4. Executive Officer Reports

    A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]

       Most of this month has been spent on preparing on the Board face to
       face meeting, which is currently in progress.  There are learnings
       to be had from this meeting, which we'll look back on next month.

    B. President [David Nalley]

       I worked with Dirk on figuring out our priorities around CRA and PLD

       I also prepared for and attended the board face-to-face meeting.

       Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 8.


    C. Treasurer [Craig R. McClanahan]

       I sent to the board@apache.org mailing list the financial results for
       both the entire 2022-2023 fiscal year, and the results for May 2023. 
       To ensure they are recorded in the board meeting minutes, here are the
       comments I included with that email:

       NOTES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR REPORT:
       * Financially, we operate on an accrual basis.  The impact of this is
         most notable in the "Sponsorship Program" income, where we receive
         the entire amount of each sponsorship ahead of time, but allocate
         the revenue across the relevant months in 12 equal portions.
       * In accordance with the Board-approved resolution, we transferred
         funds not needed for current operations ($2 million) to an Operating
         Reserve fund.  That investment earned us just over $48,000 in
         interest, which is being reinvested.
       * Overall for the year, revenues exceeded expenses by just over
         $200,000.
       * As I mentioned in my previous Board Report, we have successfully
         collected the funds formerly deposited with Citizen's Bank, and
         transferred them to our TD Bank account.  This happened over the
         fiscal year-end boundary, so it shows on the Balance Sheet as an
         entry in account 1060 (Temporary Clearing) along with zeroing the
         balance of 1010 (Citizen's Checking).
       * Account 1072 (Unrealized Gains/Losses) on the balance sheet reflects
         the fact that, if we had to sell all of our investments today, we
         would lose money - which won't happen.  The cause for this is the
         long string of Federal Reserve interest rate increases, which drives
         down the list price for bonds.  As those bonds mature, we will
         receive the original par value for them, as well as the interest we
         earn in the meantime.
       * We continue to record the $500,000 "Conditional Gift" in account
         2210.  This cash remains in our Checking Account, until the Board
         decides what we want to do with it.

       NOTES FOR THE MAY 2023 REPORT:
       * Expenses related to the Board Face-to-Face meeting happening in
         Berlin are accumulating in account 6010 (Chairmans Discretionary). 
         There will be additional expenses related to this trip in June.

    D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]

       In May, the secretary received 39 ICLAs, 3 CCLAs, and 1 CoI
       affirmation.

    E. Executive Vice President [Ruth Suehle]

       Planning for Community Over Code NA proceeds well.

       As mentioned last month, preparing to attend Open Source Congress with
       David on behalf of the ASF next month

    F. Vice Chair [Sharan Foga]

       Main work has been helping prepare for Board Face to Face in Berlin
       Currently assisting with:
       - Meeting logistics, planning and organisation
       - Finalisation and preparation of the meeting agenda

       The board has approved this budget.

       @David: Follow up with VP, Legal, on budget

    B. Public Policy Position

       Discussion on the creation of a public policy position.

       Planned workflow/change:

       We proactively plan to listen for legislative/regulatory/standards activity
       that would impact the ASF, our project communities, or our users in
       jurisdictions that the Board prioritizes.

       If VP Public Policy identifies something that does have impact, they will
       highlight that issue and bring it to the board with a proposed position that
       the ASF may want to hold.

       If the Board agrees with the policy position and that the issue will impact
       the ASF the Board may choose to authorize engagement/education.

       We may choose to engage a service that collates activity for us to be aware
       of. (Potential incremental budget ask coming in the future) 

       This will ensure that there is a single owner inside the Foundation that owns
       our engagement on public policy issues.

       Things we won't do: 

       Have non-ASF folks speaking on behalf of the Foundation.

       Proactively engage with the public sector sans board sanction.

Attachment 1: Report from the VP of Brand Management  [Mark Thomas]

Covering the period May 2023

* ISSUES FOR THE BOARD

None.


* OPERATIONS

Responded to the following queries, liaising with projects as required:
- Provided advice to an external company on how to best describe their
  employee's contribution to an ASF project.
- Reviewed two proposed t-shirt designs using ASF marks.
- Provided advice to SOLR regarding use of the mark in a third-party domain
  name.
- Provided advice to KAFKA regarding use of the mark in a third-party domain
  name.

- Denied three 3rd-party events due to date conflicts. Two requests were then
  escalated to VP Conferences.
- The Brand Management team now has access to the ASF events calendar and will
  add events as they are approved.
- Reminded an event organizer of the need to request permission to use our
  marks for their event.
- Approved one event after dates were shifted to avoid CoC 2023.


* REGISTRATIONS

Provided advice to AIRFLOW regarding registration.

Transfer of the DORIS marks to the ASF is now complete.


* INFRINGEMENTS

Continued to work with counsel regarding a registration that potentially
conflicts with our CASSANDRA mark in Columbia.

The BEAM PMC is addressing a potential infringement with a series of 3rd-party
produce names.

Requested removal of the ASF logo from a 3rd-party site.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 2: Report from the VP of Fundraising  [Bob Paulin]

1) ASF Sponsors:

a --New: we’re in the process of onboarding a new Silver Sponsor.

b --Renewals: one Silver Sponsor has confirmed their renewal. One Gold Sponsor
has confirmed they are unable to renew this year.

c --Payments: 1 --New: no new Sponsor payments were received.

     2a --Renewing: we received payment from two renewing Platinum, two Gold,
     one Silver, and one Bronze Sponsor.

     2b --Incoming: we await payment from one Platinum, one Gold, one Silver,
     and one Bronze Sponsor.

2) Targeted Sponsors: we are exploring additional ways to support the ASF
through the Targeted Sponsorship program. No changes with our Targeted
Sponsors during this timeframe.

3) Sponsor Relations: we met with the OSPO heads of two Sponsor organizations.
We are discussing options to augment Sponsor communications and engagement at
events to better connect with Sponsor contacts who are new to the ASF
community/ecosystem.

4) Event Sponsorship: a handful of ASF Sponsors await the prospectus for the
upcoming Community Over Code Conference(s). We are standing by to support 2023
event sponsorship activities and continue to assist with collections on
several outstanding sponsorship payments from ApacheCon NA (October 2022).

5) Individual Donations and Corporate Giving: we received $2.7K in individual
donations this month.

6) Administrivia: we continue to work with the Treasury and Accounting teams
on resolving a few remaining Sponsor invoicing issues.

Attachment 3: Report from the VP of Marketing and Publicity  [Brian Proffitt]

Foundation Comms
* Announced SeaTunnel as TLP via the ASF blog, wire, and social channels.
* Began stakeholder outreach for FY 2023 Annual Report content.
* Provided feedback on the academic diversity study.

Proactive Storytelling
* Continued #FirstContributions Campaign: new blog post[1] and social cards.
* Began email outreach to stakeholders for story platform[2]; scheduling
  interviews.

Branding Project
* Reviewed initial proposals and met with several vendors. We have either not
  had a good fit, not been able to afford them, or (in the case of one vendor)
  been rejected as a customer because we would not be changing the Apache name
  at this time.
* Steering Committee: No activity yet, because until we get a vendor, there
  isn't much to discuss. This is because nearly every vendor has a variation
  of a guided discussion about re-brand goals and objectives, and I am
  conservatively waiting to have that conversation with a selected vendor all
  at the same time. If the delay continues, though, I plan to start the
  discussion with the committee before the end of June.
* BKP attended the Board F2F to discuss how the general process will go, and
  have a dialog to ensure re-branding goals are aligned. Questions about
  re-naming and project branding, currently outside the remit of M&P and the
  steering committee, were discussed.

* Continued to monitor and counsel on reactive communications around ASF
  branding.

Annual Report M&P would love to get this posted in July, but we are missing
reports from:
* Rich Bowen (he's working on his)
* Myrle Krantz
* Craig McClanahan
* David Nalley
* Bob Paulin
* Katia Rojas

Website
* Continued updating multiple pages in preparation for navigation/restructure.
* Draft[3] available to peruse now

Social Media Posts In May, we continued to drive community engagement across
social media, sharing:
* 56 Tweets + 16 LinkedIn posts covering ASF, project, and industry news.
  Posts included project releases, Community Over Code Asia promotion (call
  for speakers), case studies and how-to articles.
* Continued to react to select posts in which we were mentioned or tagged.

Social Analysis ASF social SOV amongst other large foundations continues to
float around the single digits at 6.9% with a net negative social sentiment
this month of 18.2%.
* May 27.3% positive vs 45.5% negative
* YTD average : 16% positive vs 18% negative (2% net negative)

Social Engagement Stats (Twitter + LinkedIn)
* Total engagement: 6,917 (down 27% from April)
* Total clicks: 3,052 (down 36% from April)
* Click to engagement ratio: 44% (down 6% from April)
* New followers: 821 (up 2% from April)

Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure  [Myrle Krantz]

General
=======
Infrastructure is operating as expected, and has no current issues
requiring escalation to the President or the Board.

Highlights
==========
- blogs.apache.org has been turned off, with active blogs moved to
  selfserve by the projects, and redirects to their new location.
  Blogs not migrated remain active, in readonly form.

General Activity
================
- Continued work on a keycloak proof-of-concept to provide an OIDC
  (and OAuth) endpoint to services. It will also provide MFA on top of
  our LDAP accounts.
- Moving along an ansible test for secrets management, as a test of
  Ansible rollout and replacement for EYAML in our Puppet configs.
- Jira account management has been revised towards a more self-serve
  approach, and to simplify the workflow for a PMC. This includes a
  new "reactivate" feature in case Infra deactivates an account for
  idle-ness, and the contributor returns.
- Ephemeral GitHub Action nodes in Azure are up and running. This will
  allow projects to choose specific node types for their GHA workflows
  (eg. ARM or large memory nodes).
- blogs.apache.org has been made readonly. Projects with active blogs
  have moved to a selfserve approach (via asf.yaml). For projects that
  have migrated, redirects are in place on blogs.a.o. Eventually, an
  aggregator will be deployed for all projects' blogs.
- Gradle moves along, and more projects are getting their builds
  looped into the service.
- Work on migrating BitWarden accounts, so that we can turn off
  LastPass when our contract ends in August.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Conferences  [Rich Bowen]

Planning for Community Over Code, North America, 2023, proceeds. The sponsor
prospectus is now available. The CFP is still open. Details are available at
https://communityovercode.org/

Planning for Community Over Code, Asia, 2023, also proceeds. Details are
available at https://apachecon.com/acasia2023/

And finally, planning for Community Over Code, Europe, 2024, is under way.
Details for that are still primarily on the planners@apachecon.com mailing
list.

Due to the late publication of dates for the two 2023 events, we found
ourselves in conflict with a number of our PMC-produced events. Exceptions
have been granted for several of these, which are, unfortunately, very close
in both time and location to our main events. VP Conferences is making a much
more concerted effort to stay up to date on event branding requests on the
trademarks@ list, and VP Trademarks has graciously been adding those events to
the list on events.apache.org, which is now much more accurate that ever in
the past


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 6: Report from the Apache Travel Assistance Committee  [Gavin McDonald]

Current Events
==============

1. Community Over Code Beijing China 
2. Community Over Code Halifax Canada

Both above events being fully supported by TAC and applications are now open
for both.


TAC App
=======

TAC app is currently open supporting 2 events.

Future Events
=============

None Currently.


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
=====================

Some list activity, a call for more volunteers has so far gone unanswered, we
may reach out to the membership as we have in the past.

Membership
==========

No changes to the membership this month
===

Attachment 8: Report from the VP of Data Privacy  [Christian Grobmeier]

# General

No issues requiring board attention at this time.

## First online meeting on 28 Jun 2023

One of the roles of the DPO is to educate. I am trying a new format in the
form of an online meeting to respond to all questions committers might have
around their projects, websites or just in general.

# Recommendations

## Add subscription information to every new subscriber of a mailing list

Tracked as: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-23011?filter=-2
(open since 18/Mar/22)

Adding this kind of information will tell users how mailing lists work and we
can act based on user consent.

## Access to ICLAs should be more restrictive
This task is currently work in progress.

Attachment 9: Report from the VP of W3C Relations  [Andy Seaborne]


-----------------------------------------
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
22 outstanding issues.

Henri Yandell prepared the first draft of formal guidance for ASF contributors
on using generative AI code assist tools (e.g. GitHub Co-pilot, etc.). Next
step is to settle it with the legal committee and then members@.

There appears to be some level of disagreement and the need for further
clarification around split of Legal responsibilities between the office of the
President of the ASF and the Legal Committee/VP Legal. See public emails
discussion threads on legal-discuss@ and, likely, on board@ soon. Roman and
David are scheduled to spend some time 1-1 to figure out the proposal here.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 11: Report from the Apache Security Team Project  [Mark J. Cox]

- An older Tomcat JMX issue, CVE-2016-8735, was selected to be included in the
  CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.

- We have engaged with the Trivy SBOM/security scanner project to discuss how
  we can help reduce noise and make security reports more accurate, possibly
  using VEX. This is challenging because it requires the scanner to build not
  just a list, but the graph of dependencies.

- We are working with NIST/NVD to improve the consistency of CPE's, and have
  stopped distinguishing between 'incubating' and 'regular' Apache projects in
  the CPE, to avoid missing associations.

- The Airflow project has formed a security@airflow.apache.org group, which
  hopefully will help clear their considerable backlog.

- We continue working with projects to publish 'security model' information on
  their websites, this month PDFBox.

- We have started exploring creating a single place to find security contact
  information and advisories for all Apache projects on
  https://security.apache.org and also moved our blog there

Stats for May 2023:

        22 [license confusion]
        11 [support request/question not security notification]]
        2 [report/question relating to dependencies]

     In total, as of 1 June 2023, we're tracking 165 (last months: 173, 153)
     open issues across 56 projects, median age 76 days
     (last months: 69, 78). 46 of those issues have CVE names assigned.

     12 (last month: 7) of these issues, across 6 projects, are older than 365
     days.

Attachment 12: Report from the VP of Jakarta EE Relations [Rob Tompkins]


-----------------------------------------
Attachment A: Report from the Apache Airflow Project  [Bolke de Bruin]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Airflow is the creation and maintenance of software 
related to workflow automation and scheduling that can be used to author and 
manage data pipelines

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: No issues worth board attention

## Membership Data:
Apache Airflow was founded 2018-12-19 (4 years ago)
There are currently 53 committers and 31 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Brent Bovenzi was added to the PMC on 2023-03-15
- Hussein Awala was added as committer on 2023-04-12
- Pankaj Singh was added as committer on 2023-06-13

## Project Activity:
* We reached some milestones in the last quarters that indicate strong
  community and healthy activity: 30K stars on GitHub, 2500 contributors who
  contributed, 20K commits overall.
* We released the 2.6 feature release - as planned. It included new
  interesting features - notification support that seems to be anecdotally
  (and somewhat surprisingly) highly valued and prised by our users,
   improvements to Grid View, solving a long time “tasks stuck in Queue”
   problems and making Async logs available in in the integrated logging,
   continuous timetable
* We are steadily releasing Airflow core patchlevel/bugfix releases (with
  roughly monthly cadence) and gearing up to Airflow 2.7 feature release in
  the coming month. The 2.7 will contain AIP-52 (setup/teardown) and if we
  manage to implement it also AIP-44 (internal API), improved UI, and a number
  of other features we work on.
* We are also steadily releasing 80+ provider packages that extend Airflow
  capabilities and allow for integration with external services/software with
  roughly bi-weekly cadence.
* The important events in the last quarter was getting rid of Python 3.7
  support (Python 3.7 reaches end-of-life status in June 2023 and many of our
  dependencies already dropped support for it. We proposed, discussed, voted
  and updated our policies, deciding on a bit more relaxed timing for dropping
  the support before the actual end-of-life date (we already dropped support
  in `main` which will apply to the upcoming Airflow 2.7 version).
* We’ve implemented a series of optimizations and stabilizations of our CI
  builds, leading to lower build time utilization as well as faster feedback
  and more stability for committers and contributors. We have not measured the
  overall impact but we can talk roughly about 20-30% improvements in feedback
  time, 20-30% improvements in build time utilization and (hopefully as a
  result) dramatic improvements in stability of the builds and decreasing
  flakiness of the CI. We are looking forward to future improvements
  especially coming from some of the Github releases (K8S Controller they
  released and ASF Infrastructure options like self-hosted runners).
* Big news (voted PR of the month) was adding Python 3.11 support. We worked
  closely with our dependencies (for example Apache Beam, Papermill), and
  stakeholders of libraries (Google) that held us back from supporting Python
  3.11 (Released in October 2023) and finally we managed to bring Python 3.11
  support to `main` - this opened up for a huge bump in versions of our
  dependencies that were held back so far, increasing the security of the
  supply chain of ours. The upcoming 2.6.2 release already supports Python
  3.11. Also we worked out, discussed and voted on policies for suspending
  providers that hold us back and we applied it to “Yandex” provider (we
  informed Yandex library maintainers that we are suspending new releases
  until they fix their dependency issues). The policy is documented here:
  https://github. 
  com/apache/airflow/blob/main/PROVIDERS.rst#suspending-releases-for-providers
* Our provider released bumped minimum version of Airflow supported to 2.4
  following our policies which are part of the effort of incentivising our
  users to upgrade to newer versions of Airlfow quicker
  https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/PROVID 
  ERS.rst#minimum-supported-version-of-airflow-for-community-managed-providers
* There is an on-going work including efforts led by the stakeholders and
  community members that have not been as active before: Open Telemetry
  integration (AIP-49), Open Lineage integration (AIP-53), External
  Authentication and Authorisation framework (AIP-56 - part of Multi-Tenancy),
  Automatic Setup/Teardown (AIP-52, Airflow Internal API (AIP-44 part of
  Multi-Tenancy), Removing Executor Coupling (AIP-51). Most of the efforts
  have a common theme of making Airflow more of an extensible workflow
  platform than just an end-user solution.
* Since we got substantially more security issues reported to us by security
  researchers - result of Airflow being part of Hacker One bounty, we are in
  the process of improving and redefining a process for handling security
  issues. This process is somewhat experimental (we work closely with the ASF
  security team) as it involves not only PMC members and committers, but also
  other stakeholders and external security researchers who are not (yet)
  committers. This is somewhat at odds with the established policy of who
  should be on the security team but we got approval of VP Security of the ASF
  for the process and we are working on putting that into practice to evaluate
  if that can help in handling the reports in a more timely fashion, at the
  same time allowing external stakeholders to participate in the process
  following very well defined process. The process has been discussed, voted
  and applied already, we are working on making a routine. The security team
  is established, and working on the issues, we are going to intensify the
  work and discussions there. Part of the discussion is also general
  improvement in the process including adding SBOM exports and generally
  improving the way how we communicate security issues to our users. More
  information about the process we are following is here:
  https://github.com/apach 
  e/airflow/blob/main/.github/SECURITY.rst#handling-security-issues-in-airflow

## Community Health:
* We have regular monthly newsletter and voting on PR of the month that
  regularly gets somewhat enthusiastic reactions from the community We have a
  number of discussion redirected from PR/Slack chats to the devlist, we
  actively redirect “substantial” discussions requiring architectural changes
  to devlist to make sure we have an inclusive community
* The rules on what we consider breaking changes that we started to
  communicate with the upcoming 2.6 release already had effect and helped to
  facilitate some discussion on “what is breaking” - with
  3rd-parties/downstream projects that use Airflow (external Helm Chart).
  Hopefully they will make expectations better aligned.
* We have more people publishing in our medium “Airflow” Publication
  https://medium.com/apache-airflow that seems to pick up the steam. We have
  13 new blog posts published by authors from all-over-the community
  (including authors from various stakeholders) since March 21 (2 months). We
  also have almost 800 followers. This is a significant uptick (there are in
  total 34 articles since Feb 2021).
* We are reaching 2500 contributors on GitHub this month (2495 currently so
  just 16 more contributors left). We continue to increase our lead over Spark
  which is the second biggest project of Apache Software Foundation on GitHub
  regarding the number of contributors . We see continuous interest in new
  contributors joining Airflow

## Events

The community is getting ready for Airflow Summit 2023 that is happening
September 19-21 in Toronto, Canda. We are already past the selection of 80% of
the content and the Early Birds ticket ended on 10th of June. We have a
substantial audience already who purchased tickets. We decided to give free
passes to all the committers and we have a healthy set of sponsors and we are
increasing our promotional efforts in cooperation with Software Guru who are
producers of the event. The event is organized by representatives of the
biggest stakeholders (Amazon, Google, Astronomer), PMC members and other
community members).

We had a number of local Airflow Meetups: London, New York, Paris, Charlotte,
NC, New York and others.

development. For IvyDE we lack the knowledge of building Eclipse plugins on
actual Eclipse versions.

But it get's harder to get enough votes for releases as most of the PMC
members are more involved in other projects.

Attachment H: Report from the Apache Axis Project  [Robert Lazarski]

# Apache Axis Board Report

## Description

The Apache Axis project is responsible for the creation and maintenance of
software related to the Axis Web Services frameworks and subsidiary
components (both Java and C).

## Issues

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Membership Data:
Axis was created on 2001-01-19 (22 years ago). It is listed as 
established in 2009-12 but really the first Apache commit was in 2001.

There are currently 63 committers and 62 PMC members in this project,
a vote in 2010 made all committers automatically PMC members. One PMC
member resigned.

Community changes, past quarter:
 - Currently 62 PMC/ 63 Committers members.
 - No new committers were added in the last 90 days, last committer added
   was Bill Blough on December 7th 2017 who also was added to the PMC on
   May 9th 2018.

## Health report:

This past quarter a lot of progress was made adapting Apache Axiom
SNAPSHOT release changes into Axis2. 

Work has also started on AXIOM-506, a requirement for moving Axis2 off of 
the old javax packages and into new jakarta packages. See AXIS2-6051.

Separately, a major refactoring effort of Apache Rampart - 
an implementation of WS-Security standards - has resulted 
in commits upgrading OpenSAML from 2.x to 4.3.0, and Apache WS-WSS4J 
from 1.6 to 3.0.0. See RAMPART-449.

Axis2 C PMC member Bill Blough continues to help users on the mailing list

## Project Activity:
### Spark extensions:
No movement around spark connector, only small discussion around
https://github.com/apache/bahir/pull/101

### Flink extensions:
Some movement around some connectors with PRs open and merged 
- Redis connector: PRs open and merged to add new commands
- Kudu connector: PRs open and merged to fix functionality 
  and new features requested (BAHIR-322)
- Updated flink to last version 1.17

## Community Health:
We don't have enough active PMC members to new version (asked several times).
We also have a pending email to the list of users commenting on the status 
of the project and that if there is no interest in helping to maintain the
project we will consider going for the artic.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment J: Report from the Apache Beam Project  [Kenneth Knowles]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Beam is the creation and maintenance of software related 
to a unified programming model for both batch and streaming data processing, 
enabling efficient execution across diverse distributed execution engines and 
providing extensibility points for connecting to different technologies and 
user communities.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: none

## Membership Data:
Apache Beam was founded 2016-12-20 (6 years ago)
There are currently 91 committers and 23 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Jan Lukavský on 2023-02-14.
- Anand Inguva was added as committer on 2023-04-21.
- Damon Douglas was added as committer on 2023-04-21.

## Project Activity:

- 2.48.0 was released on 2023-06-03.
- 2.47.0 was released on 2023-05-10.

Highlights of community activities:

- Beam Summit 2023 (https://beamsummit.org/) was just held June 13-15. Summit
  reached 500+ registrations. This is the 6th iteration of this annual
  community-organized summit.
- Interactive Beam Playground updated with lots of new features
  (https://lists.apache.org/thread/15phr0h5q007pjgfotwqcvdr7hyotks1).
- Google Cloud Skills Boost launched a Beam "quest"
  (https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/quests/310), paid educational content
   where users earn a completion "badge".

Some technical highlights relevant to community development:

- Python 3.11 support added
- Flink 1.16.x support added
- The Go SDK is now very nearly at feature parity with Python and Java. The
  gaps are small enough that they are more than compensated for by the
  qualitative differences between the SDKs, and the existing gaps and bugs in
  each. It has arrived!
- "Experimental" annotation cleanup: the annotation and concept have been
   removed from Beam to avoid the misperception of code as "not ready". They
   were there to signal that something might change or disappear, but in
   practice we rarely did so and we almost always neglected to "graduate"
   features from this status. We will just make case-by-case judgment.
- A new local Beam runner called the "Prism Runner" is authored in Go and
  poised to become the definitive local portable runner, serving as a proper
  reference for the Beam model. Rapid developments in Beam have resulted in a
  major gap in this area, with no runner supporting every corner of the model
  so users could reliably test their work prior to running on a cloud service.

## Community Health:

Traffic on various communication channels is roughly stable. The number and
variety of attendees at the Beam Summit shows a very healthy diversity of
stakeholders in Beam and interest in the project's development. There were
many talks of unexpected and interesting work that took place outside the
project's communication channels and code repository. Creating an ecosystem
bigger than itself is a good sign, but also some of these may be opportunities
to invite work to merge into Beam itself to grow committers and PMC members
from those stakeholders.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment K: 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.

## Project Status:
Ongoing: 3.2.1 patch release is currently underway.

## Issues for the board:
There are no issues requiring board attention.

## Membership Data:
Apache Bigtop was founded 2012-09-19 (11 years ago)
There are currently 42 committers and 29 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 Masatake Iwasaki on 2021-03-11.
- Zhiguo Wu was added as committer on 2023-05-17

## Project Activity:
- We are working on the 3.2.1 patch release to address security issues fixed
by Hadoop 3.3.5.
- We defined the Bigtop-3.3 release scope on BIGTOP-3909 which will include:
    1.Support New components like Ranger debian, bigtop-select (for Ambari).
    2.Adapt Bigtop Mpack to new Ambari-2.8.
    3.Dropping old supported distros and only support the latest LTS.
    4.Sub components upgrading.
-In addition, we had a brainstorming discussion about openEuler support and
the related work has been kicked off:
https://github.com/apache/bigtop/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen++openEuler 

## Community Health:
- Community health is good. Several contributors were actively fixing issues
and developing the 3.2.1 release. The number of the commits was a bit
decreased, but all other metrics were positive and reflect our active
development and interactions.
- 10 code contributors in the past quarter (42% increase)
- 24 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (50% increase)
- 20 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (122% increase)
- 24 commits in the past quarter (-17% decrease)
- 33 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (57% increase)
- 19 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (90% increase)
- dev@bigtop.apache.org had a 105% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(246 emails compared to 120)

Attachment M: Report from the Apache BVal Project  [Matthew Jason Benson]

## Description:
The mission of BVal is the creation and maintenance of software related to 
Apache BVal: JSR-303 Bean Validation Implementation and Extensions

## Project Status:
Current project status: Dormant
Issues for the board: none.

## Membership Data:
Apache BVal was founded 2012-02-14 (11 years ago)
There are currently 16 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Jean-Louis Monteiro on 2020-11-29.
- No new committers. Last addition was Jean-Louis Monteiro on 2020-11-17.

## Project Activity:
Recent activity has been limited to responding to automated dependency
upgrade suggestions.

## Community Health:
No changes in community health, which is to say our community remains
small and "reactive." We do continue to have a sufficient number of PMC members
who will perform required tasks out of duty if nothing else. As part of the
suite of implementations of Java Community Specifications as implemented at
the ASF, we see BVal as being essential and thus plan to maintain it in dormant
state indefinitely.

Attachment N: Report from the Apache Camel Project  [Andrea Cosentino]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Camel is the creation and maintenance of an open-source 
integration framework based on known Enterprise Integration Patterns.

- Christoph Deppisch was added as committer on 2023-05-25
- Marcin Grzejszczak was added as committer on 2023-04-20

## Project Activity:
- We released Camel 3.14.8
- We released Camel 3.18.6
- We released Camel 3.18.7
- We released Camel 3.20.3
- We released Camel 3.20.4
- We released Camel 3.20.5
- We released Camel 4.0.0-M2
- We released Camel 4.0.0-M3
- Note: Camel releases have synchronized releases of Camel-Karaf and
  Camel-Spring-Boot too for 3.x, while for 4.x only Camel-Spring-Boot is
  synchronized.
- We are near releasing the first release candidate for Camel 4.0.0, it will
  be done in this month and we plan to complete 4.0.0 release in September.
- We are continuing release 3.18.x LTS release train and we are in the process
  of releasing the next patch release.
- We started the release train for 3.20.x LTS, and we are already at the fifth
  patch release.
- We are still supporting Camel 3.14.x, an LTS train, but it's going EOL, so
  there will be one last release.
- For Camel K we are working on releasing the first patch release for 1.12.x,
  but the focus is on the 2.x work. We are focusing on giving to the community
  a new experience.
- For Camel-Kamelets releases
- We released Camel Kameletes 0.9.4
- We released Camel Kameletes 3.20.3
- We released Camel Kameletes 3.20.4
- We released Camel Kameletes 3.20.5
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.0.0-M2
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.0.0-M3
- We are improving the Camel-K experience and Camel Kamelets is already
  looking at Camel 4
- Camel-Kamelets is not only related to camel k anymore so it could be used
  with all the Camel's flavours
- The Camel-Quarkus work is going ahead following the main camel releases with
  multiple releases
- We released Camel-quarkus 2.13.3
- We released Camel-quarkus 3.0.0-M1
- We released Camel-quarkus 3.0.0-M2
- Camel-Kameleon and Camel-Karavan are improving and more and more
  contributors are starting to help. We are improving the projects by
  supporting new features and aligning with LTS releases 3.20.x as in the last
  report
- Camel Kafka Connector release based on Camel 3.20.1 has been released.
- We are supporting Camel Kafka Connector aligning it to the Camel Core LTS
  Releases 3.20.x and we released camel-kafka-connector 3.20.3
- Generally speaking we are working on supporting Camel 4 in all the runtimes
  provided and this is taking a lot of effort.

## Community Health:
- 265 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (25% decrease) and 284 issues closed
  in JIRA, past quarter (3% decrease): We are in a stabilization phase for
  Camel 3.x and the LTS are more or less stable. Mostly new issues are about
  Camel 4.x, but since we are closing down the work for releasing Camel 4.0.0
  there is less new issues opened.
- 211 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (13% decrease) and 203 issues
  closed on GitHub, past quarter (4% decrease): Since we are working on
  releasing Camel 4.0.0 some of the subprojects using gh issues are seeing
  less focused work, Camel is using JIRA for tracking the work
- 4648 commits in the past quarter (3% increase) and 120 code contributors in
  the past quarter (no change): More or less we are stable. The camel core
  team is focusing on Camel 4.x. We saw sporadic contributions from new
  contributors.
- 1362 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (7% increase) and 1366 PRs closed on
  GitHub, past quarter (7% increase): on some of the subprojects the activity
  is slowing down for stabilization reasons, we also cleaned up some of the
  subprojects gh PR and there was a lot of work on Camel-Kamelets from this
  pov
- dev@camel.apache.org had a 32% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (304
  emails compared to 441): This is mostly because the work done on Camel 4
  side is about moving to support Jakarta, there was some discussions but
  mostly about releasing.
- issues@camel.apache.org had a 0% increase in traffic in the past quarter
  (1901 emails compared to 1891): We are more or less stable here. There was
  activity in JIRA mostly for Camel 4 work and cleaning up.
- users@camel.apache.org had a 26% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
  (263 emails compared to 352): The activity is less because of the work on
  Camel 4 but also because users is asking and discussing on the provided
  Zulip chat

Attachment O: Report from the Apache Cayenne Project  [Michael Ray Gentry]

# Apache Cayenne Board Report, June 2023

## 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.

## Project Status

### Project State

Ongoing

### Issues for Board

On the December Board Report, Rich Bowen commented:
>> 4 years since adding a committer, and 5 since adding a PMC
>> member, is concerning for the long-term sustainability of
>> the project. Have you recently had a hard look to see what
>> new contributors might be invited to join the project
>> community?

Cayenne reported on March Board Report:
> Cayenne's core committers and PMC are rather stable. That said, there
> is an individual who has submitted several PRs and bug reports for rather
> non-trivial issues and we are planning to invite him to become a committer
> soon. Hopefully he will accept a role in the project.

This still needs to be addressed.

## 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

Cayenne 4.2 released:

https://cayenne.apache.org/2023/05/cayenne-42-final-released/

Development is shifting to 5.0 (unreleased).

Prior versions are maintenance-only.

- Cayenne 4.0.x (stable)
  - Maintenance only.

- Cayenne 4.1.x (stable)
  - Maintenance only.

- Cayenne 4.2.x (stable)
  - Maintenance only.

- Cayenne 5.0 (unreleased)
  - Features being defined.

### Releases

- Cayenne 4.0.3 on 2023-03-02.
- Cayenne 4.1.1 on 2021-12-24.
- Cayenne 4.2 on 2023-05-25.

## Community Health

Cayenne is healthy.

JIRA, Git, and user mailing list activity were lower as 4.2 stabilized
prior to release. Developer mailing list slightly higher due to 4.2
being released and 5.0 feature set discussions.

Questions on the user mailing list are actively addressed.

Attachment V: Report from the Apache Daffodil Project  [Mike Beckerle]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Daffodil is the creation and maintenance of software 
related to an implementation of the Data Format Description Language (DFDL) 
used to convert between fixed format data and more readily processed forms such 
as XML or JSON

## Project Status:
There are no issues that require board attention. 

## Membership Data:
Apache Daffodil was founded 2021-02-16 (2 years ago) There are currently 17
committers and 16 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 9:8.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Mike McGann on 2023-02-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Mike McGann on 2023-02-28.

(We are in the middle of adding 2 more PMC members who have accepted, but the
 rest of the process is still churning, so they're not official yet.)

## Project Activity:
No new releases this past quarter.

Daffodil 3.5.0 (primarily bug fix release) is still in the works, with a
revised target of late June 2023. As of this writing the last critical bug fix
was just merged. So we believe we are on track now.

The Daffodil 1.3.0 of the Daffodil VSCode Extension (IDE) is in preparation
currently at RC2 status.

In late June we will be presenting Apache Daffodil and its status at a
cyber-security conference.

## Community Health:
Community activity in bug fixing on the main Apache Daffodil library has
slowed somewhat, due to some active contributors getting busier with other
commitments. This is evidenced by the decrease in PR rates.

Counterbalancing this is an uptick in activity on our Daffodil VSCode
Extension IDE project which has generated more email traffic on all our lists.

- Gabor Somogyi was added as committer on 2023-04-20
- Yuxia Luo was added as committer on 2023-03-10

The PMC is continuously monitoring for new committers and PMC members.

## Project Activity:

We'll start of this report with some great recognition of the Flink communities
work:
Apache Flink is getting the SIGMOD systems award 2023 for its significant 
impact on stream data-processing. SIGMOD is the biggest database research
conference in the world.

Here's an overview over the project activity:

* Releases: In the reporting timeframe, there were 19 releases: Mostly from the
connector externalization, some bugfix releases (1.16.2, 1.17.1, 1.15.4) and
a big release: Flink 1.17.0 with major improvements on batch processing,
efficiency and the interfaces.

* There is a discussion about the future of the "Flink Statefun" subproject.
Most of the active contributors have moved on, so there's little to no activity
in Stateful Functions currently. The PMC has reached out to the
dev@ list to check if there's people willing to take ownership in the project.
The discussion is still ongoing. It seems that current users of the project 
like it and the idea, but there doesn't seem to be a bigger group of
new contributors at the moment. There are ideas about a fork outside of the
ASF, or maintaining it with some help from committers in the ASF for some more
time.

* 2.0 discussion: A discussion about Flink 2.0 has been started. Flink
1.0 is 7 years ago. The discussion is about a long-term plan, not an immediate
2.0 release, as this will disrupt a lot of things (ongoing development, breaking
API changes, ...).
There is wide consensus in the community that a 2.0 release should happen and is
overdue. There were discussions on the scope of the release.

Follow up discussions from the initial 2.0 discussion: 
* The community is preparing a discussion for the project roadmap, 
triggered by the 2.0.0 discussion and the outdated roadmap on the website.
* API and general compatibility between 1.x and 2.x
* Work items for 2.0 release to be collected in the Wiki

There were  branding requests for Flink-conferences in Beijing 
(Flink Forward Asia 2023), Singapore (rejected by the ApacheCon planners) 
and Seattle (Flink Forward Seattle 2023). As well as branding requests
by AWS and Confluent.

Flink 1.18 feature freeze is scheduled by end of June.


## Community Health:
- From the project activity report, you can see there were some healthy
  discussions around Flink 2.0, roadmap and various releases and FLIPs.
- Looking at the statistics (comparing to the previous quarter), there is a
  +29% increase on the user-zh@flink.apache.org list, all other metrics are in
  a slight decline: dev@ ML -12%, Jira's opened -15%, Jira's closed: -19%.
  However, these activities are still at high base numbers: 886 issues opened,
  841 commits, etc.

Attachment AF: Report from the Apache Gora Project  [Kevin Ratnasekera]

## Description:
- The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and
  persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores,
  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.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing project with low activity 
Issues for the board: None

## Membership Data:
Apache Gora was founded 2012-01-24 (11 years ago) There are currently 31
committers and 29 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 1:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- 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:
- Received several contributions from external people.
- Several PMC members volunteered in mentoring GSoC for this year, we were
  granted with 2 slots for this year GSoC programme.
- Except for activity related preparation of 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:
- We observed the usual activity level on both Github and mailing lists for
  the past quarter. So nothing significant that worth mentioning for the this
  quarterly report compared to previous reports. Activity level for past
  quarter on Github and mailing lists was mainly influenced by the GSoC
  preparation work. For the past few years, GSoC has been an excellent source
  for bringing new contributors to our project. Most of our recent elected
  committers are previous GSoC participants who continued to remain in the
  project.

Attachment AH: 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.

## Project Status

Current Status: dormant - when things need to be done, they get done

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. During the past
quarter Gump was migrated to run builds using Java 21 because Tomcat
will start requiring this as baseline for Tomcat 11.x.

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.

Apart from foundation wide announcements or infrastructure team
messages nobody has posted any message to the Gump mailing list or
asked for a change who is not a member of the Gump PMC already for the
last almost five years.

Attachment AM: Report from the Apache Incubator Project  [Justin Mclean]

# Incubator PMC report for June 2023

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 26 podlings incubating. 
This month we were missing reports from Toree and Training. SeaTunnel has 
graduated, and Kvrocks have a proposal to the board for graduation. 
podlings 
executed 4 distinct releases.   
Toree has had little activity in the past six months, and they have missed 
many reports, a PPMC roll call will be taken and they asked if they should 
consider retirement. 
Datalab has initiated graduation discussions, but they may not be ready to 
graduate yet as they don't seem in alignment with the Apache Way. 

## Community

### New IPMC members:
  - None

### People who left the IPMC:
  - None

## New Podlings

## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month

- Toree
- Traning

## Graduations

- SeaTunnel

The board has motions for the following:

- Kvrocks

## Releases

  The following releases entered distribution during the month of
  May:
  - Teaclave 0.5.1
  - SDAP 1.1.0
  - StreamPark 2.1.0
  - Kvrocks 2.4.0

## Baremaps

Apache Baremaps is a toolkit and a set of infrastructure components for
creating, publishing, and operating online maps.

Baremaps has been incubating since 2022-10-10.

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

  1. Getting the code in compliance with Apache standards
  2. Making releases
  3. Growing the community

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

  Someone submitted our website to HackerNews and we remained on the
  frontpage for about 16 hours [1]. Our demonstration server hosted on
  Hetzner (16 cores; 128GB of RAM; 8TB of NVMe SSD) successfully sustained
  this load and served more than 40GB of tiles from Postgis during this
  period of time [2]. Additionally, the OpenStreetMap Wiki now offers the
  possibility to display vector maps based on Baremaps on its pages [3]. 
This
  raises the following question: Could the demonstration server be hosted by
  the ASF at some point?

  [3] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:Vector_map

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

  The activity has increased. Five people made their first contribution to
  the code base since the last report, one of whom has been elected as a
  committer in May. The activity on the mailing list is very low, but the
  number of exchanges on GitHub increased.

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

  We significantly improved the basemap at low zoom levels
  We improved the layout and the content of the web site
  We continued to address licensing issues
  We attended the OGC/OSGeo/ASF code sprint and improve support for OGC API
  We fixed bugs and addressed issues

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

  1. Getting the code into Apache git repos
  2. Finishing the software grant
  3. Release

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

  No

### How has the community developed since the last report?
  It has been a slow quarter for us. Red Hat had a round of layoffs this
  quarter which affected their legal team, and the ones working on the
  Software Grant for Apache.
  It has pushed us back quite a ways as we've had to redo a bunch of the 
work.
  We're now targeting the end of June to have all the legal issues finished
  and the software grant completed.

Attachment AO: 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. 
   
## Project Status: 
The project is ongoing with moderate activity.

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 59 committers and 59 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Rishabh Daim was added to the PMC on 2023-04-06
- Rishabh Daim was added as committer on 2023-04-06

## 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.

The project team started to replace the plain Guava dependency in 
Jackrabbit Oak with a shaded version. This allows us to more easily
update Guava without interfering with users of Jackrabbit Oak.

Maintenance of Jackrabbit 2.16.x and Jackrabbit Oak 1.8.x ended in
May. Announcements have been sent to inform users to migrate to
more recent versions.

## Community Health:
The project is generally healthy with a continuous stream of traffic
mostly on JIRA issues and GitHub pull requests reflecting activity of
the respective component. 

Concerns were raised on the private email list about lack of or little
constructive participation by Jackrabbit committers on the FileVault
subproject. There is a split within the committers. Some would like to
actively evolve FileVault, while others are mostly happy with the status
quo and prefer fewer changes. 

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-oak-1.50.0 was released on 2023-03-23
- jackrabbit-2.21.16 was released on 2023-04-05
- jackrabbit-oak-1.22.15 was released on 2023-04-07
- jackrabbit-2.20.10 was released on 2023-05-08
- jackrabbit-oak-1.52.0 was released on 2023-05-15 

## JIRA activity:

- 167 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 134 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Attachment AQ: Report from the Apache Kibble Project  [Sharan Foga]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Kibble is the creation and maintenance of software 
related to an interactive project activity analyzer and aggregator

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, low activity.
Issues for the board: None.

## Membership Data:
Apache Kibble was founded 2017-10-17 (6 years ago)
There are currently 15 committers and 13 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:7.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Michał Słowikowski on 2021-05-02.
- No new committers. Last addition was Kaxil Naik on 2021-02-21.

## Project Activity:
The project has not yet made a release.

Very little activity again during the quarter and still trying to find free
cycles to work on a release of previous Kibble version and a roadmap for what
the new Kibble could look like.

We've had a documentation contribution [1] from a new contributor and also
some interest from someone trying out an install [2].

## Community Health:
The community is small and we know that we need to start focussing on building
it up to be more sustainable but we first need to work on defining the
project vision and roadmap of where we want the project to go. I still think
putting out a Kibble-1 release will help separate the previous version from
the new one that we'd like to build.

Attachment AW: 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.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Dormant/At risk
Issues for the board: Vote for PMC chair change following the board's suggestion

## Membership Data:
Apache Mnemonic was founded 2020-11-30 (3 years ago)
There are currently 21 committers and 14 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2.

## Project Activity:
We had 0.17.0 release done, but the project seems losing momentum. We hope to
change the PMC chair hoping PMC could help to better drive the community
effort and engagement

## Community Health:
As the data shown, we will need some way to improve the community engagement
by laying clear project roadmap and end goal. Otherwise it is hard to attract
and motivate developers 8 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (14% increase) 2

## Description:
The mission of Apache MXNet is the creation and maintenance of software related 
to a flexible and efficient library for Deep Learning

## Project Status:
Current project status: Considering moving to the Attic
Issues for the board: The project's current positioning is not gaining traction
in light of the development in the open source deep learning framework space.
Code development has mostly halted and community engagement slowed.
While roll call of the MXNet PMC received responses from 21 PMC members, the
PMC still needs either to find a critical mass to continue drive maintenance,
or to find alternative position that MXNet can pivot to so that the community
can gain traction in attracting new joiners. The discussion is happening on dev@

Attachment AZ: Report from the Apache NetBeans Project  [Geertjan Wielenga]

## Description:
The mission of Apache NetBeans is the creation and maintenance of software
related to development environments, tooling platforms, and application
frameworks.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with steady activity.
Issues for the board: None.

## Membership Data:
Apache NetBeans was founded 2019-04-17 (4 years ago)
There are currently 82 committers and 65 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Michael Bien on 2022-05-01.
- Tomas Hurka was added as committer on 2023-05-24

## Project Activity:
- 18 was released on 2023-05-30, with 31 contributors, including 5 who
contributed for the first time.
- 17 was released on 2023-02-21, with 36 contributors, including 7 who
contributed for the first time.

## Community Health:
- The key challenge in the project is that, since it is so large and
  everything is done via e-mail, it is not easy keeping everyone in sync, such
  as during moments of hand off in the release process, sometimes a few days
  go by before the next step in the process is picked up due to communication
  challenges. Maybe quick weekly Zoom calls are needed during the release
  process for those on the release team to remain in sync.
- In general the project is in a steady ongoing state with a strong core team,
  continual contributors, including new contributors, as can be seen in the
  Project Activity section above.
- Mailing list activity is down: in the past quarter dev@netbeans.apache.org
  had a 40% decrease in traffic (386 emails compared to 639) and
  users@netbeans.apache.org had a 36% decrease in traffic
  (235 emails compared to 363). On the topics that were of greatest interest,
   a lot of discussion took place, i.e., "[Lazy Consensus] Minimum JDK build
   and run policy (dropping JDK 8)" and "[VOTE] Minimum JDK build and run
   policy (dropping JDK 8)" were the busiest email threads.
- Apache NetBeans swag being worked on and in progress with
  dev@community.apache.org.

  (CVE-2022-47501) and currently we do not have open vulnerability reports on
   our plate
- release plans: in the next quarter we will continue using the 18.12 branch
  as the basis to publish bug fix releases as needed, while we complete the
  stabilization of the new 21.01 branch that will support Java 17
- the effort to migrate the official blog from Roller to Hugo is still ongoing
  and a bit behind of schedule; in the meantime, as agreed with the Infra
  team, archived posts are hosted on https://blogsarchive.apache.org/#ofbiz
  and any new post will be on ofbiz.apache.org/blog

## Community Health:
No new committers or PMC members have been invited during the last quarter
but we have some candidates in our watchlist. Community activity over the last
quarter has been on average and similar to previous periods: various user
questions have been posted and answered on topics including OFBiz
configuration and deployment, data model customisations, bill of materials,
inventory items etc...

Attachment BD: Report from the Apache OpenWebBeans Project  [Mark Struberg]

## Description:
 Apache OpenWebBeans is an ALv2-licensed implementations of the
 "Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform"
 specifications which are defined as JSR-299 (CDI-1.0), JSR-346

 The OWB community also maintains a small server as
 Apache Meecrowave subproject. Meecrowave bundles latest releases of
 the ASF projects Tomcat9 + OpenWebBeans + CXF + Johnzon + log4j2.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
 We've got our CDI-4.0 implementation ready and pass most TCK tests.
 Thinking about rolling an alpha release as TCK testing within TomEE 
 still takes a bit.

Attachment BF: Report from the Apache Pivot Project  [Roger Lee Whitcomb]

## Description:
The mission of Pivot is the creation and maintenance of software related to 
Rich Internet applications in Java

## Project Status:
Current project status: The project is very quiet currently. No appreciable
activity in the last couple of years, apart from some discussion of a security
problem last quarter.
Issues for the board: As noted in the board comments from last time, a dev@
email should go out (again) related to probable move to the Attic.

## Membership Data:
Apache Pivot was founded 2009-12-15 (14 years ago)
There are currently 10 committers and 7 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:4.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Gavin McDonald on 2022-04-13.
- No new committers. Last addition was Gavin McDonald on 2022-04-14.

## Project Activity:
Essentially nothing since the last report. Since it has only been two months
since the last (delayed) status, nothing has happened. Expect a new dev@
mailing this week about a move to the Attic. I also expect to make some new
commits now that summer is here and there is a little more time.

## Community Health:
There is sufficient oversight still on the PMC, but we are essentially
finished, with the (increasingly unlikely) potential to make a terminal
release (now delayed by 3-4 years).

Attachment BG: Report from the Apache PLC4X Project  [Christofer Dutz]

## Description:
The mission of the Apache PLC4X project is creating a set of libraries for 
communicating with industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs) using a 
variety of protocols but with a shared API.

## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing with moderate activity
Issues for the board: none

## Membership Data:
Apache PLC4X was founded 2019-04-17 (4 years ago)
There are currently 21 committers and 13 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 César García on 2021-10-01.
- No new committers. Last addition was Jinlin Hong on 2022-11-02.

Even if we managed to attract some new folks after switching to GitHub 
Issues, PRs and Discussions, still we haven't identified anyone to invite as 
committer or promote to PMC membership. But we know that it would be good 
for the project and we're keeping an eye on potential candidates.

And regarding diversity of the PMC and committership, nothing has changed 
and from the active members of our community not more than one person works 
for the same company.

## Project Activity:
There have been multiple initiatives from the community. Probably the most note-
worthy would be an updated S7 driver able to do cyclic communication. A new 
Apache Hop integration and updates to the EtherNet/IP driver. Currently there 
is one ongoing initiative to bring the Profinet driver forward.

Unfortunately, some of these have brought the project in a somewhat unstable
state and we'll be investing quite some time to re-stabilize this in the 
next few months.

In PLC4Go a lot of work has been put into streamlining the API, SPI and the
C-Bus driver, fixing issues with edge cases and fixing several bugs. Test 
got extended greatly which lead now to a coverage above 80% in the above 
mentioned components.

We are also planning on investing some time to refactor some of the core 
mechanisms to handle multi-connection drivers.

## Community Health:
Commit-activity has increased by 34% in the last quarter and we have 15 
individual contributors on file. Communication has decreased by 18%, but 
is still at levels we would still call ok (540 vs 653). This quarter we 
added Github Discussions as new communication channel and are starting to
use it.

Attachment BH: Report from the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) Project  [Yann Ylavic]

## Description:
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and
maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface
to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal is to provide
an API to which software developers may code and be assured of predictable if
not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on which their software is
built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work
around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features.

## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing.
Issues for the board: no issues requiring board attention.

## Membership Data:
Apache Portable Runtime (APR) was founded 2000-12-01 (23 years ago)
There are currently 68 committers and 43 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 Steffen Land on 2023-03-02.
- No new committers. Last addition was Steffen Land on 2023-02-27.

## Project Activity:
The project has released two APR versions this quarter, 1.7.3 with bugfixes and 
improvements (no security issue) and 1.7.4 to address a regression in 1.7.3.
An apr-1.8.0 version is being prepared with no (needed) rush.

## Community Health:
The project remains healthy, though quiet.
Low to moderate (at release time) activity on the dev@ mailing list.
Low activity on bugzilla/github too, vendors/distros usually provide the patch 
to build with new versions of a dependency software when a compatibility issue 
arises.

have two functional CIs owned by different PMC members. This should help both
in reducing the project's dependency on a single PMC member, and in dealing
with downtimes of the older CI. We have provided a new version with various
fixes in emulation component and Jewel module. Improvement was also provided
in RoyaleUnit. In addition, significant efforts have been made to ensure
binary reproducibility. With the next release we are going to continue
providing fixes and improvements according to need of our users in their
projects. One of our PMC members shared his large application written fully in
Apache Royale - deployed across Mobile and Desktop.

## Community Health:
We are seeing fewer emails in our Users list, while our development list is
more active recently.

Attachment BW: 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 over the last quarter have been slower over the previous
quarter.  I suspect some of this is due people focusing on other initiatives
post-TomEE 9.0.0 final release.  TomEE 9 took nearly 3 years and was
effectively created twice due to the change of direction in how we approached
the javax-to-jakarta migration.

We had noted issues with build times taking excessively long due to the size
of our codebase and age of the build machines, which are over 10 years old.
The project is currently incorporating the recently completed work to enable
builds in AWS, which should have very significant impact the project as we
struggle with 5-hour builds on any change.

The project would like to send great thanks to all the Infra team for thier
support and bringing this to life.  We are very excited and look forward to
reporting more on this in future reports.

## Activity

Work on TomEE 10 did start immediately after the release of TomEE 9.0.0 with
a handful of PRs to increase the level of various specifications and upgrade
to the newest implementations.  Unfortunately, nearly all the PRs broke the
build and we quickly wound up with a few hundred test failures.  We did have
this exact experience at the start of TomEE 9 and the build ended up staying
broken for over a year.  The 5-hour build time did contribute to that, though
is not the cause.  The cause is as stated in the previous report; PRs that
break the build being submitted and merged and the submitter infrequently
helping to address the failures.  An attempt to manage this was made by
putting all the broken PRs into a dedicated branch, so work could continue in
main.  The obvious impact the temporary branch had 90% of the activity and
work could not happen on main without merge conflicts.  It was pointed out as
a bad idea and the temporary branch with all the broken PRs was closed and
people were told to resubmit their PRs to main once they are able to pass a
build.  So far no one has done this and work on Jakarta EE 10 remains nacent.
We do think the shorter build times made possible through Infra's AWS work
will have positive impact.  Most the PRs that break the build come from
well-meaning contributors who don't have that much time to contribute.  These
people, who only have a few hours to spare, are the most impacted by the
several-hour build times.

Most work has been on maintenance of TomEE 9, which relied on the now
discontinued Tomcat 10.0.  To remedy this a TomEE 9.1 release was created
based on Tomcat 10.1, which is actively maintained.  The impact of this is
that TomEE 9.1.0 can no longer be Jakarta EE 9.1 certified as Tomcat 10.1
uses a newer Servlet version than is allowed in a Jakarta EE 9.1 certified
implementation (TomEE 9.0.0).  This unfortunately means our celebration about
being Java EE / Jakarta EE certified again after more than 10 years was very
short lived; about 4 months.  Our next chance will be when TomEE 10 is
complete, which will likely be at least another year or more.

The project concluded discussions on end-of-life policies, which were
mentioned last report.  As noted the paragraph above, maintaining releases is
signficantly harder.  Most patches cannot be backported due to changes in the
javax-to-jakarta namespace.  Most libraries are in a great deal of flux in
how they intend to manage old javax code vs newer jakarta code.  The result
is libraries we need (old and new) are getting dropped, patches can't easily
be backported and all maintenance is harder.

The end-of-life policy decided on is to maintian the current major release
and discontinue the previous major release six months after the new major
version goes final.  We think this more honestly reflects the resources we
have based on the contributions we get.  The end-of-life policy adopted for
TomEE 8 is longer, however, and goes till December 31st, 2023.  This was
published in March and we hope that it gives people the awareness they need
to spend the year migrating.

Attachment BX: Report from the Apache TVM Project  [Tianqi Chen]

## Description:
The mission of Apache TVM is the creation and maintenance of software related 
to compilation of machine learning models to run on a wide range of hardware 
platforms

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with active contributions.

Issues for the board: nothing atm

## Membership Data:
Apache TVM was founded 2020-11-17 (3 years ago)
There are currently 70 committers and 26 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:4.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was xinqi on 2023-01-31.
- Zihao Ye was added as committer on 2023-04-15
- Jiang Jiajun was added as committer on 2023-06-03
- Nicola Lancellotti was added as committer on 2023-05-02
- Anirudh Sundar Subramaniam was added as committer on 2023-05-12

There are also on going discussions on new members.

## Project Activity:

Recent releases:
- 0.12.0 was released on 2023-05-13.
- 0.11.0 was released on 2023-03-09.


The project continues to make strides on various fronts. There are several
improvements in frontends and TensorIR. The unity branch development also
starts gaining community traction, especially in enabling new emerging
areas, such as large-language and stable diffusion models that show value to
the community. 

The community also continues to publish tutorials to help community members to
get updates on the latest unity development. Specifically, tutorials on BYOC
(bring your own codegen) as well as vertical-focused applications such as
how to run language models.

## Community Health:

Overall we get ~150 commits from ~50 authors monthly. We also start to see a a
growing interest in TVM unity branch to enable stable diffusion and language
models.

Recap on TVMCon: the talks at TVMCon are now online at https://www.tvmcon.org/
This year we had speakers from diverse backgrounds in industry and academia
talking about their use in TVM and ML compilation in general. One highlight
was the ability to leverage TVM and bring models like stable diffusion onto
server, web browsers and eventually mobile devices.

Bringing in new members: the PMC is mindful in welcoming new contributors and
members and bring a healthy community. One recent priority of some of us is to
bring volunteer contributors from different backgrounds. These contributors
usually have more spread-out contributions but are super valuable to the
community. We identified several such members in the past quarters and would
strive to continue to do so. The unity branch development also serves as a way
to encourage new members of the community to participate in the emerging areas
they are interested in, hopefully bringing a broader set of members to the
community.

Supporting the community in the age of generative AI: with the arrival of
generative AI, such as stable diffusion and language models, the community's
interest also start to arise in these new domains. Supporting these new models
require different technical considerations from the traditional models we
support. Unity branch development brings these new capabilities to the
community. We have seen growing community interest in related areas and unity
development, with active recent community meetups and contributions to support
LLMs.

- 9.14.0 on 2023-05-28

We released also version 8.15.0 on 2023-05-02 for 8.x branch. 
Talking about our next main release (wicket 10), as of the writing of this 
report we have the first 10 milestone under vote and we should release it 
in the very next days. Needles to say that we are eager to receive feedback 
from our community about this first release of the 10.x branch :-) .
  
## Community Health:
Our community remains healthy and collaborative, with an increasing number of 
PRs on GitHub. As we said in the last report, there are a number of external
contributors interested in testing Wicket 10 M1 with other OOS projects.
One of them,  Richard Eckart de Castilho, is taking part to the M1 vote.
This is particular important as some of these projects (like Spring Boot 3,
 Hibernate 6) have already moved to Jakarta EE like we did with Wicket 10.

Attachment CD: Report from the Apache Yetus Project  [Allen Wittenauer]

## Description:
Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and
release processes for software projects.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, low activity
Issues for the board: None

In the last report the board asked the following question:

> It's been a long time since you have added any committer or
> PMC members. Do you have any candidates you can consider or
> perhaps it time to consider lowering the bar to those
> positions?

The vast majority of people who contribute that are not already
committers or PMC are "drive-by" contributors.  They submit one
or two patches and are never heard from again. Therefore, no,
there are no candidates in the pipeline and there are no considerations
for lowering the bar at the present time.

## Membership Data:
Apache Yetus was founded 2015-09-15 (8 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:

0.14.1 was released on 2022-10-17.

Work has started on getting a new release out soon-ish, primarily
geared towards updating the container images and a few tweaks for
private repositories.

## Community Health:

As usual when releases start to happen, activity goes up:

12 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (300% increase)
7 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (600% increase)

Attachment CE: Report from the Apache ZooKeeper Project  [Flavio Paiva Junqueira]

## Description:
Apache ZooKeeper is a system for distributed coordination. It enables
the implementation of a variety of primitives and mechanisms that are
critical for safety and liveness in distributed settings, e.g.,
distributed locks, master election, group membership, and configuration.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, moderate to low activity
Issues for the board: None

## Membership Data:
Apache ZooKeeper was founded 2010-11-17 (13 years ago)
There are currently 32 committers and 16 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Mate Szalay-Beko on 2022-03-28.
- Li Wang was added as committer on 2023-03-17

## Project Activity:
The most recent release is 3.8.1, which was released on 2023-01-30. There
is an ongoing thread about cutting a 3.9.0 major release, and minor releases
for the 3.7.and 3.8 branches.

## Community Health:
We have added a new committer, and the community is discussing the scope
and management of upcoming releases, major and minor. The dev traffic metrics
are low, and it is possibly due to the absence of release in the period. User
traffic has increased compared to the previous period.

- dev@zookeeper.apache.org had a 73% decrease in traffic
in the past quarter (47 emails compared to 168)
- notifications@zookeeper.apache.org had a 64% decrease
in traffic in the past quarter (131 emails compared to 359)
- user@zookeeper.apache.org had a 106% increase in traffic
in the past quarter (31 emails compared to 15)
- 23 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-32% change)
- 27 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-3% change)
- 7 commits in the past quarter (-91% change)
