## AGE

AGE is a multi-model database that enables graph and relational models built
on PostgreSQL.

AGE has been incubating since 2020-04-29.

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

  1.
  2.
  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?
are presently 45 podlings incubating. In June, podlings executed 8 
distinct releases. We added no new IPMC members and two retired.

There was one IP clearance in June. There is one new podling Pegasus, 
HBlock is still being discussed, and one new proposal is being prepared. No 
projects graduated last month.

This month we were missing reports from AGE, Annotator, Livy, Warble
and  Weex. All will be asked to report next month. This is the second time 
that Warble has failed to report. It's uncertain why a large number of
podling failed to report but it's likely to be related to current external
events.

As reported last month, MXNet podling releases and download page were not 
in line with ASF release and distribution policy. Since then, further 
issues have been found, as well as trademark and branding issues. The 
project has taken steps to correct these issues, but there are still some 
outstanding concerns. There may not be an active PPMC, as only two people 
seem to be dealing with the issues.

There is currently an ongoing conversation on providing clear guidance to 
podlings who want to distribute releases on various platforms. This 
guidance has existed for some time but has been marked draft.

The Incubator will organise a track at the upcoming Apache@home conference.

A couple of mentors have been added and removed from projects.

Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases and release and 
header policy graduations and new proposals.

Two podlings SDAP and Spot still need to sort out their roster and private 
mailing list subscriptions. They have been reminded again to correct this.

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

  APISIX have already completed all issue, here is a review since the last 
  report.
  1. We released APISIX 1.2, APISIX 1.3, those release are done by 
  twenty-eight contributors
  2. We added five committers and two PPMC members
  3. Resolved branding issues, such as:
    - The website(http://apisix.apache.org/) shows more clearly that it is 
    an Apache incubator project
  	- The APISIX luarocks package site shows more clearly that itis an 
    Apache incubator project
  	- Removed external links in github's readme document

### 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?
  - We have released APISIX 1.2, APISIX 1.3,
  which brings more new features to APISIX and makes APISIX more 
  user-friendly,
  such as support for ETCD cluster, support for CORS, etc.,
  please check CHANGELOG for details
  - Since the last report, APISIX has elected two PPMC members and five 
  committers.
  Now APISIX has a total of 23 committers and 85 contributors.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
  APISIX developed very quickly in the first half of 2020.
  We elected two PPMC members and five commiters,
  as well as a large number of new features and performance improvements,
  such as support for etcd clusters, support for CORS, etc.
  For details, please see CHANGELOG.
  Currently, APISIX is ready to release APISIX 1.4,
  and prepare for APISIX 1.5.
  At the same time, APISIX's new Dashboard is also under
  development and will soon be put into production.
  It will bring a more stable and easier-to-use management experience for 
  APISIX.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

--------------------
## Liminal

Apache Liminal is an end-to-end platform for data engineers & scientists, 
allowing them to build, train and deploy machine learning models in a 
robust and agile way. The platform provides the abstractions and 
declarative capabilities for data extraction & feature engineering followed 
by model training and serving. Apache Liminal's goal is to operationalise 
the machine learning process, allowing data scientists to quickly 
transition from a successful experiment to an automated pipeline of model 
training, validation, deployment and inference in production, freeing them 
from engineering and non-functional tasks, and allowing them to focus on 
machine learning code and artifacts.

Liminal has been incubating since 2020-05-23.

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

  1. Bootstrapping resources and code donation
  2. Building community
  3. First release

### 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?

  Liminal is in early incubator stage, creation of resources has been done 
  (gitbox, jira, etc).
  The initial committer list submits ICLA and we are preparing the code 
  donation.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

  This is the first report for Liminal.

## Milagro

Milagro is core security infrastructure and crypto libraries for
decentralized networks and distributed systems.

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, similar to the last report, several
  administrative aspects of the project still have not been dealt with
  (updating Whimsy, countersigning code signing keys, checking download
  links, confirming brand/trademark compliance etc.).  In addition to
  this, the private mailing list subscriber list needs clearing of any
  non-PPMC members and Kirk Baird still needs to be officially added
  to the list of committers.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

  No change.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

  Development has progressed on the Multi Party Computation (MPC) library
  working towards an official release.  The library has been successfully
  reviewed by the NCC Group and renowned cryptographer Dr. Michael Scott.
  Their recommendations have been implemented and their reports will be
  added to the library prior to release.  There are plans to improve upon
  the library post release - in particular to extend the capability from
  a 2 of 2 threshold to an arbitrary m of n threshold.

  Development has also progressed on the version of the core cryptographic
  library written in Rust.  More work is required for this to be in a
  release ready state.

## MXNet

A Flexible and Efficient Library for Deep Learning

MXNet has been incubating since 2017-01-23.

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

  1. Address licensing and trademark issues for the binary releases in the
  community.
  - ONGOING. See update in the next section.
  2. Address release issues. Successfully and smoothly make releases
  without WIP disclaimer.
  - ONGOING.
  3. Improve development process and tooling to help reduce the overhead of
  releases
  - ONGOING.

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

  1. Binary Distribution Licensing Issue
  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

#### Issues with releases and distributions

##### Background
  In May 2020 The MXNet PPMC has proactively initiated a ASF policy 
  compliance
  review [1] and a license review [2] with the Apache Legal team.

  The license review uncovered that

  - Building unmodified MXNet release source code with the optional NVidia 
  GPU
  support enabled results in a binary subject to restrictions of NVidia 
  EULA.
  - PPMC members and committers uploaded convenience releases to
  repository.apache.org which contain Category-X components. Both GPL and
  NVidia EULA components were found.

  The policy review uncovered that:

  - Prior ASF guidance to the PPMC (December 2018 legal review [3]) was
  incomplete
  and did not include a reference to the "unwritten" rule that convenience
  binary distributions created by third-parties using ASF Trademarks must 
  not
  include Category-X components. Based on this discovery, the Draft 
  Downstream
  Distribution Branding Policy was updated in June 2020 to include the
  "unwritten" requirement. Based on the updated guidance, PPMC discovered
  various third-party trademark infringements.

  The policy review did not yet conclude on the questions if

  - The PPMC may create nightly development builds (audience restricted to 
  dev
  list subscribers as per Release policy [4]) for the purpose of testing and
  developing MXNet;

##### List of issues and their status

  Justin classified the issues into 14 items.

  1) Source and convenance binary releases containing Category X licensed
  code.

  See summary from license review in Background section. Source code 
  releases do
  not contain Category X code; Takedown of binary releases on
  repository.apache.org is pending on Apache Infra. (Trademark infringements
  of 3rd-parties such as on pypi are discussed separately)

  2. Website giving access to downloads of non released/unapproved code.

  Website contained links to nightly development builds which have been
  removed [5];
  Going forward the PPMC intends to begin periodical voting on Alpha and 
  Beta Releases which will then be linked from the website.

  3. Website giving access to releases containing Category X licensed code.

  Website contained links to third-party distributions incorporating
  Category-X
  components (see summary from license review above). Disclaimers were added
  to the website clarifying the third-party status of the releases and their
  licenses. [5]

  4. Web site doesn't given enough warning to users of the issues with non
  (P)PMC releases or making it clear that these are not ASF releases.

  Website contained links to third-party distributions incorporating
  Category-X
  components (see summary from license review above). Disclaimers were added
  to the website clarifying the third-party status of the releases and their
  licenses. [5]

  5. Maven releases containing Category X licensed code.

  See summary from license review in Background section. Source code 
  releases do
  not contain Category X code; Takedown of binary releases on
  repository.apache.org is pending on Apache Infra. [6] (Trademark
  infringements of 3rd-parties are discussed separately)

  6. PyPI releases containing Category X licensed code.

  There are no PiPy releases by the PPMC. Please refer to the trademark
  infringement section of the report.

  7. Docker releases containing Category X licensed code.

  There are no Docker releases by the PPMC. Please refer to the trademark
  infringement section of the report.

  8. Docker releases containing unreleased/unapproved code.

  There are no Docker releases by the PPMC. The existence of third-party
  releases
  containing unreleased code was approved in [3] and is also in line with 
  the current Downstream Distribution Branding Draft Policy. ("using any
  particular revision from the development branch is OK" [3])

  9. Trademark and branding issues with PiPy and Docker releases.

  There are no PiPy releases by the PPMC. Please refer to the trademark
  infringement section of the report.

  10. Trademark and brand issues with naming of releases.

  There are no binary releases by the PPMC besides the repository.apache.org
  releases discussed above, which are being removed.
  Please refer to the trademark infringement section of
  the report.

  11. Developer releases available to users and public searchable
  https://repo.mxnet.io / https://dist.mxnet.io

  Links to the nightly development builds were removed from the MXNet 
  website and
  a robot.txt file was added to prevent indexing of the sites. These 
  websites are removed from Google search index.

  12. Releases and other nightly builds on
  https://repo.mxnet.io / https://dist.mxnet.io containing category X
  licensed code.

  Neither of the two site contains Releases. It is an open question of the
  policy
  review (see Background section above) if nightly development builds may or
  may not contain Category X components.

  13. Lack of clarity on all platforms for what is an ASF release and what 
  is not.

  https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/releases?after=1.2.0 previously
  did not distinguish MXNet releases prior to MXNet joining the Incubator.
  Disclaimers
  were added. Other PPMC platforms do not contain references to non-ASF
  releases
  (MXNet releases made prior to MXNet joining the ASF). The PPMC is aware of
  old third-party releases created prior to MXNet joining the ASF which are
  still
  available, but can be clearly separated from the ASF MXNet releases due to
  the lack of reference to the Apache foundation. PPMC was able to find an
  exemplar
  such release at [7]. If there are concerns from the Incubator, PPMC can
  request
  the third-parties to take down these releases, as editing their 
  Description to include
  references to events (MXNet joining Apache) is not
  supported due to immutability constraints. [8]

  14. Branding and release of 3rd parties containing unreleased code.
  (e.g.


  https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/frameworks/mxnet-release-notes/rel_20-0
  3.html)

### Date of last release:

  2020-02-20

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

  2020-03-02

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

  Yes. In particular, Bob has provided guidance on the license and 
  trademark issue.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

  PPMC notes that there are multiple trademark infringements based on both 
  the redistribution of MXNet with addition of unreleased code and the
  redistribution of MXNet with Category-X GPL and Category-X NVidia
  components. PPMC intends to handle both issues separately.

#### Unauthorized redistribution of unreleased code by third-parties

  PPMC members have reached out to the offending third parties (Nvidia
  Corporation
  and Amazon Web Services) via inofficial channels and notified them of the
  problem. If the problem is not resolved by the end of July 2020, PPMC will
  request guidance from the Brand Management Team on how to formally notify
  the offenders of their trademark infringement.

#### Unauthorized redistribution of Category-X GPL and NVidia CUDA EULA 
  components by third-parties

  PPMC members note that the issue of "NVidia CUDA EULA infecting any
  application
  built with CUDA support" is an industry-wide problem. PPMC is not aware of
  any individual or corporation correctly labeling their binary 
  distributions
  subject
  to the NVidia CUDA EULA. Instead, PPMC found that for example Facebook
  claims distribution of PyTorch under BSD License (BSD-3) and Google claims
  distribution of Tensorflow under Apache 2.0 License, despite both being
  subject to the CUDA EULA. Thus, PPMC has contacted NVidia Corporation and 
  requested
  NVidia Corporation to add clarifying language that applications based on 
  the CUDA SDK with material additional functionality may be licensed under
  a license
  of the application owner's choice, consistent with existing industry
  "practice".
  The issue was also discussed with NVidia and other Deep Learning Framework
  implementers during the Nvidia Deep Learning Framework Developer Council
  meeting,
  during which NVidia promised to conclude their internal review and 
  follow-up with the PPMC.

  PPMC thus recommends to give NVidia the chance to clarify and improve 
  their
  license. As NVidia employs a team for working on MXNet, the PPMC is
  optimistic
  about receiving a detailed clarification and resolution from NVidia.

  If NVidia fails to clarify their license or the resolution is 
  unsatisfactory
  within Q3 2020, the PPMC will notify any third-parties about their license
  infringement and ask them to take down or rename their redistributions
  containing Category-X pieces.

  Due the substantial overhead of trademark-infringement takedown notices 
  for any
  involved party, PPMC is further awaiting NVidia's clarification prior to
  contacting third-parties about trademark infringement due to inclusion of
  GPL
  components. This is to avoid sending two separate takedown notices in case
  of an unsatisfactory response by NVidia.

  The following downstream software distributors are known to the PPMC to be
  using the name MXNet while redistributing Category-X components

  - pypi.org
  - hub.docker.com
  - ngc.nvidia.com
  - aws.amazon.com

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
  Justin Mclean: Good to see progress on these issues. But I have two concerns
  a) you may not have an active PPMC b) branding all release as "3rd party" may
  not be the best way to solve the issue. Hopefully the license discussion will
  be fruitful.

  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 have onboarded new contributers in the past quarter, who are very
  excited to help us increase our capacity to address issues and move
  us to a new level of maturity.  One of the new contributers has adopted
  the responsibility of secretary and ensuring process compliance and 
  improvement for the project facing Apache leadership. 

  We have continued to make further strides towards compliance with all
  Apache Software Foundation requirements for incubating projects,
  particularly ensuring that all contributers are on the private list.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

  As the project has a large backlog of issues inherited from before its
  contribution, we continue to emphasize finding issues that are still 
  relevant and blocking progress, and addressing them.  We have engaged 
  with a dozen issues and resolved quite a few of them.  There is work
  that is ongoing to remove a third party dependency which is a major
  impediment to installing the product.

### 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?
that
  are using either the Teaclave platform and Teaclave's Rust SGX SDK.

  We also created a website for the project:
  https://teaclave.apache.org/, which contains project description,
  community, contributors, documentations and blog posts.

  We started a thread to discuss the logo design, but haven't received
  any proposal for now. We will drive this issue in the next few weeks.

  We observed more people posting feature suggestions and
  build/deployment issues. More than five new contributors begin to
  contribute bug fixes and introduce new examples.

  We started preparing the first Apache release such as logistics on
  licenses of third-party libraries.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

  Since the last report, we have completed the development roadmap
  towards the first public release
  (https://github.com/apache/incubator-teaclave/issues/121) proposed
  last year. We began to put more efforts on improving documents and
  building community.

  We wrote many documents in recent weeks including:

  - Try: Tutorials on using the Teaclave platform.
  - Design: Some explanations of design choices we made.
  - Contribute: Documents on contributing to Teaclave, such as
  debugging tips and Rust development guideline.
  - Codebase: Documents for each sub-directory (i.e., libraries in 
  Teaclave).
  - API Docs: Generated API documentations like APIs of Client SDK.

  We also provided more examples to help beginners to understand the
  basic usages of the projects.
