Hello all, I have spent quite a number of days on Apache Milagro over the last couple of weeks, and I’m hopeful that we now have the tools at our disposal to succeed.
On that note, the committers have accomplished the following in May: 1. Updates and bug fixes to the core Milagro crypto library. 2. 3 new committers - Giorgio Zoppi, Chris Morris, and Alessandro Budroni and 2 contributors - John McCane Whitney and Howard Kitto. 3. 1 new PPMC - Giorgio Zoppi because he’s such a rock star 4. Setup a Milagro Confluence site where all contributors and PPMC members can create content at will. 5. Got myself added as admin to Milagro JIRA, and have added some contributors, all committers and PPMC members so that we can collaborate at will and efficiently. On that note, I have also setup the Kanban board and cleaned out the dead/redundant/duplicate issues. https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/MILAGRO/issues/MILAGRO-18?filter=allopenissues 6. Got back in touch with Patrick Hilt, which was nice, and Patrick also want to remain involved on the PPMC and contribute where he can to Milagro development. 7. Had Qredo sign a CCLA, and have ICLA’s on file for all contributors working at Qredo. Shout out to Justin Mclean who has been exceptionally helpful. To Do: 1. File Podling report for June, due in a few days. 2. Move existing website on SVN to new githubpubsub ‘asf-site’ branch publishing system. Will file JIRA request with Infra. 3. Travis - CI for milagro-crypto-c and milagro-javascript repos. Will file JIRA request with Infra. 4. Sadly, we will need a new mentor as Nick Kew has been unresponsive, which is hardly surprising given the disappointing progress made before this month. Hopefully we can get him re-engaged at some point. I will send a solicitation to IPMC to see if there are any kind souls willing to help. GOING FORWARD: What I need from all committers and engaged contributors is some feedback and discussion on direction for Milagro. I have put these thoughts and proposals into a blog post on our Confluence page. REQUEST: Please put your comments into the reply on this thread, not in the comments section on Confluence. Tracking comments in both areas will slow down consensus building. Please review the post here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MILAGRO/2019/06/01/Updating+Milagro Thanks Brian
