Baremaps

19 Mar 2025 ¶

Apache Baremaps is a toolkit and a set of infrastructure components for
creating, publishing, and operating online maps.

Baremaps has been incubating since 2022-10-10.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Reviewing compliance with Apache standards.
 2. Expanding the community.
 3. Making releases.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 No.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 Since the December release in 2024, there has been an uptick in
 contributions. We still struggle with the pace of releases, but the overall
 involvement seems to be increasing.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 The February release summarizes well the latest developments:
 https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/releases/tag/v0.8.2

    Comments: Project is indeed near graduation. I recommend that
      they start graduation discussions on dev@.
      My takeaway from the recent release is diversity of
      contributors; 12 issues fixed by 6 contributors is an
      indication that the project is becoming more broad-based.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Reviewing compliance with Apache standards.
 2. Expanding the community.
 3. Making releases.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 Several animated discussions allowed us to address licensing issues.
 The fact that practices vary widely across top-level projects does not
make
 the process easier.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 Since the last release in December 2024, there has been an uptick in
 contributions.
 We still struggle with the pace of releases, but the overall involvement
 seems to be increasing.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 The last release effectively summarizes the project's development since
the
 previous report.
 https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/releases/tag/v0.8.1

 More recently, we welcomed three new contributors.
 Yongjun Hong contributed issue templates and github actions to facilitate
 the onboarding of new commers.
 Alex Gacon fixed performance issues affecting the latest release.
 Rohit Yaduvanshi improved the maven artifacts.

 Julian Hyde and Calvin Kirs provided valuable feedback.
 More generally, we struggle to get sufficient votes from PPMC members on
 our dev mailing list, which slows down the release process.

Justin Mclean:
I would take care in copying what TLP do, as you may not understand why they
did things in a certain way, you are better off following teh current
Incubator guidances.

 --------------------
## Cloudberry

Cloudberry is one advanced and mature open-source Massively Parallel
Processing (MPP) database, which evolves from the open-source version of
the Pivotal Greenplum Database®️ but features a newer PostgreSQL kernel and
more advanced enterprise capabilities. It can serve as a data warehouse and
can also be used for large-scale analytics and AI/ML workloads.

Cloudberry has been incubating since 2024-10-11.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Finish the source code cleanup.
     * Rename the old brand:
 https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/pull/731.
     * Update the NOTICE and LICENSE files
 https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/pull/812.
     * Check the Apache License headers.
 2. Publish the first Apache release.
 3. Grow the community and attract more contributors and users.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 No.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 1. We shared project updates across social channels and encouraged
 community members to submit sessions for upcoming conferences.
 2. Our Slack community has grown to 128 members.
 3. Key topics are actively discussed on the mailing list (92
 messages in Nov 2024, 110 messages in Dec 2024, and 49 messages in Jan
 2025).
 4. 6 new contributors to the main repo since joining the Apache
 Incubator.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 - We established a basic CI/CD workflow using GitHub Actions to support
 daily development activities.
 - We initiated and finalized the Cloudberry roadmap discussion.
 Currently, we’re focusing on high-priority tasks, including cherry-picking
 commits from the open-source Greenplum project into Cloudberry.
 - Additionally, we’ve been enriching documentation and enhancing the site
 user experience.

 2. Growing the community

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 We believe that most of the issues related to licensing have now been
 addressed. The next step is to remove the DISCLAIMER-WIP in future releases.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 No new committer joined the project, but a few issues, documentation
 improvements, and pull requests were submitted by external contributors.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 We released a new version of Baremaps and the process went relatively
 smoothly. A nice collaborative effort also started to implement a
 GeoParquet reader and to support OvertureMaps files.

 1. Reviewing the changes made to make the code and documentation website

 2. Growing the community

 3. Making releases

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 We underestimated the effort required to make the project compliant with
 Apache guidelines.
 In particular, some datasets used in the code (EPSG) and in the tests
 (OpenStreetMap, NaturalEarth, Ripe, etc.) were causing licensing issues.
 We hope that closing these issues will help us increase the release
 frequency and focus on growing the community.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 No new committer joined the project.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 We have now been able to remove all the licensed datasets with synthetic
 ones, and we should be able to remove the disclaimer-wip soon.
 We improved the style and the tileset of the basemap.
 We introduced a new workflow for the daylight map distribution (Microsoft
 and Google Building Footprints, Facebook Experimental ML Roads, etc.)[1,2].
 We added support for the PMTiles format.

Baremaps has been incubating since 2022-10-10.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Getting the code and documentation website in compliance with Apache

 2. Growing the community
 3. Making releases

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 We acknowledge that we need to make progress on community building and will
 try to focus on this aspect in 2024.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 We had a few external contributions to the project, but no new committer
 joined the community. Most notably, Joe Polastre, from FlightAware, the
 world's largest flight tracking and data platform, created a fast tile
 exporter for Baremaps written in Go [1]. Some of his ideas have already
 been contributed back to the project. We also started interesting
 discussions with the Apache SIS community regarding spatial data codecs [2].

 [2] https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/discussions/805

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 - We addressed many of the podling requirements for the latest release.
 - We also added support for PMTiles, 3D building extrusion, and
 minutely/hourly/daily diffs from OpenStreetMap.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 Someone submitted our website to HackerNews and we remained on the
 frontpage for about 16 hours [1]. Our demonstration server hosted on
 Hetzner (16 cores; 128GB of RAM; 8TB of NVMe SSD) successfully sustained
 this load and served more than 40GB of tiles from Postgis during this
 period of time [2]. Additionally, the OpenStreetMap Wiki now offers the
 possibility to display vector maps based on Baremaps on its pages [3].
This
 raises the following question: Could the demonstration server be hosted by
 the ASF at some point?

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 The activity has increased. Five people made their first contribution to
 the code base since the last report, one of whom has been elected as a
 committer in May. The activity on the mailing list is very low, but the
 number of exchanges on GitHub increased.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 We significantly improved the basemap at low zoom levels
 We improved the layout and the content of the web site
 We continued to address licensing issues
 We attended the OGC/OSGeo/ASF code sprint and improve support for OGC API
 We fixed bugs and addressed issues
