## Description: The mission of Apache Guacamole is the creation and maintenance of software related to providing performant, browser-based remote access ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing, with moderate activity. Issues for the board: none. ## Membership Data: Apache Guacamole was founded 2017-11-14 (6 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 10 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Luke on 2023-02-22. - No new committers. Last addition was Alexander Leitner on 2023-11-13. ## Project Activity: The project is finalizing its next release (1.5.5) and looks to be roughly a week away from a first RC. To help larger ongoing development tasks move forward, a new branching scheme has been adopted which replaces the single "master" development line with "patch" (trivial changes), "main" (minor changes), and "next" (major, possibly-breaking changes). With this new branching scheme in mind, the initial scopes of future releases 1.6.0 and 2.0.0 have also been laid out. Recent releases: - 1.5.4 was released on 2023-12-07. - 1.5.3 was released on 2023-07-31. - 1.5.2 was released on 2023-05-25. ## Community Health: The community continues to be active and healthy. There has been an uptick in both the number of contributors (+20%) and user mailing list activity (+9%). Those upticks do not appear to correlate with any specific project action beyond continuing to serve the needs of a healthy community.

Last addition was Luke on 2020-02-07. ## Project Activity: The scope for the upcoming 1.4.0 release was finalized on 2021-08-30. Around 20% of the scope for 1.4.0 remains to be completed before the first RC can be cut, with roughly half those remaining issues currently in progress. Recent releases: - 1.3.0 was released on 2021-01-01. - 1.2.0 was released on 2020-06-28. - 1.1.0 was released on 2020-01-29. ## Community Health: The community is active and healthy. The user@ list encountered a disruption in activity when Nabble ceased supporting mailing list synchronization. This disruption resulted in a period of divergence between Nabble and the list, with new mailing list threads not reaching the forums and new forum threads not reaching the mailing list. There have otherwise been no noteworthy changes in the level of activity.

Last addition was Luke on 2020-02-07. ## Project Activity: The scope of the upcoming 1.3.0 release was finalized on 2020-09-20. The release itself did not occur in mid-September as originally expected. Most of the in-scope work has since been completed, and it appears likely that the release will still be ready by year's end. Closing out those remaining issues and preparing a first RC remains the primary focus of the project. Recent releases: - 1.2.0 was released on 2020-06-28. - 1.1.0 was released on 2020-01-29. - 1.0.0 was released on 2019-01-08. ## Community Health: The community is active and healthy. There is a minor lull in overall activity, presumably due to the usual seasonal demands on individuals' time. Users and contributors otherwise continue to be engaged and responsive on the mailing lists and within pull requests.

Last addition was Luke on 2020-02-07. ## Project Activity: Project development is focused on finalizing the 1.2.0 release. The 1.2.0 release is planned to include several major improvements, like support for SAML and Wake-on-LAN, and addresses a number of regressions resulting from the migration to FreeRDP 2.0.0. Recent releases: - 1.1.0 was released on 2020-01-29. - 1.0.0 was released on 2019-01-08. - 0.9.14 was released on 2018-01-18. ## Community Health: The community is active and healthy. Project website traffic more than doubled at the end of March due to COVID-19 and the widespread need to work from home. The increased traffic has subsided somewhat since then, but is still at least 50% more than normal. Activity on the user@ mailing list is also substantially higher.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Carl Harris on 2017-11-19. - Luke was added as committer on 2020-02-07 - Sean Reid was added as committer on 2020-02-07 ## Project Activity: With 1.1.0 having been released, focus has shifted to the next release (1.2.0) and to producing more frequent releases in general. Scope of the 1.2.0 release has been settled, though flexibility in scope is being allowed for regressions related to the two major migrations that were part of 1.1.0 (FreeRDP 2.0.0 and the Apache Directory API). Recent releases: - 1.1.0 was released on 2020-01-29. - 1.0.0 was released on 2019-01-08. - 0.9.14 was released on 2018-01-18. ## Community Health: The community is active and healthy. The decrease in community activity noted last quarter has vanished, with all metrics now showing major increases.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 4:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Carl Harris on 2017-11-19. - No new committers. Last addition was Joel Best on 2019-01-30. ## Project Activity: Contributions from the community covering improvements to LDAP integration, RDP keymap support, and the SSH/telnet terminal emulator have been merged. Contributions covering REST API documentation and improvements to CAS support are now under review. Core RDP support finally builds against the 2.0.0 version of the FreeRDP library. Support for non-core RDP channels remains to be ported to the new library. ## Community Health: The community is active and healthy, however there has been a decrease in activity relative to last quarter across most metrics. The reason for the decrease is unclear.

Last addition was Joel Best on 2019-01-30. ## Project Activity: Project activity is centered around finalizing the outstanding tasks blocking release of 1.1.0. The main obstacle to releasing 1.1.0 is still GUACAMOLE-249, as noted in last quarter's report. Significant progress has been made outside of that issue, as most other issues within 1.1.0 scope have been resolved over the course of the last quarter. ## Community Health: The community continues to be involved and healthy. Overall commit activity has increased, reflecting the accelerating effort to release 1.1.0. The number of code contributors and pull requests opened/closed has also almost doubled relative to last quarter.
## Description:
- Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway which supports
standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. We call it "clientless" because
no plugins or client software are required. Once Guacamole is installed on
a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- Progress toward 1.1.0 continues. Development toward release slowed down at
the end of last quarter but has recently picked back up.
- GUACAMOLE-249 (adding support for the 2.0.0 RCs of FreeRDP's library)
remains both a priority of 1.1.0 and a major obstacle.

2. Call IPMC graduation vote
3.
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 community has discussed, voted upon, and approved a resolution to
graduate to TLP. This resolution is now being discussed on the general@
list, prior to calling the IPMC graduation vote.

How has the project developed since the last report?
The project has fallen into a nice rhythm with respect to releases and has
gone through two additional releases since last report: 0.9.11-incubating
and 0.9.12-incubating.
The project website has been updated with documentation covering release
procedures, the acceptance of new committers, and handling of code review
via pull requests. Links to relevant ASF resources for PPMC members and
committers have also been added.
The development community continues to be engaged on the mailing lists, and
a new committer, Nick Couchman, has been brought onto the project as of
2017-02-09.
Recent discussion on the mailing lists regarding graduation readiness has
been positive. The podling status page for Guacamole has been brought
up to date, and the suitable name search issue has been created:

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Identifying contributors with merit warranting committership
2. Engaging mentors to assess podling status and provide guidance
3. Ensuring mentors are subscribed to the lists and are generally aware of
podling status/activities
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Not at present.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Frequency and complexity of contributions seem to be increasing. Community
presence and activity on the mailing lists has also increased due to the
use of Nabble to provide a forum-like interface.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The project has succeeded in producing its first release under the
Incubator, 0.9.10-incubating, and the process is already underway for
producing the next, with the IPMC vote for release having been started on
2017-01-26.
With the first release out of the way, development is finally moving
smoothly again. We have adopted a branching workflow which allows
development to continue unhindered, with only the release scope being
frozen.
Date of last release:
2016-12-29 (0.9.10-incubating)
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
The most recent committer, Frode Langelo, was accepted into the
project by VOTE on 2016-04-03, with the required ICLA received on

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Greg Trasuk:
Watching the dev list, I've seen good discussions of features and
engagement of users and potential developers. Community seems to be
operating well and making decisions on-list.
Guacamole is an enterprise-grade, protocol-agnostic, remote desktop gateway. Combined with cloud hosting, Guacamole provides an excellent alternative to traditional desktops. Guacamole aims to make cloud-hosted desktop access preferable to traditional, local access. Guacamole has been incubating since 2016-02-10. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. **Making the first Guacamole release under the Apache Incubator** 2. Encouraging community participation and contribution 3. Accepting additional committers Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? It is clear that the continuing lack of a release is a major obstacle to community development, especially given outstanding pull requests which cannot be merged due to pre-release code freeze. We believe that the source and documentation are finally up-to-date with respect to Apache and the Incubator, and that we are ready to move forward with the procedures surrounding the release. Any assistance in navigating our first release would be greatly appreciated. How has the community developed since the last report? Community participation has remained roughly the same as last report. Mailing list participation is active but unchanged. Since last report, we have received an additional 3 pull requests, and have engaged the contributors for code review. Code looks good, and response to feedback has been professional, but merge is blocked until we can get the first release out of the way. How has the project developed since the last report? All outstanding issues which were aimed at the project's first release (0.9.10-incubating) have been completed, as have all bugs discovered during testing. We have made preparatory changes to the project website with the release in mind. The project's old SourceForge forums have finally been closed, replaced by the mailing lists. The forums have been left in read-only mode for the sake of reference, with a stickied announcement notifying users of the move. Date of last release: 2015-12-18 (0.9.9, prior to Apache Incubator) When were the last committers or PMC members elected? The most recent committer, Frode Langelo, was accepted into the project by VOTE on 2016-04-03, with the required ICLA received on 2016-04-05.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Making the first Guacamole release under the Apache Incubator 2. Encouraging community participation and contribution 3. Accepting additional committers 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? Activity on the mailing lists has increased now that the new project website is up. At the time of the last report, the @user list was unused. Since then, the number of emails has increased each month, with 52 in May, 95 in June, and 123 in July. Users do still occasionally post to the old SourceForge forums, but are then gently redirected to the mailing lists. Excluding project committers, the community has opened 5 pull requests, 2 of which have been merged. How has the project developed since the last report? The project has finished migrating to Apache infrastructure, including the project website. There is one major outstanding task, screen sharing, which has been blocking the release but is finally nearing completion. Since last report, the project has had roughly 250 commits, about 60% of which were directly related to the outstanding task mentioned above. Date of last release: 2015-12-18 (0.9.9, prior to Apache Incubator) When were the last committers or PMC members elected? The most recent committer, Frode Langelo, was accepted into the project by VOTE on 2016-04-03, with the required ICLA received on 2016-04-05.

Guacamole is an enterprise-grade, protocol-agnostic, remote desktop gateway. Combined with cloud hosting, Guacamole provides an excellent alternative to traditional desktops. Guacamole aims to make cloud-hosted desktop access preferable to traditional, local access. Guacamole has been incubating since 2016-02-10. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Finalizing the move to Apache infrastructure 2. Making the first Guacamole release under the Apache Incubator 3. Accepting additional committers Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? The PPMC has had difficulty fully engaging mentors to finish the migration of Apache Guacamole to Apache infrastructure and processes. Though the project has successfully moved to Apache-hosted git repositories, the processes for importing our existing JIRA issues and adding our first non-founding committer (Frode Langelo) were stagnated until very recently. How has the community developed since the last report? While our community of users continues to grow, this is mainly the established pattern of growth that existed prior to acceptance in the Apache Incubator. We are expecting this to change once the Apache Guacamole website is up, public announcement of the move to the Incubator is made, and users of the old SourceForge forums are directed to the mailing lists. How has the project developed since the last report? The project has accepted its first committer outside the original founding developers, Frode Langelo, and development has moved onto Apache-hosted git repositories. Development of new Apache Guacamole website is nearing completion. Date of last release: 2015-12-18 (0.9.9, prior to Apache Incubator) When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

For the Jira, the difficulty was that the project wanted to import existing Jira content. Not sure it's a good idea as bunch of users don't exist in the Apache Jira and there's lot of "noise". I would recommend to start by creating the highest priority tasks and issues in the Apache Jira.
