Hop

Hop is short for the Hop Orchestration Platform. Written completely in Java it aims to provide a wide range of data orchestration tools, including a visual development environment, servers, metadata analysis, auditing services and so on. As a platform, Hop also wants to be a reusable library so that it can be easily reused by other software.

Hop has been incubating since 2020-09-24.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

identify and resolve the last remaining incompatibly licensed dependencies (if any)
create a first release
grow the community

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

No known significant issues at this moment

How has the community developed since the last report?

3 additional committers, lots of committer and community activity in the last month
14 new registered chat members (108->122)
1 new subscriber to dev (21->22), 0 to users mailing lists (11)
significant follower growth on LinkedIn (309->321), Twitter (233->253) and YouTube (40->50)

How has the project developed since the last report?

Two releases candidates (0.50-rc1, 0.50-rc2) were created but failed to get enough positive votes. Hop will take the feedback and lessons learned from 0.50-rc1 and 0.50-rc2 to build a new 0.60-rc1. Summary of the 2 RCs: https://s.apache.org/06hws

December was a very active month, with continued activity over the holiday period:

metadata perspective
look and feel updates
new transform plugins (UDJC, Token Replacement)
partitioned stream lookup
docker included, community activity on kubernetes
jandex-based plugins
integration testing
community activity on Hop Web
documentation updates

Full details are available in the December monthly roundup: https://hop.apache.org/blog/2021/01/roundup-2021-01/

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

There are no known brand and naming issues. The PPMC only uses "Apache Hop (Incubating)" as the official project name and has explicitly called "Project Hop" deprecated as of the moment of acceptance in the Incubator.

Comments: Good report! I'd say you are through 'initial setup' and can uncheck that box next time. The community is going great, and I'm sure that the first release will happen very soon. One concern: the difference in the number of people on chat vs the dev list (122 vs 22). The traffic on chat is benign (e.g. no major decisions being made) but I am concerned that with so few of the regulars on the dev list, chat will become the de facto place to make decisions. Also I couldn't find a public archive of chat. I'll raise this issue on the dev list.
(hop) Maximilian Michels
Comments: I'm continuing to be amazed by the progress of the Hop project. There is a constant flow of incoming pull requests and the first release is nearing completion. It might not be clear to all community members but I've tried to only step in when necessary, e.g. give feedback to unblock the release process.
(hop) Francois Papon
Comments: The community is still very active and starting to learn the release process. For now, the only issue in the release is the license part and the team is focused on it to prepare a new vote.

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 210 subscribers, an increase of 6% 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.
One new committer has 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, we have secured 34 ICLAs and 7 SGAs,
the most of any quarter so far, from past and present contributors.
We have successfully made our third, fourth, and fifth releases
under the ASF umbrella: NuttX-10.0 followed by security fix releases
NuttX-9.1.1 and NuttX-10.0.1.
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 6 and
sometimes as many as a dozen pull requests merged per day.
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've implemented additional automatic checks on PRs. This has
helped us to improve our review process.

Pegasus

Pegasus is a distributed key-value storage system which is designed to be simple, horizontally scalable, strongly consistent and high-performance.

Pegasus has been incubating since 2020-06-28.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

Attract more contributors and committers.
Make more releases in ASF policy regularly.
Resolve the license problems.

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

N/A

How has the community developed since the last report?

We have recently attracted a new contributor empiredan, who have merged 2 PRs until now.

How has the project developed since the last report?

We are still actively working towards the next big release, which may be called 2.2.0. We have open-sourced 3 subprojects that were temporarily maintained outside the Apache orgnization:

Those are tiny tools but also considered as very important complement to the Pegasus ecosystem. pegic and meta-proxy are still in the initial stage. Developing under the "pegasus-kv" orgnization gets us full control of the Github settings so that we can move faster. admin-cli is nearly completed and license-cleared and will soon be migrated to Apache. The three projects will all eventually be moved to Apache.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:

Justin Mclean: I like to see some explanation on why the sub-projects are being maintained outside of the project. There are branding and trademark issues and it may be best to consider moving them in-house. Also please list 3 unfinished issues that you still need to do to graduate.

Justin Mclean: Thanks for the explanation, if might be better if you you worked with Infra on the GitHub settings, developing code outside the ASF is likely to cause a number of issues in the future when the code is moved.

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.Adjust project goal && project name 2.Keep growing the community, attract more contributors and committers 3.Release Apache standard releases regularly

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

We hope more IPMCs will pay attention to our project and give more suggestions.

How has the community developed since the last report?

Since the last report, the TubeMQ community has continued to improve its functions as well as external publicity and communication; at the same time, we PPMCs conducted a discussion on adjusting project objectives and project names. We hope to provide a complete one-stop streaming data service platform: the system integrates a series of components in the form of plug-ins for collection, aggregation, storage and forwarding to build a complete data reporting service; based on this platform, users only need to publish and subscribe to data, and they can easily build analysis and applications based on streaming data; and TubeMQ will continue to develop in this project.

How has the project developed since the last report?

At this stage, we released the SDK of the Python language and the tubemq-manager module for cluster management. The tubemq-manager module is used for cross-cluster control to make the project more usable; we have also made a number of improvements in the function of the project, for details information, please refer to our project issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/TUBEMQ/issues.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:

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:

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

How has the community developed since the last report?

How has the project developed since the last report?

How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Are things falling through the cracks? If so, please list any open issues that need to be addressed.

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

Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name?
