A large-scale and easy-to-use graph database
HugeGraph has been incubating since 2022-01-23.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Release distributed storage module (include PD/store) & make graph
computer easy to use
2. Overall easier to use, more stable and reliable & more communication
with other Graph Community(Like Tinkerpop/JanusGraph etc)
3. At least 2 new PPMC & 5 committers selected and take deep part in the
community
### 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 take part in 2 activities to let more students know the project &
the open source culture (working in the next Q3)
2. We take part in GOTC(Global Open-source Technology Conference) & share
our roadmap of next version (about distributed raft-based storage)
3. 10+ new contributors with 60+ PR (although most of the PR is tiny or
doc improvement, it helped a lot for normal users)
### How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Finish i18n translation task in all pages & enhance/update a string of
docs
2. Add more user friendly improvement case & update the experience of
docker usage
3. Support multi tasks scheduled by server & fix some bugs in
Spark-Loading mode in toolchain

## Training
The Training project aims to develop resources which can be used for
training purposes in various media formats, languages and for various
Apache and non-Apache target projects.
Training has been incubating since 2019-02-21.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
Improve the community participation (other Apache projects should
actively be linked to this project, since they "have the content")
(Re)define the short-, mid-, and long-term goals of the project.
Select an approach to handle non coding / non document related tasks
(e.g., community related activities on events)
Create a strategy how this projects contributes to or is supported by
other Apache projects
Create a tutorial on how the tools provided by this project can be used
to create own content
Review current policies around contribution review and releases to find a
pragmatic compromise
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
The Training Project needs more contribution from other Apache projects.
It also needs feedback from other Apache projects on the presentations
and trainings developed till now.
In order to improve this collaboration we suggest to investigate the
status of other project’s documentation in a systematic approach,
especially with an eye on available training related material.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Activity has remained low since the last report.
We have to work on strategies to increase the participation and the
visibility of the project and its goals.
Besides requests for contributions from individual contributors from
other Apache projects we want to show what the Apache Training project can
offer to those projects.
We should build on the assumption that synergy and network effects can
help us to increase the community around training and skill management
topics.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Some new training material has been provided, for details, please look at
the project repo commit comments.
PR activity continuous on a low level since the last report.
### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
- [ ] Initial setup
- [ ] Working towards first release
- [X] Community building
- [ ] Nearing graduation
- [ ] Other:
There are currently some issues with this podling that we are working to
address, we believe that the issues are not yet critical and can be turned
around from within the community but want to make the board aware of this
early on.
Initial setup of the project’s structure: Goals and strategy needs
refinement.
Working towards first release: What type of artifacts to release is not
clear, due to unclear goals and strategy.
Community building: The community exists of a very small number of people
but is more or less invisible, as of today (April 2023).
Nearing graduation: Currently, we are far away from graduation.
### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
November 2020
### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
Mentors have been responsive and helpful when reached out to.
### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
The name search process has not yet been started, as there is still time
to do that if and when graduation draws nearer.
The PPMC is actively monitoring usage of the Podlings current name on
other sites.
The Podling is not directly affiliating with any sponsors donating
content and presenting an independent image on the webpage.

a mentor of this project as there was literally no activity at all. In the
last few days this has changed a bit, so I'll postpone my resignation for
now.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
This is the first report.
We have completed the SGA signing, now we are discussing the trademark
donation, and are going through the approval process.
The donated 5 repositories have been migrated from hugegraph org to apache
org, 7 committers have completed the github account association, they are
granted codebase write permissions, 5 of them have been initialized as PPMC
members.
We solved a series of ci workflow problems for repositories migration. The
official website is currently under construction.
The next step is to make an official announcement, and prepare for the
release version.
