Please Note 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.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

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).

Seata

15 May 2024

Seata(Simple Extensible Autonomous Transaction Architecture)is an easy-to-
use and high-performance distributed transaction solution, used to solve the
data consistency problem.

Seata has been incubating since 2023-10-29.

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

 1. Build the ASF first release. At present, we have completed API
 compatibility and data compatibility with the original non-Apache package.
 2. The community grows to attract more users and elect more committers
 and PPMC members.
 3. More discussions in @dev.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 No issues at the moment.

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

 This is the first report. The data below is in comparison to when we
 initially entered the Apache Incubator.
 - 44 new contributors have joined the community (497 contributors in
 total)
 - 3 new committers were elected, and no PPMC was elected.
 - Hosted 4 offline meetups, 10 online bi-weekly meetings, and several
 online technical architecture review sessions.

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

 This is the first report. The data below is in comparison to when we
 initially entered the Apache Incubator.
 - The main Seata project has completed API and data compatibility with
 the original non-Apache package, removed all incompatible licenses, and
 merged 140 PRs. Regression testing is currently in progress in preparation
 for the release of the first ASF version.
 - Implemented transaction support for Apache RocketMQ; replaced the
 original ggEditor framework with the diagram-js framework, completing the
 new version of the online Saga state machine designer; supports Saga mode
 Java non-Spring transaction API; supports Raft metadata synchronization;
 the seata-k8s project has supported for the Seata-Server Raft cluster mode;
 MockServer, and other features.
 - The Seata official website has been redesigned to meet the needs of
 multi-version documentation, blogs, download pages, and more. In addition,
 compliant governance of the website has been carried out following the
 guidelines for Podlings.
 - The community has implemented large-scale third-party dependency
 security management.  Since entering the incubator, Seata has eliminated
 271 dependency vulnerabilities.
 - The community has refactored over 30 examples in the samples project,
 making the code structure more concise and clear, and better achieving the
 unification of dependency management and business scenarios.

 Dave Fisher: There is a biweekly community meeting. The notes from
 that meeting should be brought back to the dev@ mailing list.
 Otherwise the podling is on the correct path.
