Community-led development "The Apache Way"
This was extracted (@ 2020-11-18 21:10) 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).
TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.
TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1.Keep growing the community, attract more contributors and committers
2.Release Apache standard releases regularly
3.Continuously improve system performance and increase system features
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
We hope more IPMCs will pay attention to our project and give more
suggestions.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Since the last report, the TubeMQ community has attracted many real users
who have given feedback to the project many bugs,
and enthusiastic contributors have made multilingual SDK contributions to
the project and successfully applied them in the actual environment;
the community periodically releases iteratively to provide stable and
easy-to-use new features.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
This stage is mainly for the development and implementation of
multi-language SDKs: the C/C++ SDK delivery has been completed;
at the same time, SDKs for Go, Python, Rust and other languages are under
development. In addition to the new features of the multi-language SDKs,
the project initiated the development of the tubemq-manager module for
cross-cluster control to make the project more usable;

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
dockerzhang was added as committer on 2020-07-13
### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
The mentors gave us a lot of help and guidance at the beginning of the
project, but as the project deepened,
the mentors paid less attention. We hope that the mentors can continue to
pay attention to
the development of our project and continue to provide help and
suggestions to the project.
### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
Yes, all good here.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
JM: I think if you move some of your GitHub traffic off the dev list and
had more discussions there it would help with mentor engagement.

## TVM
TVM is a full stack open deep learning compiler stack for CPUs, GPUs, and
specialized accelerators. It aims to close the gap between the
productivity- focused deep learning frameworks, and the performance- or
efficiency- oriented hardware backends.

The community actively works to resolve the items under the guide of the
Apache maturity model.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
A lot of improvements have been made. Including automatic scheduling,
better documentations, command line support

is being prepared, we will release the first version recently.

### 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?
At this stage, no community activities were initiated, but we internally
initiated
a vote for the project committer and selected the first committer of the
project.
I believe this will promote the subsequent development of the project
community.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project is nearing completion of the migration to the Apache
incubator:
at this stage, we have completed the change of the project's package
name, the standardization of file's LICENSE, and the launch of the project
home page but the documentation and project home page content relatively
lacking, this part needs to be improved in the next stage.

Towards migrating to Apache incubator, we submitted SGA, builded home

We are leading everyone to communicate via email, Jira(not just IM).

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Bootstrap the Apache project and migrate repos to Apache.

Needs mentors and IPMCs to help to bootstrap the project and follow the
Apache way to grow the community.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Currently the project is still on migrating, because of the migrating
gap, there's 60+ GH issues and 80+ GH PRs submitted,
and over 25 contributors on this project, but this was not happened in
Apache JIRA/repo, we will migrate them soon.
Also We hosted 3 meetups to promote this project.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Towards migrating to Apache incubator, like building home pages, launch
first Apache release.

I would be happy to help.
### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Junping Du: The project get bootstrap a bit late due to misunderstanding
on Champion role of the project. The email list and JIRA are setup just
recently, so contributors and committers are still learning how to
communicate through JIRA and dev alias - it takes time but things are
getting better.
Justin Mclean: Your mentors can't help if you don't communicate on the
dev list. Your number one aim should be to move communication on list and
work with your mentors in the open to complete the bootstrap process. This
is the PPMC responsibility not just the mentors or the IPMC as mentioned in
the issues. Several mentors and IPMC requests have gone unanswered, please
make sure these are responded to.
Dave Fisher: It is important that PPMC Members drive the move with the
help of active Mentors. I feel that Junping is in a dual role but is less
experienced. Justin and JBO are the experienced mentors that will need to
step in with the guidance. Two months in including the year end holidays
the podling is actually doing OK.
