Apache DataFu PMC report - November 2015

I've written a report on DataFu for November 2015:

https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/November2015

Please let me know if you have any feedback.

Thanks,

Here's a good example from a podling I recently mentored:

Thanks,

How is the maturity report to be filled out?  Do we basically go through
each item and describe how DataFu fulfills it?  For example, CD10 would
become "Apache DataFu produces Open Source software, for distribution to
the public at no charge." ?  And RE10 would become: "Apache DataFu releases
consist of source code, distributed using standard and open archive formats
that are expected to stay readable in the long term."?  Is there an example
for another project?

I'll work on the updates for the status page at
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/datafu.html.

Great. In that case, I'd really like to get the release out (I see
that the lates
RC has materialized -- I'll take a look at it shortly) and start a graduation
conversation within a month or so.

In preparation for that, I wonder if you guys would be game to fill
out the ASF maturity report:
    https://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html

It isn't a requirement, but it helps getting others to vote +1 (instead of
being 0) on the graduation thread.

That would be any of the mentors. Can you, please, send me the updates
you wish to make?

Thanks,
Roman.

Hi Roman,

Thanks for reviewing the report.  Regarding graduation, I read the guides
below [1] [2] and I don't think there is much left before we consider
graduation.  As you pointed out, we've added a few folks to the project.
We've received contributions from other folks as well.  I think doing a
release is the most important item left.

We should update the DataFu project status page at
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/datafu.html .  I noticed the
graduation guide [2] mentioned this.  It looks like it hasn't been updated
since the project began incubation.  Most (if not all) of the work items
listed there have already been completed.  Who should I work with to update
that page?

Thanks,
Matt

This looks good to me. I've signed off.

I'm also very pleased to see the release being rolled out
for vote soon (I'm about to take it for a spin myself shortly).

This got me thinking: since DataFu will be hitting its 2nd
year mark as an Incubator project soon now, what will
be left in order for the project to consider graduation?

I've browsed through the JIRA and ML archives and what
DataFu appears to be is a small community but capable
community. In two years you've added 3 folks to your
project:
    Casey Stella
    Jian Wang
    Russell Jurney
which, given the relative size of the project is actually fine.
You also seem to be doing pretty well in terms of collaborative
development.

So... what do you think is left?

Thanks,
Roman.
