## Project Activity:

### Code
Apache Kyuubi just passed the vote for 1.7.2, which is a maintenance
releases release, carrying several bug fixes.

This September, we are about to start the vote for 1.8.0, which is
a feature release, carrying improvements like,
- A brand new Web UI and Batch API V2
- Support Apache Flink application-mode
- Support Scala 2.13 compilation
- Support Apache Spark 3.4

In addition to the ongoing work on the 1.9 line, early discussion and
exploratory work for Kyuubi 3.x has begun. 1.9 might mainly achieve
these goals:

- Support Java up to 21, including 17+
- Support Scala 3.x
- Native Support for MPP engines, such as Apache Doris, Impala, etc

### Meetup & conference

- 2023-8-18(Beijing), more than 8 kyuubi community members attended

### Developer event

We've been planning `2023 Kyuubi Coding Contribution Program` in this
quater and it will be luanched this October.

## Community Health:

We've received new usecases and contributions from Nivida, AWS, Shopee,
etc., it's good sigh for us to see kyuubi being adopted in large vendors.
The dev mailing list had big decrease in the past quarter, as the users and
contributors are more likely to use tools like Wechat group, Github Issues.
We don't have a proper solution for it right now.
