Traffic Control

21 Feb 2024 [Eric Friedrich / Willem]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Traffic Control is the creation and maintenance of
software related to building, monitoring, configuring, and provisioning a large
scale content delivery network (CDN)

## Project Status:
Current project status: At risk - see community health
Issues for the board: No issues

## Membership Data:
Apache Traffic Control was founded 2018-05-15 (6 years ago)
There are currently 31 committers and 19 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Steve Hamrick on 2023-02-07.
- No new committers. Last addition was Abdulrahman Elawady on 2023-09-21.

## Project Activity:
Traffic Control 8 was release on Jan 30, 2024. This included the following
features:
 - Client Certificate Authentication for the control API
 - Origin connection count limitation
 - New Role based permissions to enable key rotation specific users
 - OAuth for user login to web portal

There is no currently planned next release. As a community we'll be evaluating
what the next steps are given the exit of many of the active contributors.

## Community Health:
The Traffic Control community is currently in a state of flux. A large number
of active contributors with a shared employer have recently stopped
participation in the project. Since that time, the number of commits has
dropped drastically (down 90%). However, we passed a Roll Call vote and were
able to successfully vote on a release. This shows that we still have enough
engagement from PMC members to stay as an active TLP project. We will now be
discussing ways to refocus the project to better address the needs and goals
of the active participants.

- Abdulrahman Elawady was added as committer on 2023-09-21

## Project Activity:
A release vote for Traffic Control 8.0.0 is currently open. Another RC will
likely be coming next week. This release includes:
 - Update to new client API v5
 - Many small bug fixes and enhancements


## Community Health:
Community Health is currently good. Participation is also good - we sponsored
a Google Summer of Code project this past summer, resulting in a new
committer. This GSoC project also widened the number of caches Traffic Control
integrates with.

Velocity on traffic control is slowing somewhat (PRs merged down about 20% in
the last quarter), partly because the project is reaching maturity and partly
because some contributors are moving on to other projects.

## Community Health:
 Community health is currently fair. The #traffic-control ASF Slack channel is
 fairly active. Most day to day development discussion occurs within Github
 Issues/PRs. We're also proud to be sponsoring our first Google Summer of Code
 project this summer. Development is primarily occurring at one company,
 although the user base is widespread. No undue influence, but if the primary
 employer were to change directions the project's health would be at risk.

The community completed a minor 5.1 release (March 11, 2021) and a bug fix
5.1.1 release (April 1, 2021). Development is well underway for the 6.0 major
release currently targeted to begin release candidates in July.

The next release will include the replacement of an unmaintained dependency
(Riak NoSQL DB) by Postgres, already a heavily used component of the project.

The community also completed the long in-progress conversion of our perl based
configuration application into a much more extensible and performant Go based
application.

In the last 3 months, we registered just under 200 new commits from 25
different contributors, many of which are not yet committers.


## Community Health:
In the last 3 months, we added one new PMC member.

The community is healthy.  Overall the community remains healthy even though
the majority of contributions are primarily coming from one company with a
small number of contributions coming from others.  We continue to see new
users join our community and set up Traffic Control, however we still struggle
to turn them into contributors.

Finally, this is my first board report as PMC Chair. The community sends
gratitude to Dave Neuman for guiding Traffic Control through its first three
years.

## Project Activity:
The community worked hard to get our 4.1.1 and 5.0 release candidates tested
and released.  We had some discussion about our next release and decided we
would try to do a quick 5.1 release to address a few minor bugs and then plan
on a 6.0 release in the spring.

Our Traffic Ops working groups spent a fair amount of time cleaning up old
issues in Github which allowed us to get a good sense for things that we need
to revisit and things that are no longer valid.

We recently merged a PR to make ATC a go module.

the project is currently very active.

## Community Health:
We added a new committer, Zach Hoffman!
We had a single day track as part of ApacheCon @ Home.  By all accounts this
was successful and the community was extremely excited that we were able to
get together, even if it was remotely.  We continue to see new users starting
to use our project which is encouraging however, we are still figuring out how
to get them to also be contributors.

this year, which was a great accomplishment for the community.  We are hoping
to have our next release out before ApacheCon. We have scheduled a one day
track for ApacheCon and the community is looking forward to it.  The community
is hopeful that we can get as much out of the online format as we do in
person.

## Community Health:
The community continues to be challenged in finding diversity, especially in
terms of contributors.  We continue to see new users joining the community and
we are retaining the users we have, but it seems as if the types of users that
are coming to the project are not the ones that contribute back.  We continue
to discuss ways that we can encourage more contribution for our user base.  We
still feel like we have a healthy community despite the continued lack of
diversity.

for Traffic Control containing over a year's worth of development. The

4.1 version of Traffic Control is already available for review. The community
is starting to plan the 5.0 release, targeting the end of Q2 for our first
release candidate.

ATC 4.0 release candidate is out for vote.  We are up to RC4 and have been
getting good feedback on our releases. Our ATC Robots working group - designed
to discuss ATC automation - had it's first meeting.  The Traffic Control
working group has been working on defining our 3.0 API which will be
implemented in a future release. The working groups are doing a good job of
following up on list after their meetings.

## Community Health:
The communinity health is good.  We seem to be getting a lot of good

more people active in our community.

The community is healthy! We have definitely seen the "post summit bump" where
the community gets re-invested after a conference/summit that has lead us to
having more contributions and activity on the mailing lists.  We are starting
to become more mature as a community by agreeing to get better at how we do
releases and working towards a more consistent cadence.

## Description:
The mission of Apache Traffic Control is the creation and maintenance of
software related to building, monitoring, configuring, and provisioning a large
scale content delivery network (CDN)

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Membership Data:
Apache Traffic Control was founded 2018-05-15 (a year ago)
There are currently 24 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 8:5.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Derek Gelinas on 2019-03-17.
- Jonathan Gray was added as committer on 2019-06-12
- Brennan Fieck was added as committer on 2019-07-26

## Project Activity:
- Planned a Content Delivery Track for ApacheCon NA
- Agreed to do a 3.1 release before our next major release.  This release will
 contain fixes for some regressions found in the 3.0.1 release as well as
 some key performance improvements made since the 3.0.1 release was made.
- There has been a lot of discussion around a few new features, github
 milestones, and LTS for our releases
- We have also agreed that it is time to start planning our next major
 release, but we haven't nailed down a scope yet.

## Community Health:
The community is healthy. We have less commits and code contributors since our
last report, but we have had an increase in issues closed.  This is due to
some of our key committers working on larger features and our community being
focused on product stability over new features.  We also switched to a squash
and merge strategy for pull requests, which leads to less overall commits.

We have had conversations with several new users which is encouraging for the
overall diversity of our communities.

We are looking forward to having to getting the community together at
ApacheCon which always helps to inject enthusiasm into the project.

See below for specifics on mailing list and github activity:
- dev@trafficcontrol.apache.org had a 21% decrease in traffic in the past
 quarter (167 emails compared to 209)
- 96 commits in the past quarter (-35% decrease)
- 16 code contributors in the past quarter (-51% decrease)
- 138 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (6% increase)

## Description:

- Apache Traffic Control can be used to build, monitor, configure, and
  provision a large-scale content delivery network (CDN).

## Issues:

- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
 - Held our annual fall summit in Denver in October, which had over 30

18 Jul 2018 [David Neuman / Brett]

## Description:
 - Apache Traffic Control can be used to build, monitor, configure, and
   provision a large-scale content delivery network (CDN).

## Issues:
- How can we fix our committee health score?
  [https://reporter.apache.org/chi.py#trafficcontrol]
- No other issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:

- Announced the 2.2 release of Traffic Control
- Started working on finalizing scope and a Release Manager for 3.0
- There has been some discussion around PMC vs Committer and how to best allow
  our committers to perform releases without being PMC. As a new TLP this is
  something that we need to work out.

## Health report:
 - The project is healthy.

## PMC changes:

 - Currently 13 PMC members.
 - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months

## Committer base changes:

 - Currently 18 committers.
 - No changes (the PMC was established in the last 3 months)

## Releases:

 - apache-trafficcontrol-2.2.0 was released on Mon Jun 25 2018

## Mailing list activity:

 - Overall mailing list activity seems to be pretty consistent over the last
   month.  We tend to use dev@ more heavily than other lists, maybe we should
   consider using users@ a little more.

 - users@trafficcontrol.apache.org:
    - 95 subscribers (up 7 in the last 3 months)
    - only 1 email sent over the last month (compared to 7 in the current
      month prior)
    - most of our communication happens on dev@, perhaps we can get better at
      using the users list.

 - dev@trafficcontrol.apache.org:
    - 93 subscribers (up 4 in the last 3 months)
    - 77 emails sent to the list (up about 5% from the last month)

 - issues@trafficcontrol.apache.org:
    - 29 subscribers (up 0 in the last 3 months)
    - > 1000 emails over the last month (actually a 1% decrease)
    - This list is primarily automated emails from github so statistics are
      not too interesting

 - summits@trafficcontrol.apache.org:
    - 6 subscribers (up 0 in the last 3 months)
    - this list is meant for users to submit CFPs for summits, therefore it is
      hardly used.


## GitHub activity:
 - 93 Pull requests submitted in the last 30 days
 - 85 Pull Requests merged in the last 30 days
 - 27 issues created in the last 30 days
 - 23 issues closed in the last 30 days
 - 205 stars on the Traffic Control repo

## Commit activity:
 - >8,500 lines of code changed
 - 235 commits in the last 30 days
 - 16 authors in the last 30 days

Traffic Control is a set of components that can be used to build, monitor,
configure, and provision a large scale content delivery network (CDN).

Traffic Control has been incubating since 2016-07-12.

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

1. A successful graduation vote by project community
2. A successful graduation vote by the IPMC
3. A successful acceptance of our graduation resolution by the apache board

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 (January 2018)?

Since January the Traffic Control community has worked on the following:
* Getting Traffic Control 2.1 released
* Getting Traffic Control 2.2 ready for release candidates
* Supporting new users with installing and configuring traffic control
* Tie up loose ends and prepare ourselves for graduation
* Planning a spring summit to be held April 2018 in Boston, MA

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Since the last report (January 2018), we have

 * Merged 199 Pull Requests with 673 commits from 27 unique contributors

Traffic Control is a set of components that can be used to build, monitor,
configure, and provision a large scale content delivery network (CDN).

Traffic Control has been incubating since 2016-07-12.

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

1. Enhance automation to make it easier to build, install, and configure each
component. 2. Improve documentation to ease ramp-up time for new community
members and make it easier for existing community members to find what they
are looking for. 3. Complete at least two releases without license issues.

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 (October 2017)?

We held a fall summit in October in Atlanta.  This summit was attended by over
20 participants from 5 different companies.  The discussions were great and we
made sure to take any discussion that could potentially affect the community
to the mailing lists.

We cleaned up our mentors a bit by removing a few mentors who have asked to be
removed and/or have not contributed at all.

We have seen a few new users join our community, and our community has done a
good job of helping the new users get Traffic Control up and running.

The community has been working hard to get a new release out, which will be
Traffic Control 2.1.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Since the last report (October 2017), we have

 * Merged 218 Pull Requests with 392 commits from 34 contributors
 * Opened 135 Github issues
 * Closed 70 Github issues
 * 233 emails sent by 36 people on the dev@ list
 * 25 emails sent by 12 people on the users@ list

How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own
commentary.

We have started discussions about graduation and we all agree that we should
try to focus on graduating in 2018.  As we see it, the biggest hurdles we
still face are: 1) Getting releases through the incubator without licensing
issues - we would like to be able to get at least two releases through without
licensing issues. 2) Removing dependencies with incompatible licenses;
specifically JSON.org and jdnssec
(https://github.com/dblacka/jdnssec-tools/blob/master/licenses/java-dnssec-tools-LICENSE.txt)
- our plan is to have these two mitigated by the end of Q1 2018.

     I started during the first release, and at this time there was nearly no
     communication on the list. We increased the list traffic last month over 100%
     but there is still a load of work to do.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:

  David Fisher: I want to note that Raphael is stepping up efforts as Mentor
  to really help the Weex community. Seems to be effective.

Traffic Control allows you to build a large scale content delivery network
using open source.

Traffic Control has been incubating since 2016-07-12.

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

 1. Enhance automation to facilitate committer voting on new releases.
 2. Enhance documentation to ease ramp-up time for new community members.
 3. Grow the community.

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



How has the community developed since the last report?

 Several new people have become active on the project. A 2 week hackathon
 was organized to on-board some new contributors from Qwilt.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Traffic Control 1.8 was released on 3/7/2017 after a lot of cleanup of
 licenses and dependencies! Traffic Control 2.0 is converging on the first

Traffic Control allows you to build a large scale content delivery network
using open source.

Traffic Control has been incubating since 2016-07-12.

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

 1. Licenses and legal details. Traffic Control is a project made up of
    several different components, and includes or depends on an extensive
    list of software. We are working on making sure all source files have
    the right headers, all the licenses of included software are compatible
    and the LICENSE and NOTICE are correct.
 2. Enhance automation to facilitate committer voting on new releases.
 3. Enhance documentation to ease ramp-up time for new community members.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:

   Drew Farris (shepherd): Still getting off the ground, mailing lists are
     new. No observable mentor activity.

   Phil Sorber (mentor): There were some struggles getting all the legal ducks
     in a row but that's all complete now so expect decent uptick in activity.

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

 See above issue 1.

 Established apache.org accounts for all of the initial committers.

Date of last release:

 We released 1.6.0 on 2016-07-29 under the old process, because the release
 process (candidates and votes) had already started before our official
 entry in the incubator. We have started release 1.7.0 under the old process
 as well, since we don't have the necessary ASF infrastructure in place, and
 this is pending the SGA.
