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:

Three mentors active on mailing lists. High activity on mailing lists.
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. Make further releases capable of producing a downloadable RTOS image
with support for multiple peripherals and network connectivity. Do
subsequent releases to indicate thorough understanding, repeatability,
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 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. Healthy, active mailing lists with increasing numbers of subscribers
2. Continual outside interest by 3rd parties. Outreach via conferences,
exhibits, one on one meetings, beta testers, GSoC participation.
3. Vigorous discussions and implementation decisions via proposals and
voting on @dev mailing list.
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Releases: Two releases so far - first on 22nd Feb, next on 18th March
- Identified and fixed license issues, regular process established to
check for license issues esp. with third party software
- Tagging process and release candidate naming process tested and used
- Voting process and timelines established and used
2. Documentation support: Several committers added documentation either
through direct git pushes or pull requests on github mirror.
3. Effort towards self governance:
- Two releases completed successfully.
- Two committer candidates going through voting for committer status
after meeting threshold of patch submissions.
