OpenWhisk podling report
--------------------

- OpenWhisk
+ OpenWhisk
- distributed Serverless computing platform
+ OpenWhisk is an open source, distributed Serverless computing
+ platform able to execute application logic (Actions) in response
+ to events (Triggers) from external sources (Feeds) or HTTP
+ requests governed by conditional logic (Rules). It provides a
+ programming environment supported by a REST API-based Command
+ Line Interface (CLI) along with tooling to support packaging and
+ catalog services. The OpenWhisk platform components are packaged
+ as Docker containers and can be deployed directly to Docker or
+ deployed using Container Frameworks such as Mesos, Kubernetes,
+ Compose, and YARN.
+
OpenWhisk has been incubating since 2016-11-23.

+ Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
+ 1. Close legal transfer of trademark on "OpenWhisk" name and
+ logo to ASF from IBM.
+ 2. Complete project maturity model assessment and formal
+ graduation process Project Maturity Model.
+ 3. Improve release automation. A comprehensive OpenWhisk
+ release includes over 20 sub-components, each drawn from its
+ own github repo and each packaged as a separately
+ downloadable source release.
+ a. Release process/automation/documentation are here
+ https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-release.
+ b. During incubation, we have made over a dozen conforming
+ Apache releases of sub-components. We have developed
+ reasonable automation for releasing a group of
+ sub-components, but there is a need to further define and
+ automate the process of making a unified release of a
+ coherent set of released sub-components.

+ 1. Formal hand-off of OpenWhisk trademark/logo from IBM needs to be
+ executed; hopefully this will happen at the March ASF Board meeting.
+ 2. The podling was down to one active mentor for several months,
+ which has made getting the required minimum of 3 positive IPMC
+ votes for each released component a significant challenge. This
+ had a negative effect on project velocity and PPMC morale. At
+ the time of this report, the IPMC is taking action by soliciting
+ additional mentors to help the project finish out its incubation.

How has the project developed since the last report?
+ 1. There has been a focus on clearing the backlog of PRs and issues
+ across all our github repos, motivated by a desire to make a
+ unified release of all the OpenWhisk system sub-components.
+ There is still significant work needed to clear out stale issues
+ in the core repository, but the PR backlog mentioned in multiple
+ previous reports has been rectified.
+ 2. Project technical highlights include (a) the addition of a .NET
+ runtime component, (b) merged support for concurrent activation
+ processing, (c) merged support for a "lean" system configuration
+ suited for resource-limited hosts, (d) added the capability of
+ deploying OpenWhisk on Apache YARN, (e) the unification of the
+ `wskdeploy` and `wsk` CLIs into a single `wsk` cli.

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive or are things falling
through the cracks? In the latter case, please list any open issues
that need to be addressed.
+ Our sole remaining mentor has been helpful and responsive, but
+ release voting has been challenging. The recent efforts of the IPMC
+ to identify projects needing additional mentors and should allow us
+ to regain our desired release velocity.
