Board history: Cotton

Cotton

What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.

These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.

Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

2015-11-18 — in the Incubator's report

Cotton is an Apache Mesos framework for running MySQL instances.

Cotton has been incubating since 2015-06.

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

1. Increase project communication on mailing lists, JIRA
2. Attract new project contributors and committers
3. Establish a first release at Apache

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

Development of Cotton has largely been inactive for the last two months,
due to limited time from the original developer and community engagements
including MesosCon Seattle and MesosCon Europe.

How has the community developed since the last report?

There has been limited participation on the mailing lists and JIRA,
however a discussion on the private@ list was established about this issue
and there's a desire to keep the project in the incubator and be more
proactive in building community in the coming months.

How has the project developed since the last report?

* Apache Cotton was presented at MesosCon, available for viewing on
  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFS8-mt8alU
* Limited development has occurred since the last report.

Several JIRA issues outline some of the earliest outstanding work,
including setting up a project website and renaming portions of the
codebase to reflect the new Apache Cotton name (formerly Mysos).
