Fury has been incubating since 2023-12-15.

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

 1. Grow the community(attracting more committers, contributors, and users)
 2. Publish Apache releases
 3. Improve project documentation and align the implementation of
    Java/Python/JavaScript/C++/Golang/Rust.

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

 None

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

  1. We started the community vote of the first release.
  2. We received 7 new issues and closed 6 issues.
  3. Community development wasn't grown too much in last month. The main
  reason is probably due to core committers were engaged in the first release
  and the standardization of fury serialization protocol. But there were some
  new developers continuing contributing to fury in recent months.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
  1. Created 28 PR in last month
  2. Standardized the fury cross-language serialization protocol, which
  will make the project develop

    Comments: Good to see all necessary infra are set for the project and

    Comments: LGTM, Probably points 1 and 2 are not strictly needed for
    graduation (they look more nice-to-have)

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

 jmclean: Points 1 and 2 don't have anything to do with graduation. Try not
 to focus on functionality in the next report.
