## Description:
The mission of Sentry is the creation and maintenance of software related to
Fine grained authorization to data and metadata in Apache Hadoop

## Issues:

Contributions to this project are down from the last few quarters. Like me,
some folks who were active in the project started working on other stuff which
brought down the contribution.

We had roll call for PMC's to see if there are enough PMC's willing to help to
make releases and fix vulnerabilities. We received responses from 3 PMC's.

We also started a community roll call in the dev list invitation folks
interested to get involved in the community. Here is the link for the roll
call.

## Description:

Apache Sentry is a highly modular system for providing fine grained role based
authorization to both data and metadata stored on an Apache Hadoop Cluster.

## Issues:

There was a question asked by ASF board earlier about handling of licenses.
Here is a clarification of the issue.

Apache Sentry now uses an automated license generation process in place which
creates a license file adding pointers to the dependency's license within the
distribution. When sentry is build, license-maven-plugin which kicks in
package stage of mvn and gathers the license information of all the jars that
re ditributed. Here is the license information that Apache Sentry currently
uses/ License file is generated in sentry-dist which will have the license
information from top level LICENSE.txt and license details of all the third
party jars distributed and the path to their license files. Currently sentry
is distributing jars with licenses listed below
   1. BSD License
   2. 2-Clause BSD License
   3. 3-Clause BSD License
   4. CDDL 1.0
   5. CDDL 1.1
   6. Eclipse Public License
   7. MIT License
   8. Mozilla Public License

license-maven-plugin that is used does not provide all the information that
isneeded as the license information for a bunch of dependencies was not found.
Apache Sentry team have gone through an exercise of finding the license
information for such dependencies manually and used them as an overrides.

These steps has to be done before ever new release to make sure that license
information for the dependencies that changes are updated properly.

There are no other issues requiring board attention at this time

## Description:
Sentry is a highly modular system for providing fine grained role based
authorization to both data and metadata stored on an Apache Hadoop Cluster.

## Issues:
No issues at this point. Some guidance might be helpful:
1. Sentry had PPMC = committer as a podling. What can we learn from podlings
who had committer = PPMC, but changed/retained that model post graduation.
2. We have recently voted and added two committers. The vote mentioned only
committership, a mention of PMC would have been ideal. We are discussing
next steps among PMCs. Would the board recommend running the vote for PMC?

## Activity:
Post graduation: Most of the move done except some exceptions which are in
progress: INFRA-11496, SENTRY-1211

Preparing for 1.7.0 release: Sentry-1110

Conferences / community outreach:
- Hao and Anne are giving a talk at ApacheCon about Generalized Auth model
- Ashish is giving a talk at ApacheCon about Sentry Kafka integration and
authz in streaming.

Development: Here are the major buckets
- Test improvements especially around time taken to run.
- Kafka: Enable dist, shell
- Solr: Policy file to db
- V2: Enable dist
- User:role
- Import/export improvements
- Bug fixes
- HA improvements

## Health report:
Activity is good, no notable surges or declines.

## PMC changes:
- Currently 31 PMC members.
- No new PMC members added in the last 3 months

## Committer base changes:
 - Currently 33 committers
 - 2 committers added in the reporting month ( Just accepted the invite)

## Releases:
Preparing for the 1.7.0 release: Sentry-1110

## Mailing list activity:
Subscribers to private and security increased as new PMCs (post graduation)
have subscribed. Traffic to commits has been split into commits and issues
now. No notable surge or decline in activity otherwise.

    graduation. Community is right now discussing this.

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

 Graduation discussions have started. There seems to be some disagreement
 on graduation readiness which led to a broad discussion on general@. Seems
 like most of it is resolved but still need mentors agreement. The Sentry
 community did a number of things since last report to address the
 concerns/suggestions around the open communication.

 1. Community monthly hangout, IRC channel that's just been setup.
 2. Community members presented Sentry at the ApacheCon
 3. Sentry meetup at NY during HadoopWorld

How has the community developed since the last report?

 1. We had ~260 messages on dev list in the past two months. (Got number

   Mentors are engaged and have raised a number of issues for the project to
   address prior to graduation. The Sentry community seems to be actively
   working on addressing those issues. One issue (raised by mentor David
   Nalley) that seems yet to be addressed is a lack of on-list discussions

Sentry is a highly modular system for providing fine grained role based
authorization to both data and metadata stored on an Apache Hadoop cluster.

Sentry has been incubating since 2013-08-08.

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

 1. Build community and add new committers
 2. Continue to release at regular intervals

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?

 Community development continues. Sentry was presented to various user
 groups (Hive User Group, New York Hadoop User Group) with great interest.
 Sentry community hosted its first meetup in NYC. Nearly 20 people attended
 the meetup.  There was great interest and lively discussions.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 A number of new JIRAs have been filed and are being actively worked on.
 Support for Solr index level authorization is under way.

Date of last release:

 2013-09-25

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
