Who would like / will maintain the cjwizard project? about cjwizard HOT 29 CLOSED

I'm happy to have @stevesobol take over, but I honestly don't know any of you folks that well, so I don't have strong feelings about who takes charge. It's great to see folks interested in the project, and I'm thrilled to see it in use!

My primary concerns are:
(1) The project stays alive, as long as it is useful, and as long as we can keep it that way, and
(2) Everyone who wants to contribute has an opportunity

I'm hoping to lurk for a while, and if a gitter / slack channel gets going I'll probably hang out there, but I don't expect I'll need the library my self, and I won't have time to make any technical contributions.

Let me know if / how I can help with things.

from cjwizard.

Ooh. Had to set <server> / <id> properly. It worked. Now I need to upload the demos. Thanks for the help

from cjwizard.

That'll be me. Let's do this thing!

from cjwizard.

Do you use the Bintray credentials for other projects, or do you use them exclusively for cjwizard?

If you only use them for cjwizard, you can put them in a kdbx file using Keepass, or I can give you my PGP public key and you can email them to me.

from cjwizard.

@creswick, could you briefly confirm @stevesobol as the new project leader? I'll add him afterwards to the Github organization and the Bintray organization.

@stevesobol, as soon as you are a member in the Bintray organization, you'll get the key from there. You'll have to add it in your local maven settings.xml in order to be able to deploy new cjwizard binary versions.
To speed things up: 1) make sure you have a Bintray account (I'd recommend the "login using Github account" way) and 2) make sure you have a local maven 3.x installation.

Best regards,
Peti

@stevesobol, I just invited you as a member of the cjwizard github organization. With this, you have "full rights" to the repo and as well to the github organization itself.

Let me know when you are ready with the Bintray user account...

And let me know, when I can help with something! :-)

from cjwizard.

I am on Bintray now, signed in with my Github credentials

@creswick may or may not recall our email conversations where I repeatedly apologized for not having enough time to work on the project. That ends this week. (Seriously.) I want to move forward with whatever bugfixes and enhancements are on the table first, and then we can figure out where we want to go from there.

One thing I've been thinking about is maybe adapting the library to work with Swing or JavaFX. Maybe we could discuss that later.

I'm going to need some guidance at first.

from cjwizard.

@stevesobol I definitely remember! I'd assumed you were just busy with other things. It's great that you're able to work on the project now!

from cjwizard.

@stevesobol I just invited you to the Bintray organization https://bintray.com/cjwizard

Let me know if you need some help getting started.

from cjwizard.

Thanks. Bintray says "29 days left in trial." It's still free for OSS, right? :)

I approved the invite.

CI is one area where I'll need to get up to speed. I've used TeamCity in the past, and I plan on using it for my own personal projects (I'm a current JetBrains customer and big fan of the company's products) -- but I've never used Travis CI. I'll be fine, just may need a little bit of hand-holding early on.

[facepalm]

@Petikoch, you may need to re-send that invite. I looked, and I'm on a trial of Bintray ENTERPRISE. I need to cancel that trial, but my organization will be deleted (which is fine with me).

Bear with me for a moment...

... OK. I cancelled, and my organization was deleted, but my account is still active and I'm still showing that I'm part of the cjwizard org. Thank $DEITY.

from cjwizard.

I have a sonatype account and can help setup maven to publish to there. it's definitely free

from cjwizard.

Thanks.

I have created https://cjwizard-devs.slack.com but didn't invite anyone yet. I did install the github and Travis CI apps in #general.

@stevesobol

• probably you can "downgrade" your bintray account to the OSS one?
• signup for the free OSS account would have been via https://bintray.com/signup/oss
• https://bintray.com/stevesobol is now "admin" member of https://bintray.com/cjwizard

@spyhunter99

• sure, you and @stevesobol can switch over to sonatype, if you want
• personally, I find bintray easier to use than sonatype
• and: bintray is already setup for cjwizard and ready to use
• and: bintray is also free (for OSS)

@stevesobol

I propose the following next steps

1. work on the source: pull requests / issues
2. setup a "developer page" with a "how to communicate (issues, slack, ...)", a "how to release", "details about the CI-server", ...
3. as soon as the source for next version is ready, get started with publishing to bintray or whatever
4. ...

Best regards,
Peti

from cjwizard.

• https://cjwizard-devs.slack.com/ (I'll need to invite people to the channel)
• Let's continue to use bintray. I can handle learning how to use it...
• @Petikoch that sounds like the way forward... excellent... Will you continue to be involved?

Also, Bintray gave me the option to downgrade to the OSS tier, so I did. My account is ready to use.

Whoever I need to add to the Slack channel... please email me, and let me know which email address you want invited to the channel. Thanks.

from cjwizard.

@stevesobol, my further involvement?

As mentioned, I'm not an active user of cjwizard anymore. But I'll be glad to help you getting started with the project maintenance/next steps.

What is your motivation @stevesobol for the involvement in cjwizard?

from cjwizard.

@Petikoch Ah... ok, I had to go re-read the first message in the thread. Yes, the help will be very deeply appreciated. Once I've familiarized myself with the project, I will be fine.

My motivation:

• My first real use of open-source software was Red Hat Linux 4.1 at my first-ever IT job, back in late 1995. I've been a fan of OSS and an OSS user ever since then, and I keep on promising myself that I'll give back to the community. This is a way to do that.
• I like what I initially saw in cjwizard, and I want to keep the project going.

from cjwizard.

Do we need to keep this bug open? Does anyone have any objections to me taking over the project?

from cjwizard.

I just released 1.0.9 on Github but I'm getting 401 Unauthorized when deploying to Bintray. Help please :(

from cjwizard.

I'm having trouble navigating around Bintray. I'm an admin, I should be able to set my own permissions to allow API access, but...

Also, if you're not working on the project anymore, can you make me owner of the cjwizard org on Bintray? Thanks.

from cjwizard.

from cjwizard.

Peti Koch is the current owner of that org

Yes. The request was actually directed at him :)

Since he is not an active developer, I expect that it might take him a day or two to respond. That's fine.

from cjwizard.

@stevesobol , you are now the "owner" of the cjwizard organization in bintray (https://bintray.com/cjwizard/organization/edit). Before, you were "admin".

from cjwizard.

@stevesobol, regarding your 401 Bintray upload issue...

How does your maven settings.xml look like? (see also #54 (comment))

Mine didn't. I didn't realize that Bintray can generate the settings.xml, so I generated it, and now it looks like yours but I'm still seeing HTTP 401s. Will continue to work on this.

So.... It's... significantly later than I'd hoped, but I'm actually devoting time to the project now, starting with the documentation. The "website" I have online at cjwizard.com is really just a landing page. I'm working on an actual website now, and actual docs.

RIP Bintray, and I don't want to screw around with Maven Central, so I am going to self-host. I'm running Sonatype Nexus OSS, and I've set up a Maven repository; there's nothing there yet, but you can browse the (currently empty) repo here.

Better late than never. I'm pleased to finally be able to put real work into this project, instead of just approving and merging the occasional pull request.
