Incubator PMC report for May 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 presently 59 podlings incubating.  Podlings executed seven releases
in April, including the first release from ODF Toolkit in a long time.  One
IPMC member stepped down in April, and one new member joined.

* Releases

  The following releases entered distribution during the month of
  April:

  - 2017-04-01 Apache Guacamole    0.9.12
  - 2017-04-02 Apache Gossip       0.1.2
  - 2017-04-10 Apache ODF Toolkit  0.6.2

  - 2017-04-28 Apache Gearpump     0.8.3
  - 2017-04-28 Apache Juneau       6.2.0

* Legal / Trademarks

  - Podlings struggle with their first releases.  There has been growing asks
    to revisit the binaries in source releases policy as a number of newer
    build tools rely on including a small JAR to ease the build process.
    Several IPMC members have voiced interest in following up with legal in
    this area.

* Infrastructure

  - There were small hiccups with the Metron graduation that may need some
    refinement between IPMC, Infrastructure and Trademarks/Press.
  - The other graduations and Pirk's retirement went smoothly.
  - In addition, thanks to some strong collaboration with Infrastructure we
    now have a podlings [AT] incubator DOT apache DOT org to better
    communicate with the podlings as a whole.

* Miscellaneous

  - The new podling logo has been announced to all podlings.  Some have
    already implemented the new logo and it looks much better on websites.
  - The new incubator website is being worked on, slowly.  We may start by
    simply porting the existing content and then refining policies.
  - We have refined our processes to communicate out that rosters should be
    maintained in Whimsy going forward.  A formal announcement should happen
    by ApacheCon.

Edgent

Apache Edgent is a programming model 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. Checking of all items in the project's Maturity Model 
     (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDGENT/Apache+Maturity+Model+For+Edgent)
  3. Although not required to graduate, it might be good to attract at 
     least another independent committer/ppmc member.

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?

  * Three speakers will present their experience with Edgent at the 
    ApacheCon North America in May 2017:

    * Video Analytics at the Edge: Fun with Apache Edgent, OpenCV and a 
      Raspberry Pi - Dale LaBossiere and William Marshall, ppmc members and 
      committers for Edgent.

    * Having fun with Raspberry(s) and Apache Projects - Jean-Frederic Clere.

  * Since the last report, 2 individuals have subscribed to the Apache 
    Edgent dev mailing list.  There were 65 subscribers as of the end of 
    April 2017.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  * Release 1.1.0 of Edgent as part of the Apache incubator was created on 
    17 March 2017. This represented 26 bug fixes and improvements, 
    including more usage examples, application autoSubmit capability to 
    IotProvider, support for publishing WIoTP device events using HTTP, 
    and many others.
  * According to JIRA, 33 new issues were added to the project and 81 
    issues have been resolved or closed between February 2017 and April 2017.

Fluo

Fluo is a distributed system for incrementally processing large data sets
stored in Accumulo.

Fluo has been incubating since 2016-05-17.

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

  1. Make an additional release of Fluo and Fluo Recipes.
  2. Vote in a new committer.
  3.

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?

  A non-committer has made multiple code contributions to the project recently.
  We are discussing a release soon.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  A few exciting new features were added that will be in the next release :

   * Writing Fluo applications is now easier.  Users only need to configure
     a single observer provider class, instead of configuring each observer 
     class separately.  This change makes it possible to use Java 8 Lambdas!
   * The scalability of Fluo was greatly improved by changing how it scans for
      notifications.  The work to find notifications was decreased from O(N^2)
      to O(N) where N is the number of nodes.
   * Multiple internal performance improvements were made.

     Comments: Fluo is comprised of ASF "veterans" -- they operate themselves well. That "learn the Apache way"
               part of incubation was there from day #1 because they already "got it". However, they continue
               to struggle to attract new talent (it is niche software). There have been some publicity efforts from the devs, but
               growing the podling beyond themselves has not yet happened nor is on the horizon, IMO.

--------------------
Guacamole

Guacamole is an enterprise-grade, protocol-agnostic, remote desktop gateway.
Combined with cloud hosting, Guacamole provides an excellent alternative to
traditional desktops. Guacamole aims to make cloud-hosted desktop access
preferable to traditional, local access.

Guacamole has been incubating since 2016-02-10.

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

  1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-120
  2. Call community graduation VOTE
  3.

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 activity on the mailing lists is strong and increasing, with the
  user@ list currently receiving an average of 164 posts per month. Overall:

       May 2017 (5) | 2017-02 .. 2017-04 | 164

How has the project developed since the last report?

  The project has fallen into a nice rhythm with respect to releases and has
  gone through two additional releases since last report: 0.9.11-incubating
  and 0.9.12-incubating.

  The project website has been updated with documentation covering release
  procedures, the acceptance of new committers, and handling of code review
  via pull requests. Links to relevant ASF resources for PPMC members and
  committers have also been added.

  The development community continues to be engaged on the mailing lists, and
  a new committer, Nick Couchman, has been brought onto the project as of
  2017-02-09.

  Recent discussion on the mailing lists regarding graduation readiness has
  been positive. The podling status page for Guacamole has been brought
  up to date, and the suitable name search issue has been created:

  Two new contributors have announced plans to take on large
  development efforts (JSON support and ppc64le support).

How has the project developed since the last report?

  Two of the "three most important issues to address in the move
  towards graduation" from our last report in February have been
  completed: The bug tracker was transitioned to issues.apache.org,
  and the documentation now describes Apache Impala specifically, not
  any non-Apache extensions. The documentation has also been posted to
  http://impala.incubator.apache.org/docs/build/html/index.html and
  http://impala.incubator.apache.org/docs/build/impala.pdf.

  Many commits have landed since our last report towards increasing
  the performance of metadata.

Apache MXNet

MXNet is an open-source deep learning framework that allows you to define,
train, and deploy deep neural networks on a wide array of devices, from
cloud infrastructure to mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for
fast model training, and supports a flexible programming model and multiple
languages. MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming
flavors to maximize both efficiency and productivity. MXNet is built on a
dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The MXNet library
is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and multiple
machines.

*   A list of the three most important issues to address in the move
towards graduation.

1.  Migrate code(GitHub) and website to Apache.     
2.  Grow the community:
2.1 Improving documentation including APIs & Tutorials.
2.2 Improving user-experience, for example improved error messages.
3   Establish a dependable, Apache-way consistent release process.
3.1 Features: New operators requested by user community.  
              Accelerate performance on CPUs and GPUs.

*   Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
aware of:

Code and website have taken time to get moving on. The plan is to discuss 
these with Apache Infra at ApacheCon and then get the code migrated in May.

*   How has the community developed since the last report.

1. The community was engaged for contributions to API documentation and
tutorials.
2. Slack channels have been created for the community to contribute
discussions to (though they need to move to the ASF Slack channel that 
was recently created).
3. In the last month, excluding merges, 51 authors have pushed 165 commits
to master and 180 commits to all branches. On master, 502 files have
changed and there have been 26,246 additions and 12,188 deletions. Count of
Closed Issues = 62, Count of New Issues = 146, Count of Merged Pull
Requests = 161, Count of Proposed Pull Requests = 27.

*   How has the project developed since the last report.

On GitHub:

1. The API Documentation has improved.
2. More features (e.g. operators) requested by the user community has been added.
3. Hardware acceleration like cuDDN6 integration and MKL ML package
integration was completed.
4. A new Perl language binding for MXNet was added.
5. Apache MxNet talk at Apache BigData North America on May 18, 2017 

*   How does the podling rate their own maturity.

Maturity = Low. Initial setup and adjusting community to Apache-style interactions.

Date of last release:

               the project and build a community.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:

    Drew Farris (shepherd): No apparent commit activity since December and very 
       little other activity on the mailing list. One mentor active.

SystemML

SystemML provides declarative large-scale machine learning (ML) that aims at
flexible specification of ML algorithms and automatic generation of hybrid
runtime plans ranging from single node, in-memory computations, to distributed
computations such as Apache Hadoop MapReduce and Apache Spark.

SystemML has been incubating since 2015-11-02.

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

  1. Grow SystemML community: increase mailing list activity,
   increase adoption of SystemML for scalable machine learning, encourage data
   scientists to adopt DML algorithm scripts, respond to user feedback to
   ensure SystemML meets the requirements of real-world situations, and present
   talks about SystemML.
  2. Continue to produce releases.
  3. Increase the diversity of our project's contributors and committers.

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?
 Our mailing list from February through April had 350 messages on a variety
 of topics. We gained 1 new contributor to the project since February 1. On
 GitHub, the project has been starred 487 times and forked 184 times.

How has the project developed since the last report?
 The main project has had 334 commits since February 1. 112 pull requests have
 been created since February 1, and 103 pull requests have been closed. Since
 February 1, 348 issues have been reported on our JIRA site and 249 of these
 have been resolved.

Unomi

Unomi is a reference implementation of the OASIS Context Server specification
currently being worked on by the OASIS Context Server Technical Committee. 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. New releases with extended tests and updates of used/included projects
     (Karaf, Cellar, ...)
  2. Grow up both dev and user communities. Encourage new people on the
     projects, increasing mix of features and bug fixes.

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 expect traction around the coming release and new updated on the
  website (factual use cases).
  
  Some Unomi committers will be present during ApacheCon. We plan some
  informal discussion about Unomi and next major steps.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  After the 1.1.0-incubating release, we are now preparing 1.2.0-incubating
  release. 

  We improved the tests coverage, including performance benchmark (tests
  have been performed with 5M of profiles, and 35M events for instance).

  We also plan to move 1.x series on a dedicated branch and update master to
  2.x, including major third parties updates.

Weex

Weex is a framework for building Mobile cross-platform high performance UI.

Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.

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

  1. Move the whole workflow and infra into Apache (not the codebase only).
  2. Develop more contributors and committers.
  3. First Release while in Incubator.

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

  We are worried that only 1 mentor is actively helping us, as this will put
  more burden on the rest of the Incubator to approve our releases.
  Especially, most of active committers are not good at dealing with
  license-related problem.

How has the community developed since the last report?

  * We voted in 3 new committer:TianYi Ma, Tancy and HaiBo Song.
  * There are 90+ new forks and 700+ new stars since last report.
  * We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev
     mail list. Up to now, 30 issues are reported on JIRA and 25 of them
      are resovled. 
  * We have redirect github's mails to the commits mail list to have a 
      clear overview of our activity  in the dev mail list. 

How has the project developed since the last report?

  * We are trying to release 0.12 this month. Both two RCs were failed due
    to the license issue. This is major issue of project.

     Comments: Technical development and sheer momentum is still very high,
     and no concerns in that area. The move of GitHUb notifications to
     commits@ makes dev@ a more pleasant space. But I still have concerns that
     a lot of discussions of what to do happens in office or other channels.
