There are presently 48 podlings incubating. In June, podlings executed 7 
distinct releases. We added no new IPMC members and no IPMC members 
retired. We have no new podlings this month. A couple of other podlings are 
heading towards graduation in the next few months including OpenWhisk. A 
couple of podlings failed to realise that they can submit their own reports
rather than having to reply on their mentors. DLab, for instance almost
failed to report for the second month, although they did have draft reports
on their mailing list for previous missed reports. Three podlings Amaterasu,
Livy and Tuweni didn't submit a report and have been asked to do so next
month. Three other reports currently do not have sign off BatchEE,
DataSketches and DLab.

There was one IP clearance.

Milagro is trying to reboot themselves, and it's good to see lots of new 
activity, this seems a successful attempt so far, and they are working on a 
release.

BatchEE has decided to leave the incubator and join the Geronimo project as 
that seems a better fit for them than becoming their own TLP.

OpenWisk has brought up graduation and has a few minor issues around 
releases, communication and branding to address. This again points out the 
challenges the incubator has when ASF policy may not be in line with modern 
development workflows.

Zikin decided that the incubator wasn't a good fit for them culturally and 
left the incubator returning back to be OpenZipkin. They had a large amount 
of work to do before they could graduate and some of the issues they faced
would have been difficult to solve. It would be fair to say that their 
expectations were not correctly managed when entering the incubator.
There was some debate if a vote needed to be held by the IPMC to record 
this, with some people objecting in strong terms.

The IPMC is still working on if podlings need to follow ASF's release 
policy and distribution policy while in incubation. It seems that more 
people think that the incubator does not have to follow policy. However, 
the board has never granted an exception to the incubator for this, it's 
not in it's the original charter or documented anywhere. Last months 
proposal to do just this didn't get IPMC consensus.

In these threads, there were a number of good suggestions that could be 
implemented to smooth the progression from podling to top level project for 
some podlings. As usual, it's then difficult to get consensus on and 
implement these ideas. Hopefully, all this will coalesce into some 
action(s) and a new proposal (assuming one is needed) to be put forward to 
the board next month.

It was clarified with Infra that they will allow distribution of artifacts 
that don't follow policy, or rather that won't check and assume anything 
voted on by the IPMC is OK to be distributed. In other words, it's the IPMC 
responsibility.

Legal also clarified what they expected, and it's possibly a bit awkward as 
they (perhaps unsurprisingly) expect a TLP to follow all release policy, 
which includes any releases made by the IPMC. We have not been doing this. 
They went further saying if the incubator is not considered a TLP, or is 
somehow *special* then the legal committee has indicated what they would 
allow in releases. This list is less restrictive than what has previously 
been followed by the IPMC, but still includes some situations where the
incubator shouldn't approve a release.

It's considered that the incubator is a TLP so this still needs to be 
resolved in some way and the conversation is now focused on this.

Possibly getting a bit ahead of itself, the incubator made two releases 
that included issues that it would not usually release; inclusion of 
compiled source code and dependency on Category X software.

Until this issue is resolved, I don't see an end to this issue re-occurring 
every few years as it has done previously. This is confusing for podlings 
as they get mixed or contradictory  answers to their questions depending
on who they ask, and the ASF policy documentation is heavy on the compliance
side. This situation also had a part to play in Zipkin leaving.

The IPMC  needs to be clear up front to some podlings may need major 
changes to how they operate, and they need to consider carefully if the ASF 
is, in fact, a good fit for them. The incubator has started work on a page 
outline the expectations and what some of the issues are that they might 
encounter. there may be some overlap with the recently created Incubator 
cookbook.

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

A discussion has been started on change the incubator DISCLAIMER text to 
more accurately reflect that podling releases may not be in line with 
policy. This has no legal standing but is informational.

Serval podlings talks and talks about the incubator were accepted for 
ApacheCon North America.

Some of the incubator wiki pages were missed in the transfer and infra are 
looking into why.

A few more podlings have corrected PPMC members not been signed up to their 
private lists.

## Annotator

Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and
humans.

Annotator has been incubating since 2016-08-30.

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

  1. Release initial versions
  2. Add active contributors
  3. Demonstrate good governance through voting on process improvements.

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

  None at this time.

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

  Participation on the mailing list and issues has increased. Overall 
  architectural discussions for the API of the first official release are
  also underway. The project  recently voted to adopt a new logo, with
  input from the community.

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

  The project's API is being solidified for its first release. There has 
  been active coding in the last month and and more related conversations
  on the mailing list. We  still need to increase participation in the
  actual code activities of the project, but interest in general is growing
  again.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

--------------------
## 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. Complete a successful 1st snapshot release of Memory repo to DIST and 
  Nexus. This is a blocking issue.
  2. Finish refactoring/snapshot releasing the other repos, which depend on 
  #1.
  3. Move, refactor Website.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
  For the IPMC: 
  As a newbie podling, my experience so far has been exasperating. Finding 
  how to accomplish key tasks is difficult.  The information is spread all
  over and the essential details of how to actually
  accomplish tasks are often missing.

  I have run into multiple roadblocks, especially with regards to 
  permissions. I have to keep filing new tickets with INFRA to setup access
  to infrastructure and they reply that the Mentors need to do this. When
  I ask on general@incubator, the replies I get suggest I need to file
  tickets with INFRA. So I am  confused.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
  Not much. I wish I could spend more time on this, but I need to get
  the migration done.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
  We continue to evolve the project's functionality with commits to our 
  GitHub repos.

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

### Date of last release:

  No releases yet.

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
  At the initial incubation date.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

  1. I have opened INFRA issues that have not yet been addressed and there 
  will be more to come. 
  2. I could REALLY use some 1:1 help from an experienced release engineer 
  (perhaps from another project),that is very familiar with the Apache/Maven
  release process and POM to get us off the ground. 
  Once we have created our first release, we can continue from there. But 
  getting this first one is out is turning out to be quite a challenge.
  I don't think we need more than an hour with an experienced Apache 
  release engineer, our project just isn't that complicated.
  3. I haven't heard from any of the mentors for the last week or so, 
  perhaps they are all on vacation.

## DLab

DLab is a platform for creating self-service, exploratory data science
environments in the cloud using best-of-breed data science tools.

DLab has been incubating since 2018-08-20.

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

  1. Execute the SGA between EPAM and the ASF so code can be imported - done
  2. Complete on-boarding of initial committers - done
  3. Work toward an initial Apache release - release branch created – done

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

  Not this time

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

  All initial committers have completed on-boarding. Also we've added 
  couple of new contributors (some of them are waiting for PPMC to be created). 
  All new contributors are currently onboarding and doing initial work to prove 
  contribution:

  - Andriy Yatskovets
  - Kirill Makhonin
  - Vitalii Solodilov
  - Dmitriy Karbyshev
  - Aliaksandr Semianets

  Also a few new contributors will start submitting their .icla files soon:

  - Andrii Dumych
  - Mykola Bodnar

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

  The team fully switched our work to Apache Infrastructure: JIRA, Git.

  First release has been made 
  https://github.com/apache/incubator-dlab/releases/tag/2.1-RC2

  Team is actively working on release 2.2 features.

  There will be many new features and conceptual changes introduced in 
  upcoming release. We are introducing a concept of projects within DLab, 
  which will allow to control permissions for groups of Dlab users, improve 
  collaboration capabilities.

  Major improvements will be made in terms of GCP platform deployment. GCP 
  will support majority of the features, currently available in DLab for 
  AWS and Azure Clouds.

  Yes, mentors have been helpful with onboarding and were providing all
  answers timely. We just wish the podling report submission process
  could be supported more timely.

### Help needed by DLab team from Apache:

  We would highly appreciate if following page could start being populated: 
  https://incubator.apache.org/clutch/dlab.html, currently there are many 
  URL’s missing and empty sections.

  The team can provide all needed information, but unfortunately we don't

## Flagon

Apache Flagon is a generalized user behavioural logging platform for web 
pages and thin-client applications

Apache Flagon has been incubating since 2016-07-13; Apache Flagon has 
officially changed its name from Apache SensSoft.

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

  1. Accelerate release frequency and reduce branch complexity in repos to 
  reduce adoption, contributor disincentives.
  2. Grow the Apache Flagon Committer/Contributor/Community Base around our 
  core product Apache UserALE.js (Incubating)
  3. Complete the issues highlighted at the Apache Flagon Roadmap [1]

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

  Apache Flagon is currently suffering from unresponsive mentors:
  * Dave Meikle has been active and engaged, aside from a prolonged outage 
  due to a long-term illness. We are grateful for Dave's help and assistance 
  since then.
  * Lewis McGibbney has been uncharacteristically unresponsive on dev@, 
  private@, and to PM. Note that Lewis has been a champion for us and have 
  confidence that he will return to activity.
  * Atri Sharma has been wholly inactive. We tried to report this in our 
  last Q1 report; when posted to dev@ for review, he maintained that he 
  didn't the ability to cast binding VOTEs as an excuse for 
  non-engagement. We softened the language in our Q1 report and encouraged 
  him to participate by providing guidance, mentorship, and engaging in 
  community VOTEs. We haven't heard from him since despite numerous requests 
  for help and support posted to private@

  As a result of long periods of mentor absence:
  * ReRelease of v1.0.0 (at IPMC ) was delayed until mentors (Dave) were 
  available to guide us through a potential copyright issue (resolved).
  * Prolonged the process of our name change as we struggled to explore 
  Apache documentation and understand what we had to change (in process; HUGE 
  thanks to INFRA for assisting us with some of the details).
  * Is presently impeding our release process (not enough binding VOTES) 
  after tightening release procedures, and working hard to clean up our 
  branch structure to increase this cadence.
  * We have struggled to get timely IPMC sign-off on REPORTs and have been 
  unable to post these ourselves to the incubator wiki for lack of permission.
  * We have had to abandon our prior NPM distribution as it was released by 
  a non-responsive mentor on their personal NPM account (we don't have 
  credentials). [2]

  NOTE as of the date of REPORT (6/26/2019) our ReRelease of Apache Flagon 
  UserALE.js (Incubating) v1.0.0 has been under VOTE on general@ for 9 days 
  (6/17/2019). After community and PPMC   VOTE, we needed +2 binding votes. 
  We received helpful comments from Justin McLean, but despite numerous 
  reminders to VOTE, we still have yet to receive the last +1 binding VOTE 
  from IPMC. We are concerned that without active mentors, our release 
  cadence will remain slow and unresponsive to user communities.

  With Dave Meikle's help, we will be searching for two additional mentors 
  so that our community is self sufficient. We recommend dropping Atri Sharma 
  from the project for non-participation.

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

  The community has:
  * improved release processes and code base to expedite future releases 
  [3,4]
  * gathered a wide base of users that are eagerly anticipating UserALE.js 
  v2.0.0 via NPM (under VOTE within the community as of this date). 
  * discussed with external parties research applications with university 
  research labs in machine learning and social computing.
  * the community has organically grown with a new contributor, who is 
  participating in VOTEs
  * the community expects to complete major updates to documentation on 
  website and READMEs, in early JUL 2019. Wiki updates will complete shortly 
  thereafter.

  Despite consistent challenges to our community throughout 2018, we are 
  showing signs of growth, continue to have a relevant project, and are well 
  postured to accelerate growth in the coming quarters. We remain committed 
  to learning and adopting the Apache Way.

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

  * Completed migration to GitBox Repos
  * Project maturity roadmaps (Wiki) and version release plans (JIRA) 
  continue to be maintained.
  * JIRA boards continue to be maintained.
  * Core product source code for front-end and back-end assets has been 
  steadily maintained and modernized.

  No.

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

  We're growing the list of potential new contributors and 
  collaborators. We have added two new additional 
  contributors and expect more soon as we get 
  milagro-crypto-c in line for release.

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

  The main contributors continue to get their feet wet with Apache 
  processes and methodologies. Big shout out to the infra team 
  who have been helpful in dealing with the paculiarities of our project.
  As an example, we have managed to migrate issue tracking to GitHub,
  but are still using JIRA for release management task tracking.
  Most importantly, we have now moved the website to the asf-site
  branch model and are ready to update the site with documentation.
  Qredo Ltd in London has signed a software contributor agreement 
  that has been registered with legal office. Qredo is contributing its
  server code to become the Decentralized Trust Authority, the first 
  "product" release after the crypto library release.

on top of Accumulo. Rya uses novel storage methods, indexing schemes, and
query processing techniques that scale to billions of triples across
multiple nodes. Rya provides fast and easy access to the data through
SPARQL, a conventional query mechanism for RDF data.

Rya has been incubating since 2015-09-18.
