[MENTORS] Apache RANGER - Quarterly Status Report Draft Ending December 31, 2014

@Mentors:

Please find the draft quarterly status report for Apache RANGER.

Can you please review and update the status report to the Apache Incubating site asap ?

Thanks,
Selva-

Ranger

The Ranger project is a framework to enable, monitor and manage comprehensive
data security across the Hadoop platform.

Apache Ranger has been incubating since 2014-07-24.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

 * Increase the Ranger contributors/committers across industry verticals 
 * Establish a automated git check-in process to validate the check-in patches for quality control (similar to Hadoop QA)
 * Add more documentation to support new users and contributors.


Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

 *  None

How has the community developed since the last report?

 * Added few more contributors 
 * Vote for adding an additional committer is in progress with private@ranger.incubator
 * Issues (JIRAs) created/resolved since last report (after Oct-01-2014 before Dec-30-2014):
	Created:	115
	Resolved:	100 

How has the project developed since the last report?

 * Project Name has been renamed from "Apache Argus” to “Apache Ranger”
 * Three Release candidates were voted in dev community for Ranger-0.4.0 version and RC3 has been voted to be released in IPMC
 * First release of Apache Ranger 0.4.0 on Nov-17,2014 
 * Apache Ranger 0.4.0 Release artifacts are published in https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/ranger/0.4.0-incubating/ 
 * Ranger Documentation wiki Site (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/RANGER) has been added.
 * Working on release of Apache 0.4.1 to avoid compilation issues related to SNAPSHOT libraries in HBase and Hive dependencies 
 * Working on adding more security functionalities for the next release, Apache Ranger 0.5.0

Date of last release:

 Nov-17-2014

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

Thanks Daniel, Here is the updated status with “mailing activities” added.  

Since I also do not have access to the incubator wiki, I will ask Owen to help with updating the wiki with the status …

Thanks,

Hi Selva,
I seem to have either misplaced my wiki credentials or I did not have 
any to start with.
Could you put me down as having signed off on this one?

One small nit; I don't think that "number of JIRAs resolved" is a 
community issue, That's a technical thing that the board normally 
doesn't care one bit about.

I would much rather have you put down the number of emails flowing 
through the mailing list, as a better gauge of the activity in the project.

With regards,
Daniel.
