Incubator PMC report for June 2017

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases
wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.

At the end of May, there were 60 podlings incubating.  Podlings executed six
releases this month.  The incubator brought in one new podling, and the board
has motions to graduate three podlings from the incubator.  One IPMC member
stepped down while two new IPMC members joined.

Many reports below were signed off by a single mentor.  The Incubator PMC
shall begin to plan for a way to address this.

* Community

New IPMC members:

- Bikas Saha
- Bob Paulin

People who left the IPMC:

- Par Niclas Hedhman

* New Podlings

- Superset

* Podlings that failed to report, expected next month

- HORN - No on list discussions recently.
- MRQL - No on list discussion in past 3 months, limited discussions prior to
that.
- Myriad - Discussing retirement
- Sirona - Likely to be retired or moved as a sub-project by next report

* Graduations

The board has motions for the following:

- Atlas
- MADlib
- Mynewt

* Releases

The following releases entered distribution during the month of May:

- 2017-05-01 Apache Trafodion 2.1.0
- 2017-05-04 Apache Mnemonic 0.7.0-incubating
- 2017-05-09 Apache Airflow 1.8.1

AriaTosca

ARIA TOSCA project offers an easily consumable Software Development Kit(SDK)
and a Command Line Interface(CLI) to implement TOSCA(Topology and
Orchestration Specification of Cloud Applications) based solutions.

AriaTosca has been incubating since 2016-08-27.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

 1. Grow the community and enroll new committers.
 2. Have frequent Release cycles to be compliant with the Apache Way.
 3. Move the website to apache.org

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?

The project is ready for its first release as far as the code is concerned;
We're working on updating the README and ensuring compatibility with ASF's
regulations regarding creating releases. On the latter issue, we've come
across a few possible problems, that are being discussed on the project's
mailing list. For more information, see the threads "ARIA dependencies License
issues" and "A few questions about creating a release" on the mailing list
archive.


How has the community developed since the last report?

* All project communication takes now place on either the mailing list or
  ASF's Slack, and is open for everybody.
* Increased chatter on the mailing list including new subscribers who ask
  questions, make suggestions and are likely to become contributors themselves
  in the near future.

How has the project developed since the last report?

1. ARIA now has a CLI, making it usable as a stand alone tool as well as a
library. 2. Usage examples have been added 3. End-to-End tests now run on a
daily basis (as well as on CIs for every commit) 4. 93 JIRA issues have been
resolved since the last report

      It's clear most of them want to do it, but need to work on getting
      focused to make it happen.

Joshua

Joshua is a statistical machine translation toolkit

Joshua has been incubating since 2016-02-13.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

 1. Release Apache Joshua incubating 6.1 (rc4) and then begin development on
   7.X branch.
 2. Identifying specific use cases that we might excel at.
 3. Attracting active developers and users.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?

There is currently an ongoing VOTE thread over on general@incubator regarding
the proposed release of Apache Joshua incubating 6.1 (rc4). If this goes
through it will be a significant achievement for the podling. 

How has the community developed since the last report?

There are ongoing discussion threads on user@ regarding integration of Joshua
with Mailman. There are no new community members. Some members of the Joshua
PPMC became Apache members post this years annual meeting. Henry Yandell is
now emeritus mentor.

How has the project developed since the last report?

The community has been iterating on Apache Joshua incubating 6.1 RC's as well
as refining the release process. We have pretty much addressed all concerns
now so subsequent releases should be easier.

How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own
commentary.

 [X] Initial setup DONE
 [X] Working towards first release VERY CLOSE
 [ ] Community building Joshua was not represented at ApacheCon this year

    Comments: There has been a slight bottleneck with committers bandwidth and

      bottleneck 
    will reduce when have iterated through a few more releases to iron out the

         i.e., https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk.github.io
     under the Apache Github org. 
         i.e. http://openwhisk.incubator.apache.org/
     and automatic Jenkins build to compile the static website 
     (using current Jekyll) build and automate publishing
     to our incubator site. looking at using the “GitPubSub” tool:
     https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/git_based_websites_available
 2. Complete updating all source files with approved ASF header (incl. JS)
 3. Credentials sharing process for social media sites (e.g., Twitter, 
     YouTube, Medium, etc.) to provide access to PPMC members.
 
     Continue working through project incubation checklists on CWIKI
     Compliance Checklist for OpenWhisk.org website.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?

 - Travis is still taking much longer under the Apache org. within GitHub then
   it did under the previous openwhisk.org and experiencing build time-outs.
   Developers are looking to reduce build dependencies to shorten build times
   by using pre-built Docker images, as well as optimizing CI tests.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 - Successful sessions / Shark Tank / BoF at ApacheCon NA 2017.
   - OpenWhisk booth presence very active with great interest in architecture.
 - GitHub project “Stars” = 1511 (up from 1395 last month) with 310 forks.
    - a couple new contributors in devtools/kube repos.
    - new ICLA from Vadim Raskin
 - “dev", “private” email list traffic continues to be healthy; positive
   discussion of a few new code feature/change topics.
 - requested/created new “issues” list to provide separate destination
   for GitHub issues emails / separate from “commits” and allow better
     “searchability"
 - Increased traffic on Slack “general” channel.  Install/deployment questions
   - setup/config/local build questions/errors being addressed.
 - Under our public Slack Team (openwhisk-team.slack.com). 
       - Added a new channel named “kubernetes” for discussion of our new 
         Kubernetes deployment (project/repo.)
 - Moving all GitHub issue emails to new “issues” list
 - Exploring forwarding “dev” Slack threads to “dev” email list

How has the project developed since the last report?
 - 29/30 Repositories moved from “openwhisk” to “apache” org. under
   GitHub successfully.  
   - Addressing Travis (URL) changes repo-by-repo, fixing GitHub event/emails
     being sent to “dev” lists incorrectly, 
   - Repo. topic/description changes/updates being done as encountered with
     INFRA.
 - Created the incubator-openwhisk-deploy-kube repo. to host a brand new
   deployment (still experimental) to Kubernetes.
 - Created the incubator-openwhisk-utilities repo. to host cross-project
   utilities;
   moved code scanning tool there and working through repos. to reference the
   tool in Travis.
 - Confluence WIKI
   (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENWHISK/OpenWhisk+Project+Wi
     ki)
   adds/udaptes pages for:
   - Improved new Committer process / instructions
 - Incubator status site: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openwhisk.html
   - updated all sections to be up-to-date as of 2017-05-15.
 - Active “dev” discussions on:
   - DockerContainer implementation with a MesosTask
  - Performance testing (new repo.?)
  - Potential use of PassportJS as a new “package” for OAuth integration
 - New features: 
   - Progress on splitting out CLI from main project and making it “pluggable”
     (i.e., incubator-openwhisk-cli and incubator-openwhisk-client-go)
   - HA enabling of 
  - improve monitoring (especially of containers) to elasticsearch.

SAMOA

SAMOA provides a collection of distributed streaming algorithms for the most
common data mining and machine learning tasks such as classification,
clustering, and regression, as well as programming abstractions to develop new
algorithms that run on top of distributed stream processing engines (DSPEs).
It features a pluggable architecture that allows it to run on several DSPEs
such as Apache Flink, Apache Storm, Apache Apex and Apache Samza.

SAMOA has been incubating since 2014-12-15.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

 1. Grow the developer base
 2. Grow the user base
 3. Add some more ML techniques

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?

Mailing list activity (March 2017 - May 2017):
 * @dev: 38 messages

 Jira issues backlog (March 2017 - May 2017):
 * Created:  6
 * Resolved: 1

 - We organized a 2-day internal workshop on SAMOA at Telefonica I+D with
   researchers of Orange Labs, Telecom Paris and QCRI. Various have been
   discussed to improve SAMOA's ML and other interfaces with systems like
   Kafka, etc.

 - We submitted a proposal for funding which will help the development of new
   features on Samoa.

 - We have been working on a new release 0.5.0, probably coming up in one
   month. This release will have support for Kafka, a more well-rounded
   support for Avro and Json formats, as well as support to store predictions
   outputted from the model.

 - There was also significant work done to integrate correctly the instances
   between MOA and SAMOA, as there was a deviation of how they were defined
   and hindered the portability of new methods from MOA to SAMOA.
 
 - Early discussions to increase the committers / developers team by inviting
   new contributors to the panel.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 - We are looking into new ML techniques for development.

 - Worked on the integration of Samoa-MOA instances

 - Engaging interactions with new parties (Orange Labs) and potential
   collaborations

Slider

Slider is a collection of tools and technologies to package, deploy, and
manage long running applications on Apache Hadoop YARN clusters.

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.

-------------------- 
Spot

Apache Spot is a solution stack that provides the capability to ingest IT
related telemetry (network flows, domain name service DNS, and proxy server
logs) and provide unsupervised machine learning capabilities to identify
suspicious activity.  The information is organized and presented using
operational analytics so that a security analyst can investigate the most
suspicious connections. Apache Spot is built on an open data model using
Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop.

Spot has been incubating since 2016-09-23.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

 1.  Move infrastructure and development to ASF (code, issues, mailing list,
   ...)
 2.  Build diverse community
 3.  Demonstrate ability to create releases

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of? Two out of the four mentors are the ones showing the most active
participation and involvement on the project so we need to discuss with IPMC
our options to get the other two replaced.

How has the community developed since the last report? By remaking the
Community section on the Project webpage and driving users on Slack to limit
the usage of the same tool just for quick interactions, the traffic over Mail
Lists has increased, we still need to continue driving usage questions to USER
list. A group of Developers from Brazil is coming with a proposal for UX and
UI, based on the merits of the proposal, and the potential that the same has
we have invited them to become Committers on the projects. 
The initial purpose of the Project on Network & Security needs to expand the
scope to IT Analytics to cover other uses cases and/or enrich content with
User and Endpoint data. While a normalization framework has been drafted to
what we call Open Data Model we still need more work and contributions on
technical delivery to make it a reality. Contributions to improve the concept
of Ingestion Pipeline & Data Lake are delivered with more cadence, there is a
recognition from Community to normalize data to open the space for other
sources of Ingestion

How has the project developed since the last report? The team has created the
epic on ASF JIRA towards the first Apache release, we’re working now including
the user stories that will be part of release, and doing checks to what can be
delivered before we do the the formal announcement on DEV for the code freeze.
Integrations for context enrichment are critical, however also the need of
bringing a plugin manager where does can be handled, the Spec was drafted, and
the team now is finalizing the last Pull requests to begin merging
functionality onto project code. Documentation is an area of focus so from May
to July committers we’ll continue improving & detailing more, architecture
definitions, deployment options, and UI usage sections. As the whole delivery
is concluded we’ll vote for a FAQ section which can be a point of reference
for common issues/situations. Being part of ASF is important Community
requests that project enables integration/consumption of other Apache
projects, one of our DEVOPS committers, for that reason having an API
framework now will open the door for more smooth integrations. 

Date of last release: N/A

When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Last committer was
elected on 06/02 

How does the podling rate their own maturity? By know we’re almost ready to do
our first Apache Release which is good, but we still need to mature Community,
the ramping of other Contributors has been slow, we have a strong base of
Consumer positive aspect as it probed consumption, however more Commits from
other interested parties will accelerate functionality delivery.

Streams

Apache Streams (incubating) unifies a diverse world of digital profiles and
online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes these
datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and platforms for
streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases.

Streams has been incubating since 2012-11-20.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

1. Community growth and PMC maturity. 2. Demonstrate a consistent release
schedule. 3. Participation of project community within related
standards-bodies and Apache projects.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?

The community has completed an internal assessment using the Apache Maturity
Model to identify gaps that should be addressed before graduation.

The community is working against a task list of graduation TODOs:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/STREAMS/Graduation+TODOs

It is likely that Streams will pursue graduation to TLP during the coming
quarter.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?

* No issues require attention at this time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

* Toree's 0.1.0-incubating release is a good step forward. The first Apache
  release is the most difficult, so clearing that hurdle should make further
  releases easier.
* The community has also added a new PPMC member and mentor.

How has the project developed since the last report?

* Apache Toree 0.1.0-incubating release on 2017-02-21
* Apache Toree website updated

How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own
commentary.

    Comments:
      Wave continues as a very small scale project. It hovers just under the
        threshold of sufficient
      participation for graduation, whilst is too active to argue for
        retirement.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:

 johndament: Considering your comments, are there additional contributors who
   you think may make sense to start to invite?
 upayavira: perhaps a new mentor might bring something new, but repeated
   efforts to draw in new contributors have not brought the kind of interest
   the project needs. It remains one active PPMC member below the minimum for
   graduation. Any help warmly accepted, even if short term.
