While I have some concerns about the size of the project I trust the Champion 
and Mentors.

Should the Mentors feel they need help then please reach out here.

*** KIE proposal ***

Abstract

KIE (Knowledge is Everything) is a community of solutions and
supporting tooling for knowledge engineering and process automation,
focusing on events, rules, and workflows.

Proposal

KIE is a community dedicated to supporting knowledge engineering and
process automation, using standards from groups like OMG (BPMN, CMMN,
DMN), CNCF (Serverless Workflow, Cloud Events), and DMG (PMML, PFA).
KIE is comprised of leading open-source projects (like Drools and
jBPM), which provide modeling and code authoring tools in this space.
The work has a strong emphasis on being a first-class citizen for
Kubernetes but will continue to support embedded and other
environments such as edge computing. Drools and jBPM are well-known
projects in their areas of rules and workflow and they will be joined
by another project, building on a shared core with jBPM, for CNCF’s
Serverless Workflow - this project is going through a naming process
at the time of this application. Kogito is the foundation project for
workflow which jBPM and CNCF’s Serverless Workflow build on. Services
and frameworks are provided to enable those projects in a cloud-native
environment and tooling is made available through KIE Tools.

Background

Experience has shown that a holistic approach is a practical
requirement for any  knowledge engineering and process automation.
This requires a breadth of capabilities able to model and execute an
application’s data models, rules, workflows, and events. These
projects aim to provide a holistic approach with a strong emphasis on
congruency across them.

Rationale


Knowledge engineering and process automation have been and continue to
play a large part in today’s software lifecycle. To date, there have
been few truly open-source implementations of any of the
specifications (DMN, PMML, BPMN, CNCF Workflow, etc). The projects
within Red Hat implement these standards and fill that gap of having
an open-source implementation.

The projects within KIE also mesh well with other Apache projects such
as Apache Camel and Apache Airavata. Integrations could be done at the
IoT level with Apache PLC4X and others.

Developers need a solution that follows, implements, and collaborates
with these industry specifications. The Apache Software Foundation
would allow these projects to continue to grow in a vendor-neutral
environment and promote further collaboration with existing
integrations and future partners.

Initial Goals

First and foremost, we aim to enlarge the community. KIE has primarily
been an open-source community of Red Hat Developers and users outside
of Red Hat. Adding IBM to the list of developers helps, but we would
like to see more. We have ideas for the various sub-projects, such as
straight-through processing support in Kogito, better spec compliance
for the tooling, and more research into language bindings for non-Java
languages. We believe we can address some of these while an Apache
Incubator project.

Current Status


Code for the various projects with the KIE community is all hosted on
GitHub. This includes Kogito, Drools, jBPM, and KIE Tools. All of the
code is Apache 2 licensed. Red Hat has been the project’s custodian
since its inception and has maintained leadership in that area. Moving
forward into the Apache Incubator, we would need to establish the
habit of holding votes and meetings and the project updates per the
Apache Way.

We also currently maintain a YouTube channel dedicated to the
community and projects, a Twitter presence, and a LinkedIn page for
the KIE Community.

Meritocracy

Red Hat runs all of its open-source projects as meritocracies, the KIE
Community is no different. This aspect would not change any. Kogito
currently does not make a distinction between “committer” and “PMC
member” the same way Apache does. That aspect would need
implementation.

Community

The KIE Community has an active base of contributors within and
outside Red Hat. Community members currently use Zulip chat or mailing
lists hosted by Google Groups as communication tools. It has been that
way for many years. Before that, we were using IRC at Freenode for
many years. There are also mailing lists hosted on Google Groups that
are leveraged for those who prefer mailing list communication. Zulip
was started as a standard communication medium for KIE Community back
in 2020. IRC has been used since 2003.

Core Developers

Core developers would come from both Red Hat and IBM. They include
people who have been working on related projects and the creation of
the KIE Community since the beginning, and also people new to the
project.

Alignment

Projects within the KIE Community align with multiple efforts within
Apache, namely:

  *   Apache OpenWhisk
  *   Apache Airavata
  *   Apache Camel

Looks like I messed up sections. Happy to change, but I don't have edit access 
to the Wiki. We have the Apache Camel project and Brian Proffit as sponsors for 
the incubator project.

Sponsors
IBM and Red Hat are the sponsors for the project.

I think this sponsor part referring an ASF TLP, which usually be the
incubator in here or other TLPs.
These two companies may provide support to the developers, but this is
not the meaning of the proposal.

I think this sponsor part referring an ASF TLP, which usually be the
