Community-led development "The Apache Way"
This was extracted (@ 2022-07-20 16:10) from a list of minutes
which have been approved by the Board.
Please Note
The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the
beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not
normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting.
Meeting times vary, the exact schedule is available to ASF Members and Officers, search for "calendar" in the Foundation's private index page (svn:foundation/private-index.html).
Report was filed, but display is awaiting the approval of the Board minutes.
Apache Liminal is an end-to-end platform for data engineers and scientists,
allowing them to build, train and deploy machine learning models in a robust
and agile way.
Liminal has been incubating since 2020-05-23.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Grow developers community.
2. Adoption of the project by a few companies.
3. More features and integrations with eco-system projects.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
NA
### How has the community developed since the last report?
We have presented Liminal to few companies and received important feedback.
We have 2 new official committers. We are also starting a PoC with one
company.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We have released version 0.0.4, introducing Airflow 2.0 support +
extensibility API.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Apache Liminal is an end-to-end platform for data engineers & scientists,
allowing them to build, train and deploy machine learning models in a
robust and agile way. The platform provides the abstractions and
declarative capabilities for data extraction & feature engineering followed
by model training and serving. Apache Liminal's goal is to operationalise
the machine learning process, allowing data scientists to quickly
transition from a successful experiment to an automated pipeline of model
training, validation, deployment and inference in production, freeing them
from engineering and non-functional tasks, and allowing them to focus on
machine learning code and artifacts.
Liminal has been incubating since 2020-05-23.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Bootstrapping resources and code donation
2. Building community
3. First release
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Liminal is in early incubator stage, creation of resources has been done

The initial committer list submits ICLA and we are preparing the code
donation.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
This is the first report for Liminal.
