June 2016 Report

Here is a draft for the report. Please send me your comments before Wednesday 1.

SAMOA

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. Grow the community
  2. Elect new PMC members
  3. Release more often

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 (March 2016 - May 2016):
  * @dev: 202 messages

  Jira issues backlog (March 2016 - May 2016):
  * Created:  3
  * Resolved: 9

We have a number of new users showing up on the mailing list, which is
encouraging.

How has the project developed since the last report?

After the decision taken by the community to drop support for S4, we removed
the support for S4. We fixed automatic build issues, we simplified
input from HDFS, and we worked on adding support for Apache Gearpump.
Two talks were given to advertise Apache SAMOA, one at ApacheCon NA
Big Data by Nicolas, and another one at the "J on the beach" conference by
Albert.

Date of last release:

  2015-07-21

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

  None

Signed-off-by:

Hi Alan,

Thank you for the feedback.

You are right! In fact, we have been discussing about a new release which
we are planning to execute soon (probably within the month) with new
features / extensions / updates / bugs resolved.

Regarding the new committers, we have had interest from various industrial
teams that perform machine learning research and development and we are
expecting their contributions in the next few weeks / months, before we
upgrade them to committers.

Thank you again for your time and feedback.

Nicolas

Some feedback for the Samoa community:  No releases since last July looks a little slow.  Is a release planned soon?  Are there new features or bug fixes that would interest users that are ready for release?

Also having not added any committers is a concern.  Are there any contributors who look like they are growing towards committership?

Hi Albert,

Thanks for sending this. I think it looks good.
If you want, put our full names for completeness.

Thanks!
