Graduation Tasks

[josephevans]

The ASF board has approved a resolution to graduate MXNet into a full top level project. Thanks to everyone for your help to get to this point.

To transition from the Apache Incubator to a new TLP, there's a few action items we need to do to complete the transition. These are identified by https://incubator.apache.org/guides/transferring.html#life_after_graduation.

If you can help with these tasks, please respond in this issue.

• Update Incubator status records
  • Update the incubator status file (in svn) - @josephevans
  • Update podling status page - @josephevans
• Source repo changes
  • Create ASF Infra TLP request - @josephevans - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-23856
  • Git repos will be renamed to drop the "incubator-" prefix, notify developers to change their remotes
  • Post announcement to dev list telling everyone the repo is about to be moved
  • Post an announcement containing instructions for developers describing how to change their git remotes.
  • Update website, Jenkins, wikis, pom.xml, and other resources to point to the new repository location - [v1.9.x] TLP Updates #21148
• Websites
  • If you have any fully qualified links to your podling.incubator.apache.org on your website change them - [v1.9.x] TLP Updates #21148
• Mailing Lists
  • If you use podling.incubator.apache.org format email addresses, please start using podling.apache.org
  • Check project-private mailing list membership. Mentors should be allowed to remain if they wish to do so. The subscriber list should otherwise match that on the resolution. See this and the EZMLM "Moderator’s and Administrator’s Manual".
  • Update mail addresses including: issue tracking messages (see administration documentation)
  • Double-check that all of your lists have sufficient active moderators.
• Issue Tracking
  • Ask infra to move the podling to its own top level category in JIRA, if using JIRA (I think we previously used JIRA)
• Distribution mirrors
  • Create new distribution area (dist.apache.org) release/${project} and dev/${project} folders can be created by PMC members. - new releases will go here. Need to decide on what to do with previous releases under incubator (see section under distribution mirrors here.

I am collecting what we need to ask Apache Infra to update now that we have graduated. These are the git repos for MXNet under Apache. Some of these are stale and have not been updated recently. Do we still need all of these repos?

The following repos should be renamed to remove the "incubator-" prefix.

https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet-site
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet-ci
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet-events
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet-examples
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet-test

We probably don't need the -events or -test repos. Also, Infra asked us to change the website publishing and reduce the website size, or otherwise the existing workflow tends to time out.
