- No new committers. Last addition was Dinuka DeSilva on 2021-07-22.

## Project Activity:
The development momentum is stable, and work towards breaking the project into
smaller sub-components is in acceptable progress. Releasing these individual
components as stand-alone components is the next step. The last release was
still on March 24th, 2019. But with code simplification efforts, we are getting
closer to strident releases.

## Community Health:
The community is quite healthy. The simplification efforts of the code case are
yielding fruition. New users and developers are quickly trying out
individual sub-systems and making contributions. We plan to continue these
efforrs in making the code base more self-explanatory.

Google Summer of code contributors were active and we receieved three
proposals. Review process is ongoing.

## Project Activity:
Project activity is consistent, but we dipped the momentum toward releases.
The last release was still on March 24th, 2019. As the new calendar year
brings in new energy, we will speed towards breaking the codebase into
sub-systems and releasing the individual artifacts.

## Community Health:
The community activity tapered down towards the end of the year and picked
back again post-holidays. As a community, we are trying to lower the barrier
to entry by making the READMEs more descriptive, simplifying the build steps,
and making it easy to get hello world style capabilities working. We will put
these simplifications to the test as GSoC contributors start exploring the
projects.

## Project Activity:
Four students successfully finished Google summer of code. Some of these student
pull requests have been reviewed and merged, others are still in active
discussion. Once we incorporate all these contributions, we will work on the
release, which is overdue. The last release of version 0.17 was made on March
24th 2019. We will prioritize to release as soon as possible.

## Community Health:
A talk about Apache Airavata at ApacheCon NA 2022 was well received. We will
discuss the feedback with the community on how to peel out the interesting
sub-components and untangle them from the main code base so we can build
communities around these individual pieces. The integrated project has become
too complex to attract a diverse community. We will act on these suggestions
in the next quarter.

reenergized community.

## Community Health:
Community is thriving in summer and visible in the usage of the software as
well as development with 171 newly opened PRs and 71 PRs closed in past
quarter, there is momentum. Improving user and developer documentation seems
to be paying off, we plan to put more effort into lowering the entry barrier to
the project.

## Project Activity:
The project remains steady. To encourage more interactivity, we enabled the
use of Github issues which is helping at the same time fracturing issue
management across JIRA and GitHub. The last release was on March 24th, 2019. The
code-base reorganizing is moving at a snail pace and is still holding the
release, we hope to get these out in summer.

## Community Health:
The community remains healthy. Development is progressing at a stable pace. The
google summer of code student interest was relatively low compared to previous
years. Following last few years trend, we are anticipating high summer
activity.

## Issues:
 - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

## Releases:

 - Last release was 0.16 on Mon Jul 25 2016 We have been excessively relying
   on ansible scripts for the user community to clone the master repo and
   build and use airavata. This is a concern we will address to make periodic
   snapshots and release actively. We will address the release issue (or lack
   of) before next board report.

## Description:
Apache Airavata is a distributed system software framework to manage simple to
composite applications with complex execution and workflow
patterns on diverse computational resources.

## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
- The community is active and rocking.

## Health report:
- The project remains healthy. 3 new committers were on boarded recently.
There are 4 GSoC students applications we look forward to mentor them.

The community has found a rhythm in transitioning active developers. We see a
cycle of new contributors taking more pro-active role while previously active
developers answer
key design questions. The project should brainstorm mechanisms to further
retain contributions from folks moving on.

strident releases plan. We finally merged develop and feature branches to
branches and preparing for 0.17 release. We hope to
get back to release early and often.

## Description:
Apache Airavata is a distributed system software framework to manage
simple to composite applications with complex execution and workflow
patterns on diverse computational resources.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
Since the last reporting time, the activity has picked up both on mailing lists
and code commits.

## Health report:
The project remains healthy. There are quite a few new contributors and an
increase in pull requests. We anticipate some of these contributors will
hang-on, and join the PMC bandwagon. The attention to detail in review of
the pull requests has improved and the contributors are responding well
to the feedbacks. A PMC member was added during this reporting period.

## Mailing list activity:

The mailing list traffic increased. The Jenkins build failures were coming to
dev list which provides a misleading statistic below. We now moved the jenkins
notifications to issues. From next quarter, the dev list threads will purely
indicate discussions.  Excluding this, still there is fair amount of community
engagement both on dev and user lists. We would like to continue to improve on
these aspects.

Apache Airavata is a distributed system software framework to manage
simple to composite applications with complex execution and workflow
patterns on diverse computational resources.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
The community has been active. The GSOC projects are wrapping up. The project has
a new website and logo, both to align with new ASF logo and demonstrate the
project is indeed active :). A new release was made during this reporting period.

## Health report:
- The community remained stable, no substantial changes either up or down. The GSoC
 students has been less productive than previous years. While we can nit-pick on students,
we as mentors have not been pro-active relatively. We will hope to put more efforts in “recruiting”.
- Two of the PMC members (Marlon Pierce, Suresh Marru) are teaching a graduate level class
related to Apache Airavata, we hope some of the students will stir up new directions for the project.

Apache Airavata is a distributed system software framework to manage
simple to composite applications with complex execution and workflow
patterns on diverse computational resources.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:

The community has been active. There are designed floating around for
a face lift of the website and logo to align with new ASF logo. We
hope to roll this out by the time of ApacheCon.

## Health report:

As with previous years Airavata has attracted around 10 GSoC applications.
We had enough mentors to mentor all these projects but tried to restrict to
3 or 4 to pave way for other PMC’s to take advantage of new contributors.
Following previous years students, we are hoping a fraction of the
contributors will stick around beyond GSOC and eventually become part
of the PMC.

prepared for Airavata 0.16 release this quarter and expecting it to be
out in the next few weeks.

- 0.15 was released on Fri Dec 04 2015

## Mailing list activity:
The communication on the mailing lists remain high.
The high increase in dev list communication is largely attributed to GSOC
student applications.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:

The community has been active but was understandably slow towards end
of the year. This is typical. We expect to see activity on mailing list
raise back in new year.

## Health report:

Past few years have seen high activity around GSOC time frames. We expect
that will happen again this year.

PMC members Marlon Pierce and Suresh Marru are teaching a class based on
Apache Airavata. We hope the class will spur additional users and assist in
directly inject new committers or indirectly simplifying contributors
on-boarding process and shepherding starter tasks.

   Cutting releases and fostering more future release planning might stimulate

has voted on a new architecture mailing which has worked out well. There is
a sudden increase of volunteers who are actively taking part in architecture
discussions. These volunteers previously had trouble to keep up with dev list
traffic. We hope to recruit few of these active contributors into the PMC.

== Committer/PMC Changes ==

During this reporting period, there are no changes to PMC. Last member was
added on July 24th 2013. The PMC has voted on diverging from PMC=Committers
to lowered the entry barrier. This has enabled the PMC to vote in 3 committers
in past couple of months. We hope the committers use these as a stepping stone,
feel motivated to hangout and get voted into the PMC.
The community remains vibrant and we constantly are on the looks for new PMC
members and committers. Airavata has migrated to git (with a mirror in github)
which seem to resonate well with new contributors. We are yet to unleash this
enthusiasm into code contributions.

== Other Issues ==

There are no outstanding issues requiring board attention.

The release vote for Airavata 0.7 version was called on April 11th 2013.
The VOTE is called after extensive testing on 5 RC's.

== Activity ==

The mailing list, jira and commit activity remains very high. Community is
currently voting on two policies for following a 6 week release cycle and
to adopt Test Driven Development (TDD) methodology.

== Community ==

Airavata experimenting to better align GSoC projects with mainstream
development. During the GSoC community bonding period, the students are
being encouraged to first follow along the tutorials and get fully
comfortable with the code base. Secondly a release is called out with a
focus on JIRA competition. All potential GSoC students are encouraged to
bring out as many bugs as possible and the PMC is committed to do virtual
hackathon's to close out these JIRA's teaching students along the way to
contribute patches and documentation. These approaches are nicely helping
to identify students who have interest in the project itself and not just
the GSoC program.

== Outreach ==

Co-ordinated by Google India University Programs, Suresh Marru has given
virtual google hangout talks on Apache, GSOC and Airavata. The focus of
the talks is to encourage students to apply for GSOC at Apache and make
use of the opportunity to go beyond the summer projects and contribute to
open source. The response is good with Airavata attracting interest from
15 students from premier academic institutions. Sample slides are at -

Airavata is a software toolkit which provides features to compose, manage,
execute, and monitor large scale applications and workflows on computational
resources ranging from local clusters to national grids and computing clouds.
Airavata is incubating since May 2011.

A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation

 1. Airavata started to see active contributions from diverse organizations.
    Thanks to GSoC students, tutorial and outreach events conducted by dev's,
    and growing general interest. The community would like to keep this
    momentum, and encourage diverse participation and hoping to retain
    interest from GSoC students.

 2. Create a clear and concise roadmap.

 3. Review the architecture and document the findings and improve incumbent
    documentation.

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

 The community was very active this summer with large number of dev list
 and code commit email traffic (May: Dev-220, Commit-169;
 June: Dev-371, Commit-366; July: Dev-271, Commit-226).

 Random community members have been proposing new use cases, and filing
 feature requests in JIRA, this is a very good sign. Hoping to see some
 of them will turn into contributors and then committers.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 Yes. Shahani Weerawarana from University of Moratuwa, Srilanka
 was voted in as a committer and PPMC members based on her contributions.
 A good number of community members are actively filing JIRA's and some have
 started to contribute patches. Some of them seem to be potential committers.

 Of the 4 GSoC projects proposed on Airavata 3 students are actively
 developing and interacting with community. In addition to GSoC goals,
 these students also are actively participating in technical discussions
 and reviewing, testing and voting on releases.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Within the last quarter the project has made 0.3-incubating and
 0.4-incubating releases.

Airavata is a software toolkit which provides features to compose, manage,
execute, and monitor large scale applications and workflows on computational
resources ranging from local clusters to national grids and computing clouds.
Airavata is incubating since May 2011.

A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation

 1. The documentation is improving but still not par to ease barrier of entry.
    The code, documentation and JIRA issues have to be efficiently
    organized and managed to appeal to wider developer community.

 2. Develop a strong community with organizational diversity and well
    aligned with existing ASF projects as outlined here:
    http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/AiravataProposal#Alignment

 3. Create a regular and predictable release process and schedule

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

 The community is very active averaging 150 dev list emails and 75 commits
 per month. Airavata community encourages cross pollination with other
 Apache projects and also reuses significant number of license compatible
 open source libraries. This has helped keep the focus, but delayed the
 releases with impasse on legal requirements. The delay in making a release
 had lost some developer momentum.

 The community is not yet significantly diverse but lately the interest is
 growing. The project is committed and very supportive to external users and
 is putting the effort on increasing diversity. The PMC has discussed few
 potential outreach venues and have proposed and engaged with 8 GSoC student
 proposals.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 No new committers or PPMC members elected in the last quarter. Three new
 users from the community are very active in the mailing list. Some have
 started to send patches and have potential interest.

 4 GSoC projects proposed on Airavata have been accepted. The students for
 these projects are Hasitha Aravinda, Yaroslav Porshnev, Milinda Pathirage,
 and Bhathiya Jayasekara.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 0.2-incubating release candidate (skipped 0.1-incubating numbering) was
 significantly improved in regards to license and notice complains. The
 Community Vote was successful with 5 PPMC and 2 mentor votes. The Vote
 in IPMC general list is ongoing.

 With the delay in release, the community has branched a 0.2 release and
 has made significant progress on the trunk. Many features have been added
 and ready for successive couple more releases.

 The community has actively responded to GSoC proposals and student
 questions resulting in few quality proposals.

 Community is voting for a wiki to increase focus on documentation and
 tutorial.

 Whilst our community is reasonably large and active we do not, at present,
 have significant diversity, but are working on it. Right now most of the
 contributors that are active are from Indiana University. Chris from JPL
 is involved very closely from a mentoring perspective and will try and get
 involved code wise. The 0.2 release candidate is currently VOTE'ing and
 DISCUSS'ing.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 No new committers or PPMC members elected in the last quarter. Decent
 discussion on the dev and user lists, with the sporadic user coming by
 and expressing interest.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 - 0.1-incubating release was cancelled, and are now VOTE'ing on
   0.2-incubating release candidate (skipped 0.1-incubating numbering).

 - Process surrounding the release is under discussion on the DISCUSS
   thread. Following the Rave process which seems to have worked for them.
