Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Demonstrate the capability to do point and major releases that can be
used to build downloadable RTOS images for multiple MCU architectures,
peripherals, and network connectivity protocols. The goal of having a
first major (1.0) release in the first quarter of 2017 was met. The
releases are intended to demonstrate and solidify the repeatability,
usability, and maturity of process.
2. Continue to develop and execute policies that enable project
contributors to achieve self-governance.
3. Expand community - attract new project contributors, get users with
diverse backgrounds applying project to new use cases and encouraging
adoption, grow committer base.
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?
1. Active mailing lists with increasing numbers of subscribers. 19 new
subscribers on dev@ mailing list since last report resulting in a total
of 160 subscribers.
2. Increased participation by several new contributors through pull
requests for new MCU support, merges by new committers, new BSP support,
connectivity features, and test cases and test results. There is a
measurable increase in usage of the project for 3rd-party products and
demos. Outreach continues via conferences, exhibits, one on one
meetings, tutorials, beta testers, prototype and performance testing
with multiple organizations. For example, 255 Pull Requests have been
closed on GitHub.
3. Vigorous discussions, feature proposals, optimizations, code behavior
analysis, user interface improvements, and implementation debates on
@dev mailing list. Activity on dev@ list averaged 192 msgs/month in 2016
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. The first major release (1.0) was successfully completed on March 22nd.
Two beta releases led up to the first major release - first on December
13, 2016, the second on Feb 24, 2017, with the final month before the
release (between beta2 and 1.0) focusing on bug fixes, performance
tuning, and code cleanup for a robust first release. An example of
policy developed and executed is the Release Policy:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MYNEWT/Release+and+Support+Policy
2. Planning: Issues including bug reports, features, and wish list captured
and tracked in ASF JIRA by members of the community. Proposals for new
features are posted on the dev@ mailing list and voted on by community
members.
3. Effort towards self governance: Voting successfully completed to grant
committer status to five new candidates since last report. New committer
acceptance policy defined and followed:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MYNEWT/New+Committer+Acceptance+Process
Another example of policy developed and executed is the Release Policy:

Mynewt is a real-time operating system for constrained embedded systems like
wearables, lightbulbs, locks and doorbells. It works on a variety of 32-bit
MCUs (microcontrollers), including ARM Cortex-M and MIPS architectures.
Mynewt has been incubating since 2015-10-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Do a first Apache release capable of producing a downloadable RTOS
image with support for multiple peripherals and network connectivity.
2. Develop and execute policies that enable project contributors to
achieve self-governance
3. Expand community - attract new project contributors and users, grow
committer base
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?
1. Mailing list activity since last report:
@dev 52 messages (1 Dec to 5 Jan), 1 new subscribers (20 total)
@commits 150+ messages
2. Repo is being cloned and looked at by several outside parties - need
to get all interested parties on the dev mailing list.
3. Participation on the @dev mailing list covered a range of topics
including feature implementation approaches, coding practices, website,
and documentation rules discussions.
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Feature support: 2 new JIRA issues were created to facilitate feature
implementation and website discussions
2. Documentation support: Two new committers have started adding material
to technical documentation.
3. Effort towards community growth: We have redesigned the project website
to organize and present content more clearly and to highlight upcoming
events where the project will have exposure.
4. Effort towards self governance: Consensus reached on how a potential
contributor is accepted over time as a committer based on quality of
work.
