Community-led development "The Apache Way"
This was extracted (@ 2020-09-29 22:10) from a list of minutes
which have been approved by the Board.
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.
Meeting times vary, the exact schedule is available to ASF Members and Officers, search for "calendar" in the Foundation's private index page (svn:foundation/private-index.html).
SDAP is an integrated data analytic center for Big Science problems.
SDAP has been incubating since 2017-10-22.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Make official SDAP (Incubating) Release
2. Improve committer participation
3. Improve/create user guide documentation
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Subscription of PPMC members to the @private mailing list should be
resolved. All PPMC members should now be subscribed to @private. If this
is not accurate, please advise.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
New committers have been added.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Integrated SDAP analytics with Esri ArcGIS front end.
2. Added new temporal variance (2D map) analytic algorithm.
3. Further improvements in Kubernetes-based deployment procedures.
### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Justin Mclean: Can I ask why the PPMC is not managing the podlings
brand and trademarks? Also there still 1/3 of of your PPMC members
not signed up to your private list. Also please include a date of
your last release in your next report.

A NASA-sponsored project to build a cloud workflow for sea ice and ocean
circulation data, in development at JPL, is adapting SDAP for its analytics
platform. Reference: T. Huang, M. DeBellis, I. Fenty, P. Heimbach, J. C.

No.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Interest in the project has increased after presentation at ApacheCon.
New `#sdap` channel created on the-asf.slack.com
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Frank Greguska attended ApacheCon NA and presented an overview of SDAP.
Discussion about what is necessary to produce a release were beneficial
and the path forward is clear. Goal is to get a source release before the
end of the year.
### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
There are several deployments of SDAP actively being used and interest is
high. However, active participation from project members is low. First
source release should be coming soon.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
SDAP is still working towards its first release. Work towards a
repeatable build pipeline has been started.
New functionality has been added to the Distributed Oceanographic Matchup
Service (DOMS) and Extensible Data Gateway Environment (EDGE) components
that allow for filtering in situ measurements by a standardized quality
flag.
### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
There are several deployments of SDAP actively being used and interest is

is needed to cross the t's and dot the i's in regards to meeting the
requirements Apache has for releasing software so that we can claim a 1.0
version of SDAP.

Make official SDAP (Incubating) Release 2. Improve/create user guide documentation 3. Improve committer participation Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No. How has the community developed since the last report? Committership has been accepted by a community member. SDAP was presented at a Data Science Workshop @ JPL How has the project developed since the last report? SDAP is still working towards its first release. Mentors have provided some suggestions that will be taken into consideration for the Java parts of the project, but the python release process also needs to be better understood. A new tool has been published that helps with reading the output produced from the Matchup algorithm. How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary.

A member of the SDAP podling stepped up to the release manager role which
is great. It shows the the podling is maturing.
Unfortunately, the release candidate which was produced was not in
compliance with the ASF release policy, thankfully Justin highlighted
this and we are in the process of rolling the RC back. Lewis (SDAP
champion) and the release manager are working to resolve this and get the
first incubating release candidate finished.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Two VOTE's have been made over on private@sdap regarding extending
PPMC and Committership to two community contributors. This is very
positive.
How has the project developed since the last report?
SDAP is on the verge of it's first release. With some persistence
the podling will have a release candidate for community VOTE soon.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher: Most of the PPMC listed in Whimsy is not subscribed to
private@.
The number of developers on the dev list is small. A little too
soon to be thinking about graduation if you ask me.
Justin Mclean: The IPMC usually likes to see 2 or 3 releases happen
before the project consider graduation.

As mentors, we have not been very actively involved - but there's nothing ye

ewis :-)).
Mentors are available nevertheless to help with releases and guiding the pod
ling.

http://esipfed.org/meetings/upcoming-meetings/esip-summer-meeting-2018
How has the project developed since the last report?
Development is being sustained with initial discussion of an initial
Incubating release some time soon. The dev@ community has produced
