Of course, we will constantly be on a lookout for new community members to be invited either as committers or PMC. ## PMC changes: - PMC has been just formalized as part of the graduation resolution - Currently 13 PMC members. ## Committer base changes: - Currently 13 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Nandish Jayaram on 2016-09-08 ## Releases: - v1.11.0-incubating released on 2017-05-17 - v1.10.0-incubating released on 2017-03-10 - v1.9.1-incubating released on 2016-09-19 ## Mailing list activity: Mailing activity remains steady with 203 posts to dev@ and 23 posts to user@ ## JIRA Statistics: - 10 JIRA tickets created in the last month - 3 JIRA tickets resolved in the last month

Special Order 7A, Establish the Apache MADlib Project, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors voting, with Shane Curcuru abstaining. As the MADlib trademark hasn't been transferred to the Foundation yet: 1) MADlib is required to include a disclaimer on their homepage and in their releases, indicating that the mark doesn't belong to the ASF so far, until the trademark is transferred. 2) The expectation is that the trademark handover will be completed before the end of 2017.

tdunning:
This project seems to be ticking along pretty reasonably. The only worry I
have about it is that it seems to be strongly centered around a few (or
even just one) very strong contributors. That is a worry relative to
longevity and community building. Overall, I don't think that the project
is getting much marginal value from incubation.
johndament:
Its unclear what guidance from the IPMC is required if the podling is
already reaching out to legal, which would be the main thing I can think
of to recommend to them right now.
rvs:
@johndament: I think we need to formalize whatever decision by legal. I'll
create a formal LEGAL JIRA soon.

2. Meetup 10/29/15 @ Pivotal Palo Alto, CA: “Data Science at Scale for
IoT” http://www.meetup.com/Pivotal-Open-Source-Hub/events/225426787/
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. All known issues related to IP cleanliness described in
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/MADlibProposal have been fixed and
pushed to the Apache repo.
2. All software activity tracking has migrated to Apache MADlib JIRA from
previous tool. 18 JIRAs created and 2 resolved in last 30 days.
3. All commits and code are now being done on the Apache Git repo.
4. Three new quick start guides have been written: i) install, ii) user,
and iii) developer. The goal is to make it easier to onboard new
community members.
5. A new Greenplum DB sandbox VM with MADlib pre-installed has been
created and made available publicly at
https://github.com/greenplum-db/gpdb-sandbox-tutorials. The goal is to
make it easier to onboard new community members - they can download and
start trying MADlib right away with no install/setup.
6. A "catchup JIRA" was filed
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-912 in order to catch up
between the time of the code grand to Apache and bringing in dev work
that was already in flight at the time. We apologize for any
inconvenience in clubbing together these multiple items; it was a
one-time operation.

Konstantin Boudnik (cos):
I don't see much info on the community development. How many new
contributors the project had gained? Were there any additions in the
mailing lists? Please consider providing this information in the next
report.
Big Data Machine Learning in SQL for Data Scientists.
MADlib has been incubating since 2015-09-15.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Produce a first Apache release.
2. Finalize infrastructure migration and ICLAs from committers.
3. Expand the community, increase dev list activity and add new
committers/pmc members.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Just started incubation, nothing specific to report at this time.
How has the community developed since the last report?
We are approximately 2 weeks into the incubation process.
1. So still at early stage.
2. Most of the core contributors have completed their ICLA's and have
established apache ids.
3. Several presentations and meet-ups at ApacheCon EU and Strata NYC to
discuss MADlib move to ASF governance.
4. Formal announcements from Pivotal, press briefings and blogs related
to the move of the project into Apache aimed at growing awareness and
interest in the project. Specialty press have picked up the story and
reported widely.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Early activity:
1. Initial code drop provided to Apache
2. Core infrastructure is in the process of being migrated from existing
infrastructure: mailing lists, git, jira, wiki, website
Date of last release:
No release yet.
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
Most of initial list of committers have been on-boarded, some still
outstanding. No new members added on top of the initial committer list.
