# Incubator PMC report for September 2022

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. 

There are presently 34 podlings incubating. Podlings made 5 distinct releases. 

This month we were missing reports from  Livy, SDAP, Spot, Teaclave, and Toree. All will be asked to report next month. 
Marvin-AI and PonyMaill don't have mentors' signoff and will also be asked to report next month. PonyMail has only one mentor and had three missed signoffs.  

StreamPark has joined the Incubator, although have some X category dependencies issues, it's nice that the team has preliminary plans to address them.
Hivemall has passd retired VOTE. Some other podlings, like Livy, will retire next few months.  

The SkyWalking community released a tool called skywalking-eyes. It's a full-featured license tool to check and fix license headers and resolve dependencies' licenses. 
Besides, it offers various language support. but be careful, 
automated tools could help the project a lot and be a time saver for this work. but they can't fit all problems.

MxNet is about to graduate and it has tackled some branding issues on the eve of graduation.

## Annotator

Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and
humans.

Annotator has been incubating since 2016-08-30.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Incubation issues found by Whimsy. Some look correct (i.e. are pending action from us). Others are things we did when we joined the Incubator.
     - No Software Grant and No IP Clearance Filed - this was done at the onset of incubation iirc.
     - No Release Yet/Missing ASF Copyright Headers on Source Code - we have made releases, but apparently missed getting headers on everything.
     - No Release Yet/Binary has licensing issues - this is likely caused by the above.
     - No Podling Name Search on file - we're looking into how to initiate that process.
  2. We need more (active) mentors...still.
  3. Our release process is still cumbersome/lengthy, so we release rarely.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

We would like to initial the podling name search if possible. Additional mentors would also be helpful.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

We've added Richard Eckart de Castilho (rec) to the PPMC to help with voting and hopefully liaison with UIMA in which is also a member.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

We are working to release an 0.3.0 release. The code has been ready for sometime, but we face cross-platform build issues and other annoyances which have held it back.

We have also learned that Apache Annotator (despite it's pre-1.0 release status) is already in use in a production ereader web app for epubs.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

### Date of last release:

  2022-05-05

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

  2022-08-17

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Voting involvement is still too low for us to easily turn around a release or the addition of a committer without personally hunting folks down. Similarly, getting mentor involvement looks similar--direct requests for input made via additional emails or IRC pings.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

There are no known branding uses of any kind--good or bad.
