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:
- Add active contributors
- Stabilize a release cadence
- Continue to demonstrate good governance
Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Community building has been very slow and it has been a long time since the project added new committers or PPMC members. After a period of relative inactivity and a conversion of the codebase to TypeScript, the project is long overdue for a second release. The IPMC should expect to see the project vote on a second release before the next board report to demonstrate forward momentum.
How has the community developed since the last report?
There have been some one-off contributions to project documentation and questions raised by people evaluating the project for use, but there have not been sustained contributions or involvement from new folks yet.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The project is now making continuous development packages to make it easier for developers to test upcoming releases. There is now tooling in place for generating API documentation, with plans to integrate the generated documentation into the website. The existing interfaces have all been documented. These efforts are all focused around the current goal of building community by making it easier for developers to become familiar with the project.

MXNet
A Flexible and Efficient Library for Deep Learning
MXNet has been incubating since 2017-01-23.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
- Address release issues, improve automation for license checks, and make it easier for auditing.
- DONE
- Successfully and smoothly make releases without WIP disclaimer.
- ONGOING.
- Improve brand management.
- ONGOING.
Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
- The community fixed the issues in INCUBATOR-253 and will continue to perform regular trademark and branding review.
- Following the completion of license and release issue fixes, MXNet had difficulty finishing the releases votes in Incubator. Here are the stats for the two recent successful releases:
1.8.0 | 2.0.0.alpha | |
---|---|---|
duration | 39 days | 27 days |
issues uncovered (fixed after release) | 5 | 2 |
mentor participation | 50% | 25% |
We have one mentor who indicated the desire to step down if we can find more mentors. We will request for a few more active mentors to help us smoothly finish the last mile before graduation.
- We conduct regular brand management review as part of the regular reporting. From recent brand usage review for MXNet third-party distributions, we found several listings on AWS marketplace that need update. The PPMC reached out to the publishers of these listings for correction. See status in brand management section.

NLPCraft
Apache NLPCraft is an open source library for adding natural language Interface to modern applications. Apache NLPCraft has been incubating since 2020-02-13.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
- Community growth & outreach.
- Multiple release managers.
- Presenting the project at ApacheCon 2021.
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?
Project have several new contributors that we are expecting to formally join the project/ASF in the future. These are individuals outside of the original NLPCraft community. We are also getting number of offline contributions when it comes to ideas, testing and website. We are working on promoting these contributions and inviting these individuals to be more active. We need, however, to get much better at the general project outreach via meetups, conferences, etc.
Project has 8 forks on the Github.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Project produced 2 releases. Both releases were an interim, bug fix releases. So far, they were produced by the same release manager (Aaron Radzinski). The community is working on the major release 0.7.5 right now that should go GA in the April 2021 with significant changes and improvements (all of which are relfected in JIRA tickets for 0.7.5 version). At this point, the community does not have a formalized roadmap with many internal discussions happening on Slack channels. We are generally expecting to formalize the long-term roadmap towards 1.0.0 release with hopefully a larger community around the project.

Date of last release:
NLPCraft 0.7.4 released on Jan 31, 2021.
When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
Aug, 2020 - Gleb Zernov (ifropc), committer.
Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
We have some problems with getting attention from mentors. Release voting can go for weeks without attention from mentors that is slowing down the progress on the project. However, the mentors' participation has improved lately. We've also identified some of the communication inefficiencies that would help us to engage mentors better going forward.
Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
Yes, no issues to report.

NuttX
NuttX is a mature, real-time embedded operating system (RTOS).
NuttX has been incubating since 2019-12-09.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
- 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 230 subscribers, an increase of 9% 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.
- No new committer(s) have been added since the last report.
How has the project developed since the last report?
- We have made significant steps toward license clearing, needed for
graduation: In this quarter, thousands of files have been cleared
and changed to the Apache 2.0 License through the large effort of
our volunteers. Since joining the Incubator, more than 10,000 files
have been changed to the Apache 2.0 License with the permission of
more than 60 individuals and 16 organizations who signed ICLAs, CCLAs,
and SGAs to assist us in getting closer to graduation. We are
grateful to everyone for their invaluable support through this
important process. - We continue to secure ICLAs and SGAs from from past and present
contributors and have secured 8 new ICLAs and 3 new SGAs this
quarter. - Contributions are flowing regularly as PRs in GitHub with occasional
patches in the dev list. - Many technical improvements, bug fixes, and new architectures have
been collaborated and work continues with an average of 9 and
sometimes more than a dozen pull requests merged per day. - We have not made any new releases during this quarter but have begun
discussing the next release, tentatively set for next month. - We have listened to the valuable feedback received during our
previous releases and continue to improve our documentation. This can
be found at https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/. - We are working to streamline our GitHub PR checks to use fewer
resources while still giving providing early feedback of potentially
disruptive problems. The GitHub PR checks have helped us immensely in
improving our code quality and compliance to project standards.

TubeMQ
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.Complete the project rename task 2.Improve and optimize the system to solve system Short board 3.Promote the system, to let more people to use and participate in the community
Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
One, Our rename implementation Jira[1] still has no clear completion time. Since the new name passed and mentor JB submitted the rename Jira[1] on March 11, after the priority of the jira was adjusted from Major to Minor on March 13, the mentors has pinged several times, but still no more movement.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have recently deployed the community TubeMQ 0.8.0 version in our environment, from the comparison of before and after the gray-scale, the performance of the version is at least 5% higher than before, especially the metric of the number of disks written has dropped significantly, and the problems found have been reported back to the community for repair.
At the same time, we have conducted three times offline technical exchanges with the technical teams of other different companies (the relevant communication documents have been placed on the external website for other business review and analysis). Through the comparison of the environmental issues of different companies in the big data scenario, TubeMQ has relatively good cost advantages and technical characteristics. We will continue to choose to cooperate with companies with similar scenario requirements to let more people, company, who need this ability uses this component, and participates in the operation of the community.
In addition to using email to synchronize information, we created an "inlong" channel in ASF on Slack to meet and solve the needs of users for timely communication.
How has the project developed since the last report?
When we were preparing for the release of TubeMQ 0.8.0 without the "-WIP" tag, we discovered that the BDB component that the project metadata management module relies on has a license authorization problem, we are refactoring this part to meet Apache's license requirements.
At the same time, our project has submitted an application for name change and has been approved by Apache. We are currently preparing for the content of the project after the name change, including the project homepage, Logo, modules to be open sourced, documentation, etc, and some of the content has been completed and is waiting to be applied online after the name change is completed; the name change implementation Jira [1] has been submitted by Mentor JB on March 11, and is still in pending status without clear implementation completion time.
