Incubator PMC report for February 2017

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

There are presently 63 podlings incubating.  We had one new PMC member and
had one podling retire.  There were seven podling releases in the month of
January.

* Community

  New IPMC members:

  - Markus Weimer

  People who left the IPMC:

  - N/A

* New Podlings

  - MXNet
  - Ratis

* Graduations

  The board has motions for the following:

  - None

* Retiring Podlings

  - Climate Model Data Analyzer

* Releases

  The following releases entered distribution during the month of
  January:

  - 2017-01-03 Apache Juneau 6.0.1
  - 2017-01-17 Apache Fineract 0.6.0
  - 2017-01-20 Apahce Impala 2.8.0
  - 2017-01-24 Apache Gossip 0.1.1

  - 2017-01-28 Apache Carbondata 1.0.0


* IP Clearance

  - Henri Yandell has stepped up to help revise the IP Clearance page,
improve wording to not sound so closely tied to corporate donations.

* Miscellaneous

  - An updated format of the Incubator report will be rolling out in the
March report.  A preview based on the February template can be found at
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/testpage
  - We have begun pushing a hard review of both active podlings and mentors
associated.  A number of mentors have stepped down from their roles, and
a few podlings have been contacted to begin thinking about retirement.
  - Report formatting continues to be an issue until a fix is applied to
whimsy.
  - Report contents are much more robust this month, likely due to increased
requests for input in podling reports.

  - Report Manager: John D. Ament

Blur

Blur is a search platform capable of searching massive amounts of data
in a cloud computing environment.

Blur has been incubating since 2012-07-24.

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

  1. Greater community involvement.
  2. Produce releases.
  3.

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

  Lack of community involvement has brought the topic of retirement to the
  blur-dev list.

  We feel that the board should be aware of a potential retirement to the
  project.

All,

Wanted to drop a note that none of the 5 podlings have received sign off
since I sent the first draft yesterday.

[DRAFT] Incubator PMC Board Report - February 2017

2017-02-05 Thread John D. Ament 
All,

Below please find the Incubator board report.  I've CC'd podlings missing
sign off as a nudge to provide sign off.  As is expected, there is a higher
amount of mentors signing off on reports this month.

increasing the diversity.
 b. Increased mailing list activity, the solutions be discussed by
mailing list and users can get efficient helps to quickly
