Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer has been incubating since 2015-05-08. The achievements in October of 2016 are: 1. Drafted the Apache CMDA project web page 2. Developed a mechanism to keep track of user id in each service call 3. Designed a mechanism to define a workflow, to execute a workflow, to collect the result and provenance from the workflow execution. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. To facilitate workflow scenarios in which a scientist can chain two or more services; 2. To develop a suite of science use cases; 3. To demonstrate the use of provenance in recommendation of data, users, and services. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? A climate scientist Frank Lee has joined the project to develop science use cases. The priority has been shifted to helping him in adding new source data files and modifying the software to accommodate these new data files. How has the project developed since the last report? The issues that we found from our 2016 Caltech/JPL climate summer school have been addressed. Examples are: a mechanism to capture and store user id for provenance data collection, and removal of some functionalities that are not meant for users that do not have login accounts on our website. Date of last release: XXXX-XX-XX When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Signed-off-by: [ ](climatemodeldiagnosticanalyzer) James W. Carman [X](climatemodeldiagnosticanalyzer) Chris Mattmann [ ](climatemodeldiagnosticanalyzer) Michael James Joyce [ ](climatemodeldiagnosticanalyzer) Kim Whitehall Shepherd/Mentor notes: Chris Mattmann: I'm worried still about this podling. Discussion seemed to still happen offlist and to be summarized to the list, instead of actively involving others in the community. Also, it says the website has been drafted - where is it? Where are the corresponding JIRA issues? Where are the public discussions about the site. The podling is/was on a short leash since the [DISCUSS] Retirement vote. I'd say give it one more month, and would appreciate others chiming in here. The other thing I'd say is that there is definitely mentor attrition here. I don't think we have enough active mentors reinforcing and sending the message (myself included) day to day. It's definitely more reactive now than proactive. The podling could use some help in that area. -------------------- DataFu DataFu provides a collection of Hadoop MapReduce jobs and functions in higher level languages based on it to perform data analysis. It provides functions for common statistics tasks (e.g. quantiles, sampling), PageRank, stream sessionization, and set and bag operations. DataFu also provides Hadoop jobs for incremental data processing in MapReduce. DataFu has been incubating since 2014-01-05. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Resolve NOTICE and LICENSE issues for binary distributions 2. Continued releases 3. Increased committer activity Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?

Combined with cloud hosting, Guacamole provides an excellent alternative to traditional desktops. Guacamole aims to make cloud-hosted desktop access preferable to traditional, local access. Guacamole has been incubating since 2016-02-10. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. **Making the first Guacamole release under the Apache Incubator** 2. Encouraging community participation and contribution 3. Accepting additional committers Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? It is clear that the continuing lack of a release is a major obstacle to community development, especially given outstanding pull requests which cannot be merged due to pre-release code freeze. We believe that the source and documentation are finally up-to-date with respect to Apache and the Incubator, and that we are ready to move forward with the procedures surrounding the release. Any assistance in navigating our first release would be greatly appreciated. How has the community developed since the last report? Community participation has remained roughly the same as last report. Mailing list participation is active but unchanged. Since last report, we have received an additional 3 pull requests, and have engaged the contributors for code review. Code looks good, and response to feedback has been professional, but merge is blocked until we can get the first release out of the way. How has the project developed since the last report? All outstanding issues which were aimed at the project's first release (0.9.10-incubating) have been completed, as have all bugs discovered during testing. We have made preparatory changes to the project website with the release in mind. The project's old SourceForge forums have finally been closed, replaced by the mailing lists. The forums have been left in read-only mode for the sake of reference, with a stickied announcement notifying users of the move. Date of last release: 2015-12-18 (0.9.9, prior to Apache Incubator) When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

Slider has been incubating since 2014-04-29. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Apache Slider community/PPMC has voted to move portions of Slider into Apache Hadoop YARN as modules. It is possible that the remaining pieces will be moved at a later point in time or become obsolete or evolve to work closely with YARN. Slider PPMC will decide what makes the most sense as we progress through this exciting time. 2. Getting more external users 3. Growth of a diverse set of developers/committers/PMC members is also crucial towards the final state of Slider Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No. How has the community developed since the last report? The Apache Hadoop YARN community/PMC and Apache Slider community/PPMC had decided to move portions of Slider into YARN, to make fast and significant progress on: YARN-4692 - [Umbrella] Simplified and first-class support for services in YARN. As a result, the Slider Core module (including Application Master, Client and Java unit tests) has been rolled into an Apache Hadoop YARN feature branch as a hadoop-yarn-slider-core module. This effort is being captured in: YARN-5079 : Native YARN framework layer for services. All the migrations are happening in a branch (namely yarn-native-services) created of off Hadoop trunk. As a result of this, we are already seeing interest in the Hadoop committers/PMC, who have started to contribute and submit patches to Slider. In order to support existing users of Slider, and to provide seamless migration, there will be sufficient overlap between the time when a stable state of long running services support is available in some future version of YARN and the time till an independent Slider release is available. The community/PPMC will also determine the future state of Slider as we navigate through these changes. The discussions on the Slider and YARN community DLs can be viewed here - https://s.apache.org/0hoh https://s.apache.org/MncV For the benefit of those who would like to use Slider Core from the Hadoop codebase, but continue to use classic Slider Agent and legacy app-packages, a new branch (yarn-native-services) has been created in classic Slider repo. This branch retains only the Agent (python) code and the App Packages. It adds Slider Core module as a Hadoop dependency. This allows users to consume the latest of Slider Core. Future classic Slider releases can be made purely off of this branch. Additionally an effort is being made to create an agent-less provider for legacy app-packages, which could help users to completely migrate to Hadoop codebase for creating long-running services with Slider. Expectation from app-package owners would be to make minor modification of their packages. Primary changes would be to shed the dependency on python Agent code, effectively making packages much simpler than what they look like today in classic Slider. How has the project developed since the last report? There has been fewer bug fixes on the classic Slider side as most of the focus has been on developing features on native YARN services in the Hadoop codebase. Work continues on support for complex services (assemblies) and agent-less applications in Slider. The efforts on Slider Core will continue in the new services branch created in YARN. Few key features which were merged to classic Slider as well were - SLIDER-875 - Ability to create an Uber application package with capability to deploy and manage as a single business app, and SLIDER-1107 - Generate app configuration files in AM. Several issues identified by Coverity scans were resolved as well. Additionally few patches were contributed by the community fixing functional and performance issues. Slider community plans to ship a release in the next quarter with all these features and bug fixes.

The information is organized and presented using operational analytics so that a security analyst can investigate the most suspicious connections. Apache Spot is built on an open data model using Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop. Spot has been incubating since 2016-09-23. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: - Move infrastructure and development to ASF (code, issues, mailing list, …) - Build diverse community - Demonstrate ability to create releases Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? We currently have a hard dependency via our LDA implementation that requires a GPL license. A rewrite is in progress to move the code from LDA-C to Spark LDA. How has the community developed since the last report? This is first report after accepting Apache Spot to incubator and we still have not transitioned everything to ASF. We do however see increased interest in the project, primarily on our Slack channel. How has the project developed since the last report? This is first report.

SystemML has been incubating since 2015-11-02. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: - Grow SystemML community: increase mailing list activity, increase adoption of SystemML for scalable machine learning, encourage data scientists to adopt DML and PyDML algorithm scripts, respond to user feedback to ensure SystemML meets the requirements of real-world situations, write papers, and present talks about SystemML. - Continue to produce releases. - Increase the diversity of our project's contributors and committers. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? NONE. How has the community developed since the last report? Our mailing list from August through October had 375 messages on a wide range of topics. We have gained 4 new contributors to the main project since August 1st. Our website has been redesigned with the help of several design engineers and we have commits from 3 new contributors to the website project. On GitHub, the project has been starred 417 times and forked 156 times.

Tamaya has been incubating since 2014-11-14. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Extend Community 2. Improve Documentation and release base components 3. Graduate als TLP in 2017 after next releases Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? After our next releases and improving our homepage we'd like to graduate as a TLP in 2017. How has the community developed since the last report? We have increasing feedback of use cases to be covered and also a few bug reports, so Tamaya is used by developers and companies. Additionally we are doing regular bi-weekly hangouts and have defined a well defined roadmap to release and restructure our project. Apart from that we gathered feedback from JavaOne 2016: official Configuration JSR proposal and Anatole had a talk there. The conflicts that arose in the past seem to be solved as some of the mentors and early committers have left the project. Since we've established our hangouts we have the feeling of beeing more connect and able to work towards a common goal. How has the project developed since the last report? Apart from the main project we established new repositories to hold extensions and sandbox modules. In order to get rid of the problematic webpage generation we decided to start from scratch. In addition to making the API more smooth, we try to keep the base repository/project as lean as possible and prepare a next release. Due to various technical issues (infrastructure behaves differently from local builds and checkouts) we did not meet our deadline on getting a release out by the end of October.

It provides a high-performance user profile and event tracking server. Unomi has been incubating since 2015-10-05. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Continued releases, and updated dependencies 2. Grow up user and contributor communities, seeing more contribution/PR Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? We are still targeting the development of the user community. For that, we discussed about improving and polishing the website. Today, it's obvious that it's not easy to understand what Unomi can do and actually does. The purpose is to give more use cases and introduction on the mailing list. Some small improvements have been performed in that way. How has the project developed since the last report? The second Apache Unomi 1.1.0-incubating has been released. We updated key dependencies and provided new features in addition of the bug fixes. We also fixed the LGPL issue in the binary distribution. The Unomi rules and conditions engine has been improved as well. Date of last release: 2016-10-03 When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
