Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

Meeting times vary, the exact schedule is available to ASF Members and Officers, search for "calendar" in the Foundation's private index page (svn:foundation/private-index.html).

Pekko

18 Dec 2024 [PJ Fanning / Rich]

Report was filed, but display is awaiting the approval of the Board minutes.

18 Sep 2024 [PJ Fanning / Shane]

## Description:

The mission of Apache Pekko is the creation and maintenance of software related
to a toolkit and an ecosystem for building highly concurrent, distributed,
reactive and resilient applications for Java and Scala

## Project Status:

Are you able to provide adequate oversight of your project? That is,
are there at least three PMC members who are engaged enough to
respond in the event of a CVE or similar crisis?
Yes. The number of active contributors is small but I believe that we
should be able to respond to security issues.
We have no CVEs but we did fix some security issues prior to our first
release in 2023.

## Are there current or upcoming risks that threaten the sustainability
of your project? This could be anything from a change in employment
of prolific contributors, to an acquisition affecting a significant
corporate contributor, to a change in the technology landscape that
makes your project less (or more) relevant.

No known issues in this area.

## What can the Foundation do to more effectively make your project more
successful in its mission of providing software for the public good?

Nothing major.

We do have one issue where one of our PMC members has had their access
removed. They seem to have been a genuine victim of a phishing attack.
I have received similar emails purporting to be from the ASF and
requesting me to change my password (but I am experienced with
phishing attacks and deleted the emails that I received). There are
details in the linked thread [1]. I have received no response from the
Apache Secretary or from the Infra team about whether they will
consider re-enabling the account or what process that we would need to
follow if we wanted to re-invite Li Guobin to join the PMC.

There is evidence from Apache Nexus and elsewhere of good uptake of the
v1.0.x releases.

17 Apr 2024 [PJ Fanning / Willem]

## Description:
Apache Pekko is a toolkit and an ecosystem for building highly concurrent,
distributed, reactive and resilient applications for Java and Scala.

## Project Status:
Current project status: New
Issues for the board: None to report

## Membership Data:
Apache Pekko was founded 2024-03-20 (19 days ago)
There are currently 27 committers and 19 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members (project graduated recently). Last PPMC member
added was Arnout Engelen on 2024-02-01
- No new committers were added. Last podling committer added was
JingZhang Chen on 2024-02-05

## Project Activity:
Apache Pekko had 21 releases across 12 separate modules while incubating.
We are planning v1.1 releases for most of these modules, to be released
over the next few months.

## Community Health:
Use of the dev and users mailing lists is pretty light but has increased.
Some important discussions appear on the dev list. Most interactions happen
in GitHub Discussions, Issues and PRs.
Non-committers seem to prefer GitHub comms.

According to the commit mailing list, the number of commits has
increased 152% which is a good sign for community growth.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Continue v1.0.0 releases. The main modules have v1.0.0 releases but
 some modules are not yet released.
 2. Community Building.
 3. Plan future priorities.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 Nothing of note.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 Community engagement is pretty low. We're still hoping to increase it now
 that main modules have releases.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 Main modules have seen releases.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
 Please feel free to add your own commentary.

 - [ ] Initial setup
 - [ ] Working towards first release

### Date of last release:

 2023-09-05

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

 2023-03-09 (new committer) -- no new PPMC members added - a recent
 committer invite was rejected by the person we invited

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
 Mentors have been supportive. One issue is that we need some help with
 Incubator release votes. We have one open for 2 weeks and haven't yet
 received 3 votes.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

 VP, Brand has approved the name (https://s.apache.org/h2cwg)

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

 The Podling Project is keep moving, and the project active contributor is
 around 15 for a year.

19 Jul 2023

Pekko is a toolkit and an ecosystem for building highly concurrent,
distributed, reactive and resilient applications for Java and Scala.

Pekko has been incubating since 2022-10-24.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
 1. Complete the work to mention all 3rd party source in the Pekko code
 base.
 2. Get a milestone release done - at least for the core modules. This
 would facilitate the wider OSS community. We would hope that other OSS
 projects that currently support Akka would look to also support Apache
 Pekko.
 3. Community Building.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
 Nothing of note

### How has the community developed since the last report?
 Community engagement is pretty low. We're hoping it will pick up if we
 get a release out.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
 We're close to getting a release done for the core modules.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
 Please feel free to add your own commentary.

    Comments:  Community is beginning to coalesce.  The main issues facing
    the development of the community is the ability to progress with
    development, we have a number of people asking what they can do, but many
    actions blocked by lack of consensus around specific topics.  Now that the
    outstanding legal questions have been answered I think the project will
    begin to progress more rapidly.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

--------------------
## SeaTunnel
SeaTunnel is a very easy-to-use ultra-high-performance distributed data

 We participated in the meetup held by ALC India and gained some new
 contributors and users.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
 We released SeaTunnel Zeta, which is the result of six months of hard work
 by the community and an engine specially developed for data
 synchronization.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
 Please feel free to add your own commentary.
