[DISCUSS] ASF Board Draft Report - October 2016

[Stephen Mallette <sp...@gmail.com>]

A lot of stuff seems to have happened since our last report - did I miss
anything?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Description:
 Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases
 (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP).

## Activity:
 TinkerPop has added a new member to the PMC in Jason Plurad and a new
 committer in David Brown.

 TinkerPop released 3.1.4 and 3.2.2. 3.2.2 contains gremlin-python[1],
which
 officially opens TinkerPop up to the Python community. We tend to think
 of Python as the most used language for TinkerPop outside of the JVM so
 having native support for it should help expand usage. October will see
 releases 3.1.5 and 3.2.3. These two releases are mostly bug fixes and
minor
 usability improvements. We expect to continue to maintain both of these
 lines of code (bug fixes for 3.1.4 and ongoing development of 3.2.2), but
 intend to begin work on a new major line in 3.3.0 in the coming weeks.

 In an effort to share the technical knowledge of "releasing TinkerPop",
we've
 started to share the work of that process. While we've always had our
release
 process documented[2] and a single release manager can handle releases,
 we've determined it better (when possible) to have one release manager per
 release line. Our initial trial with one release manager per version, on
the
 previous release, worked well. We hope to continue with this approach for
 future releases.

 Promotionally speaking, there have been a number of talks at conferences
on,
 or related, to TinkerPop. As a sample, here are the talks given by PMC
 members:

 Graph Computing with Apache TinkerPop - Dr. Marko Rodriguez [3]
 Graph Processing with Titan and Scylla - Jason Plurad [4]

 On the brand management front, it was noted by a PMC member (Jason Plurad
 had just been voted in almost to the day he made the report) that there
was
 an individual selling products (baby clothes, mugs, t-shirts, etc.) on
Amazon
 with TinkerPop graphics on them. Soon after, a second company was also
noted
 selling similar products on an independent site. Neither, had permission
from
 Apache to do that. After some discussion with Trademarks, the PMC chair
sent
 notice to both sites requesting that they acknowledge the marks in their
 product description. No response was received from the seller on Amazon,
but
 all products were quickly removed. No response was received from the second
 seller, but on greater inspection of the site, it doesn't really appear to
be
 terribly active or maintained. Next steps with respect to this seller have
 yet to be discussed.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Releases:
 - 3.1.4 (September 6, 2016)
 - 3.2.2 (September 6, 2016)

## PMC/Committer:

 - Last PMC addition was Jason Plurad - August 2016
 - Last committer addition was David Brown - August 2016
