[REPORT] Apache Stanbol - May 2017
Hi Stanbolers,
I submitted the following report to the board:
------------
Status report for the Apache Stanbol Project - May, 2017
Apache Stanbol provides a set of reusable components for semantic content
management.
We started a discussion about who is using Stanbol and encouraged the
people who actively use (and depend) on Stanbol to contribute and
become part of the developer community.
Unfortunately, the technological barrier is rather high and people
are a little bit overwhelmed with the large code base and the
number of OSGi bundles. So people need time to get familiar
with that.
This may be one reason why not much happened since then. No new
contributions from people outside the PMC were made. The PMC
itself has only one active (code) contributer over the last
months.
The PMC is aware of the situation but at the moment the lack
of time and availability of persons make it very difficult
to change something fundamentally.
Subscribers on the dev list: 231
Last new committer was
Cristian Petroaca on May 7th, 2015
Last new PMC member were
Cristian Petroaca on July 28th, 2016
Rafa Haro on July 28th, 2016
Last stack release was:
Apache Stanbol 1.0.0 on Oct 23rd, 2016
Last component release was:
Apache Stanbol Partial Security Release RC2 on June 5th, 2014
org.apache.stanbol.commons.security.reactor-20140602

Thx Fabian for writing this Report.
While I do not like to read this, it is a very good summary of the situation.
The reason I provided no input for this report was that I actually had
nothing to report. OK I am answering some questions and had also a
discussion with Rafa, but I their where no contributions to the code
base.

Hello!
Although I am not an active member, I have experience with (early) Stanbol
releases and I can always provide support if needed.
Best regards,

Hi all,
If their is a release or a critical Issue to resolve I am fully
available. We at Redlink are still using Stanbol in production
environments so most likely we will also be affected by such issues.
My concerns where more related with further development and new
features as (1) I have a lot of other assignments and (2) our common
development platform is Spring (Boot) and not OSGI.

Hi,
I think we have these three PMC members (at least). Correct me, if I
am wrong but I would count
- Rupert
- Rafa
- Myself (Fabian)
to be at least able to cut releases and respond to security issues if needed.
So, I would add that to the report. Any comments?
Best
Fabian

The board will ask whether Stanbol has 3 active PMC members who can
become active if needed, for example to handle security reports and
make the corresponding releases.
If you can find out before the board meeting it would be good to add
that info to the report.
In general having somewhat inactive projects is not a real problem, as
long as there are 3 active PMC members, so it's good to include that
info.
Ciao,
-Bertrand
