Hi Chris,
thanks for the effort.
Even if I'm no commiter / PPMC I'll take the freedom to share my opinion on the
state of the project.
I think we (as we-that-are-on-the-list) have to decide whether we want to
(re-)start the project, building a new PPMC (currently we have effectively one
with chris) and start to do some work in edgent.
Or whether we decide (or formally I guess PPMC and the mentors decide) to move
edgent to the attic.
Personally, I can say that I see some potential in the project (as already
discussed offline with chris) and can also offer some support from me and
possibly some of my colleagues (also active in plc4x).
But, decide the effort for writing code, docu and doing some 'communication'
about the project, it would then be important to have a clear mission statement
and a new PPMC which has some ideas or visions on how or where we want to bring
this project.
Of course, this is solely my opinion and I cannot do more than to offer my help
and effort but all of this only makes sense with a community, otherwise my
colleagues and I can code together in our lovely office : )
Best
Julian

Hi all,
I would probably submit this report asap … if there aren’t any objections.

===============================================
Edgent
Apache Edgent is a programming SDK 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. Re-creating a working community
2. Re-populating the PPMC
3. Replenishing the group of mentors
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
For the past months there has been absolutely no activity in the project
Even if there has been an occasional Email from an external entity in the
last 3 months, the activity in the project has been solely me (Christofer)
writing emails without getting any form of response from the rest of the
committers, PPMCs or mentors
The main problem here is, that when being voted in to the project, I had
been working on the build, but before I was able to start digging in the
code
the rest of the team disappeared without me having had the chance to do a
reasonably significant amount of know-how transfer. Currently we have a
codebase for which we have a detailed understanding of the build, but
almost none of the code itself.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* Total, we have 82 subscribers to our mailing list, an increase of 5
since the last report.
* There have been two questions asked by users and two little
discussions about these issues on the list
* Discussions started on the private list have been left unresponded
* On 19th September 2018 Christofer had a talk about Apache Edgent on
the Solutions.Hamburg TechCamp
How has the project developed since the last report?
* According to JIRA, 0 new issue were added and none were resolved in
the last 90 days
* 0 commits were made in the last 90 days.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
After withdrawal of most of the active committers and PPCM members
currently
a new committer, PPMC and mentor-base has to be built. Being working hard
on
the PLC4X podling, I am currently evaluating if I am going to be willing
and able
to achieve this goal
[ ] Initial setup
[ ] Working towards first release
[X] Community building
[ ] Nearing graduation

When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
In August 2017, we added Christofer Dutz as a new committer
and PPMC member.
