Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Mynewt 0.8.0-b1-incubating

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

+1 binding (carried over from dev list). Al my usual checks done.

If possible could someone double check the bundled software and LICENSE files 
as this was reasonably complex and I may of missed something.

Also just a note that getting the source packages to compile is a bit on the 
tricky side, but can be done and documentation will be improved in future 
releases.

Thanks,
Justin

[VOTE] Release Apache Mynewt 0.8.0-b1-incubating

[Christopher Collins]

Hello,

The Apache Mynewt Incubator PPMC has approved a proposal to release
Apache Mynewt 0.8.0-b1-incubating.  We now kindly request that the
Incubator PMC members review and vote on this incubator release.

Apache Mynewt is a community-driven, permissively licensed open source
initiative for constrained, embedded applications.  Mynewt provides a
real-time operating system, flash file system, network stacks, and
support utilities for real-world embedded systems.

This would be the first release of Apache Mynewt; what has changed since
the last release is: literally everything :).

[VOTE] thread:

All automated tests in the mynewt test project for this release were
executed with no failures.  Testing was performed using the "sim"
architecture on an OS X 10.10.5 machine.

The release candidate to be voted on is available at:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/mynewt/apache-mynewt-0.8.0-b1-incubating/

The commits under consideration are as follows:

Re: Project Kudu. .NET edition

[Todd Lipcon]

To be slightly more specific, we cleared it with the _legal team_ for
the .NET foundation (who runs the project that Roman spotted), not
just some engineers.

Copyright sign offs

[Henri Yandell]

Haven't done this in a while :)

Thought I'd share that the following podlings have not yet signed off on
their Copyright sections in their status reports. I mention this because I
believe it's one of the first elements that should be signed off on the
status report and it's a worry if projects have not done so:

  cmda
  datafu
  horn
  johnzon
  odftoolkit
  openaz
  samoa
  slider
  streams
  taverna

I'd be interested to hear about any reasons why the above aren't able to
sign that element of their status file off.

(same, but for those who are < 6 months in the incubator, ie) still working
on it)

  beam
  concerted
  eagle
  fineract
  guacamole
  iota
  impala
  joshua
  metron
  milagro
  rya
  systemml
  toree
  unomi

Re: Project Kudu. .NET edition

[Todd Lipcon]

Hi Roman,

Before we first publicly used the name, we were in touch with that
project team, and got permission to do so. Additionally, I think the
project scope/purpose is different enough that it wouldn't cause
confusion. (fwiw based on tweets, I think there is also a fast food
chain in Saudi Arabia named Kudu)

If the ASF needs some documentation of this, I'll see what we can dig up.

Project Kudu. .NET edition

[Roman Shaposhnik]

Hi!

while working on some .NET Foundation
projects I've come across:
https://www.dotnetfoundation.org/kudu

Not sure how much of a problem this could
be for Apache Kudu (incubating).

Thanks,

[ANNOUNCE] Apache Kudu (incubating) 0.7.0 released

[Jean-Daniel Cryans]

The Apache Kudu (incubating) team is happy to announce its first release as
part of the ASF Incubator, version 0.7.0!

Kudu is an open source storage engine for structured data which supports
low-latency random access together with efficient analytical access
patterns. It is designed within the context of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem
and supports many integrations with other data analytics projects both
inside and outside of the Apache Software Foundation.

This latest version adds limited support for Apache Spark, makes it
possible to build Kudu on more platforms, has a completely revamped Python
client, has improvements to both C++ and Java client libraries, and fixes
many bugs.

Download it here: *http://getkudu.io/releases/0.7.0/
*

Regards,

The Apache Kudu (incubating) team

===

Apache Kudu (incubating) is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache
Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making
process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful
ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection
of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that
the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Re: [DISCUSS] Gearpump incubation proposal

[Henri Yandell]

Thought I'd share a report I generated from some code of mine on the
gearpump GitHub org (attached - though mail server may block).

The highlights are:

* 9 repos.
* High number of pull requests resolved (1026/1030).
* Fairly high number of issues resolved (853/951).
* Pull requests are resolved very quickly, over half in an hour.
* Issues a more classic 'nessie' curve. This is what I usually see for
issue/pull-request response time.
* Good balance of community and project for opening of
issues/pull-requests, but my report is limited here as I go by the public
members of the organization and I'm not analyzing where the reporters are
coming from.

Anyway - thought I'd share as I was impressed by the pull request activity.
