Hi Julian,

thanks for that :-) ... 

we should really get started with reviving Edgent ... really hope I'll find 
some spare time soon.

            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.
