## Description:
Apache OODT is a software framework as well as an architectural style for
the
rapid construction of scientific data systems. It provides components for
data capture, curation, metadata extraction, workflow management, resource
management, and data processing.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- Last release was 1.2.2 on March 5th 2018
- A new PMC chair (Imesha Sudasingha) was elected in April, 2018. (Previous
chair - Tom Barber)
Improved activity compared to last reporting periods with improvements being
made on stabilizing Avro RPC implementations of OODT components and
improving
logging support for OODT. Furthermore, Apache DRAT GSoC student is making
improvements to OODT APIs in order to use OODT functionalities though REST
APIs.
All these new additions will affect towards OODT being an easy to use
platform
for scientific data systems in near future.
## Health report:
We are currently working on 1.9 release which will be the last in line
before
completely removing XML RPC code from the project. As per now, once the
above
mentioned logging improvements are done and workflow manager and resource
manager are stabilized, we are ready to release 1.9. Hopefully within the
next
reporting period.
So, project activity is below average with few contributors making constant
contributions throughout the period.
