-------------------- Aurora Justin Mclean (jmclean):
Project is off to a good start with lots of activity on the mailing list and in JIRA. Mentors are not very active but there are no issues that need attention. -------------------- BatchEE John Ament (johndament): BatchEE is a new podling, with a small team working on it currently. It's a fork of the RI for Java Batch from Java EE 7. I think short term they should focus on getting a release out there to draw in community interest; which should help build the podling more and drive feature interest. -------------------- Celix Dave Fisher (wave): This podling is growing. They plan a release soon and let's see how that goes. When it comes time for graduation I have some concerns that this podling's community may be too small. -------------------- log4cxx2 Christian Grobmeier (grobmeier): the podling is just getting started -------------------- MetaModel Roman Shaposhnik (rvs): In general project seem to be on the right track with a healthy amount of community interaction happening over the mailing list and a strong desire to do a release. Two issues have caught my attention though: 1. I am not quite sure what motivated a strong drive towards having by-laws this early in the game. In my experience the focus on by-laws can, at times, put a damping factor on community growth. IOW, what I've seen in the past is that communities try to come up with by-laws when the usual process of consensus building starts to fail. Nothing actionable here for the project -- just keep this in mind. 2. The JIRA feels a bit empty for the project that has been developing for more than 6 month (grand total of 33 issues). At the same time the number of commits in the Git repo is on par with the development pace. What it tells me is that there's no strong correlation between JIRAs and commits. This raises a red flag of whether all of the changes that are committed get a proper community vetting before they go in. I couldn't find any traces of the review requests either: https://reviews.apache.org/groups/metamodel/ This in my opinion is a pretty big concern for the project. -------------------- ODF Toolkit John Ament (johndament): ODF Toolkit has been incubating for a long time. Activity on their list is in frequent, but active enough that it still is running. Considering what the project is, I think the best resolution for this podling is to graduate as a sub project under something like OpenOffice or POI. -------------------- Olingo (No shepherd review filed.) -------------------- Ripple Roman Shaposhnik (rvs): The project appears to be doing well -------------------- Samza (No shepherd review filed.) -------------------- Sirona (No shepherd review filed.) -------------------- Spark Alan Cabrera (acabrera): Seems like a nice active project. IMO, there's no need to wait import to JIRA to graduate. Seems like they can graduate now. -------------------- Stratos Raphael Bircher (rbircher): The project looks realy active. Continue like this guys! -------------------- Twill (No shepherd review filed.) -------------------- VXQuery Raphael Bircher (rbircher): The mailing list traffic is not very high. However, the basic discussions are on the lists. -------------------- Usergrid (No shepherd review filed.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
