Hi all,
here is my Suggestion for the Board Report for Edgent.
@Chris: could you check if Mailing list subscribers are correct?
Otherwise I think ist fine to send it out like that.

Edgent
Apache Edgent is a programming SDK and micro-kernel style runtime
that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling
local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming
from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of
all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in
conjunction with centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides
efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the
center to the edge.
Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Re-creating a working community
2. Re-populating the PPMC
3. Replenishing the group of mentors
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
For the past months, there has been very few activity in the project
There have been a hand full of Emails from external peoples in the
last 3 months but the activity in the project has been solely by me
(Julian) .
Julian started an Approach for „Edgent Next“. This is a suggestion to
re-activate activities in the edgent community and integrate it as a middle
layer between several other IoT or Edge relared Projects.
This was also announced on the new i...@apache.org<mailto:i...@apache.org>
Mailing list but on both lists no feedbackl was responded yet.
The main problem we have is that the only active people in the project
came in Late and are not that firm with the codebase. Currently, we
have a codebase for which we have a detailed understanding of the build,
but almost none of the code itself. Furthermore, there has been a lot of
activity in other projects and generally edge processing has developed
further in the recent years.
Thus, there is some discussion going on about the core or the aim of the
project to keep its significance and uniqueness.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* Total, we have 82 subscribers to our mailing list, an increase of 5
since the last report.
* There have been four questions asked by users and little
discussions about these issues on the list
* On April, 4th, Julian Feinauer has Talked about Edgent on the building
iot 2019
· On July 16th Julian Feinauer started a discussion About „Edgent
Next“ on the edgent and iot Mailing lists
How has the project developed since the last report?
* According to JIRA, 0 new issue were added and none were resolved in
the last 90 days
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
After the withdrawal of most of the active committers and PPCM members
currently a new committer, PPMC and mentor-base has to be built.
Currently we try to re-gain the focus of edgent to
Start to rebuild the community and resume development.

When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
In August 2017, we added Christofer Dutz as a new committer
and PPMC member.
In November 2018, we added Julian Feinauer as a new committer
and PPMC member.
Have your mentors been helpful and responsive or are things falling
through the cracks? In the latter case, please list any open issues
that need to be addressed.
I just double checked, but it seems our mentors are not existent
there had been one or two issues where feedback was explicitly
asked for, but both the PPMC as well as all mentors remained silent.
Except Justin mentioning the absence of mentors. Christofer Dutz
joined as new Mentor and is active in the project.
