[DRAFT] Incubator PMC Board Report - May 2017
All,
Please find the draft board report below. Please remember that this is an
open report, so feel free to add additional notes to the report directly on
the wiki ( https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/May2017 ).
To the podlings on the CC of this email, please note that your reports are
either missing or not signed off on. Please work to get your reports
submitted ASAP. It is a pretty high number - 12 podlings.

Incubator PMC report for May 2017
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
There are presently 60 podlings incubating. Podlings executed seven
releases in April, including the first release from ODF Toolkit in a long
time. One IPMC member stepped down in April, and one new member joined.
* Community
New IPMC members:
- Larry McCay
People who left the IPMC:
- Marvin Humphrey
* New Podlings
- None
* Retired Podlings
- Pirk
* Podlings that failed to report, expected next month
- Gobblin
- HORN
- Joshua
- Tamaya
- Toree
- Unomi
* Podlings presently missing sign off
- BatchEE
- Blur
- Edgent
- iota
- Sirona
- Slider
* Graduations
The board has motions for the following:
- None
* Releases
The following releases entered distribution during the month of
April:
- 2017-04-01 Apache Guacamole 0.9.12
- 2017-04-02 Apache Gossip 0.1.2
- 2017-04-10 Apache ODF Toolkit 0.6.2
- 2017-04-13 Apache Mnemonic 0.6.0
- 2017-04-24 Apache PredictionIO 0.11.0
- 2017-04-28 Apache Gearpump 0.8.3
- 2017-04-28 Apache Juneau 6.2.0
* Legal / Trademarks
- Podlings struggle with their first releases. There has been growing
asks to revisit the binaries in source releases policy as a number of newer
build tools rely on including a small JAR to ease the build process.
Several IPMC members have voiced interest in following up with legal in
this area.
* Infrastructure
- There were small hiccups with the Metron graduation that may need some
refinement between IPMC, Infrastructure and Trademarks/Press.
- The other graduations and Pirk's retirement went smoothly.
- In addition, thanks to some strong collaboration with Infrastructure we
now have a podlings [AT] incubator DOT apache DOT org to better communicate
with the podlings as a whole.
* Miscellaneous
- The new podling logo has been announced to all podlings. Some have
already implemented the new logo and it looks much better on websites.
- The new incubator website is being worked on, slowly. We may start by
simply porting the existing content and then refining policies.
- We have refined our processes to communicate out that rosters should be
maintained in Whimsy going forward. A formal announcement should happen by
ApacheCon.

Edgent
Apache Edgent is a programming model and micro-kernel style runtime
that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling
local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming
from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of
all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in
conjunction with centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides
efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the
center to the edge.
Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Create and expand a diverse community of contributors and committers
around the Edgent project.
2. Checking of all items in the project's Maturity Model
(
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDGENT/Apache+Maturity+Model+For+Edgent
)
3. Although not required to graduate, it might be good to attract at
least another independent committer/ppmc member.
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?
* Three speakers will present their experience with Edgent at the
ApacheCon North America in May 2017:
* Video Analytics at the Edge: Fun with Apache Edgent, OpenCV and a
Raspberry Pi - Dale LaBossiere and William Marshall, ppmc members and
committers for Edgent.
* Having fun with Raspberry(s) and Apache Projects - Jean-Frederic
Clere.
* Since the last report, 2 individuals have subscribed to the Apache
Edgent dev mailing list. There were 65 subscribers as of the end of
April 2017.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Release 1.1.0 of Edgent as part of the Apache incubator was created on
17 March 2017. This represented 26 bug fixes and improvements,
including more usage examples, application autoSubmit capability to
IotProvider, support for publishing WIoTP device events using HTTP,
and many others.
* According to JIRA, 33 new issues were added to the project and 81
issues have been resolved or closed between February 2017 and April
2017.

Fluo
Fluo is a distributed system for incrementally processing large data sets
stored in Accumulo.
Fluo has been incubating since 2016-05-17.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make an additional release of Fluo and Fluo Recipes.
2. Vote in a new committer.
3.
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?
A non-committer has made multiple code contributions to the project
recently.
We are discussing a release soon.
How has the project developed since the last report?
A few exciting new features were added that will be in the next release :
* Writing Fluo applications is now easier. Users only need to configure
a single observer provider class, instead of configuring each observer
class separately. This change makes it possible to use Java 8 Lambdas!
* The scalability of Fluo was greatly improved by changing how it scans
for
notifications. The work to find notifications was decreased from
O(N^2)
to O(N) where N is the number of nodes.
* Multiple internal performance improvements were made.

Comments: Fluo is comprised of ASF "veterans" -- they operate
themselves well. That "learn the Apache way"
part of incubation was there from day #1 because they
already "got it". However, they continue
to struggle to attract new talent (it is niche software).
There have been some publicity efforts from the devs, but
growing the podling beyond themselves has not yet happened
nor is on the horizon, IMO.

How has the project developed since the last report?
The project has fallen into a nice rhythm with respect to releases and has
gone through two additional releases since last report: 0.9.11-incubating
and 0.9.12-incubating.
The project website has been updated with documentation covering release
procedures, the acceptance of new committers, and handling of code review
via pull requests. Links to relevant ASF resources for PPMC members and
committers have also been added.
The development community continues to be engaged on the mailing lists,
and
a new committer, Nick Couchman, has been brought onto the project as of
2017-02-09.
Recent discussion on the mailing lists regarding graduation readiness has
been positive. The podling status page for Guacamole has been brought
up to date, and the suitable name search issue has been created:

development efforts (JSON support and ppc64le support).
How has the project developed since the last report?
Two of the "three most important issues to address in the move
towards graduation" from our last report in February have been
completed: The bug tracker was transitioned to issues.apache.org,
and the documentation now describes Apache Impala specifically, not
any non-Apache extensions. The documentation has also been posted to
http://impala.incubator.apache.org/docs/build/html/index.html and
http://impala.incubator.apache.org/docs/build/impala.pdf.
Many commits have landed since our last report towards increasing
the performance of metadata.

iota
Open source system that enables the orchestration of IoT devices.
iota has been incubating since 2016-01-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. An initial release of iota
2. Building a more active community
3. Consistency in the discussions on mailing lists/ steady flow of source
code
contributions
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?
We have had a few more people more actively engaged in the process. In
particular
Gunnar Tapper from Trafodian is helping us get a release out.
Omkar Prabhu and Rutvij Clerk have made commitments to help with performers
and
the release process. Barbara Gomes and Tony Faustini will be giving a
presentation on how to develop iota performers
(components for iota) at ApacheCon. This should get more people engaged
in development and use of iota.
How has the project developed since the last report?
We have started the process of a release. We have some cleanup to do in
the code base (e.g. IOTA-40). We also need to get Rutvij Clerk's GPG key
signed by an
Apache committer who is in the "Apache circle of trust". We tried to get
this done
locally but not been successful. Perhaps we become a part of the Apache
circle of trust at the
upcoming ApacheCon in Miami where Barbara Gomes will be present. We are
targeting a basic release by ApacheCon. We will proceed with this basic
release without a
trusted GPG key as it may not be necessary at this initial stage.

Apache MXNet
MXNet is an open-source deep learning framework that allows you to define,
train, and deploy deep neural networks on a wide array of devices, from
cloud infrastructure to mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for
fast model training, and supports a flexible programming model and multiple
languages. MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming
flavors to maximize both efficiency and productivity. MXNet is built on a
dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The MXNet library
is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and multiple
machines.
* A list of the three most important issues to address in the move
towards graduation.
1. Migrate code(GitHub) and website to Apache.
2. Grow the community:
2.1 Improving documentation including APIs & Tutorials.
2.2 Improving user-experience, for example improved error messages.
3 Establish a dependable, Apache-way consistent release process.
3.1 Features: New operators requested by user community.
Accelerate performance on CPUs and GPUs.
* Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
aware of:
Code and website have taken time to get moving on. The plan is to discuss
these with Apache Infra at ApacheCon and then get the code migrated in May.
* How has the community developed since the last report.
1. The community was engaged for contributions to API documentation and
tutorials.
2. Slack channels have been created for the community to contribute
discussions to (though they need to move to the ASF Slack channel that
was recently created).
3. In the last month, excluding merges, 51 authors have pushed 165 commits
to master and 180 commits to all branches. On master, 502 files have
changed and there have been 26,246 additions and 12,188 deletions. Count of
Closed Issues = 62, Count of New Issues = 146, Count of Merged Pull
Requests = 161, Count of Proposed Pull Requests = 27.
* How has the project developed since the last report.
On GitHub:
1. The API Documentation has improved.
2. More features (e.g. operators) requested by the user community has been
added.
3. Hardware acceleration like cuDDN6 integration and MKL ML package
integration was completed.
4. A new Perl language binding for MXNet was added.
5. Apache MxNet talk at Apache BigData North America on May 18, 2017
* How does the podling rate their own maturity.
Maturity = Low. Initial setup and adjusting community to Apache-style
interactions.

who were not invited to become committers until I asked about it.
That said,
I think this podling is maturing and nearing graduation.

Ratis
Ratis is a java implementation for RAFT consensus protocol
Ratis has been incubating since 2017-01-03.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Setup jenkins.
2. Make the first release. Release candidate for 0.1.0-alpha release is
out for voting.
3. Add new committers.
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?
- 3 new contributors joined. Total 29 contributors now.
- Ratis is now being used for a feature in Apache Hadoop, in a branch.
That adds to user community.

Slider
Slider is a collection of tools and technologies to package, deploy, and
manage long running applications on Apache Hadoop YARN clusters.
Slider has been incubating since 2014-04-29.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Apache Slider community/PPMC has voted to move portions of Slider into
Apache Hadoop YARN as modules. It is possible that the remaining pieces
will be moved at a later point in time or become obsolete or evolve to
work closely with YARN. Slider PPMC will decide what makes the most
sense as we progress through this exciting time.
2. Getting more external users
3. Growth of a diverse set of developers/committers/PMC members is also
crucial towards the final state of Slider
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?
Mailing list activity has been lower due to the bulk of the development
moving to an Apache Hadoop branch. Questions on usage and issues
encountered by end users keep coming at regular intervals, keeping the DL
fairly active.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Work continues in parallel on the Apache Hadoop yarn-native-services
branch and on the Slider podling. The bulk of the work has been in
yarn-native-services, while a few Slider patches (related to critical
issues or agent-only issues) have been committed as well. The Slider
community released version 0.92.0-incubating during March 2017.

SystemML
SystemML provides declarative large-scale machine learning (ML) that aims at
flexible specification of ML algorithms and automatic generation of hybrid
runtime plans ranging from single node, in-memory computations, to
distributed
computations such as Apache Hadoop MapReduce and Apache Spark.
SystemML has been incubating since 2015-11-02.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow SystemML community: increase mailing list activity,
increase adoption of SystemML for scalable machine learning, encourage
data
scientists to adopt DML algorithm scripts, respond to user feedback to
ensure SystemML meets the requirements of real-world situations, and
present
talks about SystemML.
2. Continue to produce releases.
3. Increase the diversity of our project's contributors and committers.
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?
Our mailing list from February through April had 350 messages on a variety
of topics. We gained 1 new contributor to the project since February 1. On
GitHub, the project has been starred 487 times and forked 184 times.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The main project has had 334 commits since February 1. 112 pull requests
have
been created since February 1, and 103 pull requests have been closed.
Since
February 1, 348 issues have been reported on our JIRA site and 249 of these
have been resolved.

Weex
Weex is a framework for building Mobile cross-platform high performance UI.
Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Move the whole workflow and infra into Apache (not the codebase only).
2. Develop more contributors and committers.
3. First Release while in Incubator.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
We are worried that only 1 mentor is actively helping us, as this will put
more burden on the rest of the Incubator to approve our releases.
Especially, most of active committers are not good at dealing with
license-related problem.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* We voted in 3 new committer:TianYi Ma, Tancy and HaiBo Song.
* There are 90+ new forks and 700+ new stars since last report.
* We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev
mail list. Up to now, 30 issues are reported on JIRA and 25 of them
are resovled.
* We have redirect github's mails to the commits mail list to have a
clear overview of our activity in the dev mail list.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* We are trying to release 0.12 this month. Both two RCs were failed due
to the license issue. This is major issue of project.

Comments: Technical development and sheer momentum is still very high,
and no concerns in that area. The move of GitHUb notifications to commits@
makes dev@ a more pleasant space. But I still have concerns that a lot of
discussions of what to do happens in office or other channels.

Posted by Werner Keil <we...@gmail.com>.

> Edgent
>
> Apache Edgent is a programming model and micro-kernel style runtime
> that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling
> local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming
> from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of
> all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in
> conjunction with centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides
> efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the
> center to the edge.
>
> Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29.
>
> Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
>
> 1. Create and expand a diverse community of contributors and committers
> around the Edgent project.
> 2. Checking of all items in the project's Maturity Model
> (
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDGENT/
> Apache+Maturity+Model+For+Edgent
> )
> 3. Although not required to graduate, it might be good to attract at
> least another independent committer/ppmc member.
>
> 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?
>
> * Three speakers will present their experience with Edgent at the
> ApacheCon North America in May 2017:
>
> * Video Analytics at the Edge: Fun with Apache Edgent, OpenCV and a
> Raspberry Pi - Dale LaBossiere and William Marshall, ppmc members and
> committers for Edgent.
>
> * Having fun with Raspberry(s) and Apache Projects - Jean-Frederic
> Clere.
>
> * Since the last report, 2 individuals have subscribed to the Apache
> Edgent dev mailing list. There were 65 subscribers as of the end of
> April 2017.
>
> How has the project developed since the last report?
>
> * Release 1.1.0 of Edgent as part of the Apache incubator was created on
> 17 March 2017. This represented 26 bug fixes and improvements,
> including more usage examples, application autoSubmit capability to
> IotProvider, support for publishing WIoTP device events using HTTP,
> and many others.
> * According to JIRA, 33 new issues were added to the project and 81
> issues have been resolved or closed between February 2017 and April

> A few exciting new features were added that will be in the next release :

> * Writing Fluo applications is now easier. Users only need to configure

> class separately. This change makes it possible to use Java 8
> Lambdas!
> * The scalability of Fluo was greatly improved by changing how it scans

> to O(N) where N is the number of nodes.
> * Multiple internal performance improvements were made.

All,
Please find the draft board report below. Please remember that this is an
open report, so feel free to add additional notes to the report directly on
the wiki ( https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/May2017 ).
To the podlings on the CC of this email, please note that your reports are
either missing or not signed off on. Please work to get your reports
submitted ASAP. It is a pretty high number - 12 podlings.

Incubator PMC report for May 2017
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
There are presently 60 podlings incubating. Podlings executed seven
releases in April, including the first release from ODF Toolkit in a long
time. One IPMC member stepped down in April, and one new member joined.
* Community
New IPMC members:
- Larry McCay
People who left the IPMC:
- Marvin Humphrey
* New Podlings
- None
* Retired Podlings
- Pirk
* Podlings that failed to report, expected next month
- Gobblin
- HORN
- Joshua
- Tamaya
- Toree
- Unomi
* Podlings presently missing sign off
- BatchEE
- Blur
- Edgent
- iota
- Sirona
- Slider
* Graduations
The board has motions for the following:
- None
* Releases
The following releases entered distribution during the month of
April:
- 2017-04-01 Apache Guacamole 0.9.12
- 2017-04-02 Apache Gossip 0.1.2
- 2017-04-10 Apache ODF Toolkit 0.6.2
- 2017-04-13 Apache Mnemonic 0.6.0
- 2017-04-24 Apache PredictionIO 0.11.0
- 2017-04-28 Apache Gearpump 0.8.3
- 2017-04-28 Apache Juneau 6.2.0
* Legal / Trademarks
- Podlings struggle with their first releases. There has been growing
asks to revisit the binaries in source releases policy as a number of newer
build tools rely on including a small JAR to ease the build process.
Several IPMC members have voiced interest in following up with legal in
this area.
* Infrastructure
- There were small hiccups with the Metron graduation that may need some
refinement between IPMC, Infrastructure and Trademarks/Press.
- The other graduations and Pirk's retirement went smoothly.
- In addition, thanks to some strong collaboration with Infrastructure we
now have a podlings [AT] incubator DOT apache DOT org to better communicate
with the podlings as a whole.
* Miscellaneous
- The new podling logo has been announced to all podlings. Some have
already implemented the new logo and it looks much better on websites.
- The new incubator website is being worked on, slowly. We may start by
simply porting the existing content and then refining policies.
- We have refined our processes to communicate out that rosters should be
maintained in Whimsy going forward. A formal announcement should happen by
ApacheCon.

1. Update documentation
2. Better communicate around the project (and its independance of TomEE)
3. -
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?
Not much but since there is not yet a new version of the spec it was
expected.

DistributedLog is a high-performance replicated log service. It offers
durability, replication and strong consistency, which provides a fundamental
building block for building reliable distributed systems.
DistributedLog has been incubating since 2016-06-24.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Continue to grow the community, and increase diversity of community.
2. Improve documentation, including documentation of project and
processes.
3. Successful releases.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

Edgent
Apache Edgent is a programming model and micro-kernel style runtime
that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling
local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming
from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of
all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in
conjunction with centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides
efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the
center to the edge.
Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Create and expand a diverse community of contributors and committers
around the Edgent project.
2. Checking of all items in the project's Maturity Model
(
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDGENT/
Apache+Maturity+Model+For+Edgent
)
3. Although not required to graduate, it might be good to attract at
least another independent committer/ppmc member.
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?
* Three speakers will present their experience with Edgent at the
ApacheCon North America in May 2017:
* Video Analytics at the Edge: Fun with Apache Edgent, OpenCV and a
Raspberry Pi - Dale LaBossiere and William Marshall, ppmc members and
committers for Edgent.
* Having fun with Raspberry(s) and Apache Projects - Jean-Frederic
Clere.
* Since the last report, 2 individuals have subscribed to the Apache
Edgent dev mailing list. There were 65 subscribers as of the end of
April 2017.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Release 1.1.0 of Edgent as part of the Apache incubator was created on
17 March 2017. This represented 26 bug fixes and improvements,
including more usage examples, application autoSubmit capability to
IotProvider, support for publishing WIoTP device events using HTTP,
and many others.
* According to JIRA, 33 new issues were added to the project and 81
issues have been resolved or closed between February 2017 and April
2017.

Fluo
Fluo is a distributed system for incrementally processing large data sets
stored in Accumulo.
Fluo has been incubating since 2016-05-17.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make an additional release of Fluo and Fluo Recipes.
2. Vote in a new committer.
3.
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?
A non-committer has made multiple code contributions to the project
recently.
We are discussing a release soon.
How has the project developed since the last report?
A few exciting new features were added that will be in the next release :
* Writing Fluo applications is now easier. Users only need to configure
a single observer provider class, instead of configuring each observer
class separately. This change makes it possible to use Java 8 Lambdas!
* The scalability of Fluo was greatly improved by changing how it scans
for
notifications. The work to find notifications was decreased from
O(N^2)
to O(N) where N is the number of nodes.
* Multiple internal performance improvements were made.

Comments: Fluo is comprised of ASF "veterans" -- they operate
themselves well. That "learn the Apache way"
part of incubation was there from day #1 because they
already "got it". However, they continue
to struggle to attract new talent (it is niche software).
There have been some publicity efforts from the devs, but
growing the podling beyond themselves has not yet happened
nor is on the horizon, IMO.

How has the project developed since the last report?
The project has fallen into a nice rhythm with respect to releases and has
gone through two additional releases since last report: 0.9.11-incubating
and 0.9.12-incubating.
The project website has been updated with documentation covering release
procedures, the acceptance of new committers, and handling of code review
via pull requests. Links to relevant ASF resources for PPMC members and
committers have also been added.
The development community continues to be engaged on the mailing lists,
and
a new committer, Nick Couchman, has been brought onto the project as of
2017-02-09.
Recent discussion on the mailing lists regarding graduation readiness has
been positive. The podling status page for Guacamole has been brought
up to date, and the suitable name search issue has been created:

development efforts (JSON support and ppc64le support).
How has the project developed since the last report?
Two of the "three most important issues to address in the move
towards graduation" from our last report in February have been
completed: The bug tracker was transitioned to issues.apache.org,
and the documentation now describes Apache Impala specifically, not
any non-Apache extensions. The documentation has also been posted to
http://impala.incubator.apache.org/docs/build/html/index.html and
http://impala.incubator.apache.org/docs/build/impala.pdf.
Many commits have landed since our last report towards increasing
the performance of metadata.

iota
Open source system that enables the orchestration of IoT devices.
iota has been incubating since 2016-01-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. An initial release of iota
2. Building a more active community
3. Consistency in the discussions on mailing lists/ steady flow of source
code
contributions
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?
We have had a few more people more actively engaged in the process. In
particular
Gunnar Tapper from Trafodian is helping us get a release out.
Omkar Prabhu and Rutvij Clerk have made commitments to help with performers
and
the release process. Barbara Gomes and Tony Faustini will be giving a
presentation on how to develop iota performers
(components for iota) at ApacheCon. This should get more people engaged
in development and use of iota.
How has the project developed since the last report?
We have started the process of a release. We have some cleanup to do in
the code base (e.g. IOTA-40). We also need to get Rutvij Clerk's GPG key
signed by an
Apache committer who is in the "Apache circle of trust". We tried to get
this done
locally but not been successful. Perhaps we become a part of the Apache
circle of trust at the
upcoming ApacheCon in Miami where Barbara Gomes will be present. We are
targeting a basic release by ApacheCon. We will proceed with this basic
release without a
trusted GPG key as it may not be necessary at this initial stage.

Apache MXNet
MXNet is an open-source deep learning framework that allows you to define,
train, and deploy deep neural networks on a wide array of devices, from
cloud infrastructure to mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for
fast model training, and supports a flexible programming model and multiple
languages. MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming
flavors to maximize both efficiency and productivity. MXNet is built on a
dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The MXNet library
is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and multiple
machines.
* A list of the three most important issues to address in the move
towards graduation.
1. Migrate code(GitHub) and website to Apache.
2. Grow the community:
2.1 Improving documentation including APIs & Tutorials.
2.2 Improving user-experience, for example improved error messages.
3 Establish a dependable, Apache-way consistent release process.
3.1 Features: New operators requested by user community.
Accelerate performance on CPUs and GPUs.
* Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
aware of:
Code and website have taken time to get moving on. The plan is to discuss
these with Apache Infra at ApacheCon and then get the code migrated in May.
* How has the community developed since the last report.
1. The community was engaged for contributions to API documentation and
tutorials.
2. Slack channels have been created for the community to contribute
discussions to (though they need to move to the ASF Slack channel that
was recently created).
3. In the last month, excluding merges, 51 authors have pushed 165 commits
to master and 180 commits to all branches. On master, 502 files have
changed and there have been 26,246 additions and 12,188 deletions. Count of
Closed Issues = 62, Count of New Issues = 146, Count of Merged Pull
Requests = 161, Count of Proposed Pull Requests = 27.

Slider
Slider is a collection of tools and technologies to package, deploy, and
manage long running applications on Apache Hadoop YARN clusters.
Slider has been incubating since 2014-04-29.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Apache Slider community/PPMC has voted to move portions of Slider into
Apache Hadoop YARN as modules. It is possible that the remaining pieces
will be moved at a later point in time or become obsolete or evolve to
work closely with YARN. Slider PPMC will decide what makes the most
sense as we progress through this exciting time.
2. Getting more external users
3. Growth of a diverse set of developers/committers/PMC members is also
crucial towards the final state of Slider
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?
Mailing list activity has been lower due to the bulk of the development
moving to an Apache Hadoop branch. Questions on usage and issues
encountered by end users keep coming at regular intervals, keeping the DL
fairly active.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Work continues in parallel on the Apache Hadoop yarn-native-services
branch and on the Slider podling. The bulk of the work has been in
yarn-native-services, while a few Slider patches (related to critical
issues or agent-only issues) have been committed as well. The Slider
community released version 0.92.0-incubating during March 2017.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
We are worried that only 1 mentor is actively helping us, as this will put
more burden on the rest of the Incubator to approve our releases.
Especially, most of active committers are not good at dealing with
license-related problem.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* We voted in 3 new committer:TianYi Ma, Tancy and HaiBo Song.
* There are 90+ new forks and 700+ new stars since last report.
* We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev
mail list. Up to now, 30 issues are reported on JIRA and 25 of them
are resovled.
* We have redirect github's mails to the commits mail list to have a
clear overview of our activity in the dev mail list.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* We are trying to release 0.12 this month. Both two RCs were failed due
to the license issue. This is major issue of project.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Comments: Technical development and sheer momentum is still very high,
and no concerns in that area. The move of GitHUb notifications to commits@
makes dev@ a more pleasant space. But I still have concerns that a lot of
discussions of what to do happens in office or other channels.

>> Incubator PMC report for May 2017
>>
>> The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
>> codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
>>
>> There are presently 60 podlings incubating. Podlings executed seven
>> releases in April, including the first release from ODF Toolkit in a long
>> time. One IPMC member stepped down in April, and one new member joined.
>>
>> * Community
>>
>> New IPMC members:
>>
>> - Larry McCay
>>
>> People who left the IPMC:
>>
>> - Marvin Humphrey
>>
>> * New Podlings
>>
>> - None
>>
>> * Retired Podlings
>>
>> - Pirk
>>
>> * Podlings that failed to report, expected next month
>>
>> - Gobblin
>> - HORN
>> - Joshua
>> - Tamaya
>> - Toree
>> - Unomi
>>
>> * Podlings presently missing sign off
>>
>> - BatchEE
>> - Blur
>> - Edgent
>> - iota
>> - Sirona
>> - Slider
>>
>> * Graduations
>>
>> The board has motions for the following:
>>
>> - None
>>
>> * Releases
>>
>> The following releases entered distribution during the month of
>> April:
>>
>> - 2017-04-01 Apache Guacamole 0.9.12
>> - 2017-04-02 Apache Gossip 0.1.2
>> - 2017-04-10 Apache ODF Toolkit 0.6.2
>> - 2017-04-13 Apache Mnemonic 0.6.0
>> - 2017-04-24 Apache PredictionIO 0.11.0
>> - 2017-04-28 Apache Gearpump 0.8.3
>> - 2017-04-28 Apache Juneau 6.2.0
>>
>> * Legal / Trademarks
>>
>> - Podlings struggle with their first releases. There has been growing
>> asks to revisit the binaries in source releases policy as a number of
>> newer
>> build tools rely on including a small JAR to ease the build process.
>> Several IPMC members have voiced interest in following up with legal in
>> this area.
>>
>> * Infrastructure
>>
>> - There were small hiccups with the Metron graduation that may need some
>> refinement between IPMC, Infrastructure and Trademarks/Press.
>> - The other graduations and Pirk's retirement went smoothly.
>> - In addition, thanks to some strong collaboration with Infrastructure
>> we
>> now have a podlings [AT] incubator DOT apache DOT org to better
>> communicate
>> with the podlings as a whole.
>>
>> * Miscellaneous
>>
>> - The new podling logo has been announced to all podlings. Some have
>> already implemented the new logo and it looks much better on websites.
>> - The new incubator website is being worked on, slowly. We may start by
>> simply porting the existing content and then refining policies.
>> - We have refined our processes to communicate out that rosters should
>> be
>> maintained in Whimsy going forward. A formal announcement should happen
>> by
>> ApacheCon.

>> that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling
>> local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming
>> from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of

>> efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the
>> center to the edge.
>>
>> Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29.
>>
>> Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
>>
>> 1. Create and expand a diverse community of contributors and committers
>> around the Edgent project.
>> 2. Checking of all items in the project's Maturity Model
>> (
>> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDGENT/Apache+

>>
>> How has the project developed since the last report?
>>
>> * Release 1.1.0 of Edgent as part of the Apache incubator was created on
>> 17 March 2017. This represented 26 bug fixes and improvements,
>> including more usage examples, application autoSubmit capability to
>> IotProvider, support for publishing WIoTP device events using HTTP,

>> Apache MXNet
>>
>> MXNet is an open-source deep learning framework that allows you to define,
>> train, and deploy deep neural networks on a wide array of devices, from
>> cloud infrastructure to mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing
>> for
>> fast model training, and supports a flexible programming model and
>> multiple
>> languages. MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming
>> flavors to maximize both efficiency and productivity. MXNet is built on a
>> dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic
>> and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of
>> that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The MXNet library
>> is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and multiple
>> machines.

>>
>> 1. Migrate code(GitHub) and website to Apache.
>> 2. Grow the community:
>> 2.1 Improving documentation including APIs & Tutorials.
>> 2.2 Improving user-experience, for example improved error messages.
>> 3 Establish a dependable, Apache-way consistent release process.
>> 3.1 Features: New operators requested by user community.
>> Accelerate performance on CPUs and GPUs.
>>
>> * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be

>>
>> * How has the community developed since the last report.
>>
>> 1. The community was engaged for contributions to API documentation and
>> tutorials.
>> 2. Slack channels have been created for the community to contribute

>> On GitHub:
>>
>> 1. The API Documentation has improved.

Re: [DRAFT] Incubator PMC Board Report - May 2017
Posted by Abhishek Tiwari <ab...@apache.org>.
Seems like deadline is tomorrow at 10:30am PDT.
Since our last report, except several internal sign-offs (with final two
remaining) - nothing has changed on macro level (ie. we are still close to
code donation but not yet ready to donate). So, can we re-use the last
report and submit it?
Regards,
Abhishek
