| GSoC |
| ---- |
| |
| 40 GSoC students passed mid-term, one failed to submit a midterm evaluation: |
| in future, we should include a request to remind their students in the |
| reminders we send out to mentors about evaluations. |
| |
| Feedback from admins regarding the applications process this years was that |
| there was confusion and chaos around the selection process. Many |
| orgs had the same issues as the Melange webapp has changed |
| significantly this year. This has been the case each year so far, yet we |
| continue to be hopeful that next year will go more smoothly as a result! |
| |
| We haven't heard any complaints about the projects that did (or didn't) |
| get selected in the end, and in fact, we ended up giving back a couple |
| of slots because we didn't have the proposals to fill them out. This is |
| the first time this has happened, normally we take extra slots rather than |
| give them back. |
| |
| It is also notable that a few projects have a larger than normal number |
| of students. We need to explore whether this is a change of attitude towards |
| GSoC within the ASF or a lack of outreach work on the part of the ComDev PMC. |
| It is my opinion (Ross) that the annual chaos of the selection process puts |
| mentors off - it's simply too much work tracking the moving goalposts. |

| |
| GSoC |
| ---- |
| |
| GSoC is underway with two experienced admins and a newcomer learning the ropes. |
| |
| Googles insistence on changing the process on the fly without consulting orgs continues to |
| frustrate admins who have to adapt quickly and communicate this to our 150+ projects. Our thanks go to |
| this years Admins. |
| |
| We have 41 projects spread across 26 projects (17 TLPs and 9 Podlings). |
| |
| Participating TLPS are: |
| |
| Xerces, Pig, OODT, Hive, James, Tapestry, Ofbiz, Gora, Synapse, Derby, Axis, POI, Whirr, Lucene, |
| Velocity, Libcloud, Xalan |
| |
| Participating Podlings are: |
| |
| ODF Toolkit, Airavata, Stanbol, Photark, Wookie, OpenMeetings, Nuvem, Hama, VXQuery |
| |
| Completed: |
| * Publish updates to the GSoC Admin guidelines |
| * Verify that new mentor selection process is documented for GSoC |
| * Verify infra is OK with temporary accounts for GSoC |
| * Submit ASF to GSoC |
| * Work with projects to identify suitable GSoC tasks |
| |
| Events and Speakers |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Very little progress here as ConCom has been busy dealing with the RFP for US and the proposal for EU. |
| A number of ComDev members are helping out in ConCom activities. |
| |
| Outstanding: |
| * Agree scope of ConCom and ComDev collaboration on event support |
| * Raise awareness of Speaker and Event support materials |
| * Integrate speaker app with Lanyrd (hosts all ApacheCon NA12 slidedecks) |
| |

| ------- |
| |
| During the IPMC reboot discussions it was suggested that ComDev should take ownership of some aspects |
| of Incubation. This was rejected as ComDev felt that moving the problem was not solve it, however, it was |
| agreed in principle that overlaps existed. Now that Jukka seems to be be settling in nicely at the IPMC it |
| is time to restart these discussions. |

| GSoC |
| ---- |
| |
| GSoC 2012 was announced at FOSDEM on 4th February. ComDev has commenced |
| our organisation. We've already had two experienced admins step forwards, |
| with a further two newcomers expressing interest. This is very encouraging. |
| |

| Events and Speakers |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Ross (ComDev chair) met face to face with Nick Burch (ConCom chair) to discuss |
| a stronger relationship between ConCom and ComDev. As a result Nick has done |
| a little work on the speakers application. The intention is to make a number |
| of web widgets (via the Wookie podling) available for hosting via the CMS that can be embedded in project |
| and foundation pages. Work is ongoing. |
| |
| Nick and Ross also discussed the potential relationship relating to events. |
| Nick has shelved this work in preference to working on the RFP for producers. |
| |
| Outstanding: |
| * Agree scope of ConCom and ComDev collaboration on event support |
| * Raise awareness of Speaker and Event support materials |
| * Integrate speaker app with Lanyrd (hosts all ApacheCon NA12 slidedecks) |
| |
| Website |
| ------- |
| |
| There was considerable discussion about the use of org.apache package names on |
| apache-extras. This has now been clarified in the FAQ and Guidelines. |
| |
| In the last few days before this report there has been a great deal of |
| discussion on general@incubator.a.o It seems that reform is in the air and |
| many people are suggesting that some of the key functions move to ComDev. |
| However, there is no consensus in the IPMC about what the future should look |
| like and thus no clarity around what ComDev is expected to pick up. |
| |
| Some members of ComDev are involved with the discussion, but until there is |
| more clarity in the IPMC there seems little point in taking the discussion to |
| ComDev lists. |
| |
| New Tasks: |
| * Work with the IPMC to clarify any future role for ComDev in the incubation |

| GSoC |
| ---- |
| |
| Uli, our outgoing GSoC for this year has put together an admin |
| guide which should be very useful for future admins. This will include |
| press relations activities, something we have not done well on in the past. |
| |
| Outstanding: |
| * Verify that new mentor selection process is documented for GSoC |
| * Verify infra is OK with temporary accounts for GSoC |
| |
| Events and Speakers |
| ------------------- |
| |
| We made plans at ApacheCon to progress the speakers and local mentors app |
| forwards. We hope to see some work integrating this, and the speaker |
| slidedecks we currently link to, with Lanyrd soon. |
| |
| Nick Burch and Ross Gardler VP ConCom and ComDev met to discuss further |
| collaboration on ASF event support. Proposals will be presented to each |
| PMC for discussion during the next reporting period. |

| |
| No major changes this month, just a few minor tweaks to the Speakers section. |

| |
| GSoC |
| ---- |
| |
| GSoC went well overall, although there was one serious issue |
| regarding a mentor who was approved but is not a committer. This |
| situation was resolved in consultation with Google. We have proposed |
| modifications to the process to prevent this happening again. |
| |
| In the future, mentors have to notify their respective PMC that they intend |
| to mentor a GSoC project. The PMC has to acknowledge and a waiting period |
| of 72 hours starts during which objections can be voiced. A notification |
| template will be made available to prospective mentors. |
| |
| In addition, we will ask infrastructure to create a special group which |
| holders of temporary accounts, i.e. GSoC students, have to be a member |
| of. This group will be modifiable by pmc-chairs and comdev-pmc, and |
| will allow such temporary accounts to be reviewed and if needed closed |
| in due time. |
| |
| Some stats: |
| |
| * Students accepted: 40 |
| * Students who passed midterm: 38 |
| * Students who passed final: 36 |
| |
| Unfortunately we, once again, failed to do any press around our GSoC activities. |
| This needs to be made an explicit responsibility of the GSoC admin |
| (at present it is not in the Admin support materials) |
| |
| Events and Speakers |
| ------------------- |
| |
| ComCom are using the ComDev web space to host an ASF events |
| calendar [1], this has yet to gain significant traction. Similarly the |
| "speaker" application is not being used by either ConCom or press@. |
| ComDev to work with both to figure out how best to promote use of |
| these resources. Nick Burch and Ross Gardler (along with anyone else |
| who cares) will be meeting to come up with a plan for these resources at |
| ApacheCon. |
| |
| There are still many requests for standard slide decks about the ASF. |
| We have collected a few slide-decks for reuse and linked to them on our |
| website [2]. These collections need to be extended and, possibly, linked |
| to the speaker application. |
| |
| Website |
| ------- |
| |
| ComDev website is slowly growing to include very high level |
| information about how ASF communities work. Rather than duplicating |
| content held elsewhere on the a.o site we are seeking to provide a |
| minimum fuss entry point leading towards the appropriate detail heavy |
| documents. |
| |
| The arrival of OpenOffice prompted the production of a fair amount of |
| appropriate materials to help combat some of the initial confusion over |
| what an ASF project looks like. |
| |
| Mentoring |
| --------- |
| |
| Mentoring activity (other than GSoC) is almost non-existent, at least as |
| coordinated through ComDev. The EU project which was supposed to be |
| sending people our way is currently evaluating why students did not come |
| to us (report due before next board report). |
| |
| Objectives for next period |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| Raise awareness of Speaker and Event support materials |

| --------- |
| |
| Google Summer of Code is underway and once again we have plenty of eager |
| students and mentors. Even more refreshing is that we have a completely |
| new team of admins to spread the load around. |
| |
| We are still not doing a good job of foundation level PR around our |
| mentoring opportunities. |
| |
| Other mentoring activities are slow, with 5 interested parties approaching |
| us over the last quarter. The third pilot of the OpenSE project which keeps |
| promising to bring waves of students to us is now underway, but no signs |
| of significant activity yet. |
| |
| Use of apache-extras.org is increasing (100 projects at time of writing). |
| We are noticing a number of projects suggesting it as a home for |
| extension projects that cannot use the Apache licence as a result of |
| dependencies. |
| |
| There is some work underway to formally document Apaches expectations |
| that projects will be run independently of company affiliation. |
| |
| Objectives for next period |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| Complete GSoC and make an appropriate press release upon completion. |
| |
| Improve documentation about independence of Apache projects |

| Community |
| --------- |
| |
| Google Summer of Code 2011 is in preparation stages. For the first time we |
| have more admin volunteers than we need - which is great. |
| |
| The EU project (OpenSE) that planned to bring students to our mentoring programme is |
| about to commence its second pilot run. In the first run we had a number of |
| interested enquiries but nobody actually started work as a mentee. On the one |
| hand this is a dissapointment, on the othe it is good to know that our ASF |
| volunteers are not wasting time on the initial phases of engaging mentees that, |
| ultimately, bring nothing to the project. |
| The OpenSE team believes the main barrier is the high expectations we have of |
| students - we make it clear that they must be self-motivated and results |
| oriented. This coupled with the reputaton of the ASF appears to be intimidating |
| potential mentees. In the next pilot the learning assitants are focussing on the |
| career advantages experience with ASF projects can bring and are introducing a |
| "community game" which will introduce students to the idea of engaging in public. |
| |
| Apache-extras.org was launched. As agreed the committee is hands off on the |
| management of this site. There are currently 89 projects listed. |
| |
| |
| Objectives for next period |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| - Coordinate Google Summer of Code |
| - Analyse use of apache-extras.org |

| |
| Project Status |
| -------------- |
| |
| The Community Development is progressing well, although a little more |
| slowly than some whould have hoped. |
| |
| The planned mentoring project has still not been formally launched. Largely |
| due to the loss of the labels module in JIRA which was previously used by |
| projects to indicate issues appropriate for mentoring. An alernative will |
| be put into place very soon. |
| |
| Work on a project to provide hosting for Apache related software projects |
| is progressing. Legal documents have all been signed, draft usage |
| guidelines and a FAQ are available and PMCs have been ocntacted to reserve |
| projects names. |
| |
| We have taken ownership of party@ mailing list (no changes in usage are |
| proposed) |
| |
| Google Summer of Code completed - thanks to all involved. It is noticable |
| that once again we have failed to generate any press (we never produced a |
| press release for press@) |
| |
| We applied for the Google Code-In (Google's contest to introduce |
| pre-university students to the many kinds of contributions that make open |
| source software development possible) but were, unfortunately, |
| unsuccessful. |
| |
| Ross Gardler has spoken at a reasonably large number of events around |
| Europe addressing two key themes - The Apache Way and Innovation at the |
| ASF. |

| No issues require board attention at this time. |

| Community |
| --------- |
| |
| An increasing number of volunteers are becoming engaged with Community |
| Development PMC and contact from external participants is increasing |
| (although still low). |
| |
| |
| Objectives for next period |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| - Gain support from at least 5 PMCs for the mentoring programme |
| - Formally launch mentoring programme |
| - Launch hosting facilities for apache related projects |

| |
| Project Status |
| -------------- |
| |
| The Community Development Project is starting to ramp up again after the |
| Google Summer of Code efforts. We have merged the |
| women@a.o list into the dev@community.a.o and are commencing work on |
| rolling out the mentoring program. |
| |
| No issues require board attention at this time. |
| |
| Community |
| --------- |
| |
| The women@a.o mailing list has been closed and an autoresponder inviting |
| people to post to dev@community.a.o has been set up. The vote to merge the |
| women@a.o list was passed unaminously. One, previously unknown, community |
| member voted -1 (non-binding). However, the owners of the women@.a.o list |
| reassured the ComDev PMC that the list had been largely unsuccesful in |
| meeting the defined objectives and welcomed the opportunity to work with |
| the ComDev PMC in ensuring that the successes of women in the ASF are duly |
| recognised. |
| |
| The local mentors program and local speakers program both continue to grow. |
| We now have 53 local mentors, and 27 local speakers. If discussions on them |
| on foundation-wide lists is anything to go by, they continue to be of use! |
| |
| Interest is growing in the mentoring programme with a number of enquiries |
| to the development list. Ross Gardler reports that there will be between 10 |
| and 40 students approaching the ASF for mentoring as part of their formal |
| education in September. The draft process is already [defined](http://community.apache.org/mentoringprogramme.html) |
| and will be refined during August in consulation with interested PMCs. |
| |
| There was one appeal from a GSoC student that failed in the mid-term |
| evaluation. This was examined by both Google and the ASF admins. It was |
| felt the mentors decision was fair and that our selection process was not |
| at fault. A minor tweak relating to the communication of our expectations |
| to the students has been implemented. Full details can be reviewed at |
| http://markmail.org/thread/dsn6v2dagrm5nv7q |
| |
| Objectives for next period |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| * Gain support from at least 5 PMCs for the mentoring programme |
| * Launch the mentoring programme in September (no press at this stage) |

| |
| Website |
| ------- |
| |
| Documentation about mentoring has been moved from the wiki to the comdev |
| website |
| |
| A beta site for finding local mentors and speakers has been set up at |
| http://community.zones.apache.org/ This is reasonably well populated via |
| members@ and we expect to start pushing it to the wider community@ soon. |
| |
| Google Summer of Code |
| --------------------- |
| |
| 44 Students accepted, this will generate income of $22,000 |
| |
| For the first time there were no major complaints about the selection |
| process. |
| |
| Student work is underway. |
| |
| Mentoring Programme |
| ------------------- |
| |
| We had planned to roll out the mentoring programme after the GSoC |
| selection process. However, this has not yet happened. Documentation is in |
| place and a pilot is being run with a single student. However, we have not |
| yet rolled it out across the ASF. |
| |
| A lack of volunteer time is the real block here, this is expected to be |
| resolved in coming months (a day job project for one of the ComDev team |
| relating to this activity commences in July) |
| |
| The Apache Way |
| -------------- |
| |
| Prompted by various discussions on members@ we started a community dev |
| blog (http://blogs.apache.org/comdev/) |
| |
| This will be used to post useful pointers to existing resources and |
| expertise. |
| |
| We are considering which activities discussed in the members@ threads can |
| and should be implemented by comdev |

| Issues for board attention |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| GSoC invoicing process |
| |
| The ComDev PMC would like the board to evaluate the process for making |
| claims for GSoC payments from Google. For the board's convenience, the |
| process is currently: |
| |
| a) GSoC admin informs Google of total amount owing |
| b) Google issue a PO |
| c) GSoC admin liaises with ASF treasurer |
| d) ASF issues an Invoice |
| e) Google pays invoice |
| |
| At present the processes seems to get stuck at c). The GSoC admin is |
| unaware |
| of the issuing of an invoice for 2009 and we suspect other years may have |
| been missed as well. |
| |
| This not only impacts ASF income but increases our costs since travel to |
| the |
| mentor summit is reimbursed through the same invoice. |
| |
