How has the project developed since the last report?
The following features were added to predictor_dl_model:
We added new features of user residency and user IPL (IP location).
We added pipeline and product tags to config file. Config file has placeholders to resolve the names of intermediate tables instead of having user to fill them up.
We pushed model-stats into Hive instead of Elasticsearch. This makes the pipeline to create one set of coherent tables that are associates with a pipeline run instead of having the artifacts into different types of data storage.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher - I resigned from mentoring this podling. They refuse to discuss activity on the mailing list. They do not communicate. They claim to make a release. This report is the first time we've heard of it.
Justin Mclean - The issues to be resolved before graduation need to be ones related to the community and how Apache operates not functionallity. I'm concerned about the release and comments by other mentors. There are also section in this report that are unanswered. What can be done to get this project back on track?

We have mainly been working on infrastructure and or software items over the last month. Mentor input will become more important now we've started working towards a first release. Julian Hyde regularly checks in and provides valuable input.
Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
There are no known brand and naming issues. The PPMC only uses "Apache Hop (Incubating)" as the official project name and has explicitly called "Project Hop" deprecated as of the moment of acceptance in the Incubator.

Livy
Livy is web service that exposes a REST interface for managing long running Apache Spark contexts in your cluster. With Livy, new applications can be built on top of Apache Spark that require fine grained interaction with many Spark contexts.
Livy has been incubating since 2017-06-05.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
- Start preparing towards graduation
Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Apache Livy is a stable project that is used widely in conjuction with Apache Spark. It seems to have met its project goals and there is not much active development going on as a result. 2020 may definitely not be the best year for community activity and Livy certainly seems to have taken a hit on this aspect. Seeking guidance from the IPMC/Board on what could be next steps for the project. Its not very active but at the same time its not a defunct/unused project.

Spot
Apache Spot is a platform for network telemetry built on an open data model and Apache Hadoop.
Spot has been incubating since 2016-09-23.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
- Increase community activity in mailing list and commits
- Make the product more approachable for new contributors and users
- 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're continuing to work on a roadmap with the community that will allow more contributors to focus and work on different levels of the project (i.e. data modeling and schema design, use-cases, ingestion, ml, ui, dev ops, docs, etc).
How has the project developed since the last report?
We've started regular weekly discussions around several topics, including configuration management, authentication, and authorization models within Spot so that we have a better backbone for adding more features and can also backport existing functionality to a stronger foundation. These discussions were delayed this quarter due to COVID and getting schedules aligned relative to other workloads so we don't have any proposals documented yet, but that is our next step.

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
Yes, mentors are helpful and responsive. We get quick feedback in case there are any questions. Thanks to all mentors and IPMC members who took the time to vote on our last release.
Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
Yes, we are actively managing the brand. New logo is still an open issue that is being discussed in the community. The project name has been approved.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Toree
Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely access Apache Spark.
Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
In my opinion, I believe Toree is one of those small but useful projects that, except for being very active, would be ready to graduate. Having said that, where there is an important issue or for voting new members and releases the PPMC show up and participate (see example of last committer/release thread).
The project will likely start graduation process on the next couple months.
- Increase active contributors
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?
Similar pattern with a few Q&A on both Gitter and mailing list. We also saw increased flow of questions related to Spark 3.0.
How has the project developed since the last report?
We attempted a new release, but while waiting for vote process to complete the Incubator release process changed and we are working on adapting to the new rules.
