Hi Guillaume,

You need to be invited to be a viewer or member on projects before you can
add them to workspaces. In those screenshots, the only projects appearing
are ones that you are a member or viewer of. In order to have the CF public
projects appear there, you must be invited to the projects.

I understand that it would be burdensome to ask all of the project owners
to invite you to the relevant projects. We are currently working on a
feature that will allow any account member to self-join projects so that
this isn't as difficult. This would require you to become a member of the
account that owns the CF public projects, but once you are a member, you
could join any of the shared or public projects. We expect that to release
later this year (it is part of the body of work that is ahead of Viewers
can follow).

Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

I double checked, and I still am unable to add public cloudfoundry
tracker projects to my workspaces to be able to search mutiple trackers.
See screenshots below (I'm a reader member of CLI project following kind
invite by Dies Koper). There must be something I got wrong, I'd welcome
help or documentation pointers, and confirmation by other CF community
members that they are able to create such workspaces without being member
of the CF public projects.

Thanks in advance,

Related to the use of workspaces to search across multiple public
pivotal trackers, I understand a workspace can only contain projects the
logged in user is member of. Is there a possibility that I missed to add
the public cloudfoundry tracker projects (whose non core contributors are
not member of), or would that be a feature enabled along with the upcoming
"viewers can follow" feature ?

Yes, once Viewers can follow, they'll be able to set notifications

Searching across multiple Tracker projects is already possible with

there will be no more value in discovering GH issues mirrors.

Are there future plans in the tracker to enable viewers to get
notifications for all stories in the backlog ? If not, the promising stack
integration [4], which requires PT project owners to configure the Slack
webhook URL, could help. With collaboration from owners of the Foundation
trackers, this could result into a slack channel per PT project, where
community members can watch related activity, much like what the buildpacks
team have already set up into [b].

The remaining added value for the mirrored GH issues will then be:
- community members "commenting" backlogs in context.
- searching across multiple PT projects

Is the tracker team also planning to address the latter two use-cases
?

Dear Guillaume,

Thanks for your efforts in this direction. As I already stated
before, it is really a pain that you are not able to follow stories or
comment when not being a member in a Pivotaltracker project. However,
github issues aren’t more than a crutch, probably not even a good one.

For example, GH issues cannot be ordered. They are in the order of
creation, priorization is not visible. Therefore, if you look e.g. at the
BOSH mirror [1], there are a bunch of “unstarted” and “unscheduled” issues,
the first “started” one comes on page 2. For bugs, it gets more confusing.
Most people have the github bot activated, which creates a PT story for
each GH issue created. This is already confusing, because you have two
places where potentially updates to this bug could be located in, and
nobody knows where to look. Add in the mirroring, and now you have three
places, see an example for the buildpacks [2]. All of this is not your
fault, it is a restriction on how GH deals with issues and the fact that
we’re distributing information over more than one place.

While I appreciate your efforts and time spent on this: I strongly
feel that is an issue that can only be solved by one of two options:
• The Pivotaltracker team implementing the necessary functionality
• Migrating to a different tracker

I’m trying all I can to push for the first option by talking to
Dan and Lisa, but other features seem to be more important to the PT team.
In November, it has been a year since I asked for this, so my confidence
isn’t very high that it is going to happen at all. For me that just means
option two is getting more and more realistic every day.

Warm regards
Marco

Hi,


The mirroring of foundation projects is around 60% complete.
See [5] for more detailed coverage. This should enable community members to
watch the most active foundation backlogs. I received no notifications of
negative side effects of this mirroring so
far. I'll proceed with mirroring the remaining projects in
the next days/weeks.

There are interesting next steps that could be tackled, such
as enabling commenting on the backlogs, or searching across all foundation
backlog history, see [3]. Let me know if you have interests in discussing
these next steps and current challenges faced by
the mirroring process. The upcoming Frankfurt cfsummit
unconference on monday might be a good place for this, I'd propose a
subject if I receive some interest.


Thanks,

We hope this could bring the following benefits to the CF

3. allow use of

4. mirrored content becomes discoverable: search engines
index it, making it easier to find mirrored PT content such as a stack trace

This is still experimental work. We would like to hear
community feedback about this initiative (how is it useful?), as well as
core contributor teams (are there unexpected side-effects that need to be
handled beyond what we fixed so far [3]?) Do you have
suggestions for enhancements: can you comment/vote/improve in

Our plan is to progressively extend this experiment to more
trackers listed in [5] (in a rate of a few projects per week). Please
report issues on [3] if you observe negative side effects, or reply to this
email if you have concerns about this mirroring.



There still a fair amount of work ahead to convert this
experiment into a stable tool, and opportunities to provide some new cool
features to the community. Contributions are welcome :-)



Thanks,


Guillaume.



ps: I also recently noticed a PT slack integration [4] that
would also cover use-case #1 (get notifications for all stories in a

Dear Dan, dear Lisa, dear Chip, dear community,

sorry for digging out this old issue again and again. If you
are just tuning in, here is the situation
·
I like Pivotal Tracker as a product
·
I have to use Tracker for my daily work, as it is currently
mandatory for all CFF projects and all of them use it
·
The restrictions in pivotal tracker make it hard to impossible
to do the daily stuff you want to do within a large open-source community.

After initially bringing this up in November last year, here
are a few of the problems I addressed with Dan in a hangout session in
February:
·
To follow stories in a project you need to be a member of that
project. Therefore, you cannot track progress on stories in other projects.
·
To comment on stories, the same restrictions as above apply

It has been 3 months since Dan and I talked, I’ve checked back
every 4 weeks with him and what I’ve heard so far is ideas. I haven’t seen
a prototype, any specifics on the current state,
any planning details. It’s not like I’m demanding this
feature should be done by now – I just want to know what is going on.

I have to say I am very unhappy in how this topic is treated.
From my point of view, it seems like there is a huge lack of transparency
and feedback. Please, let me know what’s going on.
I don’t want to switch to a different tracker, such as e.g.
trello, but if the requirements of a large open-source community aren’t
heard, then I don’t know what else to do about this.

Warm regards
Marco

PS: What about a public tracker backlog in tracker, so people
can follow their favorite feature stories and see where they are in the
planning and when they’re done?

Dear all,



it has now been more than a month since I sent my feedback
concerning this feature to the tracker team – I haven't received any
reaction to it.

@Chip:
Is there an option you could weigh in for this from the
Foundation perspective? That would be great!



Sorry for being so stubborn about this, but in my opinion this
is a crucial feature for a bug tracker/backlog which is used in an
open-source product. I know that all the people
working directly at pivotal don't feel the pain, because they
can either talk directly to everyone in person or have the necessary rights
to comment/follow in the other projects, but for everyone else this is
really, really a problem.

Hi Guillaume,

Workspaces can only contain projects that the user is a member OR viewer

just tuning in, here is the situation
·
I like Pivotal Tracker as a product
·
I have to use Tracker for my daily work, as it is currently
mandatory for all CFF projects and all of them use it
·
The restrictions in pivotal tracker make it hard to impossible
to do the daily stuff you want to do within a large open-source community.

After initially bringing this up in November last year, here are
a few of the problems I addressed with Dan in a hangout session in February:
·
To follow stories in a project you need to be a member of that
project. Therefore, you cannot track progress on stories in other projects.
·
To comment on stories, the same restrictions as above apply

It has been 3 months since Dan and I talked, I’ve checked back
every 4 weeks with him and what I’ve heard so far is ideas. I haven’t seen
a prototype, any specifics on the current state,
any planning details. It’s not like I’m demanding this feature
should be done by now – I just want to know what is going on.

I have to say I am very unhappy in how this topic is treated.
From my point of view, it seems like there is a huge lack of transparency
and feedback. Please, let me know what’s going on.
I don’t want to switch to a different tracker, such as e.g.
trello, but if the requirements of a large open-source community aren’t
heard, then I don’t know what else to do about this.

Warm regards
Marco

PS: What about a public tracker backlog in tracker, so people
can follow their favorite feature stories and see where they are in the
planning and when they’re done?

Dear all,

concerning this feature to the tracker team – I haven't received any

@Chip:
Is there an option you could weigh in for this from the

Sorry for being so stubborn about this, but in my opinion this
is a crucial feature for a bug tracker/backlog which is used in an
open-source product. I know that all the people
working directly at pivotal don't feel the pain, because they
can either talk directly to everyone in person or have the necessary rights
to comment/follow in the other projects, but for everyone else this is
really, really a problem.

Hi Guillaume,

Yes, once Viewers can follow, they'll be able to set notifications like
any project member can. That is, they'll be able to get notifications on an
entire project. Commenting, however, would continue to be restricted to
project members.

Searching across multiple Tracker projects is already possible with
Workspaces
<http://www.pivotaltracker.com/help/articles/managing_multiple_projects_workspaces/>,
but we understand that this feature is limited by not being able to share
workspaces across users. In 2017, we hope to begin building in better
cross-project or portfolio visibility.

Thanks,
Lisa

Thanks Lisa, the "Viewers can follow" feature will be very useful to the
CF community. I plan to redact the GH issue mirrors as to reduce the
confusion caused by implicit cross links between issues that Marco reminded
(see related [a]). When the "Viewers can follow" feature is available,
there will be no more value in discovering GH issues mirrors.

Are there future plans in the tracker to enable viewers to get
notifications for all stories in the backlog ? If not, the promising stack
integration [4], which requires PT project owners to configure the Slack
webhook URL, could help. With collaboration from owners of the Foundation
trackers, this could result into a slack channel per PT project, where
community members can watch related activity, much like what the buildpacks
team have already set up into [b].

The remaining added value for the mirrored GH issues will then be:
- community members "commenting" backlogs in context.
- searching across multiple PT projects

Is the tracker team also planning to address the latter two use-cases ?

Dear Guillaume,

Thanks for your efforts in this direction. As I already stated before,
it is really a pain that you are not able to follow stories or comment when
not being a member in a Pivotaltracker project. However, github issues
aren’t more than a crutch, probably not even a good one.

For example, GH issues cannot be ordered. They are in the order of
creation, priorization is not visible. Therefore, if you look e.g. at the
BOSH mirror [1], there are a bunch of “unstarted” and “unscheduled” issues,
the first “started” one comes on page 2. For bugs, it gets more confusing.
Most people have the github bot activated, which creates a PT story for
each GH issue created. This is already confusing, because you have two
places where potentially updates to this bug could be located in, and
nobody knows where to look. Add in the mirroring, and now you have three
places, see an example for the buildpacks [2]. All of this is not your
fault, it is a restriction on how GH deals with issues and the fact that
we’re distributing information over more than one place.

While I appreciate your efforts and time spent on this: I strongly
feel that is an issue that can only be solved by one of two options:
• The Pivotaltracker team implementing the necessary functionality
• Migrating to a different tracker

I’m trying all I can to push for the first option by talking to Dan
and Lisa, but other features seem to be more important to the PT team. In
November, it has been a year since I asked for this, so my confidence isn’t
very high that it is going to happen at all. For me that just means option
two is getting more and more realistic every day.

Warm regards
Marco

Hi,


The mirroring of foundation projects is around 60% complete. See
[5] for more detailed coverage. This should enable community members to
watch the most active foundation backlogs. I received no notifications of
negative side effects of this mirroring so
far. I'll proceed with mirroring the remaining projects in the
next days/weeks.

There are interesting next steps that could be tackled, such as
enabling commenting on the backlogs, or searching across all foundation
backlog history, see [3]. Let me know if you have interests in discussing
these next steps and current challenges faced by
the mirroring process. The upcoming Frankfurt cfsummit
unconference on monday might be a good place for this, I'd propose a
subject if I receive some interest.


Thanks,


Guillaume.

Hi,


We have prototyped at Orange an automatic mirroring of Pivotal
Tracker (PT) stories into github issues. See pivotaltrackermirror at [1],
and the experimental mirror of the buildpack tracker at [2]. I'd like to
thanks the buildpacks team for accepting to join
this experiment and providing us with feedback in the past few
weeks.

We hope this could bring the following benefits to the CF
community:

1. allow use of the
watching notifications <https://help.github.com/artic
les/about-notifications/#types-of-notifications> github feature to
track progress on public pivotal trackers projects: all stories or selected
stories of interest.
2. allow use of
github search features <https://help.github.com/artic
les/searching-github> to search Pivotal Tracker content (e.g. accross
multiple mirrored PT projects, or along with other github repositories
hosting the associated code)
3. allow use of
github @mentions <https://help.github.com/artic
les/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#mentioning-users-and-teams>
to contact github accounts associated with PT public projects contributors,
in the context with a specific mirrored story
4. mirrored content becomes discoverable: search engines index
it, making it easier to find mirrored PT content such as a stack trace

This is still experimental work. We would like to hear community
feedback about this initiative (how is it useful?), as well as core
contributor teams (are there unexpected side-effects that need to be
handled beyond what we fixed so far [3]?) Do you have
suggestions for enhancements: can you comment/vote/improve in [3]?


Our plan is to progressively extend this experiment to more
trackers listed in [5] (in a rate of a few projects per week). Please
report issues on [3] if you observe negative side effects, or reply to this
email if you have concerns about this mirroring.



There still a fair amount of work ahead to convert this experiment
into a stable tool, and opportunities to provide some new cool features to
the community. Contributions are welcome :-)



Thanks,


Guillaume.



ps: I also recently noticed a PT slack integration [4] that would
also cover use-case #1 (get notifications for all stories in a tracker).
I'm not yet sure what it takes to add it to a given channel.

Disregard what I said earlier. I think John's right. The output from
staging is showing...

Staging...
-----> Nothing to do.

That looks like it could be coming from the null-buildpack.

https://github.com/ryandotsmith/null-buildpack/blob/master/bin/compile

So try specifying `-b java_buildpack_offline` to `cf push` or `buildpack:
java_buildpack_offline` in your manifest.yml. That will force it to use
the JBP. Then see what happens. Like John said, there might be something
off with the JAR file that you also need to fix.

Please Help,

What is the system you are targeting? For example, a bosh lite install,
PCF-dev, PWS, Bluemix, other? If it's a system you deployed, which CF
Release & Diego release are you using?

Also, can you push *any* applications to it successfully? Maybe try a few
samples from here [1] and see if any of them work.

2016-09-28T07:05:58.000+00:00 [APP] **ERR Usage: /tmp/lifecycle/launcher

<app directory> <start command> <metadata>**

It's this output that has me concerned. You might also want to check the
cell logs to see if there's any additional output on why the launcher is
failing or what arguments it's being given (that it clearly doesn't like).

Dear Guillaume,

Thanks for your efforts in this direction. As I already stated before,
it is really a pain that you are not able to follow stories or comment when
not being a member in a Pivotaltracker project. However, github issues
aren’t more than a crutch, probably not even a good one.

For example, GH issues cannot be ordered. They are in the order of
creation, priorization is not visible. Therefore, if you look e.g. at the
BOSH mirror [1], there are a bunch of “unstarted” and “unscheduled” issues,
the first “started” one comes on page 2. For bugs, it gets more confusing.
Most people have the github bot activated, which creates a PT story for
each GH issue created. This is already confusing, because you have two
places where potentially updates to this bug could be located in, and
nobody knows where to look. Add in the mirroring, and now you have three
places, see an example for the buildpacks [2]. All of this is not your
fault, it is a restriction on how GH deals with issues and the fact that
we’re distributing information over more than one place.

While I appreciate your efforts and time spent on this: I strongly feel
that is an issue that can only be solved by one of two options:
• The Pivotaltracker team implementing the necessary functionality
• Migrating to a different tracker

I’m trying all I can to push for the first option by talking to Dan and
Lisa, but other features seem to be more important to the PT team. In
November, it has been a year since I asked for this, so my confidence isn’t
very high that it is going to happen at all. For me that just means option
two is getting more and more realistic every day.

Warm regards
Marco

Hi,


The mirroring of foundation projects is around 60% complete. See [5]
for more detailed coverage. This should enable community members to watch
the most active foundation backlogs. I received no notifications of
negative side effects of this mirroring so
far. I'll proceed with mirroring the remaining projects in the next
days/weeks.

There are interesting next steps that could be tackled, such as
enabling commenting on the backlogs, or searching across all foundation
backlog history, see [3]. Let me know if you have interests in discussing
these next steps and current challenges faced by
the mirroring process. The upcoming Frankfurt cfsummit unconference
on monday might be a good place for this, I'd propose a subject if I
receive some interest.


Thanks,


Guillaume.

Hi,


We have prototyped at Orange an automatic mirroring of Pivotal
Tracker (PT) stories into github issues. See pivotaltrackermirror at [1],
and the experimental mirror of the buildpack tracker at [2]. I'd like to
thanks the buildpacks team for accepting to join
this experiment and providing us with feedback in the past few
weeks.

We hope this could bring the following benefits to the CF community:

1. allow use of the
watching notifications <https://help.github.com/artic
les/about-notifications/#types-of-notifications> github feature to
track progress on public pivotal trackers projects: all stories or selected
stories of interest.
2. allow use of
github search features <https://help.github.com/artic
les/searching-github> to search Pivotal Tracker content (e.g. accross
multiple mirrored PT projects, or along with other github repositories
hosting the associated code)
3. allow use of
github @mentions <https://help.github.com/artic
les/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#mentioning-users-and-teams> to
contact github accounts associated with PT public projects contributors, in
the context with a specific mirrored story
4. mirrored content becomes discoverable: search engines index it,
making it easier to find mirrored PT content such as a stack trace

This is still experimental work. We would like to hear community
feedback about this initiative (how is it useful?), as well as core
contributor teams (are there unexpected side-effects that need to be
handled beyond what we fixed so far [3]?) Do you have
suggestions for enhancements: can you comment/vote/improve in [3]?


Our plan is to progressively extend this experiment to more trackers
listed in [5] (in a rate of a few projects per week). Please report issues
on [3] if you observe negative side effects, or reply to this email if you
have concerns about this mirroring.



There still a fair amount of work ahead to convert this experiment
into a stable tool, and opportunities to provide some new cool features to
the community. Contributions are welcome :-)



Thanks,


Guillaume.



ps: I also recently noticed a PT slack integration [4] that would
also cover use-case #1 (get notifications for all stories in a tracker).
I'm not yet sure what it takes to add it to a given channel.

Dear Dan, dear Lisa, dear Chip, dear community,

sorry for digging out this old issue again and again. If you are
just tuning in, here is the situation
·
I like Pivotal Tracker as a product
·
I have to use Tracker for my daily work, as it is currently
mandatory for all CFF projects and all of them use it
·
The restrictions in pivotal tracker make it hard to impossible to do
the daily stuff you want to do within a large open-source community.

After initially bringing this up in November last year, here are a
few of the problems I addressed with Dan in a hangout session in February:
·
To follow stories in a project you need to be a member of that
project. Therefore, you cannot track progress on stories in other projects.
·
To comment on stories, the same restrictions as above apply

It has been 3 months since Dan and I talked, I’ve checked back every
4 weeks with him and what I’ve heard so far is ideas. I haven’t seen a
prototype, any specifics on the current state,
any planning details. It’s not like I’m demanding this feature
should be done by now – I just want to know what is going on.

I have to say I am very unhappy in how this topic is treated. From
my point of view, it seems like there is a huge lack of transparency and
feedback. Please, let me know what’s going on.
I don’t want to switch to a different tracker, such as e.g. trello,
but if the requirements of a large open-source community aren’t heard, then
I don’t know what else to do about this.

Warm regards
Marco

PS: What about a public tracker backlog in tracker, so people can
follow their favorite feature stories and see where they are in the
planning and when they’re done?

Dear all,



it has now been more than a month since I sent my feedback
concerning this feature to the tracker team – I haven't received any
reaction to it.

@Chip:
Is there an option you could weigh in for this from the Foundation
perspective? That would be great!



Sorry for being so stubborn about this, but in my opinion this is a
crucial feature for a bug tracker/backlog which is used in an open-source
product. I know that all the people
working directly at pivotal don't feel the pain, because they can
either talk directly to everyone in person or have the necessary rights to
comment/follow in the other projects, but for everyone else this is really,
really a problem.

Unfortunately in order to follow a story in tracker, the minimum

I have just replied to ask if they'd consider an enhancement. Not
