[DRAFT] Incubator PMC Board Report - June 2017

[John D. Ament]

All,

Below is the present draft of our board report.  Four podlings are missing
sign off (CC'd) and it needs some reflowing.  I removed 3 non-reporting
podlings.

Remember that you can update the report on the wiki at
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/June2017 (aka don't reply asking me to
make a change :-)

Incubator PMC report for June 2017

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.

At the end of May, there were 60 podlings incubating.  Podlings executed
six releases this month.  The incubator brought in one new podling, and the
board has motions to graduate three podlings from the incubator.  One IPMC
member stepped down while two new IPMC members joined.

* Community

  New IPMC members:

  - Bikas Saha
  - Bob Paulin

  People who left the IPMC:

  - Par Niclas Hedhman

* New Podlings

  - Superset

* Podlings that failed to report, expected next month

  - MRQL - No on list discussion in past 3 months, limited discussions
prior to that.
  - Myriad - Discussing retirement
  - Sirona - Likely to be retired or moved as a sub-project by next report

* Graduations

  The board has motions for the following:

  - Atlas
  - MADlib
  - Mynewt

* Releases

  The following releases entered distribution during the month of
  May:

  - 2017-05-01 Apache Trafodion 2.1.0
  - 2017-05-04 Apache Mnemonic 0.7.0-incubating
  - 2017-05-09 Apache Airflow 1.8.1
  - 2017-05-09 Apache MADlib 1.10.0
  - 2017-05-17 Apache Ratis 0.1.0-alpha
  - 2017-05-30 Apache Tephra 0.12.0

* IP Clearance



* Legal / Trademarks



* Infrastructure

  - The Incubator has begun to migrate podling maintenance into Whimsy

* Miscellaneous

  - The IPMC has elected a new chair, hopefully accepted at this month's
board meeting.

AriaTosca

ARIA TOSCA project offers an easily consumable Software Development Kit(SDK)
and a Command Line Interface(CLI) to implement TOSCA(Topology and
Orchestration Specification of Cloud Applications) based solutions.

AriaTosca has been incubating since 2016-08-27.

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

  1. Grow the community and enroll new committers.
  2. Have frequent Release cycles to be compliant with the Apache Way.
  3. Move the website to apache.org

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

 The project is ready for its first release as far as the code is
concerned; We're working on updating the README and ensuring compatibility
with ASF's regulations regarding creating releases.
On the latter issue, we've come across a few possible problems, that are
being discussed on the project's mailing list.
For more information, see the threads "ARIA dependencies License issues"
and "A few questions about creating a release" on the mailing list archive.


How has the community developed since the last report?

 * All project communication takes now place on either the mailing list or
ASF's Slack, and is open for everybody.
 * Increased chatter on the mailing list including new subscribers who ask
questions, make suggestions and are likely to become contributors
themselves in the near future.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 1. ARIA now has a CLI, making it usable as a stand alone tool as well as a
library.
 2. Usage examples have been added
 3. End-to-End tests now run on a daily basis (as well as on CIs for every
commit)
 4. 93 JIRA issues have been resolved since the last report

How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Re: Podling Report Reminder - June 2017

[John D. Ament]

All,

Please see the below note.  There was no report filed, which is very concerning 
for a new podling.  Please reach out to your mentors if you're not sure how to 
get the report together.
