Hi,
I believe the main focus at this point should be community building.
There is a code base now and a release should follow soon. However,
community and adoption tasks are lagging.
I didn't realize for instance that Barbara Malta Gomes is not a
committer, yet according to github [1] she is the #1 contributor. She
has an icla on file, I would recommend inviting her as a committer
(start a vote, etc) and mentioning that in the report.
From what I notice, the IoT field is quite fragmented now and
everybody, especially the big players, are trying to establish
themselves as the de-facto platform. For this project to stay on the
map, a lot of effort will be required to reach out to other players and
increase adoption and number of contributors.
My $0.02,
Hadrian

iota
Open source system that enables the orchestration of IoT devices.
iota has been incubating since 2016-01-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Building the developer community
2. Outreach at events outside the Apache ecosystem to inform and invite
participation in the project
3. Better leadership of the project itself
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Committers are still very interested in seeing this podling develop.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Slowly - mainly 4 individuals that are contributing in spurts of activity. This
needs to become consistent with better online leadership.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Technical contributions have been made and will continue to be made but there
is a need engage and articulate the vision and architecture more actively on
the mailing lists.
Date of last release:
Not released yet - had discussed an initial release at the end of this year
but will need to see a stronger ecosystem develop to facilitate such a goal.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
10 months ago
