Skywalking is an APM (application performance monitor), especially for
microservice, Cloud Native and container-based architecture systems. Also
known as a distributed tracing system. It provides an automatic way to
instrument applications: no need to change any of the source code of the
target application; and an collector with an very high efficiency streaming
module.
SkyWalking has been incubating since 2017-12-08.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. IP clearance. [RESOLVED]
3. First ASF release. (SkyWalking 5.0) [RESOLVED]
3. Further ASF culture and processes. [RESOLVED]
4. 5.x releases are stable for product, and have 5 open end users, at
least. [RESOLVED]
5. Support multiple languages agents/SDKs. [RESOLVED]
6. Integration with other pupolar OSS systems. Zipkin data format
supported. [RESOLVED]
7. Clear Brand issues with other ecosystem projects. [RESOLVED]
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Have six Apache releases already. 5.0.0-alpha, 5.0.0-beta, 5.0.0-beta2,
5.0.0-RC2, 5.0.0-GA, 6.0.0-alpha, 6.0.0-beta, 6.0.0-GA
There are several related projects and GitHub org in SkyWalking
ecosystem, before or during project joined the ASF incubator, such as
.net, node.js and php agents, they were using skywalking-* prefix in
project name and releases, which may cause brand issue.
We have fixed these. All skywalking-* have been renamed to skyapm-*, old
releases with skywalking- removed(maybe not necessary).
Old existing GitHub orgs, including OpenSkywalking, OpenSkywalkingTest,
SkywalkingContrib, have been renamed to SkyAPM, SkyAPMTest or
removed(SkywalkingContrib).
Another brand related issue is `skywalking` in DockerHub, including some
binary releases, which have been removed and moved to ASF Infra
- https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/skywalking-base
- https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/skywalking-oap-server
- https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/skywalking-ui
All of these are only including the approved releases.
All known brand issues have been addressed and solved. Be good for the
graduation.
How has the community developed since the last report?
1. SkyWalking is working with Envoy community, trying to contribute a new
service mesh probe.
2. Lang Li, Yixiong and Jinlin Fu Cao have been voted and joined as
committer.
3. Yao Wang and Jian Tan have been voted and joined as PPMC
4. There are 92 people to contribute codes to our main repo. 18 more than
the last report.
5 Over 60 companies have confirmed they are using SkyWalking
through issue report, our powered-by page or through our ecosystem pages.
How has the project developed since the last report?
There has been over 100 commits by more than 27 contributors in the three
months.
In 6.1.0(in developing) release milestones, there are 81 issues and pull
requests solved.

Comments: 'issues to address' probably doesn't need to be so
technical, the board can presume technical momentum by release
frequency and new committers. Graduation is more dependent on the
ASF community dynamics. Adding the new committers for example.

aware of?

Skywalking is an APM (application performance monitor), especially for
microservice, Cloud Native and container-based architecture systems. Also
known as a distributed tracing system. It provides an automatic way to
instrument applications: no need to change any of the source code of the
target application; and an collector with an very high efficiency streaming
module.
SkyWalking has been incubating since 2017-12-08.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. IP clearance.
3. First ASF release. (SkyWalking 5.0)
3. Further ASF culture and processes.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be

Some GPL compile-time library dependencies were removed from the default
maven reactor. Related plugin components to the project can still be built
if the GPL dependencies are manually downloaded.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Added a number of established committers to the PPMC,
as it the norm in the Incubator.
Improved understanding of usage of the Apache trademark, it use with
the project, and avoiding ASF explicit announcements during incubation.
Community reaches out to press@apache.org whenever uncertain.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The project website has been uploaded to its new location at
http://skywalking.incubator.apache.org/
Code wise the project has good momentum.
There has been ~40 pull requests opened and accepted, and 191 commits,
