Annotator
Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and
humans.
Annotator has been incubating since 2016-08-30.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Achieving active development cadence
2. Attracting new contributors
3. Establishing presence (web, repo, activity)
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
Beginning work within the ASF has been slow (and rather confusing).
Mailing
list activity has improved, but still low volume. Development priorities
are still being discussed. We do now have repositories for code and the
website, but are blocked by needing access to them--the request as been
made to the general@incubator list. However, we have successfully gotten
Jira and Confluence setup for the project and have a promotional web page
ready and waiting once access has been granted. Making the incubation
process clearer (and ideally more automated) would have saved a lot of
time
and confusion. That said, our Champion (Daniel Gruno), has been most
helpful in helping us navigate.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Discussions have begun on development priorities. Infrastructure helped us
resolve some outstanding project setup needs (Jira, Confluence, and git
for
the web site and code). Once the site is online, we intend to promote the
community more and make concrete plans out of the proposals made on the
mailing list so far.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Same as above. Mostly discussion and infrastructure/access setup--some
still in progress.
Date of last release:
None.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
None since start of incubation.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Drew Farris (shepherd): One mentor active on mailing lists and another's
assistance is
referenced in the board report. Annotator is still getting off the
ground. Observed
recent mailing list activity seeking to set a path forward for the
project.
--------------------
AriaTosca
ARIA TOSCA project offers an easily consumable Software Development Kit(SDK)
and a Command Line Interface(CLI) to implement TOSCA(Topology and
Orchestration Specification of Cloud Applications) based solutions.
AriaTosca has been incubating since 2016-08-27.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow the community and enroll new committers.
2. Have frequent Release cycles to be compliant with the Apache Way.
3. Publish "How To Contribute" guide at ARIA-TOSCA Website.
4. Update ARIA website acording to ASF guideline(Include release process
for ARIA-TOSCA Project)
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
There's an INFRA jira we created over a month ago which has yet to be
addressed - please see here INFRA-12733 - Ability to create a Sprint Board
for AriaTosca WAITING FOR USER
It is not entirely critical for the project's progress, but it could be
helpful if we indeed get a sprint board and the other things requested in
that issue.
Update: the ticket is now in progress.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* Open-O is in process for consuming the ARIA ASF package
* Cloudfiy is in process for consuming the ARIA ASF package as well.
* Need to work on building the community and accepting external
contributions.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* TOSCA parser migrated into ASF
* CI on Appveyor, Jenkins
* Sphinx documentation added to the project
* CLIs of workflow engine and parser coalesced
* TOSCA CSAR packager added
* APIs for workflows, operations
* Workflow engine task retry support
* Workflow engine execution cancel support
Date of last release:
No Releases yet
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
Project is still functioning with the initial set of committers.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
John D. Ament:
The podling is still getting its feet wet. Discussions are starting to
happen on the mailing lists rather than in physical offices which is
good
and will help to bring about a more diverse community. I would also
strongly encourage the podling to work with their mentors to get infra
changes in to avoid confusion.

log4cxx2
Logging for C++. N.B. This is a reboot of the Log4cxx podling which
previously graduated.
log4cxx2 has been incubating since 2013-12-09.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Create a release
2. Activate some community
3.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
There was a discussion in the first quarter of the year to move the
project to attic unless it is able to release in the next few months. No
release happened since then.
Currently it seems that there's only one official project member with
commit access left and even though some contributor worked on fixing the
release process, that project member was unable to invest the necessary
time to create a release yet.
For that reason, the left member decided to not even care anymore about a
release and published this decision on the dev mailing list of the
project.
While the member is still willing to provide some support and would regret
a move of the project to attic, creating a release has no priority nor is
seen as strictly necessary and will therefore most likely always
prioritize
lower than other tasks.
How has the community developed since the last report?
3 support questions, no new project members. There was a lengthy
discussion
about switching to C++ standard smart pointers with possibly breaking the
API, the influence of such an approach on a release etc. Some bugs have
been created to coordinate that work.
Robert Middleton started to move the project to smart pointers using boost
or std::shared_ptr in a private GitHub repo. He's actually changing more
code than the one left official project member.
https://github.com/rm5248/log4cxx-testing/tree/smart_pointers
Date of last release:
2008-04-03 was the last official, pre-incubation 0.10.0

[X](log4cxx2) Ralph Goers
Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Ralph Goers:
The Log4j PMC will need to have a discussion about the state of this
project. Since Log4cxx2 was always intended to be a subproject of the
Logging project moving it to the attic may or may not be the right move.
Instead, it might just become a "dormant" subproject.
--------------------
Mnemonic
Apache Mnemonic is an advanced hybrid memory storage oriented library, we've
proposed a non-volatile/durable Java object model and durable computing
service that bring several advantages to significantly improve the
performance of massive real-time data processing/analytics. developers are
able to use this library to design their cache-less, SerDe-less and
native-direct computing high performance applications.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Apache releases: we have release version 0.3.0-incubating
2. Improved dev. docker to facilitate development.
3. provided information to potential customers e.g. bank user, other
project's Apache committers
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
No.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Our last report was in April. Since then
* Two more developers are going to join our community.
* We need to encourage more discussion on the dev list in the coming
months
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Added durable native sorting service (n-dim linked data) with testcases
* Removed the 3rd Maven repository and use Maven central repository only
* DOM and DNCS could apply to volatile memory service except fixed k-v
store
* Added a bench workload to verify the benefits from DNCS with scripts,
generator

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Alan Cabrera: Not a huge amount of activity but at least there's a small
consistent trickle. I think that the fact that someone was interested
in adding an Apache Storm adapter speaks somewhat to the viability of the
project.

Alan Gates:
I'm concerned about this podling. The last commit was on August 15.
Discounting broadcast and reminders, there have been no emails on the
dev
list since October, and there were only 3 that month. I've sent email
on
the dev list asking if people are still actively involved.
Flavio Junqueira:
I second Alan's concern, there has been very little activity in the last
period for this podling.

The community is actively working on graduating. They have been
discussing a draft proposal on the dev list and are working out a few
final details before taking it to the Incubator PMC. Based on their
self
assessment against the maturity model, community growth, and several
Apache releases I believe they are ready to graduate.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Alan Gates:
Very low activity on this project over the last few months, with last
commit showing as Sept 22 and very few commits since last March. A big
need here beyond activity is to grow the community. There is a one
individual who made several contributions last spring; I sent an email
to
the mailing list asking if it made sense to invite him to become a
committer.

Wave
A wave is a hosted, live, concurrent data structure for rich communication.
It can be used like email, chat, or a document.
Wave has been incubating since 2010-12-04.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Growing community
2. Improving code base
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?
The community has several new/re-activated contributors and participants
across different disciplines since last report. The most significant
developments for our community have come about since September.
After an open community conference call on Sept 28th, a joint effort
between Wave and SwellRT development was initiated. SwellRT API has been
tried out by some members of the community and a branch containing the
SwellRT code is now in the repository. Discussions are still taking place
to determine the full extent of the integration as the projects share a
common goal but have side plans as well.
SwellRT is a fork of Wave resolving some complexity issues of the Wave
code
that have prevented community growth and adoption issues.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Some members of Wave community have tried SwellRT API and some common
tasks
have been performed, such as:
- Cleaned up some obsolete dependencies.
- New branch created on wave repo containing a mirror of SwellRT code.
- Updated major dependencies and fixed minor bugs, some taken from
SwellRT.

Upayavira:
SwellRT appears to be a useful addition to Wave - it was originally a
fork of Wave that has been improved/simplified. The Wave community still
needs to handle IP Clearance for the SwellRT codebase.
