 No.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 Since the last report, we started to reach out to people using the
 project and collect suggestions and encourage them to join in the
 community. We have found four organizations and eight projects that
 are using either the Teaclave platform and Teaclave's Rust SGX SDK.

 We also created a website for the project:
 https://teaclave.apache.org/, which contains project description,
 community, contributors, documentations and blog posts.

 We started a thread to discuss the logo design, but haven't received
 any proposal for now. We will drive this issue in the next few weeks.

 We observed more people posting feature suggestions and
 build/deployment issues. More than five new contributors begin to
 contribute bug fixes and introduce new examples.

 We started preparing the first Apache release such as logistics on
 licenses of third-party libraries.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 Since the last report, we have completed the development roadmap
 towards the first public release
 (https://github.com/apache/incubator-teaclave/issues/121) proposed
 last year. We began to put more efforts on improving documents and
 building community.

 We wrote many documents in recent weeks including:

 - Try: Tutorials on using the Teaclave platform.
 - Design: Some explanations of design choices we made.
 - Contribute: Documents on contributing to Teaclave, such as
 debugging tips and Rust development guideline.
 - Codebase: Documents for each sub-directory (i.e., libraries in
 Teaclave).
 - API Docs: Generated API documentations like APIs of Client SDK.

 We also provided more examples to help beginners to understand the
 basic usages of the projects.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 No.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 - Since last report, one external contributor has became our regular
   contributor.
 - Compared to the last report, we have seen more pull request from
   external contributors.
 - We received emails from some companies which are interested in the
   project and willing to make some contributions for the secure computing
   community.
 - Since we are mainly working on GitHub, with the help of the INFRA team,
   we can sync the notifications of GitHub with our mailing list.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 - Since last report, the whole project has been refactored to be more
   functional, as well as readable and approachable for new contributors.
 - We have rewrote the framework for implementing enclave services. Also,
   we have redesigned current services into seven core services
   including access control, authentication, execution, frontend,
management,
   scheduler, and storage service. Communication protocols between services
   are defined in protobuf.
 - RPC between services has been redesigned to supported TLS-based
   attestation.
 - We have added DCAP attestation algorithm in the platform so that people
   can deploy the system in environments without Intel's attestation service.
 - Communication between app and enclave has been also redesigned
   with better APIs.
 - All updates is currently in the `develop` branch. We plan to merge
   into `master` when main refactoring is done.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

18 Dec 2019 ¶

MesaTEE is the next-gen solution to enable general computing service for
security-critical scenarios. It will allow even the most sensitive data to
be securely processed to enable offshore businesses without leakage.

MesaTEE has been incubating since 2019-08-19.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Finish the initial setup for MesaTEE and its sub-repos.
  2. Choose a suitable name for MesaTEE and rename the repos.
  3. Make the access control mechanism and RPC framework more scalable and
  ergonomic.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

  Regarding to the CI system, we do have some problem with migrating the
  webhooks. MesaTEE definitely requires CI runs on customized hardware.
  However, the Apache INFRA team is pretty conservative on adopting novel CI
  systems which support customized hardware and self-hosted agent, such as
  Github Action, Drone etc. We observed that Apache projects depending on CI
  running on customized hardware, such as incubator-tvm, experienced
  difficulty to migrate its webhooks and was challenged several times on the
  reason of using customized hardware in CI. Besides, we observed that
  Apache Spark is using Github Action, while we are blocked on it (see
  INFRA-19381).

  The bootstrapping process seems slow due to the above problem. We have a
  temporary workaround to use our Drone CI system. It leverages a sync bot
  which automatically sync up incubator-mesatee and a testing fork and
  triggers the webook of the testing fork. For management, we force the
  developers to put the link of CI status for each PR in their PR message.
  It works, but we really desire the integration to new CI and self-hosted
  CI agents.

  For the renaming, we found a new name "Teaclave" which is not used
  anywhere.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

  MesaTEE has one more contributor this month, and merged 50+ PRs from 13
  contributors.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

  We implemented the new access control system in MesaPy, and merged into
  MesaTEE. The new access control system is much more powerful and flexible
  than traditional user/role/group based access control system, and is
  memory-safe and trusted with the help of MesaPy and MesaTEE.

  We improved the MesaTEE infrastructure to make it k8s-friendly. We
  refactored parts of the MesaTEE system and are doing on others.

  We improved the build system. We deprecated the old-fashioned Makefile,
  and only kept the cmake system.

  We figured out a temporary solution for integrating the Drone CI system
  and self-hosted agents by syncing up incubator-mesatee and testing fork,
  and triggering tests on the testing fork.

  We are improving the built-in RPC framework to use prost to automatically
  generate Rust source codes from protobuf's protocol definitions.

  We fixed a couple of bugs reported from the open source community.

  CI infrastructure. It requires R+W access to the Github organization to
  set up the webhooks. However, the INFRA team does not grant W access to
  3rd party infrastructure. Should we migrate to Github Action, or try to
  get a way to keep using drone? We started a discussion in dev mailing
  list, but the answer from mentor differs from the answer from INFRA team.

  The bootstrapping process seems slow due to the above problem. If we
  cannot find a way to properly set up the CI system, we cannot merge any
  codes after the repo transfer completed. To this end, we are doing our
  best on fitting into Github Action.

  Lack of communication in dev mailing list. We, the PPMC members, realized
  that we cannot only talk offline. So we are starting to use the dev
  mailing list for discussion and issue tracking, and we received lots of
  comments and feedbacks from mentors. Next time I think we will do better
  on the collaboration and be more interactive with the lovely mentors.

  Since Baidu does not donate the brand name "MesaTEE" to ASF, we need a
  new brand name. To solve this, PODLINGNAMESEARCH issue 169 is initiated
  one month ago. And recently the discussion on new name seems come to an
  conclusion in dev mailing list. The next step is to do the rename as
  discussed.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

  Now we have 12 contributors for MesaTEE main repo, and 16 contributors
  for MesaTEE-SGX. Since the first day of incubation, MesaTEE merged 3 PRs
  from the community, and MesaTEE-SGX merged 7 PRs from the community.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

  Since the MesaTEE project joined incubator, we improved its build system,
  SDK, CLI, and fit it to the latest Intel SGX SDK v2.6. MesaTEE-SGX and
  its ecosystem has been periodically updated so as to eliminate
  bugs/vulnerabilities from 3rd party libraries.

  We just finished repo transfer for MesaTEE-SGX, and we are still working
  on repo transfer for MesaTEE main repo.

  It is worth mention that the comprehensive tests of MesaTEE and
  MesaTEE-SGX helped finding bugs in their dependencies, and we managed to fix
  them in upstream libraries. One case is the "official" numeric library family
  of Rust ecosystem: rust-num. It's build script did not work well with
  MesaTEE's build system and we filed [num-traits issue
  139](https://github.com/rust-num/num-traits/issues/139). Then we fixed in
  [PR 140](https://github.com/rust-num/num-traits/pull/140). More fixes in
  this family are pending to merge. Another case is in the official Intel
  SGX SDK. MesaTEE-SGX's CI reported failure after migrating to Intel SGX SDK
  v2.7 release. We created [linux-sgx issue
  457](https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx/issues/457) and Intel resolved it
  a week later in [PR 461](https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx/pull/461).

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

  Luciano helped us a lot. He helped with catching up the schedule and the
  SGA. We learned a lot from him and started managing MesaTEE in Apache's
  style.

  Zhijie Shen helped us a lot with the initial setup, such as signing the
  iCLA, account creation, mailing lists.

  Justin Mclean helped us a lot on this report. We received a lot of
  feedbacks from him and we updated this report according to these
  comments. These comments are really helpful and make us realize how to
  work in the Apache way. Thanks Justin!

  We appreciate the help from the mentor group. Mentors are really
  professional and helpful!

   Comments: For the rename, I would recommend only performing the rename
    after a namesearch is completed. Please close the old one, and create a
    new one for the new name.

   Comments: Slow start, but renaming is being done early on to minimize
    problems.

    Comments:  Mailing lists were created Sep 24 and
               Podling roaster is updated. Have requested
               podling members to use mailing list and start
               moving their git repositories.

    Comments:  I filed the account requests for all the initial
               committers on 3 Oct as well as an initial suitable
               name search ticket.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

 The project is just starting up and did not get a report ready this
 month.
 The champion need to work on migrating the initial committers and
 eventually wider developer community to the apache.org mailing lists.
