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:
We have a large user base but a rather small group of committers.
This was actually expected, given the maturity (and topic) of the project.
While the FreeMarker 3 branch, which was started 11 month ago, will be
much
more appealing for contributors, development and growth due to that will
certainly take a long time. In other respects the project is mature and
ready for graduation.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
We are eager to graduate but we're afraid that the number of active
contributors will prevent that in the foreseeable future. But remaining in
the incubator for several years is a growing problem as well, so at this
point we will attempt graduation.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have two new PPMC members, Jacques Le Roux and Woonsan Ko.
How has the project developed since the last report?
There was further discussion about graduation, and we will very soon have
a graduation vote on
the podling list. We have done some preparations, like we have switched
from freemarker.org
to freemarker.apache.org as our official domain, created the DOAP file,
adjusted home page
content to align better with the recommendations.
We have also made a new release (2.3.27-incubating).

Gobblin
Gobblin is a distributed data integration framework that simplifies common
aspects of big data integration such as data ingestion, replication,
organization and lifecycle management for both streaming and batch data
ecosystems.
Gobblin has been incubating since 2017-02-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make frequent releases
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?
* Gobblin has seen an exciting growth on the community front. It has grown
into a diverse self-sustained community, where non-committer members are
often seen helping out each other on mailing lists and Gitter IRC (on most
days more than the committers). Many contributors have also stepped up and
contributed with important features and taken up ownership of critical
components.
* 70% of commits have been from non-committer contributors.
* Email stats since last report:
user@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 92
dev@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 671
* Heavy activity on Gitter IRC channel (while the community uses Gitter
IRC, it also does self policing and consciously moves any discussion-thread
beyond casual chatter to the mailing lists)
* There have been 148 Commits since last report:
git log --format='%ci' | grep -cE
'(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))'
* 103 ie. 70% of those commits were by non-committers:
git log --format='%ae %ci' | grep -E
'(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))' | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq
-c | sort -n
* Recurring video conference based meetup has been happening every month
with healthy attendance.
* Gobblin was presented and well received in various conferences eg. Strata
etc.
* More companies have adopted Gobblin, and different members of PPMC have
received positive feedback and interest.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Several new powerful features have been added to Gobblin that have
enhanced Gobblin to be more valuable in Stream processing as it is in batch
data world.
* Gobblin interestingly has started to evolve into an ecosystem rather than
a singular platform with addition of major sub-systems such as
Gobblin-as-a-Service (PaaS for Gobblin as well as non-Gobblin systems),
Global Throttling (can be used with any distributed system) and existing
Gobblin metrics.
* Documentation and stability has improved across the board.
* Release v0.12.0 is being voted on right now.
* The Apache way has become the normal way of doing things.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Gobblin has made good progress on the Community front and overall as a
project. However, before calling it nearing graduation, we will like to
make atleast couple of releases.

MXNet
Apache MXNet is an open-source, scalable, distributed and high-performance
deep learning framework that allows you to define, train, and deploy deep
neural networks on a wide array of devices, from cloud infrastructure to
mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for fast model training,
and supports a flexible programming model and multiple languages. Apache
MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming flavors to
maximize both efficiency and productivity. Apache MXNet is built on a
dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The Apache MXNet
library is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and
multiple machines.
Apache MXNet has been incubating since 2017-01-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Establish a predictable release process consistent with Apache Way --
ONGOING.
2. Grow the community -- ONGOING.
3. Bring website up to Apache standard -- ONGOING
4. Identify remaining ICLAs or SGAs that need signing -- ONGOING
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) Various Slack channels, dev@ mailing lists, and user discussion forums (
http://discuss.mxnet.io) are being used actively. The contributors have
been working on having all discussions on the public dev@ mailing list as
much as possible. If some discussions happen in private, they are
eventually brought out on dev@ with all perspectives well-represented. This
is an ongoing improvement process where the discussion will be put on the
public dev@ mailing list so that the Apache MXNet community gets a fair
chance in influencing the final outcome/decision of the discussion.
b) O’Reilly published a series of blogs about MXNet, including ones with
deep matrix factorization using Apache MXNet:
https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/sentiment-analysis-with-apache-mxnet
https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/deep-matrix-factorization-using-apache-mxnet

51 authors pushed 115 commits to master, with updates to 489 files
including 13K additions and 9K deletions. Historically, in Sep 2017, 62
authors pushed 171 commits to master, with updates to 467 files including
26K additions and 7K deletions. Historically, in July 2017, 54 authors
pushed 140 commits to master, with updates to 358 files including 22K
additions and 3K deletions.
c. Documentation- Architecture guides, How To’s, Tutorials, and APIs
continue to be improved.
d. Support for Perl language bindings - contributed by Sergey Kolychev.
e. More advanced features (e.g. sparse tensor, advanced indexing, gradient
compression) and bug-fixes requested by the user community continue to be
added.
f. Community took complete end-to-end ownership of the continuous
integration process in order to enable reliable testing on a wide set of
back ends (IoT devices to GPU clusters).
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Podling is still being established in Apache - hence maturity == Low.

NetBeans
NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform and application
framework.
NetBeans has been incubating since 2016-10-01.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Donating remaining NetBeans code from Oracle to Apache.
2. Moving netbeans.org to Apache.
3. Voting in new committers.
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?
- Voting process for new committers has been documented for the first
time, with mentors:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Becoming+a+committer
- The start has been made in voting on new committers, though because the
process wasn't clear, we stopped and put together the document above before
continuing.
- All NetBeans.org mailing lists have been contacted and everyone has
been encouraged to move to Apache NetBeans mailing lists.
- NetBeans.org mailing lists scheduled to be deleted (they're backed up
on MarkMail) in the first week of 2018.
- A new Apache NetBeans announce mailing list has been created for those
who want high level occasional announcements only, not day to day NetBeans
e-mails.
- GitHub commits and notifications are now sent to new dedicated mailing
lists to reduce the noise in the Apache NetBeans dev mailing list.
- Standard footers have been added to mails with info about how to
unsubscribe and where to get all the mailing list info (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists).
- Currently over 550 on Apache NetBeans users mailing list and over 350
on Apache NetBeans dev mailing lists
- Continual activity on mailing lists, new pull requests coming in and
being integrated, i.e., continually active community.
- Status report done live with several Apache NetBeans community members,
plus one Apache NetBeans mentor, at Devoxx Belgium December 2017:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkfX-W0tgNo
How has the project developed since the last report?
- Audit of 2nd code donation from Oracle is complete and is being
processed for donation, see end of this page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+Transition
- Alpha of Apache NetBeans (incubating) has been released:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Alpha
- Beta of Apache NetBeans (incubating) is nearing completion and ready
for vote threads:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Beta
- A special aspect of Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 Beta is the
ability for the user to need to specify whether they want to use the GPL-ed
nb-javac (which is an Apache requirement, i.e., the user needs to take the
onus of using binaries that are not compliant with Apache licensing
requirements) or javac directly from JDK 9 (which thus complies with Apache
licenses, though has less solid integration with NetBeans):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Java+Editor+Using+JDK+javac
- see also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-279
- Plan was to work on Beta release during last week of the year, but
holiday season got in the way.
- Repo created for cleaning up netbeans.org website, with content and
instructions included:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans-website-cleanup
- New Apache NetBeans wiki-export tool has been added to
apache-netbeans-incubator-tools:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans-tools

PLC4X
PLC4X is a set of libraries for communicating with industrial programmable
logic controllers (PLCs) using a variety of protocols but with a shared API.
PLC4X has been incubating since 2017-12-18.
Most important issues to address while moving towards graduation:
* Building the community: The PPMC and committer group has a large
percentage of codecentric employees, we have been recruiting people from
other companies, but will have to continue these efforts for establishing a
healthy Apache community.
* Onboarding of new committers: With PLC4X several people on the team
are not very familiar with the Apache Way. We have started and will
continue our efforts on this onboarding.
* Podling name search: We have invested a lot of time on the name
search prior to starting to work on the project, but we still need the
official OK that we’re allowed to keep the Name of Apache PLC4X.
* Make our first release
Any Issues the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of:
* In order to get access to some of the specifications the ASF will
eventually have to become Members of some external foundations: OPC,
EtherCat, Modbus … these memberships usually have a free level, that allows
us to use the specifications but doesn’t result in any regular costs. We
will have to discuss these details with the ASF and the other foundations.
* One of the external foundations (Profinet) doesn’t have a free
membership. In general, the CEO of the European branch of the Profinet
Foundation has signaled that it should be possible for the ASF to become a
member and have an outside company pay the membership fees, but we have to
discuss the details (With them as well as the ASF).
How has the community developed since the last report?
* We have been accepted into the Apache Incubator just a week before
Christmas, we are still in the process of setting up
* Prior to joining the Apache Incubator however, we have managed to
recruit people from other Apache projects and are working on getting other
people familiar with the protocols and the industry involved. After the
Christmas break we are planning on contacting a big group of people that
have claimed to be wanting to be involved (A list of about 20 Companies,
but we can’t tell how many will be using and how many would also be willing
to contribute)
* We have started the onboarding of new committers and will be
continuing to do this (extended emails with a lot of explanations on why we
are doing things the way we are)
* Project has bootstrapped quickly and we have mailing lists, website,
JIRA etc. all set up and running.
* Testing coverage has been improved over the initial code base
How has the project developed since the last report?
* There was no last report.
How does the podling rate their own maturity?
* We have a mix of new participants and experienced Apache people
involved.
* So far, the new participants have shown great willingness and success
in adopting the Apache Way.
* However, we still need to continue:
* the on-boarding
* increasing the diversity of the team
* Also, will we need to decide and establish all the processes involved
in releasing software at Apache

Traffic Control has been incubating since 2016-07-12.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Enhance automation to make it easier to build, install, and configure
each component.
2. Improve documentation to ease ramp-up time for new community members and
make it easier for existing community members to find what they are looking
for.
3. Complete at least two releases without license issues.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be

None.
How has the community developed since the last report (October 2017)?
We held a fall summit in October in Atlanta. This summit was attended by
over 20 participants from 5 different companies. The discussions were
great and we made sure to take any discussion that could potentially affect
the community to the mailing lists.
We cleaned up our mentors a bit by removing a few mentors who have asked to
be removed and/or have not contributed at all.
We have seen a few new users join our community, and our community has done
a good job of helping the new users get Traffic Control up and running.
The community has been working hard to get a new release out, which will be
Traffic Control 2.1.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Since the last report (October 2017), we have
* Merged 218 Pull Requests with 392 commits from 34 contributors
* Opened 135 Github issues
* Closed 70 Github issues
* 233 emails sent by 36 people on the dev@ list
* 25 emails sent by 12 people on the users@ list
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.
We have started discussions about graduation and we all agree that we
should try to focus on graduating in 2018. As we see it, the biggest
hurdles we still face are:
1) Getting releases through the incubator without licensing issues - we
would like to be able to get at least two releases through without
licensing issues.
2) Removing dependencies with incompatible licenses; specifically
JSON.org and jdnssec (
https://github.com/dblacka/jdnssec-tools/blob/master/licenses/java-dnssec-tools-LICENSE.txt)
- our plan is to have these two mitigated by the end of Q1 2018.

Weex
Weex is a framework for building Mobile cross-platform high performance UI.
Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Develop more non-Chinese contributors and committers, to bring
diversity to the community.
2. Replace Facebook's Yoga(Category X) dependency and release more while
in Incubator.
3. Improve the developer's activity in mailing list, more "bad ideas".
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The community is still learning the Apache Way, we are making progress and
need more guidance from Mentors.
An additional active Mentor would be good.
How has the community developed since the last report?
• We voted one new committer: wentao shi
• We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev mailing
list. There is an obvious growth. 186(110 new issues since the last report)
issues have been reported on JIRA, and 93(56 since the last report) of them
are resolved or closed. And for dev@ mailing list, more discussions were
made in the past quarter. Some of the discussions are about important
decisions such as Community building roadmaps, whether to use Github
issues, how to develop plugins conveniently, how to replace Facebook/Yoga,
whether to create a project channel, etc. More and more non-alibaba and
non-Chinese guys were participating in the discussions.
• More non-alibaba developers are using Weex and reporting issues,
including developers from Tencent, Geekbang, SNDA, etc.
• Our Github repo has growth in contributors (135), forks (974), watchers
(377) and stars (7108)
• WebSite Trends Month Active, PV(440482), UV(68347), IP(59082), New
Unique Visitor(36063) , Session(114824)
How has the project developed since the last report?
• We have seperated the code for ducumentation & website from main repo to
weex-incubator-site, which will be easier to contribute.
• 9 authors have pushed 36 commits to master and 36 commits to all
branches. The community are intentionally making the committing work more
slow and deliberate.
• Replacing Facebook's Yoga is nearly done.

Hi,
Yes, I think we dropped the ball during the holidays.
Hopefully everyone is back refreshed and we can get started again.
Alex - looks like you volunteered to do this for next time :)

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:
We have a large user base but a rather small group of committers.
This was actually expected, given the maturity (and topic) of the project.
While the FreeMarker 3 branch, which was started 11 month ago, will be
much
more appealing for contributors, development and growth due to that will
certainly take a long time. In other respects the project is mature and
ready for graduation.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
We are eager to graduate but we're afraid that the number of active
contributors will prevent that in the foreseeable future. But remaining in
the incubator for several years is a growing problem as well, so at this
point we will attempt graduation.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have two new PPMC members, Jacques Le Roux and Woonsan Ko.
How has the project developed since the last report?
There was further discussion about graduation, and we will very soon have
a graduation vote on
the podling list. We have done some preparations, like we have switched
from freemarker.org
to freemarker.apache.org as our official domain, created the DOAP file,
adjusted home page
content to align better with the recommendations.
We have also made a new release (2.3.27-incubating).

Gobblin
Gobblin is a distributed data integration framework that simplifies common
aspects of big data integration such as data ingestion, replication,
organization and lifecycle management for both streaming and batch data
ecosystems.
Gobblin has been incubating since 2017-02-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make frequent releases
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?
* Gobblin has seen an exciting growth on the community front. It has grown
into a diverse self-sustained community, where non-committer members are
often seen helping out each other on mailing lists and Gitter IRC (on most
days more than the committers). Many contributors have also stepped up and
contributed with important features and taken up ownership of critical
components.
* 70% of commits have been from non-committer contributors.
* Email stats since last report:
user@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 92
dev@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 671
* Heavy activity on Gitter IRC channel (while the community uses Gitter
IRC, it also does self policing and consciously moves any discussion-thread
beyond casual chatter to the mailing lists)
* There have been 148 Commits since last report:
git log --format='%ci' | grep -cE
'(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))'
* 103 ie. 70% of those commits were by non-committers:
git log --format='%ae %ci' | grep -E
'(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))' | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq
-c | sort -n
* Recurring video conference based meetup has been happening every month
with healthy attendance.
* Gobblin was presented and well received in various conferences eg. Strata
etc.
* More companies have adopted Gobblin, and different members of PPMC have
received positive feedback and interest.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Several new powerful features have been added to Gobblin that have
enhanced Gobblin to be more valuable in Stream processing as it is in batch
data world.
* Gobblin interestingly has started to evolve into an ecosystem rather than
a singular platform with addition of major sub-systems such as
Gobblin-as-a-Service (PaaS for Gobblin as well as non-Gobblin systems),
Global Throttling (can be used with any distributed system) and existing
Gobblin metrics.
* Documentation and stability has improved across the board.
* Release v0.12.0 is being voted on right now.
* The Apache way has become the normal way of doing things.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Gobblin has made good progress on the Community front and overall as a
project. However, before calling it nearing graduation, we will like to
make atleast couple of releases.

The GSOC period had several spurts of activity. We need to begin creating
more tickets that new committers can get involved in and find more people
to do diligent code reviews.

dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The Apache MXNet
library is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and
multiple machines.
Apache MXNet has been incubating since 2017-01-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Establish a predictable release process consistent with Apache Way --
ONGOING.
2. Grow the community -- ONGOING.
3. Bring website up to Apache standard -- ONGOING
4. Identify remaining ICLAs or SGAs that need signing -- ONGOING
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) Various Slack channels, dev@ mailing lists, and user discussion forums (
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__discuss.mxnet.io&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=ugaOYs-valEa-AlfCJARCuNgB_zwd1fA-8BxuyeK3kE&e=) are being used actively. The contributors have
been working on having all discussions on the public dev@ mailing list as
much as possible. If some discussions happen in private, they are
eventually brought out on dev@ with all perspectives well-represented. This
is an ongoing improvement process where the discussion will be put on the
public dev@ mailing list so that the Apache MXNet community gets a fair
chance in influencing the final outcome/decision of the discussion.
b) O'Reilly published a series of blogs about MXNet, including ones with
deep matrix factorization using Apache MXNet:

j) MXNet 1.0 was released on 04-Dec, 2017 with extensive support and help
from various community members and timely guidance from the Apache MXNet
Mentors.
How has the project developed since the last report?
a. The community released MXNet 1.0 that is production ready, simplifies
deep learning experience, and significantly improves performance with
cutting-edge features described here:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__blogs.apache.org_mxnet_entry_milestone-2Dv1-2D0-2Drelease-2Dfor&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=7Ys6dS3kY-Ekm28NNIbp39nKo8us-ruc18Vp-7KHHm0&e=
b. From a statistics perspective, based on the Github insights, found
here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_apache_incubator-2Dmxnet_pulse_monthly&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=EM1-aqJhTNAfevYLCDhx-UlYBeEld7ef3ePupAGcMvQ&e=, in Dec 2017,
51 authors pushed 115 commits to master, with updates to 489 files
including 13K additions and 9K deletions. Historically, in Sep 2017, 62
authors pushed 171 commits to master, with updates to 467 files including
26K additions and 7K deletions. Historically, in July 2017, 54 authors
pushed 140 commits to master, with updates to 358 files including 22K
additions and 3K deletions.
c. Documentation- Architecture guides, How To's, Tutorials, and APIs
continue to be improved.
d. Support for Perl language bindings - contributed by Sergey Kolychev.
e. More advanced features (e.g. sparse tensor, advanced indexing, gradient
compression) and bug-fixes requested by the user community continue to be
added.
f. Community took complete end-to-end ownership of the continuous
integration process in order to enable reliable testing on a wide set of
back ends (IoT devices to GPU clusters).
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Podling is still being established in Apache - hence maturity == Low.

NetBeans
NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform and application
framework.
NetBeans has been incubating since 2016-10-01.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Donating remaining NetBeans code from Oracle to Apache.
2. Moving netbeans.org to Apache.
3. Voting in new committers.
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?
- Voting process for new committers has been documented for the first
time, with mentors:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cwiki.apache.org_confluence_display_NETBEANS_Becoming-2Ba-2Bcommitter&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=dpiRP5tIn2m0Z3dL3c9pfYCWXGcrd8zqC5a3vRvWGFM&e=
- The start has been made in voting on new committers, though because the
process wasn't clear, we stopped and put together the document above before
continuing.
- All NetBeans.org mailing lists have been contacted and everyone has
been encouraged to move to Apache NetBeans mailing lists.
- NetBeans.org mailing lists scheduled to be deleted (they're backed up
on MarkMail) in the first week of 2018.
- A new Apache NetBeans announce mailing list has been created for those
who want high level occasional announcements only, not day to day NetBeans
e-mails.
- GitHub commits and notifications are now sent to new dedicated mailing
lists to reduce the noise in the Apache NetBeans dev mailing list.
- Standard footers have been added to mails with info about how to
unsubscribe and where to get all the mailing list info (
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cwiki.apache.org_confluence_display_NETBEANS_Mailing-2Blists&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=KPrSZxlKS8m2HWyPV_tmrno0AuRFAjdI8CaA2N6BN2A&e=).
- Currently over 550 on Apache NetBeans users mailing list and over 350
on Apache NetBeans dev mailing lists
- Continual activity on mailing lists, new pull requests coming in and
being integrated, i.e., continually active community.
- Status report done live with several Apache NetBeans community members,
plus one Apache NetBeans mentor, at Devoxx Belgium December 2017:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_watch-3Fv-3DEkfX-2DW0tgNo&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=wby3wKKC4Z0QYn_onHhMCeauoqN06l1YE6pc1Q4NGHE&e=

- Beta of Apache NetBeans (incubating) is nearing completion and ready
for vote threads:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cwiki.apache.org_confluence_display_NETBEANS_Apache-2BNetBeans-2B9.0-2BBeta&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=Ya52S-bCPk0CqoUiXDoMetKp11Er3j3VfWcgHmMOixI&e=
- A special aspect of Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 Beta is the
ability for the user to need to specify whether they want to use the GPL-ed
nb-javac (which is an Apache requirement, i.e., the user needs to take the
onus of using binaries that are not compliant with Apache licensing
requirements) or javac directly from JDK 9 (which thus complies with Apache
licenses, though has less solid integration with NetBeans):

Most important issues to address while moving towards graduation:
* Building the community: The PPMC and committer group has a large
percentage of codecentric employees, we have been recruiting people from
other companies, but will have to continue these efforts for establishing a
healthy Apache community.
* Onboarding of new committers: With PLC4X several people on the team
are not very familiar with the Apache Way. We have started and will
continue our efforts on this onboarding.
* Podling name search: We have invested a lot of time on the name
search prior to starting to work on the project, but we still need the
official OK that we're allowed to keep the Name of Apache PLC4X.
* Make our first release
Any Issues the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of:
* In order to get access to some of the specifications the ASF will
eventually have to become Members of some external foundations: OPC,
EtherCat, Modbus ... these memberships usually have a free level, that allows
us to use the specifications but doesn't result in any regular costs. We
will have to discuss these details with the ASF and the other foundations.
* One of the external foundations (Profinet) doesn't have a free
membership. In general, the CEO of the European branch of the Profinet
Foundation has signaled that it should be possible for the ASF to become a
member and have an outside company pay the membership fees, but we have to
discuss the details (With them as well as the ASF).
How has the community developed since the last report?
* We have been accepted into the Apache Incubator just a week before
Christmas, we are still in the process of setting up
* Prior to joining the Apache Incubator however, we have managed to
recruit people from other Apache projects and are working on getting other
people familiar with the protocols and the industry involved. After the
Christmas break we are planning on contacting a big group of people that
have claimed to be wanting to be involved (A list of about 20 Companies,
but we can't tell how many will be using and how many would also be willing
to contribute)
* We have started the onboarding of new committers and will be
continuing to do this (extended emails with a lot of explanations on why we
are doing things the way we are)
* Project has bootstrapped quickly and we have mailing lists, website,
JIRA etc. all set up and running.
* Testing coverage has been improved over the initial code base
How has the project developed since the last report?
* There was no last report.
How does the podling rate their own maturity?
* We have a mix of new participants and experienced Apache people
involved.
* So far, the new participants have shown great willingness and success
in adopting the Apache Way.
* However, we still need to continue:
* the on-boarding
* increasing the diversity of the team
* Also, will we need to decide and establish all the processes involved
in releasing software at Apache

Traffic Control
Traffic Control is a set of components that can be used to build, monitor,
configure, and provision a large scale content delivery network (CDN).
Traffic Control has been incubating since 2016-07-12.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Enhance automation to make it easier to build, install, and configure
each component.
2. Improve documentation to ease ramp-up time for new community members and
make it easier for existing community members to find what they are looking
for.
3. Complete at least two releases without license issues.
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 (October 2017)?
We held a fall summit in October in Atlanta. This summit was attended by
over 20 participants from 5 different companies. The discussions were
great and we made sure to take any discussion that could potentially affect
the community to the mailing lists.
We cleaned up our mentors a bit by removing a few mentors who have asked to
be removed and/or have not contributed at all.
We have seen a few new users join our community, and our community has done
a good job of helping the new users get Traffic Control up and running.
The community has been working hard to get a new release out, which will be
Traffic Control 2.1.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Since the last report (October 2017), we have
* Merged 218 Pull Requests with 392 commits from 34 contributors
* Opened 135 Github issues
* Closed 70 Github issues
* 233 emails sent by 36 people on the dev@ list
* 25 emails sent by 12 people on the users@ list
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.
We have started discussions about graduation and we all agree that we
should try to focus on graduating in 2018. As we see it, the biggest
hurdles we still face are:
1) Getting releases through the incubator without licensing issues - we
would like to be able to get at least two releases through without
licensing issues.
2) Removing dependencies with incompatible licenses; specifically
JSON.org and jdnssec (
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_dblacka_jdnssec-2Dtools_blob_master_licenses_java-2Ddnssec-2Dtools-2DLICENSE.txt&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=QDRZTLGT3gAoEKeSHWRWAtx_e0UYESF19P5N8Tsbuao&e=)
- our plan is to have these two mitigated by the end of Q1 2018.

Weex
Weex is a framework for building Mobile cross-platform high performance UI.
Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Develop more non-Chinese contributors and committers, to bring
diversity to the community.
2. Replace Facebook's Yoga(Category X) dependency and release more while
in Incubator.
3. Improve the developer's activity in mailing list, more "bad ideas".
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The community is still learning the Apache Way, we are making progress and
need more guidance from Mentors.
An additional active Mentor would be good.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* We voted one new committer: wentao shi
* We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev mailing
list. There is an obvious growth. 186(110 new issues since the last report)
issues have been reported on JIRA, and 93(56 since the last report) of them
are resolved or closed. And for dev@ mailing list, more discussions were
made in the past quarter. Some of the discussions are about important
decisions such as Community building roadmaps, whether to use Github
issues, how to develop plugins conveniently, how to replace Facebook/Yoga,
whether to create a project channel, etc. More and more non-alibaba and
non-Chinese guys were participating in the discussions.
* More non-alibaba developers are using Weex and reporting issues,
including developers from Tencent, Geekbang, SNDA, etc.
* Our Github repo has growth in contributors (135), forks (974), watchers
(377) and stars (7108)
* WebSite Trends Month Active, PV(440482), UV(68347), IP(59082), New
Unique Visitor(36063) , Session(114824)
How has the project developed since the last report?
* We have seperated the code for ducumentation & website from main repo to
weex-incubator-site, which will be easier to contribute.
* 9 authors have pushed 36 commits to master and 36 commits to all
branches. The community are intentionally making the committing work more
slow and deliberate.
* Replacing Facebook's Yoga is nearly done.

> onus of using binaries that are not compliant with Apache licensing
> requirements) or javac directly from JDK 9 (which thus complies with Apache

> PLC4X
>
> PLC4X is a set of libraries for communicating with industrial programmable
> logic controllers (PLCs) using a variety of protocols but with a shared
> API.
>
>
> PLC4X has been incubating since 2017-12-18.
>
> Most important issues to address while moving towards graduation:
>
> * Building the community: The PPMC and committer group has a large
> percentage of codecentric employees, we have been recruiting people from
> other companies, but will have to continue these efforts for establishing a
> healthy Apache community.
> * Onboarding of new committers: With PLC4X several people on the team
> are not very familiar with the Apache Way. We have started and will
> continue our efforts on this onboarding.
> * Podling name search: We have invested a lot of time on the name
> search prior to starting to work on the project, but we still need the
> official OK that we’re allowed to keep the Name of Apache PLC4X.
> * Make our first release
>
> Any Issues the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of:
>
> * In order to get access to some of the specifications the ASF will
> eventually have to become Members of some external foundations: OPC,
> EtherCat, Modbus … these memberships usually have a free level, that allows
> us to use the specifications but doesn’t result in any regular costs. We
> will have to discuss these details with the ASF and the other foundations.
> * One of the external foundations (Profinet) doesn’t have a free
> membership. In general, the CEO of the European branch of the Profinet
> Foundation has signaled that it should be possible for the ASF to become a
> member and have an outside company pay the membership fees, but we have to
> discuss the details (With them as well as the ASF).
>
> How has the community developed since the last report?
>
> * We have been accepted into the Apache Incubator just a week before
> Christmas, we are still in the process of setting up
> * Prior to joining the Apache Incubator however, we have managed to
> recruit people from other Apache projects and are working on getting other
> people familiar with the protocols and the industry involved. After the
> Christmas break we are planning on contacting a big group of people that
> have claimed to be wanting to be involved (A list of about 20 Companies,
> but we can’t tell how many will be using and how many would also be willing
> to contribute)
> * We have started the onboarding of new committers and will be
> continuing to do this (extended emails with a lot of explanations on why we
> are doing things the way we are)
> * Project has bootstrapped quickly and we have mailing lists, website,
> JIRA etc. all set up and running.
> * Testing coverage has been improved over the initial code base
>
> How has the project developed since the last report?
>
> * There was no last report.
>
> How does the podling rate their own maturity?
>
> * We have a mix of new participants and experienced Apache people
> involved.
> * So far, the new participants have shown great willingness and success
> in adopting the Apache Way.
> * However, we still need to continue:
> * the on-boarding
> * increasing the diversity of the team
> * Also, will we need to decide and establish all the processes involved
> in releasing software at Apache

Amaterasu
Apache Amaterasu is a framework providing continuous deployment for Big
Data Pipelines.
It provides the following capabilities:
Continuous integration tools to package pipelines and run tests.
A repository to store those packaged applications: the applications
repository.

configuration repository.
A dashboard to monitor the pipelines.
A DSL and integration hooks allowing third parties to easily integrate.
Amaterasu has been incubating since 2017-09.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Prepare the first release
2. Grow up user and contributor communities
3. Prepare documentation
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 planning meeting for the next version was held online and most tasks
have been assigned to contributors

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:
We have a large user base but a rather small group of committers.
This was actually expected, given the maturity (and topic) of the
project.
While the FreeMarker 3 branch, which was started 11 month ago, will be
much
more appealing for contributors, development and growth due to that will
certainly take a long time. In other respects the project is mature and
ready for graduation.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
We are eager to graduate but we're afraid that the number of active
contributors will prevent that in the foreseeable future. But remaining
in
the incubator for several years is a growing problem as well, so at this
point we will attempt graduation.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have two new PPMC members, Jacques Le Roux and Woonsan Ko.
How has the project developed since the last report?
There was further discussion about graduation, and we will very soon have
a graduation vote on
the podling list. We have done some preparations, like we have switched
from freemarker.org
to freemarker.apache.org as our official domain, created the DOAP file,
adjusted home page
content to align better with the recommendations.
We have also made a new release (2.3.27-incubating).

Gobblin
Gobblin is a distributed data integration framework that simplifies common
aspects of big data integration such as data ingestion, replication,
organization and lifecycle management for both streaming and batch data
ecosystems.
Gobblin has been incubating since 2017-02-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make frequent releases
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?
* Gobblin has seen an exciting growth on the community front. It has grown
into a diverse self-sustained community, where non-committer members are
often seen helping out each other on mailing lists and Gitter IRC (on most
days more than the committers). Many contributors have also stepped up and
contributed with important features and taken up ownership of critical
components.
* 70% of commits have been from non-committer contributors.
* Email stats since last report:
user@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 92
dev@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 671
* Heavy activity on Gitter IRC channel (while the community uses Gitter
IRC, it also does self policing and consciously moves any discussion-thread
beyond casual chatter to the mailing lists)
* There have been 148 Commits since last report:
git log --format='%ci' | grep -cE
'(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))'
* 103 ie. 70% of those commits were by non-committers:
git log --format='%ae %ci' | grep -E
'(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))' | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq
-c | sort -n
* Recurring video conference based meetup has been happening every month
with healthy attendance.
* Gobblin was presented and well received in various conferences eg. Strata
etc.
* More companies have adopted Gobblin, and different members of PPMC have
received positive feedback and interest.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Several new powerful features have been added to Gobblin that have
enhanced Gobblin to be more valuable in Stream processing as it is in batch
data world.
* Gobblin interestingly has started to evolve into an ecosystem rather than
a singular platform with addition of major sub-systems such as
Gobblin-as-a-Service (PaaS for Gobblin as well as non-Gobblin systems),
Global Throttling (can be used with any distributed system) and existing
Gobblin metrics.
* Documentation and stability has improved across the board.
* Release v0.12.0 is being voted on right now.
* The Apache way has become the normal way of doing things.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Gobblin has made good progress on the Community front and overall as a
project. However, before calling it nearing graduation, we will like to
make atleast couple of releases.

We need more active committers to become more mature.
Please feel free to add your own commentary.
The GSOC period had several spurts of activity. We need to begin creating
more tickets that new committers can get involved in and find more people
to do diligent code reviews.

MXNet
Apache MXNet is an open-source, scalable, distributed and high-performance
deep learning framework that allows you to define, train, and deploy deep
neural networks on a wide array of devices, from cloud infrastructure to
mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for fast model training,
and supports a flexible programming model and multiple languages. Apache
MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming flavors to
maximize both efficiency and productivity. Apache MXNet is built on a
dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The Apache MXNet
library is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and
multiple machines.
Apache MXNet has been incubating since 2017-01-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Establish a predictable release process consistent with Apache Way --
ONGOING.
2. Grow the community -- ONGOING.
3. Bring website up to Apache standard -- ONGOING
4. Identify remaining ICLAs or SGAs that need signing -- ONGOING
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) Various Slack channels, dev@ mailing lists, and user discussion forums (
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__discuss.mxnet.io&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=S1_S7Dymu4ZL6g7L21O78VQZ53vEnAyZ-cx37DPYDyo&m=EiINg_pD-OOs2NCf27vgOHFQscJtM7a4mwftG_PoIeY&s=ugaOYs-valEa-AlfCJARCuNgB_zwd1fA-8BxuyeK3kE&e=
) are being used actively. The contributors have
been working on having all discussions on the public dev@ mailing list as
much as possible. If some discussions happen in private, they are
eventually brought out on dev@ with all perspectives well-represented. This
is an ongoing improvement process where the discussion will be put on the
public dev@ mailing list so that the Apache MXNet community gets a fair
chance in influencing the final outcome/decision of the discussion.
b) O’Reilly published a series of blogs about MXNet, including ones with
deep matrix factorization using Apache MXNet:

>> Gobblin
>>
>> Gobblin is a distributed data integration framework that simplifies common
>> aspects of big data integration such as data ingestion, replication,
>> organization and lifecycle management for both streaming and batch data
>> ecosystems.
>>
>> Gobblin has been incubating since 2017-02-23.
>>
>> Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
>>
>> 1. Make frequent releases
>>
>> 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?
>>
>> * Gobblin has seen an exciting growth on the community front. It has grown
>> into a diverse self-sustained community, where non-committer members are
>> often seen helping out each other on mailing lists and Gitter IRC (on most
>> days more than the committers). Many contributors have also stepped up and
>> contributed with important features and taken up ownership of critical
>> components.
>> * 70% of commits have been from non-committer contributors.
>> * Email stats since last report:
>> user@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 92
>> dev@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 671
>> * Heavy activity on Gitter IRC channel (while the community uses Gitter
>> IRC, it also does self policing and consciously moves any discussion-thread
>> beyond casual chatter to the mailing lists)
>> * There have been 148 Commits since last report:
>> git log --format='%ci' | grep -cE
>> '(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))'
>> * 103 ie. 70% of those commits were by non-committers:
>> git log --format='%ae %ci' | grep -E
>> '(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))' | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq
>> -c | sort -n
>> * Recurring video conference based meetup has been happening every month
>> with healthy attendance.
>> * Gobblin was presented and well received in various conferences eg. Strata
>> etc.
>> * More companies have adopted Gobblin, and different members of PPMC have
>> received positive feedback and interest.
>>
>> How has the project developed since the last report?
>>
>> * Several new powerful features have been added to Gobblin that have
>> enhanced Gobblin to be more valuable in Stream processing as it is in batch
>> data world.
>> * Gobblin interestingly has started to evolve into an ecosystem rather than
>> a singular platform with addition of major sub-systems such as
>> Gobblin-as-a-Service (PaaS for Gobblin as well as non-Gobblin systems),
>> Global Throttling (can be used with any distributed system) and existing
>> Gobblin metrics.
>> * Documentation and stability has improved across the board.
>> * Release v0.12.0 is being voted on right now.
>> * The Apache way has become the normal way of doing things.
>>
>> How would you assess the podling's maturity?
>>
>> Gobblin has made good progress on the Community front and overall as a
>> project. However, before calling it nearing graduation, we will like to
>> make atleast couple of releases.

>> MXNet
>>
>> Apache MXNet is an open-source, scalable, distributed and high-performance
>> deep learning framework that allows you to define, train, and deploy deep
>> neural networks on a wide array of devices, from cloud infrastructure to
>> mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for fast model training,

>> MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming flavors to
>> maximize both efficiency and productivity. Apache MXNet is built on a
>> dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
>> and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of

>> PLC4X
>>
>> PLC4X is a set of libraries for communicating with industrial programmable
>> logic controllers (PLCs) using a variety of protocols but with a shared
>> API.
>>
>>
>> PLC4X has been incubating since 2017-12-18.
>>
>> Most important issues to address while moving towards graduation:
>>
>> * Building the community: The PPMC and committer group has a large
>> percentage of codecentric employees, we have been recruiting people from
>> other companies, but will have to continue these efforts for establishing a
>> healthy Apache community.
>> * Onboarding of new committers: With PLC4X several people on the team
>> are not very familiar with the Apache Way. We have started and will
>> continue our efforts on this onboarding.
>> * Podling name search: We have invested a lot of time on the name
>> search prior to starting to work on the project, but we still need the
>> official OK that we’re allowed to keep the Name of Apache PLC4X.
>> * Make our first release
>>
>> Any Issues the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of:
>>
>> * In order to get access to some of the specifications the ASF will
>> eventually have to become Members of some external foundations: OPC,
>> EtherCat, Modbus … these memberships usually have a free level, that allows
>> us to use the specifications but doesn’t result in any regular costs. We
>> will have to discuss these details with the ASF and the other foundations.
>> * One of the external foundations (Profinet) doesn’t have a free
>> membership. In general, the CEO of the European branch of the Profinet
>> Foundation has signaled that it should be possible for the ASF to become a
>> member and have an outside company pay the membership fees, but we have to
>> discuss the details (With them as well as the ASF).
>>
>> How has the community developed since the last report?
>>
>> * We have been accepted into the Apache Incubator just a week before
>> Christmas, we are still in the process of setting up
>> * Prior to joining the Apache Incubator however, we have managed to
>> recruit people from other Apache projects and are working on getting other
>> people familiar with the protocols and the industry involved. After the
>> Christmas break we are planning on contacting a big group of people that
>> have claimed to be wanting to be involved (A list of about 20 Companies,
>> but we can’t tell how many will be using and how many would also be willing
>> to contribute)
>> * We have started the onboarding of new committers and will be
>> continuing to do this (extended emails with a lot of explanations on why we
>> are doing things the way we are)
>> * Project has bootstrapped quickly and we have mailing lists, website,
>> JIRA etc. all set up and running.
>> * Testing coverage has been improved over the initial code base
>>
>> How has the project developed since the last report?
>>
>> * There was no last report.
>>
>> How does the podling rate their own maturity?
>>
>> * We have a mix of new participants and experienced Apache people
>> involved.
>> * So far, the new participants have shown great willingness and success
>> in adopting the Apache Way.
>> * However, we still need to continue:
>> * the on-boarding
>> * increasing the diversity of the team
>> * Also, will we need to decide and establish all the processes involved
>> in releasing software at Apache

Re: [DRAFT] Incubator PMC Board Report - January 2018
Posted by "John D. Ament" <jo...@apache.org>.
Hi Ben,
I saw the report. A couple of comments:
- Its best to get a report reviewed on the dev list so others are agreeing
to it. Its not clear to me that the report filed was reviewed by others,

> MXNet
>
> Apache MXNet is an open-source, scalable, distributed and high-performance
> deep learning framework that allows you to define, train, and deploy deep
> neural networks on a wide array of devices, from cloud infrastructure to
> mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for fast model training,
> and supports a flexible programming model and multiple languages. Apache
> MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming flavors to
> maximize both efficiency and productivity. Apache MXNet is built on a
> dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
> and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
> that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The Apache MXNet
> library is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and
> multiple machines.

> Apache MXNet has been incubating since 2017-01-23.
>
> Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
>
> 1. Establish a predictable release process consistent with Apache Way --

> 2. Grow the community -- ONGOING.
> 3. Bring website up to Apache standard -- ONGOING
> 4. Identify remaining ICLAs or SGAs that need signing -- ONGOING
>
> Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be

> None
>
> How has the community developed since the last report?
>
> a) Various Slack channels, dev@ mailing lists, and user discussion forums
> (
> http://discuss.mxnet.io) are being used actively. The contributors have
> been working on having all discussions on the public dev@ mailing list as
> much as possible. If some discussions happen in private, they are
> eventually brought out on dev@ with all perspectives well-represented.
> This
> is an ongoing improvement process where the discussion will be put on the
> public dev@ mailing list so that the Apache MXNet community gets a fair
> chance in influencing the final outcome/decision of the discussion.

> - Voting process for new committers has been documented for the first

> - All NetBeans.org mailing lists have been contacted and everyone has
> been encouraged to move to Apache NetBeans mailing lists.
> - NetBeans.org mailing lists scheduled to be deleted (they're backed up
> on MarkMail) in the first week of 2018.
> - A new Apache NetBeans announce mailing list has been created for those
> who want high level occasional announcements only, not day to day NetBeans
> e-mails.
> - GitHub commits and notifications are now sent to new dedicated mailing
> lists to reduce the noise in the Apache NetBeans dev mailing list.
> - Standard footers have been added to mails with info about how to
> unsubscribe and where to get all the mailing list info (
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists).
> - Currently over 550 on Apache NetBeans users mailing list and over 350

> API.
>
>
> PLC4X has been incubating since 2017-12-18.
>
> Most important issues to address while moving towards graduation:
>
> * Building the community: The PPMC and committer group has a large
> percentage of codecentric employees, we have been recruiting people from
> other companies, but will have to continue these efforts for establishing a
> healthy Apache community.
> * Onboarding of new committers: With PLC4X several people on the team
> are not very familiar with the Apache Way. We have started and will
> continue our efforts on this onboarding.
> * Podling name search: We have invested a lot of time on the name
> search prior to starting to work on the project, but we still need the
> official OK that we’re allowed to keep the Name of Apache PLC4X.
> * Make our first release
>
> Any Issues the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of:
>
> * In order to get access to some of the specifications the ASF will
> eventually have to become Members of some external foundations: OPC,
> EtherCat, Modbus … these memberships usually have a free level, that allows
> us to use the specifications but doesn’t result in any regular costs. We
> will have to discuss these details with the ASF and the other foundations.
> * One of the external foundations (Profinet) doesn’t have a free
> membership. In general, the CEO of the European branch of the Profinet
> Foundation has signaled that it should be possible for the ASF to become a
> member and have an outside company pay the membership fees, but we have to
> discuss the details (With them as well as the ASF).
>
> How has the community developed since the last report?
>
> * We have been accepted into the Apache Incubator just a week before
> Christmas, we are still in the process of setting up
> * Prior to joining the Apache Incubator however, we have managed to
> recruit people from other Apache projects and are working on getting other
> people familiar with the protocols and the industry involved. After the
> Christmas break we are planning on contacting a big group of people that
> have claimed to be wanting to be involved (A list of about 20 Companies,
> but we can’t tell how many will be using and how many would also be willing
> to contribute)
> * We have started the onboarding of new committers and will be
> continuing to do this (extended emails with a lot of explanations on why we
> are doing things the way we are)
> * Project has bootstrapped quickly and we have mailing lists, website,
> JIRA etc. all set up and running.
> * Testing coverage has been improved over the initial code base
>
> How has the project developed since the last report?
>
> * There was no last report.
>
> How does the podling rate their own maturity?
>
> * We have a mix of new participants and experienced Apache people
> involved.
> * So far, the new participants have shown great willingness and success
> in adopting the Apache Way.
> * However, we still need to continue:
> * the on-boarding
> * increasing the diversity of the team
> * Also, will we need to decide and establish all the processes involved

Amaterasu
Apache Amaterasu is a framework providing continuous deployment for Big
Data Pipelines.
It provides the following capabilities:
Continuous integration tools to package pipelines and run tests.
A repository to store those packaged applications: the applications
repository.
A repository to store the pipelines, and engine configuration (for
instance, the location of the Spark master, etc.): per environment - the
configuration repository.
A dashboard to monitor the pipelines.
A DSL and integration hooks allowing third parties to easily integrate.
Amaterasu has been incubating since 2017-09.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Prepare the first release
2. Grow up user and contributor communities
3. Prepare documentation
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 planning meeting for the next version was held online and most tasks
have been assigned to contributors
* Tow new contributors have started setting up their dev environment and
are getting support from the community

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:
We have a large user base but a rather small group of committers.
This was actually expected, given the maturity (and topic) of the project.
While the FreeMarker 3 branch, which was started 11 month ago, will be
much
more appealing for contributors, development and growth due to that will
certainly take a long time. In other respects the project is mature and
ready for graduation.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
We are eager to graduate but we're afraid that the number of active
contributors will prevent that in the foreseeable future. But remaining in
the incubator for several years is a growing problem as well, so at this
point we will attempt graduation.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have two new PPMC members, Jacques Le Roux and Woonsan Ko.
How has the project developed since the last report?
There was further discussion about graduation, and we will very soon have
a graduation vote on
the podling list. We have done some preparations, like we have switched
from freemarker.org
to freemarker.apache.org as our official domain, created the DOAP file,
adjusted home page
content to align better with the recommendations.
We have also made a new release (2.3.27-incubating).

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make frequent releases
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?
* Gobblin has seen an exciting growth on the community front. It has grown
into a diverse self-sustained community, where non-committer members are
often seen helping out each other on mailing lists and Gitter IRC (on most
days more than the committers). Many contributors have also stepped up and
contributed with important features and taken up ownership of critical
components.
* 70% of commits have been from non-committer contributors.
* Email stats since last report:
user@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 92
dev@gobblin.incubator.apache.org : 671
* Heavy activity on Gitter IRC channel (while the community uses Gitter
IRC, it also does self policing and consciously moves any discussion-thread
beyond casual chatter to the mailing lists)
* There have been 148 Commits since last report:
git log --format='%ci' | grep -cE
'(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))'
* 103 ie. 70% of those commits were by non-committers:
git log --format='%ae %ci' | grep -E
'(2017-0(9))|(2017-1(0|1|2)|(2018-0(1)))' | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq
-c | sort -n
* Recurring video conference based meetup has been happening every month
with healthy attendance.
* Gobblin was presented and well received in various conferences eg. Strata
etc.
* More companies have adopted Gobblin, and different members of PPMC have
received positive feedback and interest.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Several new powerful features have been added to Gobblin that have
enhanced Gobblin to be more valuable in Stream processing as it is in batch
data world.
* Gobblin interestingly has started to evolve into an ecosystem rather than
a singular platform with addition of major sub-systems such as
Gobblin-as-a-Service (PaaS for Gobblin as well as non-Gobblin systems),
Global Throttling (can be used with any distributed system) and existing
Gobblin metrics.
* Documentation and stability has improved across the board.
* Release v0.12.0 is being voted on right now.
* The Apache way has become the normal way of doing things.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Gobblin has made good progress on the Community front and overall as a
project. However, before calling it nearing graduation, we will like to
make atleast couple of releases.

Gossip
Gossip is an implementation of the Gossip Protocol.
Gossip has been incubating since 2016-04-28.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Continue making releases
2. Grow community by getting more active committers
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?
There have been a few code additions that are in the review process
How has the project developed since the last report?
Activity has slowed since the last report.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
We need more active committers to become more mature.
Please feel free to add your own commentary.
The GSOC period had several spurts of activity. We need to begin creating
more tickets that new committers can get involved in and find more people
to do diligent code reviews.

MXNet
Apache MXNet is an open-source, scalable, distributed and high-performance
deep learning framework that allows you to define, train, and deploy deep
neural networks on a wide array of devices, from cloud infrastructure to
mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for fast model training,
and supports a flexible programming model and multiple languages. Apache
MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming flavors to
maximize both efficiency and productivity. Apache MXNet is built on a
dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The Apache MXNet
library is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and
multiple machines.
Apache MXNet has been incubating since 2017-01-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Establish a predictable release process consistent with Apache Way --
ONGOING.
2. Grow the community -- ONGOING.
3. Bring website up to Apache standard -- ONGOING
4. Identify remaining ICLAs or SGAs that need signing -- ONGOING
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) Various Slack channels, dev@ mailing lists, and user discussion forums (
http://discuss.mxnet.io) are being used actively. The contributors have
been working on having all discussions on the public dev@ mailing list as
much as possible. If some discussions happen in private, they are
eventually brought out on dev@ with all perspectives well-represented. This
is an ongoing improvement process where the discussion will be put on the
public dev@ mailing list so that the Apache MXNet community gets a fair
chance in influencing the final outcome/decision of the discussion.
b) O’Reilly published a series of blogs about MXNet, including ones with
deep matrix factorization using Apache MXNet:
https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/sentiment-analysis-with-apache-mxnet
https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/deep-matrix-factorization-using-apache-mxnet
https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/apache-mxnet-in-the-wolfram-language
c) A blog post published on 25-Oct about MXNet – an open source binary
neural network implementation based on MXNet:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/ai/research-spotlight-bmxnet-an-open-source-binary-neural-network-implementation-based-on-mxnet/
d) A blog post published on 01-Nov about the availability of Nvidia Volta
GPU support and Sparse Tensor support:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/ai/apache-mxnet-release-adds-support-for-new-nvidia-volta-gpus-and-sparse-tensor/
e) A new blog post published on 08-Nov showing MXNet 0.12 extends Gluon
Functionality:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/ai/apache-mxnet-version-0-12-extends-gluon-functionality-to-support-cutting-edge-research/
f) A blog post published on 08-Nov introducing Model Server for MXNet:

g) A blog post published on 7-Nov demonstrating performance and
scalability of MXNet:
https://techburst.io/mxnet-the-real-world-deep-learning-framework-2690e56ef81f
h) Members of the community have conducted open meetups to share
information on Apache MXNet:
https://www.meetup.com/Apache-MXNet-learning-group/
i) Talks on Apache MXNet have been held in various universities and
conferences across the world including US, China, etc.:

j) MXNet 1.0 was released on 04-Dec, 2017 with extensive support and help
from various community members and timely guidance from the Apache MXNet
Mentors.
How has the project developed since the last report?
a. The community released MXNet 1.0 that is production ready, simplifies
deep learning experience, and significantly improves performance with
cutting-edge features described here:
https://blogs.apache.org/mxnet/entry/milestone-v1-0-release-for
b. From a statistics perspective, based on the Github insights, found
here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pulse/monthly, in Dec 2017,
51 authors pushed 115 commits to master, with updates to 489 files
including 13K additions and 9K deletions. Historically, in Sep 2017, 62
authors pushed 171 commits to master, with updates to 467 files including
26K additions and 7K deletions. Historically, in July 2017, 54 authors
pushed 140 commits to master, with updates to 358 files including 22K
additions and 3K deletions.
c. Documentation- Architecture guides, How To’s, Tutorials, and APIs
continue to be improved.
d. Support for Perl language bindings - contributed by Sergey Kolychev.
e. More advanced features (e.g. sparse tensor, advanced indexing, gradient
compression) and bug-fixes requested by the user community continue to be
added.
f. Community took complete end-to-end ownership of the continuous
integration process in order to enable reliable testing on a wide set of
back ends (IoT devices to GPU clusters).
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Podling is still being established in Apache - hence maturity == Low.

NetBeans
NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform and application
framework.
NetBeans has been incubating since 2016-10-01.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Donating remaining NetBeans code from Oracle to Apache.
2. Moving netbeans.org to Apache.
3. Voting in new committers.
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?
- Voting process for new committers has been documented for the first
time, with mentors:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Becoming+a+committer
- The start has been made in voting on new committers, though because the
process wasn't clear, we stopped and put together the document above before
continuing.
- All NetBeans.org mailing lists have been contacted and everyone has
been encouraged to move to Apache NetBeans mailing lists.
- NetBeans.org mailing lists scheduled to be deleted (they're backed up
on MarkMail) in the first week of 2018.
- A new Apache NetBeans announce mailing list has been created for those
who want high level occasional announcements only, not day to day NetBeans
e-mails.
- GitHub commits and notifications are now sent to new dedicated mailing
lists to reduce the noise in the Apache NetBeans dev mailing list.
- Standard footers have been added to mails with info about how to
unsubscribe and where to get all the mailing list info (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists).
- Currently over 550 on Apache NetBeans users mailing list and over 350
on Apache NetBeans dev mailing lists
- Continual activity on mailing lists, new pull requests coming in and
being integrated, i.e., continually active community.
- Status report done live with several Apache NetBeans community members,
plus one Apache NetBeans mentor, at Devoxx Belgium December 2017:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkfX-W0tgNo
How has the project developed since the last report?
- Audit of 2nd code donation from Oracle is complete and is being
processed for donation, see end of this page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+Transition
- Alpha of Apache NetBeans (incubating) has been released:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Alpha
- Beta of Apache NetBeans (incubating) is nearing completion and ready
for vote threads:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Beta
- A special aspect of Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 Beta is the
ability for the user to need to specify whether they want to use the GPL-ed
nb-javac (which is an Apache requirement, i.e., the user needs to take the
onus of using binaries that are not compliant with Apache licensing
requirements) or javac directly from JDK 9 (which thus complies with Apache
licenses, though has less solid integration with NetBeans):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Java+Editor+Using+JDK+javac
- see also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-279
- Plan was to work on Beta release during last week of the year, but
holiday season got in the way.
- Repo created for cleaning up netbeans.org website, with content and
instructions included:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans-website-cleanup
- New Apache NetBeans wiki-export tool has been added to
apache-netbeans-incubator-tools:

PLC4X
PLC4X is a set of libraries for communicating with industrial programmable
logic controllers (PLCs) using a variety of protocols but with a shared API.
PLC4X has been incubating since 2017-12-18.
Most important issues to address while moving towards graduation:
* Building the community: The PPMC and committer group has a large
percentage of codecentric employees, we have been recruiting people from
other companies, but will have to continue these efforts for establishing a
healthy Apache community.
* Onboarding of new committers: With PLC4X several people on the team
are not very familiar with the Apache Way. We have started and will
continue our efforts on this onboarding.
* Podling name search: We have invested a lot of time on the name
search prior to starting to work on the project, but we still need the
official OK that we’re allowed to keep the Name of Apache PLC4X.
* Make our first release
Any Issues the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of:
* In order to get access to some of the specifications the ASF will
eventually have to become Members of some external foundations: OPC,
EtherCat, Modbus … these memberships usually have a free level, that allows
us to use the specifications but doesn’t result in any regular costs. We
will have to discuss these details with the ASF and the other foundations.
* One of the external foundations (Profinet) doesn’t have a free
membership. In general, the CEO of the European branch of the Profinet
Foundation has signaled that it should be possible for the ASF to become a
member and have an outside company pay the membership fees, but we have to
discuss the details (With them as well as the ASF).
How has the community developed since the last report?
* We have been accepted into the Apache Incubator just a week before
Christmas, we are still in the process of setting up
* Prior to joining the Apache Incubator however, we have managed to
recruit people from other Apache projects and are working on getting other
people familiar with the protocols and the industry involved. After the
Christmas break we are planning on contacting a big group of people that
have claimed to be wanting to be involved (A list of about 20 Companies,
but we can’t tell how many will be using and how many would also be willing
to contribute)
* We have started the onboarding of new committers and will be
continuing to do this (extended emails with a lot of explanations on why we
are doing things the way we are)
* Project has bootstrapped quickly and we have mailing lists, website,
JIRA etc. all set up and running.
* Testing coverage has been improved over the initial code base
How has the project developed since the last report?
* There was no last report.
How does the podling rate their own maturity?
* We have a mix of new participants and experienced Apache people
involved.
* So far, the new participants have shown great willingness and success
in adopting the Apache Way.
* However, we still need to continue:
* the on-boarding
* increasing the diversity of the team
* Also, will we need to decide and establish all the processes involved
in releasing software at Apache

Traffic Control
Traffic Control is a set of components that can be used to build, monitor,
configure, and provision a large scale content delivery network (CDN).
Traffic Control has been incubating since 2016-07-12.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Enhance automation to make it easier to build, install, and configure
each component.
2. Improve documentation to ease ramp-up time for new community members and
make it easier for existing community members to find what they are looking
for.
3. Complete at least two releases without license issues.
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 (October 2017)?
We held a fall summit in October in Atlanta. This summit was attended by
over 20 participants from 5 different companies. The discussions were
great and we made sure to take any discussion that could potentially affect
the community to the mailing lists.
We cleaned up our mentors a bit by removing a few mentors who have asked to
be removed and/or have not contributed at all.
We have seen a few new users join our community, and our community has done
a good job of helping the new users get Traffic Control up and running.
The community has been working hard to get a new release out, which will be
Traffic Control 2.1.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Since the last report (October 2017), we have
* Merged 218 Pull Requests with 392 commits from 34 contributors
* Opened 135 Github issues
* Closed 70 Github issues
* 233 emails sent by 36 people on the dev@ list
* 25 emails sent by 12 people on the users@ list
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.
We have started discussions about graduation and we all agree that we
should try to focus on graduating in 2018. As we see it, the biggest
hurdles we still face are:
1) Getting releases through the incubator without licensing issues - we
would like to be able to get at least two releases through without
licensing issues.
2) Removing dependencies with incompatible licenses; specifically
JSON.org and jdnssec (
https://github.com/dblacka/jdnssec-tools/blob/master/licenses/java-dnssec-tools-LICENSE.txt)
- our plan is to have these two mitigated by the end of Q1 2018.

Weex
Weex is a framework for building Mobile cross-platform high performance UI.
Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Develop more non-Chinese contributors and committers, to bring
diversity to the community.
2. Replace Facebook's Yoga(Category X) dependency and release more while
in Incubator.
3. Improve the developer's activity in mailing list, more "bad ideas".
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The community is still learning the Apache Way, we are making progress and
need more guidance from Mentors.
An additional active Mentor would be good.
How has the community developed since the last report?
• We voted one new committer: wentao shi
• We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev mailing
list. There is an obvious growth. 186(110 new issues since the last report)
issues have been reported on JIRA, and 93(56 since the last report) of them
are resolved or closed. And for dev@ mailing list, more discussions were
made in the past quarter. Some of the discussions are about important
decisions such as Community building roadmaps, whether to use Github
issues, how to develop plugins conveniently, how to replace Facebook/Yoga,
whether to create a project channel, etc. More and more non-alibaba and
non-Chinese guys were participating in the discussions.
• More non-alibaba developers are using Weex and reporting issues,
including developers from Tencent, Geekbang, SNDA, etc.
• Our Github repo has growth in contributors (135), forks (974), watchers
(377) and stars (7108)
• WebSite Trends Month Active, PV(440482), UV(68347), IP(59082), New
Unique Visitor(36063) , Session(114824)
How has the project developed since the last report?
• We have seperated the code for ducumentation & website from main repo to
weex-incubator-site, which will be easier to contribute.
• 9 authors have pushed 36 commits to master and 36 commits to all
branches. The community are intentionally making the committing work more
slow and deliberate.
• Replacing Facebook's Yoga is nearly done.
