2017-04-13 Thread Josh Elser 
Folks,

The Pirk PPMC have recently voted unanimously to retire the podling.
This decision, while heavy-hearted, comes on the tails of months of no
development with no change on the horizon.

Context for those interesting in reading: DISCUSS [1], VOTE [2], RESULT [3].

[ ] +1: Retire Pirk

Here's my +1 (binding)

Hello -

I would be interested in joining the IPMC and lending a hand within the
incubator.

I have recently been made an ASF member, am a committer on Apache Knox,
Hadoop, Ranger and Metron.

Please let me know if there is anything that you need from me.

= 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

Re: Apache Metron - licensing question

2017-04-13 Thread Joe Witt 
Jon,

It is always best to get definitive legal guidance from legal discuss.

This case is only complicated in that it sounds like the author
originally created the code in the metron codebase under ASLv2.  Then
copied it to another location under BSD 3-Clause.  Then each copy
evolved a little.  Now you want to merge them.  Ultimately it sounds
workable since we're talking about two Cat-A licenses compatible as
source or binary dependencies.

Thanks
Joe

Re: Apache Metron - licensing question

Hi Josh,

Can you specify which message you're referring to?  I did get some feedback
on the Metron dev mailing list from a mentor and from a PMC member, I get
the feeling that nobody else in the community is comfortable answering this
sort of question.  Should I perhaps ask this to the legal-discuss mailing
list?  Happy to do whatever is necessary to bring this to resolution.
Thanks,

Jon
