How has the project developed since the last report?
The project has had its first two releases in July 2017 - 0.1 and 0.1.1
Important new features have been added:
- Resumable workflows
- Scaling nodes during service creation
- AWS plugin support
- Additional work towards being more TOSCA-compliant (e.g. interface
inputs support)
- Additional usage examples have been added, including ones that use
IaaS plugins (Openstack, AWS), as well as one covering a real-life NFV
use-case (Clearwater example)
- More comprehensive tests, including for documentation generation, and
parallelization of test suites
- Standardized the release process with automatic shell scripts,
allowing anyone to easily create additional releases for the project
- 64 JIRA issues have been resolved since the last report

HTrace is a tracing framework intended for use with distributed systems
written in java.
HTrace has been incubating since 2014-11-11.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

artifacts
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
In a DISCUSSION thread on our dev list [1], one of us suggested
moving the podling htrace to the attic because of inactivity.
A healthy back and forth suggested that we are not
dead yet, that we cut back our scope radically, and
that we give it another try before calling it quits.

"...A healthy back and forth suggested that we are not dead yet,
that we cut back our scope radically, and that we give it another
try before calling it quits." I think HTrace may have a good
opportunity
to come back to life if the above cut backs are implemented.

SAMOA provides a collection of distributed streaming algorithms for the most
common data mining and machine learning tasks such as classification,
clustering, and regression, as well as programming abstractions to develop
new
algorithms that run on top of distributed stream processing engines (DSPEs).
It features a pluggable architecture that allows it to run on several DSPEs
such as Apache Storm, Apache Flink, and Apache Samza.
SAMOA has been incubating since 2014-12-15.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Elect new PPMC members
2. Enlarge the community
3.
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?
Mailing list activity (June 2017 - August 2017):
* @dev: 120 messages
Jira issues backlog (June 2017 - August 2017):
* Created: 4
* Resolved: 5
We saw the engagement of new contributors, who are plausible candidates
for the PPMC.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Planning a new release in the next month. Work on the release was
delayed due to summer holidays for most of the contributors.
* Integrated Apache Kafka support and support for JSON and Avro.
* Developed a new Boosting algorithm that will be integrated shortly.
* Integrated new version of the SAMOA instances.
* Integrated ability to store predictions on disk.
