Board history: DataLab

ASF Oak Leaf Icon

DataLab

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.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

johndament: This report is very sparse.  It appears to be written by a
single member and not discussed on list at all.  I can't find any on list
discussion of this report, nor recent on list discussion of the graduation
proposal.  I doubt the podling is actually ready to graduate.

1. Come up with a new name for DLab.
2. Extend the amount of committers.
3. After release 2.2 is made, the team will have to do major refactoring
of the code, updating of product documentation, which might potentially
slow down the process of releasing version 2.3.

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

No issues.

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

Following committers have been added:
- Mykola Bodnar (ICLA file was signed off and submitted in previous
Sep 2019 report and Apache ID was created later on September 12th, 2019)
- Dmytro Gnatyshyn

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

- The team has released v.2.2 and now it is working on release v.2.3
- Web site was created and moved to apache servers

The last committer was elected on December 2, 2019.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Yes our mentors are super helpful. We do receive answers to all our
questions timely. Special thanks for Furkan, who was super helpful
and provided the majority of responses.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

Out team has finally chosen a name. We'll soon create for a JIRA ticket
for Podling name search. If no conflict found (preliminary there are
zero conflicts), we'll have to reflect this in our codebase/documentation
in upcoming release.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Justin Mclean: Is infra aware there is going to be a name change? It
  might be best to change name on graduation rather than before.
  Please discuss with infra first.

2019-09-18 — as DLab, in the Incubator's report

DLab is a platform for creating self-service, exploratory data science
environments in the cloud using best-of-breed data science tools.

DLab has been incubating since 2018-08-20.

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

1. Come up with a new name for DLab
2. Extend the amount of committers. The plan here is to participate in
a number of conferences, starting with ApacheConf in Berlin on October 23,
EPAM SEC conference in Gansk on SolutionsHub area
3. After release 2.2 is made, the team will have to do major refactoring
of the code, updating of product documentation, which might potentially
slow down the process of releasing version 2.3

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

No issues.

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

A new committer is added:
- Adams Disturber (Andrii Dumych)
Also awaiting for committer Mykola Bodnar, pending account creation. ICLA
files are signed off and submitted, waiting for Apache ID to be created.

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

Team is actively working on release 2.2 features.
There will be many new features and conceptual changes introduced in
upcoming release. We are introducing the concept of projects within DLab,
which will allow to control permissions for groups of DLab users,
improve collaboration capabilities.
Major improvements will be made in terms of GCP platform deployment.
GCP will support the majority of the features, currently available in
DLab for AWS and Azure Clouds.
One of the conceptual features implemented is the ability to provision
DLab's self-service noe in k8s and being able to integrate with many
identity providers, supporting OAuth2 and SAML2.0 via Keycloak.

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

1. Execute the SGA between EPAM and the ASF so code can be imported - done
2. Complete on-boarding of initial committers - done
3. Work toward an initial Apache release - release branch created – done

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

Not this time

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

All initial committers have completed on-boarding. Also we've added
couple of new contributors (some of them are waiting for PPMC to be created).
All new contributors are currently onboarding and doing initial work to prove
contribution:

- Andriy Yatskovets
- Kirill Makhonin
- Vitalii Solodilov
- Dmitriy Karbyshev
- Aliaksandr Semianets

Also a few new contributors will start submitting their .icla files soon:

- Andrii Dumych
- Mykola Bodnar

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

The team fully switched our work to Apache Infrastructure: JIRA, Git.

First release has been made
https://github.com/apache/incubator-dlab/releases/tag/2.1-RC2

Team is actively working on release 2.2 features.

There will be many new features and conceptual changes introduced in
upcoming release. We are introducing a concept of projects within DLab,
which will allow to control permissions for groups of Dlab users, improve

IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher: DLAB is yet another podling that does not understand that the
           top 3 items to address question is forward looking. The IPMC
           needs to refine the question - English language tenses can be
           subtle. Since MOIN Wiki is going away there is an opportunity
           to do this.
