I updated the report, and the community needs to have a volunteer to be release manager for release Chukwa 0.6. Grace has fixed a lot of bugs, and agent to collector compression can be a good feature for 0.6 release.
Here is the report for the community to review: ----------- Chukwa Chukwa is an open source data collection system for monitoring large distributed systems. Chukwa is built on top of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), HBase and Map/Reduce framework and inherits Hadoop’s scalability and robustness. Chukwa also includes a flexible and powerful toolkit for displaying, monitoring and analyzing results to make the best use of the collected data. - Mailing lists have some activities. - 2 new committers since July. - 3 new contributors submitted patches since last report in July. Most important issues to address: Growing the community, especially a new release manager Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of: None at this time. How has the community developed since the last report: Plan to release version 0.6 to fix some of the major bugs in version 0.5. How has the project developed since the last report: More patches are received from new committer and contributors. The new patches are better quality to polish Chukwa code base for 0.6 release. Chukwa community need to train new release manager to release Chukwa 0.6 to ensure the community can continue to flourish. The previous concern of inactive development is less concerning than during January to July time frame. On Sat, Sep 29, 2012 at 6:59 AM, Alan D. Cabrera <[email protected]> wrote: > FYI.
