## Description: Apache Dubbo is an easy-to-use Web and RPC framework that provides different language implementations, service discovery, traffic management, observability, security, tools, and best practices for building enterprise-ready microservices. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing: With high activity. Issues for the board: In the last report, I mentioned about 'raising the committer bar' in the community. Rich has put forward some different opinions on this point, and we have discussed it in the community, the link to the discussion is here https://lists.apache.org/thread/ggrlfzxrsv835p96vt427z7jg80ofcwl. To sum my points up, when saying raising the bar, I mainly refer to the main repo apache/dubbo for it has a very high activity level and we have no worry about less of contributions. For other projects, like apache/dubbo-go, apache/dubbo-kubernetes, we are still positive and willing to vote for new committers as a way of encouraging active and qualified contributors. Issues for the board: Jun Liu from Apache Dubbo initiated the request for establishing ALC Hangzhou, two other PMC members from the community show interest in participating. Issues for the board: apache/dubbo project is approaching 40K stars, which is an important milestone for both Dubbo and Apache, so I wonder if we can have some kind of promotion, such as an official blog article on ASF site? ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (5 years ago) There are currently 99 committers and 29 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was YouWei Chen on 2023-04-21. - Yuxuan Wang was added as committer on 2023-11-14 - Libin Zhang was added as committer on 2023-11-21 Right now, there are about 2-3 candidates who are qualified to be promoted as committers in the next quarter. ## Project Activity: There're more than 6 projects have new releases or deploymeht updates: - 4 releases for apache/dubbo - 1 release for apache/dubbo-go - 1 release for apache/dubbo-go-pixiu - 1 release for apache/dubbo-admin - Active contributions see on apache/dubbo-kubernetes - online service update for apache/dubbo-initializer at start.dubbo.apache.org - new documentation for apache/dubbo and apache/dubbo-go at dubbo-next.staged.apache.org. The community plan to release a new doc version for both chinese and english at the beginning of the next quarter. ## Community Health: There are more than 6 projects that maintain good activity level in the community in the last quarter. Some projects like apache/dubbo-kubernetes and apache/dubbo-go did a great job in attracting contributors.
Will be looked at again at the next reporting cycle for committer to PMC ratio.
## Description: Apache Dubbo is an easy-to-use Web and RPC framework that provides different language implementations, service discovery, traffic management, observability, security, tools, and best practices for building enterprise-ready microservices. ## Project Status: Current project status: ongoing, with high activity. Issues for the board: no isuse needs board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (4 years ago) There are currently 97 committers and 29 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was YouWei Chen on 2023-04-21. - Guoqing Cong was added as committer on 2023-08-18 - Beining Liang was added as committer on 2023-08-18 - Xiaobin Wang was added as committer on 2023-08-18 The reason why there are only a few or even no new committers elected is that we have increased the bar of becoming a new committer, not because lack of active contributors. There're currently 1~2 committer candidates who might be promoted in the next quarter. ## Project Activity: Development activities mainly focus on two targets 1. one is the design and implementation the new Triple protocol, all language implementations from apache/dubbo, apache/dubbo-go, apache/dubbo-rust, apache/dubbo-js were working to achieve this goal; 2. another goal is about apache3/dubbo-go, we put lots of effort on refactoring apache/dubbo-go, aiming to provide a better user API and module architecture. In this quarter, two programming summer projects were successfully completed, and students from eight projects successfully completed the tasks. So far this year, we have successfully attended 3 open source programming events organized by third-party organizations. ## Community Health: Developing activities and discussions are extremely healthy according to the data collected by the reporter.

## Description: Apache Dubbo is an easy-to-use Web and RPC framework that provides different language implementations, service discovery, traffic management, observability, security, tools, and best practices for building enterprise-ready microservices. ## Issues: No issues need board attention in this quarter. ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (4 years ago) There are currently 94 committers and 29 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1. Community changes, past quarter: - YouWei Chen was added to the PMC on 2023-04-21 - Robert Lu was added as committer on 2023-05-09 ## Project Activity: The project development and release activities can be found here https://reporter.apache.org/wizard/statistics?dubbo We enrolled into 3 programming camping events in the last quarter with now around 12 projects in progress. The community has actively participated in the promotion of the Community Over Code 2023 conference in the last quarter. Now we have 8 topics related to Dubbo from different committers, contributors, and enterprise users submitted to the committee. ## Community Health: Developing activities and discussions are extremely healthy according to the data collected by the reporter: https://reporter.apache.org/wizard/statistics?dubbo
## Description: Apache Dubbo is an easy-to-use Web and RPC framework that provides different language implementations, service discovery, traffic management, observability, security, tools, and best practices for building enterprise-ready microservices. ## Issues: Dubbo participated in the 2023 Google Summer of Codesub-projects, with a total of 6 sub-projects in the community registering for 28 tasks and has received, 36 proposals, accounting for approximately 25% of Apache's total proposal count (36/138). On the one hand, the Dubbo community is very large and includes projects implemented in multiple languages, including a group of side projects. Therefore, we have many tasks suitable for students to participate in; On the other hand, the Dubbo community has always been in a very healthy and active state, and student developers have become an important channel for us to cultivate future contributors and maintain the long-term healthy development of the community in the past two years. Therefore, we are conducting a detailed evaluation of the proposals we have received, and we will mark those well-written proposals, we don't expect to keep all of the proposals but hope to keep all those good ones as much as possible. ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (4 years ago) There are currently 92 committers and 28 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Xuewei Niu was added to the PMC on 2023-01-19 - Deng Zhengwei was added as committer on 2023-02-10 - XiaoSheng Song was added as committer on 2023-03-03 - Chen Youwei passed the PMC vote and the board notice email has sent. ## Project Activity: The community has been focusing on building a better ecosystem around Dubbo, so many of the activities in the past quarter happened on some side projects like dubbo-rust, dubbo-admin, dubbo-website, dubbo-go, dubbo-initializer etc. Release or activities classified by the project: ● apache/dubbo, more than 10 releases in this quarter, 3.2.0 is another milestone release coming this month. ● apache/dubbo-go, refactor and usability improvement undergoing ● apache/dubbo-rust, v0.3.0 released and v0.4.0 will be released in next quarter ● apache/dubbo-website, new website version released, a major follow-up update will come soon ● apache/dubbo-admin, features rewritten with go ready, integration tests undergoing. ● apache/dubbo-initializer, for users to quickly launch a demo dubbo project, is about to release in this month ## Community Health: Developing activities and discussions are extremely healthy according to the data collected by the reporter. In the past quarter, we have still received a certain number of vulnerability risk reports, perhaps 5-6 or even more, although most of them are still discussing the same type of known issues, and some are invalid reports. This indicates that on the one hand, we still receive attention from the security field, and on the other hand, we should put notice of the avoidance or solution methods on a better-inknown place.
## Description: Apache Dubbo is an easy-to-use Web and RPC framework that provides different language implementations, service discovery, traffic management, observability, security, tools, and best practices for building enterprise-ready microservices. ## Issues: No issues need board attention in this reporting cycle. ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded on 2019-05-15 (4 years ago) There are currently 90 committers and 27 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was YunXing Zhao on 2022-07-29. - Wang Xiaoxiong was added as committer on 2022-12-15 - Peng Jiaxin was added as committer on 2022-11-03 - Ma Zhihui was added as committer on 2022-12-03 - Yang Yang was added as committer on 2022-11-08 Same as in the last quarter, all the newly added committers are from side projects. No new PMCs are added because the community has decided to tighten the issuance of PMC membership. ## Project Activity: The community has been focusing on building a better ecosystem around Dubbo, so many of the activities in the past quarter happened on some side projects like dubbo-rust, dubbo-admin, dubbo-website, dubbo-go, etc. Release or activities classified by project: - apache/dubbo, 11 releases of 3 active branches with 3 still under voting. - apache/dubbo-go, integrated with other opensource projects like Apache RocketMQ and Polaris - apache/dubbo-rust, v0.2.0 released, v0.3.0 is almost ready - apache/dubbo-node, we are still working with the first official Dubbo3 release, this has been delayed for a while for the complexity of the Triple protocol implementation. - apache/dubbo-website, a brand new website and documentation version is about ready to release at the beginning of the next quarter. - apache/dubbo-admin, the refactoring of this project with Go language is undergoing, we expect Admin to be more active and rich in cloud-native features by migrating to a more cloud-native programming language. Dubbo has won awards from some open-source or media organizations in China, including The 2022 Most Popular Open-source Project from CSDN, 2022 Healthy Community Case from OSC, etc, proving Dubbo is a popular and well-recognized open-source project and community. ## Community Health: In the past quarter, Dubbo's Github activity, including commit, issue and pull request, has increased significantly, because we have published some features in our Roadmap (including observability, proxyless mesh, http/rest, etc.) to Github and encouraged developers to contribute, which has received good returns. We will continue to promote this model in the near future. Some language projects are not very active this quarter. Some are due to the lack of users, and some are due to the lack of new feature plans at a certain stage. We should consider devoting more efforts to these projects in the next quarter to bring them back on the right track.

## Description: Apache Dubbo is a high-performance, lightweight RPC framework that provides multi-language implementations, including Java, Golang, Rust, etc. ## Issues: The substantial content migration of https://dubbogo.github.io/ to https://dubbo.apache.org/ has mostly been done with both the documentaion and contribution guides have pointed to https://dubbo.apache.org/ aleady. I believe we would be able to close or redirect that site directly in the next report cycle after we migrated the blog and the other parts. ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (3 years ago) There are currently 85 committers and 26 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Ian Luo willing to step down as chair and the community has voted Jun Liu as the new chair. Board aganda of the change has created and will be discussed in the coming board monthly meeting. - One more PMC member in voting process right now. - Zhongming Hua was added to the PMC on 2022-07-06 - Binbin Zhang was added as committer on 2022-04-26 - Yuecai Liu was added as committer on 2022-04-26 - Ruishan Sun was added as committer on 2022-05-03 - Wang Chengming was added as committer on 2022-07-06 ## Project Activity: The community has been focuing two main branches in the past quarter regarding development, they are 3.0.x bugfixes and 3.1.x definition. Java * 3.0.9 was released on 2022-06-11. * 3.0.8 was released on 2022-05-11. Go * dubbo-go v3.0.2 was released on 2022-06-05. * dubbo-go v1.5.9-rc1 was released on 2022-06-04. A bunch of Summer of Code (Google Summer of Code, Alibaba Summer of Code, etc) projects are undergoing with students being active in certain topics. All mentors and students are doing well so far. ## Community Health: * Significant increase in both issues and PRs created or triaged on Github, we see increase in both users filing issues to give feedingbacks and maintainers focusing on developments. * More side projects like Dubbo-admin and Dubbo-rust are seeing active contributions. * We have most proposal or plans determined before so the community can simply focusing on executing and that's one reason of the dev mailing list traffic drop, becaust most activities are happening on Github. * The community has reached an agreement on holding bi-weekly meetings and has practiced several times. * The community has been doing online live streaming once a week by encouraging active contributors to share knowledge of our projects for two weeks and will continue to do so.
## Description: Apache Dubbo is a high-performance, lightweight RPC framework that provides implementations of different languages, including Java, Golang, Javascript, etc. ## Issues: We have discussed and reached an agreement with the owner of the website https://dubbogo.github.io/ of migrating all docs from there to the official Dubbo website https://dubbo.apache.org/ and completely obsolete that site soon. The migration work is still in progress for the seek of not affecting existing users. We plan to address this issue completely before the next board report cycle comes. ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (3 years ago) There are currently 81 committers and 25 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Guo Hao was added to the PMC on 2022-02-18 - Zhang Tian was added to the PMC on 2022-01-27 - YouWei Chen was added as committer on 2022-03-17 - Hao Yan was added as committer on 2022-04-02 ## Project Activity: The whole community did a great job in the past quarter on the development of its 3.0 architecture. Both Java and Golang released several versions which have significantly improved each language's stability respectively. Java * 3.0.7 was released on 2021-12-30. * 3.0.6 was released on 2021-12-29. Go * dubbo-go-pixiu v0.5.0-rc1 was released on 2022-03-21. * dubbo-go v3.0.1 was released on 2022-02-20. * dubbo-go v1.5.8-rc1 was released on 2022-02-08. Ecosystem * dubbo-spi-extensions-1.0.1 was released on 2022-03-14. ## Community Health: The community has seen a notable drop in the statistics of Github activities, with commits dropping 34%, issues dropping 37%, and pull requests 45%. One of the main reasons is that our product has achieved one major milestone so the development activities do not happen as often as before. The data will increase if we can attract more users to migrate to 3.0 or if we start the next round of feature evolvement soon as planned. To further increase influence and attract contributors, we will bring the following topics into discussion in the coming quarter (some of them have already started): * Make a roadmap for the whole community and make it public very soon. * Attract more users to migrate to 3.0 architecture. * To hold regular weekly meetings to better interact with developers and attract more contributors. * Participate in the GSoC 2022 event with more than 10 projects and nearly 10 mentors. * Attend ApacheCon Asia 2022. We also see a plunge in UV and PV from the official website according to Google statistics. The reason for that is probably the poor documentation quality and experience there. To change the situation, we will focus on building better documentation later.

Part 2, other community activities - The community attended the event held by Alibaba aiming at rewarding open-source comunities and personalities. Dubbo community has successfully collected 100+ contributors publicly to work as the receiver of the gifts provided by the sponsor. ## Community Health: The most notable progress in this reporting cycle is that Dubbo 3 has released the production available version - 3.0.5. At present, we have seen 6 community users have officially migrated to Dubbo3, which is a significant milestone for Dubbo3 and is helpful for further improving the overall stability of Dubbo3. For the whole community, there are two priorities in the next quarter, one is to continue to improve the stability of Dubbo3, and the other is to provide feasible mesh solutions. The independent website maintained by the dubbo-go community was found to have potential copyright problems. The community has reached an agreement on obseleting the website as soon as possible. At present, the substantive content migration has been obsoleting completed. The response timeliness of Github community has been significantly improved. In the past reporting cycle, the total number of issues has been well kept around 300.

The community has built a steady releasing pace through the past 2 quarters by guaranteeing at least 1 new release per month. The new round of issue and pull request clean-up action is working well. We have seen that the issue has decreased by 20% and the open PR number is kept at around 30. This means that the users can expect more and quicker replies from the community in the coming quarter.
## Description: Apache Dubbo is a high-performance, lightweight RPC framework used to facilitate the build of the Microservices architecture. ## Issues: The community continues to receive many security vulnerability reports, and the entire community has not paid enough attention to this part at first. But the good thing is that in the second half of the reporting cycle, the entire community has significantly increased its emphasis on vulnerability fixes. Several versions have been released for this purpose, and the speed of response to new reports has also been significantly improved. We wonder if there are any security scanning mechanisms in the Apache community that can help us quickly and intensively find out those potential vulnerabilities, so that we can focus on repairing them, so as to avoid passively following third-party security agency reports which unavoidingly added bad reputations to both the project and the Apache community. I have to admit that our entire community is still relatively weak in this regard. ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (2 years ago) There are currently 69 committers and 21 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 Liu Yang on 2021-02-08. Albumen Kevin has been voted as PMC member and is in progress of board notification. - William Feng was added as committer on 2021-06-28 - Jason Zhang was added as committer on 2021-04-20 - Zhang Tian was added as committer on 2021-06-26 ## Project Activity: Dubbo 2.7.10 was released on 2021-04-02. Dubbo 2.7.11 was released on 2021-05-07. Dubbo 2.6.10.1 was released on 2021-05-30. Dubbo 2.7.12 was released on 2021-06-11. Dubbo 3.0.0 was released on 2021-06-16. Dubbo-go 1.5.6 was released on 2021-04-09. Dubbo-go 1.5.7-RC1 was released on 2021-05-17. Dubbo-go 3.0.0-RC1 was released on 2021-05-15. Dubbo-go 3.0.0-RC2 was released on 2021-06-17. Dubbo-js 4.0.0 is ready and in voting progress. ## Community Health: We have been focusing on the development and iteration of the product itself in the past quarter, these includes the development of planned features, bug fixes of stable version, and the merging and review of developer contributions. That explains why there's a significant increase in Github-related activity. For a long period of time in the future, we expect to continue to focus on product development, focusing on features that have been concluded and planned but have not yet been fulfilled. Commit activity: 936 commits in the past quarter (-21% decrease) 125 code contributors in the past quarter (-13% change) GitHub PR activity: 749 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (15% increase) 805 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (5% increase) GitHub issues: 376 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (22% increase) 343 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (6% increase)
## Description: The mission of Apache Dubbo is the creation and maintenance of software related to a high-performance, lightweight, java based RPC framework. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (2 years ago) There are currently 66 committers and 21 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1. The newly added 8 members come from 5 different companies.

In order to improve regression, we have built dubbo-samples as dubbo's integration test. - The first dubbo 3.0 release, 3.0.0.preview, has been released at the end of March. The community has published the 3.0 roadmap of this year.

Community developers began to discuss more about issues related to 3.0 refactoring or development in the mailing lists,
## Description: The mission of Apache Dubbo is the creation and maintenance of software related to a high-performance, lightweight, java based RPC framework. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (2 years ago) There are currently 59 committers and 20 PMC members in this project.

The community starts to work on dubbo-go 3.0 to align with dubbo java but the progress is slow. - dubbo don't have any release in this quarter, 2.7.8 is still under development. We are focusing on dubbo 3.0 development, and security issues reported against 2.7.8. In order to improve regression, we are building dubbo-samples as dubbo's integration test. - dubbo 3.0 is under development and is expected to have a preview release in late of this month. - dubbo-website is rebuilt based on docsy in order to enhance user experience. ## Community Health: - dev@dubbo.apache.org had a 53% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (91 emails compared to 192) - 815 commits in the past quarter (11% increase) - 103 code contributors in the past quarter (37% increase) - 416 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (46% increase) - 357 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (45% increase) - 312 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (-5% decrease) - 126 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (-62% decrease) From the stats in this quarter, it appears the community needs to focus on issue and pull request, and release more frequently on the branch of 2.7 in the next quarter.

Comments: I agree the podling is nearing graduation. Another month
or two to consolidate their understanding of how Apache
projects operates and I think they'll be ready to graduate.
[X](dubbo) David Fisher
Comments: Podling is doing well. There is an ecosystem around Dubbo
where IP issues are murky. PPMC is appropriately evaluating
the status of related "Dubbo" projects. The correct questions
are being asked.

Comments: Generally, the podling is doing well. The community is still
getting used to using mailing lists but I have no concerns at
at this stage of the podling's development
I do remain concerned at the volume of github notifications
and the difficulty in following them. I plan to chat with the
infrastructure folks at ApacheCon NA to see if there are any
changes that could be made on the infrastructure side to help
in this area.

Comments: Good work on the first release.
dev@ list traffic is a lot easier to follow
now notifications have moved to a separate
list
I'm still struggling with the volume of
notifications. It is getting easier as I
become more familiar with the project but I do
worry that newcomers to the project will find
it difficult to follow.

Comments: Activity levels remain very high. I am struggling to follow day
to day activity. notifications@ has helped a little. The particular
challenges for me are:
- no threading of github issue / pr mail makes it hard to follow
individual issues
- users having different ASF and GitHub user names makes to hard to
follow who is a committer and who is not
