Taverna folks,
I am very impressed with the GSOC activity, and all kudos to Sagar for keeping track of all the Taverna Mobile pull requests! The VOTE on Taverna Language also went well - but as pointed out on general@incubator there were sadly some further licensing issues. More simplifications in form of hard-coding (yes I know) should help. A challenge ahead, if we are to proceed to Graduation instead of Retirement from the incubator, is how to keep more of the PMC members (I guess that includes myself) engaged and motivated. Just chip in on the odd email thread; even a ping will help if some issue seems to have been forlost behind. I think we have gotten much better on this since Christmas, but let's not forget the rest of the project as the busy GSOC season is filling the list :) I put a draft of the Taverna podling report in https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/June2018 Please comment here, or edit directly in the wiki. ---- Taverna Taverna is a domain-independent suite of tools used to design and execute data-driven workflows. Taverna has been incubating since 2014-10-20. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Re-engage PPMC 2. Release or Retire legacy git repositories 3. Graduate! Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? How has the community developed since the last report? Uptake in activity with GSOC students, already multiple merged pull requests. Little engagement from the wider PMC. Email stats dev@taverna: 2018-05: 62 2018-04: 41 2018-03: 102 How has the project developed since the last report? Moved to Java 9 (just in time for Java 10?). PPMC voted on Taverna Language release, but it failed IPMC vote due to CC-BY licensed schema files. Will refactor. Some confusion as this seemed allowed by http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b See https://s.apache.org/lang-0.16.0-RC1-vote How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary.
