# Incubator PMC report for March 2020 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/March2020 There are presently 45 podlings incubating. In February, podlings executed 9 distinct releases. We added no new IPMC members, but two will be added shortly, and 2 IPMC members retired, a further 72 were removed by a board resolution. There was four requested IP clearance, some issue around previous IP clearances have been resolved. We have one new podling this month NLPCraft; another three are under discussion AgensGraph, HBlock and Rainbow. No projects graduated last month. Taverna has retired from the Incubator and Tamaya is discussing retirement. At least one podling is heading towards graduation in the next few months. PageSpeed which didn't report last month reported this month. Hivemall did not report and have indicated they will report next month. Most podlings have sorted out their private mailing lists. Three podlings MXNet, SDAP and Spot are still working on it. The board proposal to remove IPMC was passed, and they have been removed, everything went smoothly. When they were removed a few projects found themselves with fewer mentors, and a couple of people have put to hand up to help mentor them. A discussion about the announce email format turned into a discussion about release pages. Several podling that have made releases were discovered not to have download pages, they have been asked to fix this. A script found several other podlings with incorrect download links on download pages and those podling are working on fixing those. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - None ### People who left the IPMC: - 72 IPMC members in board proposal - Jacopo Cappellato - Naomi Slater ## New Podlings - NLPCraft ## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month - Hivemall ## Graduations - None The board has motions for the following: - None ## Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of February: - APISIX 1.1 - APISIX dashboard 1.0 - BRPC 0.9.7 - Dolphin Scheduler 1.2.1 - Livy 0.7.0 - MXNet 1.6.0 - Milagro Crypto-C v2.0.1 - PageSpeed 1.14.36.1 - Ratis 0.5.0 ## IP Clearance - Pulsar - DotPulsar - OpenWhisk - wskdebug - Atomos Codebase - Maven Wrapper ## Legal / Trademarks - N/A ## Infrastructure - Changes to /dist link has an impact on podling download pages. ## Miscellaneous - We also had a privacy request for the removal of personal information that was passed on to the privacy committee.

No ### How has the community developed since the last report? The number of active committers has increased over the past quarter, and we we also have several new potential community members looking to become committers. We will work with our mentors to go through the process to onboard them. Much of the activity from the community has been focused on stabilizing the the codebase and fixing known issues in the documentation and Spot website. This will greatly benefit new users and reduce confusion when standing up the Spot different modules. ### How has the project developed since the last report? Several projects have been proposed, discussed, and completed during the past quarter. We're also working to close the remaining open PRs as soon once the community finishes its review. Additionally there were some Podling Website check failures in the Whimsy report that we began to look into and resolve. These should be mostly resolved by the next Podling report update. We've also begun discussions on the second version of the Open Data Model (ODM v2). There were several problems seen in the implementation with ODM v1 that need to be resolved before substantial adoption of Apache Spot can can take place. Its our goal to come to a decision on the design of ODM v2 this next quarter. Once a data model redesign is agreed upon this will serve as a catalyst to modernizing other Spot modules so everything is properly integrated. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1.Launch the first Apache release. 2.Make development document more easily to read. 3.Grow the community to involve more contributors and increase the diversity. ### 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? At this stage, no community activities were initiated, but we internally initiated a vote for the project committer and selected the first committer of the project. I believe this will promote the subsequent development of the project community. ### How has the project developed since the last report? The project is nearing completion of the migration to the Apache incubator: at this stage, we have completed the change of the project's package name, the standardization of file's LICENSE, and the launch of the project home page, but the documentation and project home page content relatively lacking, this part needs to be improved in the next stage. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
