Incubator PMC report for March 2023

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

Marvin-AI has completed the retirement IPMC voting process. There are some podlings that are also in the discussion of retirement, like Spot.

Regarding PonyMail, it should be explained that even though it is difficult for them to build a huge community, since the current PMC is composed of ASF members, and PonyMail also serves as the infrastructure of ASF. Therefore, we hope that PonyMail will graduate to gain more brand exposure and further expand the community.

KIE has been incubating since 2023-01-13.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Software Grant completion, currently waiting on legal.
  2. IP clearance. Question: Can this start before the grant has been finalized?
  3. Create a release :)

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

Currently no.

How has the community developed since the last report?

This is our first report. We have a number of people signed up for the PPMC, but seeing as we don't have the code moved over yet, there isn't much else to be done at the moment.

How has the project developed since the last report?

We're working through legal both at IBM and Red Hat. This wasn't as quick as any of us had hoped it would be.

How would you assess the podling's maturity?

  •  Initial setup Mailing lists created Initial committers have signed the ICLA
  •  Working towards first release We'll get there, need the software grant first
  •  Community building Not much we can do on this front until the code has moved over
  •  Nearing graduation N/A
  •  Other:

Date of last release:

N/A

When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

Back in January when we were accepted into the Incubator

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Brian has been very helpful in getting things started, no concerns about any of the mentors.

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

IPMC/Shepherd notes:

[Willem] There are no developement activities in the last three month,and the project failed to submit to report. We may need a rollcall of PPMC for it. It's strange that this project PPMC is thinking about graduation last year.

NLPCraft

A Scala library for NLU applications

NLPCraft has been incubating since 2020-02-13.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Community growth.

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?

Community development wasn't grown last months. The main reason is probably due to core committers were engaged in a 1.0 release tests,documentatation and website update. But there were some initial developers requests to join and contribute during last months.  

How has the project developed since the last report?

The project tests were extended, examples added, documentation and website updated, release 1.0.0. prepared.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:

[PJF] Activity on mailing lists has dropped a lot recently. In recent months, there have been recurring issues getting the team to submit their Podling report. I suspect we may need a Roll Call to see if there are enough PPMC members willing to continue active engagement.

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. Community building
  2. release a new version
  3. redo website and documentation to guide interesting developer

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

Nothing

How has the community developed since the last report?

We got new contributors from different companies and Universities.

How has the project developed since the last report?
