### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
StreamPipes is a self-service (Industrial) IoT toolbox to enable non-
technical users to connect, analyze and explore (Industrial) IoT data
streams.
StreamPipes has been incubating since 2019-11-11.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Multiple Apache releases
2. Grow the developer community
3. Attract more users
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
There are no issues right now.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
- We have two accepted talks for the ApacheCon @Home, one about flexible
Industrial IoT Management and one joint talk with PLC4X about data
analyzing with PLC4X and StreamPipes
- StreamPipes was elected for the AI-Champions Award (awarded by the
German state of Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), which created more visibility
in the IIoT domain
- New users have joined the mailing list, and there is an increasing
amount of traffic on the dev mailing list
- We had several remote training sessions to show users how to use
StreamPipes
- We are updating the documentation for a better overview over all
features of StreamPipes and a better onboarding for new users
(https://s.apache.org/8rfq8 <https://s.apache.org/8rfq8>)

improvement for the code base, because new changes and features are now
much easier to accomplish. This especially improves experience for new
developers.
- Created release branch and perform final testing for our second release
(version 0.67.0), with around 70 bug fixes/improvements/new features
- New Features:
- Add Data Explorer to explore historic data

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
There are no issues right now.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
In the past three months, the community developed rather well: New users
appeared on the mailing lists, and we were able to elect the first
external committers. The mailing list activity has increased and many
discussions on development-related tasks were done on the developer
mailing list. Overall, we feel that the community is more and more
following the Apache way.
Some specific community development activities include:
- We updated the wiki with developer information, getting started guides
and step-by-step manuals for release management (see
https://s.apache.org/ocz7t)
- Updated website to include better overview of existing pipeline elements
- Intensified work with manufacturing company to use StreamPipes for IIoT
analytics
- We published a blog post on how to run StreamPipes on Kubernetes, we now
plan to publish blog posts at regular intervals
- Added "communication channels & strategy" page in the wiki and gathered
potential communication channels in close exchange with our mentors
planning to intensify community growth
- Took part in webinar series about open source for small and medium
sized companies (video on YouTube, currently only in German)
- Number of Twitter followers increased (last report: 103, currently: 128)
- Number of Github stars increased (last report: 109, currently: 144)
### How has the project developed since the last report?
- We successfully released our first official Apache release (version
0.66.0) including several improvements (see release notes
https://s.apache.org/2grsk), to name the most prominent changes:
completely new dashboard and notification design in UI, more pipeline
elements and improved connectors
- Many new pipeline elements have been added by newly elected committers
- Both documentation and website were improved in order to increase the
adoption of Apache StreamPipes and grow the user base
In the next month, we plan to add better support for edge computing and
improve the UI.

Yes, we started to prepare a wiki page to develop a communication
strategy, which also includes brand management. The next step is to
create a new logo that will be voted on by the community. We are
constantly monitoring the usage of the Apache StreamPipes name in
external websites and posts.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
Although our priority in the last reporting period was on finishing the
initial setup, there are some notable things regarding community
development:
- A few new people appeared on the mailing list expressing their interest
to contribute to StreamPipes
- First pull requests from an external committer were merged
- Many users appeared on the Slack channel or sent emails and asked
questions around the installation/usage of StreamPipes, we hope that some
of them will consider to contribute in the future
- We met people from two companies and talked about the possibility to
contribute to StreamPipes
- The number of Twitter followers has increased (currently at 94)
- The number of Github stars has increased (currently at 102)
Community development will be the focus of the next reporting period.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We finished the initial setup:
* The website is now online at streampipes.apache.org, and we added pages
that explain how to participate in the project
* All Git repos were transferred to the ASF
* Setup of several CI/CD pipelines based on Github Actions to build the
website and code
* Setup of a CI/CD pipeline in the ASF Jenkins to publish snapshots to
the ASF Nexus
* Finished setup of Jira and migrated old issues from the previous Gitlab
to Jira
* Finished setup of the StreamPipes Confluence space and moved existing
content to Confluence
* Currently, we are finishing a license review to properly create LICENSE
and NOTICE files
* Having completed the initial setup, we are now shifting the focus back
to feature development
In the next month, we plan to work towards the first Apache release and

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Justin Mclean: There is more to managing the brand than just having
the project name approved.
StreamPipes is a self-service (Industrial) IoT toolbox to enable non-
technical users to connect, analyze and explore (Industrial) IoT data
streams.
StreamPipes has been incubating since 2019-11-11.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Finish the initial setup
2. Make a first Apache release
3. Grow the community
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
There are no issues right now.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
All initial committers have subscribed to the new mailing list.
We started to spread the project on Twitter and other channels to
reach more potential community members, but currently, the main priority
is to move the project infrastructure to Apache.
There was also one event focused on extending the developer base:
* We gave a talk at a meetup on "Self-Service IoT Data Analytics with
StreamPipes" (~70 participants)
### How has the project developed since the last report?
This is the first report after StreamPipes joined the incubator on
November 11th.
Most work during the last month was focused around setting up StreamPipes
and doing some legal paperwork to transition StreamPipes to Apache:
* Creation of mailing lists
* Setting up the new StreamPipes Jira
* We made a last pre-Apache release and started to refactor our code
(restructuring the code base to reflect the new repository structure)
* The website and documentation is already moved to Apache Git
repositories,
and a draft is online at streampipes.apache.org, however, we need to wait
to "announce" the web page and forward traffic from the existing
domains untilthe Git repos are all transferred
* All initial committers have signed and submitted their ICLAs
* FZI has submitted a CCLA and donated the initial code base to Apache
* Right now, we are waiting to transfer our existing Git repos from the
streampipes organization to the Apache organization on Github
* We are also waiting to get admin access to the StreamPipes instance on
Jira to import existing issues to the new issue tracker

We would really like to thank our mentors. Chris was very helpful and
responsive in setting up the infrastructure, and all questions we had
on the mailing list were answered immediately by our mentors.
### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
* We initiated an initial podling name search and created a ticket to get
the name approved in Jira (November 25th).
* The name "Apache StreamPipes" got approved by VP Brand Management on
December, 12th
