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:

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.
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.
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. These will be addressed before the next podling report. To help address these issue, a PPMC meeting has been proposed. This meeting will be extended to all members of the milagro project to allow an open discussion on 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.

Clear any potential infringing use of the NuttX trademark
Make more releases under Apache
Continue to grow the community with people from different background

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?

Most communications have moved from old venues to dev@nuttx.apache.org.
The dev list contains 196 subscribers, an increase of 16% since our
previous report, and is the home of all development discussions and
user questions.
Github's PRs and Issues also have their own discussions.
We are seeing new contributors to the project through Github.
Four new committers have joined the team: Adam Feuer, Matias Nitsche,
Johannes Schock, and Sebastian Ene.
We organised the NuttX Online Workshop, a two-day event on August
15th and 16th. We had a bunch of interesting presentations of people
using NuttX around the world. Full videos of the online event have
been posted at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t49wq_ovT50 (day 1)
and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIpa3_70PCY (day 2).

How has the project developed since the last report?

We have successfully made our second release under the ASF umbrella,
NuttX-9.1.
We are already working on our third release, NuttX-10.0.
Contributions are flowing regularly as PRs in GitHub and as patches
in the dev list.
Many technical improvements, bug fixes, and new architectures have
been collaborated and work continues with upwards of a dozen pull
requests per day.
We have listened to the valuable feedback received during our last
two releases and revamped our documentation. This can be found at
https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/.
The nightly build is up and running: https://s.apache.org/wnv2u
This has helped us to improve our review process.

How has the community developed since the last report?

The community has been active in the past month. We have received emails and Gitter chats from many users. The GitHub repo also received more stars. However, we notice that, since we close the "Issues" function on GitHub, many users seem not to post questions to JIRA and mailing list. Some of them chose to send emails directly to the committers. We would like to figure out a way to guide the users to the right channel.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Since the last report, we have published our new project website under the Apache domain: http://sedona.apache.org/

We have almost finished our first big PR under the new name, Sedona: https://github.com/apache/incubator-sedona/pull/484

The development progress was kind of blocked by this PR. We believe once this PR is accepted, we will move much faster.

TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.

TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

1.Keep growing the community, attract more contributors and committers 2.Release Apache standard releases regularly 3.Continuously improve system performance and increase system features

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

We hope more IPMCs will pay attention to our project and give more suggestions.

How has the community developed since the last report?

Since the last report, the TubeMQ community has attracted many real users who have given feedback to the project many bugs, and enthusiastic contributors have made multilingual SDK contributions to the project and successfully applied them in the actual environment; the community periodically releases iteratively to provide stable and easy-to-use new features.

How has the project developed since the last report?

This stage is mainly for the development and implementation of multi-language SDKs: the C/C++ SDK delivery has been completed; at the same time, SDKs for Go, Python, Rust and other languages are under development. In addition to the new features of the multi-language SDKs, the project initiated the development of the tubemq-manager module for cross-cluster control to make the project more usable; for details, please refer to our project issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/TUBEMQ/issues.

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

The mentors gave us a lot of help and guidance at the beginning of the project, but as the project deepened, the mentors paid less attention. We hope that the mentors can continue to pay attention to the development of our project and continue to provide help and suggestions to the project.

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

Yes, all good here.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

Gain more contributors and active committers.
Establish a release cadence based on roadmap.
Improve the ease of deployment and documentation quality.

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

No critical issues at this point in time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

The community has given multiple presentations at ApacheCON@Home receiving good feedback.

One new committer was added and multiple new contributors were added.

Discussions around new or improved functionality have been started and are progressing in either jira or the mailing list.

How has the project developed since the last report?

A second release was finalised and released. Planning for the next release, based on community use cases, is well on its way for later this year.

A new website was released based on a community contribution using a new build system. The documentation was moved from separate repos to the website.

As part of the latest release the release tool has been improved to remove almost all manual steps.

Some statistics for the report period (2020-07-01 till 2020-09-30)
JIRA: 166 created, 129 resolved
PRs: 69 opened, 108 resolved
