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.

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.

PageSpeed

16 Nov 2022

PageSpeed represents a series of open source technologies to
help make the web faster by rewriting web pages to reduce
latency and bandwidth.

PageSpeed has been incubating since 2017-09-30.

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

 The project has been in the incubator for a long time.

 While the project enjoys a strong user base that has grown during this
 time, the project has not succeeded to grow a strong developer base to
 match this.
 Therefore we think the project should withdraw from the incubator.

PageSpeed represents a series of open source technologies to
help make the web faster by rewriting web pages to reduce
latency and bandwidth.

PageSpeed has been incubating since 2017-09-30.

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

 1.Grow the number of active developers

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

While there is a healthy user base, the number of active developers remains
persistently low.  This seems to be a hard to address challenge.

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

Mailing lists and git issues are active. The number of active developers is
unchanged.

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

Minor activity. notably, ngx_pagespeed's build broke as of nginx 1.23, a fix
was contributed addressing this in a backwards compatible manner.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings
name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to
correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name?

As far as we know the brand is respected by third parties.

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

 The first incubator release has been announced after field-testing.
 Furthermore, small enhancements are being contributed from people outside
 of
 the initial committer group. Major changes have landed on master: the
 build
 system has been refreshed to leverage bazel, c++17, abseil and Envoy. All
 dependencies have been refreshed and sanitized where possible.
 As a side-effect, some of the remaining issues from the WIP-DISCLAIMER
 have
 been addressed.

 - MPL licensed source code for http date parsing replaced with our own
 version
 which leans on abseil. That part is all Apache licensed now.
 - The no longer contains compiled code pulled in from dependencies.

 A simple PoC port to Envoy has landed, as a first step towards running
 PageSpeed
 as a stand-alone sidecar service (where traffic of arbitrary servers can
 be
 routed
 through it via transparent proxying or L7 routing).

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
 justin Mclean: Congratulations on your release!

18 Mar 2020

PageSpeed represents a series of open source technologies to
help make the web faster by rewriting web pages to reduce
latency and bandwidth.

PageSpeed has been incubating since 2017-09-30.

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

 1. Produce a release
 2. Increase the number of active developers
 3.

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

 After a series of release candidates, a first incubator release was
 approved
 by both the developer group and the IPMC. However, while doing the final
 release preparation a blocking issue was observed: the scripts that
 package
 the product would still point to dl.google.com as a repo source.
 This is being addressed.

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

 Mailing lists and git issues are active. The number of active developers
 is steady.

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

 A first WIP incubator release made it through the voting rounds, but
 needs some small changes to address a blocking issue observed during
 finalization. Those have been made, and another vote is in progress.

 release area. Please do so.

20 Nov 2019

PageSpeed represents a series of open source technologies to

PageSpeed has been incubating since 2017-09-30.

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

 1. Produce first release
 2. Grow the number of active developers
 3.

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

 We need more IPMC votes on a proposed release candidate which has passed our
 own PMC review.

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

 User-activity is healthy as always. Developer activity is still limited
 to the original contributor group, plus recently a new committer (lofesa@).

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

 - There is a release staged in review with some good fixes & features.
 - Work on modernizing the project's build system has progressed well.
 - Also, there is a PoC for running PageSpeed via Envoy, which opens a great
 path towards materializing a 2.0 version.

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

 2. Grow more active contributors
 3.

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

 What has been falling through the cracks is actually producing a release
 for review. That has been looked into [1] but the artifact needs a few
 tweaks to get it right according to ASF standards before it makes sense to
 enter the process.

 [1] http://people.apache.org/~oschaaf/mod_pagespeed/

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

 One new committer/ppmc member was voted in after contributing
 a series of code changes to the core product.

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

 A significant effort is in progress to modernize some aspects of
 the project as well as simplify the build and dependency management
 by porting the build system from gyp to bazel.
 This is a first step towards the PageSpeed 2.0 plan that was initially
 proposed when entering the incubator.

PageSpeed has been incubating since 2017-09-30.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 2. Start releasing
 3. Engage more active developers, expanding the community

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

How has the community developed since the last report?

 The number of active developers is low, we are still working
 to follow up on the recommendation to create a release.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 - A first draft-release is being manually checked for policy compliance.
 We expect
 to be able to raise a thread on general soon to discuss/vote.
 - There has been some discussion how to get the project site in-order,
 and there's
 a plan for that now (transfer modpagespeed.com to the AFS, duplicate
 contents to
 pagespeed.incubator.apache.org).

 1. The project needs more active developers.
 2. Create a first release
 3.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

 The number of active developers is low. It was suggested that a release
 may help attract community members. This was started, but stalled because
 of us feeling that we wanted to land a certain bug-fix. This release
 process will be re-spun and we should have a first incubator release
 candidate ready for review somewhere in the next couple of weeks.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 One new developer was invited to be added as a committer, but ended up
 declining.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 There have been significant contributions to the core product, which is
 an improvement. Frequency is still low.

 The number of active developers is low.
 It looks like we cannot leave this up to organic growth and would like to
 brainstorm on ways to engage more developers.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 One new developer was proposed to be added as a committer, but nobody
 voted, so the vote failed. This vote may have been initiated too early.
 In terms of users the project seems to be growing slightly still, but in
 terms  of developers we seem to be stalled.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 A docker image for Alpine support was merged, which constitutes a non-
 trivial contribution.

 The last report being missed was my bad (oschaaf), I was on vacation
 and forgot to ask someone else to do it.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 Again, there have been very limited external contributions, two
 contributions to the core code-base.
 We do see certain users committing to helping out others on the google
 group and github, some of them consistently for months now.
 In terms of user engagement activity continues to be healthy.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 - Problems with Travis timeouts have been mostly fixed
 - Flaking dependencies hosted on sourcefourge have been fixed
 - Work is still in progress for a particularly nasty bug, which
   would be great to have fixed in a first release.
 - An external contributor has been maintaining a docker image
   for ngx_pagespeed, which should be proposed for inclusion into
   the ASF repo soon

    Comments: A healthy level of activity in github/issues, but the dev
    list is looking thin (I don't recollect any of the issues reported
    above discussed there), and community development seems slow.

PageSpeed represents a series of open source technologies to help make the web
faster by rewriting web pages to reduce latency and bandwidth.

PageSpeed has been incubating since 2017-09-30.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

 1. Work on ASF compliance with regard to the code base and website
    needs review.
 2. Create a first release
 3. Engage more active developers, expanding the 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?

 One new pmc member/committer joined. There have been external contributions to
 the code, but those have been mostly one-offs and not to the core product.
 We do see certain users committing to helping out others on the google group
 and github, some of them consistently for months now.
 In terms of user engagement activity continues to be healthy.
 (lots of questions, some of which have been added to the FAQ).


How has the project developed since the last report?

 Changes with regard to ASF/incubator compliance for the code-base,
 dependencies, and existing website have been made for mod_pagespeed.

 There have been non-trivial dependency upgrades to address platform
 compatibility issues.

 A bug fix for a relatively frequently reported issue is under review.

 A discussion on dev@ will be initiated to gauge consensus for spinning up
 the release process based on the current code-base. The advantage is that
 doing so would make transitioning from Google- to ASF- signed releases
 low friction.

How has the community developed since the last report?

The dev list is showing much more activity since the last board report:
- Gitbox notifications are now reflected to dev@
- Most discussions by devs have had dev@ looped in

One of the original team members from Google has been invited to join
as a PMC member/committer.

Limited contributions from outside of the initial committer group:
Documentation fixes, cpanel support.

How has the project developed since the last report?

- The initial code drop has been performed
- The project was voted to switch to Commit-to-Review while we work
 on license compliance and lots of small changes are anticipated.
- It looks like RAT compliance is close to being done.
- A first pass for assembling NOTICE and LICENSE for mod_pagespeed
 is under review.
- Dependencies have been updated, a reliability fix was merged

How has the community developed since the last report?

- A new potential committer indicated interest in joining the PageSpeed initiative
by maintaining the FreeBSD port he contributed and updating it to the latest, and
upstreaming required changes to support the new platform to make future updates
easier.

How has the project developed since the last report?

- Some technical hurdles were encountered while trying to run the RAT tools on
the codebase. The plan is to pick this up again after the initial code drop has been
performed to the ASF repo.
- We are working on getting the source code into the ASF repository.
- Progress was made on new features and getting the module distributed more widely.
