NuttX

NuttX is a mature, real-time embedded operating system (RTOS).

NuttX has been incubating since 2019-12-09.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Clear any potential infringing use of the NuttX trademark
  2. Achieve a non-WIP Disclaimer release under Apache
  3. Continue to grow the community with people from different background

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

The project has begun to discuss graduation to TLP and hopes to start
this process in the near future. We would appreciate any helpful
feedback that will assist us in taking this important step forward.

How has the community developed since the last report?

  • Virtually all communications have moved from old venues to
    dev@nuttx.apache.org. The dev list contains 245 subscribers, an
    increase of 7% since our previous report, and is the home of most
    development discussions and user questions.
  • GitHub's PRs and Issues also have their own discussions.
  • We are seeing new contributors to the project through GitHub.
  • No non-PPMC committers have been added since the last report.
  • One new PPMC member has been added since the last report: Sara
    Monteiro joined the PPMC in May.  
  • No non-PPMC committers have been added since the last report.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  • NuttX developers and contributors organized the annual NuttX
    Workshop 2021. Due to continuing concerns around COVID, this
    year's workshop was held online. The event took place on 21-22
    August 2021 and can be seen online at
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxhrnO4qz0w. More information
    about this and other NuttX events can be found at
    https://nuttx.events.
  • We continue to make significant steps toward license clearing,
    needed for graduation. This month, we have received four new SGAs
    and five new ICLAs. Efforts continue to clear files and change
    their license to the Apache 2.0 License through the large effort
    of our volunteers. Since joining the Incubator, tens of thousands
    of files have been changed to the Apache 2.0 License with the
    permission of more than 70 individuals and 20 organizations who
    signed ICLAs, CCLAs, and SGAs to assist us in getting closer to
    graduation. We are grateful to everyone for their invaluable
    support through this important process.
  • NuttX developers and contributors organized an event called NuttX
    Monthly Meetup, the first event of its kind, which took place at
    https://meet.jit.si/NuttXMeetup, to discuss topics such as
    continuing efforts toward license clearing and the next NuttX
    release. Following the event, a lengthy discussion took place at
    the NuttX mailing list where concerns were expressed about the
    meeting's content and synchronous venue. Currently it is unclear
    whether similar events will be organized in the future. If they
    will, it seems likely that the focus will be to promote NuttX and
    answer users questions.
  • The community has begun discussing the next release, NuttX-10.2,
    and a developer has volunteered to serve as Release Manager for
    this release.
  • Many technical improvements, bug fixes, and new architectures
    have been collaborated and work continues with several pull
    requests merged per day.
  • We have listened to the valuable feedback received during our
    previous releases and continue to improve our documentation. This
    can be found at https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/.
