## Description: The mission of Apache Geode is the creation and maintenance of software related to a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing low activity, at-risk to being dormant Issues for the board: None ## Membership Data: Apache Geode was founded 2016-11-15 (7 years ago) There are currently 118 committers and 31 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 4:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Calvin Kirs on 2022-11-14. - No new committers. Last addition was Calvin Kirs on 2022-11-15. ## Project Activity: Little overall project activity, however, there is some talk of doing a maintenance release for some of the fixes in the main branch. Unfortunately, the test infrastructure needs work still before an official release can be done. ## Community Health: After a call out on the dev list for help with some issues, there were a few responses but not much materialized. There have been a few discussions among community members on what it will take to take to get test running on Apache Infra, so it is encouraging

While the total membership of the PMC is 31, there are less than 10 active members. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Calvin Kirs on 2022-11-14. - No new committers. Last addition was Calvin Kirs on 2022-11-15. ## Project Activity: There has been some recent activity on GitHub, with 6 PRs opened on GitHub and closing two PRs, however, no releases are scheduled at this time. ## Community Health: Apache Geode turns 7 years old this month. It has now been a full year since a majority of the PMC and community left the project. The health of the community has largely stayed the same with low activity and not a lot of participation.
## Description: The mission of Apache Geode is the creation and maintenance of software related to a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures. ## Issues: For the work of moving CI to GitHub Actions, we are waiting on larger VMs from Infra for some of the testing pipelines. No ETA has been provided. ## Membership Data: Apache Geode was founded 2016-11-15 (6 years ago) There are currently 118 committers and 31 PMC members in this project. While the total membership of the PMC is 31, there are less than 10 active members. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 4:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Calvin Kirs on 2022-11-14. - No new committers. Last addition was Calvin Kirs on 2022-11-15. ## Project Activity: 1.15.1 was released on 2022-10-10. Very little activity on mailing lists and source commits the past few months. We are still working on migrating the Continuous Integration system over to GitHub actions. ## Community Health: The pulse is low. with only two new contributors. However, after the sudden departure of a majority of PMC members, rebuilding the community has become extremely challenging. We need to find some ways to re-engage contributors who are more familiar with the project.
@Willem: follow up around contributors

Very little activity on mailing lists and source commits the past few months. We are still working on migrating the Continuous Integration system over to GitHub actions. ## Community Health: The pulse is low. Besides the volunteers who have joined the PMC, we have not had any growth with contributors to the project. Currently we have two individuals working small amounts, so need to find ways to get the word out for more individuals to join the community. This was also an issue when the majority of contributors were from the same company.
## Description: The mission of Apache Geode is the creation and maintenance of software related to a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures. ## Issues: No immediate issues. The PMC now has enough members to keep the project going and out of the attic. ## Membership Data: Apache Geode was founded 2016-11-15 (6 years ago) There are currently 118 committers and 31 PMC members in this project. Many of the committers and PMC members have left the project and the project is still working on total active participation. Community changes, past quarter: - Calvin Kirs was added to the PMC on 2022-11-14 - Roger Lee Whitcomb was added to the PMC on 2022-11-13 - Calvin Kirs was added as committer on 2022-11-15 - Roger Lee Whitcomb was added as committer on 2022-11-14 ## Project Activity: 1.15.1 was released on 2022-10-10. No releases planned at this time. ## Community Health: With the exit of the two corporate sponsors back in November, the community is beginning the rebuilding process. There has been good response from the Apache Membership to join the project and help through the transition. The community is currently focused on transitioning continuous integration tooling from a previously sponsored Concourse CI to GitHub Actions. This migration will also help remove dependencies on sponsored infrastructure in the future as well. Here are some community metrics for the last quarter, overall development has slowed a lot however is expected with the loss of the corporate sponsors, however, wanted to show the decrease. dev@geode.apache.org had a 5% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (198 emails compared to 208) user@geode.apache.org had a 36% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (11 emails compared to 17) 9 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-64% change) 4 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-88% change) 104 commits in the past quarter (73% increase) 2 code contributors in the past quarter (-85% change) 13 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-71% change) The majority of the commits come from the CI migration effort.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Dan Smith (upthewaterspout) to the office of Vice President, Apache Geode, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Dan Smith from the office of Vice President, Apache Geode, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache Geode project has chosen by vote to recommend Mark Bretl (mbretl) as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Dan Smith is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Geode, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Mark Bretl be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Geode, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed. Special Order 7C, Change the Apache Geode Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.
## Description: The mission of Apache Geode is the creation and maintenance of software related to a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures. ## Issues: The Geode project has seen some significant change this quarter. The two organizations sponsoring contributors to Geode have disengaged from the community. The PMC tried to recruit additional contributors from the user and dev lists, but failing that decided to vote to move to the attic and notified the board. Fortunately, notifying the board mailing list attracted additional attention and new contributors. We no longer want to move the project to the attic and have withdrawn the resolution. The project is in the process of getting the new contributors on the PMC. It will be a period of time for these new contributors to get to know the project. Almost all of the previously active committers and PMC members have left or stopped contributing. ## Membership Data: Apache Geode was founded 2016-11-15 (6 years ago) There are currently 116 committers and 35 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:3. Most of the committers and PMC members are inactive. At the moment the PMC membership is: - 5 existing PMC members who will continue on the PMC - 5 PMC members who will support the project in the short term - 2 ASF members who have volunteered to help on the PMC We have emailed directly the remaining PMC members who haven’t responded to the roll call. We are in the process of choosing a new PMC chair to replace our outgoing chair. Community changes, past quarter: - Two new PMC members were added but subsequently resigned this quarter: Mario Kevo and Mario Ivanac - Jakov Varenina was added as committer on 2022-10-10 - 19 PMC members in total have resigned since last quarter ## Project Activity: 1.15.1 was released on 2022-10-10. There have been no commits since October 10th. ## Community Health: The exit of the two corporate sponsors has caused an almost complete change over of the active PMC members and committers. The project came close to moving to the attic, but it is encouraging to see so many people step forward after the attic vote to help out.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Donal Evans on 2021-03-22. - No new committers. Last addition was Alberto Bustamante on 2021-05-13. ## Project Activity: Apache Geode completed the release process for 1.15.0. This release fixed 887 JIRA issues and notably adds support for JDK 17 as well as connection re-authentication. ## Community Health: After the 1.15.0 release was complete, we decided to remove the CODEOWNERS review requirement as the implementation imposed an onerous burden and significantly slowed down PR review and merging. We have seen a significant decline in PR and JIRA activity in July compared to prior months/years.

## Description: Apache Geode provides a database-like consistency model, reliable transaction processing and a shared-nothing architecture to maintain very low latency performance with high concurrency processing. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: - We held up releasing v1.7.0 in favor of fixing more bugs and making our tests more reliable. We closed out 40% of the open test bugs (out of 220) and removed the ‘FlakyTest’ category from 136 tests. - We integrated our pre-commit tests directly into GitHub PR checks. This makes it super easy for committers and contributors to run and review test results. - We’ve optimized test runtimes for pull requests to get results in less than an hour. If someone were to run the same tests on a laptop it would take over 18h. - We upgraded the project build tools to Gradle 4.9 in preparation for supporting Java 11. - We merged a contribution to add thread monitoring and take action if a thread appears to hang. - We discussed improvements to handling of the default SSL context. - We discussed improvements to allow customizable trust boundaries for securing OQL method invocations. - The Geode PMC discussed and approved a Geode session track at the SpringOnePlatform conference (see https://springoneplatform.io/2018/geode). - Community member Addison Huddy posted a series of seven (and counting) youtube videos on “Geode by Example”. ## Health report: - We’ve had a number of excellent contributions from new community members in the last three months. Although the PMC did not add any committers this quarter we should definitely review and discuss adding new committers soon. - By increasing test speed, reliability, and ease of access we have lowered the barriers for new contributions and community participation. ## PMC changes: - Currently 46 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Dick Cavender on Tue Feb 20 2018 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 87 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Michael W.

transaction processing and a shared-nothing architecture to maintain
very low latency performance with high concurrency.
## Issues:
- No issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- Graduated from the incubator November 21, 2016!
- Released our first non-milestone release, 1.0.0-incubating.
- Transitioned project resources from incubator to TLP namespace.
- Started discussions about our first release as a TLP.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Konstantin Boudnik (cos):
For the next report: for me as a mentor (and perhaps for others on IPMC)
it is not very insightful to see the number of pull requests or JIRAs
opened. It isn't what "project development" constitutes in my mind. I
would like to see more info about how project is getting into Apache Way,
what important discussions are held, what decisions are made through
community consensus, etc.

we solicited IPMC feedback. There was a great discussion thread and we're
now taking care of actionable feedback with an ETA within a week or so.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Mailing list activity in June: 208 emails on dev, 28 emails on user. Dev

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
John D. Ament:
The JGroups licensing issue caught me off guard. Based on what I read
about it, it's purely a technical issue and not licensing related
(though triggered by licensing). Based on the documentation heavy
approach I'm concerned that this could be an issue for potential
contributors (needing to create designs up front for issues). Code
changes seem to be going slow, but the fact that they already have a
great website and nice logo is a good sign for the podling.
Geode is a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access
to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud
architectures.
Geode has been incubating since 2015-04-27.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Expanding the community to include contributors and committers
outside of Pivotal
2. Execute and manage the project according to governance model
required by the "Apache Way"
3. Have our first Apache (incubating) release (currently blocked
on us solving JGroups licensing issues)
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
None.
How has the community developed since the last report?
The project had around 350 messages and around a 100 different people
joined the discussions on the mailing lists, covering all sorts of
topics, from development model to new features.
ICLAs for initial committers are filled and processed.
The wiki has been kept up to date based on mailing list discussions,
with processes for:
- Code Review and submissions
- Branching and versioning
- Code of Conduct
- Social Media guidelines and accounts
- Twitter account (https://twitter.com/apachegeode)
- Slideshare account (http://www.slideshare.net/ApacheGeode)
- Gravatar/Wordpress (https://en.gravatar.com/apachegeode)
There are 46 open issues on JIRA, 5 resolved.
Several external pull requests. Review process is in place and has
been done using ASF ReviewBoard.

How has the project developed since the last report?
- Initial SGA from Pivotal has been received and processed including the
initial code drop.
- Source code packages will also be renamed from com.gemstone to
org.apache.geode in order to allow an easier path to become a TLP.
- Pivotal is going to deliver the final code drop by end of June
adding important features to the project such as:
- Off Heap support
- HDFS Integration
- Command line utilities
- JVSD - Statistic visualization tool
- The main command line interface will be renamed from GFSH (GemFire
Shell) to GEODE, as per community voting.
- The project decided (mailing lists) to follow the RTC
(Review-Then-Commit) policy initially and re-evaluate after some
iterations.
- Jenkins nightly builds are setup
- DockerHub account with a nightly build
- https://registry.hub.docker.com/repos/apachegeode/
- ASF Infrastructure setup:
- Wiki
- JIRA
- Jenkins
- GitHub integration
Date of last release:
N/A - Just nightly builds.
