Re: [VOTE] Superset Proposal for Apache Incubator

Hello everyone,

Thank you for checking out our proposal on Superset and for your
consideration for the Apache Incubator.  So far, I believe we have 8
binding votes and 2 non-binding votes.

As Taylor mentioned earlier, we made a minor update to the wording in the
"Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan" section based on a
suggestion by John Ament.  The update was to help confirm the previously
unstated assumption that we will submit an SGA.  I have copied the updated
proposal from the wiki to the email below and highlighted (in yellow) the
new sentence below in the document.

Folks on the cc line who have already voted, please let us know if the
change impacts your vote.

Thank you all,
Jeff



= Superset =

== Abstract ==
Superset is an enterprise-ready web application for data exploration, data
visualization and dashboarding.

== Proposal ==
Superset is business intelligence (BI) software that helps modern
organizations visualize and interact with their data. Superset enables
users explore data from a variety of databases, assemble beautiful
dashboards and share their findings.  Superset works neatly with all modern
SQL-speaking databases, and integrates with Druid.io to provide real-time,
interactive, blazing fast data access to large datasets.

== Background ==
Data is mission critical. To succeed in this era, organizations need to
provide low-friction, intuitive and interactive access to data. It is
paramount for knowledge workers to be capable of answering their own
questions by querying, exploring and visualizing data.

The entire business intelligence industry has pivoted from a model of
centralized top-down platforms driven by IT organizations to self-service
analytics and agile workflows by any user.  This shift unblocks centralized
service bottlenecks for creating data visualizations while also creating an
environment that is iterative and fast-moving.  This means that business
intelligence software must also be easy and delightful to use.
Self-service analytics doesn’t mean that admin and governance features are
not needed.
Modern BI tools provide fine-grain access controls and auditing
capabilities to understand how data is being used.  Superset is a solution
that delivers on all of these vectors.

The technology stack is also constantly morphing - vendors are struggling
to provide cheap, quick and easy solutions to access data.  Business
intelligence users are finding existing solutions lacking as these software
products either disregard or react slowly to recent game-changing
technologies like Druid.io, PrestoDB, Apache Drill, Apache Kylin, d3.js,
React.js and iPython’s Jupyter for instance.

== Rationale ==
Business intelligence is more relevant today than at any other point in
history.  Organizations are currently very limited in options for open
source data visualization solutions, especially solutions that are both
self-service and enterprise-ready.  Every company informing their decisions
with data needs a BI tool.

We believe that Superset will be a strong compliment to existing Apache
Software Foundation technologies by offering scalable user interactions to
distributed storage and computation solutions.  Users will often find that
Superset can act as a catalyst for tooling that can visualize the byproduct
of data and computation infrastructure.

Superset has many key design elements that help fill a gap in current
solutions for organizations:
 * Easy, low friction access to data through a simple, web-based data
exploration interface.  Composing charts and dashboards are intuitive.
Eliminating the need to write code or SQL empowers anyone to use it.
 * Access to a wide array of rich, interactive data visualization types.
 * Enterprise-ready: Integration with different authentication mechanisms
and granular permissions centered around actions and data access.
 * Realtime & fast: Superset provides realtime analytics at the speed of
thought on very large datasets when integrated with Druid.io.
 * Broad data access: Consume data out of any SQL-speaking relational
database.
 * Extensible: Can be extended to talk to many noSQL databases like Apache
Drill, Elastic Search, and other popular database engines.
 * Fast loading dashboards with configurable web-scale caching.
 * Plug-in framework that enables organizations to build custom analytical
applications with new UI/UX interfaces.
 * SQL Lab, a state-of-the-art SQL IDE that empowers SQL-speaking users
with more flexibility.  SQL Lab integrates with the visualization engine
seamlessly.

== Initial Goals ==
The initial goals of the Superset project are several-fold:
 * Move the existing codebase to Apache and integrate with the Apache
development process.
 * Redesign the user interface and interaction model for creating
visualizations/dashboards and connecting to data sources
 * Build robust support for security and governance of the tool including
popular authorization modules (including Apache Ranger and Apache Sentry)
and a

Re: [VOTE] Superset Proposal for Apache Incubator

2017-04-26 Thread P. Taylor Goetz
There was a minor change to the proposal in the Incubator wiki, so technically 
what were voting on and the wiki don't match.

I'm okay with that and don't think it should disrupt the vote. Highlighting the 
change in this thread should be enough.

+1 (binding)

I would recommend asking for/finding additional mentors to bring the count to 
>= 3.

 Superset is business intelligence (BI) software that helps modern

 Data is mission critical. To succeed in this era, organizations need to

 paramount for knowledge workers to be capable of answering their own
 questions by querying, exploring and visualizing data.

 Business intelligence is more relevant today than at any other point in

 source data visualization solutions, especially solutions that are both
 self-service and enterprise-ready.  Every company informing their
 decisions
 with data needs a BI tool.

 Superset has many key design elements that help fill a gap in current
 solutions for organizations:
 * Easy, low friction access to data through a simple, web-based data
 exploration interface.  Composing charts and dashboards are intuitive.
 Eliminating the need to write code or SQL empowers anyone to use it.
 * Access to a wide array of rich, interactive data visualization types.

 Superset has many key design elements that help fill a gap in current
 solutions for organizations:
 * Easy, low friction access to data through a simple, web-based data
 exploration interface.  Composing charts and dashboards are intuitive.
 Eliminating the need to write code or SQL empowers anyone to use it.

 * Realtime & fast: Superset provides realtime analytics at the speed of

[VOTE] Superset Proposal for Apache Incubator

2017-04-24 Thread Jeff Feng
Dear Apache Incubator Community,

We have updated the Superset proposal
 (copied below) for
Apache Incubation with an additional mentor (Luke Han - luke@apache.org),
and would like to start a vote thread for acceptance into the incubator.

Our team is excited to share Superset with the Apache community and we hope
for the your continued support!

Cheers,
Jeff & the Superset Team




= Superset =

== Abstract ==
Superset is an enterprise-ready web application for data exploration, data
visualization and dashboarding.

== Proposal ==
Superset is business intelligence (BI) software that helps modern
organizations visualize and interact with their data. Superset enables
users explore data from a variety of databases, assemble beautiful
dashboards and share their findings.  Superset works neatly with all modern
SQL-speaking databases, and integrates with Druid.io to provide real-time,
interactive, blazing fast data access to large datasets.

== Background ==
Data is mission critical. To succeed in this era, organizations need to
provide low-friction, intuitive and interactive access to data. It is
paramount for knowledge workers to be capable of answering their own
questions by querying, exploring and visualizing data.

The entire business intelligence industry has pivoted from a model of
centralized top-down platforms driven by IT organizations to self-service
analytics and agile workflows by any user.  This shift unblocks centralized
service bottlenecks for creating data visualizations while also creating an
environment that is iterative and fast-moving.  This means that business
intelligence software must also be easy and delightful to use.
Self-service analytics doesn’t mean that admin and governance features are
not needed.
Modern BI tools provide fine-grain access controls and auditing
capabilities to understand how data is being used.  Superset is a solution
that delivers on all of these vectors.

The technology stack is also constantly morphing - vendors are struggling
to provide cheap, quick and easy solutions to access data.  Business
intelligence users are finding existing solutions lacking as these software
products either disregard or react slowly to recent game-changing
technologies like Druid.io, PrestoDB, Apache Drill, Apache Kylin, d3.js,
React.js and iPython’s Jupyter for instance.

== Rationale ==
Business intelligence is more relevant today than at any other point in
history.  Organizations are currently very limited in options for open
source data visualization solutions, especially solutions that are both
self-service and enterprise-ready.  Every company informing their decisions
with data needs a BI tool.

We believe that Superset will be a strong compliment to existing Apache
Software Foundation technologies by offering scalable user interactions to
distributed storage and computation solutions.  Users will often find that
Superset can act as a catalyst for tooling that can visualize the byproduct
of data and computation infrastructure.

Superset has many key design elements that help fill a gap in current
solutions for organizations:
 * Easy, low friction access to data through a simple, web-based data
exploration interface.  Composing charts and dashboards are intuitive.
Eliminating the need to write code or SQL empowers anyone to use it.
 * Access to a wide array of rich, interactive data visualization types.
 * Enterprise-ready: Integration with different authentication mechanisms
and granular permissions centered around actions and data access.
 * Realtime & fast: Superset provides realtime analytics at the speed of
thought on very large datasets when integrated with Druid.io.
 * Broad data access: Consume data out of any SQL-speaking relational
database.
 * Extensible: Can be extended to talk to many noSQL databases like Apache
Drill, Elastic Search, and other popular database engines.
 * Fast loading dashboards with configurable web-scale caching.
 * Plug-in framework that enables organizations to build custom analytical
applications with new UI/UX interfaces.
 * SQL Lab, a state-of-the-art SQL IDE that empowers SQL-speaking users
with more flexibility.  SQL Lab integrates with the visualization engine
seamlessly.

== Initial Goals ==
The initial goals of the Superset project are several-fold:
 * Move the existing codebase to Apache and integrate with the Apache
development process.
 * Redesign the user interface and interaction model for creating
visualizations/dashboards and connecting to data sources
 * Build robust support for security and governance of the tool including
popular authorization modules (including Apache Ranger and Apache Sentry)
and a more sophisticated permissions system
 * Grow the extensibility of the project both in terms of enhanced
connectivity to NoSQL-based data sources and creating a plug-in framework
that enables organizations to build custom analytical applications which
require a new UI/UX
