[DRAFT] November 2014 Board Report
Hi all,
Per Roman's email earlier today, I was working on putting together the
board report. First, thanks to all the podlings who have completed their
reports. I still have to remove some lines, but wanted to send out the
draft report to see if anyone had any comments.
I'm going to remove:
- NPanday's block (didn't report)
- Ripplie (didn't report)
- Johnzon's release (for some reason this was in last month's report...
must have slipped thorugh)
Please find the report below.

BatchEE
BatchEE projects aims to provide a JBatch implementation (aka JSR352) 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 somewhat low recently, but that is due most of the
involved people are also active in other ASF projects which needed
some attention lately.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We got a few patches from both IBMers and 'new' community members.
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!).

--------------------
Blur
Blur is a search platform capable of searching massive amounts of data
in a cloud computing environment.
Blur has been incubating since 2012-07-24.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. None in terms of Incubator criteria; we are on the verge of a very
stable version and would like to get that out the door prior to
graduation.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The notarized trademark document referred to in past board reports has
now been signed.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We continue to be small but active.
- Subscriptions: user@ - 60[-1]; dev@ - 66[-1]
How has the project developed since the last report?
We have two main efforts going on over the past quarter: 1) we've made
numerous improvements to stabilize the original platform at really
large scale. 2) we've been refining the ideas around the new major
feature - which will introduce a new abstraction in distributed search
- mentioned in our previous report.
We're pleased to have seen some new folks show up and contribute bug
reports and patches.

Two new committers were voted into the project: Márton Balassi and Gyula
Fóra. There were presentations on Flink at the VLDB keynote, a meetup in
Stockholm (more than 150 participants), one in Pasadena, CA and two
meetups in Berlin. There are upcoming talks in Palo Alto, CA and at the
Apache Con in Budapest. The dev@flink mailing list had more than 300
messages on average in the last months. The user@ list 124 in October.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Flink has released two major versions (0.6-incubating and 0.7-incubating)
in the last three months. (There was also a minor bugfix release for the
0.6-incubating release). The Apache MRQL (incubating) project has added
support for running programs with Flink. There is an effort within the
Flink community to integrate with Apache Tez.

Re: [DRAFT] November 2014 Board Report
Posted by Robert Metzger <rm...@apache.org>.
I think the Flink 0.7.0-incubating release is missing from the report (See
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201410.mbox/%3CCAGr9p8BVLhuFvQYyrNYHJVY4RHPbGmAiX4MdwQBg6auOG%2BMtPg%40mail.gmail.com%3E
)
I've edited the wiki page.

Re: [DRAFT] November 2014 Board Report
Posted by Konstantin Boudnik <co...@apache.org>.
As a mentor of NPandey, I think it is safe to remove it from the report. I

travelling and I am not sure about the activity of the others.
Thanks,

I thought we gave up on the cut-off date of the month since a few
past reports mentioned things that happened pretty close to the
report submission deadlines, IIRC.
I was 100% with you, but then found out that tracking things wasn't
that big of a deal and decided that I didn't need a strong cut-off
date.
I guess I'd keep both for now, but if you think it is better to stick
with a cut-off -- let me know.
Thanks,
Roman.

Ah sorry I wasn't aware of that cutoff date - if there's no specific
reason to delay I'd say this month, from the board's point of view if
the resolution is in early enough that's fine. Comments can be added
to the Incubator report if needed, to avoid having to change it after
submission.
