The third report for SkyWalking has been written up. https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/March2018 Luke and William: your sign-off on the report is required. Thanks goes to Sheng for writing up the draft of this, understanding what was involved, and passing it on to me to check and add anything further. === SkyWalking Skywalking is an APM (application performance monitor), especially for microservice, Cloud Native and container-based architecture systems. Also known as a distributed tracing system. It provides an automatic way to instrument applications: no need to change any of the source code of the target application; and an collector with an very high efficiency streaming module. SkyWalking has been incubating since 2017-12-08. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. IP clearance. 3. First ASF release. (SkyWalking 5.0) 3. Further ASF culture and processes. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Recheck the Apache recommend way, when our plugin related to some GPL library. Make those plugins optional seems good enough. How has the community developed since the last report? Improved understanding of the release process way of the Apache. And prepare for the first release. A C# agent proposed by .NET community has started (https://github.com/OpenSkywalking/skywalking-csharp) After it release, will make SkyWalking can support multi languages. Some discussions about golang and Nodejs server are on going. How has the project developed since the last report? Code wise the project has good momentum. There has been ~44 pull requests opened and accepted, and 103 commits, by 7 contributors in the last month. How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary.
