Ripple is a browser based mobile phone emulator designed to aid in the development of HTML5 based mobile applications. Ripple is a cross platform and cross runtime testing/debugging tool. It currently supports such runtimes as Cordova, WebWorks and the Mobile Web. Ripple has been incubating since 2012-10-16. Two most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Making a new release of Ripple 2. Contributors and community engagement Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Working on making a release for Ripple How has the community developed since the last report? Added 3 new committers - Ilya - Tim Barham - Parashuram N How has the project developed since the last report? Working on a new release. We started a new vote, but it was reverted due to issues.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? The community recently discussed the lack of growth in the project. Some members felt that retirement of the podling was appropriate. Others have stepped up to take over essential tasks and attempt to build a community. We have agreed with mentors to review this situation in 6 months. It is possible that Ripple is no longer important as its functionality is potential being replaced by Cordova-browser. Our original champion, Ross Gardler has also up to help evaluate the situation. For Cordova-browser idea, there was also a discussion on the mailing list. How has the community developed since the last report? No new committers since last June 2014. How has the project developed since the last report? Minor user contributions. Date of last release: No release made as yet, this will be the first item to receive attention. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? June, 2014.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? The overall decision of what to do with Ripple as an ASF project, and whether it can become a sub-project of Cordova is still under discussion. Additionally, there are discussion threads proposing how to more tightly integrate and use Ripple within Cordova. How has the community developed since the last report? A new committer was voted in.

At the moment the project is discussing its future. So far almost no community could be grown and it is being discussed if the project should become a sub-project of Apache Cordova. The pros of this solution would be: - Cordova is a consumer of Ripple - Cordova is an active project and has a functional PMC One con of this solution is that Cordova cannot guarantee the success of the project. Also, the current Ripple code base cannot be released, as there are some things to sort out (from legal perspective, like the images cannot be redistributed). Both communities have discussed this option and also the option to move to GitHub. So far no agreement could be reached.

Ripple has been incubating since 2012-10-16.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Check if some source modules are not compatible with ASF guidelines and
need to be extracted to f. e. GitHub
2. Check license of images and - if necessary - replace them
3. Prepare first release
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?
More issue reports, feature suggestions and general questions submitted by
users.
More code contributions from individual users (including instances where the
user who submitted an issue went and fixed it themselves).
How has the project developed since the last report?
More activity via non-committer contributions (alongside part time committer
contributions). Mainly: bug fixes.

How has the community developed since the last report?
No new contributors/committers.
Due to changes in the working life of some of the original developers
there are no more full-time committers working at the Ripple project.
The committers expressed there interest in contributing further in
their spare time.

Need to contribute code to ASF 2. Increase the ripple community @ apache. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? We are still working internally to be able to contribute the Ripple code to ASF Looks like we might have to strip out all of the trademarks from the project for the initial commit under the SGA, we will then commit them back as a normal contribution under ASL2.0. How has the community developed since the last report? The community continues to grow slowly with some more community contributions seen in the project's current home. We expect the community to build up once the project is fully transitioned to the ASF. Also some discussion and bugs are happening in the apache community. How has the project developed since the last report? Very little change here. Filed by Dan Silivestru.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Software Grant Agreement has been submitted to ASF for
review. Awaiting ASF legal approval of additions made by Research In
Motion.
2. Once SGA is approved, code needs to be contributed to ASF
3.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
- None at this time.
How has the community developed since the last report?
- Even though the code is not in ASF yet, we have seen active contributions
from several members of the Cordova project in Ripple. Most notable
contributions are described at

How has the project developed since the last report?
Little progress on the ASF contribution part, waiting for ASF legal
approval.
Development on the project has continued.

ICLAs contributed and committer accounts created. Currently blocked on submitting code to ASF pending submission and approval of Software Grant Agreement. All code has been compiled internally, zip file created as well as a list of all files that will be contributed under the SGA.
