## 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.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was JingZhang Chen on 2024-05-29. - Jiafu Tang was added as committer on 2024-06-17 ## Project Activity We've started releasing v1.1.0. Core modules done. ## Community Health See new style Project Status above.
@Rich: Discuss account recovery with PMC and Infra
## 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: Current project status: Ongoing with moderate activity. Issues for the board: Nothing ## Membership Data: Apache Pekko was founded 2024-03-20 (3 months ago) There are currently 27 committers and 20 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - JingZhang Chen was added to the PMC on 2024-05-29 - A new committer, Jiafu Tang, has accepted an invite. - We are still setting up his Apache ID ## Project Activity: We are working through the various Pekko modules to do v1.1.0-M1 releases. 4 are complete. More modules still need v1.1.0-M1 RCs. ## Community Health: Mailing list and GitHub Issues/PRs/Discussions remain reasonably active. There is evidence from Apache Nexus and elsewhere of good uptake of the v1.0.x releases.

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.

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. 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?

Mentors have been supportive. One issue is that we need some help with Incubator release votes.

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?

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 integration platform that supports real-time synchronization of massive data. SeaTunnel has been incubating since 2021-12-09. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: None, we plan to graduate. ### 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? The community ushers in 33 new contributors, bringing the total number to 157 now,300+ pull requests have been merged since SeaTunnel entered the last report. 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?

Yes, always responsive and helpful. They gave a lot of great suggestions on community building. ### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks? No known issues, but further investigation is still required by the SeaTunnel community. ### Signed-off-by: - [X] (seatunnel) Zhenxu Ke Comments: - [X] (seatunnel) William-GuoWei Comments: - [X] (seatunnel) Lidong Dai Comments: - [ ] (seatunnel) Ted Liu Comments: - [ ] (seatunnel) Kevin Ratnasekera Comments: - [ ] (seatunnel) JB Onofré Comments: - [ ] (seatunnel) Willem Ning Jiang Comments: ### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
