[DRAFT] Incubator PMC Board Report - June 2017
All,
Below is the present draft of our board report. Four podlings are missing
sign off (CC'd) and it needs some reflowing. I removed 3 non-reporting
podlings.
Remember that you can update the report on the wiki at
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/June2017 (aka don't reply asking me to
make a change :-)
Incubator PMC report for June 2017
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
At the end of May, there were 60 podlings incubating. Podlings executed
six releases this month. The incubator brought in one new podling, and the
board has motions to graduate three podlings from the incubator. One IPMC
member stepped down while two new IPMC members joined.
* Community
New IPMC members:
- Bikas Saha
- Bob Paulin
People who left the IPMC:
- Par Niclas Hedhman
* New Podlings
- Superset
* Podlings that failed to report, expected next month
- MRQL - No on list discussion in past 3 months, limited discussions
prior to that.
- Myriad - Discussing retirement

AriaTosca
ARIA TOSCA project offers an easily consumable Software Development Kit(SDK)
and a Command Line Interface(CLI) to implement TOSCA(Topology and
Orchestration Specification of Cloud Applications) based solutions.
AriaTosca has been incubating since 2016-08-27.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow the community and enroll new committers.
2. Have frequent Release cycles to be compliant with the Apache Way.
3. Move the website to apache.org
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The project is ready for its first release as far as the code is
concerned; We're working on updating the README and ensuring compatibility
with ASF's regulations regarding creating releases.
On the latter issue, we've come across a few possible problems, that are
being discussed on the project's mailing list.
For more information, see the threads "ARIA dependencies License issues"
and "A few questions about creating a release" on the mailing list archive.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* All project communication takes now place on either the mailing list or
ASF's Slack, and is open for everybody.
* Increased chatter on the mailing list including new subscribers who ask
questions, make suggestions and are likely to become contributors
themselves in the near future.
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. ARIA now has a CLI, making it usable as a stand alone tool as well as a
library.
2. Usage examples have been added
3. End-to-End tests now run on a daily basis (as well as on CIs for every
commit)
4. 93 JIRA issues have been resolved since the last report
How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Little has changed since these emails [1][2]. This pull request has

Joshua
Joshua is a statistical machine translation toolkit
Joshua has been incubating since 2016-02-13.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Release Apache Joshua incubating 6.1 (rc4) and then begin development
on 7.X branch.
2. Identifying specific use cases that we might excel at.
3. Attracting active developers and users.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
There is currently an ongoing VOTE thread over on general@incubator
regarding
the proposed release of Apache Joshua incubating 6.1 (rc4). If this goes
through
it will be a significant achievement for the podling.
How has the community developed since the last report?
There are ongoing discussion threads on user@ regarding integration
of Joshua with Mailman. There are no new community members. Some members
of the Joshua PPMC became Apache members post this years annual meeting.
Henry Yandell is now emeritus mentor.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The community has been iterating on Apache Joshua incubating 6.1 RC's
as well as refining the release process. We have pretty much addressed
all concerns now so subsequent releases should be easier.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

this podling. While activity is still low it has definitely picked up with
several JIRAs being filed and fixed and user queries appearing on the

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
- Travis is still taking much longer under the Apache org. within GitHub
then
it did under the previous openwhisk.org and experiencing build
time-outs.

Getting the first release out this quarter was a big milestone
for the project. Their next challenge is to build a community
outside of Madison. They are giving papers and talks at
academic conferences but I have been encouraging them to find
ways to connect with industry and the open source community.

SAMOA
SAMOA provides a collection of distributed streaming algorithms for the
most common data mining and machine learning tasks such as classification,
clustering, and regression, as well as programming abstractions to develop
new algorithms that run on top of distributed stream processing engines
(DSPEs). It features a pluggable architecture
that allows it to run on several DSPEs such as Apache Flink, Apache Storm,
Apache Apex and Apache Samza.
SAMOA has been incubating since 2014-12-15.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow the developer base
2. Grow the user base
3. Add some more ML techniques
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware

None
How has the community developed since the last report?
Mailing list activity (March 2017 - May 2017):
* @dev: 38 messages
Jira issues backlog (March 2017 - May 2017):
* Created: 6
* Resolved: 1
- We organized a 2-day internal workshop on SAMOA at Telefonica I+D with
researchers of Orange Labs, Telecom Paris and QCRI. Various have been
discussed to improve SAMOA's ML and other interfaces with systems like
Kafka, etc.
- We submitted a proposal for funding which will help the development of
new features on Samoa.
- We have been working on a new release 0.5.0, probably coming up in one
month. This release will have support for Kafka, a more well-rounded
support for Avro and Json formats, as well as support to store predictions
outputted from the model.
- There was also significant work done to integrate correctly the
instances between MOA and SAMOA, as there was a deviation of how they were
defined and hindered the portability of new methods from MOA to SAMOA.
- Early discussions to increase the committers / developers team by
inviting new contributors to the panel.
How has the project developed since the last report?
- We are looking into new ML techniques for development.
- Worked on the integration of Samoa-MOA instances
- Engaging interactions with new parties (Orange Labs) and potential
collaborations

Slider
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. Apache Slider community/PPMC has voted to move portions of Slider into
Apache Hadoop YARN as modules. It is possible that the remaining pieces
will be moved at a later point in time or become obsolete or evolve to
work closely with YARN. Slider PPMC will decide what makes the most
sense as we progress through this exciting time.
2. Getting more external users
3. Growth of a diverse set of developers/committers/PMC members is also
crucial towards the final state of Slider
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?
Mailing list activity has been lower due to the bulk of the development
moving to an Apache Hadoop branch. Questions on usage and issues
encountered by end users keep coming at regular intervals, keeping the DL
fairly active.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Work continues in parallel on the Apache Hadoop yarn-native-services
branch and on the Slider podling. The bulk of the work has been in
yarn-native-services, while a few Slider patches (related to critical
issues or agent-only issues) have been committed as well.

Spot
Apache Spot is a solution stack that provides the capability to ingest IT
related telemetry (network flows, domain name service DNS, and proxy server
logs) and provide unsupervised machine learning capabilities to identify
suspicious activity. The information is organized and presented using
operational analytics so that a security analyst can investigate the most
suspicious connections. Apache Spot is built on an open data model using
Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop.
Spot has been incubating since 2016-09-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Move infrastructure and development to ASF (code, issues, mailing
list, ...)
2. Build diverse community
3. Demonstrate ability to create releases
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
Two out of the four mentors are the ones showing the most active
participation and involvement on the project so we need to discuss with
IPMC our options to get the other two replaced.
How has the community developed since the last report?
By remaking the Community section on the Project webpage and driving users
on Slack to limit the usage of the same tool just for quick interactions,
the traffic over Mail Lists has increased, we still need to continue
driving usage questions to USER list.
A group of Developers from Brazil is coming with a proposal for UX and UI,
based on the merits of the proposal, and the potential that the same has we
have invited them to become Committers on the projects.
The initial purpose of the Project on Network & Security needs to expand
the scope to IT Analytics to cover other uses cases and/or enrich content
with User and Endpoint data. While a normalization framework has been
drafted to what we call Open Data Model we still need more work and
contributions on technical delivery to make it a reality.
Contributions to improve the concept of Ingestion Pipeline & Data Lake are
delivered with more cadence, there is a recognition from Community to
normalize data to open the space for other sources of Ingestion
How has the project developed since the last report?
The team has created the epic on ASF JIRA towards the first Apache release,
we’re working now including the user stories that will be part of release,
and doing checks to what can be delivered before we do the the formal
announcement on DEV for the code freeze.
Integrations for context enrichment are critical, however also the need of
bringing a plugin manager where does can be handled, the Spec was drafted,
and the team now is finalizing the last Pull requests to begin merging
functionality onto project code.
Documentation is an area of focus so from May to July committers we’ll
continue improving & detailing more, architecture definitions, deployment
options, and UI usage sections. As the whole delivery is concluded we’ll
vote for a FAQ section which can be a point of reference for common
issues/situations.
Being part of ASF is important Community requests that project enables
integration/consumption of other Apache projects, one of our DEVOPS
committers, for that reason having an API framework now will open the door
for more smooth integrations.

How does the podling rate their own maturity?
By know we’re almost ready to do our first Apache Release which is good,
but we still need to mature Community, the ramping of other Contributors
has been slow, we have a strong base of Consumer positive aspect as it
probed consumption, however more Commits from other interested parties will
accelerate functionality delivery.

Wave continues as a very small scale project. It hovers just under
the threshold of sufficient
participation for graduation, whilst is too active to argue for
retirement.

All,
Below is the present draft of our board report. Four podlings are missing
sign off (CC'd) and it needs some reflowing. I removed 3 non-reporting
podlings.
Remember that you can update the report on the wiki at
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/June2017 (aka don't reply asking me to
make a change :-)
Incubator PMC report for June 2017
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
At the end of May, there were 60 podlings incubating. Podlings executed
six releases this month. The incubator brought in one new podling, and the
board has motions to graduate three podlings from the incubator. One IPMC
member stepped down while two new IPMC members joined.
* Community
New IPMC members:
- Bikas Saha
- Bob Paulin
People who left the IPMC:
- Par Niclas Hedhman
* New Podlings
- Superset
* Podlings that failed to report, expected next month
- MRQL - No on list discussion in past 3 months, limited discussions
prior to that.
- Myriad - Discussing retirement

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow the community and enroll new committers.
2. Have frequent Release cycles to be compliant with the Apache Way.
3. Move the website to apache.org
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The project is ready for its first release as far as the code is
concerned; We're working on updating the README and ensuring compatibility
with ASF's regulations regarding creating releases.
On the latter issue, we've come across a few possible problems, that are
being discussed on the project's mailing list.
For more information, see the threads "ARIA dependencies License issues"
and "A few questions about creating a release" on the mailing list archive.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* All project communication takes now place on either the mailing list or
ASF's Slack, and is open for everybody.
* Increased chatter on the mailing list including new subscribers who ask
questions, make suggestions and are likely to become contributors
themselves in the near future.
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. ARIA now has a CLI, making it usable as a stand alone tool as well as a
library.
2. Usage examples have been added
3. End-to-End tests now run on a daily basis (as well as on CIs for every
commit)
4. 93 JIRA issues have been resolved since the last report

as they seem unable to keep discussion on list, develop in the open or make

Little has changed since these emails [1][2]. This pull request has
been outstanding since February. [3] On the plus side a talk at ApacheCon

Joshua
Joshua is a statistical machine translation toolkit
Joshua has been incubating since 2016-02-13.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Release Apache Joshua incubating 6.1 (rc4) and then begin development
on 7.X branch.
2. Identifying specific use cases that we might excel at.
3. Attracting active developers and users.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
There is currently an ongoing VOTE thread over on general@incubator
regarding
the proposed release of Apache Joshua incubating 6.1 (rc4). If this goes
through
it will be a significant achievement for the podling.
How has the community developed since the last report?
There are ongoing discussion threads on user@ regarding integration
of Joshua with Mailman. There are no new community members. Some members
of the Joshua PPMC became Apache members post this years annual meeting.
Henry Yandell is now emeritus mentor.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The community has been iterating on Apache Joshua incubating 6.1 RC's
as well as refining the release process. We have pretty much addressed
all concerns now so subsequent releases should be easier.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Omid
Omid is a flexible, reliable, high performant and scalable ACID
transactional
framework that allows client applications to execute transactions on top of
MVCC key/value-based NoSQL datastores (currently Apache HBase) providing
Snapshot Isolation guarantees on the accessed data.
Omid has been incubating since 2016-03-28.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Boost project dissemination in the Apache community.
2. Collaborate/integrate Omid with other Apache projects.
3. Get positive feedback from other projects currently

Comments: In the past I have made comments on the lack of activity on
this podling. While activity is still low it has definitely picked up with
several JIRAs being filed and fixed and user queries appearing on the
mailing list and being answered. It's good to see this pickup in activity.

to execute application logic (Actions) in response to events (Triggers) from
external sources (Feeds) or HTTP requests governed by conditional logic
(Rules). It provides a programming environment supported by a REST API-based
Command Line Interface (CLI) along with tooling to support packaging and
catalog services.
OpenWhisk has been incubating since 2016-11-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Moving last remaining (project website) github repo. :
i.e., https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk.github.io
under the Apache Github org.
i.e. http://openwhisk.incubator.apache.org/
and automatic Jenkins build to compile the static website
(using current Jekyll) build and automate publishing
to our incubator site. looking at using the “GitPubSub” tool:
https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/git_based_websites_available
2. Complete updating all source files with approved ASF header (incl. JS)

SAMOA
SAMOA provides a collection of distributed streaming algorithms for the
most common data mining and machine learning tasks such as classification,
clustering, and regression, as well as programming abstractions to develop
new algorithms that run on top of distributed stream processing engines
(DSPEs). It features a pluggable architecture
that allows it to run on several DSPEs such as Apache Flink, Apache Storm,
Apache Apex and Apache Samza.
SAMOA has been incubating since 2014-12-15.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow the developer base
2. Grow the user base
3. Add some more ML techniques
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware

None
How has the community developed since the last report?
Mailing list activity (March 2017 - May 2017):
* @dev: 38 messages
Jira issues backlog (March 2017 - May 2017):
* Created: 6
* Resolved: 1
- We organized a 2-day internal workshop on SAMOA at Telefonica I+D with
researchers of Orange Labs, Telecom Paris and QCRI. Various have been
discussed to improve SAMOA's ML and other interfaces with systems like
Kafka, etc.
- We submitted a proposal for funding which will help the development of
new features on Samoa.
- We have been working on a new release 0.5.0, probably coming up in one
month. This release will have support for Kafka, a more well-rounded
support for Avro and Json formats, as well as support to store predictions
outputted from the model.
- There was also significant work done to integrate correctly the
instances between MOA and SAMOA, as there was a deviation of how they were
defined and hindered the portability of new methods from MOA to SAMOA.
- Early discussions to increase the committers / developers team by
inviting new contributors to the panel.
How has the project developed since the last report?
- We are looking into new ML techniques for development.
- Worked on the integration of Samoa-MOA instances
- Engaging interactions with new parties (Orange Labs) and potential
collaborations

Slider
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. Apache Slider community/PPMC has voted to move portions of Slider into
Apache Hadoop YARN as modules. It is possible that the remaining pieces
will be moved at a later point in time or become obsolete or evolve to
work closely with YARN. Slider PPMC will decide what makes the most
sense as we progress through this exciting time.
2. Getting more external users
3. Growth of a diverse set of developers/committers/PMC members is also
crucial towards the final state of Slider
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?
Mailing list activity has been lower due to the bulk of the development
moving to an Apache Hadoop branch. Questions on usage and issues
encountered by end users keep coming at regular intervals, keeping the DL
fairly active.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Work continues in parallel on the Apache Hadoop yarn-native-services
branch and on the Slider podling. The bulk of the work has been in
yarn-native-services, while a few Slider patches (related to critical
issues or agent-only issues) have been committed as well.

Spot
Apache Spot is a solution stack that provides the capability to ingest IT
related telemetry (network flows, domain name service DNS, and proxy server
logs) and provide unsupervised machine learning capabilities to identify
suspicious activity. The information is organized and presented using
operational analytics so that a security analyst can investigate the most
suspicious connections. Apache Spot is built on an open data model using
Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop.
Spot has been incubating since 2016-09-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Move infrastructure and development to ASF (code, issues, mailing
list, ...)
2. Build diverse community
3. Demonstrate ability to create releases
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
Two out of the four mentors are the ones showing the most active
participation and involvement on the project so we need to discuss with
IPMC our options to get the other two replaced.
How has the community developed since the last report?
By remaking the Community section on the Project webpage and driving users
on Slack to limit the usage of the same tool just for quick interactions,
the traffic over Mail Lists has increased, we still need to continue
driving usage questions to USER list.
A group of Developers from Brazil is coming with a proposal for UX and UI,
based on the merits of the proposal, and the potential that the same has we
have invited them to become Committers on the projects.
The initial purpose of the Project on Network & Security needs to expand
the scope to IT Analytics to cover other uses cases and/or enrich content
with User and Endpoint data. While a normalization framework has been
drafted to what we call Open Data Model we still need more work and
contributions on technical delivery to make it a reality.
Contributions to improve the concept of Ingestion Pipeline & Data Lake are
delivered with more cadence, there is a recognition from Community to
normalize data to open the space for other sources of Ingestion
How has the project developed since the last report?
The team has created the epic on ASF JIRA towards the first Apache release,
we’re working now including the user stories that will be part of release,
and doing checks to what can be delivered before we do the the formal
announcement on DEV for the code freeze.
Integrations for context enrichment are critical, however also the need of
bringing a plugin manager where does can be handled, the Spec was drafted,
and the team now is finalizing the last Pull requests to begin merging
functionality onto project code.
Documentation is an area of focus so from May to July committers we’ll
continue improving & detailing more, architecture definitions, deployment
options, and UI usage sections. As the whole delivery is concluded we’ll
vote for a FAQ section which can be a point of reference for common
issues/situations.
Being part of ASF is important Community requests that project enables
integration/consumption of other Apache projects, one of our DEVOPS
committers, for that reason having an API framework now will open the door
for more smooth integrations.

How does the podling rate their own maturity?
By know we’re almost ready to do our first Apache Release which is good,
but we still need to mature Community, the ramping of other Contributors
has been slow, we have a strong base of Consumer positive aspect as it
probed consumption, however more Commits from other interested parties will
accelerate functionality delivery.

Streams
Apache Streams (incubating) unifies a diverse world of digital profiles and
online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes these
datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and platforms
for
streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases.
Streams has been incubating since 2012-11-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Community growth and PMC maturity.
2. Demonstrate a consistent release schedule.
3. Participation of project community within related standards-bodies and
Apache projects.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
The community has completed an internal assessment using the Apache
Maturity Model to identify gaps that should be addressed before graduation.
The community is working against a task list of graduation TODOs:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/STREAMS/Graduation+TODOs
It is likely that Streams will pursue graduation to TLP during the coming
quarter.

Toree
Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
access Apache Spark.
Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. More discussion and engagement on the dev list
2. Community growth
3. Continue to make releases
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
* No issues require attention at this time.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* Toree's 0.1.0-incubating release is a good step forward. The first Apache
release is the most difficult, so clearing that hurdle should make further
releases easier.
* The community has also added a new PPMC member and mentor.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Apache Toree 0.1.0-incubating release on 2017-02-21
* Apache Toree website updated

Wave continues as a very small scale project. It hovers just under
the threshold of sufficient
participation for graduation, whilst is too active to argue for
retirement.

>> Two out of the four mentors are the ones showing the most active

>>
>> How has the community developed since the last report?
>> By remaking the Community section on the Project webpage and driving users
>> on Slack to limit the usage of the same tool just for quick interactions,
>> the traffic over Mail Lists has increased, we still need to continue
>> driving usage questions to USER list.
>> A group of Developers from Brazil is coming with a proposal for UX and UI,

>> we
>> have invited them to become Committers on the projects.
>> The initial purpose of the Project on Network & Security needs to expand
>> the scope to IT Analytics to cover other uses cases and/or enrich content
>> with User and Endpoint data. While a normalization framework has been
>> drafted to what we call Open Data Model we still need more work and
>> contributions on technical delivery to make it a reality.
>> Contributions to improve the concept of Ingestion Pipeline & Data Lake are
>> delivered with more cadence, there is a recognition from Community to
>> normalize data to open the space for other sources of Ingestion
>>
>> How has the project developed since the last report?
>> The team has created the epic on ASF JIRA towards the first Apache
>> release,
>> we’re working now including the user stories that will be part of release,
>> and doing checks to what can be delivered before we do the the formal
>> announcement on DEV for the code freeze.
>> Integrations for context enrichment are critical, however also the need of
>> bringing a plugin manager where does can be handled, the Spec was drafted,
>> and the team now is finalizing the last Pull requests to begin merging
>> functionality onto project code.
>> Documentation is an area of focus so from May to July committers we’ll
>> continue improving & detailing more, architecture definitions, deployment
>> options, and UI usage sections. As the whole delivery is concluded we’ll
>> vote for a FAQ section which can be a point of reference for common

> By remaking the Community section on the Project webpage and driving users

> A group of Developers from Brazil is coming with a proposal for UX and UI,

> The initial purpose of the Project on Network & Security needs to expand
> the scope to IT Analytics to cover other uses cases and/or enrich content
> with User and Endpoint data. While a normalization framework has been
> drafted to what we call Open Data Model we still need more work and

> Contributions to improve the concept of Ingestion Pipeline & Data Lake are

> How has the project developed since the last report?

> Integrations for context enrichment are critical, however also the need of

> Documentation is an area of focus so from May to July committers we’ll
> continue improving & detailing more, architecture definitions, deployment
