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.
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).
Seata(Simple Extensible Autonomous Transaction Architecture)is an easy-to-
use and high-performance distributed transaction solution, used to solve the
data consistency problem.
Seata has been incubating since 2023-10-29.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Build the ASF first release. At present, we have completed API
compatibility and data compatibility with the original non-Apache package.
2. The community grows to attract more users and elect more committers
and PPMC members.
3. More discussions in @dev.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No issues at the moment.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
This is the first report. The data below is in comparison to when we
initially entered the Apache Incubator.
- 44 new contributors have joined the community (497 contributors in
total)
- 3 new committers were elected, and no PPMC was elected.
- Hosted 4 offline meetups, 10 online bi-weekly meetings, and several
online technical architecture review sessions.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
This is the first report. The data below is in comparison to when we
initially entered the Apache Incubator.
- The main Seata project has completed API and data compatibility with
the original non-Apache package, removed all incompatible licenses, and
merged 140 PRs. Regression testing is currently in progress in preparation
for the release of the first ASF version.
- Implemented transaction support for Apache RocketMQ; replaced the
original ggEditor framework with the diagram-js framework, completing the
new version of the online Saga state machine designer; supports Saga mode
Java non-Spring transaction API; supports Raft metadata synchronization;
the seata-k8s project has supported for the Seata-Server Raft cluster mode;
MockServer, and other features.
- The Seata official website has been redesigned to meet the needs of
multi-version documentation, blogs, download pages, and more. In addition,
compliant governance of the website has been carried out following the
guidelines for Podlings.
- The community has implemented large-scale third-party dependency
security management. Since entering the incubator, Seata has eliminated
271 dependency vulnerabilities.
- The community has refactored over 30 examples in the samples project,
making the code structure more concise and clear, and better achieving the
unification of dependency management and business scenarios.

Otherwise the podling is on the correct path.
