This was extracted (@ 2024-11-20 22:10) 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.
WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
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).
Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
access Apache Spark.
Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Increase active contributors
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
None
### How has the community developed since the last report?
The community saw a boost in activity working on the
bringup of support for Apache Spark 3.3 and Scala 2.13 which
culminate in a new committer, but after that it went back to
regular activity flow of a stable/mature project.
We still see much of the users asking questions in the gitter channel
rather than using the mailing lists.
The discussion around retirement process was stopped with the boost in
community activity.
The Apache Toree project recently had two presentations at the
European Community over Code conference, drawing a good audience. The
attendees showed great interest, posing several questions. This indicates
the community should look into opportunities for us to further promote
awareness of the project.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Most of the remaining tasks related to Apache Spark 3.3 and Scala 2.13
are completed and comunity should start planning next release.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
With the release of Apache Toree 0.5.0-incubating we have had a few
questions about the removal of the support for Python/R and we have
explained the reason before that a couple more times.
We still see much of the users asking questions in the gitter channel
rather than using the mailing lists.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
After support for Scala 2.12 and Spark 3.x we will need to start looking
ahead for supporting Scala 2.13.x as some users have been already asking
for that on the project gitter channel.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
--------------------
## Training
The Training project aims to develop resources which can be used for
training purposes in various media formats, languages and for various
Apache and non-Apache target projects.
Training has been incubating since 2019-02-21.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Restart the Community
2. Start doing releases
3. Make Apache Training more well known
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Currently the activity dropped to an all-time low. We even missed a number
of reports. We had a discussion on the mailinglist, if we should aim for
giving up, however the responses encouraged us to give it a new try and we
are currently trying to restart the project as there is indeed some
interest in the project.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
It hasn't developed well, but we're hoping to change that with few players
willing to participate more recently.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We had one talk at ApacheCon NA 2022 and it was pretty well attended …
however not very many new folks showed up here.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
We added a new Mentor (@Weiwei Yang) which gave Toree an injection
of new blood and ability to move votes quicker.
We have a few new enhancement patches and questions on the project, and
overall
Toree, which is sort of in a mature state, continued in a regular flow.

## Training
The Training project aims to develop resources which can be used for
training purposes in various media formats, languages and for various Apache
and non-Apache target projects.
Training has been incubating since 2019-02-21.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Restart the Community
2. Start doing releases
3. Make Apache Training more well known
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
As mentioned in the previous reports, activity in the Training project has
been very low. There was nearly no mailing list activity in the first
quarter, and virtually no commits.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
In April, one of the mentors (cdutz) launched a discussion on the mailing
list to see what the community wanted to do with the project. Together, we
brought up some ideas why the initial enthusiasm for Training materials
has sputtered out.
Some of the ideas to make the project more relevant and build community
include:
- maintaining presence and visiblity as in-person conferences return,
- encourage conversation and brainstorming about effective presentation
resources on the dev website,
- changing our focus to include self-learning resources for Apache
projects, and
- building and publishing Training web artifacts on the project website.
Even if it seems that we haven't yet found a clear and compelling niche,
the existing community is willing to continue work to see where we can
improve.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Specific work on showcasing web artifacts on the Training project website
has started, as a quick win to demonstrate the project value.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
Not much, the community has been trying to vote a release without much
success.
I am starting to think that maybe the best solution might be to try to
reboot
the podling and see if we can inject more new blood to the project and
see if
it could make a change. I will think more about this and propose something
for the next report.

Comments: I mostly agree with the assessment that Toree is near
graduation, but is not very active. The community has
demonstrated it is capable of making releases, adding
new committers & PPMC members, and welcoming new
members. My only criticism is how much discussion is
taking place on gitter rather than the dev list. That
makes it difficult to keep up, but I think it is
important to let this community hold discussions in
the forum that makes sense for it instead of trying
to make it fit the mold.

Does the community plan to do another release? It's been nearly a
year since the last. With a "slow, but steady stream of issues and
PRs" I suspect that some of those contributors would like to get a
released version with their contributions. For this community, it
may be a good idea to consider time-based releases to ensure that
contributors get to use their contributions in an official release.
### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely access Apache Spark. Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Active community 2. Increase active contributors ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? None ### How has the community developed since the last report? Toree will have a talk at ApacheCon Las Vegas where we will talk about its overall status and current functionality as well as try to attract more users and in particular contributors. After the release of Toree 0.3.0 the community slowed down, mostly due to Toree being somewhat stable and running on top of Spark, where the public APIs in use are also stable. The community needs to work on a release that supports Apache Spark 2.4.x and Scala 2.12. Toree might be one of those low activity projects which have enough active PPMCs (see last ppmc voting thread), and we might start graduation talks based on these facts. ### How has the project developed since the last report? Very little activity on the last few months after the Toree 0.3.0 release, mostly around some compatibility issues with Spark 2.4.x and Scala 2.12. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
access Apache Spark. It enables interactive workloads between applications
and a Spark cluster. As a Jupyter Notebook extension, it provides the user
with a preconfigured environment for interacting with Spark using Scala,
Python, R or SQL.
Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make a release: The community is working on RC from 0.1.x branch.
Master has moved to start support for Spark 2.0. Currently working on
RC5.
2. Grow a diverse community: We should put some emphasis on growing the
community and making it diverse (the rule is at least three independent
contributors) In progress.
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?
1. Active communication in mailing list and gitter with early adopters
2. Migrated gitter to away from ibm-et/spark-kernel to apache/toree
3. More external contributions being made. Mainly focused on master to
stabilize Spark 2.0 support
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Still working on 1st release. Removed several legacy binaries from
release builds that were not in compliance with Apache release
processes. Will be starting the vote for RC5 shortly
2. Addressing issues opened by community

Unomi is a reference implementation of the OASIS Context Server specification
currently being worked on by the OASIS Context Server Technical Committee. It
provides a high-performance user profile and event tracking server.
Unomi has been incubating since 2015-10-05.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Continued releases, and updated dependencies
2. Grow up user and contributor communities, seeing more contribution/PR
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?
We are still targeting the development of the user community. For that, we
discussed about improving and polishing the website. Today, it's obvious
that it's not easy to understand what Unomi can do and actually does. The
purpose is to give more use cases and introduction on the mailing list.
Some small improvements have been performed in that way.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The second Apache Unomi 1.1.0-incubating has been released.
We updated key dependencies and provided new features in addition of the bug
fixes. We also fixed the LGPL issue in the binary distribution. The Unomi
rules and conditions engine has been improved as well.

Toree.
3. More external contributions being made
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Contrinue working with JeroMQ community to further their transition
into MPL v2 and away from LGPL. 3 committers to go.
2. Substantial effort in our build system to make Apache compliant
releases.
3. Addressing issues opened by community

Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
access Apache Spark. It enables interactive workloads between applications
and a Spark cluster. As a Jupyter Notebook extension, it provides the user
with a preconfigured environment for interacting with Spark using Scala,
Python, R or SQL.
Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Resolve LGPL dependency: This is in progress, and hopefully we will
have the dependency license changed to a license that is compatible
with AL2.
2. Make a release: nearing completion
3. Grow a diverse community: We should put some emphasis on growing the
community and making it diverse (the rule is at least three independent
contributors)
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
TOREE-262 - Progress on removal of LGPL dependency

How has the community developed since the last report?
1. Work with Jupyter community to update their docker stacks to include
the latest Toree
2. Blog post at http://www.spark.tc/announcing-apache-toree/ to announce
the incubation
3. Active communication in mailing list and gitter with early adopters
4. Work with Brunel project
(https://github.com/Brunel-Visualization/Brunel) to make technology
available on Toree
5. Still working on transitioning users from Spark Kernel project into
Toree.
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Source package have been renamed to org.apache.toree
2. All original contributors are not actively developing and fixing issues
on the apache project
3. Project can be published and installed through Pypi (only snapshot/dev
packaged made available for testing)
4. Added a plug-in framework to enable integration of 3rd party code to
add capabilities
5. Create Spark Streaming example notebook to feature many of the
capabilities of Toree in collaboration with Jupyter ecosystem
(dashboards and widgets)
6. Misc bug fixes and features
7. Actively working with JeroMQ community to further their transition into
MPL v2 and away from LGPL.
