Burr

This was extracted (@ 2025-10-11 22:10) from a list of minutes which have been approved by the Board.

Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting. ASF Members may have access to a private draft of these still-unapproved minutes.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

Burr is a lightweight in-process python framework that standardizes the
expression and execution of state machines as action-driven graphs, while
making graph execution easily observable. It is particularly suited for AI
agent workflows, simulations, and other dynamic systems, and comes with a
self-hostable observability UI that integrates with OpenTelemetry.

Burr has been incubating since 2025-05-24.

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

 1. Finish check list to be able to make a release
 2. Start releasing
 3. Enable more contributors

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

### How has the community developed since the last report?
 Flat. Discord continues to trickle in.
 One user wants to contribute a UI.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
 1. One new feature was merged.
 2. Some PRs were merged for licensing etc. But still more work needed for
 first release.

 I think so. No issues thus far.
