[ROUGH DRAFT] March 2015 Report
Hi all,
Below you will find what I'm calling the rough draft of the March 2015
report. Unfortunately I've had some personal issues pop up in the last day
or so that need my attention and I won't be able to finish up the remaining
areas. If someone else can pick up those spots it would be great.

BatchEE
The Apache BatchEE project aims to provide a JBatch implementation
(aka JSR-352) and a set of useful extensions for this specification.
BatchEE has been incubating since 2013-10-03.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Increase the community
2. Improve our documentation
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
No, activity is still moderate but the project code itself is stable
How has the community developed since the last report?
We again got patches and had questions on the mailing list.
No new committer though.
How has the project developed since the last report?
BatchEE already gets used in real world projects.
It is now also part of Apache TomEE-2.0 which will target
JavaEE-7 as soon as we get the JavaEE TCK.
Please note that the TCK issue doesn't affect BatchEE as
the JSR-352 spec and TCK are licensed under ALv2 (txs IBM!).
Mark Struberg presented BatchEE on ApacheCon and will speak about
it again at JavaLandConf in Germany in March.
Date of last release:
2014-08-09 batchee-0.2-incubating
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
during inubation. We are still watching a contributor who
pretty regularly ships small patches. Too less to pick him though.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
P. Taylor Goetz (ptgoetz):
Email traffic on the podling dev@ list is relatively light, but the
podling is producing releases regularly and all mentors are actively
participating in guiding the release process. One minor note: Current and
previous reports indicate that no new PPMC have been added since
incubation, but Mark Struberg seems to have been added as a mentor (and
presumably PPMC member).
--------------------
Kalumet
Kalumet a complete environment manager and deployer including J2EE
environments (application servers, applications, etc), softwares, and
resources.
Kalumet has been incubating since 2011-09-20.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Due to the low activity level, Kalumet community is thinking about retiring
Kalumet from the incubator.
Community Developement:
Apache Kalumet 0.6-incubating version has been released. However, due to
some misunderstanding, the release vote has not been completed by 3 IPMC.
Especially, some legal files issues have been raised.
We are preparing a 0.6.1-incubating release to fix the legal files and
submit to IPMC vote.
We are in the way of promoting the documentation on the website.
Project Development:
We are preparing the 0.6.1-incubating (plan for December, 27) to fix the
legal files issues raised on 0.6-incubating release and have a complete
IPMC vote.
We are preparing the 0.7-incubating release with the development changes.
A new contributor has been identified and started to work on some issues
and refactoring of the webconsole (mockup provided using Vaadin).
Local branches have been created containing:
- new model and REST API
- new webconsole (remove of Echo framework)
These local branches will be merged on the 0.7-incubating branch (master).
Before Graduation:
- The documentation has been updated and aligned with the 0.6-incubating
release. The documentation will be promoted on the website and "linked"
in announcement e-mails as soon as the 0.6.1-incubating release has been
voted.
- The 0.7-incubating release will fix the graduation issue, especially in
term of license (removal of Echo2 framework for the UI).
Post Graduation:
- Kalumet scripts. It's the extension of the "software" concept globally
to all Kalumet resources. It will allow users to create custom
deployment/update plan, with a set of fine-grained steps.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of:
None so far.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
[Drew Farris] (shepherd): One active mentor this month. There was
some delay in obtaining sufficient PPMC/IPMC votes on this
month's release. The project currently appears to have a single
active developer, however I concur with the comments on
potential community growth as indicated in the report. It looks
like things are headed in the appropriate direction to attract
new users and developers. Congratulations on the release.

2. We need to get our SNAPSHOT deployment going -- AsciiDoc, JavaDoc, and
SNAPSHOT jars. We have Jenkins works for us, just need to go the final mile.
3. We need to release 3.0.0.M8. This will be a great milestone showing
that TinkerPop is full-on Apache and producing like a well oiled machine.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Everything has been going smoothly since the last report. While the
processes are slower than we would like, they are moving along. Getting
past the infrastructure migration will be a big win for us.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have not grown our committer pool. Currently it is still only Marko,
Stephen, and James. Those individuals that were committers when TinkerPop
was outside of Apache are currently providing pull requests. When we get
past the infrastructure migration process, Stephen and I plan to recommend
a few long term TinkerPop developers to join as committer pool and thus,
grow the developer community.
How has the project developed since the last report?
We have migrated from GitHub to ApacheGit. We have migrated our website
from http://tinkerpop.com to http://tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org/. We
have migrated our GitHub presence to Apache GitHub (
https://github.com/apache/incubator-tinkerpop). We have prepped our source
code with ASF preamble headers and have gutted all "non-Apache compliant"
dependencies (save for one -- we are working with our mentors on this).
Finally, on the development front, the developers are coding every day.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
[Daniel Gruno]: I would like to see more people invited to the project as
committers. There are a few people with several patches against TinkerPop
that could be valuable committers.
[johndament]: Agree with Daniel's comments. Growth should be one of the
key objectives.
--------------------
Wave
A wave is a hosted, live, concurrent data structure for rich communication.
It can be used like email, chat, or a document.
Wave has been incubating since 2010-12-04.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Wave is very close to making its first release. This is the top
priority.
2. The project needs to determine what the next few technical goals are.
3. The project needs to attract more developers and users.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
None at this time.
How has the community developed since the last report?
The community has been slow to develop. There are still many people
downloading and using the software, we have seen several bug reports and
questions, but there has not been much contribution by new members.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The code for the release has largely been finalized. We believe that major
legal and technical issues have been overcome. Only a few finals steps
remain. The project blieves that we are finally ready to make a release.

Zeppelin
A collaborative data analytics and visualization tool for distributed,
general-purpose data processing systems such as Apache Spark, Apache Flink,
etc.
Zeppelin has been incubating since 2014-12-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. SGA: IP clearance to be signed by NFLabs
2. Finish migration to ASF infra: code and issues
3. Complete PODLINGNAMESEARCH-64
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?
We see new people participate discussion on mailing list. We've received
10 patches from 8 different people outside of the initial committers list,
6 of them made their first contribution to Zeppelin.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Support for Yarn and Mesos cluster are added, helped by new people.
Work on separate interpreter process is in progress. Since it's changing
internal a lot, we've discussed on dev@ mailing list, made PoC and then
started implementation.
The project is still waiting for the Software Grant from NFLabs legal
department. NFLabs legal department is working on their internal process
and expected to process SGA on early March.
Proposal for ApacheCon is discussed in dev@ mailing list and wiki.
Zeppelin is scheduled to be represented at ApacheCon North America in April.

I just went and did my usual whitespace and formatting normalization. In
terms of content, there are now three tasks left.
First, we need to fill out the "podling summary", which entails dividing up
podlings into categories.
1. "Still getting started at the Incubator" is where all podlings begin.
2. After bootstrapping finishes, podlings move to the "No release" category.
3. Once an incubating release is made, podlings typically move into
"Community growth" category.
4. Podlings that report that graduation is being discussed or that have
already passed a graduation vote are listed under "Ready to graduate".
5. At any point a podling might also be put into a special category of its
own if none of the rest fit.
The second task is to flesh out the top section, including writing up a
narrative describing important discussions on general@incubator or other
trends that the Board might be interested in.
The third task is trivial and mechanical: tomorrow morning, after tonight's
deadline for shepherd reviews closes, we should delete all the empty shepherd
reviews. (I typically reformat the existing shepherd reviews as well.)
If you want to claim any one of those, feel free. If you don't get to the
podling categorization, I might. And if neither of us gets to the narrative,
Roman will finish it.
FWIW, the DRAFT shouldn't have been sent out until tomorrow because tonight is
actually the deadline for finishing the content. We want people to be able to
review the narrative and all shepherd reports so that they have a chance to
object to anything they don't like.
But the process is never completely glitch-free. We should be happy that this
month that every last podling reported!
I'm expecting to provide a lot of help for you next month, Ted, when you'll be
the last line of defense instead of Roman. I'm glad we've been able get a
head start -- it should make next month easier!

can you point to what areas need touching up?

I believe a correction should be made to podlings.xml to reflect. Per a
recent conversation, champion is only important in forming the proposal.

That's my eyeballs focusing on the mentor list and completely missing the champion row in the Podling status page ;) , and the fact that in previous incubator reports you were not listed in the mentor sign off section.
I will remove the comment.
Apologies for the mistake, just a badly executed attempt at being thorough. ;)

Not quite sure where my enlistment is missing.
I am on the initial set of committers (which form the PPMC) and I am even the champion of this project [1]. I thought that would automatically make me a mentor as well. At least it worked that way in DeltaSpike and other poddlings I accompanied to graduation so far ;)
