Draft Report October 2015 - please review
Incubator PMC report for October 2015
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
There are 44 podlings currently undergoing incubation.
* Community
New IPMC members:
- Josh Elser
- Sterling Hughes
* New Podlings
- MADlib
- Rya
- Unomi
* Graduations
The board has motions for the following:
- Calcite
* Releases
The following releases were made since the last Incubator report:
- 2015-09-06 Apache Kylin 1.0-incubating
- 2015-09-14 Apache Brooklyn 0.8.0-incubating
- 2015-09-14 Apache HTrace-4.0.0-incubating
- 2015-09-15 Apache TinkerPop 3.0.1-incubating
- 2015-09-16 Apache Groovy 2.4.5-incubating
- 2015-09-21 Apache Sentry-1.6.0-incubating
- 2015-09-22 Apache AsterixDB Hyracks 0.2.16-incubating
* IP Clearance
- Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp donated POI Visio, an extension module for
Apache POI. It adds support for the Microsoft Visio .vsdx xml-based file
format. (Current Apache POI Visio support only handled the older binary
.vsd format). Post-import, the component will be known as XDGF.
* Infrastructure
- It seems that an incorrect date in the Board meeting calendar caused the
report reminders to fire a week early, requiring manual cleanup after the
correct date was established. There was discussion of migrating the
reminders and other Incubator bookkeeping to Whimsy.
* Miscellaneous
- At the height of Corinthia's crisis, several committers resigned. The
mailing lists have since gone silent. Some IPMC members followed up but
those efforts do not appear to have been successful.
- A vote to retire the Droids podling is pending.
- Various proposals to change the Incubator have been discussed on
general@incubator. The one generating the most responses, mostly in
opposition, is a proposal which would lessen the role of Mentors with
business affiliations to podlings during Incubator entry and exit votes.
None of the other proposals have gotten any traction.
- A proposal regarding the Incubator formulated during ApacheCon EU was
discussed on board@apache.

Apex
Apex is an enterprise grade native YARN big data-in-motion platform that
unifies stream processing as well as batch processing.
Apex has been incubating since 2015-08-17.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Release Apex-Core, and Apex-Malhar at least twice.
2. Grow contributors beyond the initial set.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
None. Thanks for continual support.
How has the community developed since the last report?
The community is very engaged with the development of the project. There
have been 485 messages on dev@.
The community voted and selected the APEX logo which is put on the brand
new project website at http://apex.incubator.apache.org/
How has the project developed since the last report?
Various metrics are as follows:
+---------------------------------------------------+
| Metric | Core | Malhar |
+---------------------------------------------------+
| Non Merge Commits | 88 | 33 |
| Contributors | 17 | 9 |
| Jira Issues | 94 | 30 |

FreeMarker
FreeMarker is a template engine, i.e. a generic tool to generate text output
based on templates. FreeMarker is implemented in Java as a class library for
programmers.
FreeMarker has been incubating since 2015-07-01.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Finding contributors
2. Do the first release from ASF
3. Further infrastructure migrations (move issues to Jira, web site)
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?
There's no significant change since the last month.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The IP clearance process is now complete given that:
1) Software License Agreements have been collected (and have been filed by
the ASF Secretary) for the former copyright owners that are no more
active and involved in the project.
2) Contributor License Agreements have been collected (and have been filed
by the ASF Secretary) for the main contributors of the project, that are
now committers of the incubating project
3) Notices in the project mailing lists and website have been published to
announce that the project is now incubating at ASF and to invite
potential contributors to participate in the new home
4) License headers have been updated to reflect the new copyright
Git repositories were migrated to ASF, and development now goes at ASF.
GitHub integration was configured so that we can receive pull requests.
Mailing lists were officially moved over to ASF
Jira was created and marked as the official issue tracker, though old
issues weren't yet migrated.
Date of last release:
There was no release from the Incubator yet
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
We only have the initial committers and initial PMC members yet.

Geode
Geode is a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent
access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed butt
architectures.
Geode has been incubating since 2015-04-27.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Have our first Apache (incubating) release (currently blocked on us
solving JGroups licensing issues) GEODE-77.
2. Expanding the community to include contributors and committers outside
of Pivotal.
3. Execute and manage the project according to governance model required by
the "Apache Way"
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
None

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
--------------------
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 2015-03-17.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
No issues left before graduating.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
No particular issue, but our mentors suggested we think about graduating.
We still have to launch the vote, but the consensus is positive already.
How has the community developed since the last report?
I've started collecting the number of subscribers on the users and dev
lists starting last July (numbers from early July till end of September).
Groovy users have been continuing to subscribe to our mailing-lists on a
regular basis.
Early end of end of end of
July July August September
Users: 249 259 273 274
Dev: 152 156 163 164
The download numbers, which are also an interesting indicator to see how
much a project is used, are still on an upward trend.
Here are the figures totaling downloads from both Maven Central and Bintray
since the Groovy project entered the incubator (full numbers from September
not yet available):
March April May June July August
643k 759k 877k 1.15M 1.29M 1.34M
The download numbers doubled since Groovy entered the incubator.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Since the last report 3 months ago, we managed to make two releases.
1. Groovy 2.4.4 on July 9th, patching an important security issue,
but the release wasn't yet compliant with all the good practices
in terms of licenses & copyright information
2. Groovy 2.4.5 on September 17th, we fixed all the problems of the
previous release, and we took the opportunity to do a "release party"
during the SpringOne2GX conference in Washington, DC, to spread the
knowledge of the new release process across the team, as well as with
our partners from JFrog.
Date of last release:
2015-09-17: Groovy 2.4.5
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
We've welcomed a new committer to the project: Keegan Witt. Keegan is also
known in our community for his work with the Maven integration for Groovy
(the GMavenPlus project)

--------------------
HAWQ
HAWQ is an advanced enterprise SQL on Hadoop analytic engine built around a
robust and high-performance massively-parallel processing (MPP) SQL framework
evolved from Pivotal Greenplum Database.
HAWQ has been incubating since 2015-09-04.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Produce our first Apache Release
2. Finalize infrastructure Migration and ICLAs from committers
3. Expand the community, increase dev list activity and adding new
committers/pmc members
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
We have only just started the incubation, everything seems to be starting
up, nothing urgent at this time.
How has the community developed since the last report?
This is our first report, after having been approved for incubation roughly
2 wks ago.
1. Most of the core contributors have completed their ICLA's and have
established apache ids.
2. Several presentations and meetups at ApacheCon EU and Strata aimed at
growing interest in the project
3. Formal announcements from Pivotal and press briefings related to the
move of the project into Apache aimed at growing awareness and interest
in the project.
4. Outreach to parties that have expressed interest previously in our open
source initiatives
5. Still very much at the early stages of community development, we're just
starting to get rolling.
How has the project developed since the last report?
This is our first report, after having been approved for incubation roughly
2 wks ago.
1. Initial code drop has been provided to Apache
2. Core infrastructure has been setup including: mailing lists, git, jira,
wiki, website
3. 62 messages on our developer list, 3 messages on our user list
4. 16 jiras filed, 10 open, 1 reopened, 4 resolved, 1 closed - 1 issue
unassigned
5. 7 commits in total, including initial commit
6. Most discussed items on the mailing list:
- addressing issues with getting jira configured to allow issues to be
assigned to users
- discussion of usage of alternate communication channels, e.g. chat.
- discussion of RTC vs CTR models for dev process
Date of last release:
We have not had a release yet.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
Most of the initial list of committers have been onboarded, but there are
still a few more outstanding. We have not yet added any new members on top
of the initial committer list.

MADlib
Big Data Machine Learning in SQL for Data Scientists.
MADlib has been incubating since 2015-09-15.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Produce a first Apache release.
2. Finalize infrastructure migration and ICLAs from committers.
3. Expand the community, increase dev list activity and add new
committers/pmc members.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Just started incubation, nothing specific to report at this time.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We are approximately 2 weeks into the incubation process.
1. So still at early stage.
2. Most of the core contributors have completed their ICLA's and have
established apache ids.
3. Several presentations and meet-ups at ApacheCon EU and Strata NYC to
discuss MADlib move to ASF governance.
4. Formal announcements from Pivotal, press briefings and blogs related
to the move of the project into Apache aimed at growing awareness and
interest in the project. Specialty press have picked up the story and
reported widely.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Early activity:
1. Initial code drop provided to Apache
2. Core infrastructure is in the process of being migrated from existing
infrastructure: mailing lists, git, jira, wiki, website
Date of last release:
No release yet.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
Most of initial list of committers have been on-boarded, some still
outstanding. No new members added on top of the initial committer list.

Myriad
Myriad enables co-existence of Apache Hadoop YARN and Apache Mesos together
on the same cluster and allows dynamic resource allocations across both
Hadoop and other applications running on the same physical data center
infrastructure.
Myriad has been incubating since 2015-03-01.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Determine the best way to take github pull requests or ReviewBoard patch
(chains) and apply/commit them to the Myriad git repo. We're looking at
Mesos' apply-review.sh script, but I wonder if there's something else
out there we should be considering. Is there a way to make github
'Merge' integration just work, even through the mirror?
2. Vote in and onboard new committers. Two are in progress, one from a new
contributing organization.
3. Prepare our first release under Apache. We'll update the code's
copyright/namespace and packaging, but we still need to learn the other
elements of the Apache release process. Is this "DRAFT" still the best
resource? https://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
None beyond the above-mentioned.
How has the community developed since the last report?
- Mailing list traffic has significantly increased from 60-80
messages/month in April-July to 171 in August and 227 in September. Some
of that could be JIRA integration, but we still have 17 unique human
authors now, up from 13 in July.
- Increasing participation in our biweekly community syncs. We now get
around 7-11 participants, up from the 5-8 we were getting in May-July.
See minutes at: http://s.apache.org/8kF
- Wiki: Ruth has done a wonderful job populating and organizing the wiki
from our scattered docs. Now we have 24 wiki pages describing use cases,
architecture, installation/configuration, administration, and the REST
API. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MYRIAD/Myriad+Home
- Website under development, with awesome Myriad logo.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYRIAD-144 preview at
http://klucar.github.io/myriad-site/
- We started a #myriad IRC channel on Freenode, and are in the process of
integrating it with ASFBot.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10485
- Well-attended talk by Mohit and Santosh at MesosCon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU2VE08fOD4
- Swapnil, Sarjeet, and Mitra won 1st place in freestyle category at docker
global hack day for docker based multi-tenant YARN/Myriad clusters.
https://blog.docker.com/2015/09/docker-global-hack-day-3-winners/
How has the project developed since the last report?
- Finally got the SGA from Paypal and migrated our source to Apache git!
Still need to figure how to integrate it into our commit workflow.
- Resolved 14 JIRAs: http://s.apache.org/3dc
- Merged the following PRs (from the old github repo)
* Multi-project build changes (PR#108)
* Improved unit testing (PR#112)
* Myriad Logo update (PR#113)
* Dynamically configurable NM Ports (PR#102)
* Fine-grained scaling (PR#91)
* Upgrade to Hadoop 2.7 (PR#116)
* Complete Myriad HA Implementation (PR#123)
* Run MyriadExecutor as NodeManager AuxService (PR#118,123)
Date of last release:
Santosh will release manage the Myriad 0.1.0 release, our first release
under Apache. We created a 0.1.0 version tag in JIRA, and targeted some
pre-release issues for Apache copyright/namespace changes. We'll try to
merge in some outstanding PRs, but there are no other feature blockers, so
we hope to cut our first release candidate this month.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
- One new committer has been privately nominated and voted in, awaiting
IPMC Board approval. Then he/she still has to accept the invitation.
- Another is in the midst of voting this week.

OpenDocument Format (ISO/IEC 26300 == ODF) documents
Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Rob Weir (robweir):
No report submitted, though I did remind the PPMC. I sense some "report
fatigue" since they missed the July report deadline, submitted then in
time for August, but lacked a mentor sign off, and then submitted again in
September and did get sign off.
Drew Farris (drew):
Kudos to robweir activity as a mentor, however this project could use
another mentor. Generally little traffic or activity.
--------------------
OpenAz
Tools and libraries for developing Attribute-based Access Control (ABAC)
Systems in a variety of languages.
OpenAz has been incubating since 2015-01-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Confirm 1.0.0 as the first release
2. Get website up to attract more attention
3. Vote to confirm if any JIRA's are needed to be closed for 1st release

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
P. Taylor Goetz (ptgoetz):
The OpenAz report is pretty sparse and has not been signed off
by any of the podling's mentors. dev@ mailing list activity is
extremely low (15 messages in the past 3 months). I would recommend
the top priority be for the project to expand the community.
--------------------
Wave
A wave is a hosted, live, concurrent data structure for rich communication.
It can be used like email, chat, or a document.
Wave has been incubating since 2010-12-04.
Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Marvin Humphrey (marvin):
Wave's report was deliberately not signed off by its Mentors. Mentor
Upayavira engaged the Wave community about the possibility of retiring.
The community preferred to continue; a timeline for making an incubating
release was discussed.

The following Mentor notes for ODF Toolkit have been added to the wiki:
Nick Burch (nick):
Project has recently added a committer, which is good, but
otherwise the level
of activity remains too low. I've heard rumours of development happening
in private elsewhere, but unless that effort returns to the project and
activity improves, I think we're going to have to look at admitting defeat
and retiring the podling soon.
ODF Toolkit will remain in "monthly" reporting, so a report is expected next
month. "Report fatigue", while understandable, is not an excuse. The
Board expects all TLPs to turn in meaningful reports that adequately
communicate the state of the community, even when not much is happening.

Upayavira signed off on the Wave report and added the following commentary:
[x](wave) Upayavira
[ ](wave) Christian Grobmeier
Upayavira (upayavira):
As Marvin observed, I'm doubtful that Wave has the momentum to make
any significant change nor to progress towards graduation. The community
will need to meet some targets - the immediate one is to make a release
before the next board report is due.
I had previously deleted the report (which was pretty bare-bones) because it
was not signed off.
I plan to interpret Upayavira's signoff as fulfilling Wave's reporting
requirement for this cycle (even without the podling report text included in
the final) and will remove Wave from "monthly" reporting.

Thanks!
First of all, please check whether you have edit permission on
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/October2015 If not, you can get edit
permission by request. Example is here:
http://markmail.org/message/dfiwmv6rxnbr425o
The report template will be automatically generated on Wiki every month. Then,
we fulfill it.
I can roughly help you. Here's what we did:
* Podling Bootstrap process has been done.
* All PPMC members are in both private@ and dev@ and signed ICLA.
* all required infrastructures e.g., mailing lists, JIRA, Git repo are now
available
and what we doing:
* We're receiving contributions from new contributors Elmulod and Zachary :-)
* Development of project website.
* Initial code import from Apache Hama ML package.
TODO:
* System Architecture and Programming APIs design.
Below is the full report example:

Fwd: Draft Report October 2015 - please review
Posted by "Edward J. Yoon" <ed...@apache.org>.
Hi forks,
Periodically (3 months), we have to report our status to the IPMC.
Since we missed first report, we need to report next month. Who can
take this? Any volunteer is welcome.

A disappointingly large number of podlings did not report this month. It is
probably worth looking into what is up with CMDA, Cotton and Ripple.

I suggest that Myriad developers ask on infrastructure-dev@apache about this.

The releasemanagement.html page is bloated and outdated, but there is no
central resource which has supplanted it.
Efforts are underway to address the state of Apache's policy documentation.

The deadline for Mentor sign-off is Tuesday end of day. If a report has no
sign-off it will be removed from the report.
I really hope that we can get OpenAZ and Myriad signed off.

Re: Draft Report October 2015 - please review
Posted by "John D. Ament" <jo...@apache.org>.
I do see one error, possibly not a big deal. Romain added the BatchEE
podling's report on 10/13, but never updated the other sections to reflect
that the podling did report. Perhaps this was intentional.
FWIW, Romain is not listed as a mentor at
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/batchee.html but could easily become
one. He's already an IPMC member. I'm not sure if we count the report or
not in this case. In addition, the report is a bit sparse.
On a separate topic, I consider BatchEE to be a mature enough podling.
Mature in the sense that continued incubation isn't going to provide the
podling further value, they understand the ASF. Their issues seem more
technical than procedural. It's hard to attract contributors to a JSR
implementation, most people I know cannot distinguish between the
application server and the components that make it up.

Definitely - there was nothing hidden behind my comment, it's just
that it's good to make sure the report is filed in time for the board
meeting (and I'm your shepherd this month, for the board report).

If Ted doesn't get to it, I plan to post it to the Board's agenda just before
the 24 hour deadline.
This month has been extremely busy for the IPMC Chair. During my term as
Chair, the most time consuming, draining part of the job was dealing with the
Board. Ted has certainly earned his money there this month. He has shown
exactly the qualities that earned my support for him as Chair in the first
place, and I'm delighted with the result.
Nevertheless, in the future, I think we should be filing earlier, which means
that we should negotiate a smaller window for whoever occupies the Chair to
exercise their editorial prerogative. It's not cool to make a habit of
dropping late reports on the Board just before the meeting, and our report is
particularly large.
The report has been in a coherent form since Monday of last week, and as of
last Wednesday had been reviewed by the Incubator community for 2 days. There
will be months where the Report Manager does not manage to hold tightly to the
schedule, but in general, I think our expectation should be:
1. The report should ordinarily be filed on time, on the Wednesday one week
before the Board meeting.
2. If the Chair has not filed the report by Saturday, someone else should
file it.
