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.

(submitted by Bertrand Delacretaz representing the DeviceMap PMC, whose chair has resigned with immediate effect [1] ) DeviceMap has reached the minimal viable number of PMC members with only three of them remaining, after two PMC members, including the current PMC chair, resigned this week based on seemingly unresolvable difficulties between them and another PMC member [1] [2]. A resolution to establish a new chair is provided along with this report. With this and very low activity in the project it looks like the Attic might be the next step. However, the PMC would like to give it some time before making a final decision, in case something positive happens in the next few months. The PMC will observe the project's activity and health for the next three months and review the possible move to the Attic based on what happens between now and our next report, which is due for the board's November meeting.

DESCRIPTION Apache Devicemap is a data repository containing devices attributes, and their related browsers, and operating systems. The project also maintains an api to classify these attributes. CURRENT ACTIVITY * Working on 1.0.3 data release. Plan on releasing it this month. * Planning continues on 2.0. The data spec is pretty much done. The next step would be creating a test specification and reference client. After that, data can be migrated to the 2.0 format and official clients can be created using the spec, the test spec, and reference client as a guide. RELEASES * DeviceMap Data 1.0.2 was released on February 13th, 2015. * DeviceMap Java Client 1.2.0 was released on December 22nd 2014. COMMUNITY * Volkan Yazici was added as DeviceMap committer in April 2015. ISSUES * There are still lingering issues between PMC members. Since I am involved, I will try and report on them as unbiased as possible. The issue seems to be rooted in how the project moves forward with multiple independent client codebases. I personally was tired of the constant disagreement and even floated my resignation on the dev list. I got many responses encouraging me to stick with the project and Bertrand made some recommendations to help with the disagreements. We all came to agreement that a better partition in the SVN repo would help seperate the clients and how they move forward. The hope is that members are more free to work on and move different pieces of this project forward without the large inter-dependencies which were present in the OpenDDR data and client.

RELEASES * DeviceMap Data 1.0.2 was released on February 13th, 2015. * DeviceMap Java Client 1.2.0 was released on December 22nd 2014. COMMUNITY * Several people have expressed interest in joining the project for 2.0. * Last new committer was Eberhard Speer Jr on May 13th 2013. ISSUES * As questioned in the previous report, we did have an issue in January where a PMC member took issue with some of the project discussions and possible direction.

Apache Devicemap is a data repository containing devices attributes, and their related browsers, and operating systems. The project also maintains an api to classify these attributes. CURRENT ACTIVITY * DeviceMap recently graduated to a TLP at the last board meeting. * Resource migration from the incubator has been completed. * Many new devices have been added to our JIRA for inclusion on our next data release. RELEASES * There have been no releases since the 1.0.1 data release on October 15th. A new Java client release has been staged and work is in progress on our next data release. COMMUNITY * There were no new additions to the PMC since the last report. ISSUES * There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
Apache DeviceMap is a data repository containing device information, images and other relevant information for all sorts of mobile devices, e.g. smartphones and tablets. While the focus is initially on that data, APIs will also be created to use and manage it. DeviceMap has been incubating since 2012-01-03. The mentors feel DeviceMap is ready to graduate, the new PMC's roster has been discussed and the graduation resolution is being prepared. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? No change. The DeviceMap community will probably remain small, graduating with 5 initial PMC members. How has the project developed since the last report? The project has started its incremental device data release with its recent 1.0.1 release. The project also is planning to release its new 1.1 clients (Java and .NET). Long term plans have been made to overhaul the device data in the 2.0 release. Date of last release: 2014-09-29 When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

While the focus is initially on that data, APIs will also be created to use and manage it. DeviceMap has been incubating since 2012-01-03. The report was not delivered on time from the project itself, as a mentor I (bdelacretaz) have sent the following challenges to the project's dev list to try and get the current somewhat active PPMC members to take over: 1. Challenge #1: provide regular reports 2. Challenge #2: make a release 3. Challenge #3: form a PMC with 4-5 members to graduate Those should really not be challenges but at this point that felt like an appropriate way of indicating the importance of those actions. There's already promising responses, we'll see if those translate into concrete actions. Apart from that there's been some good discussions in the last weeks, but no concrete results yet. Best is probably to evaluate the progress on the above challenges next month to make a decision about the future of the project.

This on-n-off seems to continue with the project. I know that some of the mentors are recommending giving it more time, but it seems like we need to establish some metrics to at least get the community in shape to do the basics (like reporting and releasing). Without any kind of forcing function I am not sure what the future for this project really is. (bdelacretaz) Agreed - I have now provided a mentor report above.
Apache DeviceMap is a data repository containing device information, images
and other relevant information for all sorts of mobile devices, e.g.
smartphones and tablets. While the focus is initially on that data, APIs
will also be created to use and manage it.
DeviceMap has been incubating since 2012-01-03.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow community.
2. Generate a release.
3. Explore options to allow contributions through a Web based
interface/API to add new device specs.
4. Improved support for additional languages/platform (.NET, PHP,...)
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
(None)
How has the community developed since the last report?
Tangentially, there have been presentations at conferences like JavaLand
raised awareness. A Mobile Development MeetUp group in Germany is looking
into the code, and where they might contribute.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Syncing device data with OpenDDR in regular intervals when relevant
changes occur. Update of the Java DDR Simple API and other libraries.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Make a release 2. Get more contributors 3. Grow the community Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? DeviceMap's activity is very low and has actually gone down in the last few months. The next step is probably for the podling to consider whether it can reasonably expect to grow a community and get more active, or whether it's not active enough to graduate as an Apache project.

Review PPMC membership and ask who's staying on board 3. Graduate Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No board/IPMC issues at this time. How has the community developed since the last report? No new committers. Minimal activity on the dev list. How has the project developed since the last report? OpenDDR device data updates have been contributed. Extensive testing (hundreds of iterations through full set and various subsets of close to half a million unique user-agent strings) of all versions (java & .Net languages) currently in the repository showed that DeviceMapClient is literally over a 1,000 times faster than any other currently available tool (milliseconds vs microseconds) with a fraction of the code. Accuracy (approaching 98%) can be improved with n-gram tokens in resource data instead of regex patterns. Date of last release: No release yet. When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher (wave):
I see good activity recently. It looks like it took DeviceMap quite
awhile to get started, but the community has grown and it looks like
they are working towards a release. Mentors are active. I'm not sure
why they have not reported. (Oct 6)
Marvin Humphrey (marvin):
Podling did not report, expected next month.

There are no issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or the ASF Board need to be aware of. Our last report indicated a need to reboot the podling, this has been successfully done. Three new committers and PPMC members have been elected since April, and have been quite active in expanding and improving the podling's code base. New Java and C# modules have been added and tests are ongoing to validate and compare the various implementations. The community stays small but is now regularly active, making a release or two in the next period should allow DeviceMap to graduate. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Make at least one release 2. Clarify how/where DeviceMap gets its device data. Not strictly required to graduate but good for the viability of the project, various options are being evaluated. 3. Graduate - apart from having made a release the podling seems ready for that.

It looks like DeviceMap needs to be rebooted - there's almost zero activity from the initial committers, but a few people have proposed contributions that could help restart with a mostly new set of committers (without kicking existing ones out of course - they're welcome to be more active if they're willing and able). Two committer/PPMC elections are pending, and with two active mentors this can provide the embryo of a new community. The podling could be considered a failure at this point, but giving it another chance does no harm, so we recommend trying that.

Apache DeviceMap is a data repository containing device information, images and other relevant information for all sorts of mobile devices, e.g. smartphones and tablets. Entered incubation on January 3rd, 2012. There are no issues that require the Incubator PMC's or the board's attention. No new committers or PPMC members, and very low activity so far, but the OpenDDR code that was mentioned in the incubation proposal has just been donated, which should help motivate people to become more active. The donation included a data file with had been subject to a DMCA takedown request while hosted at Github. After some discussion we decided to exclude that file from the donation, as the ownership of part of that data is hard to establish. Details at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DMAP-11 which also links to threads on general@incubator.a.o. The next steps are preparing that code for a first release, and discussing how to best integrate the data that OpenDDR has been collecting themselves and as such can be contributed without problems.
