2. Rotate Release Managers for future releases.
3.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
How has the community developed since the last report?
Seeing some contributions now from independent developers.
Active discussions on mailing lists with potential users and contributors.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The project has had its first two releases in July 2017 - 0.1 and 0.1.1
Important new features have been added:
- Resumable workflows
- Scaling nodes during service creation
- AWS plugin support
- Additional work towards being more TOSCA-compliant (e.g. interface
inputs support)
- Additional usage examples have been added, including ones that use
IaaS plugins (Openstack, AWS), as well as one covering a real-life NFV
use-case (Clearwater example)
- More comprehensive tests, including for documentation generation, and
parallelization of test suites
- Standardized the release process with automatic shell scripts,
allowing anyone to easily create additional releases for the project
- 64 JIRA issues have been resolved since the last report

HTrace
HTrace is a tracing framework intended for use with distributed systems
written in java.
HTrace has been incubating since 2014-11-11.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Continue to grow the Apache HTrace community
2. Continue to explore projects integrating Apache HTrace
3. Continue to develop and release stable Apache HTrace incubating
artifacts
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
In a DISCUSSION thread on our dev list [1], one of us suggested
moving the podling htrace to the attic because of inactivity.
A healthy back and forth suggested that we are not
dead yet, that we cut back our scope radically, and
that we give it another try before calling it quits.

"...A healthy back and forth suggested that we are not dead yet,
that we cut back our scope radically, and that we give it another
try before calling it quits." I think HTrace may have a good
opportunity
to come back to life if the above cut backs are implemented.

Mnemonic
Apache Mnemonic is a transparent NVM hybrid memory oriented library that has
created Durable Object Model (DOM), Durable Computing Model (DCM) and
Durable Query Model (DQM)
that bring many advantages to significantly improve the performance of
massive real-time data processing/analytics. developers are able to use this
library to design their cache-less, SerDe-less and direct-native
high-performance applications or frameworks.

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).
