[2nd DRAFT] Board Report for December 2014 - Please review
Below is the "final" copy of the report, ready to be signed off on. I
removed non-reporting podlings.
Can we get someone from MRQL and Brooklyn to sign off on those reports?
Brooklyn specifically has a *lot* of mentors to find no one to sign off on
it.
BTW, in my last email I incorrectly listed log4cxx as non-reporting. They
did report.

Ripple
Ripple is a browser based mobile phone emulator designed to aid in the
development of HTML5 based mobile applications. Ripple is a cross platform
and cross runtime testing/debugging tool. It currently supports such
runtimes as Cordova, WebWorks and the Mobile Web.
Ripple has been incubating since 2012-10-16.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
The community recently discussed the lack of growth in the project. Some
members felt that retirement of the podling was appropriate. Others have
stepped up to take over essential tasks and attempt to build a community.
We have agreed with mentors to review this situation in 6 months. It is
possible that Ripple is no longer important as its functionality is
potential being replaced by Cordova-browser. Our original champion, Ross
Gardler has also up to help evaluate the situation. For Cordova-browser
idea, there was also a discussion on the mailing list.
How has the community developed since the last report?
No new committers since last June 2014.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Minor user contributions.
Date of last release:
No release made as yet, this will be the first item to recieve attention.

--------------------
Sentry
Sentry is a highly modular system for providing fine grained role
based authorization to both data and metadata stored on an Apache Hadoop
cluster.
Sentry has been incubating since 2013-08-08.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Continue to grow the Sentry community
2. Initiate graduation discussion with community and address any
potential concerns raised
3. Update project status page, website etc
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 is growing. Several new members have started actively
contributing to the project. New contributors made a significant
contribution in patches as well as release activity. The user group
meetup at NYC was well attended. Community members presented Apache
Sentry at various community meetups around the world, include Hadoop
group meetup in Hydrabad, India and ApacheCon Europe in Budapest, Hungary
How has the project developed since the last report?
A number of new features implemented in the master codeline. The sentry
community is working towards removing some of the non Apache dependencies
in order to avoid any potential concerns for the graduation processes.

--------------------
Streams
Apache Streams (incubating) is a lightweight (yet scalable) framework for
ActivityStreams.
Streams has been incubating since 2012-11-20.
The project provides a framework for abstracting away individual data
schemas and API protocols from solutions built to collect, publish,
process, and analyze digital activity data, as well as a community-
driven process for determining best practice usage of the ActivityStreams
specification with real-world datasets - valuing working, tested,
adaptable, useful code over strict adherence to existing specs.
Importantly, the project does not impose one execution framework -
modules built to Apache Streams interfaces and coding standards may
be instantiated within multiple JVM-based runtime containers, including
popular ‘big-data' frameworks.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Establish and maintain a consistent release process.
2. Improve quality of code, tests, documentation, and examples.
3. PPMC must relieve project mentors of all responsibility for the
project's adherence to the Apache Way and long-term viability.
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?
Ryan Ebanks was voted in as committer and PPMC member on 10-17-2014.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Since the last report, 50 pull requests were submitted and merged to
master, 43 issues were marked resolved, and 78 issues were created.

Tamaya
Tamaya is a highly flexible configuration solution based on an modular,
extensible and injectable key/value based design, which should provide a
minimal but extendible modern and functional API leveraging SE, ME and
EE environments.
Tamaya has been incubating since 2014-11-14.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Project web site must be setup (ongoing).
2. Establish a collaboration model within the community and ensure a
common view on the main focus points.
3. Improve code base for being ready for a first release around Q1 2015.
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?
Many of the committers have successfully filed the ICLA and also started
to contribute, some of them already by doing first patches. Feedback in
the community was overwhelming. We could also successfully place the
topic at conferences as well as in the German Java Magazin and other
events. Also interest of people during the Zurich Hackergarten in
November was great and will definitely lead to additional committers
early 2015.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The project setup is going quite well. Initial committers are onboarding,
the initial code donation was successfully moved and other preconditions
like the project name, IP clearance, Jenkins etc. were successfully done.
Thanks to INFRA for their incredible support!
Date of last release: Still getting started.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

--------------------
Taverna
Taverna is a domain-independent suite of tools used to design and execute
data-driven workflows.
Taverna has been incubating since 2014-10-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. IP clearance to be signed by Univ of Manchester
2. Move source code, wiki, issues to apache.org. Restructure git repos.
3. Invite contributors who volunteered at October workshop
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Infrastructure bootstrapping takes a long time and requires a series of
requests. E.g. Taverna incubator has been approved, but does not get a
web-site without explicitly asking for it. Documentation for apache.org
infrastructure assumes you are already a long-term committer.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Transition of mailing list succcessful (? - can we get some numbers?).
Most of the proposed initial committers have sorted CLAs
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/TavernaProposal#Initial_Committers
and received apache.org account - see
https://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#taverna
Many of the remaining initial committers have not been active in the
recent years. We're following up these (and others) through private
conversations. There's been some confusion with regards to the term
"committer" - some were scared and thought it meant they had to make
a committment to work on the source code!
Not much further development - worried that dev@taverna are scared away
by the long-dragged bootstrapping which dominates the list.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Source code is being restructured at https://github.com/taverna-incubator
before being staged to import into git.apache.org
Normal development continues at https://github.com/taverna/ - due to
prepare the final 2.5.1 non-Apache release.
Stian Soiland-Reyes was at ApacheCon in Budapest, fruitful discussions
with mentor Andy Seaborne and Gavin McDonald from INFRA with regards to
the transitioning of Taverna's existing source code repository, wiki and
issue tracker (luckily git->git, confluence->confluence and jira->jira).
Date of last release:
No release since incubation.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
No new committers or PMC members elected since incubation.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
As noted the email list just been migrated and code repo setup, but
already show good signs of activity on the email list. Code
activity seems good so far although it's still on it's own github repo.
--------------------
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. Making release.
2. Growing community.
3. Source fixes/improvements.
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?
After some spike in activity we had a slowdown.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Some improvements were committed like full text search with Solr and some
more need to be reviewed/merged. We are working on making an updated RC
and plan to hold review/voting soon.
Date of last release:
not yet.

Re: [2nd DRAFT] Board Report for December 2014 - Please review
Posted by Kostas Tzoumas <kt...@apache.org>.
Hi Roman,
I sent the email to board@ last week after the incubator vote closed
following the instructions at
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#top-level-board-proposal
However, I missed subscribing to board@ first, so my email might be stuck
waiting for moderation.

Posted by Henry Saputra <he...@gmail.com>.

Re: [2nd DRAFT] Board Report for December 2014 - Please review
Posted by Roman Shaposhnik <ro...@shaposhnik.org>.

>>Streams has been incubating since 2012-11-20.
>>
>> The project provides a framework for abstracting away individual data

>> process, and analyze digital activity data, as well as a community-
>> driven process for determining best practice usage of the
>>ActivityStreams
>> specification with real-world datasets - valuing working, tested,
>> adaptable, useful code over strict adherence to existing specs.
>> Importantly, the project does not impose one execution framework -
>> modules built to Apache Streams interfaces and coding standards may
>> be instantiated within multiple JVM-based runtime containers, including
>> popular ‘big-data' frameworks.
>>
>>Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
>>
>> 1. Establish and maintain a consistent release process.
>> 2. Improve quality of code, tests, documentation, and examples.

>>Tamaya has been incubating since 2014-11-14.
>>
>>Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
