Report content
Incubator PMC report for August 2017 The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. There are currently 53 podlings incubating. July was a quieter month for the incubator, summer holidays and what not. We executed seven podling releases this month, one podling retired but otherwise no other changes. * Community New IPMC members: - None People who left the IPMC: - None * New Podlings - None * Podlings that failed to report, expected next month - MRQL - Ratis * Graduations The board has motions for the following: - None * Retirements The following podlings retired this month: - HORN * Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of July: - 2017-07-06 Apache Gearpump 0.8.4 - 2017-07-06 Apaceh Traffic Control 2.0.0 - 2017-07-08 Apache Aria Tosca 0.1.0 - 2017-07-11 Apahce HAWQ 2.2.0.0 - 2017-07-18 Apache Griffin 0.1.5 - 2017-07-18 Apache Aria Tosca 0.1.1 - 2017-07-31 Apache Guacamole 0.9.13 * IP Clearance - We have begun work to clean up IP Clearance policies. First is to make it clear that the preference is ICLAs and CCLAs over SGAs. We have also seen better responsiveness after reasserting that the IPMC owns responsibility for all incoming code donations. * Legal / Trademarks * Infrastructure * Miscellaneous - A general issue of VPs within other cross functional areas of the ASF reaching out to podlings has started to surface. Specifically, I would like to request that the board supports a request that those areas should be reaching out to podlings directly with issues, escalating to the IPMC due to lack of follow through, rather than approaching the IPMC first. The Security team's model is a perfect example of what to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents BatchEE DataFu Edgent Fluo Gobblin Guacamole Heron Impala iota Joshua Livy MRQL NetBeans PredictionIO Pulsar S2Graph Slider Superset Tamaya Toree Unomi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- BatchEE BatchEE projects aims to provide a JBatch implementation (aka JSR352) and a set of useful extensions for this specification. BatchEE has been incubating since 2013-10-03. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Increase the community probably? 2. - 3. - Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No How has the community developed since the last report? Not much as expected being in between "spec" releases. How has the project developed since the last report? BatchEE is quite stable and therefore should probably head to graduation soon. How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary.

It seems we had some confusion with the LDAP when we added rsandtner as committer. We need to scan our mailing lists and check what is missing on the official status page. IPMC/Shepherd notes: team-list.html - this page shows no members or committers. I checked private and it looks like the last committer/ppmc add was in Dec 2015. User ML had questions from only one person at two different times in 2015. There is activity and it looks like a new release may happen soon. Dave Fisher -------------------- DataFu DataFu provides a collection of Hadoop MapReduce jobs and functions in higher level languages based on it to perform data analysis. It provides functions for common statistics tasks (e.g. quantiles, sampling), PageRank, stream sessionization, and set and bag operations. DataFu also provides Hadoop jobs for incremental data processing in MapReduce. DataFu has been incubating since 2014-01-05. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Positive IPMC recommendation vote for graduation 2. Address any IPMC feedback regarding graduation 3. Continue releases Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? * Community voted positively for graduation from Incubator. * New contributor opened and fixed DATAFU-124 How has the project developed since the last report? * Completed maturity evaluation checklist (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DATAFU/Maturity+Evaluation) * Drafted a graduation resolution (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DATAFU/Graduation+Resolution) How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary. [ ] Initial setup [ ] Working towards first release [ ] Community building [x] Nearing graduation [ ] Other: Date of last release: 2017-03-10 When were the last committers or PPMC members elected? July 2016 (Eyal Allweil) Signed-off-by: [ ](datafu) Ashutosh Chauhan Comments: [x](datafu) Roman Shaposhnik Comments: best of luck to this podling's graduation. They are a small, but a viable community [x](datafu) Ted Dunning Comments: Good luck to the community IPMC/Shepherd notes: Project is ready to graduate. I noticed a problem with their answer to QU30 on the Maturity model. It was in part a documentation issue. Raised it with the project and they are addressing the way that they are asking for security issues. Raised the documentation issue with ComDev and we fixed it. Dave Fisher -------------------- Edgent Apache Edgent is a programming SDK and micro-kernel style runtime that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in conjunction with centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the center to the edge. Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Create and expand a diverse community of contributors and committers around the Edgent project. 2. Attracting at least another independent committer/ppmc member. 3. Finding further real world users of Edgent Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No How has the community developed since the last report? * Total, we have 70 subscribers to our mailing list, an improvement of 5 since the last report. * We have had a noticeable increase in the number of information-seeking emails on the mailing list from new Edgent developers. * A San Francisco meetup has been scheduled for the 20th of September to demonstrate an Edgent video analytics application which was initially presented at ApacheCon 2017 (Video Analytics at the Edge: Fun with Apache Edgent, OpenCV and a Raspberry Pi). * In addition to Chris Dutz, we have had one non-committer PR merged. How has the project developed since the last report? * With the contributions of Christoper Dutz and Dale LaBossiere, the Edgent build system is undergoing an overhaul to Maven from Gradle. Maven provides benefits over Gradle, including a more rigid build structure, and the Maven package system. * According to JIRA, 13 new issues were added to the project and 6 issues have been resolved or closed between May 2017 and August 2017. How would you assess the podling's maturity? Edgent is making slow but consistent progress towards graduation. While we don't yet meet the diversity requirements, we put emphasis on community growth through outreach which will ultimately pave the way for additional committers and contributors. Additionally, before we graduate it is important that we find users outside of IBM. As most Edgent committers are employed by IBM, external stakeholders help ensure long term contribution to the project.

Gobblin has been incubating since 2017-02-23. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Cut our first release Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? We are very first steps of the project How has the project developed since the last report? * The code has been migrated now to the Apache Git Infra * Issues has been migrated to Apache Jira Infra * Site infrastructure has been created (now working on imported the content) * Discussion on setup Jenkins build How would you assess the podling's maturity? The podling is still on early stage. But a lot of progress and activities has been made recently.

Consistency in the discussions on mailing lists/ steady flow of source code contributions Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? @crostofolini and @rafaelweingartner are working on integrating the Spring framework into iota (pull request 35) We are waiting on a jar file to be removed from the test suit so that an initial release of the software can be produced. (The jar file is related to iota tests - need committer to publish the source code - enabling us to remove the jar artifact enabling the initial release of the software). The initial release will proceed without the Spring Framework Integration. We will add this in a future release. Ticket's are in place for the initial release. How has the project developed since the last report? Interest in using iota (including the Spring Framework) outside the committer group The email reflectors for dev and users have become more active. New functionality was added to iota - global performers. How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Signed-off-by: [ ](joshua) Paul Ramirez Comments: [X](joshua) Lewis John McGibbney Comments: [X](joshua) Chris Mattmann Comments: I updated status to nearing graduation. The community has grown and we have made a release. Not sure what else we need to do in the Incubator, but willing to wait a few months to sort it out. [X](joshua) Tom Barber Comments: The release was well organized and delivered thanks to Lewis and Tommaso, it feels to me like the Joshua developers need to be a little more proactive. As the report points out, community building is the biggest issue, I'm going to spend some time in the near future working with the PPMC to see what integrations, tutorials and demos we can do to drive developers and adoption which will hopefully expand the community. -------------------- Livy Livy is web service that exposes a REST interface for managing long running Apache Spark contexts in your cluster. With Livy, new applications can be built on top of Apache Spark that require fine grained interaction with many Spark contexts. Livy has been incubating since 2017-06-05.

Slider has been incubating since 2014-04-29. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Apache Slider community/PPMC has voted to move portions of Slider into Apache Hadoop YARN as modules. It is possible that the remaining pieces will be moved at a later point in time or become obsolete or evolve to work closely with YARN. Slider PPMC will decide what makes the most sense as we progress through this exciting time. 2. Getting more external users 3. Growth of a diverse set of developers/committers/PMC members is also crucial towards the final state of Slider Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No. How has the community developed since the last report? Mailing list activity has been lower due to the bulk of the development moving to an Apache Hadoop branch. Questions on usage and issues encountered by end users keep coming at regular intervals, keeping the DL fairly active. How has the project developed since the last report? Work continues in parallel on the Apache Hadoop yarn-native-services branch and on the Slider podling. The bulk of the work has been in yarn-native-services, while a few Slider patches (related to critical issues or agent-only issues) have been committed as well.

Will prod the community to send periodic dev-list updates demonstrating the current progress in this process. IPMC/Shepherd notes: johndament: Based on the description, as well as the little bit of information I've been able to get out of the Slider community, it seems that while there is a Slider community they're not actively working on Slider's codebase. My recommendation is probably to retire the Slider community if they cannot be absorbed into the Hadoop TLP. -------------------- Superset Superset is an enterprise-ready web application for data exploration, data visualization and dashboarding. Superset has been incubating since 2017-05-21. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Grow the community and enroll new committers. 2. Plan and execute our first Apache release 3. Address the challenge that React is no longer allowed in Apache projects Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? * Superset is heavily reliant upon React, however React has the same patent clause as RocksDB, which ASF had condoned use of until RocksDB backtracked and removed that clause. Our team is concerned about the implications and we are looking for guidance (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-320) * The team is working on finishing up all the items on the Incubation Checklist. How has the community developed since the last report? * Organic growth of our Github contributors (148), forks (2,153), watchers (770) and stars (15,075) How has the project developed since the last report? * The code repository now lives at https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset on Apache’s infrastructure * We have migrated the project website to the Apache website: http://superset.apache.org/ * A healthy, constant flow of bug fixes, quality improvements and new features, take a look at the project’s Pulse on Github for more details How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Tamaya has been incubating since 2014-11-14. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Release version 0.3 of Tamaya Core and Extensions 2. Start a new Howto/blog series about Tamaya and its new features 3. Use attention of these releases to gather new committers Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? We'd like to graduate soon. How has the community developed since the last report? No changes, due to holiday season a slightly lower activity. How has the project developed since the last report? Release of Core 0.3 is out, extensions just passed the IPMC approval. How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary.

It provides a high-performance user profile and event tracking server. Unomi has been incubating since 2015-10-05. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. During the three last months, we did bunch of bug fixes and we are preparing new maintenance release. We also working on a feature branch with major dependencies update (Apache Karaf 4, ...) and refactoring on some Unomi internals (like the tags). 2. If we did good improvements on the user community front, we would like to increase the developer community and see more contributions. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? The user community grew up (according messages and feedback we go). We think that we are getting close to graduation and we will define an action plan with the topics to address for this. How has the project developed since the last report? We are still preparing 1.2.0-incubating release including more bug fixes. We also started a 2.0.0-incubating branch with major dependencies update (Apache Karaf 4.x, Elasticsearch 5.x, ...) and refactoring of some internals. How would you assess the podling's maturity?

In addition, their website continues to use the old incubator logo. On the flip side, activity is high on the mailing lists so I'm a bit surprised it took extra effort to get a report submitted. Keep up the activity levels.
