May reports due in ten days

[Jukka Zitting]

Hi,

It'll soon be time for the podlings reporting in May [1]  to start
drafting their reports.

When doing so, please consider the review results from February [2]:

  IP clearance: Amber
  Release trouble: Clerezza, Stanbol
  Low activity: Ambari, Nuvem, PhotArk, SIS, Wink, Zeta Components
  Low diversity: Airavata, Droids, VCL, Wookie
  Ready to graduate: Jena, Lucene.NET, NPanday, OpenNLP

Has the situation in your podling changed over the last three months?
If not, what's your plan for improving the situation?

For example, I notice that Clerezza has made a release, but Stanbol
still needs one. Also, Lucene.NET and NPanday are yet to graduate. Did
something come up to prevent progress, or have you just not gotten
around to it yet (which BTW is fine; much better than having bigger
issues)?

And to any projects in the "Low activity" category that still aren't
seeing increased activity: Do you have a good reason to expect
activity to pick up, or should we consider retiring the project?

Hi Jukka,

I am unable to edit the page as it shows as "Immutable Page". Can you open the page for edits?

Thanks,
Suresh

Hey Jukka,

It sure has RE: SIS :)

Looking at just mailing list activity:

sis-dev: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-sis-dev/
  went from 9 email messages in January 2012 to 32, 74 and 39 in Feb-April 2012

We also are participating pretty actively in GSoC and hoping to get 1 or 2
students who are collaborating with the Apache OODT project as well
for a joint effort.

In addition, we've seen some good cross pollination between other (at the time)
incubating projects like Jena and Any23, and TLPs like OODT. In Jena and Any23's
case, there are active discussions and work going on to implement the W3C GeoSPARQL
system using Apache SIS. After Andy Seaborne poked around on the mailing list, I volunteered
to implement it, and a subsequent thread has ensued.

In addition, I started rolling an RC for Apache SIS 0.2-incubating, but got blocked
on some packaging issues that Kevan Miller identified that I need to fix.
Shouldn't be too difficult and I hope to have an IPMC VOTE on it within the next
week or so.

Others, feel free to add in other things. But I'm pleased with where SIS is headed.
If we can add some new committers soon (which I expect), roll 0.2-incubating,
and then potentially get an 0.3 shortly thereafter, I think SIS will be well on its
way to graduating and its own project.

[note: I'm going to copy the above to the Incubator wiki as a stub report for
SIS for May 2012: others feel free to improve it.]

Cheers,
Chris

You're probably hitting the access restrictions that were recently
added to prevent spam.

With these restrictions only people in the contributors group [1] have
write access to the wiki.

If your account isn't included (I just added anyone who've used the
wiki recently), just reply with your wiki username and we'll grant you
the extra karma.

Hi Jukka,

Thanks. I think you granted me the karma as I was able to edit it.

Thanks!

Jena graduation has been approved by the board.

We need to do the graduation process now ...

Hi Jukka, all,
Amber devs are trying to have a better understanding on how to solve the IP
Clearance stuff via legal-discuss@ [1].

Hi Jukka,

Zeta Components is in the process of retiring. The devs voted for that already:
Here is the vote:
http://bit.ly/IQNbi0

Here is the vote result:
http://bit.ly/IQMV2w

Discussion:
http://bit.ly/IQNSI1

Reason is lack of activity. Ppl think this project might fit better to github.

Cheers
Christian

The Stanbol release is imminent, the seventh (!) release candidate has
just been voted on and should hit this list in the next few days.

As a Stanbol mentor I'm impressed by the effort put in making this
release compliant with ASF requirements, including creating a separate
-deps package after such things were discussed here. I'm confident
that Stanbol is ready for graduation once this release is out.
