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.

## Description:
Apache Stratos is a highly-extensible Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
framework that helps run Apache Tomcat, PHP, and MySQL applications and can
be extended to support many more environments on all major cloud
infrastructures.
## Issues:
- It seems no one active in the project. I started thread in PMC about moving
to attic. No one replied. I am not sure what can do for going forward.
## Activity:
- No any coding activity
- One user query
- One user (who were GSOC student) said interesting to contribute to project.
But no reply from PMC or Committers
- No any other discussions
## Health report:
Answers for board auctions raised at last board meeting.
Q: How many of the 45 are in that "very few" count?
A: 7 Committers
Q: How many of the 45 will every commit again, since, iirc,
WSO2 has dropped any activity related to Stratos?
A: 10 - 15 Committers. All them are WSO2 employees.
One suggestion was promoting who ever vote for last release as committers. We
have not tried that. But my concern is without current committers support it
is very hard new comers to get used to the code base.

## Description: Apache Stratos is a highly-extensible Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) framework that helps run Apache Tomcat, PHP, and MySQL applications and can be extended to support many more environments on all major cloud infrastructures. ## Issues: - No issue for last quarter ## Activity: - No coding or discussions happened in Stratos 5.0.0 new architecture. - Did a bug fixing release 4.1.6 against the 4.x branch which is currently active. - Mainly target on existing customers. - Few mailing list user quires and answer by PMC members. ## Health report: - Very few PMC members and committers were active in bug fixing release. - Unfortunately if we can’t start Stratos 5 architecture, people may loose interest. - Two non committers voted to the bug fixing release. Thats some good sign ## PMC changes: - Currently 45 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Pubudu Gunatilaka on Fri Sep 25 2015 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 46 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Pubudu Gunatilaka at Thu Sep 24 2015 ## Releases: - Apache Stratos 4.1.6 was released on Thu Aug 10 2016
## Description: Apache Stratos is a highly-extensible Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) framework that helps run Apache Tomcat, PHP, and MySQL applications and can be extended to support many more environments on all major cloud infrastructures. ## Issues: - No issue for last quarter ## Activity: - Last 3 months, there was no significant activities in the project. Started initial discussion to reface Stratos to align with new industrial technologies. Discussions are in the initial stages. Discussed high-level architecture. No any coding done. ## Health report: - Since now Stratos does not having any paid contributors, all PMCs/Committers are seems bit busy with their day jobs. They are still settling with their new day jobs. But I am expecting PMC/Committers will start some code development soon. But we can't expect development speed which previously had. When Strstos 5.0 development starts we can expect some new contributors. ## PMC changes: - Currently 45 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Pubudu Gunatilaka on Fri Sep 25 2015 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 46 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Pubudu Gunatilaka at Thu Sep 24 2015 ## Releases: - Apache Stratos 4.1.5 was released on Thu Dec 10 2015 ## Mailing list activity: - dev@stratos.apache.org: - 247 subscribers (up 4 in the last 3 months): - 154 emails sent to list (974 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 6 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 5 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Apache Stratos is a highly-extensible Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)

## Issues:
- No issue for last quarter
## Activity:
- Last 3 months, developers are mainly focused on stability of the 4.1.x
release. Delivered one bug fixed release. No heavy development happened in
the last quarter may be due to the holiday season.
## Health report:
- For last quarter no new committer / PMC member added. I feel people are
loosing interest in Stratos due to mainly rising of other open source
projects in same space with bigger backing up. I believed Stratos community
need to find right place to play with other open source project. Also WSO2
stopped providing paid contributors to the project. This will affect to
slow down the project ,because all full time contributors were WSO2
employees. But PMC is strong enough to take forward the project.

## Description: Apache Stratos is a highly-extensible Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) framework that helps run Apache Tomcat, PHP, and MySQL applications and can be extended to support many more environments on all major cloud infrastructures. ## Issues: Currently this in not a major issue, but this may become mainstream near future. Stratos support run application on both virtual machines and containers. Container support is implemented on top of kubernetes project. Stratos provided autoscaling and composite application support on top of kubernetes. Kubernetes project is running very healthy with larger community support. (more than 500 code contributors) They are going to support all features that provided by Stratos on top of them. Since Kubernetes also opensource project, PMCs have some concern of duplicating effort on same space. Stratos may need to identify right space and move forward collaborating with other opensource projects like kubernetes. ## Activity: All 5 GSoC projects are successfully completed. Stratos 4.1.0 major release done. Which included two main features, docker container support and composite application model. Community discussed doing biweekly minor releases and successfully executed and end up doing 4 minor releases (4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.4). Also improved automated test coverage significantly, which help to do releases without recurring major effort on testing. ## PMC changes: - Currently 46 PMC members. - New PMC members: - Pubudu Gunatilaka was added to the PMC on Fri Sep 25 2015 - Anuruddha Liyanarachchi was added to the PMC on Wed Sep 16 2015 - Dinithi De Silva was added to the PMC on Thu Sep 10 2015 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 46 committers. - New commmitters: - Pubudu Gunatilaka was added as a committer on Thu Sep 24 2015 - Anuruddha Liyanarachchi was added as a committer on Wed Sep 16 2015 - Dinithi De Silva was added as a committer on Wed Sep 09 2015 ## Releases: - 4.1.1 was released on Tue Aug 11 2015 ## Mailing list activity: - dev@stratos.apache.org: - 239 subscribers (up 1 in the last 3 months): - 1934 emails sent to list (3478 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 116 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 98 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Stratos will be a polyglot PaaS framework, providing developers a
cloud-based environment for developing, testing, and running scalable
applications, and IT providers high utilization rates, automated resource
management, and platform-wide insight including monitoring and billing.
Stratos has been incubating since 2013-06-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Resolve name search issue
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-45
2. Community diversity
3. Start Graduation vote
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The Stratos PPMC would be glad if the name search issue could be resolved
soon. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-45
How has the community developed since the last report?
Six new committers & PMC members have been added to the project. (In
Stratos, committers are also invited to join the PMC). Community members
have written several blog posts. Lakmal Warusawithana was unanimously
elected as the potential Stratos PMC chair.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Stratos has developed a very active community. Community diversity was a
concern during the last report as well, and it is being addressed by bringing
in a number of non-WSO2 committers & PPMC members. There is lot of interest
expressed from & participation from many people. A single Stratos
distribution with multiple profiles has been created. The team is also
working on creating a simple VM which will allow people to easily try
Stratos out. This will bring down the barrier to entry most potential
contributors are facing right now, since setting up Stratos is a bit
tedious right now. The project is actively working towards further
diversification by attracting more non-WSO2 contributors. The domain
stratoslive.com has been donated by WSO2 to the Stratos PMC. The project
seems ready for graduation. A draft resolution towards graduation has been
prepared & is being reviewed. The community is thinking about starting a
graduation vote in the near future.

Stratos has been incubating since 2013-06-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Moving all Stratos related trademarks from WSO2 to Apache. Certain
WSO2 technologies such as StratosLive still bear the Stratos name.
These have to be resolved in the near future. We are in the process of
sorting these out.
2. Get the first Apache Stratos (incubating) release out, and in the
process ensure all ASF release requirements are met.
3. Build the community

How has the project developed since the last report?
Code has been refactored to get rid of non ASL 2.0 compatible third party
library dependencies. Package names have been changed. License files
added. Several bugs have been fixed. Builds have been made available for
review & testing. In anticipation of the first release, the project has
made available several RC packs to get community feedback. Documentation
has been added to the wiki. The project site has been properly setup. The
roadmap discussions are currently taking place on the dev list.

Shepherd notes:
Roman Shaposhnik (rvs):
Stratos appears in a solid shape and working on its first incubator
release. That said, their report is late which makes it difficult for
the shepherding work to feel complete. I will try to ping some of the
mentors.
