Celebrating 20 years of community-led development "The Apache Way"
This was extracted (@ 2019-05-09 14:10) 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

SDAP is an integrated data analytic center for Big Science problems.
SDAP has been incubating since 2017-10-22.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make official SDAP (Incubating) Release
2. Improve/create user guide documentation
3. Grow Community
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
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.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

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
t that required the mentor's attention (the project is in good hands under L
ewis :-)).
Mentors are available nevertheless to help with releases and guiding the pod
ling.

Comments: SDAP is doing very well. Branding,
trademarks, source code compliance are the
primary issues blocking a release right now.
