This is the draft for Feb 2018. Please review.
--------------------
Slider is a collection of tools and technologies to package, deploy, and
manage long running applications on Apache Hadoop YARN clusters.
Slider has been incubating since 2014-04-29.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Apache Slider community/PPMC had voted to move portions of Slider into
Apache Hadoop YARN as modules. In the first week of November, 2017,
the Apache Hadoop community voted in favor to merge all Slider specific
changes (now referred to as YARN Service) from a feature branch to
Hadoop trunk. As per the current release plan, it is expected to be GA in
Apache Hadoop release 3.1.0. It is possible that the remaining pieces
of Slider will be moved at a later point in time or become obsolete or
evolve to work closely with YARN.
2. Getting more external users.
3. Growth of a diverse set of developers/committers/PMC members.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
No.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Mailing list activity has been lower due to the bulk of the development
moving to Apache Hadoop trunk. Few questions on usage and issues
encountered by end users are sent to the DL, keeping it somewhat
active. Occasional patches are also submitted on JIRAs.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Work continues in parallel on the Apache Hadoop trunk branch and on
the Slider podling. The bulk of the work has been in Hadoop trunk. A
Yarnfile (specification for YARN Service) for the Hive/LLAP application
was committed to the Slider yarn-native-services branch. Hive/LLAP
is a Slider application on top of Apache Hadoop 2.x. The commit of
this Yarnfile paves the way for all existing owners of Slider
applications
to migrate their existing application package scripts to Apache
Hadoop 3.1.x.
How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your
own commentary.

Dear podling,
This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache
Incubator PMC. It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to
prepare your quarterly board report.
The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 21 February 2018, 10:30 am PDT.
The report for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC
report. The Incubator PMC requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks
before the board meeting, to allow sufficient time for review and
submission (Wed, February 07).
Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the Incubator
PMC, and subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the
very latest you should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board
meeting.
Thanks,
The Apache Incubator PMC
Submitting your Report
----------------------
Your report should contain the following:
* Your project name
* A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of
the project or necessarily of its field
* A list of the three most important issues to address in the move
towards graduation.
* Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
aware of
* How has the community developed since the last report
* How has the project developed since the last report.
* How does the podling rate their own maturity.
This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/February2018
Note: This is manually populated. You may need to wait a little before
this page is created from a template.
Mentors
-------
Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on
the Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are
following the project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms
for the Incubator PMC.
