### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.
TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1.Complete the project rename task
2.Improve and optimize the system to solve system Short board
3.Promote the system, to let more people to use and participate in the
community
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
One,
Our rename implementation Jira[1] still has no clear completion time. Since
the new name passed and mentor JB submitted the rename Jira[1] on March 11,
after the priority of the jira was adjusted from Major to Minor on March
13, the mentors has pinged several times, but still no more movement.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
We have recently deployed the community TubeMQ 0.8.0 version in our
environment, from the comparison of before and after the gray-scale, the
performance of the version is at least 5% higher than before, especially
the metric of the number of disks written has dropped significantly, and
the problems found have been reported back to the community for repair.
At the same time, we have conducted three times offline technical exchanges
with the technical teams of other different companies (the relevant
communication documents have been placed on the external website for other
business review and analysis). Through the comparison of the environmental
issues of different companies in the big data scenario, TubeMQ has
relatively good cost advantages and technical characteristics. We will
continue to choose to cooperate with companies with similar scenario
requirements to let more people, company, who need this ability uses this
component, and participates in the operation of the community.
In addition to using email to synchronize information, we created an
"inlong" channel in ASF on Slack to meet and solve the needs of users for
timely communication.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
When we were preparing for the release of TubeMQ 0.8.0 without the "-WIP"
tag, we discovered that the BDB component that the project metadata
management module relies on has a license authorization problem, we are
refactoring this part to meet Apache's license requirements.
At the same time, our project has submitted an application for name change
and has been approved by Apache. We are currently preparing for the content
of the project after the name change, including the project homepage, Logo,
modules to be open sourced, documentation, etc, and some of the content has
been completed and is waiting to be applied online after the name change is
completed; the name change implementation Jira [1] has been submitted by
Mentor JB on March 11, and is still in pending status without clear
implementation completion time.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.
TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1.Adjust project goal && project name
2.Keep growing the community, attract more contributors and committers
3.Release Apache standard releases regularly
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
We hope more IPMCs will pay attention to our project and give more
suggestions.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Since the last report, the TubeMQ community has continued to improve its
functions
as well as external publicity and communication; at the same time, we
PPMCs conducted
a discussion on adjusting project objectives and project names.
We hope to provide a complete one-stop streaming data service platform:
the system
integrates a series of components in the form of plug-ins for collection,
aggregation,
storage and forwarding to build a complete data reporting service; based
on this platform,
users only need to publish and subscribe to data, and they can easily
build analysis and
applications based on streaming data; and TubeMQ will continue to develop
in this project.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
At this stage, we released the SDK of the Python language and the
tubemq-manager module for
cluster management. The tubemq-manager module is used for cross-cluster
control to make
the project more usable; we have also made a number of improvements in
the function of the project,
for details information, please refer to our project issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/TUBEMQ/issues.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
Since the last report, the TubeMQ community has attracted many real users
who have given feedback to the project many bugs,
and enthusiastic contributors have made multilingual SDK contributions to
the project and successfully applied them in the actual environment;
the community periodically releases iteratively to provide stable and
easy-to-use new features.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
This stage is mainly for the development and implementation of
multi-language SDKs: the C/C++ SDK delivery has been completed;
at the same time, SDKs for Go, Python, Rust and other languages are under
development. In addition to the new features of the multi-language SDKs,
the project initiated the development of the tubemq-manager module for
cross-cluster control to make the project more usable;
for details, please refer to our project issues:

### 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?
At this stage, no community activities were initiated, but we internally
initiated
a vote for the project committer and selected the first committer of the
project.
I believe this will promote the subsequent development of the project
community.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project is nearing completion of the migration to the Apache
incubator:
at this stage, we have completed the change of the project's package
name, the standardization of file's LICENSE, and the launch of the project
home page but the documentation and project home page content relatively
lacking, this part needs to be improved in the next stage.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.
TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Bootstrap the Apache project and migrate repos to Apache.
2. Grow the community to involve more contributors and increase the
diversity.
3. Polish the code and document to satisfy the Apache way.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Needs mentors and IPMCs to help to bootstrap the project and follow the
Apache way to grow the community.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Currently the project is still on migrating, because of the migrating
gap, there's 60+ GH issues and 80+ GH PRs submitted,
and over 25 contributors on this project, but this was not happened in
Apache JIRA/repo, we will migrate them soon.
Also We hosted 3 meetups to promote this project.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Towards migrating to Apache incubator, like building home pages, launch
first Apache release.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Junping Du: The project get bootstrap a bit late due to misunderstanding
on Champion role of the project. The email list and JIRA are setup just
recently, so contributors and committers are still learning how to
communicate through JIRA and dev alias - it takes time but things are
getting better.
Justin Mclean: Your mentors can't help if you don't communicate on the
dev list. Your number one aim should be to move communication on list and
work with your mentors in the open to complete the bootstrap process. This
is the PPMC responsibility not just the mentors or the IPMC as mentioned in
the issues. Several mentors and IPMC requests have gone unanswered, please
make sure these are responded to.
Dave Fisher: It is important that PPMC Members drive the move with the
help of active Mentors. I feel that Junping is in a dual role but is less
experienced. Justin and JBO are the experienced mentors that will need to
step in with the guidance. Two months in including the year end holidays
the podling is actually doing OK.
