### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Open Data Access Layer: Access data freely, painlessly, and efficiently.
OpenDAL has been incubating since 2023-02-27.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Grow the community(attracting more committers, contributors, and users)
2. Publish Apache releases(resolving logistics on Apache releases)
3. Improve project structure and documentation
### 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?
We have added support for Supabase, SFTP, OneDrive, Google Drive, and
Vercel Artifacts (Vercel Remote Caching), providing more choices to our
users.
We have noticed that some new projects have adopted OpenDAL, and there
are also new users for our bindings who have achieved great results.
We have launched a new project called Oay (OpenDAL Gateway). By providing
a native gateway, we empower users to access different storage through the
same API.
We have also participated in open-source community activities. We are
excited to be part of the Open Source Promotion Plan (OSPP) 2023, a summer
program that encourages students to contribute to open-source projects.
We have improved our documentation for new users and developers and set
up a fast development environment to make it easier for them to use and
contribute.
In the past month, we have welcomed 26 new contributors, bringing the
total number to 86.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
- Core: We have added support for several new services and made
improvements to performance and usability.
- Cli: There have been no changes from the last report.
- Bindings: We made some improvements to the existing bindings, adding
new Java and C bindings with basic functions.
- Gateway: We are still developing the MVP.
