replacement script had been contemplated but now that there is less
urgency it seems likely that we will continue to use the existing
facilities.

CommonsRDF
Commons RDF is a set of interfaces and classes for RDF 1.1 concepts and
behaviours. The commons-rdf-api module defines interfaces and testing
harness. The commons-rdf-simple module provides a basic reference
implementation to exercise the test harness and clarify API contracts.
CommonsRDF has been incubating since 2015-03-06.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow the CommonsRDF Community such that we can progress
towards graduation
2. Further engage the podling with the nuances of the Apache
Incubation process
3. Drive towards the first incubating release
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Peter Ansell resigned from the PPMC, but remains affiliated with the
project.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Development and coding practices agreed.
Newcomers are joining discussions, adding feature requests.
Mailing list subscribers numbers were not included in last report. Numbers
for April 2015:
dev@ ======> 16 subscribers, 333 messages
commits@ ======> 9 subscribers, 248 messages
How has the project developed since the last report?
There has been a bunch of development activity going on at CommonsRDF with
over 200 dev@ messages in March and 300 in April. Website and
documentation established at http://commonsrdf.incubator.apache.org. All
project communication and development has been migrated to Apache
Infrastructure. The project has been introduced to the W3C Data on the
Web Best Practices Working Group to increase the community. There is also
an ongoing thread relating to the first project incubating release with a
release candidate currently being voted on.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Chris Mattmann:
Peter Ansell's resignation from the IPMC isn't related to this project,
right?
Rob Vesse:
Peter Ansell's resignation was due to frustrations at the speed of
progress particularly
around some technical discussions that he had felt had previously been
resolved prior to this
project entering the Incubator and so he has chosen to focus his efforts
on other projects.
The project does seem to now have resolved those issues and has been able
to move forward
with a first release candidate.
John Ament:
Peter Ansell resigned from the PPMC/Podling, not the IPMC.
--------------------

1. Activity
2. Name Search
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

Groovy
Apache Groovy is a multi-faceted programming language for the Java platform.
Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-
typing and static compilation capabilities, aimed at multiplying developers’
productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax. It
integrates smoothly with any Java program, and immediately delivers to your
application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain-
Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming and
functional programming.
Groovy has been incubating since 2015-03-24
The most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. We still have to get our new release process ready for making our first
release under the incubator banner
2. We need to continue encouraging our users to use our new resources at
Apache instead of using the old ones at Codehaus (in particular
mailing-lists which are still running at Codehaus)
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
We noticed some issues with JIRA rights that we brought to the attention
to our mentors.
How has the community developed since the last report?
With the JIRA creation and the mirroring on Github, the project received
new tickets and also code contributions through pull requests.
So the the community has followed the project at Apache, and has managed
to move to using our new resources there, and new users contributing.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Since the last report, the JIRA issue tracker has been created and
Codehaus JIRA issues have been moved in. We also got a "notifications"
mailing-list created for JIRA notification emails. The Git repository has
also been created and the code was imported in Apache's Git, and mirrored
on Github.
Date of last release:
Not yet released under the Apache incubation umbrella.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
No new election.

I don't care if you call lazy or else. Although some of the proponents of CoC
might get appalled at such a blunt violation of the sacred document ;)
The comment was made about "human activity on the list", not about the "driver
behind automatic notifications on the said list". Would be real nice if the
quality of the reading of the comment was less mediocre ;)
With best regards,

FWIW, those adjectives were describing the quality of the work - not
the person. Mediocre, again, was descriptive of the work/comments,
not the person. I don't think Cos, the person, is lazy, unhelpful, and
he's certainly not mediocre:) Anyway, I didn't mean to make it

Hi Tim,
I found Konstantin's comment to be helpful. Could it have provided
additional details? Sure. But I don't think there's a need to make this
personal. Shepherd comments tend to be quite brief.
We should celebrate volunteer efforts instead of calling others
"unhelpful and lazy."

How exactly the CI bot notifications are "human driven" ?

Human's drive nearly all of that traffic. What is your point?
Honestly, this shepherd comment seems unhelpful and lazy. I'd suggest
it's better to admit that you've run out of time than offer mediocre
shepherd comments.

John,
I am sorry for being a bit late with shepherd'ing Kylin and Blur. I have just
left my comments on the wiki. Reiterating here just in case:
- Kylin: No issues with the project: mail lists are very active.
- Blur: Human activity on Dev list is almost zero: high 90% of the emails are from CI system or JIRA notificaitons.
Thanks
Cos

+1
It would be nice if shepherds and Mentors did this themselves. I don't really
understand what people are thinking when they add comments without signing
their names -- it seems like such important information. But people are
poeple and I guess signing will only happen consistently if we automate it,
for example if we use whimsy to generate the Incubator report.
In the meantime, I clean up the shepherd/mentor comment attributions nearly
every month. This involves cross-checking against the shepherd assignments at
the top of the wiki page, and sometimes even diving into the change history of
the page via the "info" link. :\
Last weekend I had a bigger crunch than usual, and just decided not to make
time for this and other aspects of the report. Thanks very much to John for
handling...
* releases
* new podlings
* graduations
* new IPMC members
* clarification in the CommonsRDF comment section
* sending out the draft
Since I have a moment and the report is not yet marked as "final", I'll go
fix the shepherd comments now.

fwiw, it'd be good that shepherds get in the habit of putting their or
initials in front of their comments, because the section is titled
"mentors/shepherd comments".
Thanks,

It is not clear to me why many people chose to highlight "Ruby
experience" as a prerequisite. Sure, it helps, but if you can
copy/paste code, you should do fine. For example, take a look at the
add-comment and add-minutes files in the following directory:
https://github.com/rubys/whimsy-agenda/tree/master/views/buttons
Self.button defines the button that will show up at the bottom of the
page. btn-primary, data-toggle, and data-target are Bootstrap
concepts.
Self.render defines the modal dialog. If you are familiar with HTML,
you should be able to recognize h4, input, textarea, and button
elements.
componentDidMount and componentWillReceiveProps are part of the React lifecycle.
save and flag are methods associated with onClick handlers associated
with buttons. The body of these methods do HTTP post requests and
process responses.
The code that handles the server logic triggered by POST requests is in:
https://github.com/rubys/whimsy-agenda/tree/master/views/actions
The code comes with a test suite, and can run on Linux, MacOSX,
Vagrant, or Docker.
I do have a lot more to say (for example, there is code in place to
make using Server Side Events as easy as calling Events.post on the
server and Events.subscribe on the client), but if you are interested
in making use of modern web technologies and have at least a passing
knowledge of languages like JavaScript, Perl, Python, or Ruby, please
do consider joining us once the Whimsy PMC is set up.

Thanks to all the IPMC members and podling committers for doing all the
work on writing, reviewing, and posting Incubator reports! The IPMC
reporting has continued to improve in the past few years with each of
our recent IPMC chairs. Nice stuff.
If new folks who have some ruby experience are interested, the Apache
Whimsy pTLP is likely to be created soon, and it would be really sweet
if the Whimsy board report tool had a custom Incubator report section.
Imagine how cool it would be if mentors/shepherds could use the board
director commenting/approving tools in Whimsy wihin the Incubator report...

Here here. Let's hope we get more people contributing to the report going
forward. With all these new members, plenty of room for new shepherds and
report contributors. These things always become a bear, and just so
happens a release date of mine slipped and overlapped with the board
report this time around.

Fair enough. But it's good to have more people contribute and if not everyone
is so disciplined about cutoff dates, that's a small price to pay.
I am encouraged by increasing feedback on the draft report. I would be
further encouraged if more people took it to the next level and fixed the
problems they see!

Depends on the definition of a glitch.
In my case, I tend to err on the side of being conservative in the report.
I use the last day of the month as a cutoff.
Atlas didn't start a vote until May, as a result I wouldn't expect them to
list until June.

The Incubator's report is a community effort. The Chair has editorial
discretion but is not the sole author. Your contributions would be
welcome.
The publication of the Draft report on the Monday before filing is
intended to catch glitches like these. The report is scheduled to be
filed on Wednesday but has not yet been sent this month, so perhaps
the entry will make it in.

Atlas also was voted into incubator and I do not see it in the report.
Thoughts?
