### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Decision to graduate or retire
  2.
  3.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
The project is stable and being used for its desired purpose by a many organizations and users. 
Without any pressing need for new features there is no active development happening.
If the project retires then its unclear how users would be able to get security fixes like the one that got release in Feb 21.
Seeking the boards guidance on this situation.


### How has the community developed since the last report?
Community is quiet with some user activity.


### How has the project developed since the last report?
We have new users, but the dev community activity is pretty low.

## Spot

Apache Spot is a platform for network telemetry built on an open data model
and Apache Hadoop.

Spot has been incubating since 2016-09-23.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Revive community activity (Discussion in mailing lists, increase frequency of commits)
  2. Create a new roadmap and release plan that will improve adoption
  3. Make it easier to contribute to the project (e.g. documentation, framework).

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

  There is confusing communication with the organization.  We submitted our quarterly
  report last month.  The final report from last month noted that our report was not 
  accepted because it was not signed off.  However, we read the minutes from the Board
  that said all submitted reports were accepted, so we assumed we didn't need to worry
  about a report for another quarter.  Last night at midnight we were notified for the 
  first time that our report was due the same day.  With less than 24 hours notice, it 
  seems unlikely we'll be able to get sign-off from our mentor.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

  We're continuing to solidify a short term and long term on a roadmap with the community 
  that will allow more contributors to focus and work on different levels of the project 
  (i.e. data modeling and schema design, use-cases, ingestion, ml, ui, dev ops, docs, etc). 
  These discussions have been delayed this quarter due to COVID and getting schedules aligned 
  relative to other workloads.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

  The master branch of Apache Spot was largely developed for commercial but freely 
  available Hadoop software (i.e. Cloudera, Hortonworks) that now have been either 
  End of Life’d (or will be in 2022) in favor of the newer Cloudera Data Platform 
  (CDP), or have been put behind a paywall to get updates. The cloud provider 
  landscape has also changed drastically in the last few years and it's time that 
  we start looking at better support for Quickstart options in each major cloud 
  providers so we can further develop the project for the community with wider 
  platform support, and give committers better options for creating development 
  environments to more efficiently contribute to the project.

  The following topics are planned for the next set of discussions with the community 
  to determine what we focus on for the next several quarters:

  * Add more native support on cloud infrastructure and software (i.e. AWS, Azure, GCP)
    * In the short-term we can focus on AWS EMR on standing up Spot and fixing any issues 
      related to getting the software installed and working.  
    * In the long term we will want to support several cloud providers and on-premise 
      options depending on the interest of the community.  
  * Add an infrastructure module to Spot to automate creating clusters in each providers 
    we plan to support.  
    * Initially we can focus on Cloudformation support with AWS EMR.  
    * Our goal will be to generalize further in the long term with Terraform across each 
      provider.
  * Investigate and explore alternative replacement for Spot UI (i.e. Apache Supersets)
    * In the short-term Apache Supersets may give us a basic authentication and visualization 
      layer into the data landed and processed by Spot.
    * In the long-term we will need to develop a more comprehensive security and use-case 
      roadmap for the UI and determine if it makes sense to develop something from scratch.

  The next step will be to create Jira Epic’s and tasks for these items so we can start to distribute the work across the community.

## Wayang

Wayang is a cross-platform data processing system that aims at decoupling
the business logic of data analytics applications from concrete data
processing platforms, such as Apache Flink or Apache Spark. Hence, it tames
the complexity that arises from the "Cambrian explosion" of novel data
processing platforms that we currently witness.

Wayang has been incubating since 2020-12-16.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Educate the new PPMCs to be able to do Apache releases
  2. Do our first Apache release
  3. Grow the community

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?


### How has the community developed since the last report?


### How has the project developed since the last report?


 be aware of?

Until the moment of this report it was created and didn't have any issue, because all the important issues got solved.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

The community members are in the applying process to present in a few conferences to show Apache Wayang to the Processing Platform Community and other communities that could be interested in the project.

Also, different members of the community had meetings with possible contributors, however, nothing is concrete until the writing point of the report.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

The main focus is the first release. The team is focusing on cleaning the code, refactoring some parts and preparing the documentation. However, it is taking more time than the estimated one, but the community members are pushing to have it done as soon as possible.
