# Incubator PMC report for November 2019

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and 
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.

This monthly report is in markdown so that it's easier to read. If you are 
not viewing this in that format, it can be seen here: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/November2019

There are presently 48 podlings incubating. In October, podlings executed 
XX distinct releases. We added one new IPMC members and no IPMC members 
retired. There were 5 IP clearances. There were some discussions about the 
IP clearance process.

We have two new podlings this month Apisix and TubeMQ. StreamPipes will 
soon to be added. Other project Sparklyr was discussed but decided not to 
enter incubation due to a large number of GPL licensed dependencies it had. 
SINGA graduated last month. The Amaterasu project was retired after the 
PPMC failed to respond to queries about its status. Edgent also retired. 
Omid and Tephra have decided to "graduate" and become sub-projects of the 
Phoenix project. A couple of podlings are heading towards graduation in the 
next few months.

BatchEE has now failed to report twice in a row. Looking at the low 
activity in the project, it may be time to considering retirement. PageSpeed 
submitted a report with minimal information and will be asked to report 
again next month.

Graduation of Weex was discussed but was withdrawn after the project 
realised it needed to do some more work around branding and community 
growth.

Further ongoing work was done on cleaning up the incubator web site, but 
there are still a number of pages that need to be reviewed and updated.

Podlings have continued to use the new disclaimer policy, and this has 
reduced the friction in making releases. Extra votes from the wider IPMC 
community are needed to get the 3 +1 votes, with not all mentors voting on 
releases.

A new straight to top level project has been proposed called Petri as 
another way of educating external projects and the Apache Way with the 
option of them bypassing the Incubator and going straight to being a top 
level project. It's still under consideration by the board. A FAQ is being 
worked on, but it currently unknown what impact this might have on the 
Incubator in the short or long term.

At ApacheCon Europe there was a Podling's Shark Tank, a talk on incubating 
process and talks involving several incubating projects.

The podling reporting groups have been rearranged so that there is an 
evener distribution of projects reporting each month.

A couple of mentors were added and removed from projects.

## 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 (should happen this week!)
  2. Increase activity from current committers and community.
  3. Demonstrate good governance through voting and learning the Incubator 
  process (some more).

### 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?

  Community activity was quiet. However, code is underway for a first 
  release to be ready in the coming week(s) which we hope will increase
  interest and activity.

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

  Code for a first release is hoped to be available in the coming days with 
  more community members participating in review and critique. 
  Additionally, work in the W3C's ARIA (accessibility) Working Group and on
  various browser vendor repositories has highlighted new annotation related
  activity and opportunity for this project. Sadly, we've mostly failed at
  raising awareness on the list, so the communities "radar" looks quieter
  than it should...

## 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. Finish the transfer and bring-up of our website to 
     github.com/apache/...  This is now in process.
  2. __Team Interactions:__ We want to have our exchanges on the ASF 
     Slack DataSketches-dev channel posted to our dev@datasketches.a.o 
     list on a daily basis for improved visibility and searchability. 
     We have an open INFRA ticket on this issue. 
     We are searching for a solution to provide more open access to 
     our video conference sessions when we have them. We are in the
     process of moving more of our interactions into the slack 
     DS-dev channel and dev@ list. This is a culture change for us 
     and will take some getting used to. We clearly want open 
     access to our team discussions.
  3. We would like to see a few more folks 
     join our contributors list.  We have several folks that
     have come forward and offered help because they are interested
     in the project.  This is great.  It is our hope that they will
     grow into 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?
  * We have added 1 new Mentor, Dave Fisher (thank you!) to our project
    and we have been approached by another Apache member 
    who would also like to be a mentor, and eventually a contributor 
    as well. This is very positive!  

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

  * We have now managed 7 releases,  6 Java releases and 1 C++ release.
    We have one more C++ release pending.  These are across 6 different
    components of the DataSketches library.  With the last pending C++
    release, all of the code components targeted for release will 
    be complete.

## Doris

Doris is a MPP-based interactive SQL data warehousing for reporting and
analysis.

Doris has been incubating since 2018-07-18.

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

  1. Continue to build our community. It is glad to see that more 
  developers joined us and became contributors. But we still need more 
  leading developers to join the community who can participate in the 
  discussion of Doris' road map, not just start-up members. 
  2. Improve the documents and website as well. Currently, most of 
  documents are in Chinese and most of English docs are translated by 
  machine. We are working on it.
  3. The discussion on dev mail list is still very few. Most of discussion 
  and decisions are still make in private or in GitHub issues. We should 
  improve the utilization of mailing lists and discuss more public.

### 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?

  1. Now we have 58 contributors, 1 more committers, and 1 committer became 
  PPMC member.
  2. 3 more other companies are cooperating with us on developing Doris and 
  try to make Doris as part of their data infrastructure.

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

  1. We released one new version: 0.11.0.
  2. And the website (http://doris.incubator.apache.org) is built with more 
  docs, both in Chinese and English version.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

--------------------
## ECharts

ECharts is a charting and data visualization library written in JavaScript.

ECharts has been incubating since 2018-01-18.

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

  1. Solve CDN issue and redirect echarts.baidu.com to echarts.apache.org.
  2. Vote for more PPMC and bring diversity to it.
  3. Check tutorials and other documents to make sure users can find what 
  they need, and the information is up-to-date. Keep the content of Chinese
  version and English version to be the same.

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

  We are still working on the Website speed problem before we can transfer it 
  to Apache server.
  We are trying the CDN as suggested by Dave and York Shen. It may take 
  several days before we can get conclusion. If this works, we will ask the
  infra for help with this CDN, if not, we should find other solutions.
  Currently, we put a banner stating "Apache ECharts is an effort undergoing 
  incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache
  Incubator.We are working on redirecting this Website to
  https://echarts.apache.org. You may visit our new official Website now.". 
  Hopefully, this can help with the branding before we do the redirection.

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

  1. We got more contributors from the community. Last month alone, there are 
  more than 10 non-committer contributors whose pull requests were merged in
  incubator-echarts project or doc project.
  2. The mailing list has been much more active these months. We are publicly 
  discussing issues,monthly release plans, future plans and so on. And more
  people asked for help and have their problem solved from the mailing list.
  3. We are using social medias like YouTube, Twitter and Medium to help 
  promote our project internationally and grow the community.
  4. We used labels to state the difficulty of fixing to make it easier for 
  contributors to find bugs that are supposed to be fixed by beginners. 

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

  We have released 2 versions since the last report and we are working on the 
  vote of the third one these days. We have formed a monthly release procedure
  and made the process public.

  We made an automatic visual test framework, so that the testing job can be 
  made more easily and more bugs can be found during pull request or testing
  stage before release.

- There is a release staged in review with some good fixes & features.
- Work on modernizing the project's build system has progressed well.
- Also, there is a PoC for running PageSpeed via Envoy, which opens a great path
  towards materializing a 2.0 version.

     Comments: In my visit in Seoul, I met the three active committers - Daewon, Do Yung and
Hwansung - over lunch, chatting informally face-to-face for the first time about how to grow our community. There has not been much project / community activity for last 1 year, but they were passionate to stay in the community and started reorganizing their work/time, trying to improve developer's experience and accessibility, considering to support Java Client or even Spring Boot for new people, by which they believe they can help grow the community. There's no specific decision made yet but we agreed to continue discussion in the mailinglist. It was great for me as a mentor too to understand each other. See [1] for detail.

## SDAP

SDAP is an integrated data analytic center for Big Science problems.

SDAP has been incubating since 2017-10-22.

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

  1. Make official SDAP (Incubating) Release
  2. Improve/create user guide documentation
  3. Improve committer participation

### 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?

  Interest in the project has increased after presentation at ApacheCon. 
  New `#sdap` channel created on the-asf.slack.com

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

  Frank Greguska attended ApacheCon NA and presented an overview of SDAP.

  Discussion about what is necessary to produce a release were beneficial 
  and the path forward is clear. Goal is to get a source release before the 
  end of the year.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
  
  There are several deployments of SDAP actively being used and interest is 
  high. However, active participation from project members is low. First 
  source release should be coming soon.

Please feel free to add your own commentary.

## MesaTEE

MesaTEE is the next-gen solution to enable general computing service for 
security-critical scenarios. It will allow even the most sensitive data to 
be securely processed to enable offshore businesses without leakage.

Doris has been incubating since 2019-08-19.

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

  1. Finish the initial setup for MesaTEE and its sub-repos.
  2. Choose a suitable name for MesaTEE and rename the repos.
  3. Make the access control mechanism and RPC framework more scalable and 
  ergonomic.

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

  No answer.

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

  Now we have 12 contributors for MesaTEE main repo, and 16 contributors for 
  MesaTEE-SGX. Since the first day of incubation, MesaTEE merged 3 PRs from 
  the community, and MesaTEE-SGX merged 7 PRs from the community.

  It is worth mention that the comprehensive tests of MesaTEE and MesaTEE-SGX 
  helped finding bugs in their dependencies, and we managed to fix them in 
  upstream libraries. One case is the "official" numeric library family of 
  Rust ecosystem: rust-num. It's build script did not work well with 
  MesaTEE's build system and we filed [num-traits issue 
  139](https://github.com/rust-num/num-traits/issues/139). Then we fixed in 
  [PR 140](https://github.com/rust-num/num-traits/pull/140). More fixes in 
  this family are pending to merge. Another case is in the official Intel SGX 
  SDK. MesaTEE-SGX's CI reported failure after migrating to Intel SGX SDK 
  v2.7 release. We created [linux-sgx issue 
  457](https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx/issues/457) and Intel resolved it a 
  week later in [PR 461](https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx/pull/461). 

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

  Since the MesaTEE project joined incubator, we improved its build system, 
  SDK, CLI, and fit it to the latest Intel SGX SDK v2.6. MesaTEE-SGX and its 
  ecosystem has been periodically updated so as to eliminate 
  bugs/vulnerabilities from 3rd party libraries.

  We just finished repo transfer for MesaTEE-SGX, and we are still working on 
  repo transfer for MesaTEE main repo.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

  Luciano helped us a lot. He helped with catching up the schedule and the 
  SGA. We learned a lot from him and started managing MesaTEE in Apache's 
  style.

  Zhijie Shen helped us a lot with the initial setup, such as signing the 
  iCLA, account creation, mailing lists.

  We appreciate the help from the mentor group. Mentors are really 
  professional and helpful!
