# Incubator PMC report for December 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 41 podlings incubating. In November, podlings executed
10 distinct releases. We added one new IPMC member, and none retired. There
were two IP clearances in November. We have no new projects, although a
couple are under discussion, including Wayang. Superset and TVM graduated
last month and Warble was retired.
This month we were missing reports from Annotator, BRPC and Liminal.
Annotator has reached out to the IPMC, added a new mentor and will report
next month.
BlueMarlin report mentions an unexpected release, and they still seem to be
having trouble operating as an Apache project. One mentor has given up on
them due to lack of communication.
Liminal has failed to report several times, but there is ongoing activity
in the project. It also seems they are making unapproved releases which the
IPMC will follow up on.
There was still no response from S2Graph, and unless there any objections
they will be retired shortly.
Weex, who was considering retirement, tried to make a release and brought
the release to the IPMC without the needed 3 +1 votes. They were asked to
find the needed PPMC votes. It may be that they do not have enough of an
active PPMC to do this.
SAMOA currently has no mentors, and little or no activity and the IPMC is
considering retiring the project.
TubeMQ is considering renaming itself to something else.
NuttX made a release that was voted on the IPMC private list as it
contained some critical security fixes.
There was no visible progress made on MXNet issues, and this will be
discussed at the board meeting. An active mentor retired, and a new mentor
was added to help them.
Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases and graduations.
There were graduation discussions around ECharts, Flagon, DataSketches and
Goblin.

## BlueMarlin
BlueMarlin will develop a web service to add intelligence functionality to a
plain ad system.
BlueMarlin has been incubating since 2020-06-09.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. DL-based performance forecasting
2. DL-based spend recommendation
3. DL-based Inventory allocation
### 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?
The following features were added to predictor_dl_model:
1. We added new features of user residency and user IPL (IP location).
2. We added pipeline and product tags to config file. Config file has
placeholders to resolve the names of intermediate tables instead of
having user to fill them up.
3. We pushed model-stats into Hive instead of Elasticsearch. This makes
the pipeline to create one set of coherent tables that are associates
with a pipeline run instead of having the artifacts into different
types of data storage.

Comments: The podling has not yet done anything on list.
The SGA was filed late October 2020 so they are just starting.
They do not have a repository or a web page.
They claim in this report to have done a release but there
is no evidence of this.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher - I resigned from mentoring this podling. They refuse
to discuss activity on the mailing list. They do not communicate.
They claim to make a release. This report is the first time we've
heard of it.
Justin Mclean - The issues to be resolved before graduation need
to be ones related to the community and how Apache operates not
functionality. I'm concerned about the release and comments by
other mentors. There are also section in this report that are
unanswered.
What can be done to get this project back on track?
Dave Fisher - There is no back. This podling has never been on
track.
--------------------
## Crail
Crail is a storage platform for sharing performance
critical data in distributed data processing jobs at
very high speed.
Crail has been incubating since 2017-11-01.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Grow developers community
2. Convincing use cases
3. Steady release cycles
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No reply.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
We got one new contributors. We are looking forward to see
him applying as a committer.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
A new contributor was working in the field of adding elasticity.
Elastic scaling is a needed pre-requisite to use Apache Crail as
an efficient ephemeral data store for serverless frameworks.
We expect pull requests for code integration in the coming weeks.
With added elasticity, a new release would be due.

## Livy
Livy is web service that exposes a REST interface for managing long running
Apache Spark contexts in your cluster. With Livy, new applications can be
built on top of Apache Spark that require fine grained interaction with many
Spark contexts.
Livy has been incubating since 2017-06-05.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Start preparing towards graduation
2.
3.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Apache Livy is a stable project that is used widely in conjuction with
Apache Spark.
It seems to have met its project goals and there is not much active
development going on as a result. 2020 may definitely not be the best
year for community activity and Livy certainly seems to have taken a hit
on this aspect. Seeking guidance from the IPMC/Board on what could be next
steps for the project. Its not very active but at the same time its not a
defunct/unused project.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Justin Mclean: As long as there is an active PPMC with at last 3 PPMC
members providing oversight the project should be fine. Is anything else
needed to graduate the project? Have you looked at the ASF maturity
model? I am concerned that users questions are going unanswered on the
dev list.

Justin Mclean: I suggest you reach out the the IPMC general list and
ask for more mentors. Given the low activity it may be hard to attract
one. Can the project point to me to where this development on adaptive
random forests is? There doesn't seem to be any commits for almost a year.
--------------------
## 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. Increase community activity in mailing list and commits
2. Make the product more approachable for new contributors and users
3. Develop a roadmap that focuses on delivering one use case effectively
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Not at this time.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
We're continuing to work 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).
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We've started regular weekly discussions around several topics, including
configuration management, authentication, and authorization models within
Spot so that we have a better backbone for adding more features and can
also backport existing functionality to a stronger foundation. These
discussions were delayed this quarter due to COVID and getting schedules
aligned relative to other workloads so we don't have any proposals
documented yet, but that is our next step.

more completely conform to ASF policy requirements for podlings.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
--------------------
## 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).
The project will likely start graduation process on the next couple
months.
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?
We attempted a new release, but while waiting for vote process to
complete the Incubator release process changed and we are working
on adapting to the new rules.
