Apache Kyuubi(Incubating) Maturity Self Assessment

Overview

This is an assessment of the overall maturity of Apache Kyuubi(Incubating) as an Apache project, meant to inform the decision (of mentors, community, incubator PMCs, and ASF Board of Directors) to graduate Kyuubi as a top-level Apache project. It is based on the Apache Project Maturity Model.

Mentors and community members are encouraged to contribute to this page and comment on it, the following tables summarize our self-assessment against the Apache Project Maturity Model.

✅ means that the related item is in good status. ⬜ means that the related item need long-term attention. ❌ means that the related item need to be fixed ASAP.

C10 The project produces Open Source software for distribution to the public, at no charge. ✅ The project source code is licensed under the Apache License, v2.0
C20 Anyone can easily discover and access the project's code. ✅ The source code is available on GitHub directly, linked on website
C30 Anyone using standard, widely-available tools, can build the code in a reproducible way. ✅ The source code is automatically built for each Pull Request commit, with license checks, style checks, doc builds, unit and end to end tests, via GitHub actions and Travis. Development environment setup and build instructions to do the same locally are documented on the website.
C40 The full history of the project's code is available via a source code control system, in a way that allows anyone to recreate any released version. ✅ The project uses git to manage source code, documentation and website, all releases are tagged. The commit history is available from the beginning of the project.
C50 The source code control system establishes the provenance of each line of code in a reliable way, based on strong authentication of the committer. When third parties contribute code, commit messages provide reliable information about the code provenance. ✅ The project uses GitHub repository managed by Apache Infra, it ensuring the provenance of each line of code to a committer. All code is checked in after review and approval via GitHub pull requests.

Licenses and Copyright

ID Description Status
LC10 The Apache License, version 2.0, covers the released code. ✅ The LICENSE file is in GitHub repository. All releases are verified by IPMC to contain the copy.
LC20 Libraries that are mandatory dependencies of the project's code do not create more restrictions than the Apache License does. ✅ The list of mandatory dependencies have been reviewed to contain approved and compatible licenses only.
LC30 The libraries mentioned in LC20 are available as Open Source software. ✅ All mandatory dependencies listed in L20 are available as open source software.
LC40 Committers are bound by an Individual Contributor Agreement (the "Apache iCLA") that defines which code they may commit and how they need to identify code that is not their own. ✅ All committers have iCLAs on file before they have an apache account.
LC50 The project clearly defines and documents the copyright ownership of everything that the project produces. ✅ All files in the source repository have appropriate headers. The Github workflow is in place to ensure every file has the expected license header.

Releases

ID Description Status
RE10 Releases consist of source code, distributed using standard and open archive formats that are expected to stay readable in the long term. ✅ Recent releases are available via the download page on the website. All releases are available via the apache archive.
RE20 The project's PMC (Project Management Committee, see CS10) approves each software release in order to make the release an act of the Foundation. ✅ All incubating releases have been approved by the Kyuubi community and the Incubator, all with at least 3 PPMC/IPMC votes and more +1 than -1.
RE30 Releases are signed and/or distributed along with digests that anyone can reliably use to validate the downloaded archives. ✅ Releases are signed, the keys are available from the download page. Every release has a corresponding hash(sha512) to prevent content tampering.
RE40 The project can distribute convenience binaries alongside source code, but they are not Apache Releases, they are provided with no guarantee. ✅ Convenience binaries are distributed alongside source code at the same time via
RE50 The project documents a repeatable release process so that someone new to the project can independently generate the complete set of artifacts required for a release. ✅ Release guide is available. The releases of the project have been performed by 6 different release managers.

Quality

ID Description Status
QU10 The project is open and honest about the quality of its code. Various levels of quality and maturity for various modules are natural and acceptable as long as they are clearly communicated. ✅ All issues are tracked on Kyuubi's GitHub Issues.
QU20 The project puts a very high priority on producing secure software. ✅ Security issues are treated with the highest priority. We use Apache's default way to submit security related information.
QU30 The project provides a well-documented, secure and private channel to report security issues, along with a documented way of responding to them. ✅ Website provides a link to https://www.apache.org/security/
QU40 The project puts a high priority on backwards compatibility and aims to document any incompatible changes and provide tools and documentation to help users transition to new features. ✅ Each release note contains all related issues and pull requests in the milestone, and extract mainly updates and API changes from milestones.
QU50 The project strives to respond to documented bug reports in a timely manner. ✅ The community is very active in responding to bug reports and usually fixes them within a short time period.

CO20 The community welcomes contributions from anyone who acts in good faith and in a respectful manner, and who adds value to the project. ✅ Committers are really welcome contributions and the community is actively seeking for new committers. The community has elected 3 new PPMC members and 8 new committers during incubation, based on meritocracy.
CO30 Contributions include source code, documentation, constructive bug reports, constructive discussions, marketing and generally anything that adds value to the project. ✅ The community welcomes all contributions. The contribution guide refers to non source code contribution. The community is very clear about contributions being more than code.
CO40 The community strives to be meritocratic and gives more rights and responsibilities to contributors who, over time, add value to the project. ✅. The community has elected 3 new PPMC members and 8 new committers during incubation, based on meritocracy.
CO50 The project documents how contributors can earn more rights such as commit access or decision power, and applies these principles consistently. ✅ The process to become a committer or PPMC member is documented on the website, see newcommitter, newppmc
