## Description:
The mission of Apache Brooklyn is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a software framework for modeling, monitoring and managing cloud
applications through autonomic blueprints.

## Issues:
As was noted in April's Apache jclouds report, its PMC intend to move
jclouds to the Attic. We in the Brooklyn community were among those
who took part in the conversation but it hasn't been possible to find
people with time to commit to the maintenance of jclouds.

There has been a little discussion on the Brooklyn mailing list about
what to do when jclouds moves to the Attic but at this time it's
still unclear what we will do when this happens. Possibly we can
continue using jclouds as it is for now and, if we need any bug
or security fixes, we can fork and make these as we need them.  But
as we only use a smallish subset of jclouds this won't equate to
enough effort to keep jclouds going as a project.

- There is a steady turnover of commits to the project.

## Community Health:

- There has been significant engagement during this quarter with the Apache
 jclouds community, discussing the proposed move of jclouds to the Attic.
 As this is one of our main dependencies this is clearly of concern to us.
- Unfortunately it appears after much discussion that there are not enough
 people with sufficient bandwidth to contribute to the maintenance of jclouds,
 so the Attic seems to be the right next step. See last month's jclouds board
 report for more details.
- It is unclear what the implications of this for Brooklyn will be. We will need
 to have a discussion on the mailing list, establish a plan and carry it out.
 Options seem to include forking (part of?) jclouds, or writing a minimal
 replacement within Brooklyn. More radical changes might also be possible,
 which might require changes in the Brooklyn model.

## Project Activity:
We are delighted to announce the release of Apache Brooklyn 1.0.0 in this
past quarter. You may already have seen the announcement at
https://s.apache.org/m05ao. I can put it no better than in the words
of Richard Downer, the release manager:

Brooklyn has been an Apache project since 2014, and we spent the first few
years figuring out the cloud landscape, the ideal expression for
applications, the best API and UI. We've now stabilised these and many
other decisions, and we have been confident for some time that Brooklyn is
"production quality" and we, the PMC and the community, can support it for
the long term. Therefore, it was time to stamp it "1.0.0".

I'd like to thank everyone involved in bringing Brooklyn to 1.0.0 - there
are many people, no longe actively involved, who contributed code back in
the early days that is still here and actively used in Brooklyn today - and
on the flip side, we have new contributors who have just started making
their first contributions to Brooklyn in the last few months. All of you
are very important to this project. Thank you all!

## Description:
 - Apache Brooklyn is a software framework for modelling, monitoring and
   managing cloud applications through autonomic blueprints.

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

## Activity:
 - Development continues with a regular turnover of pull requests submitted
   and merged. We are pleased that the new UI has drawn some initial commits
   from new contributors.
 - Rather than making a 1.0.0 release of Brooklyn in the summer, we decided we
   would benefit from an interim release first, given that the new UI is so
   recent. Accordingly we have released Apache Brooklyn 1.0.0-M1 as a first
   milestone on our way to an official 1.0.0 release.


## Health report:
 - The project continues with a regular turnover of pull requests and commits,
   especially around the new UI that was contributed in May.
 - We continue to monitor our community for potential new committers and PMC
   members with the aim of regularly adding individuals (see "PMC Changes").

## PMC changes:

 - Currently 16 PMC members.
 - Duncan Grant was added to the PMC on Thu Aug 30 2018

## Committer base changes:

 - Currently 16 committers.
 - No new committers added in the last 3 months

## Description:
 - Apache Brooklyn is a software framework for modelling, monitoring and
   managing cloud applications through autonomic blueprints.

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

## Activity:
 - Development continues with a regular turnover of pull requests submitted
   and merged.
 - We are happy to announce [1] that our users at Fujitsu, UShareSoft, and
   Cloudsoft have generously sponsored the contribution of a new and modern UI
   for Apache Brooklyn. This is based on the previously-proprietary Cloudsoft
   AMP UI, for those of you familiar with that.
 - As part of the work for the new UI, we have overhauled the scripts we use
   to generate LICENSE/NOTICE file inclusions, to be sure to include all the
   required licenses, distinguish between source and binary licenses, and
   support auto-recognition of license by Github [2].

## Health report:
 - The project continues with a regular turnover of pull requests and commits.
   Development is continuing and users are feeding back their problems and
   feature suggestions.
 - We continue to monitor our community for potential new committers and PMC
   members with the aim of regularly adding individuals. On this occasion, we
   have been delighted to welcome Duncan Grant as a new committer to the
   project. Duncan has been a consistent contributor for a long time not only
   in terms of code and docs contributions to Brooklyn but also through code
   reviews and responding to requests and queries on IRC. He has a very good
   knowledge of Brooklyn.

## PMC changes:

 - Currently 15 PMC members.
 - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
 - Last PMC addition was Thomas Bouron on Tue Oct 31 2017

## Committer base changes:

 - Currently 16 committers.
 - Duncan Grant was added as a committer on Wed Jun 13 2018

## Releases:

 - Last release was 0.12.0 on Wed Sep 27 2017
 - We had previously discussed doing a 1.0 release around this time, but with
   the introduction of the new UI it seems prudent to allow some time for any
   integration issues to be uncovered and fixed, after which we can release
   1.0 with the new look.


## JIRA activity:

 - 10 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months

## Description:

- Apache Brooklyn Project is a software framework for modelling, monitoring
  and managing cloud applications through autonomic blueprints.

## Issues:

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

## Activity:

- Development continues with a regular turnover of pull requests submitted
  and merged.
- We had previously proposed two candidate Google Summer of Code projects,
  one for a new UI and one for improved authentication mechanisms. However,
  while there were a number of expressions of interest and some proposed
  projects, we did not find that any of them met the criteria sufficiently
  for us to accept them.
- Richard Downer stepped down as PMC chair and I (Geoff Macartney, geomacy)
  have taken up the role.

## Health report:

- The project continues with a regular turnover of pull requests and commits.
  It has been a relatively quiet quarter compared to previous ones in terms
  of the number of commits, however development is continuing and users are
  feeding back their problems and feature suggestions.
- We continue to monitor our community for potential new committers and PMC
  members with the aim of regularly adding individuals. On this occasion,
  there have been no new appointments since our last report.

 - There has been dev list discussion about releasing a 1.0.0 version of
   Brooklyn. While no firm date has been set, the consensus seems to be that
   we are close to being able to do that, and I expect discussions about a
   suitable date for the release will happen during the summer.

- An unsolicited volunteer for a GSoC project has been an exciting
 advance.
- Unfortunately we do not have any talks at ApacheCon NA, owing to
 the majority of our active community being Europe-based. This would
 have been a good opportunity to spread awareness of the project
 which we were unfortunately unable to take advantage of. However we
 have had representation at ApacheCon Europe for the last two years
 and expect this to continue this year.

  Description:
  Apache Brooklyn Project is a software framework for modeling,
  monitoring and managing cloud applications through autonomic
  blueprints.

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

Activity:
 - Our source code repository reorganisation is complete and we are
   now using multiple repositories for different modules of our project.
   This means that our incubator repository is no longer in use.
 - This means that the bulk of the graduation tasks are completed. We
   will conduct a final review of our graduation tasks and tie up any
   loose ends as soon as possible.
 - Having completed the repository reorganisation, we aim to release a
   new version (0.9.0) as soon as possible.

Health report:
 - With regular code contributions and merges, new users on mailing
   lists, and turnover of JIRA tickets, we are satisfied with the
   health of the project.

  Description:
  Apache Brooklyn Project is a software framework for modeling,
  monitoring and managing cloud applications through autonomic
  blueprints.

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

Activity:
 - The holiday season saw a slow-down in activity, but development has
   picked up again. Code is being contributed and merged at a regular
   pace, and new users continue to appear on the mailing lists.
 - We are moving through the post-graduation task list. Our main focus
   is on migrating our source code repository; we are using the move
   from incubator to TLP as an opportunity to reorganise our source code
   from a single monolithic repository to a small number of repositories
   focussed on distinct modules of the project. The new structure has
   been collectively decided and is now in place in the single
   repository; what remains is the physical split and move to the
   multiple new repositories.
 - As soon as the graduation tasks are complete, we aim to release a new
   version (0.9.0) as soon as possible.

Health report:
 - With regular code contributions and merges, new users on mailing
   lists, and turnover of JIRA tickets, we are satisfied with the

Brooklyn is a framework for modelling, monitoring, and managing applications
through autonomic blueprints.

Brooklyn has been incubating since 2014-05-01.

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

 1. One more release (under way)
 2. Podling Name Search (under way)
 3.

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

 The Brooklyn community is active, growing, increasingly diverse and doing
 very well. Chip (champion) suggested a couple of weeks back that the
 community should start discussing graduation.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 The 0.7.0 release got out with only minor comments about a month ago.  A
 0.8.0 version is being prepared that addresses the comments and should be
 out shortly.

 There are 2 new committers and PPMC members that joined, plus a 3rd one
 currently under vote.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Very active, growing community.
 A couple of presentations at LinuxCon in Seattle in Aug.
 Talks scheduled for ApacheCon, Budapest in Oct.

Date of last release:

 2015-07-27 (0.7.0)

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

 2015-08-06 (svet)
 (one more under vote)

Brooklyn is a framework for modelling, monitoring, and managing applications
through autonomic blueprints.

Brooklyn has been incubating since 2014-05-01.

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

 1. Grow the community
 2. More diversity of the committers/PPMC (currently biased towards
    employees of a single organization)
 3. Following up our first release with further, regular, releases

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?

 Our community continues to grow slowly but surely, and every month
 receives interest and contributions from new community members. In
 particular, Brooklyn's recent integrations with Cloud Foundry have
 brought some interest from that community into ours.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Code continues to be proposed and merged at a high rate. We are
 satisfied with our technical velocity.

 We plan to follow up our December release with a further release
 as soon as we can, and following this up with regular releases.
 We plan to add binary convenience bundles to our next release and
 have been working on complying with the appropriate licensing
 documentation for this purpose.

Date of last release:

 2014-12-23 (apache-brooklyn-0.7.0-M2-incubating)

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

 No change since 2014-07-02.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:

 Chip Childers (chipchilders):

   The Brooklyn community is doing very well in learning the rules /
   policies / nuances of working at the ASF. It still needs a bit more time
   to build up a diverse community IMO, but things are looking good.

 David Nalley (ke4qqq):

   The Brooklyn folks kicked out their first release during this reporting
   cycle, which is an important milestone. Work still remains in terms of
   building a diverse community.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 Our community continues to grow slowly but surely, and has received
 contributions from new community members that are significant and
 highly interesting to our project.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 No major changes from the last report; we are well-settled into our
 new home and commits are being made at a regular rate. Preparation for
 our first release continues.

 We neglected to mention in last month's report about the completion of
 a code grant for the "camp-server" component. This is a crucial
 component of Brooklyn, and deserves its place in Brooklyn, rather than
 an external dependency where we would have no control over release
 schedules and bug fixing. So we are grateful to the donor, Cloudsoft,
 for passing this component to Apache Brooklyn.

Date of last release:

 No releases under Apache yet.

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

 No change since 2014-07-02.
