Introducing The ASF’s New Logo Read Now

Board history: Twill

ASF Oak Leaf Icon

Twill

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:
The mission of Twill is the creation and maintenance of software related to Use
Apache Hadoop YARN's distributed capabilities with a programming model that is
similar to running threads

## Issues:
The board reached out with a question about the community activity of the
project and exploring the possibility of becoming an attic project. Some of
the existing PMCs responded and all of them are not able to contribute any
more. We need guidance from the board on how to proceed forward.

## Membership Data:
Apache Twill was founded 2016-06-14 (4 years ago)
There are currently 9 committers and 6 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Andreas Neumann on 2016-06-14.
- No new committers. Last addition was Yuliya Feldman on 2018-03-06.

## Project Activity:
- Version 0.14.0 was released on 2020-01-29
- We are still exploring on expanding beyond Hadoop YARN, by adding the
  support for Kubernetes

## Community Health:
- There were increase of activities in JIRA, mailing list, and GitHub in
  January 2020. Most of them are due to bug fixes and improvements made for
  the new 0.14.0 release.
