# Incubator PMC report for November 2020
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 October, podlings executed 8
distinct releases. We added 3 IPMC members and none retired. There was one
IP clearance in September. We have one new project Hop, and no projects
graduated last month. Superset was up for graduation last month, but it was
submitted just before the board meeting, and there wasn't time to review it.
This month we were missing reports from Annotator, BlueMarlin, Livy,
S2Graph, Toree and Warble. Livy, S2Graph, and Warble failed to report last
month and Annotator didn't get sign off from its mentors.
BlueMarlin has bootstrapped after a long delay, but still didn't report.
A role call for S2Graph got no response and the IPMC will consider retiring
the project. SDAP and Weex reported after missing several reports. Weex is
considering retirement and Warble will be retired.
A new proposal Alita-validator is being discussed.
Progress on MXNet issues is still slow, with most problems being on hold
waiting for NVIDIA or legal JIRA's to be resolved. More branding and
trademark issues have been found, and their latest release didn't pass an
IPMC vote, and a new release is currently up for a vote. They needed a lot
of help with branding issues for an upcoming conference and were late in
asking for help. NVIDIA has changed their licensing terms, but the terms
are still incompatible with the Apache license. It's likely that the legal
JIRA will be resolved as Category X and that will mean that the project
will need to remove some of it own non-compliant releases from Apache
infrastructure and ask 3rd parties to rename releases. The IPMC has had
further discussions on what to do about the project.
There was a discussion on what criteria should be used to remove a podling
from the IPMC.
Some minor changes were made to the distribution guidelines based on
feedback from various people.
We had a slightly odd request from an ASF sponsor about IP governance,
which seems to have been satisfactorily resolved.
Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases and graduations.
There were graduation discussions around ECharts, Flagon, Superset and TVM.

## 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 added one last quarter and we have a
few more individuals that we have been considering.
2. We have created a draft Maturity model, which is undergoing review.
3. Prepare for Graduation. We have a Graduation checklist that we are
going through
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Public presentations since last report:
- ACM-KDD conference in August.
- DataCon2020 in Taiwan in September.
- ApacheCon 2020 in September.
We are seeing increased interest from scientific communities that
work with big data and platforms that want to use our code
(e.g. Apache Impala).
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We released a new minor release of C++: 2.1.0.
Based on feedback from our community, we are developing a Docker
deployable version of our library, which hopefully will be
released soon.
We are working on a brand new sketch as part of the Quantiles family.
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.
We are continuing to respond to new user's requests for help.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
Generally our mentors have been very helpful. However, a
little more help from our mentors on timely approval of
our releases would be appreciated. Our last release took
18 days to get 3 IPMC members to vote. We don't know what
is typical, but this seems a bit long. Please advise.
### 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

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.

## SDAP
SDAP is an integrated data analytic center for Big Science problems.
SDAP has been incubating since 2017-10-22.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Make official SDAP (Incubating) Release
2. Improve committer participation
3. Improve/create user guide documentation
### 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?
Thomas Huang delivered a (virtual) keynote address at the 2020 ApacheCon
@Home on 9/29 and discussed our creation of the Apache Science Data
Analytics Platform (SDAP) as a professional open source Analytics Center
Framework (ACF) and its growing list of NASA and international
applications.
The COVERAGE (CEOS Ocean Variables Enabling Research and Applications for
GEO, https://coverage.ceos.org/technology/#software) development team at
JPL completed an initial deployment of SDAP on European cloud platform,
WEkEO (https://wekeo.eu/). Paired with a previously deployed SDAP on
Amazon Web Services (AWS), an objective of COVERAGE is to enable joint
analytics leveraging geographically distributed SDAP installations that
host distinct yet compatible American and European satellite-based and in
situ ocean-related datasets.
Additional deployments of SDAP that are currently being maintained:
- NASA Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) (
https://ecco-group.org)
- NASA Gravity Recovery & Climate Experiment (GRACE) Follow-On (
https://grace.jpl.nasa.gov)

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?
The Training Project has opened up the commit permissions to all the
committers of Apache project to make is easy for experts in each area
contribute to Apache Training presentations.
This was announced in the last week of September 2020. This will open
up the project for contributions from other Apache projects.

Activity has increased since the last report.
There were 144 posts in last 3 months.
We have received queries for contributions from individual contributors.

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.
