[REPORT] Apache OODT - December 2019
## 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 ## Membership Data: Apache OODT was founded 2010-11-17 (9 years ago) There are currently 46 committers and 45 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Imesha Sudasingha on 2017-08-28. - No new committers. Last addition was Imesha Sudasingha on 2017-08-29. ## Project Activity: 2 Google Summer of Code projects were completed in this quarter. With them a new UI was introduced for OODT and main OODT components were dockerized to support k8s deployment. These features are being further enhanced under 2.x developments which are yet to be released. After around one year silence, OODT 1.9 was released in this October which included the major update of making Avro RPC the default. We are working on a maintenance release, 1.9.x to address a backward compatibility issue introduced with 1.9 release due to avro being default over XML RPC. ## Community Health: Mailing list activity was high due to recent release and completion of GSoC projects. Jira and PR activity were lower compared to last quarter since GSoC projects finished at the beginning of this quarter. We are planning to submit projects for 2020 GSoC program as well.

Last addition was Imesha Sudasingha on 2017-08-29. ## Project Activity: We have just completed 2 GSoC projects. One to improve OODT deployment with docker and the other one was to implement a new UI for OODT OPSUI. Both were completed successfully. However, there are few PRs still required to be merged and some minor improvements requires to be made on top of GSoC contributions for the new features to be usable. Those students will help us get through this. With those additions we are planning to release OODT 2.0. We have 1.9 release on the backlog which is dev completed, but not yet properly tested. We intend to finalize that as well. - Last release was 1.2.5 on 2018-09-13. ## Community Health: - 16 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (300% increase) - 9 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (800% increase) - 19 commits in the past quarter (216% increase) - 7 code contributors in the past quarter (250% increase) - 19 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (375% increase) Overall development activity was very high compared to past quarters due to the GSoC projects. We hope that we will be able to keep this momentum.

## 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 1.2.5 released on Thu Sep 13 2018 - Couple of issues were fixed and released (3 releases) related to OODT 1.2 within the reporting period including support for JDK 8. - On the other hand, 1.9 is almost ready to be released after switching to Avro RPC for communications. This will be released within the coming month. - We are also working on supporting OODT to be built under JDK 10. ## Health report: - Project activity has been quiet except for the 3 1.2.x releases. - Due to Apache DRAT GSoC project, OODT could identify bottlenecks of using XML RPC and could expedite the Avro RPC migration. As a result, Avro RPC support has been made stable along with better logging support. - Despite the number of mails in the lists are lower compared to the last term, contributor involvement has increased within the period where more contributors worked actively within the period. - OODT 1.9 is ready to be released and will be released in the coming month. - After 1.9, we will be moving to the 2.0 development cycle which will be a major step forward. ## PMC changes: - Currently 45 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Imesha Sudasingha on Mon Aug 28 2017 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 46 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Imesha Sudasingha at Tue Aug 29 2017 ## Releases: - 1.2.3 was released on Mon Aug 06 2018 - 1.2.4 was released on Sun Aug 19 2018 - 1.2.5 was released on Thu Sep 13 2018 ## Mailing list activity: - Mailing list activity has increased with increased user queries, developer discussions and releases. The numbers are lower because the auto generated mails (Jenkins/Jira) have decreased within the period. - dev@oodt.apache.org: - 92 subscribers (up 2 in the last 3 months): - 125 emails sent to list (152 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 7 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 8 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

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. ## PMC changes: - Currently 45 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Imesha Sudasingha on Mon Aug 28 2017 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 46 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Imesha Sudasingha at Tue Aug 29 2017 ## Releases: - Last release was 1.2.2 on Mon Mar 05 2018 ## Mailing list activity: Most of the mailing list activities are related to improvements that being done for 1.9 release. - dev@oodt.apache.org: - 91 subscribers (down -1 in the last 3 months): - 156 emails sent to list (74 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 11 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 3 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

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. RELEASES/DEVELOPMENT - Last release was 1.0 on Wed Jun 29 2016 We resolved 0 issues for this release. Development on Apache OODT has been pretty quiet over the last 9 months, but we have recently accepted a large new feature into our code base and are currently working at incorporating that into the mainline branch so that we can run a release with the new features in place. On top of that there has been renewed discussion over the last week or so over the state of Apache OODT development and what we need to do to move forward with the 2.0 roadmap. This has been organised and we should be seeing increased development activity over the coming quarter. COMMUNITY Latest committers and PMC members Radu Maonle(radumanole) on 11th Oct 2015 as committer and PMC member Last committer and PMC member added on 11th October 2015. No new users have spoken up on the mailing list recently, but there has been some interest and patches committed by a volunteer via Jira so we will be working at bringing them into the project. ISSUES There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. HEALTH REPORT The project activity is pretty quiet, but there are still on going efforts in place to help drive wider adoption.
[REPORT] Apache OODT - December 2016
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. RELEASES/DEVELOPMENT - Last release was 1.0 on Wed Jun 29 2016 We resolved 0 issues for this release. We finally reached a point in the platform lifecycle which made sense to release Apache OODT as 1.0. This was done both to signify the stability of what we had but also allow us to prepare for major changes coming in the next major release cycle to modernise the platform and extend what was already in place. These changes will be API breaking and as such we wanted to signify this in the release versioning. It was asked in last months meeting to keep the board updated with regards to driving adoption. To this end this month we have switched our website from Apache CMS to gitsubpub and Jekyll to ease the updating process. Along the website has tried to reduce the science centric focus and add more business use case type content. This will be an ongoing process as we get time to add more content to aid potential users in understanding how OODT can help them. Tom also gave an OODT related talk at Apachecon Europe that had decent attendance and further feedback afterwards. Having spoken to a number of PMC members we feel that reducing the size of the code base and integrating with a number of the other ASF data projects will help bring people on board and as such the roadmap for OODT 2.0 has this aim in mind.

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. RELEASES/DEVELOPMENT - Last release was 0.12 on Feb 19th 2016 We resolved 4 issues for this release. 0.12 was a out of band release for OODT initially the scope was an emergency patch for an API issue, but in preparing for the release we also addressed 3 major issues relating to the the Solr integration for OODT. We have decided to switch to a rough quarterly release schedule to help keep the code active and make sure that commits that get pushed to the project get released in a timely manner, which will give contributors more confidence about when their patches will end up in the stable codebase. February was a busy month on the mailing list with a number of new users showing up and triggering the Solr patches and general questions about OODT usage. The project is specific in its design but we have been working on advertising to a larger crowd for less scientific based data management to draw a larger audience and userbase. At ApacheCon we have 1 presentation and 2 tutorials scheduled for Apache OODT which we hope will drive awareness to wider audiences. As ever it would be nice to see fresh blood on the project helping to increase the development effort on the platform, but the software itself is stable and well used.

It provides components for data capture, curation, metadata extraction, workflow management, resource management, and data processing. RELEASES/DEVELOPMENT For our Christmas-day gift of 2012, we released version 0.5 of OODT [1], which closed out 61 issues in JIRA [2] and provided improvements to: * OODT File Manager, and Lucene- and Solr-based catalog indexing * Curator JAX-RS web application * PushPull remote file retrieval * WEngine workflow system Future work in the next quarter will focus on cross-fertilization projects with Apache Airavata and Apache Tika, as well as fleshing out our Python APIs. OODT Jenkins jobs are now prominently featured from our project home page [3]. Our development mailing lists remain quite popular, while the user list shows less activity. The table below lists the number of postings by list, by month, in 2013: List Jan Feb Mar --- --- --- dev 57 75 12 user 12 16 0 COMMUNITY The North American ApacheCon 2013 conspicuously featured Apache OODT. Seven speakers gave eight presentations about OODT in the "Apache in Science" track at the conference [4]. We established a third social media base at Google Plus [5], complementing our existing Facebook [6] and Twitter [7] presence. We also created a read-only mirror of OODT at Github [8], enabling a wider base of code contributions and future participants. BRANDING There are no outstanding branding issues since our last report. All's good. PRESS Apache OODT received noteworthy attention in two articles penned by our eminent member Chris A. Mattmann: * Nature published "Computing: A Vision for Data Science" [9] in volume 493 (p. 474) featuring Apache OODT, Hadoop, and Tika in the face of "big data". * Software Development Times published "Apache Does Science" [10], discussing OODT's and Apache Airavata's places in scientific endeavors.
