Hi All, The following is the proposed podling report for the months of November, December, and January. As this needs to be submitted by EOD today, please respond with comments asap.
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. Create a second release of Apache Edgent with additional features and fixes. 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? * A well attended meetup in San Francisco, CA about Apache Edgent was held on January 18th. It covered introductory concepts of datastreaming, the positioning of Edgent in the datastreaming universe, and examples and use cases of Edgent. The meetup was attended by roughly 40 developers. "Apache Edgent: Datastreaming and Analytics for IoT Devices " https://www.meetup.com/SF-Data-Science/events/236682354/ * There has been at least one question both asked and answered on Stackoverflow by a non-committer non-PPMC member of the community. ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41280097/joining-streams-of-different-types-in-apache-edgent ) * Since the last report, at least 5 individuals have subscribed to the Apache Edgent dev mailing list. How has the project developed since the last report? * The first release of Edgent as part of the Apache incubator was created on 2016-12-15. This represents a large amount of work, including numerous improvements to connectors, the console, and a complete overhaul of the build system to use Gradle. *According to JIRA, the project has added the following: * November 2016: 6 new issues; 18 issues resolved. * December: 18 new issues; 29 issues resolved. * January: 15 new issues; 12 issues resolved Date of last release: * The most recent release of Apache Edgent was 2016-12-15. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? * In May 2016, we added two new committers and PPMC members, Kathy Saunders and Queenie Ma.
