## Description: The mission of Knox is the creation and maintenance of software related to Simplify and normalize the deployment and implementation of secure Hadoop clusters ## Project Status: Current project status: The Apache Knox project is ongoing and healthy even if mature. We continue to have new features described in Knox Improvement Proposals (KIPs) which provide a one-pager view of a proposal and facilitates discussion. Issues for the board: Nothing needing to be addressed by the board at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Knox was founded 2014-02-18 (10 years ago) There are currently 24 committers and 20 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Marton Balázs on 2022-11-27. - No new committers. Last addition was Marton Balázs on 2022-11-28. ## Project Activity: The last release for Apache Knox was release on 02/27/2023 as 2.0.0. We continue to mature the project with more improvements to the Admin UI and and user experience. We have started to cleanup the codebase to remove unused and/or tech debt that requires changes to be made across multiple plugins even though no one is using them. We have begun working on usecases that are more targeted towards kubernetes and istio based deployments as well. Dpendency management for CVEs are an ongoing effort. ## Community Health: dev@knox.apache.org had a 4% increase in traffic in the past quarter (430 emails compared to 410) 4 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-89% change) 4 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-87% change) 14 commits in the past quarter (-57% change) 4 code contributors in the past quarter (no change) 20 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-39% change) 15 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-54% change) The health related metrics above show a downturn but given the relative maturity of the project and the holidays during the quarter the actual numbers involved are quite reasonable.
## Description: The mission of Knox is the creation and maintenance of software related to Simplify and normalize the deployment and implementation of secure Hadoop clusters ## Project Status: Current project status:Work over the last quarter has primarily been focused on bug fixes and minor improvements. Planning for a 2.1.0 release will begin shortly in order to determine what fixes and features will be required. Issues for the board: none. ## Membership Data: Apache Knox was founded 2014-02-18 (10 years ago) There are currently 24 committers and 20 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Marton Balázs on 2022-11-27. - No new committers. Last addition was Marton Balázs on 2022-11-28. ## Project Activity: A milestone release of 2.0.0 was released in 2/2023. We will begin planning for a 2.1.0 release shortly. This release will be comprised of bug and security fixes and potentially new features which will be discussed in email and possibly via KIP wiki pages for one-pager design documents. ## Community Health: The following metrics reflect the status of a mature project within a period of bug fixes and minor improvements. It will pickup with the planning and execution of a 2.1.0 release as we determine the larger features to include. 38 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-2% change) 31 issues closed in JIRA,past quarter (-6% change) 32 commits in the past quarter (18% increase) 4 code contributors in the past quarter (-42% change) 35 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (29% increase) 32 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (45% increase)
## Description: The mission of Knox is the creation and maintenance of software related to Simplify and normalize the deployment and implementation of secure Hadoop clusters ## Project Status: Current project status: Project status is currently good. We will likely begin discussion for a 2.1.0 release soon. This project is in an ongoing state with moderate activity with the majority of the activity on mailing lists being from PR and github integration for reviews, commentary and commits. Issues for the board: none ## Membership Data: Apache Knox was founded 2014-02-18 (9 years ago) There are currently 24 committers and 20 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Marton Balázs on 2022-11-27. - No new committers. Last addition was Marton Balázs on 2022-11-28. ## Project Activity: 2.0.0 was released on 2023-02-27 - this was a milestone release with multiple new features and a transition to log4j 2.x. We continue to work towards our goals for SSO and API authentication and federation interactions for the big data ecosystem. ## Community Health: dev@knox.apache.org had a 5% increase in traffic in the past quarter (333 emails compared to 316) user@knox.apache.org had a 92% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (1 emails compared to 12) 39 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (44% increase) 33 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (73% increase) 27 commits in the past quarter (12% increase) 7 code contributors in the past quarter (40% increase) 27 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (8% increase) 22 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (22% increase) The increase in dev is related to github integration with PRs and with dependabot related dependency upgrades while the decrease on the user list is not a significant change given that it is normally low. We continue to see additional contributors and interest in the project through github and are tracking the opening and closing of JIRAs in a healthy manner.

Last addition was Marton Balázs on 2022-11-28. ## Project Activity: 2.0.0 was released on 2023-02-27 This release introduced some changes due to the upgrade of log4j and related compatibility issues. It also introduced our WebShell feature that allows for terminal access from the browser via the Knox homepage. The project continues to be healthy and planning for the next release and related features will start shortly. ## Community Health: dev@knox.apache.org had a 61% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (315 emails compared to 797) user@knox.apache.org had a 500% increase in traffic in the past quarter (12 emails compared to 2) 27 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-37% change) 19 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-53% change) 24 commits in the past quarter (-70% change) 5 code contributors in the past quarter (-50% change) 25 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-59% change) 18 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-77% change) The prior quarter's metrics are higher due to the activity for the 2.0.0 release that landed 2023-02-27. Much of the dev@ list email traffic is PR related and the decrease there is also related to the previous quarter's activity for 2.0.0.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - Marton Balázs was added to the PMC on 2022-11-27 - Marton Balázs was added as committer on 2022-11-28 ## Project Activity: The project has an active VOTE for a milestone 2.0.0 release. We are currently voting on RC1 though it seems we likely need an RC2 in order to fix some issues found during testing. This is a first release for PMC Member, Phil Zampino, as the Release Manager. Engagement from the community seems stable and ongoing. ## Community Health: dev@knox.apache.org had a 29% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (544 emails compared to 759) user@knox.apache.org had a 56% increase in traffic in the past quarter (25 emails compared to 16) 39 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-25% change) 39 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-15% change) 73 commits in the past quarter (23% increase) 10 code contributors in the past quarter (66% increase) 57 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (5% increase) 79 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (125% increase) Increases in number of contributors, PRs opened and closed show the projects engagement with the community as stable while the large increase in closed PRs speaks to the large number of CVE issues with dependencies being resolved. Many of which are coming from dependabot.
## Description: The mission of Knox is the creation and maintenance of software related to Simplify and normalize the deployment and implementation of secure Hadoop clusters ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Knox was founded 2014-02-18 (9 years ago) There are currently 23 committers and 19 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. We have had numerous contributions from a community member that we will start discussion around making a committer within the next few days. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Attila Magyar on 2021-12-12. - No new committers. Last addition was Attila Magyar on 2021-12-13. ## Project Activity: The Knox community has begun talking about a 2.0.0 release for November. Since there are a couple incompatible changes due to Log4J migration, a major release seems appropriate. Knox 2.0.0 will also include a WebShell feature that allows an interactive terminal shell from a browser for access to resources within the cluster for cli, logs, etc. ## Community Health: It seems some dev traffic has lessened but that is likely due to fewer jenkins build failure emails. 50 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (13% increase) 35 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-20% change) Dependabot likely increasing the PRs here with automated creation of PRs for dependencies with CVEs. Overall, the project is pretty mature but still adding large features, maintaining healthy dependency hygiene and moving toward a new release.

Last addition was Attila Magyar on 2021-12-13. ## Project Activity: 1.6.1 was release in January to address a couple security related issues. A new branch was created for a 2.0.0 release where the migration to log4j 2.x is planned. See KNOX-1462. We have had a number of new community members contribute patches recently and look forward to addition contributions from them! We continue to discuss new features on the email lists and have determined that a KIP one-pager should be written to propose a feature to enable Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE) as part of KnoxSSO. This will likely target the 2.0.0 or maybe a 2.0.1 release. We will begin to discuss timing and content for a 1.6.2 release in coming days. ## Community Health: Community health related metrics are showing a bit of an uptick in mailing list traffic and closed PRs. We have committed a couple contributions from new community members. New feature development should drive these metrics and renewed community interest as we look toward emerging identity related features and usecases.

Last addition was Attila Magyar on 2021-12-13. ## Project Activity: 1.6.1 was released on 2022/01/12 This was a security patch release with fixes related to log4j and a minor url parsing error. We have plans to move to log4j 2.x line and an Apache Knox 2.0.0 release due to the incompatibility that refactoring presents. We will continue to maintain the 1.6.x line with security and bug fixes as appropriate. ## Community Health: The community interactions continue to reflect a mature project and fewer features rather than small improvements and fixes. We will be pursuing interesting new SSO services and cloud native usecases in coming releases which should increase traffic and community involvement. We also have a feature that still requires additional security review and scrutiny in a feature branch. dev@knox.apache.org had a 29% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (544 emails compared to 759) user@knox.apache.org had a 56% increase in traffic in the past quarter (25 emails compared to 16) 40 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (166% increase) 40 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (135% increase) 35 commits in the past quarter (-53% change) 10 code contributors in the past quarter (66% increase) 40 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (122% increase) 31 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (6% increase)

Community changes, past quarter: - Attila Magyar was added to the PMC on 2021-12-12 - Attila Magyar was added as committer on 2021-12-13 ## Project Activity: Apache Knox 1.6.1 was released 01/12/2022. This release contained a fix for a security vulnerability reported through the Apache Security list. Prior to that 1.6.0 was released 11/04/2021. We have branched for a 2.0.0 line in order to switch to log4j-2.x and accommodate the necessary backward incompatible changes on a new release line. This migration is still in discussion given recent issues. We have also created a feature that is targeted to be merged to the 2.0.0 line upon full review of a new large feature that requires detailed security review. We have continued our use of KIP one-pagers for new features and design discussions which work well. ## Community Health: The following metrics more than likely represent a decrease in activity around the holiday season more than anything else. A new committer/PMC member was added this quarter. dev@knox.apache.org had a 29% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (544 emails compared to 759) user@knox.apache.org had a 56% increase in traffic in the past quarter (25 emails compared to 16) 15 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-69% change) 17 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-66% change) 75 commits in the past quarter (78% increase) 6 code contributors in the past quarter (-33% change) 18 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-50% change) 28 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-20% change)

Last addition was Sandor Molnar on 2019-11-21. ## Project Activity: Apache Knox 1.6.0 was released on 11/04/2021 after a discussion on dev list to likely make this the last 1.x.0 release. We will be targeting a 2.0 release with some non-backward compatible changes including an upgrade of log4j. We are also tracking a community contributor as an emerging committer/PMC member. In fact, his contribution to log4j upgrade is part of the plan for 2.0. ## Community Health: dev@knox.apache.org had a 64% increase in traffic in the past quarter (835 emails compared to 507) user@knox.apache.org had a 1700% increase in traffic in the past quarter (36 emails compared to 2) 47 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (23% increase) 51 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (50% increase) 34 commits in the past quarter (9% increase) 8 code contributors in the past quarter (33% increase) 34 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (no change) 34 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (9% increase) The above increases in activity reflect the work around getting the 1.6.0 release out and the seemingly mature state of the project in terms of new features. 2.0 will hopefully concentrate more on cloud specific features which will introduce some new innovation and types of features.
## Description: The mission of Knox is the creation and maintenance of software related to Simplify and normalize the deployment and implementation of secure Hadoop clusters ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Knox was founded 2014-02-18 (7 years ago) There are currently 22 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Sandor Molnar on 2019-11-20. - No new committers. Last addition was Sandor Molnar on 2019-11-21. ## Project Activity: Interesting feature in development will provide a browser based access to a secure shell. This will allow for the use of KnoxSSO to establish a terminal session on the host running Apache Knox. This is a desirable feature for cloud scenarios. This feature is still in development and is being contributed by a new community member. Other notable features are centered around the use of KnoxTokens (JWT and Passcode) rather than username and passwords. Like the work for secure shell access, KnoxSSO is used to access a facility to generate and manage user specific tokens. These tokens may then be used as bearer tokens or as a password for clients that only accommodate HTTP Basic authentication. Again, these features are desirable in cloud deployments where the potential of having to manage separate username and password credentials from enterprise credentials is not desirable. We need to start discussion for a new release to rollout some subset of the above features in the coming weeks. ## Community Health: While the project has started to mature and slow on release cycles, we have managed to attract contributions from new community members. We are entering a new phase of the project's lifecycle with a focus on cloud deployment scenarios, enabling token based authentication for the services that we proxy and serve. This will likely result in more activity in coming quarters, especially once the next release ships. Some of the decrease in traffic on the email lists is due to less spam from infra issues with jenkins job failures, etc. Filed JIRAs and PRs seem to be tracking and getting resolved well. dev@knox.apache.org had a 28% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (564 emails compared to 783) user@knox.apache.org had a 43% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (4 emails compared to 7) 36 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-46% change) 32 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-27% change) 30 commits in the past quarter (-28% change) 7 code contributors in the past quarter (-22% change) 32 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-30% change) 30 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-31% change)
## Description: The mission of Apache Knox is the creation and maintenance of software related to simplifying and normalizing the deployment and implementation of secure Hadoop clusters. Knox accomplishes this through a combination of an HTTP gateway for proxying Hadoop and its ecosystem resources, SSO capabilities for UI access and support for token exchange patterns for integration usecases. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Knox was founded 2014-02-18 (7 years ago) There are currently 22 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Sandor Molnar on 2019-11-20. - No new committers. Last addition was Sandor Molnar on 2019-11-21. ## Project Activity: 1.5.0 was released 2020-12-06 It is likely that a 1.5.1 release for a regression in OpenID Connect support will be spun soon, if not a 1.6.0. Community reporting of both the regression and the solution was contributed via JIRA. A large portion of the focus in the project over the last quarter has been on the creation of a UI for acquiring tokens for integration usecases with both JWT and new access tokens called Passcode tokens. ## Community Health: dev@knox.apache.org had a 17% increase in traffic in the past quarter (805 emails compared to 687) user@knox.apache.org had a 62% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (7 emails compared to 18) 27 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (metrics report incorrect) 24 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (metrics report incorrect) 42 commits in the past quarter (-27% change) 9 code contributors in the past quarter (no change) 46 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (170% increase) 44 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (144% increase) While Apache Knox seems to be reaching a level of maturity, it is still healthy in terms of community contribution and feature improvements.

Last addition was Sandor Molnar on 2019-11-21. ## Project Activity: - Readying for the Apache Knox 1.5.0 release has begun and is targeting an end of Nov release date. This will largely be a maintenance release with a handful of features. - We are introducing a new Homepage for Knox that can serve as a general homepage or portal of your Hadoop deployment. ## Community Health Metrics are lower again this quarter as team work conditions amid COVID and other priorities are affecting engagement. At the same time, the project seems to have matured to where new features are fewer. More innovation seems to be possible in the near future as more cloud specific features seem likely. dev@knox.apache.org had a 50% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (355 emails compared to 704) 33 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-47% decrease) 30 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-44% decrease) 29 commits in the past quarter (-38% decrease) 8 code contributors in the past quarter (-11% decrease) 14 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-56% decrease) 14 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-56% decrease)
## Description: The mission of Knox is the creation and maintenance of software related to Simplify and normalize the deployment and implementation of secure Hadoop clusters ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Knox was founded 2014-02-18 (6 years ago) There are currently 22 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Sandor Molnar on 2019-11-20. - No new committers. Last addition was Sandor Molnar on 2019-11-21. ## Project Activity: * 1.4.0 was released on 2020-04-26 * Focus was on the KnoxShell client functionality with features for the interactive shell that enable JDBC and HTTP/REST access to tabular data through Knox - presenting it in a dataframe like object for continued manipulation and aggregation. ## Community Health: I believe decrease in email list traffic and other metrics are due to a number of root causes. While it has been considerably less than last quarter, the fact that the last release introduced a brand new area of concentration inflated the amount of bootstrapping issues, commits and related emails. A large number of dependency upgrades and other hygiene related work was done for the last release as well. This quarter has not had a release focus though we likely have a enough bug fixes for a maintenance release. The planning for the next feature bearing release will begin shortly - with continued focus on cloud and client interactions with cloud deployments from KnoxShell.
## Description: - The Apache Knox Gateway is a REST API Gateway for interacting with Apache Hadoop clusters. The Knox Gateway provides a single access point for all REST/HTTP interactions with Apache Hadoop clusters. - The mission of Knox is the creation and maintenance of software related to simplify and normalize the deployment and implementation of secure Hadoop clusters. ## Issues: - there are no issues requiring board attention at this time ## Membership Data: Apache Knox was founded 2014-02-18 (6 years ago) There are currently 22 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Sandor Molnar on 2019-11-20. - No new committers.

We have received contributions from new contributors with varying sizes and level of impact. Pull requests are a relatively new mechanism for the Knox community which explains the large increase over previous quarters. The large increase in email traffic on the dev list is likely a result of additional traffic from github PR activity and commits. - dev@knox.apache.org had a 72% increase in traffic in the past quarter (2117 emails compared to 1229) - user@knox.apache.org had a 125% increase in traffic in the past quarter (36 emails compared to 16) - 135 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (8% increase) - 141 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (22% increase) - 147 commits in the past quarter (24% increase) - 22 code contributors in the past quarter (22% increase) - 62 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (44% increase) - 61 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (52% increase)
## Description: - The Apache Knox Gateway is a REST API Gateway for interacting with Apache Hadoop clusters. The Knox Gateway provides a single access point for all REST/HTTP interactions with Apache Hadoop clusters. - The mission of Knox is the creation and maintenance of software related to simplify and normalize the deployment and implementation of secure Hadoop clusters. ## Issues: - there are no issues requiring board attention at this time ## Membership Data: Apache Knox was founded 2014-02-18 (5 years ago) There are currently 21 committers and 17 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Kevin Risden on 2018-04-02. - No new committers. Last addition was Kevin Risden on 2018-04-03. ## Project Activity: - Apache Knox 1.3.0 was released in July with over 200 fixes, upgrades and improvements. - Planning for the 1.4.0 release will begin with the backlock of JIRAs and discussion around cloud usecases. ## Community Health: - activity on the JIRAs and commits appear to continue to grow and seem rather healthy. Email list traffic seems to be trending down however I believe this to be due to much fewer infra related test failures that artificially inflated those numbers previously. Community Health Score 4.7
## Description:
- The Apache Knox Gateway is an HTTP/REST API Gateway for interacting with
Apache Hadoop clusters. The Knox Gateway provides a single access point for
all REST/HTTP interactions with Apache Hadoop clusters.
## Issues:
- there are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- Knox continues to leverage the KIP approach to communicate designs and
proposals but has also integrated Github Pull Requests. The 1.3.0 release
was proposed as mid April and we will start the close down in the next week
or so.
- There are a number of new contributors that are emerging as possible
committer/PMC candidates and we will consider invitations over the next
quarter or so.
## Health report:
- Mail and commits continue to be at a good level. There were previously
inflated email counts due to jenkins job failures as indicated in previous
reports. These seem to be fewer - presumably due to the use of PRs instead
of patches on JIRA.

- In July Apache Knox 1.1.0 was released. This marked the largest release so
far in terms of resolved JIRAs at around 175.
- We identified cloud usecases as an important feature set via our KIP-11
wiki one pager. Though we have had to defer much of this to later releases
due to concentration on other useability and management features.
- We have identified the need for a quick 1.2.0 release to focus on some
previously planned cloud usecases as well as a few from the community that
were discussed during 1.1.0 release close down.

## Issues:
- None
## Activity:
- In February Apache Knox 1.0.0 was released. While Knox has been maintaining
backward compatibility and a commitment to previous releases for the community
for some time, we did need to repackage our classes to remove the name 'hadoop'.
In order to ensure compatibility, we also released an 0.14.0 version with the old
package names as well.
- In April we added a new committer and PMC member.
- We identified cloud usecases as an important feature set via our KIP-11 wiki
one pager.
- We are in the process of closing down on our 1.1.0 release and target its release
within the next couple weeks.

## Description:
- The Apache Knox Gateway is an Application Gateway for interacting with the
REST APIs and UIs of Apache Hadoop deployments. The Knox Gateway provides a
single access point for all REST and HTTP interactions with Apache Hadoop
clusters. Knox delivers three groups of user facing services: Proxying,
Authentication and Client Services
## Issues:
- there are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- The Apache Knox team completed the release of Apache Knox 0.14.0 and
followed up with our 1.0.0 release which was largely the same as 0.14.0 but
it included a repackaging of all of our class package names to remove
"hadoop" from the name. This allows downstream consumers to take on new
features in 0.14.0 without being forced to move to new package names in case
of incompatibilities. We have a backlog of JIRAs for 1.1.0 but will also
begin our feature planning through the use of KIP-# wiki pages to identify
larger features and themes for the release.
## Health report:
- We have continued to use the KIP-# pages to drive the primary focus of each
release and feel it is working well. The 0.14.0 release was primarily
focused on the addition of the service discovery and simplified descriptors
(KIP-8) to improve and simplify management of topologies. It also includes
many improvements and bug fixes. It took a bit longer than anticipated due to
issues found during the VOTE with community testing. The Dec 14 2017 release
date allowed for the primary focus for 0.14.0 to be more rounded out and a
better quality release to roll into our 1.0.0 milestone in early Feb 2018.
- Community contributions continue to show growth and growing interest and is
encouraging.

REST/HTTP interactions with Apache Hadoop clusters.
## Issues
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity
The Apache Knox team is in the process of an active VOTE for our 0.13.0 release.
While we were going to also try and make this our 1.0.0 release there were a
couple reasons to delay this milestone. We discovered a couple issues
that required a good bit of investigation and will require rigorous testing from
the community before they can be considered properly complete and ready. We also
took a good bit of time to try and pull in contributions from the community that
many users have been looking for. Most notably in the service definitions for proxying UIs.
## Health report:
We have continued to use the KIP-# pages to drive the primary focus of each
release and feel it is working well. The 0.13.0 release was primarily
focused on the addition of the port-mapping feature and extending UI proxying
capabilities. It also fixes a number of bugs.
The current level of collaboration is healthy and encouraging within the
community on both mailing lists and JIRAs.
## Releases
- Last release was 0.12.0: 2017-03-20 Added support for new APIs and UIs, KnoxToken API,
release module for KnoxShell, and fixed a number of bugs - through

The 0.12.0 release was primarily focused on the client library and programming model for consuming REST APIs through Knox. There had been an increasing uptake of this library and it had become clear that it needed to mature. We have begun discussing what needs to land in 0.13.0 and what the strategy is for a 1.0.0 release in this timeframe.

We have continued to use the KIP-# pages to drive the primary focus of each release and feel it is working well. The 0.12.0 release is primarily focused on the client library and programming model for consuming REST APIs through Knox. There has been an increasing uptake of this library and it has become clear that it needed to mature.

The Knox Gateway provides a single access point for all REST/HTTP interactions with Apache Hadoop clusters. # Issues None # Status The Apache Knox team has just wrapped up the 0.10.0 release with a number of contributions from the community. We missed our target for the release by over a month. This was due to activity in the community, discussion in how to go about testing certain contributions to determine whether goals were actually met, etc. We've begun using wiki as a means to describe Knox Improvement Proposals (KIPs). These are "one-pagers" that capture a particular vision for improvement in certain areas. They should help illustrate the roadmap for the related feature areas and map those visions to JIRAs. This helps give focus to the releases and should also help contributors see how active JIRAs map into the roadmap and vision. # Releases * 0.10.0: 2016-11-07 Added PAM support, LDAP paging, Websocket support and fixed a number of bugs - through ~25 commits. # Development Activity * Community is discussing the planning of the 0.11.0 release which will continue to use the KIPs to drive the release themes * Jira: 776 total, +23 -15 (last 30 days) * Git (Source): 15 commits over last 30 days * SVN (Site & Docs): 8 commits over last 30 days # Community Activity ## Membership Changes * Change PMC chair from Kevin Minder (kminder) to Larry McCay (lmccay).

I believe this was a beneficial discussion. # Status * We did two releases this quarter which is a first. * More importantly the 0.8.0 release is the first hilighting a non-committer contributed feature as its primary release driver. * The 0.7.0 release also however did include a significantly increased amount of non-committer contributed content over prior releases. * Starting work for a 0.9.0 release.

It's already done a release. I'm not sure why they haven't started discussing graduation but I would support such a move. There seems to be a few security oriented software named Knox. There may be a naming problem here, unless the product was consistently named Knox Gateway and not Knox; just my opinion.
