IPMC/Shepherd notes:
--------------------
Livy is web service that exposes a REST interface for managing long running
Apache Spark contexts in your cluster. With Livy, new applications can be
built on top of Apache Spark that require fine grained interaction with many
Spark contexts.
Livy has been incubating since 2017-06-05.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow the community to have more activities.
2. Grow more contributors and committers.
3. Regular release.
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?
Activity on the dev and user mailing lists as well as the rate of reported
JIRA issues has stayed steady. There has been an uptick of development
activity around adding a new feature to the project (a Hive-compatible
Thrift server implementation).
How has the project developed since the last report?
A new feature (Hive-compatible Thrift server) is being implemented and
support is being added for Apache Spark 2.4 release.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Heron has been incubating since 2017-06-23.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Removal of binaries from code base (this is already completed)
2. Moving from com.twitter.heron to org.apache.heron namespace (this is
already completed)
3. How to publish the binary artifacts into the Apache Maven repo
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
We had an issue with scheduling to get the report done on time. We will
work to correct this for the next period.
How has the community developed since the last report?
The community has been increasing steadily. The community has been asking
questions through the mailing list and slack channels. The supporting
community has responded with answers to questions asked. We have also had
new individuals come into help with cleaning the project from an outside
perspective. It's been very helpful to the committers.
How has the project developed since the last report?
There have been mainly bug fixes and improvements to existing features.
Some to note are
* Fixing issue with downloader for Nomad
* Updating to the latest Dhalion version
* Updating of Dockerfiles and docker build scripts
* Updates to the documentation
* Updates to Helm charts
* Added a S3 uploader

I'm concerned about lack of activity on the public mailing lists.
Decisions are being made, I just don't know where (Slack?). I'll be leaning
on the podling to be more publicly transparent.

Extracting all binaries out of code base is still in progress. There is only one binary left.
Internal developers from Twitter are working on this process.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* The number of contributors to the project has increased from 82 to 87 since the last report.
* A meetup was hosted at Twitter HQ in Sunnyvale, CA with approximately 80 in attendance
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Development has been very active.
* Work is in progress to get all licensing headers in compliance with Apache
* Twitter has submitted a signed SGA, granting ownership of Heron to Apache
* The repository has been moved from Twitter's github account to Apache git
* The appropriate work has been completed for package renaming. com.twitter has now been changed to org.apache
* All of the binaries have been removed from the code base with the exception of Scribe. Twitter developers are to finish this task.

Comments: Heron has been somewhat slow in adopting Apache-style communication and practices. Hopefully
a first Apache release will provide an opportunity to change that.
IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher: I've been following the podling for many months. The podling is beginning to communicate better on the dev@ list. It took a long time to get the SGA from Twitter, but now that it is done. They are working towards the right way. They do need to have better asynchronous discussion and I've prompted for such on dev@.

3. 1st ASF release
Migrating the code to Apache is still stalled, pending the SGA from Twitter. We've recently received word that there is progress on this front and that the SGA should be forthcoming.
The Heron team has a migration plan[1] forward into Apache. This plan is mostly on hold as Twitter is not moving forward with the code migration until after the SGA has been submitted.

In LEGAL-339[1] clarification was provided that the project could move into Apache
git without having an SGA in place. The Heron team has developed a migration plan[2]
forward into Apache which is currently being discussed.

issues around the SGA, it appears the project is still in process of adopting
Apache infrastructure for project communication.

Migration to Apache infrastructure is waiting on the SGA from Twitter which has not provided an ETA. There was a discussion on the general incubator and Heron dev lists[1] about whether an SGA was required, but consensus was not reached. LEGAL-339 [2] has been filed to get clarification.

Comments: Currently waiting on SGA (pinged for status, but no response yet). Little activity on mailing lists so
far. Decision making seems to be taking place off-list (3 non-Apache releases). I concur with Dave
Fisher that monthly reporting should be considered (although this is report #2 in their initial monthly
reporting cycle).
IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher: It seems that with 3 non-apache releases while there is not even ay use of Apache resources that Heron ought to focus on migration. I think that they should be monthly until the code is moved.
