It is time for me to step down from the Incubator PMC. Before I officially depart I'd like to help the podlings I am currently mentoring, Superset and Samoa, find new mentors. If anyone has time and interest in mentoring these projects I would greatly appreciate their stepping in to replace me.
"Superset is an enterprise-ready web application for data exploration, data visualization and dashboarding." The project has been growing the community and making regular releases and is nearing graduation. >From Samoa's self description: "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). It features a pluggable architecture that allows it to run on several DSPEs such as Apache Storm, Apache S4, and Apache Samza." The project has been in incubation for 5 years now and has at times struggled to keep momentum, though it has recently added a new committer and made a release. Alan.
