Crail

Crail is a storage platform for sharing performance critical data in distributed data processing jobs at very high speed.

Crail has been incubating since 2017-11-01.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

1. Grow developers community
2. Grow Crail use base
3. More steady release cycle

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

no.

How has the community developed since the last report?

We see increasing traffic on the dev mailing list from Crail users. A recent proposal from Adrian to add elastic scaling got positive feedback from other committers.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Crail went through a phase of limited visible activities on the code base. It is critical the Crail developers community resumes to be more active to keep the project making decent progress. Using Crail as an ephemeral data store for serverless computing emerges as a very suitable use case. Pushing this forward, aiming at inclusion in a next release is of common interest among the committers.

IoTDB is a data store for managing large amounts of time series data such as timestamped data from IoT sensors in industrial applications.

IoTDB has been incubating since 2018-11-18.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

• More active PPMC/Committers to join votes in the mailing list;
• Get more user feedbacks;
• More technical communications are welcomed to attract more committers joining the project deeply.

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

No.

How has the community developed since the last report?

1. Suggested by Mentor Christofer, we moved the JIRA notifications to a new mailing list notifications@. After that, there are 609 emails sent by 80 people, divided into 254 topics in these 3 months.

2. 4 new committers are elected (Dawei Liu, Wangminhao Gou, Yuyuan Kang, and XinWang), who come from 3 different companies/organizations.

3. A new PPMC is elected (Jincheng Sun).

4. Many new contributors joining us. For example, Giorgio Zoppi is working for TsFIle/IoTDB C++, Robinet integrated IoTDB with Apache Karaf, Xin Wang and Jincheng integrated IoTDB with Flink etc..

5. The website is refactored.

• Now Google Search Engine can index it.
• The website provides a detailed User Guide and some System Designs both in English and Chinese.
• Meetup and other talk materials (slides and videos) are shared on the website.
• More documents to let users joining us （like Code of Conduct, How to be a committer, how to release, how to vote new committers, etc..) are provided on the website or the wiki.

1. Dave Fisher shepherded us and pointed out some issues, and all of them are fixed.

How has the project developed since the last report?

• Two versions (v0.9.2 and v0.9.3) are released. They are done by two new Release Managers from the community.

• The project keeps active, there are 553 commits submitted by 43 authors in these 3 months. (using the gitstats tool to get the result: gitstats -c start_date=2020-03-01 REPO_NAME OUTPUT)

• IoTDB is integrated with Apache Karaf and Apache Flink.

• IoTDB supports MQTT protocol.

• IoTDB's cluster module is almost done. A PR is submitted.

StreamPipes

StreamPipes is a self-service (Industrial) IoT toolbox to enable non- technical users to connect, analyze and explore (Industrial) IoT data streams.

StreamPipes has been incubating since 2019-11-11.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

1. Multiple Apache releases
2. Grow the developer community
3. Attract more users

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

There are no issues right now.

How has the community developed since the last report?

In the past three months, the community developed rather well: New users appeared on the mailing lists, and we were able to elect the first external committers. The mailing list activity has increased and many discussions on development-related tasks were done on the developer mailing list. Overall, we feel that the community is more and more following the Apache way.

Some specific community development activities include:

• We updated the wiki with developer information, getting started guides and step-by-step manuals for release management (see https://s.apache.org/ocz7t)
• Updated website to include better overview of existing pipeline elements
• Intensified work with manufacturing company to use StreamPipes for IIoT analytics
• We published a blog post on how to run StreamPipes on Kubernetes, we now plan to publish blog posts at regular intervals
• Added "communication channels & strategy" page in the wiki and gathered potential communication channels in close exchange with our mentors planning to intensify community growth
• Took part in webinar series about open source for small and medium sized companies (video on YouTube, currently only in German)
• Number of Twitter followers increased (last report: 103, currently: 128)
• Number of Github stars increased (last report: 109, currently: 144)

How has the project developed since the last report?

• We successfully released our first official Apache release (version 0.66.0) including several improvements (see release notes https://s.apache.org/2grsk), to name the most prominent changes: completely new dashboard and notification design in UI, more pipeline elements and improved connectors
• Many new pipeline elements have been added by newly elected committers
• Both documentation and website were improved in order to increase the adoption of Apache StreamPipes and grow the user base

In the next month, we plan to add better support for edge computing and improve the UI.

When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

Four new committers were elected and joined the team since the last report aiding in contributing/maturing the project.

• Daniel Ebi (2020-05-12)
• Felix John (2020-05-12)
• Grainier Perera (2020-05-22)

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Our mentors provided very good support in preparing and performing our first Apache release. We would like to thank them for very helpful advice, also for some licensing questions we had on the list.

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

Yes, we started to prepare a wiki page to develop a communication strategy, which also includes brand management. The next step is to create a new logo that will be voted on by the community. We are constantly monitoring the usage of the Apache StreamPipes name in external websites and posts.

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Open issues:

• Asked Jim Jagielski for help with a Tai's problematic JIRA account. (He has access to someone's preexisting account. Issue remains open)
• There was an open question about if/how steps for onboarding committers might be streamlined and/or automated. Any advice on that front is welcomed, as the process is seemingly error prone. Sorry for any confusing missteps as we continue to learn to navigate this.
• Asked about Bogdan Kyryliuk's process, no answer
• Generally experencing glitches when onboarding committers & PMCs

Other interactions of note:

• We have a new mentor! Welcome to the team, Jim Jagielski!
• Mentor Justin Mclean helped us with font licensing.
• Mentor Justin Mclean provided clarity on report formatting. (Hope this one works!)
• Jakob is stepping down. Thanks for everything!

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

All is well. Name has been approved.

Are things falling through the cracks? If so, please list any open issues that need to be addressed.

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

Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name?
