# Incubator PMC report for July and August 2021

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and 
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
There are presently 37 podlings incubating. In June and August, podlings 
executed 10 distinct releases. We added 2 new IPMC members, and none 
retired.

There was 4 IP clearance in June and August. A couple of new podlings are 
under discussion, and Kyuubi and Linkis have joined the Incubator. Pinot 
graduated last month.

A couple of podlings are heading towards graduation in the next few months. 
This month we were missing reports from Annotator, Milagro and Toree, and 
they will be asked to report next month.

There was a lengthy discussion on the IP clearance for Terraform as 
information around the donation, IP and licensing was initially unclear but 
was eventually resolved.

There was also a discussion about IP provenance of files in the Tuweni 
release and the Hop release.

Some updates were made to the podling retirement guide.

As usual, most discussions on the mailing list were around graduations, 
releases, new project proposals and new mentors.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

--------------------
## 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:

  1. Clear any potential infringing use of the NuttX trademark
  2. Achieve a non-WIP Disclaimer release under Apache
  3. 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 at this time. However, please note that the project is beginning to
  discuss graduation to TLP and hopes to start this process in the near
  future.

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

  * Virtually all communications have moved from old venues to  
    dev@nuttx.apache.org. The dev list contains 230 subscribers, an  
    increase of 5% since our previous report, and is the home of most  
    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.  
  * One new committer has been added since the last report: Gustavo  
    Henrique Nihei received a commit bit in April.  
  * One new PPMC member has been added since the last report: Sara  
    Monteiro joined the PPMC in May.  

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

  * NuttX developers and significant contributors are currently planning  
    and organizing the annual NuttX Workshop 2021. Due to continuing  
    concerns around COVID, this year's workshop will once again be held  
    online. The event is planned for 21-22 August 2021. More information  
    can be found at https://nuttx.events.
  * We continue to make significant steps toward license clearing, needed  
    for graduation. This quarter, efforts have continued to clear files  
    and change their license 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 past and present  
    contributors and have secured several new ICLAs, CCLAs, and 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 several pull requests  
    merged per day.  
  * NuttX v10.1.0 was released this quarter.  
  * 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.
