Report was filed, but display is awaiting the approval of the Board minutes.
TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.
TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Keep growing the community
2. Improve documentation, including document translation
3. Continuously improve system performance and increase system features
### 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?
Since the last report,the TubeMQ community has welcomed one new committer
member: the project community has continued to be active,
attracting many contributors for extensive cooperation and
contributions,the total number of contributors has increased to
53(code:39,website:14).
At the same time,we have adapted to the project operation style of the
Apache community:we move project-related communications,program
discussions,
and task implementation to e-mail, transparentize the entire project
process, and operate according to community standards.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We successfully released the first release version according to the
Apache process: the project has made a lot of usability improvements under
the contribution of everyone,including document finishing,support based
on Docker and K8S container operation,
and data reporting pipeline support upstream and downstream (Including
data access based on Flume,source and sink based on Flink and Spark), etc;
at the same time, we have also made a lot of adjustments in functions and
performance.

None
### How has the community developed since the last report?
We elected the first external Committer, and at the same time,
the questions based on the use of feedback gradually increased,
from this point, it can be speculated that the project has begun
to be followed and used by more people; the official version
is being prepared, we will release the first version recently.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Near the first Apache release launch.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.
TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1.Launch the first Apache release.
2.Make development document more easily to read.
3.Grow the community to involve more contributors and increase the
diversity.
### 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?
At this stage, no community activities were initiated, but we internally
initiated
a vote for the project committer and selected the first committer of the
project.
I believe this will promote the subsequent development of the project
community.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project is nearing completion of the migration to the Apache
incubator:
at this stage, we have completed the change of the project's package
name, the standardization of file's LICENSE, and the launch of the project
home page but the documentation and project home page content relatively
lacking, this part needs to be improved in the next stage.

Towards migrating to Apache incubator, we submitted SGA, builded home

We are leading everyone to communicate via email, Jira(not just IM).

we'd better to notice everyone on dev mail list.

Comments: Needed a little help of getting the report together. Try
to keep offlist communication to a minimum and bring things back
to the mailing list.

2. Grow the community to involve more contributors and increase the

Needs mentors and IPMCs to help to bootstrap the project and follow the
Apache way to grow the community.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Currently the project is still on migrating, because of the migrating
gap, there's 60+ GH issues and 80+ GH PRs submitted,
and over 25 contributors on this project, but this was not happened in
Apache JIRA/repo, we will migrate them soon.
Also We hosted 3 meetups to promote this project.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Towards migrating to Apache incubator, like building home pages, launch
first Apache release.

Comments: Slow bootstrapping, but it seems it moved forward.
I would be happy to help.
### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Junping Du: The project get bootstrap a bit late due to misunderstanding
on Champion role of the project. The email list and JIRA are setup just
recently, so contributors and committers are still learning how to
communicate through JIRA and dev alias - it takes time but things are
getting better.
Justin Mclean: Your mentors can't help if you don't communicate on the
dev list. Your number one aim should be to move communication on list and
work with your mentors in the open to complete the bootstrap process. This
is the PPMC responsibility not just the mentors or the IPMC as mentioned in
the issues. Several mentors and IPMC requests have gone unanswered, please
make sure these are responded to.
Dave Fisher: It is important that PPMC Members drive the move with the
help of active Mentors. I feel that Junping is in a dual role but is less
experienced. Justin and JBO are the experienced mentors that will need to
step in with the guidance. Two months in including the year end holidays
the podling is actually doing OK.
