Dear CMDA community: Below please find our community August Report. I have uploaded to the Apache wiki page. As shown in the report, our community has made significant progress from both community development and project development with the great support from Apache Incubator Mentors.
Best regards, Jia === Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer CMDA provides web services for multi-aspect physics-based and phenomenon- oriented climate model performance evaluation and diagnosis through the comprehensive and synergistic use of multiple observational data, reanalysis data, and model outputs. Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer has been incubating since 2015-05-08. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Enlarge the CMDA community; 2. Develop stable platform to allow broad contributors to turn in code; 3. Develop a streamline procedure to allow the entire community to develop the CMDA project 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? In this month, the CMDA community focuses on developing the summer school program, in order to advocate and distribute CMDA 2.0, to educate more students on our latest product, and to attract more people to join our community. So far, we have received about 25 graduate students who show interest and will come to our summer school to learn CMDA 2.0 product and the platform. Meanwhile, with the great guidance from our mentors, the CMDA community has learned to run the project from various aspects in an Apache way. Many community meetings were held to streamline and develop our operation regulations. Here we just name a few strategies. Weekly community meetings are arranged with pre-distributed meeting agenda. Meeting invites are sent to all community members with open access to the weekly meetings. After each community meeting, various contributors/groups summarize their to-do items on the community mailing list, to welcome all community members' input. Community communication always adopts the community mailing list as carrier. More committers join the voting group. More committers are recommended based on their active performance in the community. How has the project developed since the last report? We have successfully encapsulated and deployed CMDA 2.0 onto Amazon cloud environment, leveraging docker technology to ensure scalability. Provenance engine is also deployed onto Amazon cloud to ensure that we gather all provenance during the summer school for further study and development of our project after the summer school.
