[DRAFT] Daffodil Podling Report - December 2019
Daffodil
Apache Daffodil is an implementation of the Data Format Description
Language (DFDL) used to convert between fixed format data and
XML/JSON.
Daffodil has been incubating since 2017-08-27.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Increase community growth and participation from outside Tresys
(main priority)
2. Work with other Apache projects where Daffodil could provide
extra functionality (Apache PLC4X, NiFI, and Drill are potential
goals)
3. Establish a frequent release schedule
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?
- Voted to add a new Committer--working to get account created and on
boarding now.
- Daffodil talk at ApacheCon NA 2019
- Daffodil attendance at Podling SharkTank at ApacheCon NA 2019
- Daffodil talk at BarCamp at ApacheCon NA 2019
- Attended Hackathon at ApacheCon NA 2019, led to potential
collaboration with Apache PLC4X/code generation and Apache Drill
- Discussions have continue with relative frequency on users@ and dev@
mailing lists, which more new people popping up in discussions
- Planning to submit a talk for the DC Roadshow in March when CFP opens
How has the project developed since the last report?
- 25 commits merged from 4 different contributors
- 50 issues created, 28 issues resolved--lagging in keeping up with
new bugs, but focus has been on bigger features rather than bug
fixes for this release
- Nearing next release, expected in early December. Major features
include user defined functions, support for BLOBs and files larger
than 2GB, and fixed schema compilation performance regression with
ultimate goal of improving schema compilation speed.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Yep, I'll update both of those when added to the report.

1) Are we still in the "potential collaboration" stage wrt code generation? My understanding is work has already begun here.
2) The most recent commiter elected is Lola at this point.

Re: [DRAFT] Daffodil Podling Report - December 2019
Posted by Steve Lawrence <sl...@apache.org>.
I missed a new question. I'll append the following when adding the
report to the wiki:
Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings name and
brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to correct this? Has the
VP, Brand approved the project name?
- No known cases of a 3rd party incorrectly using the Daffodil name/brand.
- Podling name search has been completed and approved by Brand
Management Committee:

Hi,
Please note a new question has been added and doesn't seem to be included in this draft report.
Thanks,
