# Incubator PMC report for August 2020
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
There are presently 46 podlings incubating. In July, podlings executed 11
distinct releases. We added 1 IPMC members and none retired. There were no
IP clearances in June. A couple of new podlings are still being discussed
and proposals prepared. One projects APISIX graduated last month.
This month we were missing reports from BlueMarlin, Liminal, NLPCraft,
S2Graph, SDAP and Warble. Two podlings that failed to report are new which
is concerning. Weex was unable to get sign off by its mentors. All will be
asked to report next month. This is the third time that Warble has failed
to report. As with last month, it's uncertain why a large number of
podlings where unable to submit reports, but it's likely to be related to
current external events. We've also seen more podlings needing to ask
mentors and IPMC members to vote on releases and fewer mentors voting on
releases.
MXNet is slowing working on its issues with ASF release and distribution
policy. But as with last month report, more issues have been found. The
project has taken steps to correct items in both sets of issues, but there
are still some outstanding concerns. There has been a constructive
conversation with NVIDIA about changing the licensing terms to be
compatible with the Apache license, and another 3rd party (DJL / Amazon)
has MXNet corrected branding and trademark issues. But despite this
progress, the MXNet PPMC seems reluctant to fix these issues promptly and
not is not following advice given.
An objection to guidelines on distributing releases on various platforms
was brought up at the last minute (despite multiple conversations spanning
over a year being held on these guidelines). This initiative has stalled.
Technically the vote to approve these guidelines passed, but until the
person clarifies or removes their objection, it's unclear how to proceed.
The person did not respond to requests to clarify their objections. If this
can't be resolved, it may require the board to step in.
The Incubator has organised a track for the upcoming Apache@home conference.
.
Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases and on
graduations and new proposals.
SDAP sorted out its subscription/roster issues, but Spot still needs to do
so despite multiple reminders.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
--------------------
## DataSketches
DataSketches is an open source, high-performance library of stochastic
streaming algorithms commonly called "sketches" in the data sciences.
Sketches are small, stateful programs that process massive data as a stream
and can provide approximate answers, with mathematical guarantees, to
computationally difficult queries orders-of-magnitude faster than
traditional, exact methods.
DataSketches has been incubating since 2019-03-30.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Adding more committers. We have just added our first new committer
since incubation! We have a few more individuals that have been
consistent contributors to the project that we will soon want to
go through the new committer election process. This is a big change
from our last report where we had no candidates at all.
2. Fill out the Maturity Model
3. Prepare for Graduation.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
We could use some help in finding people who would find working in
the sketching algorithms area really interesting and would want
to work with us to become committers.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
The word is getting out! We presented talks at the USPTO 2020 tech
conference and the Spark & AI 2020 conference, mentioned in the last
report, with lots of good feedback.
We will be co-authors in a tutorial on sketching technology at the
upcoming ACM-KDD conference in August with one of the world's
leading scientists in streaming algorithms and sketching.
We have been invited to give a keynote talk at the upcoming
DataCon2020 in Taiwan in early September.
We have been accepted for a talk at ApacheCon again this year.
We also are seeing a big increase in the number of single PRs coming
from a number of different people, especially for our C++ components,
which is very good news. This proves that there is growing
interest in the project and there are folks out there that want to
contribute to the project.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
See the releases since the last report below.
In addition we have made significant improvements to our website
thanks to some external contributors!
To the best of our knowledge all of our licensing and website issues
have been addressed and have been implemented in formal releases or
are in master-branch staging, awaiting the next release.

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
August, 2020
### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
Yes, in general. However, we do have to prod them with reminders
to check-off our releases. Our releases have been taking
longer and longer to get through the voting process especially
when it is in the 2nd IPMC phase. A little help here would
be appreciated.
### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
To the best of our knowledge, yes.
* Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings
name and brand?
As far as we know, yes.
* If not what actions has the PPMC taken to correct this?
We have not had to face this issue yet.
* Has the VP, Brand approved the project name?
Yes, and it is clearly stated as such on
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/datasketches.html

## PageSpeed
PageSpeed represents a series of open source technologies to
help make the web faster by rewriting web pages to reduce
latency and bandwidth.
PageSpeed has been incubating since 2017-09-30.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Grow the number of active developers
2. Enhance the release process: switch to github tagged release to
simplify.
3.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Mailing lists and git issues are active. The number of active developers
is unchanged.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The first incubator release has been announced after field-testing.
Furthermore, small enhancements are being contributed from people outside
of
the initial committer group. Major changes have landed on master: the
build
system has been refreshed to leverage bazel, c++17, abseil and Envoy. All
dependencies have been refreshed and sanitized where possible.
As a side-effect, some of the remaining issues from the WIP-DISCLAIMER
have
been addressed.
- MPL licensed source code for http date parsing replaced with our own
version
which leans on abseil. That part is all Apache licensed now.
- The no longer contains compiled code pulled in from dependencies.
A simple PoC port to Envoy has landed, as a first step towards running
PageSpeed
as a stand-alone sidecar service (where traffic of arbitrary servers can
be
routed
through it via transparent proxying or L7 routing).

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings

- As far as we know the brand is respected by third parties. We-Amp
mirrors the incubator site over at modpagespeed.com - but will work
on transferring the domain name to the ASF this quarter.
- It's not known if the VP, brand has explicitly approved, so that is
something we need to make sure about and resolve.

## Toree
Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
access Apache Spark.
Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
In my opinion, I believe Toree is one of those small but useful projects
that,
except for being very active, would be ready to graduate. Having said
that,
where there is an important issue or for voting new members and releases
the
PPMC show up and participate (see example of last committer/release
thread).
I have started updating the podling related artifacts such as project
page,
etc
and will try to start graduation discussions before the next report.
1.Increase active contributors
2.
3.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
None
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Similar pattern with a few Q&A on both Gitter and mailing list.
We also saw increased flow of questions related to Spark 3.0.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project has worked on the 0.4.0-incubating release, and
is adding support for Spark 3.0 which will be available on the
0.5.0-incubating release.

## Training
The Training project aims to develop resources which can be used for
training purposes in various media formats, languages and for various Apache
and non-Apache target projects.
Training has been incubating since 2019-02-21.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Promote the information about Apache Training Project with increased
participation from community
2. Create a tutorial on how the tools provided by this project can be
used to create own content
3. Review current policies around contribution review and releases to
find a pragmatic compromise
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Due to recent changes in work being done remote has led to change of
format
for many conferences and trainings.
The Training project can be very valuable in dissemination of knowledge
in this situation. We hope to adapt to new format of learning in this
situation.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Activity has increased since the last report.
There were 71 posts in last 3 months.
We have received contributions from other Apache projects like COMDEV and
other individual contributors.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
New training slides were added on three topics:
* Apache Hadoop
* Apache Hive
* Apache COMDEV
PR activity has picked up momentum since the last report.
### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
There are currently some issues with this podling that we are working to
address,
we believe that the issues are not yet critical and can be turned around
from within the community but want to make the board aware of this early
on.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
Mentors have been responsive and helpful when reached out to.
### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
The name search process has not yet been started, as there is still time
to
do that
if and when graduation draws nearer. The PPMC is actively monitoring usage
of the Podlings current name on other sites.
The Podling is not directly affiliating with any sponsors donating content
and presenting an independent image on the webpage.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher: I see no relevant email from the dev team on dev@ or private@
since March. There is activity on commits@ from git activity which means
work is being done. I think that there should be discussion about the
trademark issues on private@ along with a Podling Suitable Name Search.
