Baremaps

Apache Baremaps is a toolkit and a set of infrastructure components for creating, publishing, and operating online maps.

Baremaps has been incubating since 2022-10-10.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Getting the code in compliance with Apache standards  2. Making releases
  2. Growing the community

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

Someone submitted our website to HackerNews and we remained on the frontpage for about 16 hours [1]. Our demonstration server hosted on Hetzner (16 cores; 128GB of RAM; 8TB of NVMe SSD) successfully sustained this load and served more than 40GB of tiles from Postgis during this period of time [2]. Additionally, the OpenStreetMap Wiki now offers the possibility to display vector maps based on Baremaps on its pages [3]. This raises the following question: Could the demonstration server be hosted by the ASF at some point?

How has the community developed since the last report?

The activity has increased. Five people made their first contribution to the code base since the last report, one of whom has been elected as a committer in May. The activity on the mailing list is very low, but the number of exchanges on GitHub increased.  

How has the project developed since the last report?

We significantly improved the basemap at low zoom levels We improved the layout and the content of the web site We continued to address licensing issues We attended the OGC/OSGeo/ASF code sprint and improve support for OGC API We fixed bugs and addressed issues

When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

Leonard Cseres was elected as a committer in May.

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Yes, the mentors have been very helpful on several topics (community building, licensing, etc.). The discussions with Martin Desruisseaux at the OGC/OSGeo/ASF code sprint greatly helped at identifying avenues to address our licensing issues.

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

Yes

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?

It has been a slow quarter for us. Red Hat had a round of layoffs this quarter which affected their legal team, and the ones working on the Software Grant for Apache. It has pushed us back quite a ways as we've had to redo a bunch of the work. We're now targeting the end of June to have all the legal issues finished and the software grant completed.

How has the project developed since the last report?

See the above question.

  •  (paimon) Yu Li
    Comments: Team is actively working towards the first apache release (after entering incubation) and has addressed several legal issues found during IPMC review. Meantime discussions happen frequently and adequately on the dev mailing list, which indicates a good community build-up.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:

[Calvin Kirs]2 mentors and multiple PPMCs are not subscribed to the private mailing list, also, it seems that more than half of the PPMC members are not active, which is normal, but I am curious about what happened.


Wayang

Wayang is a cross-platform data processing system that aims at decoupling the business logic of data analytics applications from concrete data processing platforms, such as Apache Flink or Apache Spark. Hence, it tames the complexity that arises from the "Cambrian explosion" of novel data processing platforms that we currently witness.

Wayang has been incubating since 2020-12-16.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Release 1.0 (in progress)
  2. Update Website (we have issues to get the pipeline running, its messed a bit and INFRA could not help)

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

No, everything works!

How has the community developed since the last report?

We got significant traction, received commits from multiple individuals and organizations.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Activity increasing, commits and dev activity climbing.
