We added three new IPMC members, and none retired. There was one IP clearance in December. We have one new project Wayang. ECharts and DataSketches graduated last month, and Ratis and Flagon should graduate next month. Annotator and Liminal, which failed to report last month, have reported this month. BRPC did not report again, and a role-call will be carried out to see if there is still an active PMC. This month we were missing reports from BRPC, Livy, PonyMail and Weex. BlueMarlin still seems to be having some difficulty communicating on their mailing lists. They have submitted a report this month which is a good start. Liminal has corrected the issue with its unapproved releases. S2Graph will be retired shortly. Weex, who was considering retirement, has managed to get the needed 3 +1 PPMC votes for a release and their release is now up for IPMC vote. SAMOA currently has no mentors but given there's little, or no activity on the mailing list and no commits for 9 months that's not a big issue. The project will be encouraged to retire. Andrew Wetmore went though and simplified the language on many incubator site pages, including the policy page. There's a couple of missing links that still need to be corrected. The major licensing issue with MXNet has been resolved with permission given to distribute it under the Apache 2.0 license. There are still several trademark and branding issues that need to be addressedresolved. ### IsThe theproject PPMC managing the podling states it's brand / trademarks?

Their last release failed to get the required number of IPMC votes due to the difficultly in reviewing it. The previous releases containing Category X code still have not been removed (see INFRA-20442). Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases and graduations. There were graduation discussions around ECharts, Flagon, Ratis and Goblin. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - Ming Wen - Maximilian Michels - Francois Papon ### People who left the IPMC: - None ## New Podlings - Wayang ## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month - BRPC - Livy - PonyMail - Weex ## Graduations - ECharts - DataSketches The board has motions for the following: - Gobblin ## Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of December: - DolphinScheduler 1.3.4 - ECharts 5.0.0 - Gobblin 0.15.0 - NLPcraft java-client 0.7.2 - Nemo 0.3 - NuttX 10.0.0 - NuttX 10.0.1 - NuttX 9.1.1 - TubeMQ 0.7.0 ## IP Clearance - OpenWhisk IDE plugins ## Legal / Trademarks - MXNet license issue resolved - Trademark issues seem to be coming a more common issue with graduating projects ## Infrastructure - ASF's GitHub actions limits are causing some projects issues but this is being looked into by Infra. ## Miscellaneous - N/A ## Table of Contents [Annotator](#annotator) [BlueMarlin](#bluemarlin) [DataLab](#datalab) [Flagon](#flagon) [Gobblin](#gobblin) [Hop](#hop) [Liminal](#liminal) [Milagro](#milagro) [MXNet](#mxnet) [NuttX](#nuttx) [Pegasus](#pegasus) [Teaclave](#teaclave) [TubeMQ](#tubemq) [Wayang](#wayang) [YuniKorn](#yunikorn) -------------------- ## Annotator Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and humans.

I personally felt that the IMPC review of the DRAFT graduation resolution could have been better handled by the IPMC. There were a number of non-blocking items which were raised and which eventually impacted the motivation to graduate. It would be nice if Flagon could graduate as ther podling has shown excellent underatanding of the Apache Way and it's patience to mature as a podling. I will work with the Flagon PPMC on the next steps as highlightes in the above report. - [ ] (flagon) David Meikle Comments: - [ ] (flagon) Tim Allison Comments: - [X] (flagon) Furkan Kamaci Comments: ### IPMC/Shepherd notes: Justin Mclean: Looking at the email discussion I can't see how it was blocked, a few minor things were raised that were easily fixed.

Hop has been incubating since 2020-09-24. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. identify and resolve the last remaining incompatibly licensed dependencies (if any) 2. create a first release 3. grow the community ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? No known significant issues at this moment ### How has the community developed since the last report? - 3 additional committers, lots of committer and community activity in the last month - 14 new registered chat members (108->122) - 1 new subscriber to dev (21->22), 0 to users mailing lists (11) - significant follower growth on LinkedIn (309->321), Twitter (233->253) and YouTube (40->50) ### How has the project developed since the last report? Two releases candidates (0.50-rc1, 0.50-rc2) were created but failed to get enough positive votes. Hop will take the feedback and lessons learned from 0.50-rc1 and 0.50-rc2 to build a new 0.60-rc1. Summary of the 2 RCs: https://s.apache.org/06hws December was a very active month, with continued activity over the holiday period: - metadata perspective - look and feel updates - new transform plugins (UDJC, Token Replacement) - partitioned stream lookup - docker included, community activity on kubernetes - jandex-based plugins - integration testing - community activity on Hop Web - documentation updates Full details are available in the December monthly roundup: https://hop.apache.org/blog/2021/01/roundup-2021-01/ ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Julian Hyde and François Papon regularly check in and provide valuable input. We're sure our other mentors will step in for RCs after the holiday period. ### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks? There are no known brand and naming issues. The PPMC only uses "Apache Hop (Incubating)" as the official project name and has explicitly called "Project Hop" deprecated as of the moment of acceptance in the Incubator. ### Signed-off-by: - [X] (hop) Tom Barber Comments: I agree with Julian. The community is great, obviously a lot came from knowledge of the previous life and interest in seeing it progress which is good. The chat vs mailing list stuff is true, I don't follow the chat too much, just lurk but there is a lot going on there, not necessarily decision making but communication that could be missed for those who choose not to use it. Conversely I would say that a lot of the folk on the chat room are users as opposed to developers, and as such don't have to be treated in the same manner. Might be worth checking committers vs chat vs dev list? I suspect its probably pretty much up to date. Great progress on the software front, good to see it coming together. - [X] (hop) Julian Hyde Comments: Good report! I'd say you are through 'initial setup' and can uncheck that box next time. The community is going great, and I'm sure that the first release will happen very soon. One concern: the difference in the number of people on chat vs the dev list (122 vs 22). The traffic on chat is benign (e.g. no major decisions being made) but I am concerned that with so few of the regulars on the dev list, chat will become the de facto place to make decisions. Also I couldn't find a public archive of chat. I'll raise this issue on the dev list. - [X] (hop) Maximilian Michels Comments: I'm continuing to be amazed by the progress of the Hop project. There is a constant flow of incoming pull requests and the first release is nearing completion. It might not be clear to all community members but I've tried to only step in when necessary, e.g. give feedback to unblock the release process. - [X] (hop) Francois Papon Comments: The community is still very active and starting to learn the release process. For now, the only issue in the release is the license part and the team is focused on it to prepare a new vote. - [X] (hop) Kevin Ratnasekera Comments: ### IPMC/Shepherd notes: -------------------- ## Liminal Apache Liminal is an end-to-end platform for data engineers and scientists, allowing them to build, train and deploy machine learning models in a robust and agile way.

Milagro has been incubating since 2015-12-21. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Continue to build relevant and useful crypto libraries and applications for decentralized networks in order to grow the ecosystem of users and contributors to the project. 2. Continue to improve compliance with the Apache Way. In particular to update the Milagro website and other project sites (e.g. Whimsy) in accordance with Apache policies. 3. Further releases to increase the scope of the Milagro project, extend the capability of existing releases and to demonstrate improved compliance with the Apache Way. ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? No significant issues, however some administrative tasks around the project are still outstanding but are being addressed. In particular, a PPMC meeting has been proposed for 3rd February to discuss outstanding issue with a follow on meeting for the entire Milagro community to discuss the project's roadmap. ### How has the community developed since the last report? No change. ### How has the project developed since the last report? Work continues on the C and Rust versions of the core cryptographic library and on preparing the Multi Party Computation library for its first official Apache release. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Address licensing and trademark issues for the binary releases in the community. - ONGOING. Close to completion. See update in the next section. 2. Address release issues, improve automation for license checks, and make it easier for auditing. Successfully and smoothly make releases without WIP disclaimer. - ONGOING. 3. Improve brand management. - ONGOING. ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? 1. The community is fixing the remaining releases that have license issues. See summary below. 2. MXNet 2.0 first public beta, interoperable with NumPy, is on the way: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/projects/18 RFC: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/16167 3. The community is including brand usage reviews as part of the quarterly report process to proactively manage our brand going forward. #### Status on license and branding issues Most of the issues from last update hinged on the resolution of LEGAL-516. We are very glad that LEGAL-516 concluded that ASF projects compiled using NVIDIA’s CUDA compiler may be distributed under the Apache License 2.0, which unblocks many of the distribution practices that are essential to the wide adoption of software that utilizes GPU. We would like to thank for the help, the patience, and the leniency and flexibility that the incubator and legal granted us, and the numerous helps we received along the way from the ASF members and our community members from NVIDIA. Especially, I would like to thank Michael O’Conner and Triston Cao from NVIDIA for pushing this through within their organization. Based on the conclusion of LEGAL-516, binary distribution of CUDA-compiled Apache projects can be properly licensed as ALv2. In addition, the branding issues from distribution pages from Amazon, NVIDIA, and Intel have all been acted on. As a result, among the 9 pending issues from last update, 5 can be resolved. We are following up on the remaining items to resolve all issues in INCUBATOR-253. As part of our improvement in brand management, we are including third-party brand usage review in our quarterly reports and we will keep it as part of our regular practice beyond graduation. Status on open issues since last update: 1. Source and convenance binary releases containing Category X licensed code. (pending item 5) * Source code releases by the PPMC do not contain Category X code. Takedown and backfill of compliant binary releases by the PPMC on repository.apache.org is in progress, see item 5. PyPI releases are made by third-party. See item 8. 5. Maven releases containing Category X licensed code. (pending) * Takedown of binary releases on repository.apache.org initiated (i.e. INFRA-20442). Based on the resolution of LEGAL-516, the takedown (and backfill) includes those that include GPL licensed components. We are working on this in the infra issue. 6. PyPI releases containing Category X licensed code. (Resolved) * The third-party releases are compliant with branding guidelines since the releases are from official source code releases and are properly licensed with ALv2. 7. Docker releases containing Category X licensed code. (Resolved) * The third-party releases are compliant with branding guidelines since the releases are from official source code releases and are properly licensed with ALv2. 9. Trademark and branding issues with PyPI and Docker releases. (Resolved) * These release are compliant with trademark and branding requirements since they don’t contain Category X licensed code and are licensed with ALv2 based on item 6 and 7. 10. Trademark and brand issues with naming of releases. (Resolved) * There are no binary releases by the PPMC besides the repository.apache.org releases in item 5. 14, 22, 23. Branding and release of 3rd parties containing unreleased code. Known pages with issues: * +https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/frameworks/mxnet-release-notes/rel_20- 03.html+ (item 14, Resolved) NVIDIA switched to "NVIDIA Optimized Deep Learning Framework, powered by Apache MXNet” for naming. +https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07YW8HVLD?qid=1595741035764&sr=0-4&r ef_=srh_res_product_title+ (item 22, pending) PPMC reached out to Bitnami directly regarding this listing [1]. Bitnami responded but the page still needs update. We followed up again with Bitnami this week. +https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/search/results?x=0&y=0&searchTerms=%22MX Net+ (item 23, pending) PPMC reached out to AWS through internal channel to fix branding issue. Amazon intends to use AWS MX powered by Apache MXNet naming convention [2]. The naming change is in progress. After last update, for item 15, SourceForge further added a disclaimer that the page is an automatic mirror of MXNet’s GitHub tags: +https://sourceforge.net/projects/apache-mxnet.mirror/+. In addition, MXNet PPMC identified several more listings that require correction according to the branding guideline on AWS marketplace that are related to AWS Deep Learning Container/DLAMI [3], and they have all been resolved. From recent brand usage review for MXNet third-party distributions, we found several listings on AWS marketplace that need update. The PPMC is reaching out to the publishers of these listings for correction. https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B079225XXC?qid=1609989161134&sr=0-14&r ef_=srh_res_product_title https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07MP6Y8XT?qid=1609989161134&sr=0-17&r ef_=srh_res_product_title https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B073SHB43M?qid=1609989286506&sr=0-21&r ef_=srh_res_product_title https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01JJ31R8C?qid=1609989286506&sr=0-22&r ef_=srh_res_product_title https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07F3YBMT9?qid=1609989286506&sr=0-23&r ef_=srh_res_product_title https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B084FXK9XH?qid=1609989286506&sr=0-24&r ef_=srh_res_product_title https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B08L8H9NWD?qid=1609989286506&sr=0-28&r ef_=srh_res_product_title https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B08G8VXC1Q?qid=1609989286506&sr=0-29&r ef_=srh_res_product_title https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07C49CVC1?qid=1609989286506&sr=0-30&r ef_=srh_res_product_title Reference links [1]: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r1fabd3c081286b06b6e9c9283cb5986450f07d 52309db3b74bfe3a24%40%3Cprivate.mxnet.apache.org%3E [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rad72c3b39170da16e34e77536c0e3134f93 ed429b07ddd643a6fa5ba%40%3Cprivate.mxnet.apache.org%3E [3] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r3f95f5766e8f1ee8fbd8183720804afdc16 78f0149f56144da45f619%40%3Cprivate.mxnet.apache.org%3E ### How has the community developed since the last report? * The number of GitHub contributors increased to currently 948 (2019-10-08; +13% since last report) * Active blogs and social media presence * Medium (https://medium.com/apache-mxnet) w/ 2k followers (+3%) * Active video channels * YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/apachemxnet) w/ 1.33k subscriber (+4.7% since last report) * Chinese YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjeLwTKPMlDt2segkZzw2ZQ) w/ 6.43k subscribers (+2.3%) * (in China) bilibili space (https://space.bilibili.com/209599371) w/ 26k subscriber (+4% since last report) * Highlights in MXNet ecosystem * Dive into Deep Learning has 50K 28-day active users, and has attracted 28.0K stars & 333 contributors on GitHub.

Developing under the "pegasus-kv" orgnization gets us full control of the Github settings so that we can move faster. `admin-cli` is nearly completed and license-cleared and will soon be migrated to Apache. The three projects will all eventually be moved to Apache. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

We hope to provide a complete one-stop streaming data service platform: the system integrates a series of components in the form of plug-ins for collection, aggregation, storage and forwarding to build a complete data reporting service; based on this platform, users only need to publish and subscribe to data, and they can easily build analysis and applications based on streaming data; and TubeMQ will continue to develop in this project. ### How has the project developed since the last report? At this stage, we released the SDK of the Python language and the tubemq-manager module for cluster management. The tubemq-manager module is used for cross-cluster control to make the project more usable; we have also made a number of improvements in the function of the project, for details information, please refer to our project issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/TUBEMQ/issues. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
