We have a high number of podlings not reporting. They are CC'd in hopes they can report. Incubator PMC report for January 2018 The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. There are currently 53 podlings in the inubator. We added two new podlings in December, and executed four podling releases. Two new PMC members joined, in support of mentoring podlings. * Community New IPMC members: - Stefan Bodewig - Carl Johan Erik Edstrom People who left the IPMC: * New Podlings - PLC4X - SkyWalking * Podlings that failed to report, expected next month - Annotator - Crail - HTrace - Livy - Milagro - Myriad - SDAP - SensSoft - Spot - Wave * Podlings missing sign off - Airflow - ODF Toolkit * Graduations The board has motions for the following: - Your podling here? - Your podling here? * Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of December: - 2017-12-03 Apache MXNet 1.0.0 - 2017-12-13 Apache BatchEE 0.5 - 2017-12-14 Apache Edgent 1.2.0 - 2017-12-17 Apache Pulsar 1.21.0 * IP Clearance * Legal / Trademarks * Infrastructure * Miscellaneous * Credits ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Airflow Amaterasu Annotator BatchEE Crail DataFu FreeMarker Gobblin Gossip HAWQ HTrace Livy Milagro MXNet Myriad NetBeans ODF Toolkit PageSpeed PLC4X Pony Mail Rya SDAP SensSoft ServiceComb SkyWalking Spot Traffic Control Wave Weex ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- Airflow Airflow is a workflow automation and scheduling system that can be used to author and manage data pipelines. Airflow has been incubating since 2016-03-31. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. We have completed 4 apache releases. We are nearing graduation! 2. 3. 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? 1. Since our last podling report 3 months ago (i.e. between Sept 25 & Dec 26, inclusive), we grew our contributors from 315 to 360 2. Since our last podling report 3 months ago (i.e. between Sept 25 & Dec 26, inclusive), we resolved 221 pull requests (currently at 2018 closed PRs) 3. Since being accepted into the incubator, the number of companies officially using Apache Airflow has risen from 30 to 123, 9 new from the last podling report. How has the project developed since the last report? See above : 221 PR resolved, 45 new contributors, & 9 new companies officially using it. How would you assess the podling's maturity?

FreeMarker is implemented in Java as a class library for programmers. FreeMarker has been incubating since 2015-07-01. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: We have a large user base but a rather small group of committers. This was actually expected, given the maturity (and topic) of the project. While the FreeMarker 3 branch, which was started 11 month ago, will be much more appealing for contributors, development and growth due to that will certainly take a long time. In other respects the project is mature and ready for graduation. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? We are eager to graduate but we're afraid that the number of active contributors will prevent that in the foreseeable future. But remaining in the incubator for several years is a growing problem as well, so at this point we will attempt graduation. How has the community developed since the last report? We have two new PPMC members, Jacques Le Roux and Woonsan Ko. How has the project developed since the last report? There was further discussion about graduation, and we will very soon have a graduation vote on the podling list. We have done some preparations, like we have switched from freemarker.org to freemarker.apache.org as our official domain, created the DOAP file, adjusted home page content to align better with the recommendations. We have also made a new release (2.3.27-incubating). How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary.

IPMC/Shepherd notes: -------------------- Gobblin Gobblin is a distributed data integration framework that simplifies common aspects of big data integration such as data ingestion, replication, organization and lifecycle management for both streaming and batch data ecosystems. Gobblin has been incubating since 2017-02-23. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Make frequent releases 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? * Gobblin has seen an exciting growth on the community front. It has grown into a diverse self-sustained community, where non-committer members are often seen helping out each other on mailing lists and Gitter IRC (on most days more than the committers). Many contributors have also stepped up and contributed with important features and taken up ownership of critical components. * 70% of commits have been from non-committer contributors. * Email stats since last report: u...@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 92 d...@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 671 * Heavy activity on Gitter IRC channel (while the community uses Gitter IRC, it also does self policing and consciously moves any discussion-thread beyond casual chatter to the mailing lists) * There have been 148 Commits since last report: git log --format='%ci' | grep -cE '(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))' * 103 ie. 70% of those commits were by non-committers: git log --format='%ae %ci' | grep -E '(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))' | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n * Recurring video conference based meetup has been happening every month with healthy attendance. * Gobblin was presented and well received in various conferences eg. Strata etc. * More companies have adopted Gobblin, and different members of PPMC have received positive feedback and interest. How has the project developed since the last report? * Several new powerful features have been added to Gobblin that have enhanced Gobblin to be more valuable in Stream processing as it is in batch data world. * Gobblin interestingly has started to evolve into an ecosystem rather than a singular platform with addition of major sub-systems such as Gobblin-as-a-Service (PaaS for Gobblin as well as non-Gobblin systems), Global Throttling (can be used with any distributed system) and existing Gobblin metrics. * Documentation and stability has improved across the board. * Release v0.12.0 is being voted on right now. * The Apache way has become the normal way of doing things. How would you assess the podling's maturity? Gobblin has made good progress on the Community front and overall as a project. However, before calling it nearing graduation, we will like to make atleast couple of releases.

It is highly scalable, allowing for fast model training, and supports a flexible programming model and multiple languages. Apache MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming flavors to maximize both efficiency and productivity. Apache MXNet is built on a dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The Apache MXNet library is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and multiple machines. Apache MXNet has been incubating since 2017-01-23. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Establish a predictable release process consistent with Apache Way -- ONGOING. 2. Grow the community -- ONGOING. 3. Bring website up to Apache standard -- ONGOING 4. Identify remaining ICLAs or SGAs that need signing -- ONGOING Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?

The contributors have been working on having all discussions on the public dev@ mailing list as much as possible.

Documentation- Architecture guides, How To's, Tutorials, and APIs continue to be improved. d. Support for Perl language bindings - contributed by Sergey Kolychev. e. More advanced features (e.g. sparse tensor, advanced indexing, gradient compression) and bug-fixes requested by the user community continue to be added. f. Community took complete end-to-end ownership of the continuous integration process in order to enable reliable testing on a wide set of back ends (IoT devices to GPU clusters). How would you assess the podling's maturity? Podling is still being established in Apache - hence maturity == Low. Please feel free to add your own commentary.

PLC4X has been incubating since 2017-12-18. Most important issues to address while moving towards graduation: * Building the community: The PPMC and committer group has a large percentage of codecentric employees, we have been recruiting people from other companies, but will have to continue these efforts for establishing a healthy Apache community. * Onboarding of new committers: With PLC4X several people on the team are not very familiar with the Apache Way. We have started and will continue our efforts on this onboarding. * Podling name search: We have invested a lot of time on the name search prior to starting to work on the project, but we still need the official OK that we're allowed to keep the Name of Apache PLC4X. * Make our first release Any Issues the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of: * In order to get access to some of the specifications the ASF will eventually have to become Members of some external foundations: OPC, EtherCat, Modbus ... these memberships usually have a free level, that allows us to use the specifications but doesn't result in any regular costs. We will have to discuss these details with the ASF and the other foundations. * One of the external foundations (Profinet) doesn't have a free membership. In general, the CEO of the European branch of the Profinet Foundation has signaled that it should be possible for the ASF to become a member and have an outside company pay the membership fees, but we have to discuss the details (With them as well as the ASF). How has the community developed since the last report? * We have been accepted into the Apache Incubator just a week before Christmas, we are still in the process of setting up * Prior to joining the Apache Incubator however, we have managed to recruit people from other Apache projects and are working on getting other people familiar with the protocols and the industry involved. After the Christmas break we are planning on contacting a big group of people that have claimed to be wanting to be involved (A list of about 20 Companies, but we can't tell how many will be using and how many would also be willing to contribute) * We have started the onboarding of new committers and will be continuing to do this (extended emails with a lot of explanations on why we are doing things the way we are) * Project has bootstrapped quickly and we have mailing lists, website, JIRA etc. all set up and running. * Testing coverage has been improved over the initial code base How has the project developed since the last report? * There was no last report. How does the podling rate their own maturity? * We have a mix of new participants and experienced Apache people involved. * So far, the new participants have shown great willingness and success in adopting the Apache Way. * However, we still need to continue: * the on-boarding * increasing the diversity of the team * Also, will we need to decide and establish all the processes involved in releasing software at Apache Date of last release: N/A When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

IPMC/Shepherd notes: -------------------- Rya Rya (pronounced "ree-uh" /re?/) is a cloud-based RDF triple store that supports SPARQL queries. Rya is a scalable RDF data management system built on top of Accumulo. Rya uses novel storage methods, indexing schemes, and query processing techniques that scale to billions of triples across multiple nodes. Rya provides fast and easy access to the data through SPARQL, a conventional query mechanism for RDF data. Rya has been incubating since 2015-09-18. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Have more releases as part of the Apache Foundation 2. Increase diversity of contributors.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. Some branding issues around publicity of incubation were raised and have been corrected. How has the community developed since the last report? 1. First Incubator report. 2. Git repositories and mailing lists in place. 3. Website ready and in transition to ASF infra. 4. Apache ICLA signed by all contributors from Huawei. How has the project developed since the last report? Still in initial setup stage. How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Traffic Control has been incubating since 2016-07-12. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Enhance automation to make it easier to build, install, and configure each component. 2. Improve documentation to ease ramp-up time for new community members and make it easier for existing community members to find what they are looking for. 3. Complete at least two releases without license 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 (October 2017)? We held a fall summit in October in Atlanta. This summit was attended by over 20 participants from 5 different companies. The discussions were great and we made sure to take any discussion that could potentially affect the community to the mailing lists. We cleaned up our mentors a bit by removing a few mentors who have asked to be removed and/or have not contributed at all. We have seen a few new users join our community, and our community has done a good job of helping the new users get Traffic Control up and running. The community has been working hard to get a new release out, which will be Traffic Control 2.1. How has the project developed since the last report? Since the last report (October 2017), we have * Merged 218 Pull Requests with 392 commits from 34 contributors * Opened 135 Github issues * Closed 70 Github issues * 233 emails sent by 36 people on the dev@ list * 25 emails sent by 12 people on the users@ list How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary. We have started discussions about graduation and we all agree that we should try to focus on graduating in 2018. As we see it, the biggest hurdles we still face are: 1) Getting releases through the incubator without licensing issues - we would like to be able to get at least two releases through without licensing issues. 2) Removing dependencies with incompatible licenses; specifically JSON.org and jdnssec ( https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_dblacka_jdnssec-2Dtools_blob_master_licenses_java-2Ddnssec-2Dtools-2DLICENSE.txt&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=QDRZTLGT3gAoEKeSHWRWAtx_e0UYESF19P5N8Tsbuao&e=) - our plan is to have these two mitigated by the end of Q1 2018.

Ament Comments: IPMC/Shepherd notes: -------------------- Weex Weex is a framework for building Mobile cross-platform high performance UI. Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Develop more non-Chinese contributors and committers, to bring diversity to the community. 2. Replace Facebook's Yoga(Category X) dependency and release more while in Incubator. 3. Improve the developer's activity in mailing list, more "bad ideas". Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? The community is still learning the Apache Way, we are making progress and need more guidance from Mentors. An additional active Mentor would be good. How has the community developed since the last report? * We voted one new committer: wentao shi * We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev mailing list. There is an obvious growth. 186(110 new issues since the last report) issues have been reported on JIRA, and 93(56 since the last report) of them are resolved or closed. And for dev@ mailing list, more discussions were made in the past quarter. Some of the discussions are about important decisions such as Community building roadmaps, whether to use Github issues, how to develop plugins conveniently, how to replace Facebook/Yoga, whether to create a project channel, etc. More and more non-alibaba and non-Chinese guys were participating in the discussions. * More non-alibaba developers are using Weex and reporting issues, including developers from Tencent, Geekbang, SNDA, etc. * Our Github repo has growth in contributors (135), forks (974), watchers (377) and stars (7108) * WebSite Trends Month Active, PV(440482), UV(68347), IP(59082), New Unique Visitor(36063) , Session(114824) How has the project developed since the last report? * We have seperated the code for ducumentation & website from main repo to weex-incubator-site, which will be easier to contribute. * 9 authors have pushed 36 commits to master and 36 commits to all branches. The community are intentionally making the committing work more slow and deliberate. * Replacing Facebook's Yoga is nearly done. How would you assess the podling's maturity?
