DRAFT report January 2016 -- please review
Incubator PMC report for January 2016
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 48 podlings currently undergoing incubation.
The end of the year was relatively quiet for the Incubator.
* Community
New IPMC members:
- James Taylor
- Nick Kew
* New Podlings
- Fineract
- Milagro
* Releases
The following releases entered distribution during the month of
December:
- 2015-12-08 Apache Atlas 0.6-incubating
- 2015-12-09 Apache Myriad 0.1.0-incubating
- 2015-12-28 Apache Slider 0.90.2-incubating
Wave's release candidate has set a record for frustration. It was
presented to general@incubator on November 3rd 2015, and still has only
one IPMC +1 vote over two months later.
* Infrastructure
Despite the heroics of Infra, JIRA's temperamental imports have
occasionally delayed migrations for new podlings over the years.
SystemML is the latest podling to experience difficulties.
* Miscellaneous
- The Log4CXX podling has no active Mentors, but a volunteer has stepped
forward. The situation is developing.
* Credits

2. Continue grow contributors beyond the initial set.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
No issues, thanks for your support.
How has the community developed since the last report?
The community is very engaged with the development of the project.
We see continuous uptick in mailing list participation (1392 messages on
dev@ for December, 86+ subscribers).
We have seen new contributors and work to integrate with other Apache
ecosystem projects such as Geode and NiFi.
The community has been active building meetup groups in various locations:

started a thread about the project's health.
Chris Nauroth (cnauroth):
+1 for concerns on lack of activity. Attempting to rally PPMC.
Julian Hyde (jhyde):
I have the same concerns about low activity level. Allegedly there is
*private* activity (re-factoring code to ready it for submission) but I
am encouraging them to show *public* activity as well.

messages on dev@ mailing list. It is an increase of 30% mom. With more
quality discussions around integration, features and release process.
3. There were increased participation in the dev mailing list pertaining
to new feature development and roadmap.
There was a request from the community about the roadmap and clear picture
of the vision. We have published the first roadmap to the community and
are working on it.

--------------------
Fineract
Fineract is an open source system for core banking as a platform.
Fineract has been incubating since 2015-12-15.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Push the initial source code to Apache
2. Inform the non-technical part of the existing Mifos.org community of
the change in project structure
3. Getting new committers up to speed on Apache processes and philosophy
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
None, currently.
How has the community developed since the last report?
The project just has started. All members of the initial community are
taking their first steps into the Apache Way. The larger Mifos.org
community is still operating as it was before, and is a mix of 'clients'
who use the platform and services provided by Mifos.org and partners who
leverage more on the platform and extend on it. Most partners have already
been involved and informed about the plans to become an Apache project,
most of whom are part of the current Fineract Apache community.
How has the project developed since the last report?
This is the first report.
Date of last release:
N/A
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
Given the early state and missing code base, no additional commiters or
PMC members were elected.

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 one new committer who works on the Chinese documentation.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The web site was moved over to the Apache infrastructure, and the
freemarker.org domain was transferred to Apache too.
Preparing for the first release from ASF, issues reported by Rat were
fixed, and the build scripts were reworked to give output that conforms
the release policy and conventions.
There were a few smaller pull requests which were all reviewed and
integrated.
As a side note, there's a yet unresolved legal/policy issue (INFRA-10787)
regarding if we can use freemarker.org as the canonical domain (while it's
served from the Apache infrastructure), or we must redirect it to
freemarker.incubator.apache.org (as it is now).

HAWQ
Apache HAWQ is a Hadoop native SQL query engine that combines the key
technological advantages of MPP database with the scalability and
convenience of Hadoop. HAWQ reads data from and writes data to HDFS
natively. HAWQ delivers industry-leading performance and linear
scalability. It provides users the tools to confidently and successfully
interact with petabyte range data sets. HAWQ provides users with a complete,
standards compliant SQL interface.
HAWQ has been incubating since 2015-09-04.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Produce our first Apache Release
2. Expand the community, increase dev list activity and adding new
contributors
3. Infrastructure migration: create Jenkins projects that build HAWQ
binary, source tarballs and docker images, and run feature tests
including at least installcheck-good tests for each commit (HAWQ-127).
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Everything seems to be smooth, nothing urgent at this time.

All good and healthy so far.
--------------------
Impala
Impala is a high-performance C++ and Java SQL query engine for data stored
in Apache Hadoop-based clusters.
Impala has been incubating since 2015-12-03.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Resolve any issues around use of Gerrit as code-review tool.
2. Movement of existing JIRA / Git / wiki / e-mail resources to Apache
equivalents
3. Initial release as incubating project.
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?
Slowly - Impala is still in the very early stages of incubation, and
performing the mechanical tasks of code movement and infrastructure setup
is our first priority. The holiday period in the United States has slowed
this effort slightly, but we look forward to picking up pace in early
2016. There have been no additions to the committer or PMC lists since
incubation began.
How has the project developed since the last report?
We have performed some of the basic initial tasks for incubation -
establishing wiki pages, Git repositories and accounts for the initial
committer set. Our next steps are:
1. Finalize the SGA from Cloudera
2. Move existing @cloudera.org e-mail aliases to their
@impala.incubator.apache.org equivalents.
3. Move source code from Cloudera git repository to Apache git repo.
4. Improve out-of-box build and test experience so that community can
easily evaluate release artifacts.
5. Migrate cloudera.org JIRA tickets to issues.apache.org.
Date of last release:
NA
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
At the time of the Incubation vote, 2015-12-03.

Kudu
Kudu is a distributed columnar storage engine built for the Apache Hadoop
ecosystem.
Kudu has been incubating since 2015-12-03.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Move development to the Apache-hosted git repository, bug tracking, and
code review.
2. Build a more diverse development and user community
3. Perform releases under the ASF
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
None so far.
How has the community developed since the last report?
- The development community has remained about the same since the initial
proposal, with overall code contribution levels a bit lower than
historical averages due to the end-of-year holidays.
- Xiaomi reported that they are now running Kudu in a production use case
on ~70 nodes ingesting 10B rows/day. This is Kudu's first known
production use case, and we expect continuing and increasing
participation from developers at Xiaomi.
- To spread the word about Kudu, various community members have given a
number of talks over the last 6 weeks, including: Strata/Hadoop World
(Singapore), Big Data Tech Con (Beijing), Shanghai Streaming Meetup,
Korea Big Data Think Tank (Seoul), San Francisco Spark Hackers, The Hive
Big Data Think Tank (Palo Alto), Charlotte Hadoop User Group, Cloudera
World Tokyo, Big Data Warehousing Meetup (NYC), and more.
- Members of the Kudu community met up with Apache Drill contributors and
built an initial version of Kudu/Drill integration. We anticipate
further collaboration with Drill and other ASF TLPs.
How has the project developed since the last report?
This is our first report since incubation. In the past month, we've
accomplished a few milestones:
- filed an SGA as well as ICLAs for initial committers
- granted karma, created mailing lists, and subscribed mentors/committers
- updated our web site to comply with ASF branding
- filed INFRA requests to start working on git and JIRA migration
(INFRA-10959, INFRA-10983)
Progress has slowed in the second half of December due to the holiday
season, but we anticipate picking momentum back up in January.
Date of last release:
None under the ASF. Outside of the ASF, we released 0.6.0 on 11/24/2015.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
None since initial incubation.

log4cxx2
Logging for C++
log4cxx2 has been incubating since 2013-12-09.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Activate some community
2. Create a release
3.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Not sure if the project still has an official mentor assigned, after
Christian Grobmeier is not the chair of the Apache Logging Services
project anymore.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Not grown. However, the project aims to become a sub project of Apache
Logging again. Community growth is not much a matter for this podling, as
long as there are a few active contributors.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Not at all: There's no public development and it seems there's currently
only one originally incubating community member left. Though some support
is given and bugs are tracked.
Date of last release:
2008-04-03 was the last official, pre-incubation 0.10.0

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
John D. Ament (johndament):
Project appears to be in bad shape. Even though there is activity on
the ML there is no mentor engagement.
Marvin Humphrey (marvin):
Christian Grobmeier has resigned as Mentor, and attempts to reach Scott
Deboy have not been successful. A thread was started on the general
list and there remains some interest in the podling. Bill Rowe has
volunteered to serve as Mentor provided that the contributors can rally.

MADlib has been incubating since 2015-09-15.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Produce a first Apache (incubating) release.
2. Expand the community, increase dev list activity and add new
committers/pmc members.
3. Execute and manage the project according to governance model required
by the "Apache Way”.
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?
1. Second community call held 12/18/15. On the call Roman suggested that
the MADlib community do a 1.9 alpha release in the near term. There
was general agreement and this is planned for January. A Release
Manager has not yet been identified.
2. Material technical conversations on dev mailing lists and in the
appropriate JIRAs. E.g., 51 emails on dev in Dec.
3. One new committer has been proposed and voting is under way on the
private mailing list.
4. Two comprehensive proposals were posted to the dev mailing list from
community members. One relates to the addition of geographically
weighted regression (GWR) algorithms. The second involves Bayesian
analysis of binomial response models for MPP databases, which makes
extensive use of MADlib’s new matrix operations. Both proposals are
under active discussion on the mailing list currently.
5. We have been accepted to present a full talk at FOSDEM 2016/Brussels in
the HPC, Big Data & Data Science Devroom on Jan 31. The title of the
talk is: "MADlib: Distributed In-Database Machine Learning for Fun and
Profit"

Mynewt
Mynewt is a real-time operating system for constrained embedded systems like
wearables, lightbulbs, locks and doorbells. It works on a variety of 32-bit
MCUs (microcontrollers), including ARM Cortex-M and MIPS architectures.
Mynewt has been incubating since 2015-10-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Do a first Apache release capable of producing a downloadable RTOS
image with support for multiple peripherals and network connectivity.
2. Develop and execute policies that enable project contributors to
achieve self-governance
3. Expand community - attract new project contributors and users, grow
committer 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?
1. Mailing list activity since last report:
@dev 52 messages (1 Dec to 5 Jan), 1 new subscribers (20 total)
@commits 150+ messages
2. Repo is being cloned and looked at by several outside parties - need
to get all interested parties on the dev mailing list.
3. Participation on the @dev mailing list covered a range of topics
including feature implementation approaches, coding practices, website,
and documentation rules discussions.
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Feature support: 2 new JIRA issues were created to facilitate feature
implementation and website discussions
2. Documentation support: Two new committers have started adding material
to technical documentation.
3. Effort towards community growth: We have redesigned the project website
to organize and present content more clearly and to highlight upcoming
events where the project will have exposure.
4. Effort towards self governance: Consensus reached on how a potential
contributor is accepted over time as a committer based on quality of
work.

Milagro
Distributed Cryptography; M-Pin protocol for Identity and Trust
Milagro has been incubating since 2015-12-21.
In view of the holiday season, it has only really started this week
(Jan 4th) and is currently bootstrapping.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Import the software.
2. Sign up the developers.
3. Audit the Intellectual Property.
All fairly meaningless until the Community is live at Apache.

Rya
Rya (pronounced "ree-uh" /rēə/) is a cloud-based RDF triple store that
supports SPARQL queries. Rya is a scalable RDF data management system built
on top of Accumulo. Rya uses novel storage methods, indexing schemes, and
query processing techniques that scale to billions of triples across
multiple nodes. Rya provides fast and easy access to the data through
SPARQL, a conventional query mechanism for RDF data.
Rya has been incubating since 2015-09-18.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Populate the website for the project
2. Expand the "how to" document to explain the ways new contributors can
become involved in the project, so we increase the size of the
community.
3. Become familiar with the release process and have a first release as
part of the Apache Foundation
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?
* We have documented (on Confluence) and tested procedures for committers
to review and incorporate Pull Requests into the incubator-rya Apache
git repository.
* The committers are becoming much more comfortable with the Apache
infrastructure and processes. Committers have been documenting processes
on Confluence, creating Jira tickets, tying these to Rya components and
versions, and submitting and pulling in PRs to resolve these Jira
tickets.
* The Rya user community (i.e. non-committers) have begun submitting
issues through Jira and the dev list. These have become Jira tickets,
resolved by committers, and tested by the community. Specifically, the
community submitted RYA-19, RYA-17, and RYA-6. Committers resolved and
the community tested RYA-19 and RYA-17.
* Non-committers have also begun submitting PRs that have been
incorporated into the apache repo. Specifically, RYA-13 and most of
RYA-7 was done by non-committers.
* We've started logging "beginner" Jira tickets. These are issues that
we've found in Rya that a new developer could take on as a good way to
"get their feet wet" in the code base.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* We've completed adding the Apache license headers and added license
header verification to the project's build.
* Resolved a handful of issues that users have encountered.
* Committed features: Delete support for secondary indices, more efficient
* Mongo Core and Geo indexing.
* Still working on creating a website for the project.
* Working on deploying artifacts onto Maven
* Working on creating a quick-start VM for users to try out Rya.

Something to watch in the future.
--------------------
S2Graph
S2Graph is a distributed and scalable OLTP graph database built on Apache
HBase to support fast traversal of extremely large graphs.
S2Graph has been incubating since 2015-11-29.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make a release
2. Attract users and contributors
3. Foster more and diverse 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?
* Project infrastructures (i.e., jira, wiki, mailing list and git
repository) setup has been completed, and the site and the source code
are moved to the Apache infrastructure.
* All members have submitted necessary CLAs.
* SGA have submitted from Kakao.
* There have been no new committers or PPMC members elected.
* We are discussing the development workflow and the code review policy.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* We are applying ALv2 header to all files and rat-plugin to audit them.

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 and PyDML algorithm scripts, respond to
user feedback to ensure SystemML meets the requirements of real-world
situations, write papers, and present talks about SystemML.
2. Core library improvements, including Apache Spark integration.
3. Produce a release
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The community has been blocked by INFRA-10714 since November.
Beginning Jan 6th, we are manually updating the missing fields in JIRA so
that we can properly manage project issues and delegate issues to new
users to grow our community.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Users have asked several excellent questions on the dev list, and existing
committers are actively helping these users. The project is receiving pull
requests from contributors, committers have discussed these pull requests
with their contributors, and contributions have been merged into the
project. Matthias Boehm has presented talks regarding the SystemML
Optimizer at TU Dresden, HTW Dresden, and TU Berlin. Fred Reiss presented
a talk on Dec 8th.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Numerous core library improvements have been made to project. Additional
documentation has been created to help new users. The test suite has been
refactored to increase maintainability and performance. Contributions have
been made by non-IBM contributors. We are developing our 2016 roadmap,
as seen in the "[DISCUSS] Project Roadmap" thread on the mailing list at
<http://s.apache.org/9hK>.

Unomi
Unomi is a reference implementation of the OASIS Context Server
specification currently being worked on by the OASIS Context Server
Technical Committee. It provides a high-performance user profile and event
tracking server.
Unomi has been incubating since 2015-10-05.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Improve documentation on the website
2. Make some incubating releases
3. Grow the community size and diversity.
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 got feedbacks from users and interested people. A good sign is that the
1.0.0-incubating release has been voted by people outside of the initial
committer set (even if the release vote didn't pass).
How has the project developed since the last report?
We did improvement on the website, and on the code. Our focus was on Unomi
1.0.0-incubating release. Unfortunately, a couple of issues (missing src
assembly especially) blocked the vote. We are fixing those issues to
submit a take 2 on 1.0.0-incubating release.
Date of last release:
Unomi 1.0.0-incubating has been proposed to vote, but due to a couple of
issue it has been declined. We are working to submit a take 2 on
1.0.0-incubating.

> How has the community developed since the last report?
>
> - The development community has remained about the same since the initial

> historical averages due to the end-of-year holidays.
> - Xiaomi reported that they are now running Kudu in a production use case
> on ~70 nodes ingesting 10B rows/day. This is Kudu's first known
> production use case, and we expect continuing and increasing
> participation from developers at Xiaomi.
> - To spread the word about Kudu, various community members have given a
> number of talks over the last 6 weeks, including: Strata/Hadoop World
> (Singapore), Big Data Tech Con (Beijing), Shanghai Streaming Meetup,
> Korea Big Data Think Tank (Seoul), San Francisco Spark Hackers, The Hive
> Big Data Think Tank (Palo Alto), Charlotte Hadoop User Group, Cloudera
> World Tokyo, Big Data Warehousing Meetup (NYC), and more.
> - Members of the Kudu community met up with Apache Drill contributors and
> built an initial version of Kudu/Drill integration. We anticipate
> further collaboration with Drill and other ASF TLPs.
>
> How has the project developed since the last report?
>
> This is our first report since incubation. In the past month, we've

> - updated our web site to comply with ASF branding
> - filed INFRA requests to start working on git and JIRA migration
> (INFRA-10959, INFRA-10983)
>
> Progress has slowed in the second half of December due to the holiday

Re: DRAFT report January 2016 -- please review
Posted by Marvin Humphrey <ma...@rectangular.com>.
SystemML and Log4CXX are lacking Mentor signoff.
It would be great if the SystemML Mentors could check in -- the report
looks very nice to me.
As for Log4CXX, this is actually the report from last month, which was
stripped out because it was lacking Mentor signoff at the time. The
appropriate conversations have been happening and there's no point in
stripping it out again.
Instead, I'm inclined to include the Log4CXX report, but ask the
podling to report monthly until they have active Mentors. Hopefully
their Mentor situation will be resolved within the next month (Bill
Rowe has volunteered, the community just has to rally), but we
shouldn't let it fall off the IPMC's radar. Therefore, I've set the
"monthly" attribute for them in podlings.xml.
