# Incubator PMC report for August 2019

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.

This monthly report is in markdown so that it's easier to read. If you are 
not viewing this in that format, it can be seen here:   
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/August2019

There are presently 47 podlings incubating. In July, podlings executed X9
distinct releases. We added five IPMC members and no IPMC members retired. 
We have no new podlings this month, but there have been a couple of enquires
about new projects, and some proposals are being worked on. A couple of 
podlings are heading towards graduation in the next few months, including 
Druid.

Some podlings *list names* Amaterasu, SDAP, Tamaya, Toree didn't submit a report and have 
been asked to do 
so next month.

Two podlings that failed to report last month reported this month. However, 
Amaterasu(?) didn't report for a second time. A couple of podlings had 
trouble getting previous months reports signed off have attracted new 
mentors.

TVM also gained a new mentor. Some podlings are  reporting on or after the
dealinedeadline and not allowing time to discussing the content on list. The 
quality of those reports may suffer as a result.

There were three IP clearances.

Apache Druid has brought up it graduation and may have an issue with its 
name being the same as a project by another company. The problem is being
dealt with, but this may delay graduation depending on the outcome of those
discussions.

The Incubator made a podling release (MXNet) that contained stock photos of 
unknown origin and licensing. Another release (from Tuweini) included 
Category
 X (GPL) licensed software.

The incubator policy page has been cleaned up and updated to be easier to
understand. Anything that was guidelines and not policy has been removed. 
This material was included elsewhere in the incubator and ASF websites, and 
there was no need for the duplication. Podlings can always request to do 
things
 in a different way as long as it is in line with the Apache Way.

Further work was done on a page outlining some of the issues are that 
podlings might encounter during incubation and on the Incubator cookbook. 
The 
incubator homepage was also updated to be more friendly and service 
orientated.

There were several lengthy discussions of the role of the Incubator, and 
its purpose, and while they were a little heated in a few places, they
were constructive.

There seems to be consensus on how the Incubator should handle podling 
releases (see
 proposal below). It's thought that education of mentors 
and podlings on the Apache
 Way is lacking. The Incubator will discuss what 
can be done 
about that.

A couple of podlings have not been able to attract IPMC votes on their
releases in the usual 72 hours.

The missing incubator report wiki pages have been transferred to the new 
wiki.

Based on several months discussion, the Incubator has a proposal for the 
Board to consider.

*Summary*

The Incubator PMC has been discussing allowing podlings to make releases 
which are not fully compliant with the ASF release policies.

Such releases would include a DISCLAIMER-WIP statement of being a "work in 
progress", pointing to the specific issues that make them non-compliant.

The IPMC is seeking approval from the Board to proceed based on the details 
of this proposal, below.

*Some Background*

The IPMC requires clarity from the Board if podlings need to follow ASF's 
release policy and distribution policy while in incubation. This question 
has been asked before, and the answer was unclear or strongly suggested 
that podling releases must follow ASF policy. What is happening in practice 
is that the IPMC allows releases with minor issues to go ahead and assumes 
they will be fixed in a later release (before graduation) and stops 
releases with any serious problem from going ahead (with an IPMC member or 
two voting -1). A -1 vote is not a veto but usually stops a release, 
there's only been a handful of successful releases with -1 votes. We have 
consensus among IPMC members that allowing podling releases with 
minor issues is a correct approach even it doesn't follow ASF policy. 
Serious problems, such as; including GPL licensed software, including
compiled  code, or copyright violations, in a release are currently seen as
a reason to vote -1 on a release. Podlings do try and do the right thing
but about 1 in 5 podling releases has a problem like this. Historically
there's been a few releases with serious issues that have got legal and
Incubator VP approval to make a release on a one by one, once-off basis.
The Incubator wants to allow podling to make non compliant releases to
ease their progress through the incubating process. We've come up with
an alternate disclaimer that clearly states that the release may not be
compliant with ASF release or distribution policy and lists known issues.
The legal committee have confirmed that the the Incubator as a TLP needs
to follow release policy and can only make releases with issues if it
considered to be special in some way.

*Proposal*

The IPMC can allow non-compliant releases to be distributed without IPMC VP 
or legal VP approval, based on a documented list of issues which are 
acceptable for such non-compliant incubating releases. Such releases will
include an alternative "work in progress" DISCLAIMER-WIP to make users aware
of the issues . When this occurs, podlings document the issues as blocking
graduation and carry on incubating. They will not be allowed to graduate 
until
 all such release issues have been fixed.

*Notes*

The IPMC and legal committee have come up with a well-defined list of those
issues. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-469

This list will be distributed to mentors, IPMC members and podlings so
that everyone's expectations are clear. This proposal does not change the
need for an IPMC vote on podling releases, which will be considered
separately.

## 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. Our vote letter on general@ had no responses from anyone (not just IPMC
 members) 
   IPMC members) for the first 73 hours. After sending a pleading
     reminder email I finally got 
     3 +1 binding votes. I'm trying to be
     polite and not needle folks, 
     but I need guidance on how to get IPMC
     members' attention.  I realize the vote
     must stay open for at least
     72 hours, but having to wait until the last minute 
get any response
   get any response is very aggravating. Would it be fair to send out reminder
 notices on
   notices on 24 hour intervals?
  2. Continue to perfect the release process.
  3. After we get this first release, we need to finish migrating the 
     remaining repos.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
  1. Yes. In addition to #1 above, not all of our Mentors have been 
     involved. Why do Mentors sign up if they do not or cannot mentor?

### How has the community developed since the last report?
  Not too much at the committer level. We have drawn the
  interest of a few new scientists in our work, but they did not
  learn of our work from Apache.
  It is still very early.  I am speaking at ApacheCon
  In September, hopefully we can attract some interest there.
  I am hoping to attract some committers.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
  We continue to evolve the project and make commits to the code base.
  We are also heavily integrated into the Druid platform.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
  Justin Mclean: 72 hours is a minimum and a podling may not attract
  all needed votes in that time. I understand it may be frustrating
  but remember IPMC member are volunteers and mostly do this work
  unpaid in their spare time. If you need more Mentors just ask on
  the incubator general list.

## Doris

Doris is a MPP-based interactive SQL data warehousing for reporting and
analysis.

Doris has been incubating since 2018-07-18.

  2. Make version release more frequent
  3. Podling name search

### 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?

  Now we have 43 contributors, and 1 more committers.

## ECharts

ECharts is a charting and data visualization library written in JavaScript.

ECharts has been incubating since 2018-01-18.

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

  1. Redirecting echarts.baidu.com to echarts.apache.org. Because we found 
  some speed problem of Apache CDN in China, we haven't done the redirecting
  job yet. We will do more test and ask for help if necessary.
  2. Podling name search. We will try to complete it within this month.
  3. Releasing new versions more frequently.

### 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?

  Two new committers are accepted.

that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling
local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming
from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of
all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in
conjunction with centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides
efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the
center to the edge.

Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29.

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

  1. Re-creating a working community
  2. Re-populating the PPMC
  3. Replenishing the group of mentors

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

  For the past months, there has been very few activity in the project
  There have been a hand full of Emails from external peoples in the
  last 3 months but the activity in the project has been solely by me
  (Julian).

  Julian started an Approach for „Edgent Next“. This is a suggestion to re-activate activities in the edgent community and integrate it as a middle layer between several other IoT or Edge relared Projects.

  This was also announced on the new iot@apache.org<mailto:iot@apache.org> Mailing list but on both lists no feedbackl was responded yet.

  The main problem we have is that the only active people in the project
  came in Late and are not that firm with the codebase. Currently, we
  have a codebase for which we have a detailed understanding of the build,
  but almost none of the code itself. Furthermore, there has been a lot of
  activity in other projects and generally edge processing has developed
  further in the recent years.

  Thus, there is some discussion going on about the core or the aim of the
  project to keep its significance and uniqueness.

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

  * Total, we have 82 subscribers to our mailing list, an increase of 5 since the last report.
  * There have been four questions asked by users and little discussions about these issues on the list
  * On April, 4th, Julian Feinauer has Talked about Edgent on the building iot 2019
  * On July 16th Julian Feinauer started a discussion About „Edgent Next“ on the edgent and iot Mailing lists[X] (echarts) Dave Fisher

## 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. Produce a release
  2. Grow more active contributors
  3.

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

  What has been falling through the cracks is actually producing a release
  for review. That has been looked into [1] but the artifact needs a few
  tweaks to get it right according to ASF standards before it makes sense to
  enter the process.

  [1] http://people.apache.org/~oschaaf/mod_pagespeed/

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

  One new committer/ppmc member was voted in after contributing
  a series of code changes to the core product.

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

  A significant effort is in progress to modernize some aspects of 
  the project as well as simplify the build and dependency management
  by porting the build system from gyp to bazel.
  This is a first step towards the PageSpeed 2.0 plan that was initially
  proposed when entering the incubator.
