> PLC4X is a set of libraries for communicating with industrial programmable

>
> 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.
> Make our first release
>
> Any Issues the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of:
>
> In contrast to previous reports some of the concerns regarding availability
> and usability of specifications have been resolved. Especially for using
> the Modbus and the OPC-UA specifications Christofer was able to get
> official permissions from the corresponding foundations to use the
> specifications. These permission Emails have been filed in the private list
> for documentation.
>
> 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?
>
> Christofer has invested most of his time in March spreading the word about
> PLC4X.
> A first POC has been created for a company which is currently going into
> production
> An article about Apache Edgent and Apache PLC4X has been published as a
> cover-story in the German JavaSPEKTRUM magazines Industrial IoT special
> edition (https://www.sigs-datacom.de/digital/javaspektrum/). One PLC4X talk
> has been accepted to the Apache EU Roadshow 2018 in Berlin and one will be
> at the Silpion Techcamp in Hamburg (https://techcamp.hamburg/) in the first
> April week.
>
> The dev-list subscriptions has gone up by one from February, we are hoping
> to increase the number in the next few weeks (However quite some emails
> come in from un-registered users that have to pass moderation).
>
> We now have a Twitter account: https://twitter.com/ApachePlc4x as another
> channel of communicating interesting PLC4X facts.
>
> How has the project developed since the last report?
>
> We have been working hard on making better use of the ASF build
> infrastructure. Especially regarding setting up our project VM at
> plc4x-vm.apache.org this effort will be continued.
> After receiving the permission to use and implement the Modbus protocol,
> the Driver skeletons have been setup, but no real implementation of the
> protocol itself has been done yet. We are still hoping for volunteers to
> step up as interest in implementing the Modbus protocol has been explicitly
> mentioned by community memebers.
> The work on the RawSocket Netty transport which is a requirement to
> implement protocols that are IP based, but are not TCP or UDP has continued
> and we are currently working on some of the quirks on Linux based
> operating-systems.
> We added Netty support for IO over serial ports and will be using this in
> the Beckhoff module as a first protocol.
> We are still working on the S7 Protocol fragmentation and hope to be able
> to finish this in April.
> Also we discussed on the list about how the others would think of
> initiating a first release of PLC4X.
>
> 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
