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.

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).
Cloudberry is an advanced and mature open-source Massively Parallel
Processing (MPP) database, derived from the open-source version of
Pivotal Greenplum Database®️ but built on a more modern PostgreSQL 14
kernel, whereas Greenplum is based on PostgreSQL 12. This upgrade
brings enhanced enterprise capabilities, making Cloudberry well-suited
for data warehousing, large-scale analytics, and AI/ML workloads.
Cloudberry has been incubating since 2024-10-11.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Complete the source code cleanup to ensure ASF compliance.
2. Publish the first Apache release following ASF release processes.
3. Expand the contributor base and community engagement to ensure
long-term sustainability.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
- Mailing List Activity: 63 messages on the Dev mailing list in Feb 2025,
covering technical discussions and roadmap planning.
- Slack Activity: 8 new threads on the `#general` channel, though no new
users joined.
- GitHub Discussions: 27 new discussions since Cloudberry entered
incubation in October 2024, reflecting engagement on technical topics and
project direction.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
- Codebase Updates:
- Integrated key contributions from the open-source Greenplum project
while aligning them with Cloudberry’s roadmap.
- Ongoing source code cleanup to ensure ASF compliance and prepare for
the first official release.
- Continuous Integration & Testing:
- CI is now in place for the Rocky Linux 9 platform.
- Testing has been extensively expanded since incubation, covering all
PRs and main branch submissions.
- GitHub Actions Workflows leverage automated builds for required
resources (e.g., Docker containers).
- The developer community has played a key role in shaping the CI and
development processes, contributing feedback, enhancements, and best
practices.
- We have adopted an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) methodology to manage
CI resources efficiently.
- Potential Integration of Apache MADlib:
- There has been discussion within the community about potentially
incorporating Apache MADlib into Cloudberry.
- Current interest appears to be low, but we will hold an official vote
on this topic soon to determine the next steps.
- Documentation Improvements:
- Added and updated technical documentation to improve onboarding for new
users and contributors.
