Executive Officer Reports A. Chairman [Brett] A discussion has started over the last month about potential updates to the bylaws, related to quorum requirements and the requirements for transition to and return from emeritus membership. This may develop into a concrete proposal in future months. As others detail in their reports, we have produced an annual report, which is great to see! Many thanks to all involved. B. President [Ross] We have confirmed a booth at OSCON and a number of folks have stepped forward to help staff the booth (Thanks Dennis Hamilton, Shane Curcuru and Roman Shaposhnik). There is (at the time of writing) no report from Brand Management. However, Shane has informed me verbally of an organization that has indicated a concern about our trademark registration policy as it directly affects their business. In short this company has been asked to stop using its usual marketing materials in a geographic region as the associated Apache mark is not currently registered in that region. Given time during the discussion items I would like to discuss this in order to get guidance from the board. Marketing have published our first Annual report, something we have talked about producing for a number of years. In recent years a number of sponsors have asked for this information. It is fantastic to see this actually completed and I look forward to our VPs Fundraising providing feedback on its effectiveness. This was an effort that involved coordinating across many offices. My thanks go to Sally for this work, as well as to all who contributed (Ross Gardler, Chris Mattmann, Rich Bowen, Jim Jagielski, Hadrian Zbarcea, David Nalley, and Shane Curcuru, as well as Daniel Gruno and Tony Stevenson of the ASF Infrastructure team, and Tom Pappas of Virtual). At the time of writing no report from Fundraising has been received. In this months financial package from Virtual a question was raised about invoices from May 2014 (totaling $200k) that remain unpaid despite (in two cases) the sponsors name still being present on our thanks page. I've asked VP's Fundraising to look into this. Infrastructure hit some problems with an SVN migration which resulted in some down time. The service was rolled back to allow for a proper diagnostic. Our two US based contractors have been moved to Virtual as a PEO. At the time of writing no report has been submitted by the Travel Assistance committee. With ApacheCon EU ramping up I expect to have reports in the coming months. Melissa reports the process has not yet started. Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 6. C. Treasurer [Chris] The Treasurer's Office welcomes Jan Iversen and Kevin A. McGrail as our new Assistant Treasurer's. A meeting was held between the Treasurer, the two new Assistant Treasurer's and the former Assistant Treasurer Sam Ruby. There is some expected ramp up, and the new Assistants will begin helping write reports, interacting with Virtual and spelling Chris. The transition away from Wells Fargo is proceeding. Currently the Treasurer's Office is working to transfer and close out the Savings & Checking accounts, and to wrap up any remaining connections to WFS. In addition, Credit Card statements have been downloaded from WFS for record keeping purposes. Citizens Bank is our operational account at the moment and bills/operational aspects are being paid out of that account. Monthly P&L reports are now being regularly sent out. Thanks to Virtual for taking care of this. The Treasurer's Office contributed to the ASF Annual Report. Thanks to Sally and team for pushing that forward. Amazon payments transition into the new donation system has been completed. There are remaining funds in Amazon Payments that Virtual will proceed to transfer into our operational account at Citizens. Income and Expenses for May 2015 CASH BASIS Current Balances: Citizens Checking $1,086,536 Amazon- ASF Payments $18,789 Paypal - ASF $56,813 Wells Fargo Checking - ASF $330,523 Wells Fargo Savings $288,220 Total Checking/Savings $1,780,881 Income Summary: Public Donations $2,415 Amazon and Paypal Sponsorship Program $32,000 Programs Income $- Interest Income $15 Total Income $34,429 Expense Summary: Infrastructure $8,818 Sponsorship Program $- Programs Expense $- Publicity $- Brand Management $- Conferences $- Travel Assistance Committee $- Treasury Services $- General & Administrative $524 Total Expense $9,342 Net Income $25,087 D. Secretary [Craig] May was a busy month for secretary. In May 140 iclas, four cclas, and four grants were received and filed. E. Executive Vice President [Rich] The ApacheCon CFP for Europe is open for a little while longer (July 1). ApacheCon dates for Vancouver have been published to the website, so that we can mark our territory in terms of dates. This was done due to the Strata conflict with EU. We've also attempted to establish closer communication with major conference organizations to prevent that happening again. F. Vice Chairman [Greg] I've discovered that I have an Action Item to get action items into the agenda for review and prodding :-P ... and will dig in for next month.

Special Order 7B, Change the Apache Lucene Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present. 8. Discussion Items Use of Apache Trademarks in marketing materials for non-Apache products potentially being blocked by our lack of registration in geographic regions. There is an organization that has received cease-and-desist in another country for marketing materials that reference Apache projects. The company that has issued the cease-and-desist has registered Apache trademarks in that country. The organization is a significant sponsor of Apache. Long term, if they cannot market their association with Apache, Apache may get less support. Ross: "If you market your product without mentioning Apache, you are not affected by this issue." Shane: "You should be able to mention Apache in your advertising. Apache should attempt to protect our marks, especially in countries that have a first-to-file trademark law." @Ross @Shane discuss how to move this issue forward 9.

Thanks to those members helping out on trademarks@, especially folks surfacing questions from various private@project lists for advice. Several previously requested project registrations are currently on hold due to administrative issues. Approved the new names Apache: Big Data and ApacheCon: Core for the updated ApacheCon branding used by LF. Investigating a report that a notable contributor to Apache projects is being threatened with legal action related to their use of our APACHE brand on their products. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 3: Report from the VP of Fundraising [Hadrian Zbarcea] This was a slower and uneventful month. We are waiting for payments from a couple of sponsors.

Sally worked with Hadrian and David in recognizing PhoenixNAP on the ASF Sponsor "Thanks" page for their donated products/services, and with PhoenixNAP on their press release announcing their Sponsorship. Sally has also assumed management of the @PlanetApache Twitter feed, which is now following the accounts of Apache Committers and contributors, and continues to solicit use cases and testimonials on behalf of Apache CouchDB. The ASF video documentary produced by George Syrimis is in the filming/interviewing process. III. Press Releases: the following formal announcements were issued via the newswire service, ASF Foundation Blog, and announce@apache.org during this timeframe: - 02 June 2015 --The Apache® Software Foundation Announces Annual Report for 2014-2015 Fiscal Year - 19 May 2015 --The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache™ Drill™ 1.0 IV. Informal Announcements: 7 items were published on the ASF "Foundation" Blog, and 33 items were tweeted on @TheASF. No new videos have been updated on the ASF YouTube channel. 5 Apache News Round-ups were issued, with a total of 36 weekly summaries published to date. V. Future Announcements: We are waiting to hear back from two projects that requested assistance with issuing a formal announcement. Projects preparing to graduate from the Apache Incubator as well as PMCs wishing to announce major project milestones and "Did You Know?" success stories are welcome to contact Sally at for more information. Kindly provide at least 2-weeks' notice for proper planning and execution. VI. Media Relations: we responded to 11 media requests, including two weeks of background/fact-checking for the Wall Street Journal. The ASF received 955 press clips over this time period, vs. last month's clip count of 496. VII. Analyst Relations: we responded to 2 analyst queries. Apache was mentioned in 29 reports by Gartner, 8 reports by Forrester, 23 reports by 451 Research, and 3 reports by IDC. Sally received a preview copy of the Forrester report on Cloud platform standards that included Apache CloudStack. VIII. ApacheCon liaison: Sally finalized edits for The Linux Foundation's announcements for the new "Apache: Big Data" and "ApacheCon: Core" events in Europe, and has been helping promote their respective CFPs. IX. (Non-ASF) Industry Events and Outreach liaison: Sally continues to work with Ross and Melissa Warnkin on the ASF's presence at future events, and has secured a keynote speaking opportunity for Joan Touzet, who will be presenting "Evolve or Perish! Improving OSS Communities The Apache Way" at the Texas Linux Festival. In addition, she is working with Rich and ComDev on promoting future MeetUps and related regional events, and is preparing the ASF's presence at OSCON with Melissa. X. Newswire accounts: we have 13 pre-paid press releases with NASDAQ GlobeNewswire through the end of 2016, and continue to receive gratis news release distribution in the UK by Pressat. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [David Nalley] New Karma: ========== n/a Finances: ========== $3150 - cloud related expenses $17.49 - domain renewals Operations Action Items: ======================== n/a Short Term Priorities: ====================== SSL --- The issues reported last month seem to have been dealt with earlier in the month. SVN --- Disk usage on our SVN host became an issue. We attempted a service migration to a cloud-based host with more storage. We migrated the service and then discovering problems that weren't found in testing; rolled back. Long Range Priorities: ====================== Automation ---------- Moving to RTC for our configuration management code has been an interesting exercise, it certainly hasn't found all of our issues but is forcing cognizance of what and how folks are getting things done. In addition we are seeing a number of issues fixed during review, before they get pressed into service. Resilience ---------- We made little progress on improving our resiliency this month. Technical Debt -------------- We made little progress on reducing our technical debt. Monitoring ---------- This month has seen a sharp rise in false positives in monitoring. This naturally adds to the workload of the oncall person, and is frustrating. Work is ongoing to reduce the amount of false positives that wakes folks up. General Activity: ================= As of June 1, Chris Lambertus and Geoff Coreys are now employees within the Virtual PEO. Uptime Statistics: ================== ----------------------------------------- Attachment 6: Report from the Apache Travel Assistance Committee [Gavin McDonald] ----------------------------------------- Attachment 7: Report from the VP of W3C Relations [Andy Seaborne] W3C has adopted a new Software and Document License. This updates the the W3C Software License to cover documentation.

This is not the license for published specifications. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 8: Report from the Apache Legal Affairs Committee [Jim Jagielski] An active month, as measured by mailing list and JIRA activity, but nothing that requires board attention or action at this time. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 9: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark Cox] Short stats for May. We receive: 1 Support question 6 Phishing/spam/proxy/attacks point to site "powered by Apache" or Confused user due to Android licenses Vulnerability reports: 3 [httpd, via security@] (1 rejected) 1 [axis, via security@] 1 [site, via security@] rejected 1 [jackrabbit, via security@] 1 [activemq, via security@] 1 [various, via security@] 1 [tomee, via security@] 1 [hive, via security@hive] rejected 1 [struts, via security@struts] ----------------------------------------- Attachment A: Report from the Apache Abdera Project [Ant Elder] Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. The last report was talking about moving to the attic, nothing has been done about that yet though. Abdera still has minimal activity, a miss- filed JIRA to get resolved though. No board issues. ----------------------------------------- Attachment B: Report from the Apache ActiveMQ Project [Bruce Snyder] Apache ActiveMQ is a popular and powerful open source messaging server. Apache ActiveMQ is fast, supports many cross language clients and protocols, comes with easy to use enterprise integration patterns and many advanced features while fully supporting JMS 1.1, J2EE 1.4, AMQP 1.0. Community: * The development and user lists continue to remain active * Two resignations from the PMC, but upon further discussion and consideration, both have suspended the request * New mailing list created for JIRA issues, git pull requests, etc. named issues@activemq.apache.org * Donated code base renamed to ActiveMQ Artemis (based on a vote) * Marc Schöchlin voted in as a committer on 16 May 2015 * Jeff Genender voted in as a committer on 16 May 2015 * Developing guidelines on what it takes to become a committer on the ActiveMQ project * Discussions have started around some of the differences between the processes of the ActiveMQ community and the Artemis developer workflow to get them aligned with the expectations of the entire community. Development: * Development on ActiveMQ 5.12 is in progress and remains very active * Development on ActiveMQ Artemis 1.0.1 is in progress and is active * Development on ActiveMQ Apollo seems to have stalled Trademark / Branding Status: * Sub-projects need to be reviewed to make sure they are also compliant with trademark policies * Documentation also being reviewed for compliance Releases: * ActiveMQ Artemis 1.0.0 released on May 29, 2015 * ActiveMQ 5.10.2 and ActiveMQ 5.11.1 released on February 17, 2015 ----------------------------------------- Attachment C: Report from the Apache Allura Project [Dave Brondsema] ## Description: Apache Allura is an open source implementation of a software forge, a web site that manages source code repositories, bug reports, discussions, wiki pages, blogs, and more for any number of individual projects. ## Activity: - Logos created and proposed by a design contributor. Project selected one. - New http://allura.apache.org homepage developed and accepted, from a webdev contributor. - A small code contribution from a new contributor. - Ongoing discussion, tickets, development from the active committers. - No user activity. ## Issues: - No issues needing board attention. ## PMC/Committership changes: - Currently 12 committers and 12 PMC members in the project. - Heith Seewald was added to the PMC on Fri Mar 06 2015 - Heith Seewald was added as a committer on Fri Mar 06 2015 ## Releases: - Last release was 1.2.1 on Mon Feb 16 2015 ----------------------------------------- Attachment D: Report from the Apache Any23 Project [Lewis John McGibbney] ## Description: Anything To Triples (Any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. ## Activity: Progress has been slow and typical of Any23 generally. We have one Google Summer of Code project currently ongoing with Nisala Mendis as student and Lewis John McGibbney and Micehele Mostarda as co mentors. This is Any23's first GSoC effort and is going well so far. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time however we are aware that Any23 community is not growing much. Hopefully GSoC will provide an opportunity for us to further engage and recruit more PMC members. ## PMC/Committership changes: - Currently 13 committers and 13 PMC members in the project. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Stephane Corlosquet at Mon Sep 08 2014 - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Stephane Corlosquet at Mon Aug 18 2014 ## Releases: - Last release was 1.1 on Tue Oct 28 2014 ## Mailing list activity: - dev@any23.apache.org: - 33 subscribers (up 5 in the last 3 months): - 183 emails sent to list (164 in previous quarter) - user@any23.apache.org: - 41 subscribers (up 3 in the last 3 months): - 15 emails sent to list (33 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 9 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 0 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months ----------------------------------------- Attachment E: Report from the Apache APR Project [Jeff Trawick] ## Description: The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project creates and maintains software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The sub-projects which are released somewhat regularly are APR and APR-util. In addition, the APR-iconv sub-project is commonly used but has not had a release since 2007. ## Activity: - Mailing list activity was relatively heavy during discussion of APR 1.5.2 (released this quarter) but has been minimal since then. - Commit activity has been low since APR 1.5.2 was released. - Six bugs were opened during the reporting period, and around fifteen bugs had followup (closure or discussion) during the period. (A number of these with followup were fixed in APR 1.5.2.) ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## PMC/Committership changes: - Currently 65 committers and 39 PMC members in the project. - Yann Ylavic was added to the PMC on Wed May 13 2015 - Christophe Jaillet was added as a committer on Sat Mar 14 2015 ## Releases: - 1.5.2 was released on Wed Apr 29 2015 ## Mailing list activity: - dev@apr.apache.org: - 357 subscribers (down -2 in the last 3 months): - 136 emails sent to list (55 in previous quarter) - bugs@apr.apache.org: - 19 subscribers (up 1 in the last 3 months): - 54 emails sent to list (27 in previous quarter) ----------------------------------------- Attachment F: Report from the Apache Archiva Project [Olivier Lamy] ----------------------------------------- Attachment G: Report from the Apache Aurora Project [Bill Farner] Apache Aurora is a service scheduler used to schedule jobs onto Apache Mesos. Project Status --------- Since our last 0.8.0 release Apache Aurora has been working on bug fixes and packaging (deb, rpm) to help users with the install process. Design discussions for health checks have been occurring on the mailing list and progress has started towards our next release candidate (0.9.0) and we hope to make it available in the next two weeks. Community --- Latest Additions: * PMC addition: Zameer Manji, 2014-01-14 * Contributor addition: Joshua Cohen, 2015-02-02 Issue backlog status since last report: * Created: 37 [1] * Resolved: 30 [2] Mailing list activity since last report: * @dev 96 messages * @reviews 447 messages Releases --- Last release: 0.8.0 was released on 2015-05-15 [1]: http://s.apache.org/EhX [2]: http://s.apache.org/dfe ----------------------------------------- Attachment H: Report from the Apache Axis Project [Deepal Jayasinghe] The Apache Axis project is responsible for the creation and maintenance of software related to the Axis Web Services frameworks and subsidiary components. Axis project consists of multiple sub projects: Axis2 (Java), Axis2 (C), Rampart (Java), Rampart (C), Sandesha, Sandesha2 (C), Savan, and Axis. Community ========= Level of participation on developer community is none, and board raised several concerns on health of the project. User community was somewhat active but level of participation was significantly low compared what it used to be. Releases ======================== No major releases for all the core and sub projects. Axis2 Java was waiting a release from WS project (Apache AXIOM) and it came available on 6/12/2015. Now we will push forward an Axis2 release (probably the last release before moving to attic). Alone with Axis2 many of other sub projects will also have their own releases. Last releases: Axis2/Java: April 2012 Rampart/Java: April 2012 Sandesha2/Java: April 2012 Axis2 Transports/Java: December 2009 Axis/Java: April 2006 Axis2/C: Apr 2009 Rampart/C: May 2009 Sandesha/C: Oct 2007 Savan/C: May 2007 Axis/C++ 1.x: March 2006 Issues =========================== Due to the lack of developer participation Axis project cannot stand alone, one possible proposal would be to merge Axis with WS PMC (it was the case before), in the same time if Synapse community thinks they can also move to WC PMC, we should be able to get enough level of active participation. ----------------------------------------- Attachment I: Report from the Apache Bigtop Project [Andrew Purtell] Apache Bigtop is software for integration, packaging, deployment, and validation of Apache big data ecosystem components. ISSUES FOR THE BOARD’S ATTENTION There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. RELEASES The last release was version 0.8.0, released on Oct 5, 2014. ACTIVITY The project rebooted its CI infrastructure with Docker and several EC2 cloud instances. All costs of these instances are defrayed by a generous grant of these resources from Amazon. Development activity for the upcoming 1.0 release is almost complete. The release was blocked by the CI overhaul. The project has placed the Twitter @ASFbigtop account under joint management via TweetDeck. Several members of the PMC are able to tweet using the account.

The formal release process continues. ### Activity ### A small flurry of activity has brought the 1.1.0 release to pass. Because Apache BVal's semantic version numbers are intended to track the version of the Bean Validation specification targeted, this has resulted in the 1.1.0 release (implementing Bean Validation 1.1) actually having preceded a 1.0.0 release, which remains outstanding. ### Community ### No changes in community. Last PMC member added Q4 2013 Last committer added Q3 2013 ### Branding ### Nothing to report. ### Legal ### No concerns at present. ### Infrastructure ### Nothing needed at the moment. ----------------------------------------- Attachment L: Report from the Apache Camel Project [Christian Mueller] Apache Camel is a powerful open source integration framework based on known Enterprise Integration Patterns.

Guidi] Apache DirectMemory is an off-heap cache implementation for the JVM * General Information We had only one contact on the developer's list since april. A formal votation has been made about retiring to the attic and it held only 3 votes (all in favour of retirement). Some team members discussed proposals to improve documentation in order to improve our appeal to developers and a call for help has been submitted to the developers list but nothing much happened. I proposed to step back as PMC chair but no one volunteered to take over the role * Issues Development is stuck since long time and developer's appeal is lost. No one, including me, seems to have time to devote to the project. I honestly think it's time to retire the project or, at least, for me to retire as PMC chair * Committers or PMC members change Last added PMC PMC member was Noctarius (Cristoph Engelbert) on 2013-09-25 * Releases Release 0.2 has seen the light on 2013-09-17 ----------------------------------------- Attachment W: Report from the Apache Falcon Project [Srikanth Sundarrajan] Falcon is a data processing and management solution for Hadoop designed for data motion, coordination of data pipelines, lifecycle management, and data discovery.

ISSUES There are no issues that require board's attention at this time. STATUS There is a continuing and steady activity happening on the project. 0.6.1 release vote is in progress and should be released shortly, pending some licensing gaps in the previous release candidate.

RELEASES -Apache Flex SDK 4.14.1 was released on 3/30/15. -Apache Flex BlazeDS 4.7 was released on 3/6/15. -Apache Flex Tour De Flex Component Explorer 1.2 was released on 11/28/14. -Apache Flex Tool API 1.0.0 was released on 11/20/14 -Apache Flex Squiggly 1.1 was released on 10/26/14 -Apache Flex Installer 3.1.0 was also released on 7/14/14. -Apache FlexJS 0.0.2 was released on 7/17/14. -Apache Flex FalconJX 0.0.2 was released on 7/17/14. ACTIVITY The past couple of months saw a dramatic increase in activity related to FlexJS, a version of Flex that is independent from the Adobe Flash Platform. Two new committers have joined in and at least two long-time committers increased their participation significantly. Meanwhile, other committers are working on the Installer, various bug fixes to other Apache Flex releases and better Maven integration. Adobe also donated a set of Flex documentation. That is being updated for our web site. COMMUNITY -Josh Tynjala and Kevin Godell were added as committers. -Latest analytics include a little less than 2000 hits per day on the website during the work week (less on weekends). We are seeing a slight downward trend. -There were more than 6000 installs of Apache Flex 4.14.1 since its release about two months ago. -Almost 60,000 people have run the Tour De Flex application. Tour De Flex is a set of examples folks use to learn how to develop Flex applications. TRADEMARKS -We discovered that yet another apacheflex.com site has been created. The last time (September 2013) it was resolved easily, but I guess someone else grabbed and is now using it. We are currently drafting a “friendly” email that we will send to an email address on their web site. ----------------------------------------- Attachment Z: Report from the Apache Flink Project [Stephan Ewen] DESCRIPTION Flink is a distributed data analytics system for batch and streaming data analysis on top of a streaming dataflow engine. Flink's stack contains functional batch and streaming analysis APIs in Java and Scala and libraries for various use cases. Flink is a citizen of the Hadoop ecosystem and interacts with HDFS, YARN, MapReduce, HBase, and Tez. ISSUES There are no issues that require board attention. STATUS The Flink community is preparing the release of version 0.9, which marks the biggest additions to Flink since the project creation. The system is adding strong functionality for stream processing and libraries for various use cases. Flink has integrated with various other Apache projects (Tez, Zeppelin, Samoa). The community is growing, we see increasingly articles and meetups on Flink appearing. COMMUNITY * Last committer was voted in May 30th, 2015 (Andra Lungu) * Vote to add Chiwan Park as committer is happening as of writing this report. * Last PMC member was added December 17, 2014, when all committers and a subset of the mentors formed the project Flink PMC during graduation. * Project has currently 18 committers and 15 PMC members. * The project community is active (May: 274 messages in user mailing list, 491 messages in dev mailing list, 2758 messages in issues mailing list) * JIRA reports 194 new issues and 152 solved issues in the last 30 days COMMUNITY OBJECTIVES * Growing the user community further via talks and meetups and integration with other projects. The Flink PMC plans to organize a track at the Apache Big Data conference. * Integration with other Apache projects is continuously happening: - Apache Zeppelin (incubating) has added support for Flink - Apache Samoa (incubating) integration is a pending patch - Apache Tez integration is part of the next release. - Integration with ORC and HCatalogue are work in progress. RELEASES * Date of last release: April 13th, 2015 (version 0.9.0-milestone-1) * Release candidate creation for 0.9.0 is happening as of writing this report. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AA: Report from the Apache Giraph Project [Avery Ching] ----------------------------------------- Attachment AB: Report from the Apache Gump Project [Stefan Bodewig] Apache Gump is a cross-project continuous integration server. Gump's intention isn't so much to be a CI server but rather a vehicle that makes people look beyond their project's boundaries and helps the projects to collaborate. Gump is written in Python and supports several build tools and version control systems. The Apache installation of Gump builds ASF as well as non-ASF projects and their dependencies. It started in the Java part of the foundation but also builds projects like APR, HTTPd and XMLUnit.NET. == Summary == Gump has learned to use msbuild/xbuild and NuGet to build .NET projects. Gump seems to create useful results for the few projects that use it. == Releases == Gump has never done any releases. One reason for this is that the ASF installations of Gump work on the latest code base almost all of the time following its "integrate everything continuously" philosophy. == Activity == One of the projects (XMLUnit.NET) built by Gump recently switched to msbuild/xbuild as its build tool so we had to catch up. This also required us to support nuget's command line as a build step. Currently the support just provides what the project asks for - which is not the way Gump would be expected to work. Given the only project using it doesn't have any dependency on any other project built by Gump it is unlikely we'll make the implementation more "Gumpy". With the move of XMLUnit.NET there no longer is any project using Nant as a built tool left in the set of projects built by Gump. As more long running test projects have been added, we needed to change vmgump's configuration back to perform four runs a day rather than three. A single run of Gump currently takes about eight and a half hours. So the setting of "three" in fact meant that we would only manage two per day. === Mailing-List Statistics === general@gump.apache.org: Currently: 49 subscribers (no change in the last 3 months) (92 emails sent in the past 3 months, 138 in the previous cycle) commits@gump.apache.org: Currently: 20 subscribers (no change in the last 3 months) (94 emails sent in the past 3 months, 142 in the previous cycle) == Changes to the Roster == All ASF committers have write access to the metadata that configure the ASF installations. The last changes to the PMC have seen Konstantin Kolinko and Mark Thomas join in November 2014. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AC: Report from the Apache Helix Project [Kishore Gopalakrishna] Project Description =================== Apache Helix is a generic cluster management framework used for the automatic management of partitioned, replicated and distributed resources hosted on a cluster of nodes. Helix automates reassignment of resources in the face of node failure and recovery, cluster expansion, and reconfiguration Development =========== - Task framework improvements - Message throttling bug fix contributed by the community - 19 jira created, 9 resolved - 6 merged pull requests on github Community ========= - 70+ emails on the dev list - 40+ emails on the user list - Community effort in fixing message throttling bug - Last committer added on 2013-09-20, Last release 0.6.5 and 0.7.1 on 2015-03-25 - Seeing increased in adoption of Helix but not seeing conversion of users to committers. Need more meet ups. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AD: Report from the Apache Hive Project [Carl Steinbach] ----------------------------------------- Attachment AE: Report from the Apache HttpComponents Project [Asankha Perera] The Apache HttpComponents project is responsible for creating and maintaining a toolset of low-level Java components focused on HTTP and associated protocols The developers are currently working on improving compliance with RFC 7230 (and related RFCs) and laying a foundation for HTTP/2 support. Status - Overall the project remains active. Releases - HttpComponents Core 4.4.1 GA was released on the 20th of March 2015 - HttpComponents Client 4.4.1 GA was released on the 1st of April 2015 - HttpComponents HttpAsyncClient 4.1 GA was released on the 24th of April 2015 - HttpComponents Client 4.5 GA was released on the 5th of June 2015 Community - The community remains small but active, but has good user interaction on the mailing lists. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AF: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Ted Dunning] The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. With 4 new podlings and no graduations, the Incubator has grown to 43 podlings this month -- up from 31 one year ago, but still well shy of the record 57 set in 2012. We had some issues this month with Sentry's latest release and engagement. See the miscellaneous section for more details. There are several podlings that seem to be having trouble coming together. These include log4cxx2 and kalumet. We will keep an eye on these for now and initiate discussions about retiring the podlings as appropriate. Otherwise, there are no particular issues that warrant board attention. * Community New IPMC members: Jarek Jarcec Cecho Bill Rowe (rejoining) * New Podlings Atlas CMDA (Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer) MySOS Trafodion * Graduations None this month. * Releases The following releases were made since the last Incubator report: johnzon-0.8 kylin-0.7.1 ranger-0.5.0 TinkerPop 3.0.0.M9 * IP Clearance Sebastien Goasguen, Ian Duffy, and Darren Brogan donated gstack to Cloudstack. gstack is an API wrapper that maps the Google Cloud Platform compute engine (GCE) API to the CloudStack API. Sebastien Goasguen, Ian Duffy, and Darren Brogan donated ec2stack to Cloudstack. ec2stack is an API wrapper that maps the AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) API to the CloudStack API. Adobe donated the Sling HApi Tools, which provide a set of Hypermedia API tools for Sling. * Legal / Trademarks There was much debate about the name of the new MySOS podling on Incubator lists and elsewhere. The Incubator voted to accept the podling, since project name choice does not block entry into incubation. * Miscellaneous Several mentors for Sentry have expressed concerns about the podling's engagement with the incubating process. Mentors are in dissent with the podling's self-report, and are recommending that the podling be moved to monthly reporting until concerns are addressed. Since the self-report was not signed off by the mentors, we have not included it in this report and will include it in subsequent reports as the mentors synchronize with the community. A proposal to incubate the Freemarker template engine is under discussion. The question of whether or not podlings may have official blogs came up and was discussed with both Press and Infrastructure. Past rulings have been inconsistent. The situation was resolved by establishing that podling Mentors must review posts prior to publication. -------------------- Summary of podling reports -------------------- * Still getting started at the Incubator asterixdb atlas geode myriad trafodion * Not yet ready to graduate No release: corinthia groovy log4cxx2 taverna Community growth: * Ready to graduate The Board has motions for the following: * Did not report, expected next month batchee climate model diagnostic analyzer (CMDA) kalumet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents AsterixDB Atlas BatchEE Brooklyn Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer CommonsRDF Corinthia Geode Groovy HTrace Ignite Johnzon Kalumet log4cxx2 MRQL Myriad Ranger REEF SAMOA Sentry Singa Sirona Streams Taverna Trafodion Wave Zeppelin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- AsterixDB Apache AsterixDB is a scalable big data management system (BDMS) that provides storage, management, and query capabilities for large collections of semi- structured data. AsterixDB has been incubating since 2015-02-28. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Do an Apache release. 2. Migrate issues from Google Code 3. Grow community Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No, moving steadily. How has the community developed since the last report? Some activity on the users list. First interest by developers (but site makes it hard). How has the project developed since the last report? First version of the site is up. Development is ongoing. Date of last release: No Releases yet. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? No elected PMC and/or committers Signed-off-by: [X](asterixdb) Ate Douma [ ](asterixdb) Chris Mattmann [ ](asterixdb) Henry Saputra [X](asterixdb) Jochen Wiedmann [x](asterixdb) Ted Dunning Shepherd/Mentor notes: AsterixDB has provided monthly reports for March, April, and May. So, it should be in group 3 (quarterly reports), shouldn't it? -------------------- Atlas Apache Atlas is a scalable and extensible set of core foundational governance services that enables enterprises to effectively and efficiently meet their compliance requirements within Hadoop and allows integration with the complete enterprise data ecosystem Atlas has been incubating since 2015-05-05. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Push the code from a private repo into apache-git 2. Podling name search pending 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? * A few users have signed up for the dev ML How has the project developed since the last report? * Development activity has not started yet - we plan to start it in a week Date of last release: * None, plan to have one by mid june When were the last committers or PMC members elected? * None after incubation Signed-off-by: [ ](atlas) Arun Murthy [X](atlas) Chris Douglas [x](atlas) Jakob Homan [ ](atlas) Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli Shepherd/Mentor notes: -------------------- -------------------- Brooklyn Brooklyn is a framework for modelling, monitoring, and managing applications through autonomic blueprints. Brooklyn has been incubating since 2014-05-01. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Grow the community 2. More diversity of the committers/PPMC (currently biased towards employees of a single organization) 3. Following up our first release with further, regular, releases 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? Our community continues to grow slowly but surely, and every month receives interest and contributions from new community members. In particular, Brooklyn's recent integrations with Cloud Foundry have brought some interest from that community into ours. How has the project developed since the last report? Code continues to be proposed and merged at a high rate. We are satisfied with our technical velocity. We plan to follow up our December release with a further release as soon as we can, and following this up with regular releases. We plan to add binary convenience bundles to our next release and have been working on complying with the appropriate licensing documentation for this purpose. Date of last release: 2014-12-23 (apache-brooklyn-0.7.0-M2-incubating) When were the last committers or PMC members elected? No change since 2014-07-02.

The commons-rdf-api module defines interfaces and testing harness. The commons-rdf-simple module provides a basic reference implementation to exercise the test harness and clarify API contracts. CommonsRDF has been incubating since 2015-03-06. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Build community. 2. Further engage the podling with the nuances of the Apache Incubation process 3. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? See community section. How has the community developed since the last report? The community still needs to find a discussion mode based on consensus and compromise. Certain techncial issues in RDF lead to entrenched positions (this is not unique to the podling; there are such long discussions outside ASF). This has lead to a lack of energy and one person stepping back from the project in this reporting period. How has the project developed since the last report? The project made its first release on 2015-05-15. Date of last release: 2015-05-15 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? None added so far. Signed-off-by: [x](commonsrdf) Rob Vesse [x](commonsrdf) John D Ament [ ](commonsrdf) Gary Gregory Shepherd/Mentor notes: rvesse - The strong differences of opinion over some aspects of RDF are as reported by the podling causing some issues and they have yet to find a satisfactory way to build consensus and move forward on some of these. As noted this is not unusual in the wider world, even within the ASF we have 5 different TLPs that use RDF who between them use 3 different APIs each with very different world views so building that cross project consensus and moving forward on releases has the potential to be a blocker to progress and graduation. -------------------- Corinthia Corinthia is a toolkit/application for converting between and editing common office file formats, with an initial focus on word processing. It is designed to cater for multiple classes of platforms - desktop, web, and mobile - and relies heavily on web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for representing and manipulating documents. The toolkit is small, portable, and flexible, with minimal dependencies. The target audience is developers wishing to include office viewing, conversion, and editing functionality into their applications. Corinthia has been incubating since 2014-12-08. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Discuss and decide on a medium-term roadmap 2. Finalize source structure change (easy access for new developers) 3. Get the first release out 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? Discussion are now taking place between more people, signalling that the knowledge on the code base is being distributed. The period has in general been a bit quit, where people have developed more than discussing. How has the project developed since the last report? The ODF filter is well underway. The 64bit windows version is going through the last round of polishing. The Qt edtitor interface is starting to take shape. Date of last release: XXXX-XX-XX When were the last committers or PMC members elected? 2015-03-03 Gabrialle Gibson 2015-04-02 Franz de Copenhague Signed-off-by: [ ](corinthia) Daniel Gruno [x](corinthia) Jan Iversen [ ](corinthia) Dave Fischer Shepherd/Mentor notes: DrewFarris - Mentor active on mailing list, new committer added in April, with possibly another in the works for June. After cursory examination, no release discussions were observed on mailing lists. -------------------- Geode Geode is a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures. Geode has been incubating since 2015-04-27. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Expanding the community to include contributors and committers outside of Pivotal 2. Execute and manage the project according to governance model required by the "Apache Way" 3. Have our first Apache (incubating) release (currently blocked on us solving JGroups licensing issues) 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? The project had around 350 messages and around a 100 different people joined the discussions on the mailing lists, covering all sorts of topics, from development model to new features. ICLAs for initial committers are filled and processed. The wiki has been kept up to date based on mailing list discussions, with processes for: - Code Review and submissions - Branching and versioning - Code of Conduct - Social Media guidelines and accounts - Twitter account (https://twitter.com/apachegeode) - Slideshare account (http://www.slideshare.net/ApacheGeode) - Gravatar/Wordpress (https://en.gravatar.com/apachegeode) There are 46 open issues on JIRA, 5 resolved. Several external pull requests. Review process is in place and has been done using ASF ReviewBoard.

Rowe Jr. [ ](geode) Henry Saputra [X](geode) Roman Shaposhnik Shepherd/Mentor notes: -------------------- Groovy Apache Groovy is a multi-faceted programming language for the Java platform. Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static- typing and static compilation capabilities, aimed at multiplying developers’ productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax. It integrates smoothly with any Java program, and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain- Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming and functional programming. Groovy has been incubating since 2015-03-24 Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. We still have to get our new release process ready for making our first release under the incubator banner, but progress has been made towards that goal already. 2. We need to continue encouraging our users to use our new resources at Apache instead of using the old ones at Codehaus, but most remaining resources or assets from Codehaus have been moved or closed. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No particular issue right now. How has the community developed since the last report? The community seems to have followed the move to our new home, as for example we're not seeing emails on the old lists anymore. How has the project developed since the last report? Ongoing incremental improvements and bug fixes. Date of last release: No release yet, but progress being made to make our build process to comply with Apache rules. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? One new committer has joined the team: Andrés Almiray. And we are inviting two other committers to join us, so hopefully next month, we should further expand our community. Signed-off-by: [ ](groovy) Andrew Bayer [ ](groovy) Konstantin Boudnik [ ](groovy) Bertrand Delacretaz [ ](groovy) Jim Jagielski [X](groovy) Emmanuel Lecharny [X](groovy) Roman Shaposhnik Shepherd/Mentor notes: The project is in good shape! The new committers addition is a good sign. Two remarks though : - The web site is still not linked to Apache, there is a bit of work to do in this area. - There is not a lot of discussion on the dev list. If some of those discussions are conducted on a side channel, it's important to move such discussions to the dev list. Otherwise, I think that the current committers are quite busy with their new day job, that would explain this. Thanks, keep going the good job! -------------------- HTrace HTrace is a tracing framework intended for use with distributed systems written in java. HTrace has been incubating since 2014-11. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Continue to grow the HTrace community 2. Continue to develop and release stable HTrace incubating artifacts 3. Continue to explore the integration of the HTrace framework into other Apache products 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? A few new folks have showed up on the dev and user lists of late. Lively dev discussion on lists about: * The 3.2.0 release. * HTrace and CI * HTrace and JDK7 minimum * A meeting and discussion of GUI going forward * How to accommodate github pull requests Apache HTrace (Incubating) was presented at HBaseCon, May 7th in San Francisco by Colin McCabe and Abraham Elmahrek 32 subscribers on dev@ and 120 messages since last report. How has the project developed since the last report? About 36 JIRAs resolved since our last report. Date of last release: htrace-3.2.0 Jun 2, 2015 The release was release managed by Abraham Elmahrek When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Abraham Elmahrek was elected to become an HTrace committer on Wed, 11 Feb, 2-15.

Considering how new they are, I think they're in good shape and may want to begin thinking about graduation. -------------------- Ignite A unified In-Memory Data Fabric providing high-performance, distributed in- memory data management software layer between various data sources and user applications. Ignite has been incubating since 2014-10-01. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Finish migration to Apache process (DONE) 2. Grow active and healthy community around Apache Ignite product (Community is healthy and growing). 3. Get on a stable release schedule and have 3 successful product releases (DONE). Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None at the moment. How has the community developed since the last report? - Ignite currently has 19 active contributors. - In the process of adding 6 more committers (currently in votes). - Latest list of committers and contributors can be found here: https://ignite.incubator.apache.org/community.html#list How has the project developed since the last report? - Released Apache Ignite 1.0-RC3 - Released Apache Ignite 1.0 - Released Apache Ignite 1.1 - Passed JCache (JSR107) TCK suite - Started user mailing list at user@ignite.incubator.apache.org - Created Wiki for the developer community: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/ - Fully automated the build and release process via maven Date of last release: 2015-05-28 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? 01/20/2015 Added 3 additional committers 06/04/2015 PPMC approved 6 additional committers (invitations are being sent) Signed-off-by: [X](ignite) Branko Čibej [ ](ignite) Konstantin Boudnik [X](ignite) Roman Shaposhnik [ ](ignite) Michael Stack Shepherd/Mentor notes: Branko Čibej (brane): The Ignite community has progressed very nicely in recent months. The dev@ list has become the main communication channel, new contributors are arriving and many have been invited to the PPMC. Apart from a few minor teething problems, the latest release has gone smoothly. I'm hoping that we'll be able to report successful graduation by the time the next board report is due. -------------------- Johnzon Implementation of JSR-353 JavaTM API for JSON Processing. Johnzon has been incubating since 2014-06-09. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Expanding the community, increase dev list activity and adding new committers/pmc members 2. Complete the project incubation status page 3. Add and improve documentation Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? * Nothing How has the community developed since the last report? There are new people on the dev list and the project got contributions from non-committers. On the dev list there are approx. 32 msgs (on average) messages per month. How has the project developed since the last report? The project did its 5th incubator release. During the last three month 8 jira issues were reported and fixed. Date of last release: 2015-04-06 (0.7-incubating) When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Last committer was elected 2014-08-23, last PMC member was elected 2015-04-09 (Hendrik Saly) Signed-off-by: [X](johnzon) Justin Mclean [ ](johnzon) Daniel Kulp Shepherd/Mentor notes: -------------------- 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 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? 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? Not much: There currently doesn't seem to be any public development, though support is given and bugs are tracked. Date of last release: 2008-04-03 was the last official, pre-incubation 0.10.0 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Signed-off-by: [X](log4cxx2) Christian Grobmeier [ ](log4cxx2) Scott Deboy Shepherd/Mentor notes: P. Taylor Goetz (ptgoetz): It appears the attempt to reboot the lo4cxx2 project by re-incubating is failing, and the podling is not making any progress in terms of releases and community development. The primary stated goal of the last few reports has been to produce a release, but the dev@ mailing list is largely devoid of any release discussions (the last mention of a release was 12 Dec 2014 [1]). The current report is a word-for-word copy of the last report, and there has been only one email from a mentor in the last 5 months (to discuss the incubator report). I noticed that the podling does not appear to have (that I could find) a private mailing list (possibly an oversight from when it returned to the incubator?), which I think it would need for discussing new committers/PPMC members, retiring, etc. I'm assuming they are relying on private@logging for private discussions, which may not be appropriate for a podling.

MRQL has been incubating since 2013-03-13. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Increase the number of active committers 2. Increase adoption, expand user community, and increase user list activity 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? There were no new developers or new committers since our last report. We have presented our project at ApacheCon NA in April. The talk was well-attended and some developers from other Apache projects expressed some interest in collaboration, which resulted in discussions at the dev@mrql list and new JIRA issues. How has the project developed since the last report? We have created a GitHub mirror and synchronized it with the existing Apache git repository and with JIRA. The GitHub mirror allows to merge git branches easier and provides a better integration with JIRA. We have added more features to MRQL Streaming (such as, new input stream formats) and have fixed various bugs. Date of last release: 2015-02-25 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? 2014-04-17 Signed-off-by: [X](mrql) Alan Cabrera [ ](mrql) Alex Karasulu [ ](mrql) Mohammad Nour El-Din Shepherd/Mentor notes: There are members of MRQL who are enthusiastic about keeping the project around and have taken steps to attract new committers to the project. -------------------- Myriad Myriad enables co-existence of Apache Hadoop YARN and Apache Mesos together on the same cluster and allows dynamic resource allocations across both Hadoop and other applications running on the same physical data center infrastructure. Myriad has been incubating since 2015-03-01. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Fill out ip-clearance form and donate the Myriad code to ASF. 2. Grant committers karma, migrate the code and issues from github. 3. Figure out how and when to release a new "version" of Myriad. 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? About 75 emails on dev@ from 15 individuals since last month. Continuing community-wide meetings/hangouts. All initial committers and their organizations have now submitted ICLAs/CCLAs. Zhongyue gave a presentation at first China Mesos User Group. Upcoming presentations at first Hamburg Mesos User Group and at MesosCon in August. How has the project developed since the last report? Significant recent commits/PRs include: 1. Committed: Dockerizing the Scheduler/ResourceManager (PR#95) 2. Committed: Web UI Dashboard (PR#82) 3. In review: Multi-project build (PR#77) 4. In review: Fine-grained scaling (PR#91) 5. In progress: High availability for the Scheduler/RM (PR#94) 6. In progress: Integration into Mesosphere DCOS Date of last release: No releases yet. Still at 0.0.1 in the source. Will plan a release after we migrate to Apache git. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Need to grant Apache git karma to initial committers. Then we will vote in new committers from the existing developer community.

None Yet Signed-off-by: [X](reef) Chris Douglas [ ](reef) Chris Mattmann [ ](reef) Ross Gardler [ ](reef) Owen O'Malley Shepherd/Mentor notes: -------------------- SAMOA SAMOA provides a collection of distributed streaming algorithms for the most common data mining and machine learning tasks such as classification, clustering, and regression, as well as programming abstractions to develop new algorithms that run on top of distributed stream processing engines (DSPEs). It features a pluggable architecture that allows it to run on several DSPEs such as Apache Storm, Apache S4, and Apache Samza. SAMOA has been incubating since 2014-12-15. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Roll an Apache release 2. Elect new PMC members 3. Grow the community Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Two of our current PMC members (Olivier and Matthieu) have new jobs and have declared that they will not be able to actively contribute to the project for the moment being. This leaves 4 active PMC members. How has the community developed since the last report? Mailing list activity (March-April-May 2015): * @dev 375 messages Jira issues backlog (March-April-May 2015): * Created: 14 * Resolved: 19 We have had contributions from outside the PMC. In particular, we have been collaborating with the Apache Flink community. Our main goal is still to grow the community, which is still pretty small. To achieve this goal, we are doing a large amount of dissemination work in conferences and events to promote SAMOA. How has the project developed since the last report? We are fully operational on the new infrastructure: * Completed migration of issues from old GitHub repository. * Completed migration of documentation from old wiki. * Created new Confluence wiki with roadmap and contribution instruction: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SAMOA/Samoa+Home Main developments: * New adaptor for Flink integrated. * Simplified the website and solved several bugs. * Preparing for our first release in June. We should increase the rate of technical contribution to the project and move to less incremental ones. Codebase still need cleanup to ease adoption by new contributors. Date of last release: None, plan to have one in June. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? None.

Unit testing is a technique for improving project quality and reducing overall costs by writing a small amount of code that can automatically verify the software you write performs as intended.

OAuth is a mechanism that allows users to authenticate and authorise access by another party to resources they control while avoiding the need to share their username and password credentials. MILESTONES Apache Oltu 1.0 was released on March 3rd 2014. CURRENT ACTIVITY The core part of the project related to 'The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework' (RFC 6749) is pretty stable due the fact RFC 6749 is now a standard. A stable version 1.0 was released on March 3rd 2014. We plan to make a new minor release soonish ( OLTU-171 - Release a new version of Oltu ( Open) ). We have extended the coverage for the IETF JOSE specifications (that is strictly correlated to OAuth 2) as JWS (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-signature-36). The current intention is to extend the coverage to the JWE part. Users activity is growing slowly but steadily (the user@ mailing list has got new messages from new users). We got some feedback from some users about our not too clear documentation. Hence we are planning to improve this area.

Chiasson] -- mod_perl 1.0 -- The mod_perl 1.x is a maintenance track designed to work with httpd 1.3.x. No new mod_perl 1.x releases since 2014-12. --- mod_perl 2.0 -- mod_perl 2.X is designed to work with all httpd 2.X branches. Steve Hay has taken the role of release manager for mod_perl-2.0.9 and produced 3 RCs so far. The current RC3 was made on June 10th and is looking pretty good, with only some known Windows issues. I expect to see mod_perl-2.0.9 to be released shortly. Steve Hay deserves special credit for his great work driving this forward. --- Apache-Test -- Apache-Test provides a framework which allows module writers to write test suites that can query a running mod_perl enabled server. It is used by mod_perl, httpd and several third party applications, and includes support for Apache modules written in C, mod_perl, PHP and Parrot. As planned, prior to the release of mod_perl-2.0.9, a new release of Apache-Test was made. Apache-Test 1.39 was released on Apr 21, 2015 --- Apache-SizeLimit -- Apache-SizeLimit is a popular component in most mod_perl production environments. It is used to kill off large httpd child processes based on various environmental triggers. Apache-SizeLimit 0.97 was released on Apr 02, 2012 No new Apache-SizeLimit releases since 2014-12. --- Apache-Bootstrap -- Apache-Bootstrap is a framework to make it easier to build perl module distributions for different mod_perl versions. It encapsulates code developed over the years by mod_perl developers to make maintaining Apache::* and Apache2::* modules in the same distribution easy. Apache-Bootstrap 0.07 was released on Jul 13, 2009 No new Apache-Bootstrap releases since 2014-12. --- Apache-Reload -- Apache-Reload is a popular component in most mod_perl development environments, used to refresh compiled code in the perl interpreter without completely restarting httpd. Apache-Reload 0.13 was released on May 09, 2015 -- Apache-DBI -- Apache-DBI is a popular component in many mod_perl deployments. It is used to provide transparent database connection pooling to clients using DBI. Apache-DBI 1.12 was released on June 12nd, 2013 No new Apache-DBI releases since 2014-12. -- Development -- mod_perl continues to be a healthy development community, though as a mature and stable product development moves at a naturally slower pace than in years past. Bugs are found and discussed and fixes are applied with due consideration for our production userbase. Work on the httpd-2.4 branch has come to a standstill, as all work on that branch completed and was merged into the trunk. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is seeing little activity, except for the ocasional obscure bug report, or general user questions. Patches and bug reports are few, but keep on coming. -- PMC -- No noteworthy PMC events happened since the last report. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AX: Report from the Apache Pig Project [Rohini Palaniswamy] ## Description: Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets on Hadoop.

It combines the enhanced productivity and usability features of a modern user interface toolkit with the robustness of the Java platform. ## Activity: - Activity remains low this quarter. Very little User list activity, but definitely some bugs fixed and new development going on, mostly from one developer (myself). - I have reached out (just lately) to the ComDev members for help with building the Pivot community. ## Issues: - The move by Google to eliminate Java applet support in the Chrome browser further diminishes the utility of IIAs in general, so this is definitely a concern for the project. - Still have not heard from ComDev about what Apache Extras is going to do. We need a decision before our next Board report is due. - We have just heard of an issue in Europe (specifically Italy) where websites that use cookies are required to document this, provide a privacy policy, etc. Have requested official ASF policy about this because it seems that many ASF project sites are involved. The Pivot site specifically uses Google Analytics. ## PMC/Committership changes: - Currently 9 committers and 6 PMC members in the project. - No new changes to the PMC or committership since last report. - Last Committer Piotr Kolaczkowski (pkolaczk) was created 09 May 2012. - Latest PMC Changes: Roger Whitcomb (rwhitcomb) was added to PMC on 27 Oct 2011, Martijn Dashorst (dashorst) went Emeritus in July 2012, Greg Brown (gbrown) went Emeritus on 10 Sept 2013. ## Releases: - Last release was 2.0.4 on Mon May 19 2014 ## Mailing list activity: - dev@pivot.apache.org: - 57 subscribers (down -2 in the last 3 months): - 59 emails sent to list (46 in previous quarter) - user@pivot.apache.org: - 174 subscribers (down -1 in the last 3 months): - 5 emails sent to list (8 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 5 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 3 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months ----------------------------------------- Attachment AZ: Report from the Apache POI Project [Yegor Kozlov] ----------------------------------------- Attachment BA: Report from the Apache Portals Project [David Sean Taylor] Apache Portals exists to promote the use of open source portal technology.

McGrail] ## Description: SpamAssassin is a mail filter to identify spam. It is an intelligent email filter which uses a diverse range of tests to identify unsolicited bulk email, more commonly known as Spam. These tests are applied to email headers and content to classify email using advanced statistical methods. In addition, SpamAssassin has a modular architecture that allows other technologies to be quickly wielded against spam and is designed for easy integration into virtually any email system. ## Issues: - Any guidance on how to get sensitive passphrases/credentials to more members of the project who live in far flung parts of the world short of the lengthy circle of trust process? Is there some sort of verification service we can leverage? Registered mail service that requires identification and makes it a crime to tamper? ## Board Q&A: - The board requested input about the lack of promotion to the SA PMC. The following response was submitted on 4/22/15 by the chair: "The lack of promotion to PMC is likely not a valid concern at this time. As a project, we are consistently trying to get more committers and hence more people on the track for the PMC. I won't sugarcoat things though because people aren't beating down our door to become committers though and there is considerable brain drain caused by private enterprises hiring away talent. However, with that said, our advancement policy at https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ProjectRoles is being followed and committers have been invited to the PMC but declined to accept. And we have invited several people to initiate CLAs and we are mentoring for the GSOC with one project with the hopes that they will become regular contributors. I have also been reviewing open bugs and submitted patches to try and get the hurdle of CLAs solved so we can accept more contributions from a more diverse crowd of programmers. Perhaps it would be good to add to the reporter tool the number of CLAs processed by the secretary on behalf of projects? In conclusion, we are aware of the issue and this email serves to remind the PMC to diligently promote new contributors, contributors becoming committers and committers becoming PMC. We know our community is very important to the long-term viability of the project. Any PMC members, please feel free to add or object to my statements." ## PMC/Committership changes: - Currently 26 committers and 7 PMC members in the project. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Joe Quinn at Sun Mar 02 2014 ## Releases: - 3.4.1 was released on April 30th, 2015 *NOTE: I accidentally put this in the database as 2014 unsure how to fix it...) - Thanks to Sally Khudairi for her assistance in the PR for the release! - Work has begun on 3.4.2 and 4.0.0 releases. ## Project Branding Requirements - Logos and Graphics : include TM, use consistent product logo on your site.

There are no issues which require board attention at the moment. The project is doing well but on a slow level. Main issue at the moment may be that there is no one who is cutting releases from time to time. The last release was cut one year ago. The project is aware of this issue and is working on it. For the first time in the project's lifetime the number of subscribers on the dev list has dropped by about 10 subscribers. Subscribers on the dev list: 226 Cristian Petroaca was voted for as a new committer on May 7th, 2015.

Dates: 08 Jun 2015 (new) last release 12 Mar 2013 (no change) last PMC addition 24 Dec 2013 (no change) last Committer addition Releases: UIMA Ruta 2.3.0 released, with better integration with Maven, extensions and simplification of the rules language, improvements to analysis engines including the HtmlConverter, and many bug fixes. http://uima.apache.org/news.html#08 June 2015 Other Activity: A major potential contribution was posted to our Jira, which reimplements much of the "innards" of UIMA core using more standard Java constructions, in an attempt to support better concurrancy on processors with large numbers (e.g. 64) of cores. This work is a proof-of-concept, and is being evaluated. The community has asked the donor to submit a software grant so we can take this through IP clearance and put it into our SVN for further study and evaluation. This has prompted some new wiki pages documenting various ideas, tradeoffs, and diagrams explaining some of the more subtle points about UIMA innards. These are on our confluence wiki. As a side note, a big thank you to infra for the upgrades to the wiki, in support of nice diagramming tooling! 3 people including 2 PMC members gave UIMA-related talks at Apachecon 2015 in Austin. We heard from one person that they attended ApacheCon just to be able to meet with the UIMA team. One person subsequently has started contributing to the project. Based on an ApacheCon talk which suggested talking with your community where they like to talk, more people have started responding to UIMA questions on StackOverflow, a popular website for these kinds of questions. We have agreed to participate in the documentary video about the ASF; a video call is planned for later this month. Besides UIMA Ruta (which had a release), UIMA DUCC is progressing toward a next release, and core UIMA development continues to be quite active. Community: The community continues to be moderately active. A new person has started committing improvements to one of the core UIMA tools. Issues: No Board level issues at this time. ----------------------------------------- Attachment BN: Report from the Apache VCL Project [Andy Kurth] DESCRIPTION VCL is a modular cloud computing platform which dynamically provisions and brokers remote access to compute resources including virtual machines, bare-metal computers, and resources in other cloud platforms.

We are long overdue for a release but need volunteers to help with that. Mailing list traffic has been low; roughly 40 posts on the j-dev and j-users lists since the beginning of March 2015. No new releases this quarter. The latest release is Xerces-J 2.11.0 (November 30th, 2010).

The last two additions to the PMC were in May 2010. Three committers committed changes to SVN in the last quarter. Apache Project Branding Requirements The project logo still needs a "TM" to be added to it. ----------------------------------------- Attachment BT: Report from the Apache Zest Project [Niclas Hedhman] Inception: 18 March 2015 Last PMC addition: 31 May 2015 Last Committer additions: 26 May 2015 Description Apache Zest contains platforms and tools to explore the Composite Oriented Programming paradigm. Activity The second/third month of Zest has been dominated by bringing in the external codebase, start ensuring that NOTICE files are constructed correctly, migrating the website, and general clean up. Development on new features has begun. [Edit] The geospatial query capability that is being added, sparked Chris M to invite collaboration with Apache SIS. Still early, but could be fruitful. Community 3 committers have been added in this month, and one new member (Jiri Jetmar) has been added to the PMC. Mailing list activity Dev mailing list discussions are slow, but healthy. Board Raised Query In previous Board meeting, a discussion around the IP cleanliness was raised, and Sam requested that we should share our experience on this matter. First of all, we would like to know "how to share", and secondly, before the project came to ASF, we tried to stick to an Apache-compatible approach as much as possible. Therefor, we were not overly worried about importing the codebase, but we are slowing ensuring that all of the ~100 individual components have its attribution correctly marked. We are also trying to automate this process. Finally, we are still uncertain about a Neo4j extension, which may be dropped due to a unclear GPL dependency, and Neo Technology doesn't seem to want to clarify. Next Steps * Ensure IP is totally free of encumbrance. * Plan release 2.1, hopeful for July * New Apache branded documentation. (New Zest logo proposed) ----------------------------------------- Attachment BU: Report from the Apache ZooKeeper Project [Michi Mutsuzaki] ## Description: A distributed computing platform. ## Activity: - Working on making 2 releases, 3.5.1 (alpha) and 3.4.7 (stable). - ZOOKEEPER-2163: Added a new 'container' type znode that gets deleted automatically when all the child znodes get deleted. - ZOOKEEPER-2183: Addd an option to run tests in parallel using multiple threads.
