>> == Core Developers ==
>>
>> The following core developers, along with their credentials, are
>> proposed; each have been committers within OpenWhisk since its initial
>> development:
>>
>>  *  Stephen Fink, sjf...@us.ibm.com, original project architect
>>  *  Rodric Rabbah,  rab...@us.ibm.com, project's developer who has
>> deepest knowledge who has been with the project since its inception.
>>  *  Markus Thommes, markus.thoem...@de.ibm.com, project build and
>> deployment expert for all roles and environments (Mac, Linux, etc.
>> either local/distributed).
>>  *  Jeremias Werner, jerew...@de.ibm.com, tooling and integration
>> expert.  Understands all the build and runtime dependencies / external
>> projects OpenWhisk relies upon.
>>  *  Perry Cheng, pe...@us.ibm.com, Performance and stress testing guru.
>>
>> == Alignment ==
>>
>> We have looked, from the earliest days of developing OpenWhisk, at
>> Apache as a model for building a strong developer community and worked
>> to adopt its spirit and its best practices.  From the outset, we have
>> wished to have enough interest and momentum in order to have a robust
>> pool of developers in order to adopt an Apache governance model for
>> meritorious acknowledgement of committer and core contributors who can
>> bring external knowledge to further grow the project.
>>
>> We see immediate chances to leverage Apache projects such as Kafka,
>> Camel, MQTT, ApacheMQ, etc. Wherever there is a collector, funnel or
>> router of message data that can directly or indirectly generate
>> events, we intend to link to OpenWhisk as an even provider. These and
>> other projects are listed below and are just, we hope, “scratching the
>> surface” of integration points for Serverless enabled applications.
>>
>> In addition, we should note that we see immediate interest in
>> leveraging the Apache relationship with the Linux foundation to
>> integrate with the OpenAPI specification (f.k.a., Swagger) and seek to
>> standardize API gateways that follow that spec. to formalize endpoints
>> for services that can produce events.

>>
>> == Orphaned products ==
>>
>> OpenWhisk and its initial group of committers along with the community

>>
>> == Inexperience with Open Source ==
>>
>> OpenWhisk, as you can deduce from its name, has been an open source
>> project from its public debut in February 2016.  As soon as a the

>>
>> == Homogenous Developers ==
>>
>> The current list of committers includes developers from two different
>> companies. The current set of committers are geographically
>> distributed across the U.S., Europe and China. All committers are
>> experienced with working in a distributed environment and utilize many

>> addressing comments, feedback and issue or feature requests as soon as
>> we are able. In fact, we utilize OpenWhisk itself to intelligently
>> notify project developers with the correct knowledge or expertise of
>> any public posting to any community outlets (listed above).
>>
>> == Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
>>
>> All of the initial developers are currently salaried by either IBM or
>> Adobe. With increasing awareness and interest in Serverless
>> technologies, we expect this to change due to the addition of
>> volunteer contributors.  We intend to promote and encourage
>> participation whenever interest is shown in the project to build a
>> robust community.
>>
>> == Relationships with Other Apache Products ==
>>
>> Some possible project intersections or potential connections are
>> listed below.  We hope to identify many others through the course of
>> incubation.
>>
>>   * Kafka, http://kafka.apache.org/project, OpenWhisk has plans to use
>> Kafka for an intelligent “message hub” service that can channel events
>> to OpenWhisk triggers.
>>   * Camel, http://camel.apache.org/message-bus.html, Any message bus
>> naturally carries message data that may carry events directly or be
>> used indirectly to derive events that developers can link to OpenWhisk
>> actions.
>>   * ActiveMQ, http://activemq.apache.org/, Again, a widely used
>> message server, that supports MQTT and AMQP, which can provide trusted
>> event data to OpenWhisk.
>>
>> Some additional projects we would like to explore any connection with
>> include:
>>
>>   * CouchDB,  https://projects.apache.org/project.html?couchdb:
>> OpenWhisk already supports use of CouchDB for its own storage needs
>> (Actions, Bindings, etc.); however, there may be more integrations
>> possible  as we develop a package manifest  to describe OpenWhisk
>> entities reposited in document stores as pseudo-catalogs.
>>   * Mesos, https://projects.apache.org/project.html?mesos: in effect,
>> OpenWhisk also manages a “pool of nodes” that can run various Actions
>> (functions). It would be interesting to see if any overlap or sharing
>> of node resources could be achieved.
>>   * Spark, https://projects.apache.org/project.html?spark : As with
>> Mesos, OpenWhisk nodes could be leveraged to perform distributed
>> data-processing with Spark.
>>
>> and many others that we hope the community will help identify and
>> prioritize for development work.
>>
>> == An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ==
>>
>> The developers of OpenWhisk share a high appreciation of the Apache
>> Software Foundation, and many have been active as users, contributors
>> or committers to other Apache projects.
>>
>> The main expectation for the developers is not the Apache brand, but
>> the project governance and best practices established by the ASF,
>> access to the Apache community and support and mentorship through
>> senior Apache members.
>>
>> == Documentation ==
>>
>> OpenWhisk offers a comprehensive set of documentation (primarily in
>> Markdown) for all parts of the project from installation and
>> deployment (locally, remotely, distributed) on various platforms in
>> order to get developers “up and running” as quickly as possible on
>> multiple platforms (Mac, Windows, Ubuntu). In addition, OpenWhisk goes
>> to great links to document its architecture and programming model and
>> provide guided tutorials for the CLI. All SDKs and Packages that can
>> be installed, besides installation and use cases descriptions, often
>> include videos and blogs. OpenWhisk is dedicated to providing the best
>> documentation possible and even has volunteers’ submissions for
>> translations in some areas.
>>
>> == Initial Source ==
>>
>> The project is comprised of multiple repositories all under the
>> primary openwhisk name. All initial source that would be moved under
>> Apache control can be found in GitHub (by repository) here:
>>

>> inside the editor.
>>   * API Gateway Framework repositories:
>>
>>         There are existing discussions between IBM and Adobe about
>> creating a comprehensive API Gateway Framework that can support
>> community contributions. We plan to move these discussions into the
>> Apache community and invite participation in shaping this framework to
>> ensure the best possible solution for Serverless.  At this time, the
>> existing Adobe API Gateway provides a valuable set of modularized
>> components that will be part of this framework and the initial
>> submission:
>>
>>         https://github.com/adobe-apiplatform/apigateway
>>             The main API Gateway repository containing basic
>> configuration files and a Dockerfile to build all modules into a
>> single container.
>>
>>         Under this repository, you will find complete and conformant
>> code modules for the following functions:
>>             * Request Validation (e.g., OAuth, API-KEY) and tracking,
>>             * Configuration syncing with multiple Cloud storage solutions,

>> == Trademarks ==
>>
>> IBM is pursuing trademarking of the OpenWhisk name in the following
>> jurisdictions: Canada, France, WIPO (i.e., Australia, China, CTM
>> (EUIPO), India, Mexico, Russian Federation, Switzerland, United States
>> of America). IBM plans to transfer all filings and trademark ownership
>> to ASF.
>>
>> == Cryptography ==
>>
>> Please note that the file
>>
>> https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk/blob/master/common/scala/src/main/scala/whisk/common/Crypt.scala
>> makes use of the Java javax.crypto.* libraries to implement
>> encrypt/decrypt functions. Primarily this is used to encrypt/decrypt
>> user keys or secrets when being passed or stored between or by
>> OpenWhisk components.
>>
>> In addition, the API Gateway modules (api-gateway-hmac) relies on
>> OpenSSL (openssl/evp.h, openssl/hmac.h).
>>
>> == Required Resources ==
>>
>> Resources that infrastructure will be asked to supply for this project.
>>
>> Over the course of the incubator we would like to develop staging and
>> playground server environments for testing and developer experience.
>> The following environment would be desirable for an initial staging
>> (and separate playground):
>>
>>  *  CI Test Cluster requirements:
>>         3 VMs, Catalog (CouchDB/Cloudant), Router (Nginx), Registry
>>         2 VMs, Master (Controller + Consul), Message Bus (Kafka)
>>         10 VMs, Invokers
>>         Each VM assumes 4 CPUs, 8GB Memory, 80GB additional storage
>>  *  Mechanics:
>>         Scripts that invoke Ansible playbooks for build, deploy (run)
>> and clean are provided.
>>         The various architectural components are started via Docker
>> containers (either natively, within a single Vagrant VM, or across
>> multiple, designated VM roles) using user configured (or defaulted)
>> endpoints and (guest) authorization credentials.
>>         In addition, the user/developer may choose to use the default
>> ephemeral CouchDB (via Docker container) for the OpenWhisk catalog or
>> switch to use a native CouchDB or a remote Cloudant database.
>>
>> In addition, we would like to host a VM with a Node.js server that
>> provides Command Line Tutorials, along with demo samples.
>>
>> == Mailing lists ==
>>
>> Initially, we would start with the following recommended initial
>> podling mailing lists:
>>
>>     priv...@openwhisk.incubator.apache.org,
>>     dev@{podling}.incubator.apache.org
>>
>> We would add more as we transition off exiting mailings lists and
>> through the course of incubation.
>>
>> == Git Repository ==
>>
>> As a community we would like to keep the master repository as well as
>> issue tracking on GitHub. We will be working closely with ASF Infra.
>> team to implement all the required pieces like ensure to send push and
>> issue notifications through ASF controlled mailing lists. During
>> incubation we will work closely with Infra to support GitHub master
>> repositories. We also understand that we have to support a way of
>> providing patches, which does not require a GitHub account for
>> contributors who are not willing or not able abide by GitHub’s terms
>> and conditions. It is our understanding that this approach has been
>> signed off by Greg Stein, ASF’s Infrastructure Administrator.
>>   gstein sez: the podling can only graduate within an approved
>> repository system. The IPMC may have a differing opinion, but from an
>> Infra perspective: the OpenWhisk podling can continue with their usage
>> of a GitHub repository, but faces a clear obstacle: GitHub "as master
>> [as allowed by the Foundation]" must be approved and working before
>> the graduation, or they must migrate their primary to the Foundation's
>> Git repository (at git-wip) before they graduate.
>>
>> If we need to adapt our repo. paths to conform to Apache guidelines
>> (and perhaps necessitated by a move the the Apache named repo.) It is
>> conventional to use all lower case, dash-separated (-) repository
>> names. The repository should be prefixed with incubator and later
>> renamed assuming the project is promoted to a TLP.
>>
>> If we need to move the project codebase from its existing GitHub repo.
>> as part of incubation, we would like to preserve the directory names
>> as they appear today and adopt the “apache” as part of the URI path as
>> we have seen other projects adopt.
>>
>> This would mean all existing repositories which are now of the form:
>>
>>  *  https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk
>>  *  https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk-catalog
>>  *  https://githun.com/openwhisk/openwhisk-package-rss
>>  *  etc.
>>
>> would now take the form:
>>
>>  *  https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/openwhisk
>>  *  https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/openwhisk-catalog
>>  *  https://githun.com/apache/openwhisk/openwhisk-package-rss
>>  *  and so on ...
>>
>> == Issue Tracking ==
>>
>> We would like to explore the possibility of continuing to use GitHub
>> issue tracking (as project milestones, epics and features are all
>> nicely tracked via ZenHub boards) as we understand that this may now
>> be possible. We will provide any linkage or support for JIRA issue
>> tracking if that is required in order to track any “pull” requests
>> within GitHub.
>>
>> == Other Resources ==
>>
>> We would like to preserve our existing automated TravisCI automated
>> testing from GitHub. The project uses a continuous CD/CI process
>> currently that we would like to continue to support via multiple
>> stages that run progressive stress and performance tests that are also
>> automated.
>>
>> == Initial Committers ==
>>
>> The following is the proposed list of initial committers, email
>> address [, GitHub ID)]:

>> Although this list of initial committers appears long, OpenWhisk is a
>> complete platform which consists of many services supporting many
>> environments, programming languages and integrations. This diversity

>> OpenWhisk also supports an end user ecosystem including CLI, Tooling,
>> Package Catalog, “curated” Packages, samples, etc. along with the
>> intention of tying in API gateway (e.g., OpenAPI) and other event
>> source integrations.
>>
>> We hope to add many more committers who provide expertise and the
