### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Finalize bootstrap of the project (move existing issues to github, etc)
2. Review all files (ASF headers, ...)
3. Prepare a first release
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No real issue, but the bootstrap is very very slow.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
No really community development, the project bootstrap is still on the
way.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The bootstrap is very slow. JB (mentor) proposed several calls with the
team. A new meeting is planned to move forward.
The initial team should be more involved and take lead on some tasks.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. DL-based performance forecasting
2. DL-based spend recommendation
3. DL-based Inventory allocation
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
### How has the community developed since the last report?
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The following features were added to predictor_dl_model:
1. We added new features of user residency and user IPL (IP location).
2. We added pipeline and product tags to config file. Config file has
placeholders to resolve the names of intermediate tables instead of
having user to fill them up.
3. We pushed model-stats into Hive instead of Elasticsearch. This makes
the pipeline to create one set of coherent tables that are associates
with a pipeline run instead of having the artifacts into different
types of data storage.

Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings
name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to
correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name?

Comments: The podling has not yet done anything on list.
The SGA was filed late October 2020 so they are just starting.
They do not have a repository or a web page.
They claim in this report to have done a release but there
is no evidence of this.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher - I resigned from mentoring this podling. They refuse
to discuss activity on the mailing list. They do not communicate.
They claim to make a release. This report is the first time we've
heard of it.
Justin Mclean - The issues to be resolved before graduation need
to be ones related to the community and how Apache operates not
functionality. I'm concerned about the release and comments by
other mentors. There are also section in this report that are
unanswered.
What can be done to get this project back on track?
Dave Fisher - There is no back. This podling has never been on
track.
