Hi.

+1 (binding) 

I can see that some issues raised from the last release have still not been 
fixed [1][2]. It would of been good to use the work in progress disclaimer and 
list these in that.

I checked:
- incubating in name
- signatures and hashes fine
- disclaimer exists
- LICENSE seems OK (I can see missing things from last release have been added)
- NOTICE has incorrect year range as pointed out last release
- I didn’t try to compile

Thanks,
Justin

[ANNOUNCE] Apache Druid (incubating) 0.16.0 release

2019-09-24 Thread Clint Wylie
The Apache Druid team is proud to announce the release of Apache Druid
(incubating) 0.16.0. Druid is a high performance analytics data store for
event-driven data.

Apache Druid 0.16.0-incubating contains over 350 new features, performance
enhancements, bug fixes, and major documentation improvements from 50
contributors. Major new features and improvements include:

- 'Vectorized' query processing
- 'Minor' compaction
- Native parallel indexing with shuffle
- New 'indexer' process
- Huge improvements to the web console
- New documentation website
- Official Docker image

Source and binary distributions can be downloaded from:
https://druid.apache.org/downloads.html

Release notes are at:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/releases/tag/druid-0.16.0-incubating

A big thank you to all the contributors in this milestone release!



Disclaimer: Apache Druid is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache
Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates
that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have
stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While
incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or
stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be
fully endorsed by the ASF.

[ANNOUNCE ] Apache Rya - the newest Top-Level Project at ASF

2019-09-24 Thread Adina Crainiceanu
[this announcement is available online at https://s.apache.org/0xc4g ]

The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache® Rya™ as a Top-Level Project

Scalable Open Source Big Data database processes queries in milliseconds;
used in autonomous drones, federated situation-aware access control
systems, and petabyte-scale graphs modeling, among many other applications.

Wakefield, MA —24 September 2019— The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the
all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open
Source projects and initiatives, announced today Apache® Rya™ as a
Top-Level Project (TLP).

Apache Rya (pronounced "ree-uh") is a Cloud-based Big Data triple store
(subject-predicate-object) database used to process queries in
milliseconds. The project was originally developed at the Laboratory for
Telecommunication Sciences, and was submitted to the Apache Incubator in
September 2015.

"We are very excited to reach this important milestone showing the maturity
of the project and of the community around it," said Dr. Adina Crainiceanu,
Vice President of Apache Rya and Associate Professor of Computer Science at
the U.S. Naval Academy. "RDF (Resource Description Framework) triple data
format is simple and flexible, making it easy to express diverse datasets
such as connections between users on social media, financial data and
transactions, medical data, and many others. Rya provides a scalable
solution to store and query such data. The publication of the first
research article about Rya garnered interest from industry, academia, and
several government agencies. Bringing the project to ASF allowed
collaboration and increased pace of development."

With its ability to store billions of linked information sets and return
answers to most computer-based questions in under a second, Rya's scalable
RDF data management system is built on top of Apache Accumulo® to support
SPARQL queries for RDF data. A MongoDB back-end is also implemented. Rya
uses novel storage methods, indexing schemes, and query processing
techniques that scale to billions of triples across multiple nodes.

Rya is in use at organizations such as Enlighten IT Consulting, Modus
Operandi, Parsons Corporation, Semantic Arts, Semantic Web Company, Sierra
Nevada Corporation, and U.S. Department of Defense agencies. Apache Rya is
recognized as one of the most advanced database projects in the United
States Department of the Navy, powering a new generation of drones,
advanced tactical communications through manned-unmanned teaming, and
supporting autonomous swarms of smaller robots, among numerous other
applications. In addition, Apache Rya is being used for artificial
intelligence projects involving semi-autonomous content production
operations.

"I would like to thank our mentors for their guidance and recognize the
Apache Rya founders for making their project available for all to use and
further extend," said Jennifer Brown, Project Manager for Semantic
Technologies at Parsons Corporation, and member of the Apache Rya Project
Management Committee. "In 2012 the founders introduced an RDF store backed
by Apache Accumulo that was capable of basic inferencing, scaling to
billions of triples, and providing millisecond query times. Our Semantic
Technologies team at Parsons Corporation has enjoyed the opportunity to
collaborate with the Apache Rya community to contribute new indexing
strategies, query planner optimizations, additional inference capabilities,
alerting extensions, native support for popular graph processing
frameworks, and more."

"It's great to see Apache Rya has matured into a Top-Level Project. Rya is
a very innovative and Open Source RDF data management system based on Big
Data technology," said Dr. Zhiyuan Chen, Associate Professor, Information
Systems Department, University of Maryland Baltimore County. "We have used
Apache Rya in a variety of research projects ranging from more efficient
query processing techniques over geographically distributed RDF data to
situation-aware access control in federated systems. We found Rya very easy
to use, easy to extend, and extremely efficient."

"Apache Rya has the potential to become one of the most scalable RDF data
management systems on the market," said Andreas Blumauer, Founder and CEO,
Semantic Web Company GmbH and Director, PoolParty Software Ltd.

"Our technology helps organizations discover the rare and hidden patterns
with applied semantics enhancements and AI/ML analytics, to develop Living
Intelligence in a data domain," said Kim Ziehlke, Principal Software
Engineer at Modus Operandi. "Patterns are used to predict potential
opportunities and threats and as a result, our clients can take
preventative action, or take leading-edge advantage in complex decisions.
Modus Operandi has achieved 2+ BILLION triples, sub-second queries,
thousands of unstructured docs processed per second all backed by the
Apache Rya triple store."

"Apache Rya is a foundational piece of technology on our

2019-09-24 Thread Jim Jagielski
First of all, thx for putting this together and thx for starting up a 
discussion/effort in the Incubator about how to improve the Incubator instead 
of just deciding that it is broken and needs to be replaced and/or alternatives 
found (although both of those PoVs have merit).

Let me spend some time digging in on this... It looks like it has usage and 
benefits not only w/i Incubator but elsewhere.

apply access for wiki of incubator proposal

2019-09-24 Thread Ming
Hi,
My name is Ming Wen,  I want to submit a new incubator proposal, and I've
recruited the champion. According to the guidelines:
https://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal.html#preparation, I think I
should apply access for wiki.

I already sign up the wiki using this email, and user name is `ming_wen`.
So could you please give me write access to the wiki of incubator proposal?

Thanks for your help.
