## Description: The mission of Apache Streams is the creation and maintenance of software related to interoperability of online profiles and activity feeds ## Project Status: Current project status: Dormant Issues for the board: none. A couple of directors showed interest in details of project management recently, including a motion to send the project to the attic without a roll call. This kicked off a thread where 4 PMCs (and counting) and other community members responded, which we hope will serve as a de facto roll call, demonstrating that there is sufficient PMC oversight, and the board can let the PMC continue to manage the project. ## Membership Data: Apache Streams was founded 2017-07-18 (7 years ago) There are currently 9 committers and 9 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Brian Hodge on 2020-06-18. - No new committers. Last addition was Brian Hodge on 2020-05-04. ## Project Activity: .6.1 was released on 2020-03-20. 0.6.0 was released on 2018-06-28. ## Community Health: Activity was down over summer as the PMC members (who have other day jobs) focused on their families (many with young children) for summer break. We apologize for lack of board reports during this time, and have seen a (somewhat expedited in our opinion) call for us to be moved to the attic. As the internet (and world in general) moves to a 'post social media' state, we are internally debating future directions for the project (including pivoting the direction, or possibly retiring the project, the right way).

## Description: Apache Streams unifies a diverse world of digital profiles and online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes these datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and platforms for streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases. ## Issues: The project code and community has become stagnant, and with the end of Twitter's free API, there is now very little code in the project today useful enough to attract users or developers. It's been several years since the community rallied around a project, much less followed through on it, unfortunately. I (Steve) am trying very hard to change that by inspiring the community toward a new 'North Star'. ## Membership Data: Apache Streams was founded 2017-07-18 (6 years ago). There are currently 9 committers and 9 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. ## Community changes: - Brian Hodge joined PMC on 2020-04-26 - Brian Hodge became a committer on 2020-04-26 ## Project Activity: - Apache Streams 0.6.1 was released in March 2020. - The next Apache Streams release will be the first compatible with JDK11 and JDK17. - 2021 and 2022 and 2023 all had minimal commit and mailing list and discussions. - 2024 is different - there are conversations and planning underway to reboot the project in an exciting direction that should have wide appeal (see below) ## Other Comments: - Twitter's pay-walling of the free API is quite unfortunate. Streams most mature and powerful libraries and examples are all based on these APIs. - A silver lining with the turmoil at Twitter is rapidly growing interest in open alternatives based on ActivityPub ex. Mastadon. This offers the project a path to new life, as ActivityPub is based on ActivityStreams. - Addition of Pekko (incubating) to the wider community is an opportunity to clean house on the code base, switching plumbing to more suitable patterns, and supporting scala developmers natively. - The new 'North Star' under discussion is for Apache Streams to release a cloud-native ActivityPub server akin to Mastadon, but optimized for deployments to customize the experience, for the community to add new features, and able to support massive user bases. - We need to get the upgrades on our main branch released ASAP. - We need to better reach out to new users and developers to reinvigorate the project, and expand influence and awareness among the ActivityPub ecosystem. Now that we have a new exciting relevant objective this is a high priority!

@Mark: is there sufficient activity on the project?
## Description: - Apache Streams unifies a diverse world of digital profiles and online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes these datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and platforms for streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases. ## Issues: - There are a lot of changes occurring in the APIs of our supported data sources. Due primarily to the EU's GDPR legislation, a user's ability to collect profiles and posts from accounts other than the authenticated account is being limited. - On the other hand comprehensive data about the authenticated account (sometimes via bulk export not via API) is becoming richer, presenting an opportunity for the project to assist users in awareness of the data collected about them by third-parties, and with data portability between systems using bulk export archives. ## Activity: - Steve Blackmon presented initial support for social media export archives and Activity Streams 2.0 at ApacheCon NA 2018. ## Health report: Mailing list and commit participation was reduced this quarter.

## Description: - Apache Streams unifies a diverse world of digital profiles and online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes these datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and platforms for streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases. ## Issues: - There are a lot of changes occurring in the APIs of our supported data sources. Due primarily to the EU's GDPR legislation, a user's ability to collect profiles and posts from accounts other than the authenticated account is being limited. - On the other hand comprehensive data about the authenticated account (sometimes via bulk export not via API) is becoming richer, presenting an opportunity for the project to assist users in awareness of the data collected about them by third-parties, and with data portability between systems using bulk export archives. ## Activity: - We released Apache Streams 0.6.0, coordinated by a new release manager (number 5). - We made progress toward including a binary artifact in an upcoming release. ## Health report: Significant new features are expected this quarter.

On the other hand comprehensive data about the authenticated account (sometimes via bulk export not via API) is becoming richer, presenting an opportunity for the project to assist users in awareness of the data collected about them by third-parties, and with data portability between systems using bulk export archives. ## Activity: - We are preparing to release Apache Streams 0.6.0 - the first to include a binary artifact allowing users to run Streams classes from their terminal without building the project or wrapping it's modules in custom code. - We ran a comprehensive audit of dependencies (including transitive dependencies) and removed all items with undesirable licenses. The license audit now gets published to the website, and the maven plugins involved can used to help us maintain our NOTICE file. - We revamped the way that configuration details are provided to classes rather substantially, making it more flexible, powerful, and easier to understand. - The secondary apache/streams-examples repository has been integrated into apache/streams. ## Health report: Streams graduated to TLP on July 19 2017.

Apache Streams (incubating) unifies a diverse world of digital profiles and
online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes these
datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and platforms for
streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases.
Streams has been incubating since 2012-11-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Community growth and PMC maturity. 2. Demonstrate a consistent release
schedule. 3. Participation of project community within related
standards-bodies and Apache projects.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
The community has completed an internal assessment using the Apache Maturity
Model to identify gaps that should be addressed before graduation.
The community is working against a task list of graduation TODOs:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/STREAMS/Graduation+TODOs
It is likely that Streams will pursue graduation to TLP during the coming
quarter.

Getting close to termination a little over 6 months ago because of
lack of activity, the podling has remarkably revived and revitalized
itself, and IMO now is in good shape, ready to graduate.

Comments:
This podling is ready to graduate and has fulfilled all the criteria
as laid down in the Apache Maturity Model Assessment. The discussion
to graduate the podling can start off once the in progress Streams

Apache Streams (incubating) unifies a diverse world of digital profiles
and online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes
these datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and
platforms for streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases.
Streams has been incubating since 2012-11-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Community growth and PMC maturity.
2. Demonstrate a consistent release schedule.

Ate Douma:
As indicated in the report, the activity and community of the project
has dwindled down to practically zero. As a consequence I've now raised
the question on the dev list if better to retire the project. Unless
this triggers some serious activity and interest from the community, I
expect an actual vote to retire before the next board report.

# of contributors submitting and reviewing pull requests and participating

work with social datasets and highlighting the ways that adopting and
contributing to streams could provide value for their projects remains our
biggest challenge and opportunity in community growth.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Ate Douma (ate):
As reported above, mentor support has been too low, including my own.
I find the dwindling down of participation and contributions other than
from only one (very) active committer (Steve Blackmon) worrisome.
More or even primary focus should be turned towards community
development instead of only churning out code.
I've suggested some concrete steps for this and propose to give the
project a bit more time to try building up a community and more
contributor involvement. As a mentor I'll try to help out more as well.
However, if there is no substantial improvement within one or two
reporting periods, it might be better to consider retirement instead.
Timothy Chen (tnachen):
Seems like there is one active committer as mentioned, and the majority
of the mailing list activity is from JIRA and github from the same
committer as well. Also second that will need to consider retirement if
this continues.

Apache Streams (incubating) is a lightweight (yet scalable) framework for
ActivityStreams.
Streams has been incubating since 2012-11-20.
The project provides a framework for abstracting away individual data
schemas and API protocols from solutions built to collect, publish,
process, and analyze digital activity data, as well as a community-
driven process for determining best practice usage of the ActivityStreams
specification with real-world datasets - valuing working, tested,
adaptable, useful code over strict adherence to existing specs.
Importantly, the project does not impose one execution framework -
modules built to Apache Streams interfaces and coding standards may
be instantiated within multiple JVM-based runtime containers, including
popular ‘big-data' frameworks.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Establish and maintain a consistent release process.
2. Improve quality of code, tests, documentation, and examples.
3. PPMC must relieve project mentors of all responsibility for the
project's adherence to the Apache Way and long-term viability.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
No.

Since the last report we have admitted a new committer Carol Hansen, who has provided an interface for streams. We have started discussions on modules to possible incorporate into Streams, which Steve Blackmon has spearheaded. We have also received pull requests from outside developers and started a migration from svn to git. Discussions have also begun on schema clarification which is a pressing issue as the project becomes standardized. How has the project developed since the last report? A substantial commit was made by Steve Blackmon including a Twitter Firehose attachment and a Apache Storm. It has laid the ground work for additional attachments. A Lucene connector and Elastic Search connector are being planned.

We have also heard from a number of outside individuals about issues and questions related to deployment of our first incubating release. Several of these have turned into deeper relationships including the addition of Danny Sullivan as a committer/PPMC member last month. Streams is now working to create our second incubating release.
