Incubator PMC/Board report for Apr 2015 ([ppmc])

2015-04-06 Thread Marvin


Dear podling,

This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator 
PMC.
It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly
board report.

The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 15 April 2015, 10:30 am PST. The report 
for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator 
PMC 
requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to allow 
sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, Apr 1st).

Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC, and 
subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you 
should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting.

Thanks,

The Apache Incubator PMC

Submitting your Report
--

Your report should contain the following:

 * Your project name
 * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the 
project
   or necessarily of its field
 * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards 
   graduation.
 * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of
 * How has the community developed since the last report
 * How has the project developed since the last report.
 
This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:

  http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/April2015

Note: This is manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page
  is created from a template.

Mentors
---
Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the 
Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the 
project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator PMC.

 Hi Everyone,

 I am pleased to submit for consideration to the Apache Incubator
 the Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer proposal. We are actively
 soliciting interested mentors in this project related to climate
 science and analytics and big data.

 Please find the wiki text of the proposal below and the link up
 on the wiki here:

 Thank you for your consideration!

 Cheers,
 Chris

 == Abstract ==

 The Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer (CMDA) provides web services for
 multi-aspect physics-based and phenomenon-oriented climate model
 performance evaluation and diagnosis through the comprehensive and
 synergistic use of multiple observational data, reanalysis data, and
model
 outputs.

 == Proposal ==

 The proposed web-based tools let users display, analyze, and download
 earth science data interactively. These tools help scientists quickly
 examine data to identify specific features, e.g., trends, geographical
 distributions, etc., and determine whether a further study is needed.
All
 of the tools are designed and implemented to be general so that data
from
 models, observation, and reanalysis are processed and displayed in a
 unified way to facilitate fair comparisons. The services prepare and
 display data as a colored map or an X-Y plot and allow users to
download
 the analyzed data. Basic visual capabilities include 1) displaying
 two-dimensional variable as a map, zonal mean, and time series 2)
 displaying three-dimensional variable’s zonal mean, a two-dimensional
 slice at a specific altitude, and a vertical profile. General
analysis can
 be done using the difference, scatter plot, and conditional sampling
 services. All the tools support display options for using linear or
 logarithmic scales and allow users to specify a temporal range and
months
 in a year. The source/input datasets for these tools are CMIP5 model
 outputs, Obs4MIP observational datasets, and ECMWF reanalysis
datasets.
 They are stored on the server and are selectable by a user through
the web
 services.

 === Service descriptions ===

 1. '''Two dimensional variable services'''

 * Map of two-dimensional variable:  This services displays a two
 dimensional variable as a colored longitude and latitude map with
values
 represented by a color scheme. Longitude and latitude ranges can be
 specified to magnify a specific region.

 * Two dimensional variable zonal mean:  This service plots the zonal
mean
 value of a two-dimensional variable as a function of the latitude in
terms
 of an X-Y plot.

 * Two dimensional variable time series:  This service displays the
average
 of a two-dimensional variable over the specific region as function of
time
 as an X-Y plot.

 2. '''Three dimensional variable services'''

 * Map of a two dimensional slice of a three-dimensional variable:
This
 service displays a two-dimensional slice of a three-dimensional
variable
 at a specific altitude as a colored longitude and latitude map with
values
 represented by a color scheme.

 * Three dimensional zonal mean:  Zonal mean of the specified
 three-dimensional variable is computed and displayed as a

Mentors don't need to know the problem domain.

The most important quality of a mentor is outstanding communication skills.

The second most important quality is knowing when to be diplomatic, and
when not to be diplomatic.

The third most important qualities are:
* How to anticipate potential issues;
* How to solve problems;
* How to resolve points of difference;
* How to guide a group into following _The Apache Way_;
* Teaching the project how to solve problems;

The legacy of a good mentor, is a project that anticipates potential
issues, and solves them, without ever realizing that they have done so.

Draft Report April 2015 -- please review

2015-04-06 Thread Marvin Humphrey
Incubator PMC report for April 2015

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.

There are 40 podlings currently in incubation.

* Community

  New IPMC members:

Andrew Bayer

  People who left the IPMC:

None

* New Podlings

Groovy
SINGA

* Graduations

None

* Releases

  The following releases were made since the last Incubator report:

2015-03-03 apache-lens-2.0.1-beta-incubating
2015-03-16 nifi-0.0.2-incubating
2015-03-23 apache-calcite-1.1.0-incubating
2015-03-24 incubator-ignite-1.0.0-rc3
2015-03-27 slider-0.70.1-incubating

* IP Clearance

  Usergrid is working feverishly to finish up their IP Clearance.
  Updated SGA sent to secretary@a.o

  CommonsRDF SGA filed 2015-03-27.

  Zeppelin SGA submitted and acknowledged on 2015-03-20.

* Legal / Trademarks

  The old debate about how to submit SGAs for ALv2 projects with huge
  numbers of copyright holders reappeared with Groovy's SGA.  In the end,
  the SGA was signed by a single community member.

  Ambiguity around Legal Policy language on when optional GPL library
  dependencies are permitted caused confusion.

* Infrastructure

  The "Marvin" report reminders have not run in a timely manner for podlings
  for 4 months in a row.  A dedicated Incubator-specific replacement is
  being contemplated.

* Miscellaneous

  An official Twitter account for the Incubator was initialized but has not
  yet been used.  Access will be maintained via TweetDeck.

 Summary of podling reports 

* Still getting started at the Incubator

AsterixDB

Apache AsterixDB is a scalable big data management system (BDMS) that
provides storage, management, and query capabilities for large collections
of semi-structured data.

AsterixDB has been incubating since 2015-02-28.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

  1. Get SGA signed from UCI and others.
  2. Code drop and start actively using lists.
  3. Do an Apache release.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

  No, still getting started.

How has the community developed since the last report?

  Account setup is mostly done and code repositories are in place. Right now
  working mostly on the SGA to do the code drop.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  Account and other infrastructure setup mostly done.
  SGA and code drop still open.

Date of last release:

  No Releases yet.

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

  No elected PMC and/or committers

Calcite

Calcite is a highly customizable engine for parsing and planning queries on
data in a wide variety of formats. It allows database-like access, and in
particular a SQL interface and advanced query optimization, for data not
residing in a traditional database. (Renamed from Optiq on 2014-09-30.)

Calcite has been incubating since 2014-05-19.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

  1. Continue to build community
  2. Add more committers and PPMC members
  3. Demonstrate community robustness by rotating project tasks among
 multiple project members

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

  None.

How has the community developed since the last report?

  In March, there were 159 messages on dev@, 41 commits, 52 issues
  created, 37 issues resolved by 8 contributors.

  Julian Hyde gave a talk “Why you care about relational algebra (even
  though you didn’t know it)" about Calcite at Enterprise Data World in
  March. He also spoke at a Phoenix meet-up in San Francisco about
  Phoenix-Calcite integration.

  Collaborations are under way with other Apache projects:
   * Phoenix is going to use Calcite for SQL parsing and planning; and a
 separate project is using Calcite’s Avatica component to build a remote
 JDBC driver.
   * Added support for parsing/validating streaming SQL and collaborating
 with the Samza project on adding streaming SQL to Samza.
