Here is the revised and slightly formatted version including the feedbacks
received... (thanks a lot Niall and others)
Thanks,
------------
Geode has been incubating since 2015-04-27.
*Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:*
1. Expanding the community to include contributors and committers
outside of Pivotal
2. Execute and manage the project according to governance model
required by the "Apache Way"
3. Have our first Apache (incubating) release (currently blocked on us
solving JGroups licensing issues)
*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?*
The project had around 350 messages and around a 100 different people
joined the discussions on the mailing lists, covering all sorts of
topics, from development model to new features.
ICLAs for initial committers are filled and processed.
The wiki has been kept up to date based on mailing list discussions,
with processes for:
- Code Review and submissions
- Branching and versioning
- Code of Conduct
- Social Media guidelines and accounts
- Twitter account (https://twitter.com/apachegeode)
- Slideshare account (http://www.slideshare.net/ApacheGeode)
- Gravatar/Wordpress (https://en.gravatar.com/apachegeode)
There are 46 open issues on JIRA, 5 resolved.
Several external pull requests. Review process is in place and has
been done using ASF ReviewBoard.

*How has the project developed since the last report?*
- Initial SGA from Pivotal has been received and processed including the
initial code drop.
-
Source code packages will also be renamed from com.gemstone to
org.apache.geode in order to allow an easier path to become a TLP.
- Pivotal is going to deliver the *final code drop by end of June*
adding important features to the project such as:
- Off Heap support
- HDFS Integration
- Command line utilities
- JVSD - Statistic visualization tool
-
The main command line interface will be renamed from GFSH (GemFire
Shell) to GEODE, as per community voting.
- The project decided (mailing lists) to follow the RTC
(Review-Then-Commit) policy initially and re-evaluate after some iterations.
- Jenkins nightly builds are setup
- DockerHub account with a nightly build -(
https://registry.hub.docker.com/repos/apachegeode/)
- ASF Infrastructure setup:
- Wiki
- JIRA
- Jenkins
- GitHub integration
*Date of last release:*
N/A - Just nightly builds.
*When were the last committers or PMC members elected?*
As part of the initial incubation process - 2015-04-27
