Airflow

Airflow is a workflow automation and scheduling system that can be used to
author and manage data pipelines.

Airflow has been incubating since 2016-03-31.

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

  1. We have had 4 releases and are working toward our 5th. We are getting
better at releases.
  2.
  3.

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?
1. We had our forth official release 1.9.0 on Jan 2, 2018.
2. Since our last podling report 4 months ago (i.e. between Sept 25 & Feb 8,
   inclusive), we grew our contributors from 315 to 385
3. Since our last podling report 4 months ago (i.e. between Sept 25 & Feb
8,
   inclusive), we resolved 331 pull requests (currently at 2128 closed PRs)
4. Since being accepted into the incubator, the number of companies
officially
   using Apache Airflow has risen from 30 to 132, 18 new from the last
podling
   report.


How has the project developed since the last report?
  See above : 331 PR resolved, 70 new contributors, & 18 new companies
  officially using it.

How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Crail

Crail is a storage platform for sharing performance critical data in
distributed data processing jobs at very high speed.

Crail has been incubating since 2017-11-01.

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

  1. Community building
  2. Improve project visibility
  3. Create the first release

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

* No issues require attention at this time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

* We are trying to advertise Crail to attract more people
  to contribute and/or use it. In that respect, we got a
  presentation at this years SF Spark Summit accepted, where
  we will talk about Crail deployment in the Spark context.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 * Code transfer to apache.org complete
 * Project website up, working on improvements and compliance
 * Working on adapting Crail build process to new (Apache)
   environment.

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

   Well done getting the web site up and the source code into
   ASF git. It feels like the project is really up and running.
   Next steps are a release and podling name search

Re: [VOTE] Retire iota

[Pierre Smits]

+1, as cleaning house (and retiring codlings is part of that) is also part
of staying healthy.


Best regards,

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache NetBeans 9.0 Beta (incubating) rc3

[David Jencks]

What happened to 
LEGAL-361 
?

My impression from this issue is that the previous RC included a binary jar 
that was mostly EPL 1.0 but had at least one file that no one knew the origin, 
contents, or license of.  I don’t see that any progress has been made on this 
issue, has the jar been removed from the new RC?  I just scanned a couple of 
the links below but didn’t see any mention of this.
