Re: February 2016 Report

[Billie Rinaldi <bi...@gmail.com>]

We're a day late, but could still submit this.  Any suggestions on my draft
below?

Slider is a collection of tools and technologies to package, deploy, and
manage long running applications on Apache Hadoop YARN clusters.

Slider has been incubating since 2014-04-29.

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

  1. Getting more external users
  2. Getting more diverse set of developers
  3. Getting more diverse set of committers/PMC

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

  No

How has the community developed since the last report?

  We completed the IP clearance for the contribution of a Kafka app
  package for Slider, KOYA.  We have a few patches that have been
  submitted by contributors and still need to be reviewed.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  We released slider-0.90.2-incubating (the first in the 0.90 line), a
  preview/alpha release containing a major new feature, anti-affinity
  placement.  Also, we have reworked our release process and are
  planning our next release for around March 1.

Date of last release:

  2016-01-09 slider-0.90.2-incubating

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

  2015-07-07: Yu (Thomas) Liu
