## Nemo

Nemo is a data processing system to flexibly control the runtime behaviors
of a job to adapt to varying deployment characteristics.

Nemo has been incubating since 2018-02-04.

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

  1. Motivate growth in the community
  2. Address remaining items before graduation   

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

  The issue raised in our previous podling report (Dec. 2023) still exists. This is a project initiated from academia, and many of the committers have graduated with their degree and moved
  on to something else. The project itself is very promising, known that many outstanding academic papers have been developed on top of Apache Nemo [1-5], so it would be ideal 
  if it finds its purpose, however it seems quite challenging at this particular moment. It is quite disappointing to see the project lose its momentum during the covid-19 
  pandemics, which made it extremely challenging for us to build the community. Nevertheless, the project itself, I believe, deserved to be in the TLP, but it seems like if 
  there is no breakpoint for the project regarding the project community, I think we could start discussing about sending it to the attic. Any suggestions or opinions are welcome!
