IPMC/Shepherd notes:
wave (Dave Fisher): I would ask what this project that has become core to
ASF infra with lists.apache.org needs to do before graduating?
+
+
+ --------------------
+
+ OpenWhisk
+
+ OpenWhisk is an open source, distributed Serverless computing platform able to execute application logic (Actions) in response to events (Triggers) from external sources (Feeds) or HTTP requests governed by conditional logic (Rules). It provides a programming environment supported by a REST API-based Command Line Interface (CLI) along with tooling to support packaging and catalog services. Additionally, it now provides options to host the platform components as Docker containers on various Container Frameworks such as Mesos, Kubernetes, and Compose.
+
+ OpenWhisk has been incubating since 2016-11-23.
+ Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
+ 1. Finish the remaining component source code release under Incubator
+ a. Release process/automation/documtantion are here https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-release).
+ 2. Increase additional company and individual Contributors to maintain all project repos. and address Issue / PR backlog.
+ 3. Close legal transferred of Trademark handoff for "OpenWhisk" name and logo to ASF
+
+ Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
+
+ * Issue backlog building on incubator-openwhisk is still a major issue (partly due to #2 above). As of this report, the "open" issue backlog is 384 (up from 365 as of last report), but open PR is at 35 (down from 55 as of last report). Please note this is just on the "main" platform repo. and likely is paralleled in other release component repos.
+ * Need to prioritize and work to reduce while advancing major proposals around restructuring around abstractions to accommodate running on Knative while enhancing support for better logging/scheduling and performance testing enhancements.
+ * Trying to add more active Committers to augment those who have dropped off in their activity; however, we have reached an impasse where potential new Contributor pull requests are not getting timely reviews/merges to provide a resume' for adding to the Committer roles.
+ * It seems that Apache Infra. will not provide us servers to host a staging environment that would help us perform needed staging testing on Pull Requests. This means that independent testing needs to be done by members (companies). We have explored a corporate donation as suggested (ala Spark and SystemML), but this does not seem possible at this time.
+ * No change in status since last quarterly report.
+ * Formal hand-off of OpenWhisk trademark/logo from IBM needs to be executed; need to identify process for this. See #3 above.
+ * Discussion started w/ Apache legal via "legal-discuss" mailing list with subject "Trademark handoff for "OpenWhisk" name and logo".
+ * IBM intends to hand-off ownership of trademarks at time of graduation.
+
+ How has the community developed since the last report?
+
+ * dev mailing list activity increased since Q2 driven by release-related activity and an increase in technical discussion on the mailing list.
+ * incubator-openwhisk Github stars: 3472 (+254 since last report)
+ * incubator-openwhisk GitHub forks: 652 (+36 since last report). Note lots of more competing projects entering the Serverless space.
+ * Slack community:
+ * 969 members (+151 from last report). Very active in most channels from both end users or the project and contributors
+ * To-date: 112,326 messages sent across all channels
+ * Analytics: https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/admin/stats
+ * The bi-weekly Zoom "Technical Interchange" continues to be well received and attended.
+ * Complete videos posted to OW YouTube channel and detailed notes to our CWIKI.

+ * Spencer Krum, Similar job as Justin, works at IBM as an advocate; wishes to become active in community.
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
+ Emphasis on these areas have been featured since last report:
+ * Google Knative announce
+ * The announcement of Knative has elicited LOTS of discussion on dev list and during interchange calls, as well as proposals on the Wiki, as to how OpenWhisk can better align/position itself relative to this Kubernetes (family) technology. See some of the proposal discussions:
+ * Knative, Kubernetes, and Apache OpenWhisk
+ * Prototyping for a future architecture
+ * Proposal on a future architecture of OpenWhisk
+ * Kafka and Proposal on a future architecture of OpenWhisk
+ * Simplifying configuring OpenWhisk Components (#3984)
+ * Naver has asked to be listed as both a project Supporter and an acknowledged OpenWhisk provider
+ * Logo added: http://openwhisk.apache.org/community.html#supporters
+ * Release process
+ * Please see incubator-openwhisk-release (code, tools, documentation), see demo (as of 2/28): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkqenC5b1kE

+ * Runtimes (i.e., NodeJS, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, Swift, etc.)
+ * The comm. is currently discussing how to align versions (i.e., rebase to same version level) for all runtime components (e.g., Java, JS, Python, Ruby, etc.) now:
+ * Re: [DISCUSSION]: Proposing to use 1.12.0 as the version for all runtimes for the first-t...
+ * Providers (i.e., Alarms, Kafka/MessageHub, Cloudant/Couch)
+ * The community anticipates producing a combined 1.x release (of all components at once) in the near future under a single tar.gz.
+ * Website revamp
+ * See proposal here (with proof that no information was lost in transitioning):
+ * OpenWhisk Website Redesign: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENWHISK/OpenWhisk+Website+Redesign
+ * Apache Compliant: Updated to be fully compliant with Apache standards: see https://whimsy.apache.org/pods/project/openwhisk
+ * Canonical starting point for all things Apache OpenWhisk
+ * Role-based
+ * The entire website was revamped and streamlined to include only current info targeted to 2 roles: Developer and Operator
+ * See Documentation: http://openwhisk.apache.org/documentation.html
+ * Indexed all content and added left-side navigation
+ * Provided initial "getting started" examples for all language runtimes (using CLI and wskdeploy
+ * Leveraged github repo content, and created proper linkage to further resources (no broken links)
+ * Assured we had no redundant information
+ * leverage CWiki
+ * In addition, we cleaned up (and organized) the project Confluence Wiki: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENWHISK
+ * and the Cwiki content now has proper ANCHORS that we reference from our project website.
+ * Media Adaptive Content: Verified website worked in all major browsers and on all device form-factors (mobile, tablet, and desktop)
+ * Security enhancements
+ * PureSec contacted PPMC about a runtime security vulnerability, Rodric Rabbah took the lead in addressing and followed the Apache process (as the project is mature for an Incubator project and we are aware that companies have OW in production)
+ * [CVE] CVE-2018-11756 PHP Runtime for Apache OpenWhisk
+ * [CVE] CVE-2018-11757 Docker Skeleton Runtime for Apache OpenWhisk
+ * Here is the Apache OpenWhisk project blog (Medium) explaining the vulnerability and how it was closed by the team:
+ * https://medium.com/openwhisk/security-and-serverless-functions-b97618430db6
+ * Scalability / Performance / Testing
+ * Presentation/proposals to integrate the Karate Web Service Test Framework into OW. Intent is not to overlap or replace exiting Scala tests but to allow Java developers the ability to submit new test cases more easily. See https://github.com/intuit/karate.
+ * Thread: OpenWhisk Karate Based BDD Functional and Performance Tests
+ * BDD Test Cases Contribution to complement existing test cases and coverage
+ * Runtime updates:
+ * New runtime for the Ballerina language: Proposing Ballerina Runtime for OpenWhisk
+ * Github repo.: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-runtime-ballerina
+ * Other Notable discussions/changes/issues/features:
+ * [Discussion] Use TransactionID as ActivationID
+ * Re: Proposal: Memory Aware Scheduling
+ * logging baby step -- worth pursuing?
+ * Pluggable API Gateways
+ * Re: AI Actions as a first-class citizen in OpenWhisk
+ * MiniWhisk: what you think?
+ * Proposing Lean OpenWhisk
+ * System overflow based on invoker status
+ * Add support for microkernels instead of containers
+
+ How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary.
