4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]
December has been a challenging month in terms of getting to my action
items and to prepare for this month's meeting due to myself and family
members having caught year end bugs.
Reporting reminders went out late for the December meeting. That in
combination with end of year leaves us with a good number of reports
missing this month. No reason for concern as the majority has
reported last quarter.
We have an exceptionally large number of resolutions to establish new
projects this month, six in total. This is as many projects as we
have retired the entire year.
I'd like to thank everyone for their contributions and efforts in
2022. I'm looking forward to making 2023 another great year for the
Foundation together.
B. President [David Nalley]
As we're drawing to the end of the year I find myself looking back in
awe at the accomplishments of the Foundation, and thankful for the
amazing work done by volunteers and staff. This also has me looking
forward at 2023. This is the traditional point where I've start
working on the next fiscal years budget. This year, particularly
following a lot of conversations at ApacheCon and with various members
over the course of the year, I am trying to form opinions on what we
should be doing going forward over the next several years. Expect a
proposal or two to pop up in the not too distant future.
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 8.
C. Treasurer [Craig R. McClanahan]
Continued follow-up on dealing with requirements on vendor payable
portals for our donors. Requirements continue to be changing, but our
objectives remain the same:
* At least two Treasury folks have *individual* access to vendor
portals.
* As needed, our accounting firm (IgniteSpot) has *individual* access
to each vendor portal to submit invoices, but not to change
corporate details such as our bank account.
These requirements are a recognition that individual accountability is
important (especially as transitions to new individuals eventually
happens), plus that things like two-factor authentication are
inevitably tied to individuals. (Does anyone here know who a TFA text
to an account ending in “1234” actually goes to?).
Many vendor portals make it possible to do this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, not all of them. Dealing with each individual case is
an ongoing challenge.
D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]
In November, the secretary received 76 ICLAs, one CCLA, and two
software grants.
Secretary has been working with Infra to define a policy around how to
handle multi-factor authentication resets. The pilot MFA program has
been halted pending a more thorough policy and implementation.

8. Discussion Items
A. Invite committers to a research survey on our Incubator?
A research group who's been studying our Incubator [2] asks if we could relay
an invitation to our community members to participate in a survey related to
their research.
I have suggested that we might include their invitation in this month's Board
meeting summary email, with the below text. Would the Board agree to that?
** Suggested text for our Board meeting summary email **
A research group who's been studying our Incubator is inviting community
members who have contributed to an Incubator project to take a survey [1] to
help their research. They're especially interested in people who have
participated in retired projects, and more information about their research
can be found at [2].

Status: BookKeeper reported as per attachment K.
* Sander: follow up about committer count versus contributor count
[ Kafka 2022-11-16 ]
Status: (rbowen) Not my action item, but there has been a productive
discussion on private@kafka that has resulted in 1) several
committer/pmc member votes, and 2) discussion of lowering the
bar to entry on committer. I think there's still some
confusion as to who is allowed to nominate a committer - that
is, non-chair PMC members seem reluctant to nominate a
committer, and this results in the status quo. Follow-up here
might be some guidance to PMCs on being proactive, rather than
waiting for Someone Else to do things. PMC members on many
projects have, for example, reacted with surprise, over the
years, when I have encouraged them to nominate other PMC
members for ASF Membership, as they didn't seem to realize
they could do that.

Attachment 2: Report from the VP of Fundraising [Bob Paulin]
Highlights during November 2022 --
1) ASF Sponsors:
a --New: we welcomed one new Gold Sponsor during this timeframe.
b --Renewals: we received renewal confirmations from two Platinum, two Gold,
and one Silver Sponsor. Two renewing Sponsors are downgrading their
sponsorship levels for the 2023 sponsorship year: one Platinum Sponsor will be
renewing at the Gold level, and a Gold Sponsor will be renewing at the Silver
level.
c --Payments: 1 --New: we received payment from one new Gold Sponsor 1a
--Incoming: we await payment from one Platinum, one Gold, and one Bronze
Sponsor. We also await purchase orders to formally invoice one new Silver
Sponsor. 2 --Renewing: we received payment from two renewing Platinum and
one Silver Sponsor 2a --Incoming: we await payment from one Platinum, five
Gold, two Silver, and one Bronze Sponsor. We await purchase orders to
formally invoice one Platinum and six Gold Sponsors.
2) Targeted Sponsors: a Platinum Targeted Sponsor is wishing us to meet with
their new CEO to highlight the benefits of their Targeted Sponsorship,
coinciding with their upcoming renewal for the 2023 Sponsorship year.
3) Sponsor Relations: we sent an “approaching the end of year” outreach email
to all Sponsors, with select highlights on the ASF’s achievements, made
possible through their financial support. Those Sponsors who responded were
very appreciative; some had requested additional data, which we’ve been able
to provide where possible. We will forward the FY2022 Annual Report when
available. In addition to day-to-day outreach, we continue to work with the
Treasurer and Accounting to resolve issues with a Silver Sponsor’s invoicing
and payment processing. We met with two Sponsors who are considering upgrading
their Sponsorship levels. We are also trying to work around ongoing issues
with blocked emails with a small handful of Sponsors in China.
4) Event Sponsorship: no new events are taking place. A few ApacheCon NA
sponsorship payments are still outstanding.
5) Individual Donations and Corporate Giving: we received $3.58K in individual
and one-time corporate donations during November. November kicked off our
end-of-year giving season, which included Giving Tuesday promotions with
Marketing & Publicity.
6) Administrivia: after many months, we were finally able to invoice and
onboard the vendor payment platform of a Platinum Sponsor. We have an
outstanding similar issue with a Silver sponsor, and are working with
Treasurer and Accounting teams to resolve.

Attachment 3: Report from the VP of Marketing and Publicity [Joe Brockmeier]
General
=======
Business as usual, no current issues requiring board attention at this time.
Highlights
==========
- Continued working with Comdev on "First Contribution" campaign.
- Log4Shell Anniversary
- NuttX graduation release
Log4Shell Anniversary
=====================
Fielded a number of inquiries around Log4Shell around the anniversary.
Provided statement and updates from Mark Cox to reporters.
NuttX graduation release
========================
The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache® NuttX™ as a Top-Level Project
https://s.apache.org/nuttx-2022
Social Media Note
=================
As I'm sure the board is aware, there's been discussion around continued use
of Twitter and its stability as a service.
Currently we're continuing to publish on Twitter because it is where a
substantial percentage of the audience is and expects to see new information
from the foundation. We have stood down posting during a few periods in the
past two months (in particular during U.S. elections) to avoid appearing tone
deaf and because any ASF social would have had lower engagement anyway.
Some discussions have cropped up around Mastodon, both around using and
standing up our own instance.
- Currently we have not started publishing on Mastodon in any fashion as the
foundation.
- We do need to be aware of the possibility of, and watch for, other entities
claiming to be the ASF on Mastodon instances.
- We don't have any plans at this time to request an "official" Mastodon
instance, though we'd support the creation of such *only for officers, TLPs,
and other official accounts and not individuals*.
Hard to say what might develop in the next month. We'll keep watching and act
accordingly.
-----------------------------------------
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
==========
- Infra ran its first "Roundtable" Slack-based meeting for users to
hear from, and interact with, the Team. We intend to continue these
going forward, monthly. Some good feedback on this initial meeting
has been taken, to smooth them out going forward. Attendance was not
what we hoped, and we hope that continuance and knowledge of the
roundtable will see more people in the meetup.
Short Term Priorities
=====================
- idm.a.o to replace id.a.o
- New SVN server
- LDAP ACL rollout
Long Range Priorities
=====================
- Artifact Distribution Platform
General Activity
================
- Finalized the move of the infra blog to use Pelican. Next is docco
and support for projects to use options for their blog via
.asf.yaml. Goal is to provide PMCs with multiple blog options, for
whatever works best for their community. Working OFBiz to shift
their blog, for more experience and tool improvement. Some work to
provide Hugo-based blogs has begun.
- Agenda Tool has made very good progress on parsing agenda files and
presening them through a webui. This has also been connected via
websockets for dynamic updating as new commits arrive.
- The Gradle Enterprise installation continues to proceed. An initial
test where we figured "should be easy" .. was not. Some builds use
Apache RAT to seek out files without an ALv2 notice, and Gradle
dropped such a file into their .mvn directory. A Pull Request has
been created for RAT to ignore .mvn, and until if/when that is
accepted, then the Gradle/Maven plugin will instruct RAT manually to
ignore that directory. Further testing will proceed.
- Work on/off to upgrade Confluence. We had a temporary problem with
the many plugins showing a cost, rather than complementary, for Open
Source Confluence installations.
- Met with Atlassian about moving to their Cloud-based products
instead of our current on-premise instllations. We now have a shared
Slack channel and are making good progress, but it is going to take
quite a while. The Foundation is the largest F/OSS on-premise
install by a very large margin, which is creating some new porting
problems.
- A solution to limit spam Jira accounts was rolled out, but has met
with a lot of pushback. The Infra team might just roll this back,
and find other ways to deal with the spam accounts.
- New backup server is fully operational.
- Many more Windows build nodes have been spun up. Tooling has
improved the setup and operation of these nodes.
- Starting a bit of work on rebuilding our selfserve platform using
newer technology (async/Quart/asfpy).
- Continuing testing/review of "keycloak" as a future IDP.
- LDAP ACLs will be applied in early January, after much review and
testing based on feedback from an initial push.
- Some experiments with Ansible for configuration management have
begun. Initially, working on assembly of an "inventory" that Ansible
can consume, along with a playbook for periodic reboots of
servers. Our Jenkins build nodes are now using a script to perform
these reboots (intended to pick up needed [kernel] security
patches). We have started a goal for quarterly reboots of all boxes.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Conferences [Rich Bowen]
Nothing to report this month.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 6: Report from the Apache Travel Assistance Committee [Gavin McDonald]
Current Events
==============
None
Post ACNA22 event Surveys are complete, looks like we will not be receiving
any more, but will push out one last reminder before publishing the stories we
have.
Travel Policy
==========
Submitted Policy awaiting approval by President and/or EVP
TAC Sub Domain
==============
This has been implemented. we now have changed our primary email to
private@tac.apache.org (from travel-assistance@apache.org)
With this new domain, we look forward to creating our own website at
tac.apache.org.
TAC App
=======
TAC app is closed. We still need to submit our suggestions for improvements.
Future Events
=============
Fosdem has been confirmed as in person for the 4th/5th February. TAC will
support this event and will open up applications soon.
Short/Medium Term Priorities
=====================
Still keeping an eye out for other smaller events to support. We are keen to
hear about projects events.
Mailing List Activity
=====================
No email activity this month.
Membership
==========
No changes to the membership this month

Attachment 7: Report from the VP of Diversity and Inclusion [Katia Rojas]
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 8: Report from the VP of Data Privacy [Christian Grobmeier]
There is a proposed privacy resolution on the agenda.
We were receiving many requests for data deletion from a tool called "Mine". I have decided to ignore those requests
as they are unjustified in most cases and automatically sent.
From a privacy perspective, I am also very happy to see the Infrastructure team supporting our efforts greatly
by proactively working on better privacy for LDAP and taking over control of the Matomo (Web Analytics) instance. The latter one will not only lead to more professionally cared services but also help to handle additional load which we might have from applying the privacy policy to our websites.
There is minor activity around a new DPA with Scarf and working on further policies.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 9: Report from the VP of W3C Relations [Andy Seaborne]
The Foundation as 3 participants in active working groups (which create W3C
standards) and 14 in community groups (which range from discussion forums to
groups aiming to seed a working group).
-----------------------------------------
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. After resolving a handful of LEGAL issues, we are flat at
19 outstanding issues compared to last month.
Not being able to reach DLAPiper folks for a few months is becoming a bit of a
problem. I may need to start looking more aggressively for how to re-connect
with our contacts there. This also means that the process of finalizing the
draft of the updated bylaws seems to be on hold for now.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 11: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark J. Cox]
We have a higher number of open issues than usual and this is due to
high numbers of incoming queries. This is often bursty (and seasonal)
so is no concern, and we will continue to monitor it for trending.
Otherwise, continued work on incoming security issues, keeping
projects reminded of outstanding issues, and general oversight and
advice.

Rampart was last released in 2017.
No active Axis committers appear to be using Rampart in their own projects
so not much was happening. However, the community has been asking for
a release that addresses dependency updates and one individual made a large
patch contribution.
See RAMPART-449 for the full discussion.
The Axis2 Java git source repo has seen numerous commits this past quarter to
support the development snapshot of Apache Axiom 2.0 - several Axis

Attachment I: Report from the Apache Bigtop Project [Yuqi Gu]
## Description:
Bigtop is a project for the development of packaging and tests of the Apache
Hadoop ecosystem. The primary goal of Bigtop is to build a community around the
packaging and interoperability testing of Hadoop-related projects. This
includes testing at various levels (packaging, platform, runtime, upgrade,
etc...) developed by a community with a focus on the system as a whole, rather
than individual projects. In short we strive to be for Hadoop what Debian is to
Linux.

issue tracking, wiki and repository browsing
Issues
======
There are no issues to raise to the Board at this time.
Releases
========

Attachment K: Report from the Apache BookKeeper Project [Sijie Guo]
## Description:
The mission of BookKeeper is the creation and maintenance of software related
to Replicated log service which can be used to build replicated state machines
## Issues:
The community is pretty healthy currently, new features and bugfixes are
coming both from committers and new contributors and we recently added some
committers.
One issue is that we missed to send the report to the Board a couple of times,
and also sometimes it takes much time to have 3 binding VOTEs on release
candidetes. Maybe it is time to add new members to the PMC or to revive the
PMC.
A CVE has been found (https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-32531)
and it took much time before we could address it,
## Membership Data:
Apache BookKeeper was founded 2014-11-19 (8 years ago)
There are currently 30 committers and 17 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Andrey Yegorov on 2022-03-18.

## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
4.15.3 was released on 2022-11.
4.14.5 was released on 2022-05.
## Community Health:
Discussions happen on the dev@ mailing list and on GH issues.
There is low traffic on the user@ mailing list probably
because BookKeeper is very low level and most of the times
people who reach out to the community start directly from the dev@ mailing list.
- dev@bookkeeper.apache.org had a 38% increase
in traffic in the past quarter (104 emails compared to 75)
- issues@bookkeeper.apache.org had a 130% increase
in traffic in the past quarter (1286 emails compared to 558)
- 259 commits in the past quarter (33% increase)
- 47 code contributors in the past quarter (30% increase)
- 159 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (23% increase)

## Project Activity:
The missing release keys issue identified during the last reporting cycle has
been addressed.
## Community Health:
In all honesty the community is quite anemic, with next to no email activity
and no commits beyond the fixes to our KEYS file. There is just not a lot to
do between specification releases.

- Camel Kafka Connector release based on Camel 3.19.0 is on vote these days.
- We are supporting Camel Kafka Connector aligning it to the Camel Core LTS
Releases.
## Community Health:
- dev@camel.apache.org had a 4% increase in traffic in the past quarter (454
emails compared to 436): There is a little increase because we had some
feedback from user migrating from old Camel 3.x to latest LTS 3.18.x. Also
some report when upgrading from older version of 3.18.x to newer.
- issues@camel.apache.org had a 22% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(2125 emails compared to 1734): This is related to some new features we are
adding to the development release of Camel 3 torwards 3.18.x LTS and for
3.19.x and 3.20.0 (soon to be released)
- users@camel.apache.org had a 5% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (315
emails compared to 330): The situation is more or less the same of last
quarter, the 3.14.x and 3.18.x LTS are stable so we are having less
discussions around this.
- 294 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (6% decrease) and 248 issues closed
in JIRA, past quarter (61% decrease): We are in a stabilization phase for
Camel 3.18.x and the LTS are more or less stable. In the last report we were
doing some cleanups of the old JIRAs, by closing or abandoning some of them,
that's the main reason for the decrease.
- 191 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (-9% change) and 146 issues closed
on GitHub, past quarter (-34% change): We are slowing down on issue opened
on camel-kamelets for example and we are looking at backlog. Note: Github
issues are related to all the subprojects different from
Camel/Camel-Karaf/Camel-Spring-Boot. There are some more issues opened on
the Camel K subprojects, since the contributors and users are increasing.
- 3362 commits in the past quarter (1% decrease) and 132 code contributors in
the past quarter (10% increase): More or less we are stable. We have some
new contributors coming from different subprojects and related to some
documentation activities and bug fixes.
- 1087 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (6% decrease) and 1087 PRs closed on
GitHub, past quarter (6% decrease): on some of the subprojects the activity
is slowing down for stabilization reasons, on some other like Camel K and
Camel Quarkus there is so much activity for aligning to new Camel Releases
from LTS Train.

Attachment O: Report from the Apache Cayenne Project [Michael Ray Gentry]
# Apache Cayenne Board Report, December 2022
## Description
Apache Cayenne is a Java database persistence framework. It takes a
distinct approach to object graph persistence and provides an ORM
runtime, remote persistence services, and a cross-platform GUI
database mapping/modeling/development tool.
## Issues
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Membership Data
Apache Cayenne was founded 2006-12-19 (16 years ago).
There are currently 23 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Nikita Timofeev on 2017-06-25.
- No new committers. Last addition was Arseni Bulatski on 2018-12-10.
## Project Activity
Development is focused on Cayenne 4.2, but shifting to 5.0 (unreleased).
Prior versions are maintenance-only. 4.2.RC2 was just released and,
barring blocking issues, will become the 4.2 GA release.
- Cayenne 4.0.x (stable)
- Maintenance only.
- Cayenne 4.1.x (stable)
- Maintenance only.

- Cayenne 4.2.RC2 on 2022-12-06.
## Community Health
Cayenne is healthy.
JIRA, Git, and mailing list activity were all elevated over the last quarter.
Much of this activity was due to the 4.2.RC2 release and shift towards 5.0.
Development mailing list traffic was especially elevated as discussions of
what the next major release of Cayenne should include (and deprecate), now
that 4.2 is being finalized.
Questions on the user mailing list are actively addressed.

Attachment R: Report from the Apache Cordova Project [Jesse MacFadyen]
## Status report for the Apache Cordova project - December 2022
## Description:
- A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.
## Activity
Current work continues to be keeping up with recent changes to iOS and
Android, our most used platforms, and updating plugins.
- We have updated our community plugin search page to make it more manageable
as it was depending on a 3rd party api which was shut down.
- We now have github discussions enabled. *(Thanks INFRA!)*
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Health report:
Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io remain mostly all green -
failures are usually due to external service issues that do device testing.
Our nightly builds are still extremely stable.
ASF Project Statistics gives the project a Community Health Score (Chi): 4.7
Healthy
We continue to see contributions from a small group of dedicated individuals.
Things remain stable and the project continues to see good traffic.
Our primary channel for helping, and hearing from users is via our #slack
community, which has ~4k users and continues to be fairly active. We have
begun transitioning conversations to github discussions.
## Questions from last report
> cd: You say, the primary channel for helping is the cordova slack.
> As there is no #cordova in the ASF slack, I assume it's an
> external one. Is there any form of archive of old questions and
> searchability? Or is this used entirely for support and not for
> discussions about the project itself?
We have our own slack community that is used exclusively to support developers
and allow developers to help eachother. This is a hold-over from the days when
Adobe/PhoneGap were active in the project, Adobe used to pay for #slack bill.
We have since moved to the free-tier which is quite limiting. The PMC has a
private channel but it is really only used for near realtime discussion and
any decisions are taken to the mailing list before being finalized.
Searchability is not great within #slack as is, and in the free tier we can
only search back as far as 10k messages across all channels. In order to keep
historical conversations we have a daily digest service (github action) to
copy all public conversations to a github repo in markdown.
The digest can be found here:
https://github.com/apache/cordova/tree/master/slack-digest
That said, the pmc does realize that the slack funnel is very limiting and we
have enabled **github discussions** This seems to be a better forum for
technical discussions as it happens closer to the code.
Our discussion area is live in the same repo at
https://github.com/apache/cordova/discussions
## Membership Data:
- There are currently 99 committers and 96 PMC members in this project.
- The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.

Our DataSketches Library is referenced several times in the paper.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.15400
Also, one of our committers (and PMC member) Edo Liberty, has recently
contributed a new experimental Python sketch to our library that
can be used for multi-dimensional density estimation, k-means estimation
and other related kernel functions.
This will find interest in the Machine Learning and AI communities.
This sketch is based on his research paper (with Zohar Karnin):
"Discrepancy, Coresets, and Sketches in Machine Learning", 2019,
https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.04845.
## Community Health:
The DataSketches project is healthy. Most of our interactions with

The mission of Flink is the creation and maintenance of software related to
platform for scalable batch and stream data processing
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Flink was founded 2014-12-17 (8 years ago)
There are currently 93 committers and 45 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Danny Cranmer was added to the PMC on 2022-10-07
- Godfrey He was added to the PMC on 2022-12-01
- Xingbo Huang was added to the PMC on 2022-12-01
- Matyas Orhidi was added as committer on 2022-11-17
- Lincoln Lee was invited as a committer on 2022-12-08
The PMC is actively monitoring the community for new committers and PMC members.
## Project Activity:
Main project releases:
- 1.16.0 was released on 2022-10-28
- 1.15.3 was released on 2022-11-25.
Sub project releases:
- connector-aws-4.0.0 was released on 2022-12-09.
- connector-aws-3.0.0 was released on 2022-12-02.
- connector-cassandra-3.0.0 was released on 2022-12-01.
- shaded-16.1 was released on 2022-11-24.
- connector-elasticsearch-3.0.0 was released on 2022-11-09.
- kubernetes-operator-1.2.0 was released on 2022-10-07.
- kubernetes-operator-1.3.0 was released on 2022-12-13.
- shaded-16.0 was released on 2022-10-07.
As you can see from the release activity, we had plenty of releases for
connectors, as the community is in the process of moving connectors
from the main repository into separate repositories, for a number of reasons.
Flink 1.17 is underway, with a scheduled feature freeze in January.
Flink 1.16 was released in late October with major new features, such as a
SQL Gateway, Changelog statebackend, better Hive compatibility and a lot
of performance and usability improvements for batch and stream processing.
The Flink PMC worked with Alibaba to resolve some trademark issues on the
Flink Forward Asia 2022 website, then approved the brand usage.
There is an increased load on the PMC to handle Jira account requests
due to process changes by Infra.
Flink Stateful Functions (a subproject of Flink) is lacking maintainers,
as all of the original authors have different priorities. There are some
new contributors providing some help (support for new versions etc.) and
the original authors are willing to support the transition.
## Community Health:
The activity on the dev@ list seems to stable (2% increase since last quarter),
which is good, as this list is the primary communication channel for developers
The metrics around the code are going down:
- 974 commits in the past quarter (-13% change)
- 127 code contributors in the past quarter (-23% change)
- 713 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-19% change)
- 722 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-16% change)
However, it is likely caused by the fact that only the main repository is
tracked, and not all the sub repositories (kubernetes operator and table store
are quite active repositories)
Overall, the community is healthy.

Attachment AC: Report from the Apache Giraph Project [Dionysios Logothetis]
## Description:
The mission of Giraph is the creation and maintenance of software related to
Iterative graph processing system built for high scalability
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention
## Membership Data:
Apache Giraph was founded 2012-05-15 (11 years ago)
There are currently 20 committers and 13 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:4.

- Last release was in August 2020.
## Community Health:
Meta has been the main contributor over the last few years, however activity
has slowed down over time. The team that contributes to Giraph is considering
its long term strategy around graph processing, and depending on this the
project may pick up or actually slow down further. However, this will be
determined in coming half.

key-value stores, document stores, distributed in-memory key-value stores,
in-memory data grids, in-memory caches, distributed multi-model stores and
hybrid in-memory architectures. Gora also enables analysis of data with
extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce, Apache Spark, Apache Flink, and Apache
Pig support.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache Gora was founded 2012-01-24 (11 years ago)
There are currently 31 committers and 31 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1.

- No new PMC members. Last addition was Lahiru Jayasekara on 2020-04-30.
- No new committers. Last addition was Lahiru Jayasekara on 2020-04-27.
## Project Activity:
- We were able to successfully complete one GSOC project for this year and
main contributions are still under the community review. We will explore
the possibilities of expanding our committer base, once
these contributions are reviewed and merged.
- Except for work carried out related GSoC project, we have not been able
to make significant progress on our next major release,
0.9 was released on 2019-08-15 and it has been quite while since last release.
## Community Health:
- Even though We observed the increased activity level on our mailing
lists for the past quarter, Generally activity level of Github through out
the past quarter is very low. While we assume this was due to holidays
period, we will monitor things and work towards improving activity level
for the next quarter. Next major release is something pending from us for
quite a long time now, hopefully with the help from PMC we could plan to
complete this in next quarter.

Attachment AG: 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 (18 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.
# 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.

to providing atomic upserts and incremental data streams on Big Data
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Hudi was founded 2020-05-19 (3 years ago)

- Alexey Kudinkin was added as committer on 2022-10-05
- Bi Yan was added as committer on 2022-10-05
## Project Activity:
The hudi community also approved the 0.12.1 releases, which is the first
series of patch releases we are starting to maintain. We noticed that many
Hudi users are on older versions, and this effort will help them migrate to a
stable release while picking up newer features in the last 18 months as well.
As we write, the 0.12.2 RC is being voted on.
Towards the next major 0.13 release, community has landed large contributions
like RFC-46, which overhaul the merge APIs for the first time since project
inception. Several other key RFCs have also been proposed on our RFC list.
https://github.com/apache/hudi/tree/master/rfc
## Community Health:
We observed similar levels of engagement from developers and users quarter
over quarter. We had noted in investing efforts towards landing commits/PRs
faster in the last report. We made some good strides there, leading to an
increase in total commits landed i.e cleared some backlog.
We had several hudi related tech talks and events. All of them are getting
cataloged on the site at. https://hudi.apache.org/talks . We also plan on
surfacing Hudi tutorial videos generated by community members to the site.

Attachment AL: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Justin Mclean]
# Incubator PMC report for December 2022
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
There are presently 34 podlings incubating.
Podlings made 6 distinct releases.
This month we were missing reports from Spot, Marvin-AI and Uniffle. There
will be asked to report next month.
Nuttx and StreamPipes graduated last month.
We added a new IPMC member, and none retired.
This month we have a new proposal: KIE, this is an Umbrella Project, that
has 80 projects, although there are only 3 projects after splitting,
but it's still a challenge for the project and the incubator.
therefore, IPMC recommends incubating separately,
but the team is still controversial, let us see how to do it next.
Tuweni and Nemo start a graduation vote, but the Tuweni community faced a
diversity challenge with only one active contributor.
Nemo has been silent for two years,
but it has only become active in the past few months. IPMC is worried about
whether it can remain active after graduation.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
--------------------
## Wayang
Wayang is a cross-platform data processing system that aims at decoupling
the business logic of data analytics applications from concrete data
processing platforms, such as Apache Flink or Apache Spark. Hence, it tames
the complexity that arises from the "Cambrian explosion" of novel data
processing platforms that we currently witness.
Wayang has been incubating since 2020-12-16.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Simplifying and documenting the release process
2. Drive growth and community building
3. Slow contribution rate
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
The trademark team solved the Trademark of “Wayang”.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Slow adaption, but increasing interest and adoption.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Python integration had a delay in development.
### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.
- [x] Initial setup
- [ ] Working towards first release
- [x] Community building
- [ ] Nearing graduation
- [ ] Other:
### Date of last release:
2021-12-13
### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
2022-01-18: Calvin Kirs
### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
Are things falling through the cracks? If so, please list any
open issues that need to be addressed.
Yes, the mentors are helpful. Nevertheless, two of them have prolonged
inactivity.
### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings
name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to
correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name?
The trademark names have been solved.
### Signed-off-by:
- [X] (wayang) Christofer Dutz
Comments: Thing I'm a bit worried of, is that for the last 5-6 months
there
has been no non-trivial (dependabot or typo) commit to the repo. When
asking
on slack, the team tells me they are working hard on something, but not
yet
ready to push it to the ASF repo. I did tell them that code-drops from a
partition of the project is bad community wise, but there hasn't been any
change so far.

## Issues:
There isgrumbling in the community because of the Github Action
runs too slow..
Maybe self-hosted runner can solve the problem
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BUILDS/GitHub+Actions+status)
and we have submit a ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-23712
## Membership Data:
Apache IoTDB was founded 2020-09-16 (2 years ago)
There are currently 54 committers and 27 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1.
Community changes, past quarter:

Attachment AN: Report from the Apache Jackrabbit Project [Marcel Reutegger]
## Description:
The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming
implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ Technology API
(JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content
repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being
maintained.
Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant
hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache
Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the
foundation of modern world-class websites and other demanding
content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not
implement all optional features from the JSR specifications, and it
is not a reference implementation.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache Jackrabbit was founded 2006-03-15 (17 years ago)
There are currently 58 committers and 58 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Joerg Hoh on 2022-07-01.
- No new committers. Last addition was Joerg Hoh on 2022-07-01.
## Project Activity:
Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All
maintenance branches and the main development branch are
continuously seeing moderate to high activity.
Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of
the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly
driven by dependencies from Jackrabbit Oak.
Discussion started to require Java 11 as a minimum version, because
is it getting more difficult to build and run Apache Jackrabbit with
Java 8.
There is an increased interest in updating the Guava dependency.
Unfortunately some Guava classes were used in OSGi packages exported
by Jackrabbit. This means an update of Guava in Jackrabbit becomes
a breaking change and must be done carefully. The plan is also to
hide the Guava dependency from Jackrabbit consumers, so we can more
easily update Guava in the future.
## Community Health:
The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic mostly on
the JIRA issues and GitHub pull requests reflecting the activity of
the respective component.
Commit activity is moderate, mirroring the activity on the
JIRA issues and the desire of the individual contributors to bring
features and improvements in for the next Jackrabbit Oak release.
## Releases:
- jackrabbit-filevault-3.6.4 was released on 2022-09-19
- jackrabbit-2.21.13 was released on 2022-10-16

Attachment AP: Report from the Apache Karaf Project [Jean-Baptiste Onofré]
## Description:
The mission of the Apache Karaf project is the creation and maintenance of
open-source software related to a generic platform providing higher level
features and services specifically designed for creating OSGi-based servers for
distribution at no charge to the public.
## Issues:

4.4.3 and 4.3.9 releases are in preparation (maintenance releases), they
should be on vote soon. Decanter, Cellar and Cave releases are also in
preparation.
## Community Health:
After Karaf 5 became Karaf Minho, we had several discussions with the Karaf
community and clearly people wanted to have Minho not coupled to Karaf as it's
different communities. Furthermore, we have new features in mind (IoC
container, kubernetes packages manager, ...) that are not Karaf specific but
more generic. So we decided to create a new Apache TLP named Apache Sunny
starting from Karaf Minho and adding these new features and building a
dedicated community. The Apache Sunny resolution proposal has been submitted
to the board (for December board meeting).

Attachment AT: Report from the Apache Mnemonic Project [Yanhui Zhao]
## Description:
Apache Mnemonic is an open-source Java library for durable object-oriented
programming on hybrid storage-class memory(e.g. NVM) space. It comes up with
durable object model (DOM) and durable computing model(DCM) and takes full
advantages of storage-class memory to simplify the code complexity, avoid
SerDe/(Un)Marshal, mitigate caching for constructing next generation computing
platforms. Mnemonic makes the storing and transmitting of massive linked
objects graphs simpler and more efficient. The performance tuning could also
be mostly converged to a single point of tuning place if based on Mnemonic to
process and analyze linked objects. The programmer is able to focus on the
durable object oriented business logic instead of worrying about how to
normalize/join, SerDe(un)marshal, cache and store their linked business
objects with arbitrary complexity.
## Issues:
None during this report period
## Membership Data:
Apache Mnemonic was founded 2020-11-30 (2 years ago)
There are currently 21 committers and 14 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Chenyang Li on 2020-11-04.
- No new committers. Last addition was Chunyong on 2021-10-05.
## Project Activity:
We are still in the process of 0.18.0 release that enables the features below
1. Support of a new memory service (memkind)
2. Durable object versioning design and implementation at memory services
native level
3. Enabling rust lang dev env for native memory service development
4. Issue fixes for security vulnerabilities and dev dockers
Edward (Chengyang) Li is driving the release and preparing the release
materials
The community also discusses the possibility of exploring the use case of
storage virtualization, and will collect more information for our planning for
the next year.
## Community Health:
We don't have much activities except for some bug fixes during this report
period, as we are in the process of 0.18 release. However, we do see the
community activities are trending down impacted by both the holiday season,
and economic downturn. The discussion over possible use case of storage
virtualization use case also draws some interests from some committers and we
plan to have a preliminary design on this topic for the next release plan

frameworks.
## Issues:
There are no issues for the board at this time.
## Membership Data:

## Project Activity:
- 16 NetBeans was released on 2022-11-30.
- 15 NetBeans was released on 2022-08-31.
## Community Health:
- A key issue we're facing is low level of PMC participation, we have a large
PMC historically carried over from when we entered the Apache incubator, but
the vast majority are not active, not responsive, and should maybe be moved
to emeritus and we should consider restarting the PMC from scratch with a
small number, maybe just the most actively involved people.
- Before taking the above drastic action, we should consider having periodic
meetings via Zoom because the flood of e-mails and already full inboxes
doesn't help in creating a clear perspective on priorities and doesn't help
in engaging. Of course, all decisions will be brought back to the dev list.
- dev@netbeans.apache.org had a 35% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(650 emails compared to 478)
- users@netbeans.apache.org had a 25% decrease in traffic in the past quarter

Form the currently most active contributors there are not even two working at
the same company, so we are currently not considering any dominant influence
of any single business entity on the project.
## Project Activity:
We finished our work on some of the refactoring and streamlining of our APIs
and are now sort of going back to a normal more of activity. Also are we
seeing a broad set of initiatives currently being worked on:
- Profinet Drivers
- Major update of the ADS driver
- The PLC4Rust and PLC4Py initiatives are continuing
- We're doing some onboarding work for some of the new contributors that
showed up over the last few months.
We did notice that our usage of JavaFX in one of our new tools (only
contained in the 0.10.0 and still in Beta state there) is actually not ok
since JavaFX was removed from the JDK itself. We'll be replacing this with a
technology which is compatible with the ASF rules as soon as possible or we'll
be removing it if there is no short-term solution for this problem.
Recent releases:
- 0.10.0 was released on 2022-10-06
- 0.9.1 was released on 2021-12-17
## Community Health:
Since we switched from Jira to GitHub Issues, we are seeing a significant
uptake on activity coming in from new folks. The project is doing its best to
encourage them to submit pull requests and mentoring them to be able to do so.
At least 3 new contributors have shown up in the last few months.
In parallel, we have started an initiative together with some friends from the
IoTDB project, to do some initial kick-off work for building an open-source
and, hopefully soon Apache-based, Historian solution, which would less be a tool
or framework, but more a product intended for the automation industry. Hoping
on some increased interest and activity based on that.
So far, we're happy how the project is evolving, and we hope to be able to
invite more people into comittership soon.

Attachment BZ: Report from the Apache TomEE Project [David Blevins]
## Description:
Apache TomEE delivers enterprise application containers and services based
on, but not limited to the Enterprise JavaBeans Specification and Java
Enterprise Edition Specifications.
## Health
Contributions from non-committers over the last quarter have largely been in
the areas of upgrading libraries and minor tweaks to some specific
documentation pages. The challenge with library upgrade contributions is they
are often untested and introduce regressions that do not get addressed in the
PR. Hopefully, we can better mentor new contributors to more completely help
and be trusted with commit.
Some of this challenge is created by the fact that PRs from non-contributors
do not get built in the Apache Jenkins install due to strict security policy.
While this policy makes sense and should remain, it would be very useful to
have the ability to "green light" known contributors, perhaps by adding them
to our project's .asf.yaml file.
There have been two PRs from non-committers that did involve getting a TCK
test to pass, which is extremely rare and a very promising development.
## Activity
Work towards TomEE 9 final is going very well and there are good chances a
vote could go up in the next few days. All remaining MicroProfile 5.0 TCK
compliance failures reported last cycle were fixed. As of this weekend,
results for the Jakarta EE 9.1 Web Profile TCK are 32743 passing and 2
failing. The remaining two failures are in the websocket section of the TCK
and are known to be somewhat flakey as they test timeouts. Once the remaining
2 failures are fixed, we are clear to release TomEE 9.0 final.
The community is very excited to move on to TomEE 10 which will target Jakarta
EE 10 and MicroProfle 6.0. There is also a long backlog of changes to the
server that we've been delaying for the next major version, such as redoing
how the server is built, eliminating drop-in war files and more that we've
been discussing and are anxious to start.
As Jakarta EE 10 is the first release to have major new features since Java EE
8 and most Apache implementations still use the javax namespace there will be
a major effort to migrate all their source to the jakarta namespace. Most use
bytecode transformation tools to support the jakarta namespace, which will no
longer work as the javax and jakarta APIs have finally diverged due to new
features only in the jakarta.* APIs. Some projects have been stronly
resistant to migrating sources to the jakarta namespace, so there may be some
challenges. So far Tomcat, TomEE, MyFaces and CXF have done the jakarta
source code change. CXF, however, is not targeting Jakarta EE 10 in their
next major version 4.0, so there will be some need to help them get that
release finished so EE 10 work can start. OpenWebBeans, Johnzon, BVal,
OpenJPA, BatchEE and ActiveMQ are all still on javax and use bytecode
transformation. OpenWebBeans, Johnzon, OpenJPA and ActiveMQ Classic would all
need to be migrated to jakarta in source as their related specifications do
have new features.

We've had quite a few releases since the last board report. Our version 2,
which was many years in the making is finally out and we have already
released an update of it. At the same time, we have updated version 1 as well
to make it easy for existing users to get the latest improvements and bug
fixes. We have also greatly improved the release process and documentation to
make it easier and faster to perform releases. We, therefore, expect to have
more regular updates and shorter time between them. Here's the list of recent

The community is healthy, and it hasn't shown any major changes in size
recently but we suspect that it is larger than what the mailing list reflects.
There are still 158 users in the Unomi slack channel! Regular contributions

version for branch 8.x has been released. Version 9.12.0 contains some nice
improvements made by external contributors on GitHub.
Speaking about the next main release (version 10), during the last quarter
Spring 6 has been release and we have integrated it into Wicket 10 branch.
The release of Spring 6 was a blocking step toward Wicket 10 so now we can
focus on a possible timeline for its release.

Community is stable and healthy, we still receive a good number of contributions
coming outside the ASF via GitHub. There is an increasing interest in a next
major release supporting Jakarta EE APIs and the new "wave" of frameworks
releases (like Spring 6) based on Jakarta EE and having the last LTS
(Java 17) as minimum required version.

Attachment CG: Report from the Apache Xalan Project [Gary D. Gregory]
## Description:
Apache Xalan exists to promote the use of XSLT. We view XSLT (Extensible
Stylesheet Language Transformations) as a compelling paradigm that transforms
XML documents, thereby facilitating the exchange, transformation, and
presentation of knowledge. The ability to transform XML documents into usable
information has great potential to improve the functionality and use of
information systems. We intend to build freely available XSLT processing
components in order to engender such improvements.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Xalan was founded 2004-09-30 (18 years ago)
There are currently 57 committers and 5 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Bill Blough on 2019-02-19.
- No new committers. Last addition was Bill Blough on 2019-03-20.
## Project Activity:
The Apache Xalan team has had a welcome burst of activity to release
Xalan-Java 2.7.3 to address a security issue, this will be done by picking the
latest Apache Commons BCEL release. This is welcome activity indeed as we had
been considering Xalan-Java to the attic. This move might still happen in the
future as the component is woefully being in terms of standard support of
newer XSLT versions.
The Xalan-C side of the house is quiet.
## Community Health:
The health of the project had been poor until the recent bout of activity
mentioned under "Project Activity". Almost all metrics are up due to the
imminent release of Xalan-Java 2.7.3.

Attachment CH: Report from the Apache Xerces Project [Michael Glavassevich]
Xerces-J
Some JIRA issues were opened and received responses. Other than that, there
was no other activity since the last report.
Mailing list traffic has been low; roughly 20+ posts on the j-dev and j-users
lists since the beginning of September 2022.
No new releases since the previous report. The latest release is Xerces-J
2.12.2 (January 24th, 2022).
Xerces-C
There was a flurry of activity in October with the release preparation for
Xerces-C 3.2.4 (which was released that month). This was accompanied with a
discussion about the project's health and possible future retirement due to
the limited time and interest the few remaining developers have. No decision
has been made (yet) on how to move forward.
Mailing list traffic was high around the Xerces-C 3.2.4 release; roughly 280+
posts on the c-dev and c-users lists since the beginning of September 2022.
The latest release is Xerces-C 3.2.4 (October 17th, 2022).
Xerces-P
Nothing in particular to report. There was no development activity over the
reporting period.
XML Commons
No activity over the reporting period.
Committer / PMC Changes
The most recent committers were added in April 2017 (Xerces-C) and May 2017
(Xerces-J).
No new PMC members since the last report. The most recent addition to the PMC
was in June 2016.
Two committers have committed changes to SVN and GitHub since September 2022.

Attachment CI: Report from the Apache Yetus Project [Allen Wittenauer]
## Description:
Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and
release processes for software projects.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache Yetus was founded 2015-09-15 (7 years ago)
There are currently 12 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 4:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Akira Ajisaka on 2018-12-17.
- No new committers. Last addition was Akira Ajisaka on 2018-02-06.
## Project Activity:
Apache Yetus 0.14.1 was released on October 17, 2022 as a maintenance release
to 0.14.0 (released in May 2022). It primarily fixes critical bugs and some
updates to the binaries in the convenience Docker container.
Two points of future concerns that the project will likely need to tackle due
to outside forces:
* Release notes generation from git (and GitHub in particular) will likely
need to get addressed now that more of the downstream projects are
considering migrating away from JIRA-based issue tracking. This feature has
long been a wishlist item . . .
* GitHub is changing the versioning of their API to be calendar-based, with
guarantees of at least 24-months of support. Minimally, downstream users
will likely have greater turnover. Project may need to do more frequent
releases.
## Community Health:
Project is still mature/stable with not a lot of activity. This past quarter
reflects its typical "oh we should release" bumps, with smaller numbers than a
bigger release due to this being a maintenance release.
* 11 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (175% increase)
* 15 commits in the past quarter (275% increase)
* dev@yetus.apache.org had a 750% increase in traffic in the past quarter (17
emails compared to 2)
