Community-led development "The Apache Way"
This was extracted (@ 2021-01-20 20:10) 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).
Sedona is a big geospatial data processing engine. It provides an easy to
use APIs for spatial data scientists to manage, wrangle, and process
geospatial data.
Sedona has been incubating since 2020-07-19.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. We are still working on the first release
2.
3.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No
### How has the community developed since the last report?
We are doing good here. We received many questions via emails and on
Gitter chat.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We have made several PR to prepare the first release. This includes the
name change in the paths and classes, update dependencies in core, sql,
viz
and python. We are also working on the documentation updates.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
The community has been active in the past month. We have received emails
and Gitter chats from many users. The GitHub repo also received more
stars.
However, we notice that, since we close the "Issues" function on GitHub,
many users seem not to post questions to JIRA and mailing list. Some of
them chose to send emails directly to the committers. We would like to
figure out a way to guide the users to the right channel.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Since the last report, we have published our new project website under the
Apache domain: http://sedona.apache.org/
We have almost finished our first big PR under the new name, Sedona:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-sedona/pull/484
The development progress was kind of blocked by this PR. We believe once
this PR is accepted, we will move much faster.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
The community has been active since the last report. We have started to
use the mailing list to exchange ideas of different development issues in
Sedona. Several contributors, users and committers have joined the
discussion on the mailing list dev@
It is also worth noting that we are still working on importing the code
into the incubator ASF GitHub repo. It took us several weeks to collect
CLAs and SGAs from the major participating parties. I believe we have
collected sufficient evidence to prove that the artifact is ready to be
imported and the secretary has confirmed the CLA and SGA. We just created
a JIRA ticket for the infra team and are waiting for them to import our
codebase into ASF GitHub:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20786
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project made a good progress. In the past month, we accepted several
patches from Kengo Seki and Sachio Wakai. In the meantime, Committer
Netanel is working on a large PR to replace a 3rd party dependency
JTSplus with JTS in order to improve the performance. Committer Pawel is
working on another large PR to carry out the Sedona Python support for
Spark 3.0.

Are things falling through the cracks? If so, please list any
open issues that need to be addressed.
Yes, mentors are very helpful throughout the process. We exchanged many
emails recently to solve the CLA and SGA issues.
### 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?
We haven't seen any ongoing issues regarding this matter.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
Good progress on bootstrap, LDAP and DNS created, JIRA created, git repo
created, mailing lists created.
5 PPMC CLA submitted, account created and added to the roster of Sedona.
We have removed all incompatible 3rd party library dependencies in the
old codebase.
Now we are waiting for another committer to submit the CLA and then the
code will be imported to ASF Git repo.
