## Description: The mission of Apache Superset is the creation and maintenance of software related to data exploration, analysis, visualization, and dashboarding ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing, with high levels of activity, but a less engaged PMC than we'd find ideal. Issues for the board: 1) Community newsletter protocols — We're engaged in a discussion on our private@ list and the trademarks@ list regarding the Apache Superset Community Newesletter. Most of the details are navigable. The biggest open question is whether it's allowable to send such a newsletter to our Slack community membership, when Slack provides no opt-in opportunity in Slack's signup flow. We know of other Projects who share this concern, but would appreciate any advice if this is a "solved problem" for any other Apache projects. With 328 members on our dev@ list, and 14,321 Slack members, we do not want to miss this opportunity to grow engagement by sharing content and announcement. Historically, it's been warmly received, but we want to make sure we do this in an acceptable way. 2) PMC engagement — Many of our PMC have moved away from the project, but remain PMC members since this is effectively a permanent position. We passed a Vote [1] in 202 allowing an annual acticity audit to determine if inactive PMC wish to remain on the committee. We published this on our wiki but never followed through out of nervousness, especially since the Apache Members on our PMC were among those considered inactive. If you have any advice on if/how to reduce our PMC to those who are (or are likely to be) engaged in the project's future, we'd love to hear it. [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/hf4yw8ll1jwfr432wq8tr8cb3vl9c500 3) There's an unanswered question on the legal-discuss@ list we'd like clarity on. We discovered that a package we use in CI runs (Applitools) changed its license from MIT to a seemingly Apache-incompatible license somewhere along the line. If this npm package is a `devDependency` or `optionalDependeny`, is that still a problem since it's not distributed in the project's binary or necessary for the product's functionality? We can remove it if needed but it would be an unfortunate loss. ## Membership Data: Apache Superset was founded 2020-11-17 (3 years ago) There are currently 62 committers and 34 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5. Community changes, past quarter: - Justin Park was added to the PMC on 2024-01-16 - No new committers. Last addition was Rob Moore on 2023-11-29. ## Project Activity: 3.0.4 was released on 2024-02-20. 3.1.1 was released on 2024-02-20. 3.1.0 was released on 2024-01-18. 3.0.3 was released on 2024-01-17. We are actively testing our 4.0 release in hopes that it'll be out soon. A backlog for 5.0 is already beginning to gather. We have a community-approved plan for coordinating guture major release efforts which is published on our wiki, and should lead to a more consistent major release cadence. We're happy to report that we did recently reach 0 open security tickets. We're back to 1 but it already has a fix merged on the repo. We will strive to keep things up to date and closed out as expediently as possible going forward. We've also made great strides in reducing package vulnerabilities for the forthcoming 4.0 release. ## Community Health: The community continues to grow, with 14,321 members on Slack as our driving indicator (up from 12,827 as of the November board meeting). This continues to be the most active platform for our community. We're actively staying on top of PRs, with 796 opened in the last quarter, and 756 closed. We've been making an active effort to get GitHub issues under control, and where 203 issues have been opened in the last quarter, we've closed 1016. We've gone from 1.4K open issues to under 600, and will continue to get the backlog to a closer to sustainability.

## Description: The mission of Apache Superset is the creation and maintenance of software related to data exploration, analysis, visualization, and dashboarding ## Project Status: Current project status: Busy as ever. We're fixing and improving both the product and our process daily. Issues for the board: None for now ## Membership Data: Apache Superset was founded 2020-11-17 (3 years ago) There are currently 60 committers and 33 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Kamil Gabryjelski on 2022-09-08. - No new committers. Last addition was Sam Firke on 2023-07-31. ## Project Activity: 3.0.1 was released on 2023-10-18. 3.0.0 was released on 2023-09-18. 2.1.0 was released on 2023-04-04. We're continuing to improve the process for organizing major releases, and the velocity of patch releases in general, as we navigate toward 3.0.x and 4.0.0. We've done a lot of organization around SIPs (Superset Improvement Proposals) to keep better track, catch up on bookkeeping, and create more community fora to bring ideas to the table and steer toward a more open and comprehensive roadmap. Security reports seem to have slowed down a bit, but things are being better tracked as we get accustomed to the new JIRA workflow and security mailing list. Things seem to be stabilizing overall. ## Community Health: In general, the community is growing at a healthy pace. We continue to see new first-time contributors to the repo, and a huge amount of engagement from folks on Slack, where we're now up to 12,617 members. dev@superset.apache.org had a 106% increase in traffic in the past quarter (130 emails compared to 63) 87 code contributors in the past quarter (12% increase) As always, lots of issues and PRs opened and closed... it's hard to tell whether more of either is a good or a bad thing, but one constant is that it's a challenge for the relatively few deeply-engaged committers to keep up with the growing audience. 912 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-21% change) 873 PRs closed on GitHub,past quarter (-22% change) 657 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (27% increase) 329 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (-35% change) We're also attempting to grow our presense at various conferences, and spread the word about Superset and grow our adoption.
## Description: The mission of Apache Superset is the creation and maintenance of software related to data exploration, analysis, visualization, and dashboarding ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing with high level of activity on the repository and in the community. Issues for the board: Not a *board* issue per se, but a request for referral: We have a question about a release packaging technicality. If there's an ASF person or ASF Slack channel with which we can raise this discussion please let us know by email or on the ASF Slack, and we can take it up there. > cdutz: > 3777 emails on notifications and 1387 commits is quite impressive, however > there are almost no discussions going on on dev@ ... are all discussions > happening in Slack? If yes we really should start discussing options how we > can bring information back to the dev list. For me, as a board member it's > almost impossible to execute oversight like this. Indeed, the bulk of discussion activity takes place on Slack, on GitHub Discussions/Issues/PRs, and to a lesser extent in other discussions that are published/evangelized and scheduled as public events for maximum inclusivity. That said, your point is taken! We'll make a better attempt at relaying any important discussions we encounter to the dev list. We're also open to ideas on improving this - We have over 11K people on Slack, and a list serv is not pragmatic at that scale. We also suspect that the bulk of the dev list members are on Slack, with the possible exception of Apache members. We're not sure how other Apache projects are bridging this gap... maybe this is an interesting topic for Community Over Code. > ningjiang: For the published CVE information, I cannot find them on the > superset website or the release note of the superset besides posting the > message to the superset developer mailing list. We must share the security-fix information with the public more clearly. We've made improvements here. CVEs have been added to the docs site, available here: https://superset.apache.org/docs/security/cves The Security Policy posted on Github was also fleshed out including a link to the above docs page. > curcuru: Thanks for spending the time to write a detailed report. Note the > PMC *must* coordinate with the ASF Security team to follow all appropriate > CVE disclosure processes, as mentioned by ningjiang: > https://www.apache.org/security/committers.html As mentioned above, we've worked to improve disclosure and can continue to follow additional best practices if the board has suggestions. We've also made additional improvements based on Security Team conversations * We've spun up a new security@superset.apache.org email list * There's an email thread open about creating/accessing a private (PMC only) JIRA board to track these issues with improved oversight. Mark and Arnout are on the thread with Daniel Gaspar, who will continue to track & support this migration of security issues that are currently internally / privately tracked by the PMC. ## Membership Data: Apache Superset was founded 2020-11-17 (3 years ago) There are currently 60 committers and 33 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Kamil Gabryjelski on 2022-09-08. - Kasia Zajac was added as committer on 2023-06-14 - Sam Firke was added as committer on 2023-07-31 ## Project Activity: New Releases: 2.1.0 was released on 2023-04-04. 1.5.3 was released on 2023-01-13. 2.0.1 was released on 2022-12-20. Upcoming Releases: 2.1.1 and 3.0.0 are both iterating through release candidates More ideas are forming around improvements to our major release process. We'll continue to bring these to the dev@ list for consensus and document them on the Superset GitHub Wiki. Both the Wiki and the Documentation site are seeing improved levels of engagement and upkeep - we hope the working groups dedicating time to this will continue to ramp up. * wiki growing in content and scope * docs effort is taking shape Members attended the Snowflake Summit, and will be attending the Airflow Summit and Community Over Code Security Update Aside from the aforementioned security process changes, we currently have 4 open CVEs, and 5 in progress (awaiting review). We don't have an exact number of how many have been closed out since our last report at the moment, but we're planning to do more accounting as we move to JIRA. ## Community Health: * Averaging around 130K unique website visitors per month * Up to 11,288 Slack members and growing * Github Repo seeing around 23K unique visitors every two weeks (no idea the quarterly numbers) * dev@superset.apache.org had a 21% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (68 emails compared to 86) * 1909 commits in the past quarter (4% increase) * 78 code contributors in the past quarter (-8% change) * 1073 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-7% change) 1038 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-6% change) * 486 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (-9% change) * 466 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (61% increase) In the near future, we'll be able to gather and report more statistics, thanks to integrations of Crowd.dev, Threado, and Scarf.sh, all of which have graciously provided us with free accounts on their platforms for open-source community use. Shoutout to Chris Lambertus from Apache Infra for helping get Threado and Crowd.dev set up.

In parallel, the PMC's in the private mailing list are working on clarifying / defining a rubric to power recommendations for committer-hood. ## Project Activity: The community generally has 3 parallel development tracks: - 2.0 LTS - 1.5 LTS - Building towards 3.0 We've been seeing lots of healthy discussion and engagement in our Github discussions when we're requesting PR's to be cherried. Here's an example: https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/21263 Recent releases: 1.5.2 was released on 2022-09-27. 2.0.0 was released on 2022-07-14. 1.5.1 was released on 2022-06-07. ## Community Health: We're continuing to maintain strong community health and engagement across all of our community platforms (Github and Slack). At a high level, we're very very close to 50,000 stars on Github and are converging on 9,000 members in the Slack community. Managing the volume of Github issues is still an ongoing challenge but overall still a good sign that people are engaging with the project and voicing their opinions.

Minor: In Q4 2021, minor versions 1.3.0, 1.3.1, and 1.3.2 were released. ## Community Health: Sharp rise in commits can be probably ascribed to the large volume of bug fixes that came in the lead up to v1.4. Superset is definitely stabilizing more and more. In our open Slack community for Superset, weekly active members crossed 1,000 for the first time last quarter! Membership overall grew from ~4800 to ~5500 in Q4. We were excited to see a nice rise in diversity of contributors to the Superset code base, and we hope this continues.

Two Sigma Ventures created an Open Source Index using a unique methodology to rank projects. Superset came through as #29 of most "popular and fast growing" projects out there. [Find more details here](https://twosigmaventures.com/open-source-index/) There was a issue-cleaning bash that was well attended. Goal was to to a bit of a spring cleanup and improve labeling / triage for more sustainable collaboration. We're looking to organize a cosmetic/bug bash in the next few weeks. ## Community Health: Great increased attention on the project bringing many newcomers as reflected per GitHub stars bumps. Committers/contributors meetups seem to be growing to be less important as we increase the collaboration async on GitHub discussions and issues. - 38.4k stars on GitHub, nice bumps from the DataCouncil blog post mentioned above - 1234 commits in the past quarter (-8% change) - 100 code contributors in the past quarter (26% increase) - 846 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (6% increase) - 799 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (1% increase) - 567 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (1% increase) - 501 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (63% increase)

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Updating Status File on
https://incubator.apache.org/projects/superset.html
2. Seek guidance for graduation process from the IPMC
3. Produce a project charter
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
1. To give our PMs and contributors-that-are-not-committers triage access
right
apply labels, assign reviews, close and reopen issues as need. This is being
discussed in the community and has 3 binding vote yes.
2. Is there any way our non-committer can update the status file?
Can we link add a link in the status file and direct it to our
Wiki page, which has the updated content.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
1. [Superset Virtual Meetup](https://s.apache.org/superset-meetup-july)

(He has access to someone's preexisting account. Issue remains open but
work is proceeding on it)
* There was an open question about if/how steps for onboarding
committers might be streamlined and/or automated. Any advice
on that front is welcomed, as the process is seemingly error prone.
Sorry for any confusing missteps as we continue to learn to navigate
this.
* Asked about Bogdan Kyryliuk's process, no answer
* Generally experencing glitches when onboarding committers & PMCs
Other interactions of note:
* We have a new mentor! Welcome to the team, Jim Jagielski!

candidates this far, we ironed out many issues around licensing,
copyright, and the existence of binary files in the repository /
source code releases.
Address remaining project operations issues. See below.
### Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
For project operations, we have made the following progress and need the
following support:
Trademark: No progress has been made here. No one volunteered to get this
done. Some attempts have been made but the documentation and deliverable
are confusing / unclear.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
* Organic growth of our Github contributors (343->368), forks
(4300->4633), watchers (1170->1166) and stars (23,326->24,442)

Github for more details. Some highlights:
### Release-related:
3 RCs were brought up for vote (2 failed, one vote in-progress), issues
were raised and addressed, the release process and release validation
process is becoming more automated through the use of Docker, which
allows for a reproducible reference implementation
Moved example-related data to live outside of the repository and be
downloaded upon running “superset load_examples”
Got rid of an image with an unidentified license
Removed .mo files (translation-related binaries)
### New features / Progress
* feat: Scheduling queries from SQL Lab (#7416) (#7446)
* feat: Live query validation in the SQL Lab UI
* Progress on visualizations as plugins and embeddable components
* propagate color mapping from dashboard to charts
* view presto row objects in data grid
### Bug fixes, code quality and housekeeping

Superset is an enterprise-ready web application for data exploration, data visualization and dashboarding. Superset has been incubating since 2017-05-21. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Plan and execute our first Apache release. Since the last report, we have removed all questionable third party code from the repo, which was a major blocker for the source code release, and are ready to begin the work on the first code release. 2. Address remaining project operations issues. See below. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMS) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? For project operations, we have made the following progress and need the following support: * Held a meeting on December 13 with Mentors, PMC, and Committers to learn more about the Apache way and clarified ways of contributing and collaborating that would uphold the principles. The notes from this meeting were shared on the dev list. * No more unapproved releases. We are working towards our first official release; see above. * Trademark: We continue to have challenges here. Our attempts to complete this task has been unsuccessful and we would appreciate more specific guidance. How has the community developed since the last report? * Organic growth of our Github contributors (306->343), forks (3974->4300), watchers (1157->1170) and stars (22,097->23,326) How has the project developed since the last report? * Added Christine Chambers as a new committer * In general, there has been a healthy, constant flow of bug fixes, quality improvements and new features. Please see project’s commit log on Github for more details. Some highlights: New features * Refined layout of SQL Lab. * Added back-end for tagging system, for organization and discovery of content. * Added support for customization of deployments: feature flags, custom logo. * Decoupled visualizations as plugins that can be added/removed. * Omnibar on dashboard page, to enable users to easily switch between dashboards. * New deck.gl polygon visualization type that accommodates aggregated spatial types (zip, geohash, etc.) Bug fixes, code quality and housekeeping * All files now include ASF header. * A lighter, more accurate events logger for user interactivities with timing. * More translations were added. * Sped up build time and tests on Travis CI. * Fixed vulnerabilities from dependencies.

I have been impressed over the last 3 months with the renewed effort this community is putting into learning and adopting the Apache Way. IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Superset is an enterprise-ready web application for data exploration, data visualization and dashboarding. Superset has been incubating since 2017-05-21. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Project operations - There are 3 specific issues that have been brought to our attention that we are committed to addressing: Discussions happening offline from dev@superset.incubator.apache.org (more below under issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board should be aware of) Unapproved releases (more below under issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board should be aware of) Trademark - Some research has been conducted here https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/PODLINGNAMESEARCH/issues/PODLINGNAME SEARCH-124 , but more details have been requested. The expected format output described is not very prescriptive. Just commented asking for a example of a well executed name search. 2. Plan and execute our first Apache release. Though we have been in incubation for a year and a half, we are committed to planning and following through on our first Apache release together with the community by kicking off a discussion thread on dev@superset.incubator.apache.org to align on the deliverables for the first Apache release. 3. Align on a long-term product roadmap with the broader Apache Superset community. As a part of planning our first Apache release, we would also like to build out the high-level roadmap for the project with a look ahead of 1 year. We plan to create this by starting a discussion thread on dev@superset.incubator.apache.org to work collaboratively on a vision and roadmap for 2019. Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of? * Discussions happening offline from email - The dev@superset.incubator.apache.org email list has not been very active as a channel of discussion. To be clear, this is both a result of 1) when the list started, GitHub spammed the email list with notifications and our hypothesis is that many people filtered this email alias 2) the Apache email list does not support images making it challenging to support a project that is UI-heavy as a tool for data visualization and 3) other communication channels are being used to compliment the email list. On #3, there is an open bi-weekly meeting for contributors and committers to discuss issues (no decisions are made here - please see the update on SIPs in the project development section) and while the link to the Google Doc with the notes was posted to the dev@superset.incubator.apache.org email list, we could have done a better job of posting the notes from the meetings and we recognize that it is more challenging for some community members who live in other timezones to participate. There are also two reasonably active forums for live discussions (Slack Group http://apache-superset.slack.com and Gitter Channel https://gitter.im/airbnb/superset) however, we now know that casual conversations should only happen on these channels and that the majority of the discussion needs to happen via email. As a next step, we will have an initial meeting with the Mentors, PPMC and Committers on Thursday, December 13th to figure out what it takes to address this issue and help get the project on track. We will also use this meeting as an opportunity to align across the PPMC and Committers about our obligations and responsibilities as well as to receive coaching from our Mentors on the Apache Way. * Unapproved releases - Currently, committers working on the project have not been following the proper procedures in discussing the content of releases on the dev@superset.incubator.apache.org email list nor have we been consistent in bringing releases to a vote. This negatively impacts the ability of other community members to participate. We were uncertain how to manage the LICENSE/COPYRIGHT files and how they relate to convenience releases and we have struggled to understand how to proceed with the name search requirement. That said, it doesn’t justify pushing a release forward and at a minimum we will discontinue this practice. We will also discuss this with our Mentors on 12/13 to receive coaching on this topic. * As mentioned earlier, having an Apache email list that doesn’t support images makes it very challenging for our project. We would be interested to know if the ASF Infrastructure Team has any plans to address this. * We currently only have 3 active PMCs (1 inactive). We should strive to add more PMCs to the project. How has the community developed since the last report? * Organic growth of our Github contributors (274->306), forks (3627->3974), watchers (1077->1157) and stars (20,519->22,097) * Added Krist Wongsuphasawat as a new committer. How has the project developed since the last report? * We have been intentional in discussing and voting on issues using GitHub (for SIPs) as it supports images (a current challenge with the Apache email listserv) and held votes for them on the dev@superset.incubator.apache.org list * Faster, easier editing of datasources (adding new metrics, dimensions, metadata) - We've now added the ability to modify datasources directly from the Explore view. * New time range filter with added simple default options, and relative date filters. * Url shortener for dashboards, for easier sharing. * Improvements to the visualize flow - You can now go from a sql query right to a chart without needing to configure columns. * A healthy, constant flow of bug fixes, quality improvements and new features, take a look at the project’s Pulse on Github for more details How does the podling rate their own maturity.

3. Grow the community and enroll new committers
Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware
of?
* At this point in time, we’re having issues on how to come up with the
LICENSE file needed for our first Apache release given the number of
dependencies we have on the Javascript side. Since we package the JS
bundle along with our Python application, it seems like we'll have to
come up with either a programmatic way to extract the LICENSE info, or ship
the application without the JS deps, and provide instruction has to how to
fetch and build the package deps, which isn't very convenient. We also have
some minor deps on GPL lib, one of which we need to get clarity as to how
to to handle them. It's related to the "chardet" sub dependency of the Pypi
requests library.
Currently, we believe there are 2 approaches to dealing with the LICENSE
and NOTICE files for Superset. Either:
A) Dynamically building these files by querying npm/pypi (the javascript
and python package repositories) for all the metadata and assembling these
files. See the list of JS packages organized by licenses here:
Https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/pull/5801
B) The other approach is to distributed a stripped down version of Superset
that has a script that fetches external deps and builds it.
The committers are activating around these issues and thinking creatively
about resolving them. A thread on dev@superset.incubator.apache.org was
started and a discussion is taking place.
How has the community developed since the last report?
* Organic growth of our Github contributors (246->274), forks (3318->3627),
watchers
(1020->1077) and stars (19,399->20,519)
* Group of active committers meeting bi-weekly from Airbnb, Lyft and
Twitter. Added Michelle Thomas as a new committer.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* A completely redesigned dashboarding experience launched
* Big Number charts have a new look and visualization
* In the Table Config & SQL Lab -> Explore View, clicking a data source now
opens a modal with table editing for settings, columns, calculated columns,
& metrics
* Addition of integration and functional tests
* A healthy, constant flow of bug fixes, quality improvements and new
features, take a look at the project’s Pulse on Github for more details
