC Reviewers: The Apache HTTPD mod_ftp Project is a protocol module for Apache 2.x which implements RFCs: 959, 1123, 2228, 238, regarding the FTP specifications Entered incubation: 2005-08-06; Exited incubation for httpd TLP: 2007-02-15 The mod_ftp podling, httpd TLP and incubator PMC have voted to graduate mod_ftp to httpd's domain as its subproject: mod_ftp@i.a.o podling Vote Thread Message-ID: <459F6F02.5050104@rowe-clan.net> mod_ftp-dev@i.a.o podling Vote Summary Message-Id: <AEA0F064-1BAB-4A1E-B4E5-B65E9011DE8E@jaguNET.com> > 4 binding +1 votes (and 1 nonbinding +1) by mod_ftp to exit the > incubator as an httpd sub-project. dev@HTTPD.a.o Vote Thread Message-Id: <A168EDCE-77F8-4865-8485-7DFEB630A283@jaguNET.com> dev@HTTPD.a.o Vote Summary Message-Id: <1583C015-C162-41A7-83EC-08DEE3EC3194@jaguNET.com> > +1 Justin Erenkrantz > Jim Jagielski > Ruediger Pluem > Will Rowe > Sander Temme > Nick Kew (recorded late) > -1 None > > The consensus is that: > > 1. mod_ftp be a httpd sub-project (ala mod_box) > 2. mod_ftp will use the httpd lists (dev, user, etc...) > and not have separate lists Incubator (general@i.a.o) Vote Thread Message-ID: <45CF3A1E.9010409@rowe-clan.net> Incubator (general@i.a.o) Vote Summary Message-ID: <45D53A8D.1070605@rowe-clan.net> Final tally; +1; wrowe, yoavs, rdonkin, jerenkrantz, bdelacretaz, jim, leosimons -1; none In light of this; I declare the vote passed by all three committees, and will begin the transfer of mod_ftp assets into the httpd project per their consensus and further discussion to come, and [xxx] submit this as the final mod_ftp subproject report under the incubator's umbrella. ----
Lokahi is a management console for Apache httpd and Apache Tomcat. Lokahi entered incubation in January 2006. Top items to resolve before graduation: * Grow the community. It's currently diverse, but fairly small. * Go through the release process at least once, issuing Apache-approved release and making sure all requirements, e.g. LICENSE and NOTICE files, are met. The Lokahi project has kept on chugging along, incorporating numerous contributed patches and focusing on code quality, improved MySQL support, and and enhanced support for late version Tomcat 5.5 containers.
Lokahi is quietly chugging along towards a 0.1 milestone release: the vote is currently under way. We believe there are no issues requiring the attention of the Board.
