IPMC/Shepherd notes:
NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform and application framework. NetBeans has been incubating since 2016-10-01. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Granting and integration of 2nd donation (mainly Java EE, JavaScript, PHP, Groovy) -- is being wrapped up at Oracle. 2. Granting and integration of 3rd donation, consisting of tutorials, related images, and other documentation for populating netbeans.apache.org. 3. Rerouting/switching from netbeans.org to netbeans.apache.org, plus new home for plugins.netbeans.org. 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? - NetCAT (NetBeans Community Acceptance Testing) program has started up, preparatory to final release of 9.0. - Apache virtual VM has been set up (netbeans-vm.apache.org) and one tool, used for NetCAT, is already there: http://netbeans-vm.apache.org/synergy - New Apache NetBeans logo has been voted on and accepted. - Ongoing discussions re redesign of splash screen. - Apache NetBeans Day as a class of event has been approved by Apache trademarks: https://netbeans.apache.org/community/events.html - First official Apache NetBeans Day accepted via lazy consensus to be held April 27, in London, at the University of Greenwich: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/328f564ac75 3165b39e7d96e67c929f7996a935ef75437c6c8e239fc@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E - Currently 557 on Apache NetBeans users mailing list and 406 on Apache NetBeans dev mailing list.

NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform and application framework. NetBeans has been incubating since 2016-10-01. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Donating remaining NetBeans code from Oracle to Apache. 2. Moving netbeans.org to Apache. 3. Voting in new committers. 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? - Voting process for new committers has been documented for the first time, with mentors: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Becoming+a+committer - The start has been made in voting on new committers, though because the process wasn't clear, we stopped and put together the document above before continuing. - All NetBeans.org mailing lists have been contacted and everyone has been encouraged to move to Apache NetBeans mailing lists. - NetBeans.org mailing lists scheduled to be deleted (they're backed up on MarkMail) in the first week of 2018. - A new Apache NetBeans announce mailing list has been created for those who want high level occasional announcements only, not day to day NetBeans e-mails. - GitHub commits and notifications are now sent to new dedicated mailing lists to reduce the noise in the Apache NetBeans dev mailing list. - Standard footers have been added to mails with info about how to unsubscribe and where to get all the mailing list info (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists). - Currently over 550 on Apache NetBeans users mailing list and over 350 on Apache NetBeans dev mailing lists - Continual activity on mailing lists, new pull requests coming in and being integrated, i.e., continually active community. - Status report done live with several Apache NetBeans community members, plus one Apache NetBeans mentor, at Devoxx Belgium December 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkfX-W0tgNo How has the project developed since the last report? - Audit of 2nd code donation from Oracle is complete and is being processed for donation, see end of this page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+Transition - Alpha of Apache NetBeans (incubating) has been released: http s://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Alpha - Beta of Apache NetBeans (incubating) is nearing completion and ready for vote threads: htt ps://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Beta - A special aspect of Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 Beta is the ability for the user to need to specify whether they want to use the GPL-ed nb-javac (which is an Apache requirement, i.e., the user needs to take the onus of using binaries that are not compliant with Apache licensing requirements) or javac directly from JDK 9 (which thus complies with Apache licenses, though has less solid integration with NetBeans): https: //cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Java+Editor+Using+JDK+javac - see also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-279 - Plan was to work on Beta release during last week of the year, but holiday season got in the way. - Repo created for cleaning up netbeans.org website, with content and instructions included: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans-website-cleanup - New Apache NetBeans wiki-export tool has been added to apache-netbeans-incubator-tools: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans-tools How would you assess the podling's maturity?

- Apache Git repo now contains the 1st code donation, 2 more being worked on, consisting of around 45,000 files and 4 million LOC.
- Mirroring has been set up via GitHub.
- Around 29000 files have been relicensed to Apache via a converter tool created by Jan Lahoda, an Apache NetBeans committer.
- Repo has been set up for tools, e.g., the converter tool referenced above: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans-tools
- Initial README, NOTICE, and LICENSE have been created and pushed.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:
johndament: Now that they have their first SGA, podling is getting their feet wet in true ASF processes to get a release out the door. On list activity is great.
NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform and application
framework.
NetBeans has been incubating since 2016-10-01.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Legal process to hand over code. Still pending and frustrating to all concerned.
2. Possibility that NetBeans 1st donation will not be done in time to release together with JDK 9.
3. Slowness/thoroughness of the process of handing over code from Oracle.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The process will take time.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Various discussions about specific plugins, etc, and about the logo and website.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Progress is being made on the Oracle side, the progress is continual, but slow.

Comments: Latest news is that Oracle is now at the final stage,
reviewing the AL2.0 and CCLA itself, needed for the 1st code donation.
So hopefully we finally can import and validate the 1st donation soon.

NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform and application
framework.
NetBeans has been incubating since 2016-10-01.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Licensing, i.e., identifying and solving GPL-related code.
2. Coming up with a process of contributing code that makes sense to
everyone.
3. Working on roadmaps, features, and plans together as a community.
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?

Started initial code cleanup analysis
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Overview%3A+NetBeans+Structure
Oracle has already agreed to relicense the Graal.js parser under the
Apache license. Resolved in LEGAL-279 the nb-javac dependency
license.
Almost finished new static website for Apache NetBeans.
Experimented Mercurial to Git repository migration with a focus on
repository size. Solution found, size not an issue anymore.
