  [ ](amaterasu) Davor Bonaciare presently 53 podlings incubating. During the month of March,
podlings executed 10 distinct releases. We added two new IPMC members
and no IPMC members retired.

We have three new podlings this month, Apache DataSketches and Apache 
Tuweni and Apache TVM. No projects graduated last month but several
podlings are heading towards graduation in the next few months.

All three of the podlings that failed to report last month submitted a 
report this month.

Two podlings have not submitted reports and will be asked to report next
month. They are:
- Milagro
- MXNet

Spot failed to get sign off from its single mentor and will be asked
to report next month.

There was no IP clearance(s).

ECharts still has several issues that are outstanding (including the 
echarts baidu website) and it's probably time to discuss how to 
resolve this on the IPMC list.

Skywalking, on its second attempt, had a number of difficulties in cleaning up
rosters and getting PPMC members onto the private mailing list after
they proposed to graduate. Having a pre-graduation checklist may be useful
to make this process easier.
 
A shiny new Podling clutch page (and a new process behind it) have been updated 
and changed to improve tracking of podlings progress.

The incubator is providing a new service to podlings to provide feedback on
releases. Podlings can bring up a discuss thread asking for feedback on a 
release candidate rather than asking for it in a vote thread.

The release management documentation was updated to make it clear what to 
do about non-ASF releases and encourage podings to bring those in line with 
ASF release and distribution policy over time.

Having a smaller IPMC was discussed, it was suggested that anyone not
signed up to the private list to be removed from the IPMC. This was looked into
and people who make infrequent contributors are still helpful and make
useful contributions. What seems less helpful in some cases is "drive-by"
comments and the involvement of uninformed people on this list.

Mentors are being actively encouraged to vote on their podling releases, so 
that the VOTEs show up on the general@ list with 3 +1 IPMC votes.

Incubator wiki is being deprecated, we've tried to migrate via the self help
migration tool but it has failed every time. There is a risk that it will
not be transferred by the deadline. This may have an impact on submitting
the next report to the board.

A large number of incubator pages have been updated to be simpler and
remove policy content that is explained elsewhere at the ASF. More is still
needed to be done here and it's an ongoing process.

An incubator cookbook has been created, which single page of explanations
and links that cover all phases of incubation and should become the
central point for all questions related to incubation. 

There are other ongoing conversations about further changes to the IPMC and
how it operates. A couple of these conversations happened on the incubator
private list (and other lists) when they should probably be on the general
list so that all interested people can read and contribute.

Amaterasu

Apache Amaterasu is a framework providing configuration management and 
deployment for Big Data Pipelines.

It provides the following capabilities:

Continuous integration tools to package pipelines and run tests.
A repository to store those packaged applications: the applications 
repository.
A repository to store the pipelines, and engine configuration (for 
instance, the location of the Spark master, etc.): per environment - the 
configuration repository.
A dashboard to monitor the pipelines.
A DSL and integration hooks allowing third parties to easily integrate.

Amaterasu has been incubating since 2017-09-07.

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

  1. Grow up user and contributor communities
  2. Prepare documentation

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

  There is still concern regarding the progress of the project. The 
  community tries to address this by making the project more accessible. The 
  first major step is releasing the documentation and simplifying the install 
  process. In addition, we are working closely with some of the newer 
  contributors to mentor them and help them be more productive.

How has the community developed since the last report?

  Since the last report, we have been focusing on the next release with 
  strong focus building the documentation which we hope will help with 
  adoption. We are still working with a couple of organizations on their use 
  case, hopefully, those could become a public use cases soon.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  * 11 pull requests by 4 contributors have been opened since the last 
  report. Out of those 2 have been closed, 1 is awaiting fixes and the rest 
  have been merged.
  * Documentation has been progressing and is due for the upcoming release.

Date of the last release:

  12 July 2018

Annotator

Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and 
humans.

Annotator has been incubating since 2016-08-30.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Release initial versions
 2. Add more active contributors
 3. Community growth in general

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

  Community growth for our project has been much slower than expected. We 
  are aiming
  to ship a release and add at least one committer prior to the next board 
  report. We will
  also be discussing the project's scope and future and trying one last 
  time to (re)build the
  interest and community we'd had during the W3C's Web Annotation Working 
  Group days
  (and the time prior when Annotator.js and Open Annotation were in full 
  swing).

How has the community developed since the last report?

  The immediate Apache Annotator community has remained quiet,
  but interest in Web Annotations (and surrounding technology/specs)
  has increased. We hope to tap into some of that new activity in this
  second quarter of 2019. Additionally, we hope to do further community
  outreach in person at the upcoming I Annotate event in May:
  http://iannotate.org/

How has the project developed since the last report?

  Code and community show minimal (if any) progress. The projects focus
  may be too narrow or the audience for our current DOM libraries may be
  too small to achieve frequent activity at this point. We did begin an 
  effort
  to expand the scope of the project slightly to include server-side code
  and Web Annotation Data Model testing, but interest so far has remained
  minimal.

When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

  Last committer was added in August. That same committer is now on the 
  PMC as of November.

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive or are things falling
through the cracks? In the latter case, please list any open issues
that need to be addressed.

  We did welcome our two new mentors, but have not had follow-up
  conversations as a community to (re)focus the group since then. We
  hope to change that in the coming weeks as we look toward promoting
  the project again at the upcoming I Annotate 2019 conference.

Hudi

Hudi provides atomic upserts and incremental data streams on Big Data

Hudi has been incubating since 2019-01-17.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Make frequent releases as per Apache guidelines
  2. Grow community
  3. Complete SGA, transfer code to ASF infra

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

  * PODLINGNAMESEARCH-162 has been completed, but is not reflected on Whimsy
  * SGA process has been delayed due to inability to quickly interact with 
  ASF legal counsel. Help expediting this communication would help a lot to 
  get the SGA done by Uber.

How has the community developed since the last report?

  - Project source code/docs/issue management all now hosted on apache 
  infrastructure
  - HIP, a process for proposing large changes to the project has been 
  formalized by the community
  - 30+ new threads on dev ML, with ~10 non-PPMC contributors

How has the project developed since the last report?

  1. Code has been moved over to apache/incubator-hudi
  2. hudi.apache.org site has been restructured and simplified for 
  community consumption
  3. Hudi Improvement Plan (based off Apache Kafka KIP) ratified and 
  formalized. Few first HIPs written
  4. Submitted a Hudi talk abstract for Kafka Summit 2019
  5. ~20 PRs merged

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.

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

  None

How has the community developed since the last report?
  The user email list has kept a consistent flow of discussion around the project.

How has the project developed since the last report?
  Version 0.6 was released

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
  Mailing lists and project development follow the Apache way.
  The user community is active but lately the rate of change in the project 
  code is lower. 
  This may not be a cause for concern since it might indicate relative 
  maturity in achieving the desired functionality of the project.

How has the community developed since the last report?



How has the project developed since the last report?
been pretty successful. One new name has showed up on the list
  demonstrating willingness to help with the website and documentation.

  Now in total 3 people have demonstrated the ability to perform releases.
  We are currently tying up some loose ends and preparing everything to
  start the graduation vote in the next few weeks. All of this has been
  consuming quite some time.

  We have had a meetup in Nürtingen on 15th of February which a great part
  of the active PPMC and committers attended. Beyond that on 21th of 
  February
  Christofer had a talk on PLC4X at EURegJug in Aachen, on 8th of March in
  Solingen.

  Numbers:
  - Releases:
    - 0.3.0 RC2: 05.02.2019 (RM: Julian Feinauer)
    - 0.3.1 RC1: 13.03.2019 (RM: Julian Feinauer, but Tim Mitsch actually 
    did it)
  - Mailing-list Subscriptions: 43 (up by 1)
  - Twitter followers: 132 (up by 18)
  - GitHub stars: 52 (up by 10)

How has the project developed since the last report?

  Christofer is working hard on implementing a first POC for a tooling to
  generate drivers from DFDL and SCXML specifications, which will greatly
  simplify driver implementation as well as make it possible to generate
  drivers for multiple target languages, such as C++.

  No new POCs have been performed this period however another company has
  shifted to using PLC4X as main integration platform in their analytics
  software. Also a consortium of 3 companies and the ISW from Stuttgart
  University received a positive response to a project proposal that was
  supported for the funding program "KMU Innovativ" at BMBF German ministry
  of education and research. PLC4X will play an important role in the 
  project for communication with industrial controllers and will be
  integrated by the industrial partner pragmatic minds GmbH which is
  represented in the (P)PMC by Julian Feinauer.

through the cracks? In the latter case, please list any open issues
that need to be addressed.

  They have been very helpful. Especially regarding questions about
  graduating, Justin has been particularly helpful in pointing out
  some missing things.

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Mailing lists and project development follow the Apache way.
The user community is active but lately the rate of change in the project code is lower. 
This may not be a cause for concern since it might indicate relative maturity in 
achieving the desired functionality of the project.

SensSoft

Apache SensSoft is a generalized user behavioral logging platform for web 
pages and thin-client applications

Apache SensSoft has been incubating since 2016-07-13.

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

  1. Grow the Apache SensSoft (Incubating) Committer/Community Base.
  2. Complete our Podling name change
  3. Complete the issues highlighted at the SensSoft Roadmap [1]

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

  * We have completed our PODLINGNAMESEARCH workflow and our new name Apache 
  Flagon has been approved by VP of marketing [2]. 

  * We have posted tickets to change the name of our core assets (JIRA, 
  Website, GitBox Repos) [3], to coincide with changing website text, other 
  content-based references to Apache SensSoft.

  * We are preparing for additional releases, immediately following our full 
  transition to the Apache Flagon Namesake (UserALE.js v. 2.0.0, 2.1.0; poss. 
  Flagon 1.0.0). 

How has the community developed since the last report?

  * The community has been:
  - discussing reaching out to other open source projects to identify other 
  potential communities (analytical technologies) to drive developments, as 
  well as increase interest in the Podling.
  - discussing research applications with university research labs in 
  machine learning and social computing.
  - discussing adoption of the technology with interested entities and 
  identifying/eliminating barriers to adoption. 
  - updating documentation on wiki and READMEs to improve community growth

How has the project developed since the last report?

  * Project maturity roadmaps (Wiki) and version release plans (JIRA) 
  continue to be maintained.
  * JIRA boards continue to be maintained
  * Core products have been maintained for modernization and for security 
  posture.
  * New features have been added to enhance adoption and make Apache SensSoft 
  competitive with open-source business analytics services (e.g., OWA).

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

  * Despite challenges posed by dispersion of the original committers, the 
  project is finding its footing again and continues to be desirable for 
  consumption and relevant amidst alternatives. The impending name change is 
  an opportunity for rebranding and acceleration of community growth.

Spot

Apache Spot is a platform for network telemetry built on an open data model
and Apache Hadoop.

Spot has been incubating since 2016-09-23.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Revive community activity (Discussion in mailing lists, increase 
  frequency of commits)
  2. Make it easier for Devs to contribute to the project (e.g. 
  documentation, framework).
  3. Developing a workflow in Spot that allows for intuitive analytics.

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?

  Unfortunately there has not been much more community activity. However, we 
  are need of more committers as there are only a couple of active committers 
  at this time. This creates a bottleneck which makes it hard for the 
  community to grow in interest.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  A few members have been looking into merging one of the major branches that 
  the community has been waiting on into master. This should avoid a lot of 
  confusion among new community members in the future.

How has the project developed since the last report?


has been set up recently, so there is an initial 
  activation/development towards a community.
  - The dev mailing list is active. Total number of posts in March were 160 
  (+48 from March). Total number of
  subscribers is 28 (+3 from last month).

How has the project developed since the last report?

  - This is our first report covering a full month
  - We have decided on a Website technology and we have had our first few 
  commits (LICENSE, README etc.)
  - The scope of the project deliverables, core procedures, details regarding 
  website, and code management are still under discussion 
  - First offers of content donations have been made
  - We welcomed our first regular contributor to the mailing list from 
  outside of the original list of contributors
  - There are plans to talk about the project at both ApacheCons this year

  There are lots of parallel discussions happening. We have made some initial 
  decisions (e.g. website) but there are lots of topics still left to be 
  discussed. The major one is on whether or not to chose a canonical 
  technology into which we want to convert our training material and the 
  organization thereof (e.g. multilingual content and acceptance of material 
  in different formats e.g. PowerPoint, Google Slides).

  The project is a bit different from most others which come with existing 
  code bases, existing communities. We have to start from "first principles" 
  so it's not unexpected that this takes a while.

focused deep learning frameworks, and the performance- or 
efficiency-oriented
hardware backends.

TVM has been incubating since 2019-03-06.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Finish the IP clearance
  2. Make the first Apache release
  3. Continue to grow the community

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?

  - TVM PMC has been fully transitioned to private@
  - The development conversations are mirrored to dev@
  - TVM community has welcomed two new committers in the past month

  See more in https://github.com/dmlc/tvm/search?q=COMMUNITY&type=Issues

  NOTE: due to the transition, the vote of the new committers were done in
  the pre-apache PMC private list with our mentors as observers. 
  We are doing procedural votes to bring these committers formally to 
  Apache soon. 

How has the project developed since the last report?

  In the past month, 47 contributors have pushed 138 commits. 
  On master, 480 files have changed and there have been 
  18,529 additions and 4,290 deletions.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  Dev has stalled as we try to engage committers. This code
  was donated to the ASF as it was a 3rd Party Infra tool.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:
  Dave Fisher: This podling is around a system for monitoring services that 
    the Infrastructure team is looking into.
    It is really going very slowly. The proof will be in whether interest 
    develops beyond the Infra team.
    It may be worth discussing in the IPMC the best way to handle these 
    kinds of bespoke projects.
    Is Warble (and maybe Pony Mail) more a Lab project?

Weex

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

Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Third party plugins like weex-toolkit is not part of Apache Weex, and 
  they may violate the trademark / copyright of ASF
  2. The release procedure for Weex is not documented clearly.
  3. More active committers and PPMC members should be invited into the 
  community.

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?

  1. There are two new committers for Weex, e.g. He Ling and Darin726.
  2. We have a new mentor : Jan Piotrowski
  3. The mailing list for weex community is getting better, as we have 28 
  mailing threads in dev@weex.apache.org

How has the project developed since the last report?

  1. We launched new website for Weex.
  2. We merged and closed 144 Github PRs
  3. We had 212 Github issues created and 145 of them are solved.

  Yes, I think we have achieved lots of progress with their help in these 
  month.
