Hi Mentors,

Here’s the first draft of Mynewt’s board report for Jan.
Please review it asap. The two week cutoff for posting the report for 
general review before the board meeting on Jan 18 was *yesterday*!

thanks,
aditi


----------------------------
Mynewt is a real-time operating system for constrained embedded systems like 
wearables, lightbulbs, locks and doorbells. It works on a variety of 32-bit 
MCUs (microcontrollers), including ARM Cortex-M and MIPS architectures. 

Mynewt has been incubating since 2015-10-20. 

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 

1. Make further point releases capable of producing a downloadable RTOS image
with support for multiple MCU architectures, peripherals, and network 
connectivity protocols
with the goal of the first major (1.0) release in the first quarter of 2017. 
These point releases
are intended to demonstrate and solidify the repeatability, usability, and 
maturity of process.

 2. Continue to develop and execute policies that enable project contributors 
to achieve self-governance.

 3. Expand community - attract new project contributors, get users with diverse 
backgrounds applying 
project to new use cases and encouraging adoption, grow committer base.

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. Active mailing lists with increasing numbers of subscribers. 23 new 
subscribers on dev@ mailing 
list since last report.
2. Increased participation by several new contributors through pull requests 
for new MCU support, new 
BSP support, features, and test cases and test results. Increased usage of the 
project for 3rd-party 
products or demos. Outreach continues via conferences, exhibits, one on one 
meetings, tutorials, beta testers.
3. Vigorous discussions, feature proposals, code behavior analysis, and 
implementation suggestions 
on @dev mailing list.

How has the project developed since the last report? 

1. The first beta release of the first major release (1.0.0-b1) was completed 
on December 13, 2016. A 
second beta is being considered before the first release in Q1, 2017 to 
facilitate a smooth major release.
2. Planning: Issues including bug reports, features, and wish list captured and 
tracked in ASF JIRA 
by members of the community. 
3. Effort towards self governance: Voting successfully completed to grant 
committer
status to two new candidates since last report.

Date of last release: 

2016-12-13
