This is not surprising since it was agreed not to compete with the Incubator. We remain ready for another experiment.

We have started discussions on discuss@petri.a.o about how we can do better with the next cultures and what lessons we have learned from BuildStream.

The significant change for that project was a license change from GPL to the ALv2 along with moving from a GNU project to an ASF project. We still have some website updates to make regarding BuildStream. ## Community Health: We remain open for further cultures. We will likely be sending a note to members@a.o to inform the membership that Petri may be a fit for helping convert existing communities they are part of into ASF projects.
## Description: The mission of Apache Petri is the creation and maintenance of software related to assessment of, education in, and adoption of the Foundation's policies and procedures for collaborative development and the pros and cons of joining the Foundation ## Issues: In the next month or two we plan to recommend a Direct to TLP Resolution for the BuildStream community.

We have our one initial culture - Buildstream. As it becomes a new TLP we should discuss how to promote Petri as an alternative to the Incubator for certain types of existing communities.

Last addition was Justin Erenkrantz on 2020-04-23. ## Project Activity: This quarter we made significant improvements to the Petri website. Of interest is a new status file - https://petri.apache.org/info.yaml which has project data and culture status. BuildStream is making slow and steady progress on their path along The Apache Way. They are currently in the process of connecting with copyright holders to change to the Apache License v2. Since the BuildStream website is yet to be moved, https://buildstream.apache.org is mapped to the BuildStream status page https://petri.apache.org/buildstream We've added support for OGL metadata to the website. Future posts to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn about Apache Petri will look good. ## Community Health: The significant work on the website was prompted by two factors. (1) Some questions from Sebb about improving our discussion of The Apache Way. (2) PRs and Issues from a John Bampton whose contributions include pointers to a number of tools. For some of his contributions see the tool links on https://github.com/apache/petri-site/blob/master/DEVELOPER.md

Last addition was Justin Erenkrantz on 2020-04-23. ## Project Activity: The BuildStream culture continues its migration with moving their GitLab repository over to Apache GitBox/GitHub with Infrastructure's fine assistance. The community continues to discuss their development efforts well on their dev@buildstrem.apache.org mailing list. ## Community Health: discuss@petri.apache.org had a big increase in traffic in the past quarter (26 emails compared to 0) Petri has a low level of activity. We have the attitude that the next culture we foster will come to us on their own. That may change in the next quarter. The plan to grow Petri PMC membership is to consider the Mentors from cultures once they have become TLPs. Culture mentors are Petri committers.
