WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

18 May 2022

NuttX is a mature, real-time embedded operating system (RTOS).

NuttX has been incubating since 2019-12-09.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Clear any potential infringing use of the NuttX trademark
 2. Achieve a non-WIP Disclaimer release under Apache
 3. Continue to grow the community with people from different background

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 During our previous month report (April 2022), we submitted our first
 non-WIP-DISCLAIMER release candidate to the IPMC for a vote. One of our
 mentors identified several additional items that should be listed in
 LICENSE. This is currently being addressed and we hope to submit a new
 release candidate for IPMC vote soon. If the vote passes, we will make
 our first non-WIP-DISCLAIMER release since joining the ASF Incubator
 and the project hopes to apply for graduation to TLP status shortly
 after that. Throughout this process, we would appreciate any and all
 helpful feedback that will assist us in reaching this important
 milestone and would like to express our sincere gratitude for all the
 help we've received so far.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 * Virtually all communications have moved from old venues to

 * We are seeing new contributors to the project through GitHub.
 * We have 5 mentors, 17 PPMC members, and 26 non-PPMC committers.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 * The WIP-DISCLAIMER has been removed from the nuttx and apps
   repositories pending NuttX-10.3, which we expect will be our
   first non-disclaimer release.
 * NuttX-10.2 was released on November 23, 2021.
 * Many technical improvements, bug fixes, and new architectures
   have been collaborated and work continues with several pull
   requests merged per day.
 * We have listened to the valuable feedback received during our

NuttX has been incubating since 2019-12-09.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Clear any potential infringing use of the NuttX trademark
 2. Achieve a non-WIP Disclaimer release under Apache
 3. Continue to grow the community with people from different background

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 The project has begun to discuss graduation to TLP and hopes to start
 this  process in the near future. We would appreciate any helpful
 feedback that  will assist us in taking this important step forward.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 * Virtually all communications have moved from old venues to
   dev@nuttx.apache.org. The dev list contains 245 subscribers, an
   increase of 7% since our previous report, and is the home of most
   development discussions and user questions.
 * GitHub's PRs and Issues also have their own discussions.
 * We are seeing new contributors to the project through GitHub.
 * No non-PPMC committers have been added since the last report.
 * One new PPMC member has been added since the last report: Sara
   Monteiro joined the PPMC in May.
 * No non-PPMC committers have been added since the last report.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 * NuttX developers and contributors organized the annual NuttX
   Workshop 2021. Due to continuing concerns around COVID, this
   year's workshop was held online. The event took place on 21-22
   August 2021 and can be seen online at
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxhrnO4qz0w. More information
   about this and other NuttX events can be found at
   https://nuttx.events.
 * We continue to make significant steps toward license clearing,
   needed for graduation. This month, we have received four new SGAs
   and five new ICLAs. Efforts continue to clear files and change
   their license to the Apache 2.0 License through the large effort
   of our volunteers. Since joining the Incubator, tens of thousands
   of files have been changed to the Apache 2.0 License with the
   permission of more than 70 individuals and 20 organizations who
   signed ICLAs, CCLAs, and SGAs to assist us in getting closer to
   graduation. We are grateful to everyone for their invaluable
   support through this important process.
 * NuttX developers and contributors organized an event called NuttX
   Monthly Meetup, the first event of its kind, which took place at
   https://meet.jit.si/NuttXMeetup, to discuss topics such as
   continuing efforts toward license clearing and the next NuttX
   release. Following the event, a lengthy discussion took place at
   the NuttX mailing list where concerns were expressed about the
   meeting's content and synchronous venue. Currently it is unclear
   whether similar events will be organized in the future. If they
   will, it seems likely that the focus will be to promote NuttX and
   answer users questions.
 * The community has begun discussing the next release, NuttX-10.2,
   and a developer has volunteered to serve as Release Manager for
   this release.
 * Many technical improvements, bug fixes, and new architectures
   have been collaborated and work continues with several pull
   requests merged per day.
 * We have listened to the valuable feedback received during our
   previous releases and continue to improve our documentation. This
   can be found at https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/.

    meetup, my suggestion is still that, it is OK to hold these events but the
    final decision must be made on the mailing list, not on the event.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 None at this time. However, please note that the project is beginning to
 discuss graduation to TLP and hopes to start this process in the near
 future.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 * Virtually all communications have moved from old venues to
   dev@nuttx.apache.org. The dev list contains 230 subscribers, an
   increase of 5% since our previous report, and is the home of most
   development discussions and user questions.
 * GitHub's PRs and Issues also have their own discussions.
 * We are seeing new contributors to the project through GitHub.
 * One new committer has been added since the last report: Gustavo
   Henrique Nihei received a commit bit in April.
 * One new PPMC member has been added since the last report: Sara
   Monteiro joined the PPMC in May.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 * NuttX developers and significant contributors are currently planning
   and organizing the annual NuttX Workshop 2021. Due to continuing
   concerns around COVID, this year's workshop will once again be held
   online. The event is planned for 21-22 August 2021. More information
   can be found at https://nuttx.events.
 * We continue to make significant steps toward license clearing, needed
   for graduation. This quarter, efforts have continued to clear files
   and change their license to the Apache 2.0 License through the large
   effort of our volunteers. Since joining the Incubator, more than 10,000

   files have been changed to the Apache 2.0 License with the permission
   of more than 60 individuals and 16 organizations who signed ICLAs,
   CCLAs, and SGAs to assist us in getting closer to graduation. We are
   grateful to everyone for their invaluable support through this
   important process.
 * We continue to secure ICLAs and SGAs from past and present
   contributors and have secured several new ICLAs, CCLAs, and SGAs this
   quarter.
 * Contributions are flowing regularly as PRs in GitHub with occasional
   patches in the dev list.
 * Many technical improvements, bug fixes, and new architectures have
   been collaborated and work continues with several pull requests
   merged per day.
 * NuttX v10.1.0 was released this quarter.
 * We have listened to the valuable feedback received during our
   previous releases and continue to improve our documentation. This can
   be found at https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/.
 * We are working to streamline our GitHub PR checks to use fewer
   resources while still giving providing early feedback of potentially
   disruptive problems. The GitHub PR checks have helped us immensely in
   improving our code quality and compliance to project standards.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

15 Apr 2020

NuttX is a mature, real-time embedded operating system (RTOS).

NuttX has been incubating since 2019-12-09.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Clear any potential infringing use of the NuttX trademark
 2. Determine the form and location of NuttX releases
 3. Make the first release under Apache

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 None

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 * We have extended invitations to two new committers.
 * One of the new invited committers, Yamamoto Takashi, has accepted,
   filed an ICLA with the ASF, and has been added to the roster
   successfully.
 * The other new invited committer has accepted but is still
   currently undergoing the ICLA and account creation process.
 * We continue to see new contributors to the project through GitHub.
 * Most communications have moved from old venues to
   dev@nuttx.apache.org. Currently this list is the primary home of
   all development discussions and users questions. Some users
   continue to post questions to the old Google Group but we let them
   know about the move, so as to consolidate the project in one
   place.
 * GitHub's PRs and Issues also have their own discussions.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 * Regarding making our first release as Apache NuttX (Incubating),
   the community has agreed on a branch date (April 6th) and a
   tentative release date of end of April. Furthermore, we have
   agreed to reinstate the bimonthly releases that NuttX was making
   prior to becoming a Podling, subsequent to this first release.
 * One of our PPMC members, Brennan Ashton, has volunteered to be
   Release Manager (RM) for this first release, provided that we make
   progress on licensing. To that end, several community members have
   invested considerable time with Fossology to qualify license
   headers of various files. As we have nearly 90,000 files in our
   repository, we expect this work to continue for quite some time,
   but the goal is to make additional progress at each release.
 * The nightly build is up and running: https://s.apache.org/wnv2u
   Our Continuous Integration (CI) system continues to receive
   various tweaks and fixes. Currently, our automated nightly tests
   are showing various failures but this is gradually improving.
 * The community continues to collaborate on various technical
   improvements, bug fixes, and new architectures. Contributions are
   flowing regularly as Pull Requests (PRs) in GitHub and as patches
   emailed to the dev list.

### Date of last release:

 There is yet to be a release for Apache NuttX.
 However with the help of our mentor Justin, we are working towards
 accomplishing this.

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

 Last elected PPMC:
  * Brennan Ashton: 2020-01-10

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

 Mentors are helpful and responsive.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

 As noted in the last report the name is registered in the US by
 Gregory Nutt, and no new issue regarding the trademark usage was noted.
 A podling name search is yet to be done to get the Brand Management VP
 approval.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

15 Jan 2020

NuttX is a mature, real-time embedded operating system (RTOS) with
emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint.

NuttX has been incubating since 2019-12-09.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Clear any potential infringing use of the NuttX trademark
  2. Grow the community outside the old project and around Apache
     infrastructure
  3. Make the first release under the Apache umbrella.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

  Even though the project is in its early incubation stages, its maturity
  allowed us to elect 3 new members:
  Ken and Masayuki are both long time contributors to NuttX. They were
  interested in becoming Committers/PPMC members and supposed to be in the
  initial committers list but missed the window by few hours (the voting
  had  already started).
  Brennan is also a long time contributor, and recently has put in some
  crazy hours to convert our old DokuWiki to Confluence.

  The project consists of two main repositories, _nuttx_ and _apps_.
  These two repositories are hosted by Apache in
  https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-nuttx.git
  and https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-nuttx-apps.git
  There are also 3 supporting repositories that have GPL licenses
  and hence can't be released under the Apache license.
  Nothing in these GPL repositories is ever delivered with NuttX releases.
  There are only references in the documentation to aid in building and
  installing the operating system.
  It is unclear where these repositories should reside.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

  The project used to have a google group where questions, patches and
  technical issues were discussed.

  Now, three mailing lists are in place: _dev_, _commit_ and _private_.
  _dev_ has 100 subscribers and is getting quite heavy traffic as the
  community is debating the next steps of the project.
  In the meantime, some contributors have already submitted a few patches
  and PRs.

  However, as it was expected, user activity has dropped down a little
  compared to the google group.
  First, not all google group subscribers are subscribed to the _dev_
  mailing list.
  Additionally, moving to Apache required reviewing the previous workflow
  and developing new requirements. This is currently the center of almost
  all discussions in the mailing list.
  Things are anticipated to settle down and get back to normal once
  our new way of working is sorted out.

  Regarding the project committee, it started with 12 members
  (4 mentors and 8 initial committers).
  Since incubation, 2 committers and 1 PPMC member have been added.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

  The project is only in its early days of incubation.
  The necessary resources are set up. The repositories have moved from
  Bitbucket to GitHub/GitBox and the Wiki from DokuWiki to Confluence.
  As noted above, the workflow requirements are still under development,
  it is expected that the project will see more contributions once this
  has been taken care of.

  First version of the website is available in github.io
  (https://apache-nuttx-website.github.io/).  It will be moved to Apache
  servers.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
  Justin Mclean: While off to a good start the podling has run into several
  issues, and seems to need a bit more focus before it has a functioning
  PPMC.
  Some of these issues are due to ignoring mentors/incubator advice. I'd
  suggest the project focus on more immediate needs rather than hypothetical
  issues that may or may not occur in the future.

  Flavio Junqueira: NuttX started incubation with an established community,
  and a good amount of the ramp-up effort has been spent on understanding
  the Apache environment and principles, moving the code base, and adapting
  or replacing existing processes. I’m happy with the community progress so
  far, and have no specific concern.
