You are correct Sheng, my bad. The release doc says "For every artifact distributed to the public through Apache channels" and that threw me. But indeed maven does not yet support sha256 or sha512 checksums, and even if you do upload them will treat them incorrectly as separate artefacts in the repository. This is described a bit more in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-205 I'm +1 on the release now. regards, Mick

> Everyone, I recommend you to run check by following this list: > https://github.com/apache/incubator-skywalking/blob/master/docs/en/How-to-release.md#vote-check > Great initiative Sheng! The effort going in here to double and triple check that releases that become downloaded by users around the world are safe and correct will be rewarded. It's not just embarrassing when you make a mistake in a release that impacts your users potentially causing serious grief for them, it can also be detrimental to community's spirit and engagement. It always is a good investment to have patience when going through the release process. I'm really impressed with the SkyWalking community and how well you're taking onboard all the ASF processes. regards, Mick

This is true of any significant feature contributed to any project, or of accepting any new committer. ICLA of the author(s) is enough i believe. regards, Mick
SkyWalking Podling Report - March 2018

The third report for SkyWalking has been written up. https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/March2018 Luke and William: your sign-off on the report is required. Thanks goes to Sheng for writing up the draft of this, understanding what was involved, and passing it on to me to check and add anything further. === SkyWalking Skywalking is an APM (application performance monitor), especially for microservice, Cloud Native and container-based architecture systems. Also known as a distributed tracing system. It provides an automatic way to instrument applications: no need to change any of the source code of the target application; and an collector with an very high efficiency streaming module. SkyWalking has been incubating since 2017-12-08. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. IP clearance. 3. First ASF release. (SkyWalking 5.0) 3. Further ASF culture and processes. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Recheck the Apache recommend way, when our plugin related to some GPL library. Make those plugins optional seems good enough. How has the community developed since the last report? Improved understanding of the release process way of the Apache. And prepare for the first release. A C# agent proposed by .NET community has started (https://github.com/OpenSkywalking/skywalking-csharp) After it release, will make SkyWalking can support multi languages. Some discussions about golang and Nodejs server are on going. How has the project developed since the last report? Code wise the project has good momentum. There has been ~44 pull requests opened and accepted, and 103 commits, by 7 contributors in the last month. How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary. [X] Initial setup [X] Working towards first release [ ] Community building [ ] Nearing graduation [ ] Other: Date of last release: 5.0.0-alpha is currently in progress. One attempt was made and put into the staging repository, only a minor issue blocked the test build announcement email going out. When were the last committers or PPMC members elected? Hongtao Gao (PPMC) Sheng Wu (PPMC) Shinn Zhang (PPMC) Yongsheng Peng (PPMC) === regards, Mick
Re: Podling Report Reminder - March 2018
> Please see below reminder. No report has been filed as of yet. John, my apologies. Sheng has written up a great draft two weeks ago and it's completely on me for being so lazy and not putting it into the wiki page! It's there now. regards, Mick

The second report for SkyWalking has been written up. https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/February2018 Luke and William: your sign-off on the report is required. For the Skywalking community: (Sheng Wu, Hongtao Gao, Shinn Zhang, Yongsheng Peng, DongXue Si, Kai Wang, Sheng Wang, Yang Bai, Yuntao Li, Zhang Kewei) ;the following parts of the report below are relevant to everyone. Do please feel free to ask any questions on any of it, or to point out any inaccuracies I've made. === Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. IP clearance. 3. First ASF release. (SkyWalking 5.0) 3. Further ASF culture and processes. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Some GPL compile-time library dependencies were removed from the default maven reactor. Related plugin components to the project can still be built if the GPL dependencies are manually downloaded. How has the community developed since the last report? Added a number of established to the PPMC, as it the norm in the Incubator. Improved understanding of usage of the Apache trademark, it use with the project, and avoiding ASF explicit announcements during incubation. Community reaches out to pr...@apache.org whenever uncertain. How has the project developed since the last report? The project website has been uploaded to its new location at http://skywalking.incubator.apache.org/ Code wise the project has good momentum. There has been ~40 pull requests opened and accepted, and 191 commits, in the last month. === regards, Mick
