* New Podlings
- iota (formerly Tempo)
- Beam (formerly Dataflow)
* Graduations
None this month.
* Releases
The following releases entered distribution during the month of
January:
- 2016-01-07 Apache Trafodion 1.3.0-incubating
- 2016-01-08 Apache Slider 0.90.2-incubating
- 2016-01-13 Apache HTrace 4.0.1-incubating

- 2016-01-28 Apache FreeMarker 2.3.24-rc01-incubating
Wave's release candidate finally received its 3rd and 4th IPMC +1 votes,
nearly three months after it was submitted to general@incubator on
November 3rd, 2015.
* IP Clearance
- Thomas Weise, Siyuan Hua, Jean-Baptiste Note, and Datatorrent Inc.
donated Kafka on YARN (KOYA), an "app-package" built for use with Apache
Slider (incubating).
* Legal / Trademarks
More podlings have begun reviewing names prior to entry into the Incubator
in order to avoid the inconvenience of mid-incubation name change to
users, developers and Apache Infra.
- The proposed "Dataflow" podling adopted the name "Beam" because the
Dataflow brand was not donated -- Google will continue to provide
"Google Cloud Dataflow".
- The proposed "Tempo" podling renamed itself "iota", in part to avoid the
possibility of confusion with a similarly named project.
* Miscellaneous
- Several podlings experienced difficulties implementing Apache
requirements for LICENSE and NOTICE. Draft documentation provided by
Todd Lipcon was discussed.
- Some incoming proposals have started adopting the "Additional Interested
Contributors" section, which allows people to express interest in the
project while deferring the sensitive subject of commit privileges.

How has the project developed since the last report?
1. We have developed a few more analysis tools to support multi-variable
diagnostic analyses. The new tools are random forest importance ranking
and empirical orthogonal function.
2. We have enhanced the web browser capability of our analysis tools. We
make a callable URL for each service call with user specified
configuration to run the service. With the URL, one can easily share
their analysis configuration and result with their colleagues.
3. The provenance support system is further enhanced by adding a function
to generate a knowledge graph with customizable options for the
entities involved and connections between the entities.
4. We developed a docker image for the analysis system and deployed in our
development server.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Chris Nauroth (cnauroth):
Once again, I'll echo concerns about lack of activity and potential
long-term viability of the project.
Julian Hyde (jhyde):
I share Chris's concerns. The project claim that activity is happening
in private; if so, it would be hugely beneficial to make that activity
public. Having said that, filing a report on time and appointing a
committer is activity, and that is appreciated.

--------------------
Kudu
Kudu is a distributed columnar storage engine built for the Apache Hadoop
ecosystem.
Kudu has been incubating since 2015-12-03.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Continue to move over infrastructure (JIRA, etc) to ASF
2. Build a more diverse development and user community
3. Perform releases under the ASF
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
None.
How has the community developed since the last report?
- In January, we have received patches from three new contributors. The
patches were of varying size (from trivial to quite significant) but
we're encouraged that new developers are finding the patch submission
process approachable.
- Overall >110 patches were committed in January from 11 developers
representing three organizations. Discounting some large patches which
replaced our copyright boilerplate, license notices, etc, around
10-12kloc were changed in January. This is a substantial increase
compared to December which had only 29 patches, representing less than
1000 lines of changed code.
Lines of code are not a primary metric we track, but the above shows
that the community is getting back into rapid and lively development
after a lull during the holiday season. This is also evident in the dev
list traffic (1084 messages so far in January).
- Community members continue to give public talks about Kudu at various
conferences and meetups. Talks were delivered at meetups in Atlanta and
Palo Alto, and more are being scheduled for the coming months.
- The public Kudu Slack channel has proven fairly popular among both the
developer and user communities. The group now has 116 members, of which
~20 are typically active on an average weekday.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Since the last report, we've accomplished the following milestones:
- We set up a workflow and scripting for committers to easily push work
that has been reviewed on Gerrit into our official ASF repository. We
are following the best practices established by the AsterixDB podling.
- We moved over our user and developer discussions to ASF mailing lists
and discontinued usage of our old Google Groups. Migration of JIRA is an
ongoing project which we hope to close out this coming month.
- We set up publicly-accessible precommit builds so that non-Cloudera
contributors can see automated test results for their contributions.
- We adjusted our licensing boilerplate and documentation to comply with
our understanding of ASF policies. We also started to build scripting
for doing ASF-style source releases. We are planning on doing our first
release in the incubator in early Feb.
Date of last release:
None under the ASF. Outside of the ASF, we released 0.6.0 on 11/24/2015.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
None since initial incubation.

log4cxx2
Logging for C++
log4cxx2 has been incubating since 2013-12-09.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Create a release
2. Activate some community
3.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
There's an ongoing discussion to move the project to attic unless it is
able to release in the next few months.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Not grown. However, the project aims to become a sub project of Apache
Logging again. Community growth is not much a matter for this podling, as
long as there are a few active contributors.
How has the project developed since the last report?
After the discussion about the activity of the project and the success of
the incubation process, there's currently a member willing to step through
the release process. The initial plan on incubation anyway was to primary
apply available patches and release those bug fixes.
Additionally, there's once more a discussion about the supported build
platforms, because currently the project heavily focusses on cpptasks,
which is not maintained and simply doesn't support current versions of all
formerly supported IDEs anymore. The current focus is on dropping
cpptasks and ANT for the build of the software and use autoconf and/or
cmake instead.

Milagro
Distributed Cryptography; M-Pin protocol for Identity and Trust
Milagro has been incubating since 2015-12-21.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Import the Software
2. Develop the community
3. Establish the project's identity
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
n/a
How has the community developed since the last report?
The community has voted to invite four further developers to join as
committers and PPMC members. Two of these were omissions from the Initial
Committers list; the others are new. We are in the process of inviting
them.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Milagro is still in the very early stages of incubation, and performing
the mechanical tasks of code movement and infrastructure setup is our
first priority.
We have started developing the community on the Apache mailinglists, but
have yet to move other activities to Apache.
Date of last release:

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Nick Burch (nick):
It's a shame that the large amount of private work done can't be
contributed back to the project, as that could've been a big help. We
are seeing activity again, and the work towards a release which could
help grow interest. More committers are needed, but no strong
candidates are currently visible, so outreach work is needed. Despite
these issues, the project certainly deserves another 3 months to see if
they can turn the corner.

S2Graph
S2Graph is a distributed and scalable OLTP graph database built on Apache
HBase to support fast traversal of extremely large graphs.
S2Graph has been incubating since 2015-11-29.

SystemML
SystemML provides declarative large-scale machine learning (ML) that aims at
flexible specification of ML algorithms and automatic generation of hybrid
runtime plans ranging from single node, in-memory computations, to
distributed computations running on Apache Hadoop MapReduce and Apache
Spark.
SystemML has been incubating since 2015-11-02.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
- Grow SystemML community: increase mailing list activity,
increase adoption of SystemML for scalable machine learning, encourage
data scientists to adopt DML and PyDML algorithm scripts, respond to
user feedback to ensure SystemML meets the requirements of real-world
situations, write papers, and present talks about SystemML.
- Produce a release (in progress).
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
NONE. We have resolved our blocking infrastructure issues related to
project JIRA.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Our mailing list in January had 123 messages (7 of which were Jenkins). We
have had several useful discussions on the mailing list concerning various
aspects of SystemML. We have had several additional discussions on our
JIRA site and in our Pull Request conversations. We have received
usability feedback which includes filing JIRA issues and mailing list
activity.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Numerous additions have been made to the project, including core
functionality, usability improvements, and documentation. The project has
had 96 commits since January 6. In the last 30 days, 126 new issues have
been reported on our JIRA site and 68 issues have been resolved. We are in
the process of producing our first Apache release, version 0.9.0. RC3
passed the SystemML PMC vote and is currently being voted on by the IPMC.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make the project known in projects world-wide.
2. Release more often.
3.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
No.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have new people committing to our project and are in good hope
one or another will join us as an official committer. JUG talks in
Switzerland showed that the project is widely known and well
appreciated in the enterprise context.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The project's API has proven to work very well. We added
additional integrations with several key technologies such
as Spring, OSGI and CDI. We streamlined our build and also

TinkerPop
TinkerPop is a graph computing framework written in Java
TinkerPop has been incubating since 2015-01-16.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Add more members to the PPMC.
2. Add more members to the committer list.
3. N/A (unless the mentors have ideas?)
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be

Nothing at this time.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have 2 new committers: Dylan Millikin and Ted Wilmes. Ted Wilmes has
also joined the PPMC.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Since the last status report, 166 new JIRA issues have been created and127
have been resolved. Travis CI has been enabled so all PRs are
automatically built and tested upon submittal. Open discussions of project
related activities and decisions continue on the TinkerPop dev mailing
list.
We continue to reach out to other Apache projects to discuss integration
possibilities. Since the last report, we have had discussions with Apache
Flink and Apache S2Graph about adding TinkerPop support.
A number of graph providers have released new versions of their software
with TinkerPop support. These include Stardog, Blazegraph, and OrientDB
(via the community driven, orientdb-gremlin). This demonstrates a
continued community interest, and demand for TinkerPop support.
A tutorials section has been added to the TinkerPop homepage along with a
number of tutorials targeted at the TinkerPop beginner. The hope is that
this will lower the barrier of entry for new folks who are interested in
the graph space and TinkerPop in particular.
The following articles/presentations/blogposts were provided about
TinkerPop from TinkerPop members since the last report:

Hadrian Zbarcea (hadrian):
TinkerPop is making good progress. If they focus on the 2 points above
relating to growing the community I think they'll be ready to graduate.

Unomi
Unomi is a reference implementation of the OASIS Context Server
specification currently being worked on by the OASIS Context Server
Technical Committee. It provides a high-performance user profile and event
tracking server.
Unomi has been incubating since 2015-10-05.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Improve documentation on the website
2. Make some incubating releases
3. Grow the community size and diversity.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
None
How has the community developed since the last report?
We got feedbacks from users and interested people. They are now mostly
waiting for the 1.0.0-incubating release. That's our highest priority
right now.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Our focus was on Unomi 1.0.0-incubating release. Unfortunately, a couple
of issues (see next section) blocked the vote.
We are fixing those issues to submit a take 3 on 1.0.0-incubating release.
Date of last release:
Unomi 1.0.0-incubating (take 2) has been called to vote, but the vote
didn't passed due to:
* the src distribution included binaries
* the NOTICE file was incomplete
We were concerned by the NOTICE as it wasn't obvious and not clear (both
on the licensing howto and on the mailing list). Following Justin McLean
advices, we should be able to update the NOTICE (hopefully, this one will
be complete). We are now working on 1.0.0-incubating (take 3) release.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
None
