The Apache Software Foundation Operations Summary: October-December 2014
>> this announcement is available online at http://s.apache.org/fOb FOUNDATION OPERATIONS SUMMARY October-December 2014 "The Apache Software Foundation is a cornerstone of the modern open source software ecosystem – supporting some of the most widely used and important software solutions powering today's Internet economy..." –Mark Driver, Research Vice President, Gartner Group > The Place for Open Innovation and Collaboration: A recent recount of the the > ASF's projects and initiatives revealed that the number exceeds 350, > including 160 Top-level Projects, 110 sub-projects (not in the original > census), 36 podlings in the Apache Incubator, and 39 technical initiatives in > the Apache Labs. New projects that have entered the Apache Incubator are: > Corinthia (CMS), Htrace (Big Data), Ignite (Big Data), Kylin (Big Data), Lens > (Big Data), NiFi (Cloud Computing), SAMOA (Big Data), Tamaya (Java > Tools/Frameworks), Taverna (Workflow Management), and Zeppelin (Big Data > Analytics). Podlings that graduated the Incubator as Apache Top-Level > Projects are: DeviceMap, Drill, Falcon, and MetaModel. Hadoop Development > Tools retired from the Incubator. We distributed formal press releases to > support the above milestones, and have conducted regular outreach to members > of the media and analyst community, and to the community at-large through the > new weekly Apache News Round-Up reports via email to announce@apache.org. To > help developers and users identify their affiliation with products and > initiatives under the Apache umbrella, we provided new "Powered by Apache" > graphical assets for all Apache projects > http://www.apache.org/foundation/press/kit/#poweredby > Apache Community: "Community Over Code" is the cornerstone of the > Foundation's core tenets, underscoring open collaboration amongst the ASF's > 500+ Members and 4,500+ Committers through respectful, honest, > technically-focused interaction. We participated in Google Summer of Code for > the 9th consecutive year: of the initial 42 students accepted, 36 passed the > midterm evaluations and 35 passed the final evaluations. ApacheCon, the > Foundation's official user conference, trainings, and expo was held in 17-21 > November 2014 in Budapest, Hungary. Preparations are underway for ApacheCon > North America (13-17 April 2015/Austin, Texas), including soliciting > presentations and processing travel assistance applications. In addition, the > Lucene/Solr and CloudStack communities will be co-locating conference events > during ApacheCon. > Contributions and License Agreements: We received and filed 198 Individual > CLAs, 18 Corporate CLAs, and 8 software grants. > Infrastructure: Over the past quarter, the ASF Infrastructure team has > largely been focused on automation and paying down some long standing > technical debt. Much of the focus has been on covering the spread of > configuration management over our core services. Thanks to several > Infrastructure sponsors, we have been able to move move a number of services > into the public Cloud. Of course, there are a number of project and user > facing changes taking place as well; we've debuted a code signing service to > give our projects' end users a better installation experience while making > them more secure. We've also dramatically improved our CI platform, adding > much additional capacity and capability in the form of more static slaves, > the ability to spin up on-demand slaves as well as Docker containers. Apache > Infrastructure contractors work tirelessly around the globe and around the > clock to ensure our distributed project teams can continue to work without > worrying about the services they depend upon. ASF Infrastructure averaged > 99.39% overall uptime, as detailed at http://s.apache.org/uptime > Budget: As ASF sponsorship funds are a critical part of ensuring we can > support all Apache projects, Infrastructure accounts for our largest expense > at 63% of our current budget. 10% of our budget is allocated to Marketing & > Publicity, where our contractor ensures prompt and appropriate responses to > all inquiries. An additional 10% is spent on general administration, > comprising legal and bank fees, insurances, executive assistant, accounting > services, and associated expenses. 5% is dedicated to ASF Brand Management to > ensure Apache brands remain independent of any individual commercial > interests through trademark registration and related activities.
