[DRAFT] Daffodil Podling Report - March 2019

Daffodil

Apache Daffodil is an implementation of the Data Format Description
Language (DFDL) used to convert between fixed format data and
XML/JSON.

Daffodil has been incubating since 2017-08-27.

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

  1. Increase community growth and participation
  2. Establish a frequent release schedule
  3. Work with other Apache projects where Daffodil could provide
     extra functionality

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?

  - A user is developing a DFDL/Daffodil class, leading to many good
    discussions on the users@ mailing list
  - Apache PLC4X has developed a DFDL schema and used Daffodil as a
    means to parse Industrial IoT data
  - Continued discussions and investigations to integrate Daffodil
    with Apache NiFi
  - Mike Beckerle gave a talk at a local Meetup in December, leading
    to some discussions on the users@ list
  - Steve Lawrence is scheduled to give a talk at the Apache Roadshow
    in DC, March 25
  - Contributions made from two first time Daffodil contributors

How has the project developed since the last report?

  - 44 commits from 5 different developers
  - 62 issues created, 57 issues resolved

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

  - None, same as project incubation

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive or are things falling
through the cracks? In the latter case, please list any open issues
that need to be addressed.

  - We have one inactive mentor, but the addition of a new mentor
    should help with that
