Incubator PMC/Board report for Jul 2012 ([ppmc])
Dear podling,
This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator PMC.
It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly
board report.
The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 18 July 2012, 10:00:00 PST. The report
for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator PMC
requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to allow
sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, Jul 4th).
Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC, and
subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you
should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting.
Thanks,
The Apache Incubator PMC
Submitting your Report
----------------------
Your report should contain the following:
* Your project name
* A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the project
or necessarily of its field
* A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation.
* Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of
* How has the community developed since the last report
* How has the project developed since the last report.
This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/July2012
Note: This manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page is
created from a template.
Mentors
-------
Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the
Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the
project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator PMC.

Hi Alan,
I expanded a bit more under the "list of issues to address" bullet. Let me
know if you see anything else that needs to be added.

Previously, there was some concern about diversity of the project. It seems obvious to me that this is no longer an issue. I think we should stress that the project feels that this is no longer an issue with a specific bullet item or paragraph.
Otherwise it looks great! Thanks!

Alan

Re: Incubator PMC/Board report for Jul 2012 ([ppmc])
Posted by Joel Koshy <jj...@gmail.com>.
Looks like I don't have write access to the incubator wiki, and I have
requested it. Meanwhile, here is the content I have. Would be helpful if
people can review it to see if there is anything else they would like to
add:
Thanks,
Joel
Kafka
(introduced to Apache incubator on Jul 4, 2011)
Kafka provides an extremely high throughput distributed publish/subscribe
messaging system. Additionally, it supports relatively long term
persistence of messages to support a wide variety of consumers,
partitioning of the message stream across servers and consumers, and
functionality for loading data into Apache Hadoop for offline, batch
processing.
* A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation.
None. We are considering whether to pursue graduation immediately or focus
exclusively on the development of 0.8.
* Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
aware of
None.
* How has the community developed since the last report
- The mailing list continues been very active with bug reports, patch
submissions, feature requests and use cases. [(Apr,May,Jun): kafka-users
(151, 261, 251); kafka-dev (142, 195, 380)].
- Added two new committers.
- Conducted the first Kafka user group meeting with over 50 attendees
(archived video link available here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+papers+and+presentations).
This was a very successful event that gave users and contributors an
opportunity to meet and discuss Kafka usage at various companies, ongoing
development efforts, feature requests, etc.
- Received and reviewed several major patches (including contributions from
non-committers).
* How has the project developed since the last report.
- Intra-cluster replication (KAFKA-50)
- Considerable progress has been made on the design and implementation on
this much-anticipated feature.
- Regular status updates are being sent out on the kafka-dev mailing list.
- Another significant project that is under discussion and development is
the consumer redesign (KAFKA-364) and consumer coordinator implementation
(KAFKA-264).
- Released Kafka 0.7.1 in June. This is the second Kafka release since its
introduction to Apache incubator.
