Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Accept the iota project into the Apache Incubator

[Tony Faustini]

Hi Hadrian, thanks so much for setting up the infrastructure. I will ask the 
remaining individuals to submit their ICLA and also ask Litbit to submit it’s 
CCLA. I will likely volunteer to take care of the initial admin duties until we 
get a flow of communication and a decision making via the mailing lists is 
established. Thanks for submitting the first first monthly report. Is the code 
grant process you are referring to below the CCLA or is it an additional 
requirement?

Re: [PROPOSAL] Tempo - A proposal for an enterprise IoT platform

[Tony Faustini]

Greg, think of this as a continuum some IoT use cases are simple ( a few 
sensors) others might be at an industrial scale (data centers with 100,000s of 
sensors). In between there are many other use cases. The data store needed at 
different points of the continuum will be different. iota is meant to provide a 
framework for this continuum enabling simple data stores and complex ones 
depending on the particular use case. The data store is not an integral part of 
iota, it simply enables the data store needs at different points of the 
continuum. The same would apply to things like Hadoop, Storm, or Flink. If you 
are at the data center end of the continuum then iota should make it easy for 
you to use big data infrastructure. iota can facilitate this but it’s not 
needed if you have a simple use case. For example if you want to download iota 
and use it in a home project then that should be a simple download and install 
process. If you are an global company like ABB or Schneider then you might want 
to build your own industrial scale IoT solution and iota could be at it’s core.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Tempo - A proposal for an enterprise IoT platform

[Tony Faustini]

Greg, a number of examples have been used - including a data center - but there 
is no intention of focusing iota on data centers. As I mentioned below IoT is a 
continuum that encompasses many use cases. iota is all about 
endpoints/sensors/etc. capturing endpoints moving them (securely if needed) 
through a data pipeline so that actions can be performed such a turning on a GE 
light bulb in your home to turning a damper in an industrial application. One 
of the goals of iota is to enable you to access translators to take all those 
non- TCP/IP connections and allow them to interact with other endpoints, that’s 
one of the functions of iota. In fact a pluggable framework is available that 
will enable all kinds of non-IP based systems to become first class citizens in 
the IoT world. In fact as part of iota we will be giving ASF Modbus and BACnet 
translators as well as a roadmap for many other non-IP protocols. iota also 
works with the Intel Edison board. We are looking forward to the community 
writing translators for raspberry pi, Arduino and other popular controllers. 
Nice questions!  On a hardware note we also designed and build our own 
Micro-controller that enabled many non-ip protocols to be brought into an IP 
world and are considering making that open source too.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Tempo - A proposal for an enterprise IoT platform

[Tony Faustini]

Gregory, there are great tools out there for the analysis of IoT data and we 
don’t want to duplicate those efforts in iota. Rather we want to make sure iota 
is fully capable of interacting with tools like Hadoop, Storm, and Flink in 
those cases where the their is enough data to warrant the use of such tools. 
iota can be simple enough to download and use in small applications or used in 
conjunction with a scalable infrastructure like Mesos to provide a scaled 
industrial solution. It would be nice to have a PostgreSQL adaptor for those 
that want to use that particular data store.

Thanks

Yes a PostgreSQL adaptor would be great and using Hadoop and Spark is a very 
natural fit for Tempo. Other Apache projects like Flink be very useful.

Hi Hadrian, we would have no problem with you sharing the Tempo (iota) source

Thanks Gregory we look forward to seeing you around. We currently use MySQL and

Hi Hadrian, I have made the changes to the Tempo proposal relative to it’s 
renaming as iota. The changes are in the proposal itself I don’’t think I can 
rename the top-level project name from Tempo to iota (let me know if I can or 
should). If anything else needs to be done please let me know.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Tempo - A proposal for an enterprise IoT platform

[Tony Faustini]

Hi Edward, Tempo is to RhythmOS as Hadoop is to Cloudera or Hortonworks. Anyone 
can take Tempo and build out a enterprise solution of their own. As a community 
we would all benefit as more enterprises or individuals contribute to the 
ongoing development of a robust Tempo core. 

I hope this answers your question.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Tempo - A proposal for an enterprise IoT platform

[Tony Faustini]

Hi Roman, yes there has been activity. I sent Hadrian the source code to review 
and share with others who are interested in being mentors. Our plan is to make 
it public via Github or Bitbucket. We are also reviewing the name ‘Tempo’ as 
there may be a issue with TempoIQ (https://www.tempoiq.com/ 
<https://www.tempoiq.com/>). We have several other names that might even be 
better than Tempo. If you are interested in seeing the source code Hadrian can 
make it available to you. We will work on the GitHub public version right after 
the holidays. 

Great that you remember JavaStudio that’s a project that Oracle should consider 
making OpenSource.

Tempo - will there be issues using this name?

[Tony Faustini]

Hi all,  as part of the due diligence for the TempoProposal we need to see if 
the name ’Tempo’ is viable. I did a search of the US Trademark Electronic 
Search System (TESS) and found 188 live uses of this name as well as a Google 
Search. The most interesting one that emerged and that is directly related to 
this technology space was a Chicago based start-up called TempoIQ see 
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tempo#/entity 
. It would be good to 
get the Apache Legal team perspective on this. I didn’t do an International 
search on the name yet but will do so if needed.

Thanks
-Tony

[PROPOSAL] Tempo - A proposal for an enterprise IoT platform

[Tony Faustini]

To: general@incubator.apache.org

Hi All, Litbit is an enterprise IoT company comprised of individuals
that have worked for Yahoo, Apple, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Intel,
Cisco Systems and 365 Main. We are working with some of the world's
leading companies providing them with an enterprise IoT platform. We
value the open source community and the way it is changing enterprise
software. We are eager to build an open source community around Tempo
which powers RhythmOS our commercial offering.

Thanks

Tempo - A Proposal for Apache Incubator

Abstract

The Apache Foundation has been very successful in bringing together
key software components that have enabled people to interact with each
other via a variety of content platforms and it will no doubt continue
to do so.  At the same time modern society is becoming increasingly
dependent on devices that interact with each other and with people.
The amount of data that will be produced by devices will be orders of
magnitude greater than what has been produced by humans in the past.
In addition, the orchestration of devices and people will be an
important area of growth for the foreseeable future. This new dynamic
will eventually become manifest in a growing number of Apache projects
that enable this to occur. Our wish is to contribute to this movement
by contributing the Tempo system to the Open Source Community via the
Apache Foundation. Tempo is an open platform to interconnect any and
all devices, sensors, people, and applications, henceforth referred to
as points, through a scalable, secure, and modular architecture,
enabling applications to generate analysis, create actions and/or add
intelligence to their behaviors and patterns.

Proposal

Perhaps you are a homeowner configuring the interaction between your
family and all the smart devices in your home. Or you might be a
global company orchestrating millions of devices and people across
different continents.  Either way you face the same fundamental
problem; namely, how do you manage many points in a secure robust and
meaningful manner?  Tempo is an open source software system that
enables homeowners and global companies to download a software system
that provides secure and robust orchestration.

The Tempo system consists of a variety of components:

- A basic but extensible desktop
- An extensible mechanism for capturing data from a variety of sources
- A set of translators that feed the data capture mechanism and a
framework for the development of additional translators
- A secure means of moving data using digital envelopes based on
symmetric and asymmetric encryption and decryption via Apache Kafka
- Optionally maintaining data encrypted in a datastore
- Support for a variety of data repositories
- Authentication and authorization using oAuth2
- Secure APIs for access to data and the system information
- User management
- Device management
- Automated software upgrades via Salt
- Configuration management
- Robust basic infrastructure based on Apache Mesos that enables scalability
- Dockerized applications

Background

We are in the midst of a revolution in which the Internet of Things
(IoT) is poised to impact the development of our society in ways we
can not even begin to imagine. Unfortunately, we know of no coherent
OSS (Open Source Software) solution that can harness the
potentialities of this increasingly important trend. Manufacturers of
IoT devices, both in the consumer and industrial spaces, continue to
develop proprietary systems. Tempo is an open source IoT system that
creates an open source solution enabling the orchestration of IoT
devices that brings the benefits of OSS to this space. Tempo was
initially developed by Litbit and is deployed in a growing number of
Industrial contexts, especially in the context of Data Center
Infrastructure.

Rationale

Tempo is a general platform for orchestrating IoT devices in both
consumer and industrial contexts. It is complementary to the existing
Apache projects and is itself built using of a number of Apache
projects.  Bringing Tempo into Apache is very beneficial to both the
Apache community and the IoT community.

The rapid growth of IoT needs to be harnessed in the Open Source
Community. We believe the Apache Foundation is a great fit as the
long-term home for Tempo, as it provides an established process for
community-driven development and decision making by consensus. This is
exactly the model we want for future Tempo development.

Initial Goals

Move the existing codebase to Apache
Integrate with the Apache development process
Ensure all dependencies are compliant with Apache License version 2.0
Incremental development and releases per Apache guidelines

Current Status

Tempo has undergone a major release (0.1) and is being used in
production by several global organizations. The Tempo codebase is
currently hosted at github.com, which will seed the Apache git
repository.

Meritocracy

We plan to invest in supporting
