Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Accept the iota project into the Apache Incubator

[Hadrian Zbarcea]

Hi,

A bit of status. Most of the infrastructure is created. The Jira space 
is waiting for a reboot of the system and will only be available next 
Tue. The git repo is however available and we can start the code grant 
process (by litbit, whom afaik owns the IP). Committers should continue 
to submit the iclas and subcribe to lists.


The project needs to submit a report to the incubator quarterly (monthly 
for the first 3 mo). I took the liberty tho submit the report for this 
month [1], but I expect one or more committers to step up (the ASF is a 
meritocracy) and take care (with help) of admin duties. Once most 
everybody subscribes to the list, such communication should happen on 
the (mailing) lists.


Best,
Hadrian

Hi Tony, Reza,

I created an issue for infra to create the project resources [4] (mailing

Please review the incubation policy on setting up a new podling [5]. What 
you'll need to do (or complete, because I think you already started) is the 
CLAs (individual and corporate), orientation (it really helps) and the code 
grant and IP clearance.

Feel free to get in touch with me as necessary to coordinate. It'll get easier 
once the mailing list are created.

Hi Hadrian, thanks so much for setting up the infrastructure. I will ask the 
remaining individuals to submit their ICLA and also ask Litbit to submit it’s 
CCLA. I will likely volunteer to take care of the initial admin duties until we 
get a flow of communication and a decision making via the mailing lists is 
established. Thanks for submitting the first first monthly report. Is the code 
grant process you are referring to below the CCLA or is it an additional 
requirement?

CCLA are optional [1][2], software grants [3][4] are required. So yes that’s an 
additional requirement, SG give the ASF the rights to use to code that is 
donated.

Hi Tony, Reza,

I found time this weekend to setup the iota podling. The proposal is now 
listed in the index or proposals [1]. The project status page [2] is 
setup and listed in the incubator list [3]. I will maintain the status 
page in the early phases. I created an issue for infra to create the

Please review the incubation policy on setting up a new podling [5]. 
What you'll need to do (or complete, because I think you already

iota Proposal

Abstract

The Apache Foundation has been very successful in bringing together key
software components that have enabled people to interact with each other
via a variety of content platforms and it will no doubt continue to do
so. At the same time modern society is becoming increasingly dependent
on devices that interact with each other and with people. The amount of
data that will be produced by devices will be orders of magnitude
greater than what has been produced by humans in the past. In addition,
the orchestration of devices and people will be an important area of
growth for the foreseeable future. This new dynamic will eventually
become manifest in a growing number of Apache projects that enable this
to occur. Our wish is to contribute to this movement by contributing the
iota system to the Open Source Community via the Apache Foundation.
Apache iota is an open platform to interconnect any and all devices,
sensors, people, and applications, henceforth referred to as points,
through a scalable, secure, and modular architecture, enabling
applications to generate analysis, create actions and/or add
intelligence to their behaviors and patterns.

Proposal

Perhaps you are a homeowner configuring the interaction between your
family and all the smart devices in your home. Or you might be a global
company orchestrating millions of devices and people across different
continents. Either way you face the same fundamental problem; namely,
how do you manage many points in a secure robust and meaningful manner?
Apache iota is an open source software system that enables homeowners
and global companies to download a software system that provides secure
and robust orchestration.

The iota system consists of a variety of components:

A basic but extensible desktop
An extensible mechanism for capturing data from a variety of sources
A set of translators that feed the data capture mechanism and a
framework for the development of additional translators
A secure means of moving data using digital envelopes based on symmetric
and asymmetric encryption and decryption via Apache Kafka
Optionally maintaining data encrypted in a datastore
Support for a variety of data repositories
Authentication and authorization using OAuth2
Secure APIs for access to data and the system information
User management
Device management
Automated software upgrades via Salt
Configuration management
Robust basic infrastructure based on Apache Mesos that enables
scalability
Dockerized applications
Background

We are in the midst of a revolution in which the Internet of Things
(IoT) is poised to impact the development of our society in ways we can
not even begin to imagine. Unfortunately, we know of no coherent OSS
(Open Source Software) solution that can harness the potentialities of
this increasingly important trend. Manufacturers of IoT devices, both in
the consumer and industrial spaces, continue to develop proprietary
systems. Apache iota is an open source IoT system that creates an open
source solution enabling the orchestration of IoT devices that brings
the benefits of OSS to this space. Apache iota was initially developed
by Litbit and is deployed in a growing number of Industrial contexts,
especially in the context of Data Center Infrastructure.

Rationale

Apache iota is a general platform for orchestrating IoT devices in both
consumer and industrial contexts. It is complementary to the existing
Apache projects and is itself built using of a number of Apache
projects. Bringing iota into Apache is very beneficial to both the
Apache community and the IoT community.

The rapid growth of IoT needs to be harnessed in

 iota Proposal

 Abstract

 The Apache Foundation has been very successful in bringing together key
 software components that have enabled people to interact with each other
 via a variety of content platforms and it will no doubt continue to do
 so. At the same time modern society is becoming increasingly dependent
 on devices that interact with each other and with people. The amount of
 data that will be produced by devices will be orders of magnitude
 greater than what has been produced by humans in the past. In addition,
 the orchestration of devices and people will be an important area of
 growth for the foreseeable future. This new dynamic will eventually
 become manifest in a growing number of Apache projects that enable this
 to occur. Our wish is to contribute to this movement by contributing the
 iota system to the Open Source Community via the Apache Foundation.
 Apache iota is an open platform to interconnect any and all devices,
 sensors, people, and applications, henceforth referred to as points,
 through a scalable, secure, and modular architecture, enabling
 applications to generate analysis, create actions and/or add
 intelligence to their behaviors and patterns.

 Proposal

 Perhaps you are a homeowner configuring the interaction between your
 family and all the smart devices in your home. Or you might be a global
 company orchestrating millions of devices and people across different
 continents. Either way you face the same fundamental problem; namely,
 how do you manage many points in a secure robust and meaningful manner?
 Apache iota is an open source software system that enables homeowners
 and global companies to download a software system that provides secure
 and robust orchestration.

 The iota system consists of a variety of components:

 A basic but extensible desktop
 An extensible mechanism for capturing data from a variety of sources
 A set of translators that feed the data capture mechanism and a
 framework for the development of additional translators
 A secure means of moving data using digital envelopes based on symmetric
 and asymmetric encryption and decryption via Apache Kafka
 Optionally maintaining data encrypted in a datastore
 Support for a variety of data repositories
 Authentication and authorization using OAuth2
 Secure APIs for access to data and the system information
 User management
 Device management
 Automated software upgrades via Salt
 Configuration management
 Robust basic infrastructure based on Apache Mesos that enables
 scalability
 Dockerized applications
 Background

 We are in the midst of a revolution in which the Internet of Things
 (IoT) is poised to impact the development of our society in ways we can
 not even begin to imagine. Unfortunately, we know of no coherent OSS
 (Open Source Software) solution that can harness the potentialities of
 this increasingly important trend. Manufacturers of IoT devices, both in
 the consumer and industrial spaces, continue to develop proprietary
 systems. Apache iota is an open source IoT system that creates an open
 source solution enabling the orchestration of IoT devices that brings
 the benefits of OSS to this space. Apache iota was initially developed
 by Litbit and is deployed in a growing number of Industrial

The Apache Foundation has been very successful in bringing together 
key software components that have enabled people to interact with each 
other via a variety of content platforms and it will no doubt continue 
to do so. At the same time modern society is becoming increasingly 
dependent on devices that interact with each other and with people. 
The amount of data that will be produced by devices will be orders of 
magnitude greater than what has been produced by humans in the past. 
In addition, the orchestration of devices and people will be an 
important area of growth for the foreseeable future. This new dynamic 
will eventually become manifest in a growing number of Apache projects 
that enable this to occur. Our wish is to contribute to this movement 
by contributing the iota system to the Open Source Community via the 
Apache Foundation. Apache iota is an open platform to interconnect any 
and all devices, sensors, people, and applications, henceforth 
referred to as points, through a scalable, secure, and modular 
architecture, enabling applications to generate analysis, create 
actions and/or add intelligence to their behaviors and patterns.


Proposal

Perhaps you are a homeowner configuring the interaction between your 
family and all the smart devices in your home. Or you might be a 
global company orchestrating millions of devices and people across 
different continents. Either way you face the same fundamental 
problem; namely, how do you manage many points in a secure robust and 
meaningful manner? Apache iota is an open source software system that 
enables homeowners and global companies to download a software system 
that provides secure and robust orchestration.


The iota system consists of a variety of components:

A basic but extensible desktop
An extensible mechanism for capturing data from a variety of sources
A set of translators that feed the data capture mechanism and a 
framework for the development of additional translators
A secure means of moving data using digital envelopes based on 
symmetric and asymmetric encryption and decryption via Apache Kafka

Optionally maintaining data encrypted in a datastore
Support for a variety of data repositories
Authentication and authorization using OAuth2
Secure APIs for access to data and the system information
User management
Device management
Automated software upgrades via Salt
Configuration management
Robust basic infrastructure based on Apache Mesos that enables 
scalability

Dockerized applications
Background

We are in the midst of a revolution in which the Internet of Things 
(IoT) is poised to impact the development of our society in ways we 
can not even begin to imagine. Unfortunately, we know of no coherent 
OSS (Open Source Software) solution that can harness the 
potentialities of this increasingly important trend. Manufacturers of 
IoT devices, both in the consumer and industrial spaces, continue to 
develop proprietary systems. Apache iota is an open source IoT system 
that creates an open source solution enabling the orchestration of IoT 
devices that brings the benefits of OSS to this space. Apache iota was 
initially developed by Litbit and is deployed in a growing number of 
Industrial contexts, especially in the context of Data Center 
Infrastructure.


Rationale

Apache iota is a general platform for orchestrating IoT devices in 
both consumer and industrial contexts. It is complementary to the 
existing Apache projects and is itself built using of a number of 
Apache projects. Bringing iota into Apache is very beneficial to both 
the Apache community and the IoT community.


The rapid growth of IoT needs to be harnessed in the Open Source 
Community. We believe the Apache Foundation is a great fit as the 
long-term home for iota, as it provides an established process for 
community-driven development and decision making by consensus. This is 
exactly the model we want for future iota development.


Initial Goals

Move the existing codebase to Apache
Integrate with the Apache development process
Ensure all
