Community-led development "The Apache Way"
This was extracted (@ 2022-04-20 15:10) 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).
## Description: The mission of Apache TVM is the creation and maintenance of software related to compilation of machine learning models to run on a wide range of hardware platforms ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache TVM was founded 2020-11-17 (a year ago) There are currently 52 committers and 21 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:3. Community changes, past quarter: - Leandro Nunes was added to the PMC on 2022-03-01 - Andrew Luo was added as committer on 2022-01-11 - Bohan Hou was added as committer on 2022-01-06 - Chris Sullivan was added as committer on 2022-02-22 - Lily Orth-Smith was added as committer on 2022-02-28 - Eric Lunderberg was added as committer on 2021-12-17 ## Project Activity: Recent releases: 0.8.0 was released on 2021-11-25. The community continues to push TVM Unity -- the technical vision that we collectively set during TVMCon. Specifically with an emphasize on enabling collaboration and cross layer optimizations. Some of the recent highlights include: - Metaschedule, the latest automation mechanism is now fully upstreamed. - AOT compilation support for embedded devices - Hexagon DSP support - Overall performance improvements. ## Community Health: The community successfully held a virtual developer conference TVMCon in the past Dec. TVMCon attracted more than 1000 registered developers from all over the world. On average 200 PRs are merge every month from around 80 authors. We also start to see new features being proposed through the formal RFC process. We continue to welcome new committers and PMC members to the community.

Community changes, past quarter: - Andrew Reusch was added to the PMC on 2021-11-21 - Chris Sidebottom was added as committer on 2021-11-23 There are also ongoing nominations. ## Project Activity: Last release: 0.8.0 was released on 2021-11-25. The community works very hard to complete the 0.8.0 release. There are a lot of active development activities over the past quarter. Including, but not limited to: - Better TE, TIR, TVMScript support - More frontends (Paddle paddle) - Stablizing AutoScheduler - Stablizing Target system - TensorIR and meta-schedule support - TVMC and microTVM improvements - Improved Vulkan backend ## Community Health: The community has been receiving healthy contributions. Monthly about 70 authors contributing 150 commits. The community RFC process also starts to pick momentum, receiving RFCs from various contributors. We will hold the annual community conference TVMCon next week. This year we have one day tutorial and two days of talks with broad participation from both industry and academia.

Community changes, past quarter: - Cody Yu was added to the PMC on 2021-07-13 - Junru Shao was added to the PMC on 2021-07-08 - Giuseppe Rossini was added as committer on 2021-09-04 - Manupa Karunaratne was added as committer on 2021-08-26 - Siyuan Feng was added as committer on 2021-09-04 ## Project Activity: Last release: 2020-10-09 The community starts the 0.8 release planning process. This release is going to contain a few major reworks of the TVM's internal architecture and bring next set of improvements. The project have been quite healthy and maintains the rate of 210 commits per month. Recent highlights include: - TensorIR scheduling system close to land in a month. - New frontend support: Oneflow, Paddle - Project API for micro tvm. - Automatic mixed precision support to enable customized floating points such as fp16. ## Community Health: We continue to bring new people from different organizations as committers and PMC members. The new RFC process(apache/tvm-rfcs) is now in-place. Overall the community reacted positively to the new RFC process as it allows more people to participate in the design proposal phase of the architecture. We also start to see a lot of collaborations around RFC discussions. The community also start to take a stab in improving code review process by update the review guidelines to contain more recommendations around code convention, documentation and consensus building. The proposed guideline improvements is voted and set to be incorporated into the contributor guide.

We continue to bring new people from different organizations as committers and PMC members. In our particular case, the PMC members follows only nominates people who are outside their own organization, encourage identification of candidates who are actively participating per apache way. The community members also continues to participate in design and general discussions Additionally, the community has voted to use a new RFC process that sends formal RFCs to a separate repo apache/tvm-rfcs after broad discussion among the community members.

The community discussed about start experimenting a new RFC mechanism that opens pull request to a separate github repo (apache/tvm-rfcs, whose pull requests will be mirrored to dev@). This would allow reviews and tracking of the RFC more easily. Additionally, there are quite a few engaged discussion about the Device API, micro controller support, and Torchscript integeration. The community members also give talks in major workshops. The PMC is actively discussing new candidates for PMC and committership.

Meetups and Conferences: - Annual developer conference(see the community health) ## Community Health: Overall community health is good. The amount of PRs drop to 100 (was 150) monthly. But this is expected due to the holiday season. Followed by a successful announcement of the TLP. The community successfully held a three day virtual developer conference (https://tvmconf.org/) on Dec 2-4. Nearly 1000 people registered. The conference attracted talks from major industry users, such as AMD, ARM, AWS, Qualcomm, OctoML, Xilinx, Alibaba, Huawei, and academic contributors from UW, UC Berkeley, Cornell, UCLA, Beihang University. During the conference, the community celebrated the apache way and talked about their applications and contributions to the Apache TVM.

This has been a great year for us doing the Apache way and grow the
community.
The community has grown 70% in terms of number of contributors and
committers,
while these statistics do not necessarily indicate success, they suggest
we are on the right track.

Justin Mclean: I think it may be a little too early to consider
graduation. Has the podling filling the the optional maturity model,
doing so may point out when there's still more work to do.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher: This already busy project and community is just getting
started in the Incubator.
They look to be on the right track. They have some resources which may
require a VM.
I suggested that they reach out to Infra on Slack for some answers.
It's good to see mentor engagement.

3. Continue to grow the community
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?

- The development conversations are mirrored to dev@
- TVM community has welcomed two new committers in the past month

NOTE: due to the transition, the vote of the new committers were done in
the pre-apache PMC private list with our mentors as observers.
We are doing procedural votes to bring these committers formally to
Apache soon.
