## Description Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among multiple cloud provider APIs. ## Project Status Current project status: mostly dormant in the past couple of months. ## Project Activity In the past months we have merged a couple of PRs on Github. We plan to release a new version (v3.9.0) some time in the next couple of months. Last release was v3.8.0 in August, 2023. Last time we performed a roll call was at the end of last year. There were 3 other PMC members which responded to be able to provide minimum oversight required per ASF requirements. We are also doing the bare minimum and keeping dependencies up to date (project has very little direct aka not testing / dev / linting dependencies). ## Community Health Per my comment above and in the past report, we did receive some contributions, but we are lacking maintainers (committers / PMC members) who would be willing to review the community PRs. ## Membership Data Apache Libcloud was founded 2011-05-19 (12 years ago) There are currently 24 committers and 16 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Dimitris Moraitis on 2021-05-07. - No new committers. Last addition was Dimitris Moraitis on 2021-05-02.

## Description Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among multiple cloud provider APIs. ## Project Status There was a lack of activity in the past so the board has started a roll call. The board call was initially missed since it went to spam, but that was resolved later on. We had a total of three people (PMC members) responding to the roll call (https://lists.apache.org/thread/0191sz3nomyvd6yw2sf0ns09mohq1f9w): - Eric Johnson - Anthonuy Shaw - Tomaz Muraus (myself) In theory this means we have enough active people to perform the minimum duties which are required to keep the project viable and active. In addition to Eric and Anthony we usually also have Jerry Chen, another PMC member, participating in the release testing and voting. ## Project Activity Project activity over the last couple of months has remained stable. Last stable release (v3.8.0) was released in August and we are expecting to release v3.9.0 some time in the next couple of months. ## Community Health Over the past couple of months we have received a small amount of external contributions. ## Membership Data Apache Libcloud was founded 2011-05-19 (12 years ago) There are currently 24 committers and 16 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Dimitris Moraitis on 2021-05-07. - No new committers. Last addition was Dimitris Moraitis on 2021-05-02.
## Description Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among multiple cloud provider APIs. ## Project Status Current project status: active Issues for the board: lackof maintainers to review upstream PRs On the board issues part, I just want to echo what I already mentioned below - we never had issues with reaching a PMC consensus (at least 3 +1 binding votes) for a release or or another decision which requires a PMC vote, but we have always struggled with having enough code reviewers. We also always handled security issues in a timely manner. > Is Libcloud still active enough to sustain itself as a project? I see there was some good energy at the start of this year and a new PMC member, but besides Tomaž work recently feels very quiet. As far as board comment from Shane Curcuru goes, I would say yes, but it's definitely not great that project mostly relies on a single person reviewing PRs. ## Project Activity I was inactive for the past ~5 months (move and a personal situation). I want to apologize for missing the last 2 board reports. During that time, the project has received some contributions on Github (https://s.apache.org/h4y97), but there was no one to review them. There was also one large and a long time coming PR where a community member cleaned up and removed drivers for a lot (~18) of providers which are not active anymore (the provider went out of business or similar). I'm now back and catching up and plan to a release in the near future since a lot of changes have accumulated since the last release in January 2023. ## Community Health Per my comment above, we did have some contributions, but we are lacking maintainers (committers / PMC members) who would be willing to review the community PRs (so that is mostly done by myself). Download / usage stats show that people are still using the library - https://s.apache.org/k7tug As discussed in the past, Libcloud is in a bit unique situation due to the "driver oriented" nature of the project (similar to Apache jclouds which had similar struggles). It's hard to attract committers / maintainers who would be willing to review changes which apply to the driver they are not directly interested or invested in or to the code changes which apply to the broader project. ## Membership Data Apache Libcloud was founded 2011-05-19 (12 years ago) There are currently 24 committers and 16 PMC members in this project.

## Description: The mission of Libcloud is the creation and maintenance of software related to Unified interface to the cloud ## Issues: There are no issues which require board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Libcloud was founded 2011-05-19 (10 years ago) There are currently 24 committers and 16 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Dimitris Moraitis on 2021-05-07. - No new committers. Last addition was Dimitris Moraitis on 2021-05-02. ## Project Activity: I just reported last month (18th of January, 2023) so I will just briefly list some of the changes / activity since the last report: 1. We have voted a new member (Veith) to join our PMC. We are still waiting on him to accept the invite. 2. We are working on v3.8.0 release which should be out some time in the next 1-2 months. 3. We have received a nice contribution from the community which cleans up the code and removes provider drivers for providers which are either dead or not offering cloud services anymore. There are many of those and removing dead code is always great since it means less code to maintain. ## Community Health: Since the last report a couple of weeks ago, there were a couple of new contributions (PRs) on Github.
## Description: The mission of Libcloud is the creation and maintenance of software related to Unified interface to the cloud ## Issues: There are no issues which require board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Libcloud was founded 2011-05-19 (10 years ago) There are currently 24 committers and 16 PMC members in this project.

Last addition was Dimitris Moraitis on 2021-05-02. ## Project Activity: Activity on Github continues to be OK. Libcloud v3.6.1 has been released in October 2022 and Libcloud v3.7.0 on January 8th, 2023. As part of the last few major releases (v3.6.0, v3.7.0) we have tried to align ourselves better with other popular Python projects so we have dropped support for Python versions which have been EOL for a year or more now (Python 3.6, Python 3.7). We also continue to update our code and packaging metadata to support latest Python versions. We now have a CI running against Python 3.11 which has been released recently and offers nice performance improvements in a lot of situations. Very likely Libcloud users should also benefit from some of those optimizations since the library is pure Python. ## Community Health: Most of the activity happens on Github. Since the last report (August 2022), we have received 15 pull requests and (https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pulls) 18 issues have been opened (https://github.com/apache/libcloud/issues). In early January 2023, a voting thread has been started for a new committer and a PMC member. We are hoping we will have a new person join our project in the near future once the vote closes. As part of the recent Twitter related developments, we are also looking into moving project updates and news from Twitter to another network such as Mastodon. P.S. I apologize for missing reporting in December, 2022 - I was on the road traveling.

@Danny: pursue a report for Libcloud
## Description:
Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among
multiple cloud provider APIs.
## Issues:
There are no issues which require board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Since the last report we added one new committer (Clemens Wolff) and started
a voting thread for another one.
We are also working on a new release which should be out some time in the next
month.
External contributor activity is similar as in the past and we still receive
a good amount of contributions.
To decrease the barrier to entry and contribution for committers and
external contributions, we decided to move the whole development workflow to
Github.
This means committers can now directly merge user contributions on Github and
we also utilize Github issues for issue tracking and project management.
## Answers to board questions / feedback added to the previous report
1. jj: Concerned that it seems like there is insufficient critical mass
in the PMC to handle what looks to be a goodly amount of
external interest
Yes, we had some committer activity issues.
As mentioned in the past, Libcloud utilizes adapter / plugin pattern which
means that even if we have some active committers they might not be an expert
in driver for some specific provider so they can't always effectively review
the code changes / troubleshoot the bug / similar.
2. druggeri: Agreed with Jim. I would encourage addition to the PMC and
committer pools even if those individuals are only
interested in one area of the codebase.
Agreed, we are working on that.
3. rb: Am I correctly understanding that you don't extend committer
rights to people who only care about one driver? If so, I'd
encourage you to rethink that policy, as those people are as
much in ownership of the project as those who care about more
than one aspect.
We do extend committer rights to people who only care about a single driver /
provider. In fact, a big chunk of our current committer base primarily works
and is interested in a single provider.

## Description: Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among multiple cloud provider APIs. ## Issues: There are no issues which require board attention at this time. ## Activity: We still receive a good amount of contributions on Github and JIRA, but overall the activity has dropped. That's mostly due to lack of active committers / PMC who would have time to review contributions and guide and help contributors. We are trying to recruit more committers / reviewers, but it's not easy due to the nature of the project (driver / plugin model where most people only care about a very small part of a project - e.g. either a single driver or a particular change in the driver they are interested in). ## PMC changes: - Currently 13 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months ## Committer base changes: - Currently 21 committers. - Rick van de Loo was added as a committer on Tue Jun 26 2018 ## Releases: - 2.4.0 was released on Thu Nov 08 2018 - 2.3.0 was released on March 03, 2018 - 2.2.1 was released on September 21, 2017
## Description: Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among multiple cloud provider APIs. ## Issues: There are no issues which require board attention at this time. ## Activity: Similar to the last report, activity has dropped (mostly on the committer / reviewer side), but we have still received decent amount of contributions from various users. We are trying to recruit more committers / reviewers, but it's not easy due to the nature of the project (driver / plugin model where most people only care about a very small part of a project - e.g. either a single driver or a particular change in the driver they are interested in). ## PMC changes: Quentin Pradet who has joined us as a last PMC member has decided to go emeritus. We have explained to him that it's totally fine to become inactive and there is no need for him to go emeritus because it doesn't affect our project and things such as voting quorum in any negative way. In fact, that's what a lot of people do over a life time of a project - life and priorities change, etc., people move on. We also explained to him that as an inactive PMC members he has no obligations in any form to the project, but he said he would still prefer to go emeritus because it will allow him to more easily move on to different projects. We would also like to thank him for his excellent work and contributions to the project. - Currently 14 PMC members. - Quentin Pradet was added to the PMC on Mon May 14 2018 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 21 committers. - Rick van de Loo was added as a committer on Tue Jun 26 2018 ## Releases: - 2.4.0 was released on Thu Nov 08 2018 - 2.3.0 was released on March 03, 2018 - 2.2.1 was released on September 21, 2017

Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among multiple cloud provider APIs. Issues We have a lot of user and contributor activity (a lot of one time patches), but we had some problems with reaching voting quorums in the past. We eventually reached it, but it took longer that we would have liked. The main problem / root cause is lack of activity from some PMC members (we currently have around 3-4 PMC members which are active and cast votes on regular basis). To mitigate this, we have just recently invited some active contributors to join us as committers and PMC members. We hope this will make reaching voting quorums in the future easier.

Resolution 7A was approved unanimously by roll call vote.
Libcloud is a unified interface into various cloud service providers, written in Python. Libcloud joined the Incubator on 3 November 2009. During this month we have addressed all of the open graduation issues and started a TLP voting thread on the incubator mailing list. Community --------- The Libcloud community continues to grow at a nice steady pace. In the past few months we have received multiple community contributions, some of them are listed bellow: - compute driver for Gandi.net - compute driver for Bluebox.net - compute driver for the OpSource cloud - compute driver for OpenStack (not merged yet, still working with the original author on polishing it and resolving some open issues) - libvirt proof-of-concept compute driver (not merged yet, still debating on how we can fit it into our project) During this month (May) we have also agreed upon a new chair (Tomaz Muraus). To make our website more easy to update and more relevant to the users we have ported it to the Apache CMS and added two new sections - "Community resources" and "Contributing". Some of the Libcloud developers have also been present at PyCon in Atlanta in March where we have held a sprint. As part of our ongoing effort to engage the community and inspire new contributors, one of the committers will give a talk about Libcloud at EuroPython 2011 in Italy where we will also held a sprint. Releases -------- The last stable release of Libcloud is 0.4.2 which was released on January 17th. We are currently working towards 0.5.0 which is considered as a big milestone, because it will include many new features, fixes and improvements: - new Storage API - new Load-balancer API - new compute drivers - fixes in the existing compute drivers - increased test coverage This version is planned to be released before the end of May.
Libcloud is a unified interface into various cloud service providers, written in Python. Libcloud joined the Incubator on 3 November 2009. Our last major release was 0.4.2 on 12 January 2011. Since the last release, we have seen: * New drivers for CloudSigma, Brightbox, Rackspace UK * Improvements to deployment capabilities * libcloud.security module for SSL certificate verification To engage the community, we have updated the website, renewed our presence on Twitter, have been actively responding to JIRA and Github bug reports, and continue to hold discussions to the mailing lists. We will look to graduatation soon after releasing our next major version, 0.5.0, which will introduce a Storage component of the API, and reorganize the existing codebase as Computer. Furthermore, we continue to work on diversifying and sharing the release management process, which we accomplished with a new release manager for 0.4.2.
Libcloud is a unified interface into various cloud service providers, written in Python. Libcloud joined the Incubator on November 3rd, 2009. Our last major release was 0.4.0 on 12 October 2010. Over the past few months we have accomplished: * Code cleanup, including removing Zope dependencies * New driver for !ElasticHosts * Bug fixes and improvements for GoGrid, EC2, Linode, Slicehost, and RimuHosting. * Sandbox creation, hosting the Java version Documentation is still currently lacking, and a refresh of the website is in order. Both will facilitate new driver contributions and project adoption. With the introduction of a Java counterpart of Libcloud, many questions arise on the direction of the project as a whole. Initially, library and API development were one in the same in Python, but with interest in other languages (Java, Ruby, etc), we need to determine how to best establish standards so to provide some sort of consistency between languages. The direction and formation of a polyglot Libcloud will likely be the final hurdle before graduation.
Libcloud is a unified interface into various cloud service providers, written in python. Libcloud joined the Incubator on November 3rd, 2009. LibCloud are pleased to have added two more committers to the project in Eric Woods and Roman Bogorodskiy - welcome to you both. Since the last report LibCloud codebase has been moving along nicely, with the introduction of a Java codebase, many issues resolved from the issue tracker and working towards an imminent 0.40 release. Many new features are being discussed and implemented and existing drivers are being well maintained. There is healthy discussions happening on the development mailing lists and the diverse developers are working well together. Overall the project is doing well. (Mentors Note: LibCloud as a project is going along nicely on its own, this quarter although I watch the lists, yet again as a non-coding mentor I find I have had nothing to do. However this next quarter I fully expect to see about helping to move the project towards graduating by the end of the next quarter if not sooner.)
Libcloud is a unified interface into various cloud service providers, written in python. Libcloud joined the Incubator on November 3rd, 2009. We're on the cusp of pushing 0.3.2 out the door, with our last release 0.3.1 on 10 May 2010. Over the past few months we have: * Added driver support for new providers: Dreamhost, Eucalyptus, Enomaly ECP, IBM Developer Cloud, and SoftLayer * Improved multi-threaded handling in Rackspace and RimuHosting * Created deployment and bootstrap API * Expanded test coverage * Augment documentation We look forward to further improving documentation and lowering the barrier to entry with tutorials and a guide for writing drivers. We will continue to add providers and keep the library updated with providers' changes. = Lucene Connector Framework = Description: Lucene Connectors Framework is an incremental crawler framework and set of connectors designed to pull documents from various kinds of repositories into search engine indexes or other targets. The current bevy of connectors includes Documentum (EMC), FileNet (IBM), LiveLink (OpenText), Patriarch (Memex), Meridio (Autonomy), SharePoint (Microsoft), RSS feeds, and web content. Lucene Connectors Framework also provides components for individual document security within a target search engine, so that repository security access conventions can be enforced in the search results. Lucene Connectors Framework has been in incubation since January, 2010. A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. End-user documentation conversion to usable form needs to be completed; this is probably the biggest obstacle to developing a broader community at this point 2. Javadoc and nightly builds need to be set up 3. The first official release needs to be planned and executed Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? We'd like to know whether there is any official Apache position on inclusion of NTLM implementations in ASF projects, since we've gotten mixed signals on this from other developers. This represents a crucial piece of functionality needed to support LiveLink, Meridio, SharePoint, RSS, and Web connectors properly. How has the community developed since the last report? There's been a significant amount of discussion pertaining to the LCF document security model, it's advantages and disadvantages. Offers of assistance and advice abound. A non-Apache code submission has even been made. How has the project developed since the last report? Preliminary security integration with Solr has been tackled. Online end-user documentation is coming along and is perhaps 60% complete. Scripts have been written to make using LCF easier for the less experienced integrator.
Libcloud is a unified interface into various cloud service providers, written in python. Libcloud joined the Incubator on November 3rd, 2009. Lots done this month. Plenty of activity on the main dev list, more drivers support added, more fixes tweaks and unit test cases added. RAT reports Libcloud as having 0 bad license headers. The Libcloud community and the Incubator IPMC are currently voting on their first incubator release 0.20. == Lucene Connector Framework == The Lucene Connectors Framework (LCF) is an effort to build and support an open source framework for connecting to content repositories like Microsoft Sharepoint and EMC Documentum, amongst others via a single API. * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation. 1. Process initial code grant and incorporate into SVN 2. Do a release 3. Build out a diverse community. We have a diverse set of committers already. * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of We'd appreciate any contacts anyone has with Microsoft Sharepoint * How has the community developed since the last report N/A: First report. * How has the project developed since the last report.

Libcloud is a unified interface into various cloud service providers, written in python. Libcloud joined the Incubator on November 3rd, 2009. Migration of infra services complete. Mailing list activity in this early period has been good. More accounts were requested and have been processed. A few Jira issues have been created and some early commits are happening. The project API docs are being built and hosted on the ASF Buildbot, and it runs RAT for us. There was a meetup in early December and by all accounts it went rather well with a good turnout. New contributors are appearing and showing interest by interacting on the mailing lists and providing patches. Informal talk goes on in the #libcloud IRC channel. Work is underway to interface with more external vendors. Libcloud is continuing to progress towards a release.
Libcloud is a unified interface into various cloud service providers, written in python. Libcloud joined the Incubator on November 3rd, 2009. Most of our activity since joining the incubator has been around migrating our existing code and community to the ASF. * All but one developer account has been created. * All iCLAs from pre-existing contributors have been submitted. * libcloud git repo has been migrated to ASF SVN. * libcloud mailing list has been migrated to ASF. * We are holding a libcloud meetup/dinner in San Francisco on Thursday, December 10th. See the mailing list if you are interested in joining! We are actively working on a release, which we hope to happen early 2010.
