Executive Officer Reports A. Board Chair [Sander Striker] The Secretary can not be with us today, I'd like to thank Craig L Russell, Assistant Secretary, for covering this meeting. This month I've added a resolution to the agenda so that we can reduce the time to add additional people to a Project Management Committee. I'm already looking forward to next months Conferences report with the anticipation that ApacheCon NA 2022 will be as much a success as ApacheCon Asia. B. President [David Nalley] Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 8. C. Treasurer [Craig R. McClanahan] This month continued focus on several tasks from the month before, including access to Accounts Payable systems for various sponsors and donors. As more of our donors adopt requirements to participate in their donor-specific Accounts Payable environments, the amount of effort this requires has been increasing. Some of this effort has been because we consolidated our bank accounts into one, but donor systems maintained information from previous contributions that is now out of date. This should taper down as more of them are updated, but is still a focus of effort in the short term. We have also been working with the various Apache folks coordinating and organizing the upcoming ApacheCon conference in New Orleans. D. Secretary [Matt Sicker] No report was submitted. E. Executive Vice President [Ruth Suehle] ApacheCon approaches very quickly. We expect a very successful event--perhaps a little too successful, as we have hit (and exceeded) capacity in registrations. F. Vice Chair [Shane Curcuru] Nothing to report this month. Executive officer reports approved as submitted by General Consent. 5. Additional Officer Reports A.

It looks like the Zeppelin PMC doesn't pay efforts on the security issue. We need a Roll Call for it. 10. Unfinished Business 11. New Business 12. Announcements 13. Adjournment Adjourned at 15:49 UTC ============ ATTACHMENTS: ============ ----------------------------------------- Attachment 1: Report from the VP of Brand Management [Mark Thomas] Covering the period August 2022 * ISSUES FOR THE BOARD None. * OPERATIONS Responded to the following queries, liaising with projects as required: - the query regarding the naming of Apache Wayang is still with counsel - approved two requests to use project logos to refer to the project on commercial websites - approved one name search - approved one request to use project marks for an event - approved one request to use project marks within a commercial presentation - approved one request to use project marks within the material for educational course - declined a request to produce swag showing an ASF project logo and a commercial logo side-by-side - provided feedback on a draft site for an external event * REGISTRATIONS Worked with counsel to maintain our existing US registrations for BIGTOP, OFBIZ. Worked with counsel to progress with PDFBOX registration. Worked with counsel to progress the transfer of the DORIS marks to the ASF. Worked with counsel and Cloudera to complete the transfer of the IMPALA marks to the ASF. Discussed with counsel the possibility of registering some ASF marks in classes 41 and 42 in additional to class 9. * INFRINGEMENTS Provided advice to a project regarding a potentially infringing external product. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 2: Report from the VP of Fundraising [Bob Paulin] 1) ASF Sponsors: we have signed on one new Gold Sponsor and are in discussions with two additional Gold and one Silver candidate Sponsors. We’re awaiting renewal payments from one Platinum, one Gold, two Silver, and two Bronze Sponsors. We received new Sponsor payments from one Platinum and one Gold Sponsor, as well as renewal payments from one Platinum and one Silver Sponsor. 2) Targeted Sponsors: discussions continue regarding new ways for organizations to support the Foundation. 3) Sponsor Relations: we continue to work with select Sponsors to resolve issues with invoicing and payment processing. Ongoing engagement with candidate sponsor organizations, some of which go back to 2021. 4) Event Sponsorship: sponsorship operations for next month’s ApacheCon North America. 5) Individual Donations and Corporate Giving: we received $1.8K in individual donations during August, and are facilitating an incoming corporate contribution. 6) Administrivia: work continues with Treasury and Accounting teams to help expedite incoming payments by fine-tuning Sponsor invoicing and payment platform onboarding. Escalated fundraising proposals for security to operations meeting to discuss with management. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 3: Report from the VP of Marketing and Publicity [Joe Brockmeier] #M&P Report / September 2022 This report carries through to September 20. Sending regrets in advance as I won't be able to attend live this month. ## Announcements Meet Apache ShenYu, New Top-Level Project https://s.apache.org/uaawj ## Blog on WordPress The Foundation blog is now on news.apache.org, hosted on WordPress. Many thanks to the Infra team for doing the heavy lifting there and porting the previous content over to WordPress from Apache Roller. This gives us a number of features we didn't have on Roller, including statistics, post for authors w/out them having to have a sign-in, and the ability to have third party authors who don't have ASF credentials. We don't have a continuous month of traffic yet but early numbers suggest we get about 6K page views per week, about 2K unique viewers per week. Now that we're developing a baseline we can start thinking about how to increase that traffic. While that would be slightly more than 300K page views per year, we should really be seeing closer to 1,000,000 page views per year easily. ## In flight We have a number of pending announcements / releases in flight depending on final releases and graduation decisions, respectively. ### Fundraising I met with Bob Paulin about coordinating M&P with sponsors. Will be working with Constantia to create a roster of sponsors who are entitled to blog posts or other promotions and follow up on an annual basis to facilitate those if they're interested. We have a "success at Apache" post in development with a Platinum sponsor right now that came in via Sally/Fundraising. Constantia is working to set up a time for an interview to develop that post. ### First contributions We've developed a possible campaign around celebrating first contributions to Apache projects on social media. Sharing that with the ComDev folks to get their input and collaboration. Hope to have a timeline and possibly even first results by the next board meeting. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [David Nalley] General ======= Infrastructure is operating as expected, and has no current issues requiring escalation to the President or the Board. Highlights ========== - blogs.a.o/foundation/ moved to news.a.o Short Term Priorities ===================== - Require sign-in to LDAP connection. Future: ACLs. - Replace id.a.o with maintainable tech. Long Range Priorities ===================== - the Agenda Tool General Activity ================ - webmod improvements. - oauth.a.o moved onto a new, isolated machine. This box will pick up some new identity/account functionality. - Continued work on our Pelican website builder system. Reducing the use of .py config files, in favor of .yaml. Second goal is to move sites to a generic/foundation-wide builder, and avoid the ability to specify per-project code requirements. - Development of a new Slack bot to assist Infra primarily, with some additional features for the broader community. - Moving some tools and scripts from our classic svn repository into a new git repository. This enables use of the GitHub tooling across the Infra community. Systems that use svn for "workflow" (such as account requests) will remain in svn, as it is empirically less brittle in these types of use cases. - Refinement of spam/sender rejection. h/t to Infra volunteers. - Improved mail monitoring, given new systems arrangement. This includes a new, custom monitor agent. - Working with Apache HBase to spec out and launch CI/CD nodes under their targeted donation. - Lots of work to get Puppet to set up ARM nodes, primarily for workers to support our Jenkins cluster(s). - Continued work on the Agenda Tool, albeit slow progress. The basic structures needed for the tool are working. Feature work is the next set of work items, on that substrate. - Testing new 2FA, identity, account management systems. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Conferences [Rich Bowen] We are just one week from ApacheCon North America 2022, and so that has been the team's entire focus. As such, there's little to report, until after ApacheCon when we can look around at the larger picture again. As of this writing (2022-09-19) registration stands at 410. We have lost an unusually high number of speakers due to visas, but we still have a strong schedule, and expect to have another great event. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 6: Report from the Apache Travel Assistance Committee [Gavin McDonald] Current Events ============== ApacheCon 2022 New Orleans -------------------------- As expected, some applications have had to be withdrawn due to unable to obtain a Visa Interview in time or the Visa was rejected. Most flights are booked, still waiting on a couple that are pending late visa interviews in September. Hotel block for TAC is secure and payment has been sent out from the Treasurers office. Applicants have registered for the Conference. Open Source India ----------------- A last minute request to support 2 to 3 people was requested and accepted by the Committee. Flights and Hotel have been booked for 2 people, a 3rd person did not request TAC assistance. Open Source India takes place at the end of this month. TAC will request a report from the attendees after the event. TAC App ======= TAC app is running but idle, no events open but current applicants can still obtain a PDF letter for Visa support. Future Events ============= None currently Short/Medium Term Priorities ===================== Still keeping an eye out for other smaller events to support. Mailing List Activity ===================== Only talk this month on the list was regarding the support for Open Source India, in which the Committee approved supporting the event. Membership ========== No changes to the membership this month ----------------------------------------- Attachment 7: Report from the VP of Diversity and Inclusion [Katia Rojas] ## Description: The Diversity and Inclusion VP works in collaboration with a team that contributes towards generating a current description of the D&I landscape in the industry and for the foundation. The team also focuses on developing resources the projects can leverage to increase diversity and inclusion in their communities. ## Issues: ## Activity: *** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) *** Outreachy May-August 2022 internship round finalised on August 26, 2022. We had 2 Outreachy interns during this round.[1] A big thank you to María Arias de Reyna Domínguez and Antonin Stefanutti for mentoring the Outreachy interns. [2][3] Two projects: Improve Camel K API and Examples and Improve Camel K operator scalability. Outreachy December 2022 - March 2023. We applied as a community and got accepted! Already received and approved one project submission, project title: "SOLR-11872 Refactor test infra to work with a managed SolrClient; ditch TestHarness" [4] We are calling for funds for the new round! If you know of anyone that would like to support us with the Outreachy program please contact us on dev@diversity.apache.org We are calling for mentors and projects. We depend on the funds to be able to cover more projects. *** Project: User Experience Research on new contributors *** Survey launch on August. Thank you everyone that participated in the survey. Thank you Christian, Melissa, Chris, Diogenes, Joe, Daniel, and all of you that contributed to the survey launch. Bitergia and Kenn (Apache Beam) had a series of calls to review and provide feedback over the dashboard improvement proposal. Thank you, Kenn! *** Operations no news. ## Committee members' changes: no news. ## References [1] https://www.outreachy.org/alums/2022-05/ [2] https://www.outreachy.org/outreachy-may-2022-internship-round/communities/apache/improve-camel-k-api-and-examples/cfp/ [3] https://www.outreachy.org/outreachy-may-2022-internship-round/communities/apache/improve-camel-k-operator-scalability/cfp/ [4] https://www.outreachy.org/outreachy-december-2022-internship-round/communities/apache/solr-11872-refactor-test-infra-to-work-with-a-mana/cfp/ ----------------------------------------- Attachment 8: Report from the VP of Data Privacy [Christian Grobmeier] Data Privacy was out of office most of the August and partially in September. All important messages (mailing list and private messages) were responded too. I have recognised more messages coming in from tools like "privacy hawk" or similar. I am in contact with them if we can reduce the often unjustified messages. I am also in touch with "Scarf" to complete working on usage of this tooling too. Next tasks will be to submit the privacy resolution (as discussed) for the next board meeting and complete other privacy policy related tasks (committer policy, members policy etc) ----------------------------------------- Attachment 9: Report from the VP of W3C Relations [Andy Seaborne] Andy Seaborne (andy@) has joined two W3C working groups: * RDF-star Working Group * RDF Dataset Canonicalization and Hash Working Group Apache Jena already provides the work fo the RDf-star community group which is the main input into the working group. Only Working Groups produce W3C Recommedntiosn (standards). W3C Patent Policy applies for workgin group, in particular the section on licensing obligations for Working Group Participants (section 3.1) https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20200915/#sec-W3C-RF-license ----------------------------------------- Attachment 10: Report from the Apache Legal Affairs Committee [Roman Shaposhnik] Past month has been pretty calm. Committee members took good care of resolving most issues on time. After resolving a handful of LEGAL issues, we are flat at 22 outstanding issues compared to last month. Prompted by Akka's transition to Business Source License 1.1 we started the process of advising the projects affected by this disruptive change (notably Apache Flink). The details can be found in LEGAL-619. The process of bylaws review is almost done. There's one last bit of reviewing the indemnity provisions that should be done by early next month. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 11: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark J. Cox] Over the last few months we have had liason with the Infra team who created tooling to test for signature and other issues on project downloads. The first run found issues in 61 projects. The latest run was down to 28. The remaining issues are not major (signing public keys missing from KEYS files) and we will manually followup with the remaining projects over the coming months. A flaw affecting configuration/script file used by a GitHub workflow was reported in Apache Camel in April and fixed the next day and was mentioned in the press this month. There was no CVE issued as there was no security vulnerability in Camel itself and no action for end users: https://www.theregister.com/2022/09/01/google_firebase_apache_camel_github/ Continued work on incoming security issues, keeping projects reminded of outstanding issues, and general oversight and advice. Stats for Aug 2022: 27 [license confusion] 17 [support request/question not security notification] Security reports: 42 (last months: 61, 30, 44) 6 [airflow] 4 [site] 3 [httpd] 2 [flume], [logging], [openoffice], [shiro], [tomcat], [xmlgraphics] 1 [activemq], [ambari], [ant], [arrow], [avro], [cassandra], [commons], [drill], [dubbo], [infrastructure], [maven], [openwhisk], [pulsar], [security], [solr], [superset], [trafficserver] In total, as of 1st Sept 2022, we're tracking 92 (last month: 104) open issues across 39 projects, median age 111 (last month: 107) days. 52 of those issues have CVE names assigned. 10 (last month: 11, some + and -) of these issues, across 7 projects, are older than 365 days. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 12: Report from the VP of Jakarta EE Relations [Rob Tompkins] ----------------------------------------- Attachment A: Report from the Apache Airflow Project [Bolke de Bruin] ## Description: The mission of Apache Airflow is the creation and maintenance of software related to workflow automation and scheduling that can be used to author and manage data pipelines ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention ## Membership Data: Apache Airflow was founded 2018-12-19 (4 years ago) There are currently 48 committers and 27 PMC members in this project.

The primary goal of Bigtop is to build a community around the packaging and interoperability testing of Hadoop-related projects. This includes testing at various levels (packaging, platform, runtime, upgrade, etc...) developed by a community with a focus on the system as a whole, rather than individual projects. In short we strive to be for Hadoop what Debian is to Linux. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Bigtop was founded 2012-09-19 (10 years ago) There are currently 40 committers and 30 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 4:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Masatake Iwasaki on 2021-03-11. - No new committers.

In this patch release, we addressed the critical issue like WebHDFS broken which is a major problem for users. - 3.2.0 is the next minor release, which provides upgraded components (Hadoop 3.2.4 -> 3.3.4, Spark 3.1.2 -> 3.2.1, HBase 2.4.11 -> 2.4.13, Hive 3.1.2 -> 3.1.3, etc.) and new Mpack services support (Spark, Kafka, Hive, Flink, Solr, Phoenix, Ambari-Metrics, etc.). We need some additional work on bugfix and new Mpack features, so 3.2.0 will be released in 2022-Q4. - We enabled autolink redirection from Github commit to Jira for Bigtop (INFRA-23651). - In the Bigtop dev mailing list, we made the draft for "bring Ambari back" and Apache Ambari was resurrected from the Attic on July 2022. (https://lists.apache.org/thread/1x51fkog54x4fkkyvn8lljg139kbw686) - After Apache Ambari comes back, we are having a brainstorming discussion about selecting Bigtop Mpack as the default stack of Ambari. (https://lists.apache.org/thread/kbn8gjfl23cm381jwww0bbb41wfpf3jn, https://lists.apache.org/thread/o38qho9qxk6fv64q194043h91bw8yx4y) ## Community Health: - Community health is good.

The last addition to the PMC was in January 2017 (dammina) Community & Development ======================= Development progress remains slow since the last submitted report but focus remains on the bloodhound-core project. In the last report, it was mentioned that there was a desire to hold a number of hack days. No such events have happened yet but the intention to do so remains. It was suggested that this could manifest itself as an online event for a number of Fridays in a row, potentially making use of the #bloodhound channel on libera.chat, slack and/or matrix channels. ----------------------------------------- Attachment M: Report from the Apache BookKeeper Project [Sijie Guo] ----------------------------------------- Attachment N: Report from the Apache BVal Project [Matthew Jason Benson] ## Description: The mission of BVal is the creation and maintenance of software related to Apache BVal: JSR-303 Bean Validation Implementation and Extensions ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache BVal was founded 2012-02-14 (11 years ago) There are currently 16 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.

This was the extent of BVal project activity. ## Community Health: We continue to subsist in maintenance mode, with evident stability. To our discredit, we have failed thus far to effect for the purpose of catalyzing community involvement any of the suggestions presented by the board (Rich) in response to our Q2 report. ----------------------------------------- Attachment O: Report from the Apache Camel Project [Andrea Cosentino] ## Description: The mission of Apache Camel is the creation and maintenance of an open-source integration framework based on known Enterprise Integration Patterns. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Camel was founded 2008-12-17 (14 years ago) There are currently 81 committers and 41 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Antonin Stefanutti on 2022-01-28. - No new committers. Last addition was Nicolas Filotto on 2022-03-01. ## Project Activity: - We released Camel 3.14.4 - We released Camel 3.14.5 - We released Camel 3.18.0 - We released Camel 3.18.1 - We released Camel 3.18.2 - Note: Camel releases have synchronized releases of Camel-Karaf and Camel-Spring-Boot too - We released 3.14.4 and 3.14.5: This is an LTS release train. We are going to continue releasing 3.14.x. - We released a new LTS release train, with 3.18.x. We are already releasing new patch releases for this LTS release train and we're planning to do so for one year. - We released Camel K 1.10.0 - Related to Camel K we have also Camel K Runtime and Camel-Kamelets releases - We released Camel K Runtime 1.14.0 - We released Camel Kameletes 0.9.0 - We are improving the Camel-K experience and we are increasing the Kamelets number, to provide new way of composing integrations. - The Camel-Quarkus work is going ahead following the main camel releases with multiple releases - We released Camel-quarkus 2.7.2 - We released Camel-quarkus 2.10.0 - We released Camel-quarkus 2.11.0 - Camel-Kameleon and Camel-Karavan are improving and there is a raise of interest in the community. We are improving the projects by supporting new features and aligning with Camel 3.18.x releases. - Apache Camel was present at ApacheCon Asia in multiple presentations of integration track. - Apache Camel will be present at ApacheCon NA with multiple presentations in the Camel on Cloud track. ## Community Health: - dev@camel.apache.org had a 4% increase in traffic in the past quarter (454 emails compared to 436): There is a little increase because we had some feedback from user migrating from old Camel 3.x to latest LTS 3.18.x. - issues@camel.apache.org had a 22% increase in traffic in the past quarter (2125 emails compared to 1734): This is related to some new features we are adding to the development release of Camel 3 torwards 3.18.0 LTS. - users@camel.apache.org had a 5% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (315 emails compared to 330): The situation is more or less the same of last quarter, the 3.14.x LTS is solid so we have probably less traffic and less feedback. - 287 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (28% decrease) and 611 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (73% increase): We are in a stabilization phase for Camel 3.18.x and the LTS are more or less stable, so there is less activity on JIRA. The increase in closed issues is related to some cleanup activities of JIRA during this quarter. - 201 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (-13% change) and 190 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (-19% change): We are slowing down on issue opened on camel-kamelets for example and we are looking at backlog. Note: Github issues are related to all the subprojects different from Camel/Camel-Karaf/Camel-Spring-Boot - 3113 commits in the past quarter (14% decrease) and 121 code contributors in the past quarter (3% decrease): As said above the camel codebase is stabilizing around the LTS 3.18.x, so we are focusing a bit more on stabilizing the codebase but also introducing new features with a slower cadence - 1068 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (10% decrease) and 1073 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (8% decrease): on some of the subprojects the activity is slowing down for stabilization reasons, so there are less PRs. This should change a bit in the next quarter since we are going to align all the subprojects to 3.18.x LTS release of main Camel project. ----------------------------------------- Attachment P: Report from the Apache Cayenne Project [Michael Ray Gentry] # Apache Cayenne Board Report, September 2022 ## Description Apache Cayenne is a Java database persistence framework.

Last addition was Adam Rosien on 2022-04-14. ## Project Activity: The Daffodil VSCode extension - an interactive IDE for data format debugging - version 1.1.0 was released. Daffodil (basic library) version 3.4.0 has been delayed for good reason: bugs found from users pushing it hard. Also the addition of one major new feature, support for w3c EXI Binary XML data has taken longer than expected. We will present a talk featuring some of the programming innovations in Daffodil at the upcoming ApacheCon NA in New Orleans. ## Community Health: Our stats look particularly good this report because they reflect the activity on the Apache Daffodil VSCode repository which has had a great deal of activity in the run up to the version 1.1.0 release and has continued to have that level of traffic. ----------------------------------------- Attachment X: Report from the Apache DeltaSpike Project [Mark Struberg] ## Description: Apache DeltaSpike is a suite of portable CDI (Contexts & Dependency Injection) extensions intended to make application development easier when working with CDI and Java EE. Some of its key features include: - A core runtime that supports component configuration, type safe messaging and internationalization, and exception handling. - A suite of utilities to make programmatic bean lookup easier. - A plugin for Java SE to bootstrap both JBoss Weld and Apache OpenWebBeans outside of a container. - JSF integration, including backporting of JSF 2.2 features for Java EE 6. - JPA integration and transaction support. - A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA. Testing support is also provided, to allow you to do low level unit testing of your CDI enabled projects. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity Activity is rather low right now. We managed to apply and close a few pull requests from github. ## Health Report If needed there is enough activity. Voting and releases are no problem. ## Releases - 1.9.6 was released on 2022-04-12. - 1.9.5 was released on 2021-03-10. - 1.9.4 was released on 2020-06-12. ## Project Composition: - There are currently 35 committers and 19 PMC members in this project. - The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:5. ## Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members (project graduated recently). - Cong Ling was added as committer on 2022-08-23 - Xiaoli Zhu was added as committer on 2022-08-23 - Wenqiang Lee was added as committer on 2022-08-23 - Jie Wen was added as committer on 2022-08-30 - Zhang Wenxin was added as committer on 2022-08-20 - Xiangyu Peng was added as committer on 2022-08-23 - Rongqian Li was added as committer on 2022-08-23 - Zeno Yang was added as committer on 2022-06-17 ## Project Activity: The current development is mainly focused on the 1.2 version (on master branch) and the maintenance of the 1.1 branch. We are voting for releasing v1.1.2 ## Community Health: The community health is good. In the past month, a total of 111 contributors contributed 463 commits. The github issue, mailing list are all good. And we also synchronize relevant progress with developers at bi-weekly meetings online. ----------------------------------------- Attachment Z: Report from the Apache ECharts Project [Wenli Zhang] ## Description: The mission of Apache ECharts is the creation and maintenance of software related to a charting and data visualization library written in JavaScript ## Issues: NA ## Membership Data: Apache ECharts was founded 2020-12-16 (2 years ago) There are currently 28 committers and 14 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - He Hao was added to the PMC on 2022-07-06 - He Hao was added as committer on 2022-07-06 ## Project Activity: We are working on the release candidate of the next version 5.4.0 and it should be ready in less than a week. In this version, we supported new features to improve mobile interaction experience. For example, touch points are enlarged so that touching near the target point will also trigger touch events. We also introduced a new language, Ukrainian. We improved milestone management so that both the release manager and developers from the community can have a better idea about the issues to be included in a certain version. We believe this can help us track the issues better. ## Community Health: We have a new PMC member on July 6th, which is the first new PMC member since our graduation. He is actively contributing to the project and we are excited to have him on board. On the other hand, we should encourage more long-term contributors. Currently, we have many unreviewed pull requests and it would be discouraging for contributors if their first pull request is not reviewed for a long time. So, the project's PMC members should spend more time reviewing the current open pull requests, starting from recent ones. Hopefully, this can help encourage the contributors to continue contributing to our project. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AA: Report from the Apache Felix Project [Karl Pauls] ## Description: Apache Felix is a project aimed at implementing specifications from the OSGi Alliance as well as implementing other supporting tools and technologies aligned with OSGi technology. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Felix was founded 2007-03-28 (15 years ago) There are currently 68 committers and 27 PMC members in this project.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Martijn Visser was added to the PMC on 2022-09-08 - Caizhi Weng was added as committer on 2022-09-08 - Junhan Yang was added as committer on 2022-08-19 - Qingsheng Ren was added as committer on 2022-06-17 - Shengkai Fang was added as committer on 2022-06-17 - Lijie Wang was added as committer on 2022-08-24 ## Project Activity: - The Flink project has set up a community Slack (in June), which just surpassed the 1000 members mark, so it is being adopted nicely. The user@ mailing list saw a 4% drop in activity, which is likely caused by that (and the summer travel season). - The first in-person Flink Forward conference happened in San Francisco in early August, with a good mix of use-case and deep-dive talks. - Lightbend's decision to change the license of Akka has triggered a discussion and a clarifying blog post. The community will make sure that the license change does not affect Flink users. - The next big release, Flink 1.16 is still being prepared (feature freeze happened already. The community has finished testing major new features and will soon start creating the first release candidate. - 1.14.6 is currently being VOTEd on - flink-tablestore-0.2.0 on 2022-08-29 - 1.15.2 was released on 2022-08-23. - kubernetes-operator-1.1.0 was released on 2022-07-24. - ml-2.1.0 was released on 2022-07-08. - 1.15.1 was released on 2022-07-05. - 1.14.5 was released on 2022-06-22. ## Community Health: - Some metrics are (again) indicating an overall reduced activity: JIRAs opened -16%, commits -11%, PRs opened -8% (previous quarter had commits - 15%, PRs opened -15%). However, it seems that the PR / commit activity is only reflecting the main repo of the project, and not the increasing number of additional repositories (kubernetes operator, Flink ML, table-store, per-connector repositories). - The PMC is functioning, discussing and actively adding more committers/PMC members, responding to security requests and revisiting policies around the Apache Flink twitter account. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AD: Report from the Apache Gobblin Project [Abhishek Tiwari] ## Description: The mission of Apache Gobblin is the creation and maintenance of software related to a distributed data integration framework that simplifies common aspects of big data integration such as data ingestion, replication, organization and lifecycle management for both streaming and batch data ecosystems ## Issues: No issues to report. ## Membership Data: Apache Gobblin was founded 2021-01-19 (2 years ago) There are currently 19 committers and 12 PMC members in this project.

We will explore the possibilities of expanding our committer base, once these contributions are reviewed and merged. - Except for several bug fixes and improvements considering development work, we have not been able to make significant on our next major release, 0.9 was released on 2019-08-15 and it has been quite while since last release. ## Community Health: - We observed the usual activity level on both Github and mailing lists for the past quarter. So nothing significant that worth mentioning for the this quarterly report compared to previous reports. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AF: Report from the Apache Guacamole Project [Mike Jumper] ## Description: The mission of Apache Guacamole is the creation and maintenance of software related to providing performant, browser-based remote access ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Guacamole was founded 2017-11-14 (5 years ago) There are currently 14 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.

Gump's intention isn't so much to be a CI server but rather a vehicle that makes people look beyond their project's boundaries and helps the projects to collaborate. Gump is written in Python and supports several build tools and version control systems. The Apache installation of Gump builds ASF as well as non-ASF projects and their dependencies. It started in the Java part of the foundation but also builds projects like APR, HTTPd and OpenSSL. # Issues There are no issues requiring board attention. # Membership Data Apache Gump was founded 2004-02-18 (17 years ago) There are currently 16 committers and 10 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 8:5. # Community changes, past quarter: No new PMC members. Last addition was Mark Thomas on 2014-12-03. No new committers. Last addition was Konstantin Kolinko on 2015-02-11. # Project Activity The Tomcat community is the only one still using Gump actively and the only activity in Gump is around keeping the infrastructure alive and tweaking things for the benefit of Tomcat builds. We will certainly support any other project that wants to get the benefit of the early warning system for backwards incompatible changes Gump provides, but we are not actively recruiting projects. # Releases Gump has never done any releases. One reason for this is that the ASF installations of Gump work on the latest code base almost all of the time following its "integrate everything continuously" philosophy. # Community Health There isn't much happening but help is there when anybody needs it. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AH: Report from the Apache Helix Project [Kishore G] ## Description: The mission of Helix is the creation and maintenance of software related to A cluster management framework for partitioned and replicated distributed resources ## Issues: - PMC chair change voted and resolution submitted. Need approval from board. - Need guidance on non active PMCs. Lack of PMCs for regular release voting. ## Membership Data: Apache Helix was founded 2013-12-17 (9 years ago) There are currently 24 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 4:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Junkai Xue on 2017-07-03. - No new committers.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Giovanni Bechis on 2021-06-11. - No new committers. ## Project Activity: The project has produced two releases in the four months since my last report. httpd 2.4.54 was released on June 8th after the third release candidate tarball passed a PMC vote. This release included bug fixes, some features, and addressed eight security vulnerabilities. All of the vulnerabilities involved were given "Low" or "Moderate" impact ratings. A new release of the "libapreq2" support library was also made on 25th August, which addressed a single long-outstanding security issue (rated "Important"). ## Community Health: It was a particularly quiet quarter for both commit volumes and mailing list traffic, possibly reflecting summer vacation time. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AK: Report from the Apache Hudi Project [Vinoth Chandar] ## Description: The mission of Apache Hudi is the creation and maintenance of software related to providing atomic upserts and incremental data streams on Big Data ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Hudi was founded 2020-05-20 (2 years ago) There are currently 30 committers and 16 PMC members in this project.

Videos are being uploaded to the Apache Hudi Youtube channel owned by the PMC. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs7AhE0BWaEPZSChrBR-Muw In addition, there have been several talks and blogs in the last quarter which are collected here https://hudi.apache.org/blog. Many query engine projects/vendors expressed interest in a storage spec document, to help integrate with Hudi as a format, for e.g non Java engines. We have published the Hudi tech spec documents here. https://hudi.apache.org/tech-specs/ The hudi community also approved the 0.11.1 and 0.12.0 releases, which contain major features/performance/reliability improvements. In the meantime, 0.13 release is currently planned with some really large new features like metaserver, overhaul of merge APIs, new indexes and many more. Based on feedback from community, we are planning to maintain patch versions on top of 0.12.0, to help users who are much older releases to migrate to a recent version. ## Community Health: We observed similar levels of engagement from developers and users quarter over quarter. Our total open PRs and Issues are roughly 25% more compared to June and the PMC is looking for ways to improve turnaround on code reviews, scaling test infrastructure. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AL: Report from the Apache Iceberg Project [Ryan Blue] ----------------------------------------- Attachment AM: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Justin Mclean] # Incubator PMC report for September 2022 The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. There are presently 34 podlings incubating. Podlings made 5 distinct releases. This month we were missing reports from Livy, SDAP, Spot, Teaclave, and Toree. All will be asked to report next month. Marvin-AI and PonyMaill don't have mentors' signoff and will also be asked to report next month. PonyMail has only one mentor and had three missed signoffs. StreamPark has joined the Incubator, although have some X category dependencies issues, it's nice that the team has preliminary plans to address them. Hivemall has passd retired VOTE. Some other podlings, like Livy, will retire next few months. The SkyWalking community released a tool called skywalking-eyes. It's a full-featured license tool to check and fix license headers and resolve dependencies' licenses. Besides, it offers various language support. but be careful， automated tools could help the project a lot and be a time saver for this work. but they can't fit all problems. MxNet is about to graduate and it has tackled some branding issues on the eve of graduation. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - Zhongyi Tan ### People who left the IPMC: - None ## New Podlings - StreamPark ## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month - Livy - Marvin-AI - PonyMail - SDAP - Spot - Teaclave - Toree ## Graduations - MXNet The board has motions for the following: - MXNet ## Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of August: - Sedona 1.2.1 - EventMesh 1.6.0 - DevLake 0.1.2.0 - SeaTunnel 2.1.3 - Kvrocks 2.1.0 ## IP Clearance - None ## Legal / Trademarks ## Infrastructure ## Miscellaneous ## Credits Calvin Kirs ## Table of Contents [Annotator](#annotator) [brpc](#brpc) [DataLab](#datalab) [EventMesh](#eventmesh) [Flagon](#flagon) [Kvrocks](#kvrocks) [Kyuubi](#kyuubi) [Milagro](#milagro) [Nemo](#nemo) [PageSpeed](#pagespeed) [Pegasus](#pegasus) [PonyMail](#ponymail) [Sedona](#sedona) [StreamPipes](#streampipes) [Training](#training) [Uniffle](#uniffle) [Wayang](#wayang) -------------------- ## Annotator Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and humans. Annotator has been incubating since 2016-08-30. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Incubation issues found by Whimsy. Some look correct (i.e. are pending action from us). Others are things we did when we joined the Incubator. - No Software Grant and No IP Clearance Filed - this was done at the onset of incubation iirc. - No Release Yet/Missing ASF Copyright Headers on Source Code - we have made releases, but apparently missed getting headers on everything. - No Release Yet/Binary has licensing issues - this is likely caused by the above. - No Podling Name Search on file - we're looking into how to initiate that process. 2. We need more (active) mentors...still. 3. Our release process is still cumbersome/lengthy, so we release rarely. ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? We would like to initial the podling name search if possible. Additional mentors would also be helpful. ### How has the community developed since the last report? We've added Richard Eckart de Castilho (rec) to the PPMC to help with voting and hopefully liaison with UIMA in which is also a member. ### How has the project developed since the last report? We are working to release an 0.3.0 release. The code has been ready for sometime, but we face cross-platform build issues and other annoyances which have held it back. We have also learned that Apache Annotator (despite it's pre-1.0 release status) is already in use in a production ereader web app for epubs. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

According to Github, the contributors is more than 210. - A meetup is host in Hangzhou China in August, together with Open source project EMQx. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AP: Report from the Apache Jackrabbit Project [Marcel Reutegger] ## Description: The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being maintained. Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the foundation of modern world-class websites and other demanding content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not implement all optional features from the JSR specifications, and it is not a reference implementation. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Jackrabbit was founded 2006-03-15 (16 years ago) There are currently 58 committers and 58 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Joerg Hoh was added to the PMC on 2022-07-01 - Joerg Hoh was added as committer on 2022-07-01 ## Project Activity: Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All maintenance branches and the main development branch are continuously seeing moderate to high activity. Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Jackrabbit Oak. The team decided to introduce a GitHub action that adds a label to open pull requests for Jackrabbit Oak that are older than two years. The intention is to reduce the number of open or abandoned pull requests and notify contributors to follow up on their change request. Stale pull requests without further activity are then closed automatically after 30 days. ## Community Health: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic mostly on the JIRA issues and GitHub pull requests reflecting the activity of the respective component. Commit activity is moderate, mirroring the activity on the JIRA issues and the desire of the individual contributors to bring features and improvements in for the next Jackrabbit Oak release. ## Releases: - jackrabbit-2.21.11 was released on 2022-06-10 - jackrabbit-2.20.6 was released on 2022-07-07 - jackrabbit-oak-1.44.0 was released on 2022-07-15 - jackrabbit-oak-1.22.12 was released on 2022-07-19 - jackrabbit-2.21.12 was released on 2022-08-11 - jackrabbit-2.16.10 was released on 2022-09-10 ## JIRA activity: - 168 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 144 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months ----------------------------------------- Attachment AQ: Report from the Apache jUDDI Project [Alex O'Ree] ## Description: - jUDDI (pronounced "Judy") is an open source Java implementation of the Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI v3) specification for (Web) Services. The jUDDI project includes Scout. Scout is an implementation of the JSR 93 - Java API for XML Registries 1.0 (JAXR). ## Issues: - There are no issues that require the board's attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache jUDDI was founded 2010-08-21 (11 years ago) There are currently 7 committers and 7 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Alex O'Ree on 2013-03-17. - No new committers were added. ## Activity: - jUDDI - last release was July 1, 2021 to address a reported security issue. Some recent development activities have been logged after discovering multiple issues after enabling CI builds using github actions. Getting help resolving these issues from committers has been difficult. We may consider moving the attic if the open issues cannot be resolved. - SCOUT - last release 10 DEC 2018. Resolved several bugs and dependencies. ## Health report: - Low development activity is a factor for low mailing list volume, but in all likelihood, it's from a general lack of interest in the protocol. - Minimal JIRA activity or mailing list activity (aside from spam) is also a factor for low development. - There are enough active PMC members to approve releases and respond to potential security issues. ## Releases: - 3.3.10 was released on 2021-07-01. - SCOUT-1.2.8 was released on Mon Dec 10 2018 ----------------------------------------- Attachment AR: Report from the Apache Karaf Project [Jean-Baptiste Onofré] ## Description: The mission of the Apache Karaf project is to provide an application ecosystem.

Some fixes has been done on Cave to be runnable on Karaf 4.4.x. A release will follow soon. ## Community Health: Even if we have slightly delay, Karaf 5 preparation is still running and we did good progress on the tooling branch (allowing to easily build runtime/launcher): https://github.com/jbonofre/karaf5 A blog post is in preparation to present Karaf 5. It will be follow by a proposal donation vote on the mailing list. We hope to announce karaf5 for ApacheCon. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AS: Report from the Apache Kibble Project [Sharan Foga] ## Description: The mission of Apache Kibble is the creation and maintenance of software related to an interactive project activity analyzer and aggregator ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Kibble was founded 2017-10-18 (5 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 13 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:7. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Michał Słowikowski on 2021-05-03. - No new committers. Last addition was Kaxil Naik on 2021-02-21. ## Project Activity: DevLake Collaboration We were contacted by Apache DevLake (incubating)[1] as their community is working on similar tools to Kibble but for different use cases.They requested information and gave us the opportunity to present Kibble to their community and answer any questions. [2].As a result we have a few people accessing the Kibble-1 repo and asking questions around setting it up. We have also added DevLake sources to Kibble so they can see and monitor their own community statistics. We will continue to collaborate with DevLake RoadMap Reboot A conversation has started to discuss how we could reboot the roadmap for Kibble development [3]. We should hopefully be able to provide more details on the progress of this in our next report. PMC Roll Call The project has had low activity for a while so we wanted to check that the project still have sufficient oversight from the PMC. A roll call was performed and was successful. ## Community Health: Our mailing list activity is low but we have been able to respond to the requests we have received. We are a small community that is looking to grow so hope the collaboration with DevLake and the rebooted roadmap can help provide some opportunities to improve that.

The Lucene project decided to move the issue tracking system from Jira to GitHub. This should simplify the creation of issues and patches, and should also increase the engagement with new contributors. This has been a huge work to map and migrate all issues. There were a bunch of tricky problems to solve, but it's finally complete thanks to an amazing work. Lucene build servers have been updated to run tests with the latest JDK 19. The two latest releases contain numerous features and optimizations. As usual release notes can be found at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/LUCENE/Release+Notes+9.3 Here is an extract: - Merge on full flush enabled by default, giving perf boost to NRT indexes. - New features for facets: getAllChildren, facetsets for high dimensions, and query filtering. - More control over index-sort optimizations. - Dynamic pruning of queries sorted by a string field, for massive speedup. - Two-clause disjunctions queries optimized for a 40%-75% speedup. - BooleanQuery count quickened. - KnnVectorQuery filter cache improved, KnnVector fields stored with 8 bits to save storage. ## Community Health: We continue to see a healthy increasing trend in the traffic of the dev@ mailing list. The number of code contributors decreases compared to the previous quarter, probably due to the summer season. GitHub activity is steady, following the same pace (https://home.apache.org/~mikemccand/lucenebench/github_pr_counts.html). ----------------------------------------- Attachment AU: Report from the Apache Lucene.Net Project [Shad Storhaug] ## Description: The mission of Lucene.Net is the creation and maintenance of software related to Search engine library targeted at .NET runtime users. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention ## Membership Data: Apache Lucene.Net was founded 2012-08-14 (10 years ago) There are currently 17 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.

This is most likely due to summer holidays and vacations being taken. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AV: Report from the Apache Mnemonic Project [Yanhui Zhao] ## Description: Apache Mnemonic is an open-source Java library for durable object-oriented programming on hybrid storage-class memory(e.g. NVM) space. It comes up with durable object model (DOM) and durable computing model(DCM) and takes full advantages of storage-class memory to simplify the code complexity, avoid SerDe/(Un)Marshal, mitigate caching for constructing next generation computing platforms. Mnemonic makes the storing and transmitting of massive linked objects graphs simpler and more efficient. The performance tuning could also be mostly converged to a single point of tuning place if based on Mnemonic to process and analyze linked objects. The programmer is able to focus on the durable object oriented business logic instead of worrying about how to normalize/join, SerDe(un)marshal, cache and store their linked business objects with arbitrary complexity. ## Issues: None during this report period ## Membership Data: Apache Mnemonic was founded 2020-11-30 (2 years ago) There are currently 21 committers and 14 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Chenyang Li on 2020-11-04. - No new committers. Last addition was Chunyong on 2021-10-05. ## Project Activity: We are planning our 0.18.0 release later this month, including completed and ongoing tasks related to 1. Support of a new memory service (memkind) 2. Durable object versioning design and implementation at memory services native level 3. Enabling rust lang dev env for native memory service development 4. Issue fixes for security vulnerabilities and dev dockers We also keep track of several inherent tasks and issues that were passed down from past releases, and may include some additional changes in this release as well. Edward (Chengyang) Li volunteers to be our release manager for this release, and is approved by the communities during the meetup discussion ## Community Health: We saw some decrease on the activities of the project of the past quarter, with several developers impacted by the economic downturn. We tried offering our help as a community by sharing helpful information and opportunities. During this report period, we have 16 issues opened, 11 issues closed, and 14 PR reviewed and merged. The number will increase slightly towards our next release planned by the end of this month. ## Reply to board's comments Li Shen was a developer, and volunteered to serve as the project PMC when the project got rebooted. Although serving in the PMC, we found Li doesn't have access to review and approve PRs from our project. One possibility is Li is PMC but not committer, so we want to grant him the committer access through voting, so he can contribute to the project by code reviewing/PR approval. Sorry for the confusion caused. Last report comments from the board: 2022_06_15: rbowen: I'm a little confused by your remark about voting on Li Shen as a committer. According to https://projects.apache.org/committee.html?mnemonic Li Shen is already a committer, and a PMC member. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AW: Report from the Apache Mynewt Project [Szymon Janc] ## Description: The mission of Apache Mynewt is the creation and maintenance of software related to an embedded OS optimized for networking and built for remote management of constrained devices that are incapable of running either Linux or Android ## Issues: None. ## Membership Data: Apache Mynewt was founded 2017-06-21 (5 years ago) There are currently 36 committers and 19 PMC members in this project.

We stil plan to do next release early Q4 2022. Community work in improvements in USB support, BSP and Bluetooth (major rework of controller radio drivers for Nordic nRF5x chips and Front-End-Module support, qualification related fixes). Few new sample applications were added to help newcomers. Bluetooth stack will require new Qualification Design ID from Bluetooth SIG and there is some initial discussion/questions in community on how this can be handled (in terms of work and fees). ## Community Health: We see decrease in overall number of PRs (related to summer holidays?). Questions on mailing list are answered timely. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AX: Report from the Apache NetBeans Project [Geertjan Wielenga] ## Description: The mission of Apache NetBeans is the creation and maintenance of software related to development environment, tooling platform, and application framework ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention ## Membership Data: Apache NetBeans was founded 2019-04-17 (3 years ago) There are currently 81 committers and 65 PMC members in this project.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:4. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was César García on 2021-10-01. - Iñigo Angulo Otegi was added as committer on 2022-08-29 ## Project Activity: It's been an interesting quarter. The project has seen numerous different initiatives. Our BACNet driver has gotten a lot of attention, same with a new C-Bus driver. Our Beckhoff ADS driver has received a major overhaul. Work on some drivers (Especially PROFINET) has been taken over by other members of the community. A lot of progress has been made on the Browse and Discovery API. Besides that the community has been working on PLC4PY (PLC4X on Python), PLC4RS (PLC4X on Rust). Also has PLC4Go recently received a text-based GUI application allowing to use the PLC4Go API from the commandline and something similar has been added to PLC4J as a JavaFX-based GUI application. We haven't had any releases in the last quarter. Our last releases were: 0.8.0 was released on 2021-01-28. 0.7.0 was released on 2020-05-25. 0.6.0 was released on 2020-03-01. However, we're currently tying up the last strings in preparation for our next release of version 0.10.0. Also will there be multiple presentations on PLC4X at the upcoming ApacheCon NA in New Orleans. ## Community Health: Communication-wise, it's been a pretty quiet quarter. I credit this to the fact that most people actively working on some of the features are working on them on their own, only syncing up every now and then. Nothing to be really concerned about. Looking at most of the metrics, most of them have increases from 70%-136% while the only decrease is on the dev@ and issues@ mailing lists ----------------------------------------- Attachment BG: Report from the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) Project [Nick Kew] ----------------------------------------- Attachment BH: Report from the Apache Portals Project [David Sean Taylor] ## Description: Apache Portals exists to promote the use of open source portal technology. We intend to build freely available and interoperable portal software in order to promote the use of this technology. With the Pluto project, we provide a reference implementation for the Java portlet standard. ## Issues: Since the most recent release on January 15, 2022, additional security fixes related to 3rd party libraries have been made and will be incorporated into the next release of Apache Pluto: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-796 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-797 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-799 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-800 Moving forward, unless there is a security vulnerability to address, releases will likely be done on an annual basis. ## Membership Data: Apache Portals was founded 2004-02-17 (19 years ago) There are currently 41 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Neil Griffin on 2017-02-11. - No new committers.

It is relatively stable and has been responding (albeit slowly) to provided patches for incorporation into its codebase. There is a desire to make a release to incorporate some recent work, but the community has not stood up to make this happen (yet). There are no outstanding security issues, but the PMC has enough eyes and willingness to handle this, should one arise. Recent roll calls easily demonstrate "presence", even though most people are currently focused on other activities. ----------------------------------------- Attachment BL: Report from the Apache ServiceMix Project [Krzysztof Sobkowiak] ----------------------------------------- Attachment BM: Report from the Apache ShardingSphere Project [Liang Zhang] ----------------------------------------- Attachment BN: Report from the Apache ShenYu Project [Yu Xiao] ## Description: ShenYu is a Java native API Gateway for service proxy, protocol conversion and API governance ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache ShenYu was founded 2022-07-20 (2 months ago) There are currently 41 committers and 23 PMC members in this project.

Kishor will continue to act as Chair until then. ## Community Health: The project community is doing well in terms of reporting new issues. There is no major activity to report. ----------------------------------------- Attachment BT: Report from the Apache Submarine Project [Liu Xun] ## Description: The mission of Apache Submarine is the creation and maintenance of software related to allowing infrastructure engineers and data scientists to build deep learning applications (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.) end to end on cluster management platforms (like YARN/K8s) ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Submarine was founded 2019-10-16 (3 years ago) There are currently 36 committers and 10 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Kai-Hsun Chen on 2021-07-27. - Xiang Chen was added as committer on 2022-07-16 - Brandon Lin was added as committer on 2022-07-26 ## Project Activity: Software development activity: - We have added support for k8s operator v3 in our master branch. Meetups and Conferences: - Technical exchange meetings are held twice a week. ## Community Health: There was a significant decrease in submission activity this quarter. The main reason for this is that many of the project's contributors are college students, many of whom were away on off-campus internships or had difficulty finding jobs this quarter. We understand that 2 companies have customized their development using submarine as the basis for their machine learning platform in-house, but they have not given back to the community the enhancements made to submarine because they do not have time to participate in community development now that the economy is not doing well. We will try to keep the community active. ----------------------------------------- Attachment BU: Report from the Apache Synapse Project [Isuru Udana] ----------------------------------------- Attachment BV: Report from the Apache Tomcat Project [Mladen Turk] ## Description: - A Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java WebSocket and Java Unified Expression language specifications implementation and Jakarta EE equivalents. ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time ## Membership Data: - Apache Tomcat was founded 2005-05-18 (17 years ago) - There are currently 48 committers and 28 PMC members in this project. - No new PMC members.

At least one or two of the individuals we attracted last quarter are still around and contributing periodically. Areas of contribution have largely been around updates to our comparison page for the different flavors of TomEE, library upgrades and one contributor indicating intentions to help implement MicroProfile specs. It's defininitely difficult to contribute to an app server project as the breath of feature set is so large. We're happy to see when people adopt a tiny piece such as a specific document, and we hope to broaden that interest to other docs or other areas of the server -- both are good. ## Activity MicroProfile 5.0 support moved from discussion to action and the community has largely completed migrating from the Geronimo MicroProfile implementations to the SmallRye MicroProfile implemenations. All TCK tests are passing aside from MicrProfile OpenTracing and MicroProfile JWT. MicroProfile JWT support is implemented natively in TomEE, not using Geronimo or SmallRye, and down to 2 failures. With the switch we are effectively jumping from MicroProfile 2.0 compliance all the way to MicroProfile 5.0, which is the most current version. The outcome has been overwhelmingly positive and has allowed some extra time to start looking at and giving feedback on the draft specs for MicroProfile 6.0, which is still in development. Being able to spend even a sliver of time working on the next major version of a MicroProfile spec while it's being developed is a significant milestone for the project. This is something we previously could only have dreamed of as we were in a perpetual state of catching up. We look forward to increasing that contribution across all the specs we implement in the coming months and years. Our current plan is to finish and release a final TomEE 9 compliant with Jakarta EE 9.1 and MicroProfile 5.0 then immediately switch to TomEE 10 targeting the very recently released Jakarta EE 10 and soon-to-be released MicroProfile 6.0. Some TCK work still remains for Jakarta EE 9.1 compliance with about 15 failing tests out of over 32,000. If all goes well, we will hopefully be writing about the TomEE 9 final release in our next board report. An attempt was made in early August to release an updated TomEE 7.1.x with some small fixes, however, the vote did not pass as the binaries contained several unfixed CVEs. The last TomEE 7.1.x release was 7.1.4 released on September 25th, 2020. There did not appear to be interest in fixing all outstanding CVEs as several the respective communities of affected libraries have stopped maintaining those versions. ## PMC changes: - Currently 13 PMC members. - Last PMC addition Richard Zowalla on May 23rd, 2022 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 33 committers. - Last committer added was Richard Zowalla on January 6th 2021 ## Releases: - Apache TomEE 8.0.12 on June 14th, 2022 - Apache TomEE jakartaee-api-9.1-M2 jar on June 20th, 2022 - Apache TomEE 9.0.0-M8 on July 5th, 2022 ----------------------------------------- Attachment BX: Report from the Apache Traffic Control Project [Eric Friedrich] ## Description: The mission of Apache Traffic Control is the creation and maintenance of software related to building, monitoring, configuring, and provisioning a large scale content delivery network (CDN) ## Issues: There are no issues requiring the board's attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Traffic Control was founded 2018-05-15 (4 years ago) There are currently 28 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

Little feedback from the user side, more activity on the developer side. There were attempts in bootstrapping contributions to the non-Apache (but UIMA-based) ClearTK OSS project to update this project to UIMAv3 and thereby also contribute to unblocking the switch of Apache cTAKES to UIMAv3 - a bit of progress has been made here... ----------------------------------------- Attachment CA: Report from the Apache Unomi Project [Serge Huber] ## Description: The mission of Apache Unomi is the creation and maintenance of software related to providing a reference implementation of the OASIS Customer Data Platform specification currently being worked on by the OASIS Context Server Technical Committee ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Unomi was founded 2019-02-20 (4 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 7 PMC members in this project.

At the same time we are releasing 1.6.1 (currently in voting) to address some minor issues. We are particularly focused on release automation and CI/CD which really helps with overall quality. As well, we are introducing a new Javascript tracker that will be much simpler and easier to get started with. ## Community Health: The community of contributors is very active, especially on the committers side. We don't have a lot of traffic on the mailing lists as people usually prefer to reach us on Slack. Despite this we consider the community healthy, but we suspect there are a lot of users out there that we are not in touch with and will try to make efforts to meet them (meetups, etc..). Here are the usual statistics: - dev@unomi.apache.org had a 10% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (385 emails compared to 427) - users@unomi.apache.org had a 64% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (11 emails compared to 30) - 72 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (100% increase) - 63 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (142% increase) - 125 commits in the past quarter (-12% change) - 12 code contributors in the past quarter (20% increase) - 66 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (57% increase) - 67 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (116% increase) ----------------------------------------- Attachment CB: Report from the Apache VCL Project [Josh Thompson] ## Description: The mission of the Apache VCL project is to create and maintain of software related to a modular cloud computing platform which dynamically provisions and brokers remote access to compute resources. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache VCL was founded 2012-06-19 (10 years ago) There are currently 10 committers and 8 PMC members in this project.

Last addition was Mike Jennings on 2019-01-04. ## Project Activity: - Last release: 2019-07-25 - Use of VCL and involvement in the VCL community has dropped to pretty small numbers over the last few years. There are still people using it. The few committers left have not had much time to put toward getting another release out, which is why it has now been over 3 years. We realize that is a really long time. We do want to get a newer release out, and have some specific things we'd like included in it, but making the time to get it done has been difficult. ## Community Health: Nothing has changed here - VCL continues to be a small but functioning community. We still have committers, PMC members, and users. ----------------------------------------- Attachment CC: Report from the Apache Velocity Project [Nathan Bubna] ## Description: The mission of Velocity is the creation and maintenance of software related to A Java Templating Engine ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Velocity was founded 2006-10-24 (16 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.

As for the previous quarter much of the work done on the last quarter was amid to optimize existing code and improve overall performances and memory usage. For the next main release, Wicket 10, we must necessarily wait for Spring 6 to become GA as we depend on it for module wicket-spring. ## Community Health: Nothing in particular to report this quarter. Community is stable and collaborative but we haven't found possible candidates for PCM. ----------------------------------------- Attachment CF: Report from the Apache Xerces Project [Michael Glavassevich] Xerces-J Aside from a minor bug fix that was made in June, it's been a quiet period. The W3C has been experimenting with redirecting all of their DTD and XML Schema resources to https. Clients of these documents noticed connection failures when using Xerces and other XML processors. No one from the W3C has approached the Xerces community about this issue yet. The W3C may not go through with this change, but if they do, users should maintain a local cache of these resources and use a resolver (such as an XML catalog) to load them. This has always been the best practice. Mailing list traffic has been low; roughly 35+ posts on the j-dev and j-users lists since the beginning of June 2022. No new releases since the previous report. The latest release is Xerces-J 2.12.2 (January 24th, 2022). Xerces-C The activity since the previous report has been limited to a few mailing list discussions and comments on JIRA issues. There was no development activity. The last commit to Xerces-C in GitHub was made back in March. Mailing list traffic has been low; roughly 45+ posts on the c-dev and c-users lists since the beginning of June 2022. No new releases since the previous report. The latest release is Xerces-C 3.2.3 (April 10th, 2020). Xerces-P As requested by the ASF infrastructure team, the required checksum files were uploaded for the XML-Xerces-2.7.0-0.tar.gz archive. No other activity to report. XML Commons As requested by the ASF infrastructure team, the required signature files were generated and uploaded for the xml-commons-resolver-1.2 archives. No other activity to report. Committer / PMC Changes The most recent committers were added in April 2017 (Xerces-C) and May 2017 (Xerces-J). No new PMC members since the last report. The most recent addition to the PMC was in June 2016. One committer has committed changes to SVN since June 2022. ----------------------------------------- Attachment CG: Report from the Apache Yetus Project [Allen Wittenauer] ## Description: The mission of Yetus is the creation and maintenance of software related to collection of libraries and tools that enable contribution and release processes for software projects ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Yetus was founded 2015-09-15 (7 years ago) There are currently 12 committers and 9 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 4:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Akira Ajisaka on 2018-12-17. - No new committers. Last addition was Akira Ajisaka on 2018-02-06. ## Project Activity: Recent releases: - 0.14.0 was released on 2022-05-07. - 0.13.0 was released on 2020-11-27. - 0.12.0 was released on 2020-04-13. Apache Yetus releases are consumed by other Apache projects as basis for precommit and other testing workflows which automatically check new contributions against a variety of community accepted requirements. Because those requirements are established practice and do not often change there can be long periods of time where no changes to Yetus are required, and no releasing is necessary. ## Community Health: * dev@yetus.apache.org had a 750% increase in traffic in the past quarter (17 emails compared to 2) * gitbox@yetus.apache.org had a 375% increase in traffic in the past quarter (114 emails compared to 24) * 6 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-84% change) * 3 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-94% change) * 4 commits in the past quarter (-91% decrease) * 3 code contributors in the past quarter (no change) * 4 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-89% change) * 3 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-91% change) commits@ has ASF repo activity. gitbox@ has Github-repo activity. All of our development activity is on github. Because Yetus tooling provides mature functionality for stable downstream testing workflows, project activity can be expected to be sporadic and spiky in nature. ----------------------------------------- Attachment CH: Report from the Apache ZooKeeper Project [Flavio Paiva Junqueira] ## Description: Apache ZooKeeper is a system for distributed coordination. It enables the implementation of a variety of primitives and mechanisms that are critical for safety and liveness in distributed settings, e.g., distributed locks, master election, group membership, and configuration. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache ZooKeeper was founded 2010-11-17 (12 years ago) There are currently 30 committers and 16 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Mate Szalay-Beko on 2022-03-28. - No new committers. Last addition was Ling Mao on 2021-01-16. ## Project Activity: No release in the reporting period. Release branch 3.5 was made end-of-line, and the community is now focusing on release branches 3.6 through 3.8. Release 3.7.1 is the latest stable release while we stabilize the 3.8 branch. ## Community Health: We have been observing in the recent past projects that have historically used ZooKeeper for distributed coordination moving to alternatives, such as other coordination systems or their own Raft implementation. Project traffic, consequently, has been dropping, although there is still sufficient interest in maintaining the project as many applications still rely on ZooKeeper. In this last reporting period, however, traffic was very low across multiple metrics, see below. It is possible that it is at least in part due to summer break, but we will regardless keep tracking traffic metrics to determine whether this is a trend or seasonal. We will also continue to work with the community to encourage more participation, especially from new contributors. - dev@zookeeper.apache.org had a 31% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (74 emails compared to 106) - issues@zookeeper.apache.org had a 32% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (195 emails compared to 286) - notifications@zookeeper.apache.org had a 36% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (244 emails compared to 377) - user@zookeeper.apache.org had a 55% increase in traffic in the past quarter (56 emails compared to 36) - 51 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-21% change) - 14 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-67% change) - 17 commits in the past quarter (-85% change) - 9 code contributors in the past quarter (-64% change) - 27 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-52% change) - 16 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-62% change) ------------------------------------------------------ End of minutes for the September 21, 2022 board meeting.
