Hi, All I have following report for May 4th deadline. Please let me know if we have anything else to report. Or remove anything from following:
================================================= Mnemonic is a Java based non-volatile memory library for in-place structured data processing and computing. Mnemonic has been incubating since 2016-03-03. Mnemonic code was moved into ASF on 3/24 Various metrics for April are as follows: +--------------------------------------------+ | Metric | counts | +--------------------------------------------+ | Non Merge Commits | 16 | | Contributors | 4 | | Jira New Issues | 20 | | Resolved Issues | 24 | | Pull Requests merged | 6 | | Pull Requests proposed | 7 | +--------------------------------------------+ Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Apache releases: we are preparing 0.1.0 release 2. Expand and build strong community, keep active dev list discussions, adding new contributors a. Mnemonic website is up: http://mnemonic.incubator.apache.org/ b. Mnemonic cwiki is up: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MNEMONIC/Apache+Mnemonic+Home 3. Develop new features: We are working in Native computing layer design. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Everything is on track, nothing urgent at this time. How has the community developed since the last report? We completed setting up infrastructure. Both project website and cwiki are up running. We are working on adding contents and documentation to the sites so new contributors and community members can get better view of what this project is and how to get involved. We realized, unlike other application level projects, library (or API) projects traditionally had less contributors until certain amount of adopters successfully integrated those libraries. We plan to help some integrations, such as HBase, Arrow, etc. after our first official code release. We submitted 2 proposals for Strata Hadoop World NYC. We will present Mnemonic project in upcoming ApacheCon Big Data conference on 5/11. How has the project developed since the last report? We are designing the native computing infrastructure, built native computing interface code. In preparing first official release: 1. Defined coding guidelines for the project. Reformatted all code based on defined coding style. 2. Added the checkstyle to automate the checking process. 3. Formalized the names of annotations, classes and methods. 4. Removed the dependency of property mnemonic.core.version. 5. Added a new profile for artifacts releasing and signing. 6. Added release plugin and configuration for releasing. Date of last release: No release yet, working on 0.1.0 release When were the last committers or PMC members elected? No election, since the project is just starting.
