Add Slider report
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
- 1.
- 2.
- 3.
+ 1. Getting more external users
+ 2. Getting more diverse set of developers
+ 3. Getting more diverse set of committers/PMC
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
+ No.

+ We continue to see regular interaction with users who are trying out
+ Apache Slider (incubating). Questions range from introductory "I'm
+ trying to do $x" to bug reports "I did $a and encountered an issue $b".
+ The committers try their best to keep people involved and steer them
+ toward contributions. The strong majority of contributions continue to
+ come from existing podling members.
- Date of last release:
- XXXX-XX-XX
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
- When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
+ The IP clearance for the Apache Kafka Slider "app-package" process
+ was addressed (after discussion on general@i.a.o) and this codebase was
+ merged in. This was a great contribution by a few external developers
+ and very much appreciated.
+ Work continues on "phase 2" of some long-term work to include support
+ for running Docker containers in Slider. The intent behind this work is
+ that we will make it easier for (prospective) users to build
+ applications that can run on Slider. There is a tentative patch on
+ SLIDER-906 and some related documentation updates.
+ We have agreed upon a next release (0.91) happening in May, but have
+ not made any significant progress towards that release yet.
+
+ We had a discussion put forth about the future of Slider by a podling
+ member. At the inception of Slider, Apache Hadoop's YARN was not ready
+ to support long-lived services "natively". While Slider has been in
+ incubation, YARN has continued to grow towards treating these services
+ natively, partly as a result of requirements necessary of Slider to
+ work. As such, we discussed whether it would make sense to ask the YARN
+ project if they would be interesting in combining efforts, moving the
+ core of Slider into YARN itself. The Slider community reacted
+ positively, noting that YARN is likely a better long-term home for the
+ core of Slider; however, there were a few points raised that would need
+ to be addressed before any action was actually taken. The mail
discussion
+ can be found at https://s.apache.org/3ywX
