## 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. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rb1b88b9de032f6d60efe8515d258b9dbc60bfcf2a6f95e0c063877f6%40%3Cdev.sentry.apache.org%3E ## Membership Data: Apache Sentry was founded 2016-03-15 (4 years ago) There are currently 40 committers and 38 PMC members in this project.

## 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.

## 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

Sentry has been incubating since 2013-08-08.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Review PPMC election policy, if committers will become PPMC on
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

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
P. Taylor Goetz:
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
regarding project direction.

processes.
