Release Candidate:
- IoTDB-0.12.2 RC3 was proposed on 2021-09-08

Besides, we opened a new repo iotdb-web-workbench for IoTDB's new module.


## Community Health:

In last quarter report, we reported that the dev@ mailing list
traffic decreased.
We investigated the reason and find it is because many discussion
happens on Confluence document.

This quarter, dev@ mailing list is more active (53% traffic increase),
for two reasons: (1) we encourage contributors discuss on the dev@,
and (2) more new contributors joins. We think the community is back to healthy.

Two more things:

- The community joined ApacheCon Asia.
- The community enabled Github Discussion, which is used for user-help.
- The community had a discussion about how to celebrate the first
anniversary of IoTDB's graduation from the Incubator.
But no a clear consensus up to now. Will keep to discuss.

Recently, the project introduced E2E tests for guarantee the
cluster module works well.

Besides, we are developing a new feature, called aligned time series,
which is very common in many applications.
The design document (Chinese)is on IoTDB's confluence.

## Community Health:

The good news is we have more and more contributors.
It is benefited from GSoC 2021 (though IoTDB has no tasks
that are selected finally) and Chinese Summer 2021 of
Open Source Promotion Plan.

The bad news is the dev@ mailing list traffic decreases,
which is a serious signal.
The PMC group will keep eye on it and try to improve the
public discussion in next quarter.

 - Some interesting features are merged into the main branch,
e.g., the UDF (User Define Function), Cluster module, Integration with
Apache Zeppelin.

## Community Health:

According to Github's statistics, the number of IoTDB's code contributors
reaches to 100!

The number of discussions on the dev@ mailing list, the number of PRs
decreases, the Chinese New Year holiday is one of the reasons.

However, we can see the number of emails in the review@ mailing list
increases, it is good because it indicates more discussions happen.

The number of opened issues also increases, which indicates more and
more user requirements are received.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members (project graduated recently).
- No new committers were added.

## Project Activity:

- We are releasing the first major version of IoTDB after its graduation,
v0.11.0. A vote for the version has begun.

- In the version, 16 new features are introduced, include:
 - new compression method
 - enhanced deletion and query SQLs
 - data compaction in the backend

 etc..

- There are two talks about IoTDB on Apache RoadShow in China,
 one is for the project and the other is for the community.

## Community Health:

- 141 emails sent in Sep while 127 mails sent in Oct. Both the number of
participators are 33.
But, indeed we saw many new participators in Oct.  Besides, we think
the number of the email is reasonable as in Sep we have many votes
for graduation.

- 79 PRs are merged in Sep while 177 PRs are merged in Oct.

- Another good thing is some non-developers join the community,
for modifying the documents, etc..

## Description:

The Apache IoTDB is an IoT native database with high performance
for data management and analysis on both the edge and the cloud.

## Issues:

There are no new issues requiring board attention at this time.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members (project graduated recently).
- No new committers were added.

- Chao Wang was added as a committer on 2020-09-03 before IoTDB graduated.

## Project Activity:

Software development activity:

 - 0.10.1 was released on 2020-08-23.
- We are organizing the design documents on IoTDB's cwiki space
- We are working for v0.11
- Two proposals are submitted and accepted for Outreachy Intern

Meetups and Conferences:

- We had two public talks about IoTDB, one is "Use cases and
optimizations of IoTDB" on ApacheCon 2020, and another is
"IoTDB and Hadoop: Connecting the edge and the cloud open source
ecosystem for IIoT" on Hadoop meetup in Shanghai, China.


## Community Health:

As IoTDB graduated less than 30 days, the statistics provided by
the Board Report Wizard seems incorrect. I count the metrics manually.
As IoTDB has report in Sep, I just count the data in one month:

- Commit activity:
  - 434 commits in the last month
- GitHub PR activity:
  - 136 PRs opened on GitHub, last month
  - 108 PRs closed on GitHub, last month
- JIRA activity:
  - 81 issues opened in JIRA, last month
- Mailing list (dev@):
  - 196 mails were sent (down 35) and there are 35 participants (down 6)
    We think the data fluctuation is reasonable as (1) there are some
    participants from China and they have 8 days National Holiday,
    (2) there are some Chinese graduate students in the community and they
    have summar holiday and are busy at the beginning of a new semester.

timestamped data from IoT sensors in industrial applications.

IoTDB has been incubating since 2018-11-18.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Learn to discuss things on the mailing list, rather than just post an
 ISSUE created or closed message, or discuss on Github.

 should join to vote.
 3. Write more documentation to help new contributors.

### 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?

 IoTDB is a data store for managing large amounts of time series data such
 as timestamped data from IoT sensors in industrial applications.

 IoTDB has been incubating since 2018-11-18.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Make the community (both the contributors and committers/PPMCs)
 more diverse  and learn to discuss things on the mailing list.
 2. More committers should know how to release a version.
 3. Write more documentation to help new contributors.

### 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?

 1. Some new contributors joined the community.  E.g., PR#339 comes
 from a new contributor and it is really an interesting feature.
 2. Some contributors (who are not committers yet) are more active
 than before. E.g., Boris Zhu and Jack Tsai.
 3. More users began to report their issues. E.g.,  issue #171, #184
 and #186.

 As all the above contributions and contributors are not from the
 institutions/companies where initial committers are, we think it is a
 good signal that indicates more guys noticing the community.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 1. IoTDB releases its first Apache version: v0.8.0 !
 2. IoTDB is more stable and the performance is far better than
 before. However, the version is incompatible with previous version (which
 are released before IoTDB is denoted to ASF).
 3. In v0.8.0, many issues are resolved (see release notes:
 http://iotdb.apache.org/#/Materials/Release%20Notes)

    Comments:  I really would like to see more mailing list usage, cause

 We can find that IoTDB is becoming a new choice when users need a time
 series database. New users from UCI (IoTDB-104), Sangfor Inc., University
 of Liverpool (IoTDB-94) etc. are testing and proposing issues for IoTDB.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 1. IoTDB is more stable than before. Now it works well on a VM provided
 by Apache (iotdb-vm.apache.org).
 2. A distributed version is almost done (in the 'cluster branch').

 3. In the last 3 months, we opened 78 JIRA issues and resolved/closed 40
 JIRA issues.
