HI Mirko, thanks for writing this up … Only one thing maybe: „nothing critical right now” sort of implies that there might be “something important” or “something”.
If you think there is anything (even less than critical), it should go in the report, if there’s nothing, just write “nothing” ;-) And regarding the release process … it’s actually streamlined down to the default Maven release and that has been established as a best practice over many, many years. I just think you need to finally get your setup working. I thought you had used the Community over Code to sort out the issues. If not, that would have been a shame and I’d probably just do the release in a few days. Chris Von: Mirko Kämpf <[email protected]> Datum: Freitag, 7.

The resulting tools and curated training artefacts can be used for training purposes in various media formats, languages and for various Apache and non-Apache target projects. Training has been incubating since 2019-02-21. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Review and eventually simplify the release process for training artefacts - or at least confirm finally, that we use the existing flow as it is to go on 2. Establish a sharing culture with other projects - Apache Training needs a link to other projects so that the training artefacts can be owned but contributed by the creators of the project, but share via Apache Training 3. Grow the community so that non-tech contributors can find a home inside the ASF, by joining Apache Training as tech-writer, translator, or educator who helps us to spread the words. ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?- nothing critical right now ### How has the community developed since the last report?- the last report was delayed, to access issues but now it works. - the collaboration between Apache Wayang and Apache Training has been established - the joint presentation at the CoC 2024 in Bratislava is a result - one non-tech contributor (from CISO domain) has been interviewed and we work on his onboarding - we have currently 18+4 items in the content repository - during CoC we found approx 5 people who reached out to us and offered content. ### How has the project developed since the last report? - I did multiple attempts to release the tools-subproject, but due to permission issues I am not able to to go through the full procedure. - I still need support to sort out this access permission issues. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary. - [OK] Initial setup - [OK] Working towards first release - [W.I.P.] Community building - [ ] Nearing graduation - [ ] Other: ### Date of last release: 2024-04-XX (last attempt to release the tools subproject) ### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?August 2024 ### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive? Are things falling through the cracks? If so, please list any open issues that need to be addressed. - access rights for the release manager, who is blocked in the middle of the release process ### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks? Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name? - no activities on this yet ### Signed-off-by: - [ ] (training) Craig Russell Comments: - [ ] (training) Christofer Dutz Comments: - [ ] (training) Justin Mclean Comments: - [ ] (training) Lars Francke Comments: ### IPMC/Shepherd notes: Please add comments, suggestions. I will bring the report over the finishing line as soon as possible. Cheers, Mirko -- Dr. rer. nat. Mirko Kämpf Müchelner Str. 23 06259 Frankleben
