Description

The Synapse project is creating a robust, lightweight and highly scalable XML and Web Service mediation framework based on open standards and specifications.

To participate in the Synapse podling, you should join the mailing list. Just send an empty message to synapse-dev-subscribe@ws.apache.org .

The initial goal of the project while in incubation is to build a viable developer community and create a useful codebase. In particular, it is a stated aim of this project to re-use and integrate with other components from the Apache Web Services project such as Axis2, Axiom, Sandesha, Rampart, etc.

NA If request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external package, then ask the Apache project for the cvs module and mail address names.
DONE If request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project, then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance.
N/A If 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.
Verify distribution rights
date item
DONE Check that all active committers have a signed CLA on record.
DONE Remind active committers that they are responsible for ensuring that a Corporate CLA is recorded if such is is required to authorize their contributions under their individual CLA.

Collaborative Development
  • Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project?
    Yes
  • 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.)
    Yes, we have active committers and contributors from four companies plus two or more universities

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

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

Generally, the result of checking off these items will be a Software Grant, CLA, and Corporate CLA for ASF licensed code, which must have no dependencies upon items whose licenses that are incompatible with the Apache License.

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