Approved by General Consent.
4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander]
Other than the agenda, I have very little to report.
Meetings have been running smoothly, and I'm confident they will
continue as such. Pre-approvals are working well. The amount of
missing reports is roughly the same as last month, despite not
receiving a second reminder this month.
My push for timely submissions has not been strong this month.
B. President [David]
It's been a relatively quiet month in operations, though there's quite
a bit going on.
I renewed the ASF's D&O Insurance this month with no change in
coverage.
Folks here know that Sally Khudairi has, for many years, served
as the VP of Marketing and Publicity. In addition, she’s the Principal
of HALO Worldwide, the ASF’s contract PR firm.
Nearly a month ago, I split those roles up a bit, and appointed Joe
Brockmeier as the VP of M&P. Sally will continue executing on her
contract to provide PR services for the ASF. In practical terms, you
probably won’t notice a change. People will still liaise with Sally
for both inbound and outbound marketing support. However, the ASF has
a reputation for being volunteer-led, and I think that this helps
continue that tradition, while at the same time removing what appears
to be a potential conflict of interest between the Foundation and the
Foundation’s largest contractor.
I and the Foundation owe Sally many thanks for her years in this role.
Joe has transitioned into place and seems to be onboarding to the task
well.
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 8.
C. Treasurer [Myrle]
Summary:
Collaboration with IgniteSpot on accounting continues to work
smoothly.
Because of holidays, June was another quiet month. Treasurer and
Assistant Treasurer have been intermittently unavailable over the last
month, leading to pauses on several of the things we’re working on.
We had said we weren’t going to report this month, due to vacation.
But a few things have happened, so here we are...
Additional Assistant Treasurer
In order to improve our “lottery factor” in the Treasurer’s office,
we’ve asked that the board name an additional Assistant Treasurer.
The discussion item can be found later in the board agenda.
Reporting improvements
We delivered the first Fathom-generated report to the board on the
private board list last month. No comments were received, so we are
currently assuming that it was acceptable.
Additional reports by budget area for officers is the next step.
Transition to TDBank
We were able to transition one more fundraising account from
depositing to Citizens to depositing to TDBank. That leaves only one
last account that we know of. Once that is complete we will do one
last check with fundraising, and then close the Citizens bank
accounts.
Introduction of virtual credit cards
Virtual credit cards are working as they should. We are earning a
small bonus each month, where previously we were paying fees and
interest. Officers have been either silent or complimentary about the
new functionality.
We are currently, together with fundraising, exploring the use of
virtual credit cards as a way for PMCs with project funds to spend
those funds in a manner that is transparent to their communities. Bob
Paulin is driving this proposal, and I’m very pleased with his ideas
and suggestions.
Preparation of tax returns
We have paused this work due to vacation and other factors, and will
pick it back up again in the coming month.
D. Secretary [Matt]
In June 2021, the secretary team received and filed 34 ICLAs, 2
software grants, and 2 CoI affirmations. Continued work on updating
the ICLA form for better record keeping.
E. Executive Vice President [Ruth]
Seconding the president on our thanks to Sally for her long service,
as well as welcoming Joe into his new role and supporting him in the
process.
We've had a continuing desire for high-level sponsorships for
ApacheCon, which is wonderful. The current count is:

-----------------------------------------
Attachment 3: Report from the VP of Marketing and Publicity [Joe Brockmeier]
General
=======
First month as VP of Marketing & Publicity so still getting the lay of
the land, so to speak. Have been having regular 1:1s with Sally about
work in progress via HALO and former processes, etc.
Have also met with contractors doing work under M&P budget, Kenneth + Swapnil,
to learn what they work on and what resources are available.
Worked with Sally to get access to Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Need to also get
access to YouTube. Already had access to Foundation blog.
Budget
======
Have been set up to process payments / invoices via Bill.com and Ramp
accounts. Taking over processing invoices related to M&P from Sally.
Will be considering whether we need to continue some tools, such as
Hootsuite, or if we can shed those costs or use better/other tools.
Discussed Hootsuite briefly with Brian Proffitt who has also used it
for ApacheCon, no objections to discontinuing.
Activities
==========
Published: “Success at Apache: Security in Practice” by Jarek
Potiuk https://s.apache.org/1upl4
Press Releases: No formal announcements since the last M&P report.
Informal Announcements: Published six items on the ASF "Foundation" Blog,
including four Apache News Round-ups and one monthly overview, totalling 392
news summaries published to date. We tweeted 11 items to 59.9K followers on
Twitter, and posted 10 items to 49.2K followers on LinkedIn. The ASF’s YouTube
channel had 11.9K views this month.
Future Announcements: Six announcements are in development.
Media Relations: Four media queries. Sally is working with a top-tier reporter
on a long-lead project. Sally reports a total of 3,594 hits vs. last month’s
3,792, inclusive of coverage on the ASF, Apache Projects, and ApacheCon.
Analyst Relations: Received two analyst queries and are working on a follow-up
questionnaire following a briefing for a report that’s scheduled to be
published in December. Apache was mentioned in a total of 28 reports by
Gartner, Forrester, 451 Research, GigaOm, and IDC.
Board Input / Action Required
=============================
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [David Nalley]
General
=======
Infrastructure is operating as expected, and has no current issues
requiring escalation to the President or the Board.
Highlights
==========
- www.a.o is running on the new Pelican-based publishing workflow.
Infra is following up with a few remaining PMCs to transition their
websites off the PMC.
- Infra job posting is now live on Indeed.com
- Have begun moving TLP websites to the Fastly CDN. All sites will be
moved to the CDN, in the next few weeks.
Short Term Priorities
=====================
- Decommission minotaur and the CMS.
Long Range Priorities
=====================
- Turn off mail-archive/private, in favor of lists.a.o
General Activity
================
- LDAP upgrade/migration work continues.
- Continued Puppet v3 to v6 migrations. Nearing the end.
- Finalizing and roughing out the edges of our move from Bintray to
Artifactory at JFrog.
- Upgraded BuildBot system to BB3. In-process on a plan to migrate
projects from BB0.8 to the new system.
- Turned off the meet.a.o experiment. The technology simply wasn't
mature enough to create an easy-to-maintain audio/video meeting
platform for the Foundation's projects.
- Workflow refinements to make it easier for projects to use Pelican
for their websites.
- Our new logging cluster servers were provisioned, and are being set
up to collect logs from our many systems.
- Work done on a database to construct mappings for old lists.a.o
permalinks that used a prior Ponymail algorithm. Work continues to
get this tested, to ensure we have all needed data.
- New Jenkins controller for the Maven project, to include their own
nodes and reduce impact on the Foundation-wide build nodes.
- Deployed a new backup server. More storage, lesser cost.
- gitwcsub turned off, in favor of .asf.yaml only.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Conferences [Rich Bowen]
Everything is going well for our to upcoming flagship events,
ApacheCon @Home 2021 and ApacheCon Asia 2021. Schedules are published,
and we are still seeking keynotes for these events.
Registration is open, and is also going well for both events, with
around 500 attendees already registered for each.
All Platinum sponsorships for both events are spoken for (they are
limited because they are tied to keynote spots) but other sponsorship
opportunities are still available.

and filling out the keynote spots. Project communities have already
been very active in promoting their tracks to their users and
developers.
Details about the two events are available at https://apachecon.com/
ApacheCon Asia 2021 will be held August 6th through 9th.
ApacheCon @Home 2021 will be held September 21th through 24th

Attachment 8: Report from the VP of Data Privacy [Christian Grobmeier]
Data removals:
There was one serious request to remove data; however, it turned out the 18
year old emails are not hosted by the ASF.
General activities:
We have drafted the new website policy:
https://privacy.apache.org/policies/privacy-policy-public.html
There are also new draft versions of internal policies for mailing lists and

Initial work on the catalog of services was done as well
(with focus on public facing services).
Several data protection agreements (DPAs) were collected. We are well on our
way to have working privacy policies for our public webpages soon.
Next action items:
- complete and communicate new policies
- clarify with infra if self hosted plausible.io is a possible alternative to
Google Analytics
- work on contributor and committer privacy policies

Attachment 10: Report from the Apache Legal Affairs Committee [Roman Shaposhnik]
Past month has been pretty calm. Committee members took good care of resolving
most issues on time. We've resolved quite a few issues and are down to 19 from
the 26 that were unresolved last month.
Work on simplifying our approach to ECCN filings is slowly progressing. We now
have additional recommendations published by Linux Foundation and are in
active discussions with their legal team on the details:

Attachment 11: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark J. Cox]
Continued work on incoming security issues, keeping projects reminded
of outstanding issues, and general oversight and advice.
Stats for Jun 2021:
31 [license confusion]
26 [support request/question not security notification]
Security reports: 56 (last months: 45, 41, 27, 46)
16 [site]
11 [dubbo]
3 [airflow], [commons], [httpd]
2 [ozone], [superset], [trafficserver]
1 [apr], [directory], [flink], [geode], [hadoop],
[infrastructure], [kafka], [openoffice], [roller],
[shiro], [solr], [storm], [tinkerpop], [tomcat]
In total, as of 1st Jul 2021, we're tracking 85 (last month:
77) open issues across 35 projects, median age 54 (last month:
60) days. 45 of those issues have CVE names assigned.
6 (last month: 8) of these issues, across 5 projects, are older
than 365 days.

Attachment 12: Report from the VP of Jakarta EE Relations [Rob Tompkins]
My day job has had me fairly busy for the month, so I haven't done much in the
JakartaEE zone. Also it's looking like I'm going to generally get busier in
that zone over the coming months. I wonder if I should try to hand off the VP
position to David Blevins (of TomEE), as he seems to be the person who's most
in the middle of the relationship between Jakarta and the ASF. Curious to hear
your thoughts.
Cheers,
-Rob

Attachment A: Report from the Apache Accumulo Project [Ed Coleman]
## Description:
The Apache Accumulo is a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with
cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing.
## Issues:
There are no new issues requiring board attention.
The trademark issue with http:www.accumulodata.com is still open. The domain
was to have expired on 2021-06-28 and had entered the grace period when
checked on 2021-06-29. However, as of 2021-07-14 it looks like the
registration was extended for another year, the expiration is now 2022-06-28.
I reached out to the owner for clarification. No action has been required and
allowing the domain to expire was deemed a viable option by Brand Management
VP in Jan-2021 to minimize volunteer efforts.
## Membership Data:
Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (9 years ago) There are currently 39
committers and 39 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
1:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Karthick Narendran on 2021-01-21.
- No new committers. Last addition was Karthick Narendran on 2021-01-22.
## Project Activity:
No new releases this reporting period. Last release dates:
- accumulo-2.0.1 was released on 2020-12-24.
- accumulo-1.10.1 was released on 2020-12-22.
Project activity on the next release remains active with significant
improvements to the current baseline. The remaining issues are being actively
worked.
## Community Health:
Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent.
- Increase in code contributor 81% (21 individuals) Driven by successful
participation in an Open Source Hackathon for Diversity (April 29-30) The
goal of the Hackathon was to kick-start involvement in the OSS community and
foster an environment for contributions and increase the diversity of the
OSS communities. Overall, 6 new contributors successfully submitted code
contributions as part of the Hackathon.
- Mailing list / GitHub activity. The continued decreases in mailing list
activity reflect the community leveraging GitHub for community
collaboration.
- Jira Activity (65 issues closed, 66% increase). The increase in Jira
activity reflects transition to using GitHub issues as obsolete issues are
closed and open issues are transitioned to GitHub issues.

Attachment G: Report from the Apache Arrow Project [Wes McKinney]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Arrow is the creation and maintenance of software related
to columnar in-memory processing and data interchange
## Issues:
* Most issues from previous board reports have been addressed though we would
benefit as discussed from more mentorship in the Apache Way for
new contributors.
* Long GitHub Actions queueing times for CI jobs have been an occasional
concern. We are aware that we are one of the most greedy consumers of GHA
minutes in the ASF, so we will continue to think about future strategies to
supplement GitHub Actions with dedicated build infrastructure. Our CI/CD
needs are some of the most complex that we've observed in mainstream open
source software.
## Membership Data:
Apache Arrow was founded 2016-01-19 (5 years ago)
There are currently 61 committers and 34 PMC members in this project.

repositories and begun making biweekly releases on a schedule. This progress
seems to be going reasonably smoothly and the prior issues have been
adequately addressed.
* We are progressing as usual toward making our ~quarterly major release, now
5.0.0.
## Community Health:
* We've succeeded at significantly expanding the committership and PMC this
quarter, and our community growth in general continues to be robust.

-----------------------------------------
Attachment J: Report from the Apache Avro Project [Ismaël Mejía]
## Description:
Apache Avro is a data serialization system with a compact binary format. It is
used for storing and transporting schema driven serialized data. The unique
features of Avro include automatic schema resolution - when the reader's
expected schema is different from the actual schema with which the data was
serialized the data is automatically adapted to meet reader's requirements.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Avro was founded 2010-04-20 (10 years ago)
There are currently 34 committers and 24 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new committers. Last addition was Kengo Seki on 2020-07-08.
- No new PMC member elected. Last addition was Ryan Skraba on 2020-09-14
## Project Activity:
An Avro implementation based on Rust was integrated into Apache Avro (donated
by Yelp). Due to this and some in progress contributions the Avro 1.11.0
release was slightly delayed to Q3.
For those who prefer metrics:
Mailing Lists:
- dev@avro.apache.org had 665 emails (43% decrease)
- user@avro.apache.org had 37 emails (54% increase)
- issues@avro.apache.org had 155 emails (51% decrease)
JIRA:
- 63 issues opened (-28% change)
- 35 issues closed (-43% change)
Commit activity:
- 107 commits in the past quarter (-52% decrease)
- 14 code contributors in the past quarter (-41% change)
GitHub:
- 93 PRs open (-35% change)
- 86 PRs closed (-38% change)
## Community Health:
Community health is doing well at drawing in contributions. The pace was lower
during this quarter, the number of contributors diminished. We had the
donation of an Avro implementation on Rust which we expect will grow in
interest once released. The PMC keeps the ongoing track of recognizing
contributors through committership.
We are slight off of our expected release cadence (average a release every two
quarters due to the new codebase and some unfinished work). Work to modernize
some implementations (C++/Ruby) is still ongoing as well as the intention to
downstream Avro releases into other downstream Apache projects eagerly.

is related to, during project inception, all Apache Spark committers
being given committership access to the project. Note that, any active
committers that stayed active for a little while are now PMC members.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was João Boto on 2020-07-09.
- No new committers. Last addition was Łukasz Antoniak on 2019-01-21.
## Project Activity:
Apache Bahir community continues to see a steady medium flow of
contributions enhancing the existing extensions for both
Apache Spark and Apache Flink with the flink side of Bahir being
the most active.

Attachment Q: Report from the Apache CXF Project [Daniel Kulp]
## Description:
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and
develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS and JAX-RS.
These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP,
RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS
or JBI.
There are also two sub-projects that leverage CXF:
Fediz - Fediz helps you to secure your web applications via the standard
WS-Federation Passive Requestor Profile.
DOSGi - is the reference implementation of the Distribution Provider component
of the OSGi Remote Services Specification
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache CXF was founded 2008-04-15 (13 years ago)
There are currently 43 committers and 26 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Andy McCright on 2019-02-24.
- No new committers. Last addition was Alexey Markevich on 2017-12-29.
We have a few patches from various people, but nothing strong enough for
consideration as a committer. We've tried to encourage some additional
involvement from various people, but not much response at this point.
## Project Activity:
The primary focus this period was bug fixes for a patch release for 3.4.
There were several important regressions and bugs in 3.4 that were fixed
as part of 3.4.4. Another chunk of work has been testing and fixing
problems that will be caused by Java17 with hopes that we will be able
to release a version of CXF that will be fully Java17 compatible when
Java17 is released.
Recent releases:
3.3.11 was released on 2021-06-08.
3.4.4 was released on 2021-06-08.
## Community Health:
For the most part, the project is making steady, but not stellar, progress.
Many of the protocols and specs that CXF implements are mature specs and don't
really change much. Thus, steady progress and regular releases are a good
thing. We are responding to bug reports and security issues and getting
patch releases out.

## Project Activity:
The last version, 1.6.0 was released on 2020-03-31. We will probably do a
minor release in this next quarter.
A blog post describing datafu-spark was published on the "Technology at
PayPal" blog on 2021-07-13:
https://medium.com/paypal-tech/introducing-datafu-spark-ba67faf1933a
We will publish a variant of this post on our own DataFu blog in the next few
days. We hope that these posts will draw attention to datafu-spark and draw
contributions and contributors.
## Community Health:
2 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter.
As written above, I hope that the blog post introducing the new module
released last year will kindle renewed interest in our project, since it
represents the addition of Spark (a newer technology) to make up for the
dwindling interest in the older modules.

Attachment W: Report from the Apache Dubbo Project [Ian Luo]
## Description:
Apache Dubbo is a high-performance, lightweight RPC framework used to
facilitate the build of the Microservices architecture.
## Issues:
The community continues to receive many security vulnerability reports, and
the entire community has not paid enough attention to this part at first. But
the good thing is that in the second half of the reporting cycle, the entire
community has significantly increased its emphasis on vulnerability fixes.
Several versions have been released for this purpose, and the speed of
response to new reports has also been significantly improved.
We wonder if there are any security scanning mechanisms in the Apache
community that can help us quickly and intensively find out those potential
vulnerabilities, so that we can focus on repairing them, so as to avoid
passively following third-party security agency reports which unavoidingly
added bad reputations to both the project and the Apache community. I have to
admit that our entire community is still relatively weak in this regard.
## Membership Data:
Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (2 years ago)
There are currently 69 committers and 21 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1.

## Community Health:
We have been focusing on the development and iteration of the product itself
in the past quarter, these includes the development of planned features, bug
fixes of stable version, and the merging and review of developer
contributions. That explains why there's a significant increase in
Github-related activity. For a long period of time in the future, we expect to
continue to focus on product development, focusing on features that have been
concluded and planned but have not yet been fulfilled.

## Community Health:
Community is healthy with a slide decline in mailing list and GitHub Activities
over the past few months. This is probably due to the Software getting more
stable and people getting a better understanding on how Fineract works.
There has been an increase in the mailing list and GitHub activities over the
past 1 month relative to 2 months ago as GSoC student continue to contribute
to the project.

* Added configured ssh keys to the proxy
Muchos was also updated to support external compactions in Accumulo and to
respect a users configured classpath.
Uno was updated to support the new way Accumulo does encryption.
## Community Health:

## Project Activity:
Project got some releases recently, mainly to address JDK upgrades and Jakarta
namespace.
Last releases:
- batchee-1.0.0 was released on 2021-05-17.
- xbean-4.19 was released on 2021-04-18.
- arthur-1.0.2 was released on 2021-02-22.
## Community Health:
We got less traffic/exchanges this time - but not crazy due to the low numbers
we "normally" have. It is mainly due to the lack of new specification and
stability of what we provide. A small attention point can be on microprofile
stack we support since it tends to be less and less embraced by users and
starts to be more vendor oriented so we will need to check if we keep it or
not if it continues (but no urgence yet, just an attention point).

Attachment AA: Report from the Apache Griffin Project [William Guo]

Attachment AB: Report from the Apache Gump Project [Stefan Bodewig]
## Description:
Apache Gump is a cross-project continuous integration server. Gump's intention
isn't so much to be a CI server but rather a vehicle that makes people look
beyond their project's boundaries and helps the projects to collaborate.
Gump is written in Python and supports several build tools and version control
systems. The Apache installation of Gump builds ASF as well as non-ASF
projects and their dependencies. It started in the Java part of the foundation
but also builds projects like APR, HTTPd and OpenSSL.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Gump was founded 2004-02-18 (17 years ago)
There are currently 16 committers and 10 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 8:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Mark Thomas on 2014-12-03.
- No new committers. Last addition was Konstantin Kolinko on 2015-02-11.
## Project Activity:
The Tomcat community is the only one still using Gump actively and the only
activity in Gump is around keeping the infrastructure alive and tweaking
things for the benefit of Tomcat builds.
We will certainly support any other project that wants to get the benefit of
the early warning system for backwards incompatible changes Gump provides, but
we are not actively recruiting projects.
We still need to update a bit of information at gump.apache.org to reflect
changes in the infrastructure.
### Releases
Gump has never done any releases. One reason for this is that the ASF
installations of Gump work on the latest code base almost all of the time
following its "integrate everything continuously" philosophy.
## Community Health:
There isn't much happening but help is there when anybody needs it.

## Project Activity:
Project made a maintenance release on Hive 2 line with 2.3.9 release on June
10th.
## Community Health:
Dev activity on jira and github is relatively flat (only slightly down) which
illustrates sustained dev activity on the project. Other activity metrics for
project has gone down with reduced email volume on dev and user lists. It is
likely because of increasing maturity of project and is not considered a cause
of concern at this time.

- No new committers. Last addition was Jörg Rade on 2020-03-23.
## Project Activity:
There continues to be substantial development work on v2.0, with the
framework being "re-platformed" to run on top of Spring Boot.
There have been no new releases in the last quarter, though the next
milestone (2.0.0-M6) is imminent with 185 issues resolved/closed.
The main effort has been to stabilize for production (several project teams are
using the milestones for production already). Notable new features including
upgrading to Bootstrap 4, improving the security submodule and adding
"impersonation" support, extending the JPA integration (auditing),
and allowing all built-in services to be overridden by apps using
Spring Boot's @Priority annotation.
Realistically v2.0 may not be out until the end of the year, by which time
Java 17 will be LTS. We may therefore drop support for Java 8 and
standardize on Java 11. This is still being discussed.
## Community Health:
This is a mature project. The framework is generally stable. While there is
little activity on the mailing lists, there is daily frequent activity on
the Slack channel.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Aaron Coburn on 2019-01-22.
- No new committers. Last addition was Greg Albiston on 2019-07-08.
## Project Activity:
The project dealt with CVE-2021-33192. The project released 4.1.0 slightly
earlier than the usual cycle bu this was timely for both addressing the CVE
issue, where there isn't a simple works around in all cases, and also
tiding-up after the 4.0.0 release. 4.0.0 had some low level changes that were
not completely transparent to user applications.
The move to requiring Java11 has been smooth.
## Community Health:
Activity on mailing list and PRs have been quieter. There is no obvious specific
reason for this. Given the major version change reported last report, "quiet" is
probably a good thing with a slight reduction in open JIRA tickets.

## Community Health:
Metrics show some more activity on the project but overall it is a normal
activity for us which means it is not crazy high but makes the project moving
forward until we probably get more activity if there is a new version of the
specification we implement.

## Project Activity:
Quiet quarter, the only activity was regarding switching JSPWiki logging
framework from Log4J to Log4J2 (JSPWIKI-795), and a few dependency updates.
The work being done at JSPWIKI-795 was the last step towards 2.11.0, which
should be released next quarter if all goes well.
## Community Health:
Mostly silence as well, with a few questions (answered) on MLs. Most of the
mail activity belongs to dependabot requesting updates for aws-kendra, a
library that releases semver-patches almost daily. This updates have been
silenced on dependabot so MLs shouldn't be take over by it anymore...

Java project management and comprehension tools
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
There is however one request and I guess this is the best place to mention it:
It is hard to keep the Maven PMC involved in the content of this report.
My request is to automatically send the drafts and reports to private@, so
they have the chance to give feedback, instead of my trying to enforce it.
In the end it should be the PMC story, not just my interpretation.

## Community Health:
The @ASFMavenProject Twitter handle is now verified!
About 3 months after the release of Maven 3.8.1, we hardly get any issues that
are related to the changes related to the vulnerabilities. It is always hard
to draw conclusions, either nobody has upgraded or the upgrade went fine or one
just don't share their issues.
Currently we're preparing a Maven 4.0.0-alpha-1 and a Maven 3.8.2 (with fixes
and non-invasive Maven 4 backports).
Snyk has published their annual Jvm Ecosystem Report at
https://snyk.io/jvm-ecosystem-report-2021/ .
"Maven is still the number one build system for the Java ecosystem. With more
than 76% of developers using Maven, it is even higher than in last year’s
survey."
INFRA has informed us about providing a new Controller for Jenkins
(https://ci-maven.apache.org). So far we are able to log in, but it is hard
to predict the impact. Arnaud Héritier is willing to help on behalf of Maven.

## Description:
Apache Nutch is a highly extensible and scalable open source web crawler
software project based on Apache Hadoop® data structures and the MapReduce
data processing framework.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Nutch was founded 2010-04-21 (11 years ago) There are currently 21
committers and 21 PMC members in this project.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new committers and PMC members. Last addition was Shashanka Balakuntala
Srinivasa on 2020-08-01.
## Project Activity:
Work on Nutch 1.19 is ongoing.
The Nutch Docker image was upgraded to be based on Java 11 together with
a significant reduction of the Docker image size. We voted to accept the
donation of the Nutch-Helm project which enables the deployment of Nutch
containers on Kubernetes. The project was written by Lewis John McGibbney
(also a committer/PMC of Nutch) and shall continue as a separate code base
under the hood of the Nutch project.
The Nutch PMC recently participated in the University of Southern
California Computer Science Senior Capstone Program which delivered
Fireant; a Dependabot-like service (tailored to Apache Ant + Ivy projects)
which creates pull requests to keep your dependencies secure and
up-to-date. More info can be found at https://github.com/fireant-bot/fireant.
We will most likely engage in an IP CLEARANCE process to donate Fireant to
either the Nutch or Ant PMC's in due course.
The Nutch PMC will participate in the Oregon State University Computer
Science Senior Capstone Program with a 9-month project which will primarily
focus on reimplementing the legacy Nutch build system (Ant + Ivy) with
either Maven or Gradle.
The migration away from the Apache CMS is still pending and has not
made any progress during the last 3 months.
## Community Health:
Traffic on mailing lists, issue reports and code contributions are on

Attachment BC: Report from the Apache OpenOffice Project [Carl B. Marcum]
## DESCRIPTION
Apache OpenOffice is an open-source office-document productivity suite. There
are six productivity applications based around the OpenDocument Format (ODF)
that are Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, Base. With limited support for
other file formats, OpenOffice ships for Windows, macOS, Linux 64-bit, Linux
32-bit and in 41 languages.
### History
2020-10-24 - 300 million downloads of Apache OpenOffice (binary installation
files)
2020-10-14 - 20 year anniversary of OpenOffice
2016-10-18 - 200 million downloads of Apache OpenOffice (binary installation
files)
2014-04-17 - 100 million downloads of Apache OpenOffice (binary installation
files)
2012-10-17 - Apache OpenOffice was established as Top Level Project (TLP)
2011-06-13 - OpenOffice.org was accepted as Incubator project in the ASF
with the new name Apache OpenOffice
## SUMMARY
Latest Release (4.1.10) was in May 2021. The community activity in general
is on a low but sustainable level. A major obstacle is the complex code and
build system. Therefore it is not easy for new people to gain a foothold into
the code when the first build is hard to be done. There is recent activity to
update the building guides to make it easier to get builds working.
## ISSUES FOR BOARD AWARENESS
No issues
## RELEASES
We are working in parallel on 2 release lines:
1) 4.2.0 is the next minor release, planned to be released into a beta phase.
We have missed our goal on going into the beta in 2019. We managed only to
solve the biggest blockers. Currently a new dev test version is released
to be more widely tested. An alpha and/or beta release is planned
for the next quarter.
For that release we are improving the translation process. We are now able to
sync our translation server Pootle with the code.
Together with ASF Infra we were able to set up a new (updated) translate VM.
At the moment we support 65 languages in Pootle. We plan to add some new
languages to the 4.2.0 release.
2) We are planning a maintenance release 4.1.11 targeted for late August.
The motivation in still maintaining the 4.1.x release line is not very high.
Therefore we will shut it down as soon as we have a stable release of 4.2.x.
## LATEST RELEASE HISTORY
2021-05-04 4.1.10
2021-02-07 4.1.9
2020-11-10 4.1.8
2019-09-21 4.1.7
## COMMITTER & PMC DATA
There are currently 142 committers and 28 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- 1 new PMC member has been accepted, we welcome Pedro Lino (plino).
Last PMC member addition was on 2021-Apr-18 Pedro Lino (plino).
Last PMC member withdrawal was on 2019-Sep-24 Roberto Galoppini (galoppini).
- 1 committer has withdrawn, Jan Høydahl (janhoy).
Last committer addition was on 2020-Dec-24 Arrigo Marchiori (ardovm).
Last committer withdrawal was on 2021-May-25 Jan Høydahl (janhoy).
## COMMUNITY HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Community overall health is improving. With Arrigo Marchiori a new developer on
the code has been accepted by the community.
With the migration of the websites complete we now have an updated mobile
device friendly theme for our project website.
We have updated our automated testing framework and are also adding new tests.
We have completed a project Mission Statement draft and will discuss the next
steps to review it with the larger community.
## INFRASTRUCTURE
Our Windows and Linux build bots are functional again. Work still needs to be
done on the RAT builds.
We are working on a Mac build bot in order to enhance our changes. The machine
is sponsored by MacStadium.
We are planning a new migration of our MWiki wiki.oo.o to a new VM.
### Google Analytics
Apache OpenOffice no longer uses Google Analytics on openoffice.org and
is planning to remove it from our other websites.
## MARKETING
Due to corona all live action marketing has been currently postponed.
We have reorganized the flyer activity. Currently we are preparing material for
the next year.
### Facebook
We have one Volunteer representing Apache OpenOffice on Facebook. The activity
is irregular. Most engagement is helping users with issues. Articles reach
about 2.2K People.
### Twitter
Our Twitter account is maintained by one person.
## DEVELOPMENT
### Apple Code Signing
We have done one signed test build and the AOO 4.1.8 macOS DMG images are
also signed. However since Apple has changed the standards, users may still
see a Gatekeeper warning (this is due to the AOO 4.1.x builds requiring an
older SDK). Signing is done manually but via scripting and follows Apple's
preferred process:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution/customizing_the_notarization_workflow
### Windows Code Signing
We sign all Windows installer beginning with the 4.1.8 release.
There is some discussion to switch from the current Installer to a MSI
installer. But there are technical hurdles to be solved.
Windows code signing is currently a manual process.
### Unmaintained Python 2 code
Python 2 is unmaintained. We have in the development tree the external python3
support. Internal python 3 support is difficult. We are checking alternatives.
Planned for the next major release.
### New ODF Version
Our default file format, the Open Document Format, has received a new Standard
update. We plan to support this format.

mailing lists
- there are a lot of refactorings, improvements and bugfixes
- we are working on the second alpha version of the upcoming new major release
3.0.0
- we decided to retire the subproject Preflight with 4.0.0 as it is
practically not maintained and the supported features are limited. VeraPDF
is one good alternative. It has more to offer and is open source. And by the
way it is based on a PDFBox fork.

Attachment BT: Report from the Apache Struts Project [René Gielen]
The Apache Struts MVC framework is a solution stack for creating elegant and
modern action-based Java web applications. It favours convention over
configuration, is extensible using a plugin architecture, and ships with
plugins to support patterns and technologies such as REST, AJAX and JSON.
The Struts team made no releases in the last quarter.
The last Struts releases were
* Struts 2.5.26 - Bug fix release (2020-12-06)
* Struts Master 14 - Apply Apache Parent POM and plugin upgrades (2020-02-05)
* Struts Annotations 1.0.7 - Enhancements in preparation for the next
framework release (2020-02-23)
Within the last quarter we saw rather vivid development activity. While the
number of active pull requests with 34 opened and 32 closed in the main
project was less compared to the last quarter, the amount of effective code
changes was rather high.
Most notably, the effort to restrict the impact of injected untrusted and
unvalidated user input regarding double evaluation attacks to an absolute
minimum lead to massive code changes. All internal EL usages were reviewed in
order to restrict them to the minimum required to keep up guaranteed framework
functionality, along with further optimisations [1][2].
In addition, the Struts Examples project received notable overhaul [3].
The team is in preparation for the first release in the new 2.6 mainline,
which we hope to see any time soon.
Mailing list traffic slightly decreased in the last quarter.
We released no security bulletins in the last quarter.
The last published security bulletin was:
* S2-061 - Forced OGNL evaluation, when evaluated on raw user input in tag
attributes, may lead to remote code execution - similar to S2-059.
(CVE-2020-17530)
We have no issues that require board assistance at this time.

(based on CMAKE), while we are doing some tests regarding some HTTP methods.
Regarding new releases, a new release is planned for the end of summer
(probably in September).
## Community Health:
The traffic of the mailing lists has remained at similar levels to the
previous reporting period, which is normal for the project (as most traffic in
the list happens after new releases). Regarding development we are assessing
Rivet with respect to the recently Tcl/Tk releases (Tcl/Tk 8.7a5, 18 June
2012, and Tcl 9.0a3, June 23 2021).

Attachment BY: Report from the Apache Tika Project [Tim Allison]
## Description:
Apache Tika is a dynamic toolkit for content detection, analysis, and
extraction. It allows a user to understand, and leverage information from, a
growing a list over 1200 different file types including most of the major
types in existence (MS Office, Adobe, Text, Images, Video, Code, and science
data) as recognized by IANA and other standards bodies.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.

## Project Activity:
We released 2.0.0-BETA on 2021-05-25. This includes the new pipes module
which improves robustness, scalability and ease of integration at scale. We
look forward to release a stable 2.0.0 in the next quarter.
In Tika 2.x, we're also ending the reliance on two custom forks we had to
create for security and backwards compatibility reasons. That we're once
more relying on external, maintained dependencies for these capabilities
is an important step forward.
We released 1.27 on 2021-07-06. This includes numerous bug fixes and
dependency updates.
## Community Health:
The project continues to have strong community health (8.37 Chi score).
Activity on mailing lists, commits and pull requests was slightly down over
the last quarter. However, the number of JIRA issues opened and closed both
increased.

Attachment BZ: Report from the Apache TinkerPop Project [Stephen Mallette]
## Description:
Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases
(OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP).
## Activity:
TinkerPop released 3.4.11/3.5.0 on May 3, 2021. Version 3.4.11 was another
maintenance release along that line and 3.5.0 represented a major release
with some breaking changes, runtime/dependency version upgrades and an
assortment of new features[1]. Graph Providers have already started
upgrading their graph systems to support this new version and we look
forward to seeing it gain further adoption as the new primary release line.
We are currently in the midst of releasing 3.4.12 and 3.5.1 and have opened
development for 3.6.0. It is likely that we will end releases along 3.4.x
this year.
The PMC received a security vulnerability report[2] and after some
discussion determined that a CVE was not necessary for the problem. We did
however identify two action items related to this issue: (1) modify our
documentation to clarify some areas that may have been misinterpreted for
how certain examples should be used in production environments and (2)
opened a specific issue in JIRA[3] to track an upcoming change that will
offer a better option for users to consider when it comes to securing their
remote Gremlin execution.
We have welcomed two new PMC members this quarter in Kelvin Lawrence and
Joshua Shinavier.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Releases:
- 3.4.11 (May 3, 2021)
- 3.5.0 (May 3, 2021)

also continuing to hold monthly ATS meetings.
We continue to have an increase in GitHub PR (19%) and issue (87%) close rate.
This is primarily do to weekly PR and issue scrub.

Attachment CC: Report from the Apache Web Services Project [Daniel Kulp]
## Description:
Apache Web Services is a collection of shared technologies related to SOAP/XML
based Web Services that can be shared by different implementations. Spring-WS,
Axis2, CXF, and others use parts of the technology created within Apache Web
Services.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Web Services was founded 2003-01-22 (18 years ago)
There are currently 223 committers and 43 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Robert Lazarski was added to the PMC on 2021-06-14
- No new committers. Last addition was Alessio Soldano on 2014-09-14.
## Project Activity:
WebServices is a mature project based on standards that are also quite mature.
As such, there is not a significant amount of activity required. However, user
questions are being answered promptly, bugs are being fixed, and there are at
least 3 independent PMC members around making sure the project can continue to
produce releases as needed. Since SOAP/XML based Web Services is no longer
considered state of the art, we don't expect a major uptick in new development
efforts, new committers, etc...
The bulk of the work this quarter was preparing Axiom 1.3.0 for release
as requested by the Apache Axis project. We added Robert Lazarski
to the PMC so he could fully drive the Axiom release and coordinate
with the Axis project.
Past Releases:
Axiom-1.3.0: 2021-07-09
WSS4J-2.3.1: 2020-12-15
WSS4J-2.2.6: 2020-12-15
XmlSchema-2.2.5: 2020-01
Neethi-3.1.1: 2018-01
Woden-1.0M10: 2015-09
## Community Health:
As mentioned, SOAP/WebServices is not considered state-of-the-art anymore and
we are getting very little contribution from anyone other than the 2 or 3
regulars" that are driving features and changes needed for CXF (which is
being driven by their employers). Thus, we are not seeing any possibilities
for future new committers or PMC members. However, there are plenty of
people around that can do releases and answer questions and respond to
security issues. It's a mature project.
