4. Executive Officer Reports

    A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]

       Earlier this month we had our Annual Members Meeting.  I am happy to
       note that we could invite 60 new Members and welcome back 1 emeritus
       Member.

       The members had a reasonable number of candidates to chose from this
       round and we ended up with a new board composed of two new directors
       and seven that already served as director in a prior term:

          https://www.apache.org/history/directors.html

       I'd like to thank Bertrand Delacretaz for his for his commitment in
       serving on the board, and the contributions he has made during that
       time.  Similarly I would like to thank Sharan Foga for her dedication
       as well as the support she gave me as Vice Chair.

       And I'd like to welcome Jeff Jirsa and Jean-Baptiste Onofré.  They
       have already started to engage and put in effort into preparation for
       todays meeting.  I'm looking forward to hearing their views on items
       before the board.

       The process for the members meeting was the same as last year.  This
       time the messaging was clarified, and this helped with members getting
       attendence proxies and their votes in.  While I personally would call
       the meeting a success, I am still not happy with its synchronous
       nature, nor the platform we used.  When given the opportunity I will
       make further changes to solve these two aspects.

       Next month my focus is back on the board meetings.  I would like to
       resume our path of doing more asynchronously, and keep the Discussion
       Items section empty unless it is absolutely required to discuss
       something synchronously, e.g. because the topic requires executive
       session.

    B. President [David Nalley]

       I spent some time this month ensuring that our annual regulatory
       filings with the state of Delaware are complete and submitted.

       As indicated elsewhere, Mark Thomas and I attended CISA’s Open Source
       Security Summit representing the ASF. In addition to us, two other ASF
       members were present - Henri Yandell and Brian Fox, both representing
       their respective employers. We had a number of good conversations
       between other open source foundations and seniors members of the US
       federal government, including the Department of Homeland Security,
       Office of the National Cyber Director, Health and Human Services, and
       others. I had a chance to spend a brief amount of time with Eric
       Goldstein and Jen Easterly while they joined us.

       At the conclusion of the event, there was a table top exercise that
       explored security vulnerabilities, infrastructure outages and our
       ability to respond to it. This was a very valuable exercise, and I
       asked CISA if they would be willing to send their Table Top Exercise
       team to ApacheCon to run this scenario through with a couple of our
       projects, the security team, infrastructure, and M&P participating.
       They are tentatively planning on doing so, but I still have some
       coordination work to do with conferences and attendees.

       Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 9.


    C. Treasurer [Craig R. McClanahan]

       As with previous months, things continue to run smoothly.

       One task of note that was recently completed was filing our Form 990,
       the non-profit version of an income tax report, for the 2022-2023
       fiscal year.  The firm that had previously been preparing this report
       for us declined to do so this year, so IgniteSpot (which also does our
       day-to-day accounting) offered to do so, and I accepted the offer.

    D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]

       In February, the secretary received 50 ICLAs, 3 CCLAs, 4 software
       grants, and one membership emeritus request.

    E. Executive Vice President [Ruth Suehle]

       Good progress on the new logo project, as referenced in the M&P report. We have a couple of promising directions from the designer that maintain ties to our existing brand while moving us away from the feather imagery. 

       Community Over Code NA -- Still very light on sponsors compared to past years, which seems comparable to what other events are experiencing this year. However, I'm still holding on booking anything beyond core necessities until we see more promise of financial support on that. 

       Also starting to explore options for 2025 location.

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
==========
- Upcoming team meeting in Sacremento, California.

Finances
========
- We are tracking to our budget, and will start planning the FY25
  Infra budget shortly.

Long Range Priorities
=====================
- Artifact Distribution Platform
- Agenda Tool

General Activity
================
- Regular activity of upgrading boxes off Ubuntu 18.04 (EOL'd) onto
  22.04. This also allows us to move more boxes to LetsEncrypt for
  their TLS connections.
- We continue working on moving Jira and Confluence to the Atlassian
  cloud-based products. Greg met with our assigned Atlassian people at
  their office in Austin, Texas.
- More work on spam handling, DKIM, and DMARC.
- We have continued our Roundtable events each month, and are starting
  a monthly newsletter to reach out to our communities about Infra's
  activities.
- Added some monitoring of GitHub Action usage, as that is a single
  pool used by everybody. Tragedy of the Commons, and all that.

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

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

Comununity Over Code EU 2024
----------------------------

Applications closed, a judges call happened on the 3rd of March. Sixteen
people out of thirty six were accepted. One of those has since pulled out due
to changed circumstances. Some flights have already been booked, whilst other
people are in the process of applying for Visas. We have a Travel Agent
assisting with the intricacies of those applications and will book flights
using that Travel agent as Visas get approved.

Comununity Over Code Asia 2024
----------------------------

Applications are open and will close on the 8th of May. So far we have had 12
applications. Judges will be called for this event soon.


Comununity Over Code NA 2024
----------------------------

Applications will open on the 20th March and close on the 6th of May.

Monthly Meetings
================

For at least the run up to events, we will now hold monthly meetings on the
second Tuesday. With multiple events to support at the same time and different
people running each event we thought a monthly live call would compliment our
mailing list and Slack Channels. Any interested members or other Operations
folks are welcome to attend these.

TAC App
=======

TAC App is open and accepting applications. The app stability has improved
since it was migrated to a new VM in a different DC

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

Looking into a few other events as always. With 3 Community Over Code events
happening we may not have enough volunteer time to take on anything else
concurrent.

Short/Medium Term Priorities
============================

Keeping an eye out for other smaller events to support. We are keen to hear
about project events. Examples would be Flink Forward, Cassandra Summit etc.
Ideally we would have one TAC volunteer committee member look after these
smaller events and reach out to projects, and will pose that to the list.

Mailing List Activity
=====================

Discussions happening around current and future events, call for judges etc.

Membership
==========

No changes to the membership this month.

Attachment 9: Report from the VP of Public Affairs  [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

With the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) now through final vote
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/PV-9-2024-03-12-ITM-008-11_EN.html
(icons at top of page to select a language - e.g. in English:
 https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2024-0130_EN.pdf)- all
 that now we’re waiting for is the publication in the official journal to
 anchor the various legal `in-effect' dates.  Meanwhile the Product Liability
 Directive (PLD) is proceeding apace. The EU interoperability-act and the
 Artificial Intelligence (AI) act cleared the Parliament March 13
 (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/PV-9-2024-03-13-RCV_EN.html).
  The Standards Essential Patents Regulation (SEP) also cleared parliament -
  and while not ideal - it is not a disaster for open source either.

With that, the focus for the CRA is now firmly shifted towards implementation.
There are several things going on here in parallel.

First - we’re working with our peers (i.e. well-governed open source
organisations that are likely to meet the not-yet-created definition of an
open source steward) to see of we can take the `good things’ we do today
around security, triage, releases, CVEs and so on - and officially define
these as industry best practice baseline.

So this is nothing new (for us) - but does formalize things like; `triage
vulnerability reports according to risk & fast track if needed', `fix issues',
do not release code with known issues, move a project to the Attic if no longer
maintained, do responsible/coordinated disclosure, etc. And we want to make
these more formal. Using bits from ISO 27001 or ISO 29147 & right-size these
to the open source steward role.

Secondly - we met with various European Commission Directorates' experts
and European Standards Organisations (ESOs) folks face to face in the last
weeks. News here was not overly good - they fully understand the
dichotomy in open source: its role -- I.e of us being something both akin to an
extension/core of the industry; and also akin to citizens/society
organisation where people, rather than companies, build something collectively.
- the other shoe has not quite dropped yet. I.e. that open-source is not just
  another (national) company that can work with (national) interests to do the
  right things in CEN/CENELEC or other ESOs. This is even more important as
  increasingly the ESOs are not standardising fairly value neutral things such
  as how to measure the fire-proofness of a wall in hours or the frequency
  deviation (all measurable with normal objective `kit' such as a stopwatch or
  an oscilloscope) -- but things such as `what is the right way to balance
  privacy v.s. security'.  And this is made worse as there is not much `open'
  to the process of creating 'open standards'.

That said - in a bit of good news - open standards have become a bit more open
-- the wonderful Carl Malamud fought all the way to the European Court of
   Justice to get citizen free/unfettered access to harmonised standards that
   are, essentially, part of the law. (Background - unlike the IETF(RFC) and
   W3C standards that rule the IT world - most ISO, CEN and similar standards
   are behind a paywall).
   https://www.eff.org/press/releases/appeals-court-upholds-publicresourceorgs-right-post-public-laws-and-regulations

The other issue of concern is that, for the CRA, the EC expects CENELEC to
deliver. However, the recent effort of CEN/CENELEC to deliver on the Radio
Emission Directive (RED) saw CENELEC (in their own words) deliver late and
with sub-par standard processes and sub-standard quality standards. And they
(fairly) point at the lack of time and lack of volunteers. This despite RED
aligning with their traditional expertise and community. The CRA effort is, I
think, significantly larger than RED. And their community has not yet
attracted the needed people and expertise. And there is less time. Basically -
CENELEC hails from the world of Information Communication Technology; with a
lot of emphasis on that 'C' of Communications. Whereas open source is largely
the world of (generic) IT. I.e. higher on the stack (also from a political &
consumer perspective).

Also f importance here is that the US, at these meetings, indicated that
while it agrees on the CRA outcome, it is not married to the EU Standard
approach. The US will do its own thing and was quite clear that it is perfectly
willing to have the US National Institute for Standards and Technology
(NIST) directly author/create these.

Thirdly - I am talking to the other open source foundations and OFE to see if
we can help our community help itself by including EU companies in our
communities in the various funding rounds that are available to evaluate the
impact of the CRA, to create the tooling needed at Micro-, Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs), to evaluate that tooling and so on. This is a bit slow
going. Part of the complexity is that we, as a USA organisation, and a
volunteer organisation are not practically eligible for anything. This is
rather sad - as arguably we'd be in a great position to help our community
help itself if we could work at the aggregate level.

So much for the CRA.

On AI not much to report - for the ASF Michael Wechner is keeping an eye on
this for us. Vote in the parliament just passed - with final language versions
still appearing.
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/PV-9-2024-03-13-RCV_EN.html
That means it will start to go into full force well before the end of the year
(for high risk) AI.

Similar for the Interoperability Act, which will require the EU to form an
interoperability expert community that includes open source. Not sure if the
ASF has the volunteering capacity in Europe for that.

Product Liability Directive (PLD) - similar situation - probably going to be
voted through by the parliament mid April - and it is therefore likely that it
will not benefit from the better definitions of open source stewards in the CRA.
This will cause noise; especially for our downstream community.

The Standard Essential Patents Regulation went through the European Parliament
much faster than expected. Overall it is in a reasonable state from the ASF
perspective. We currently lack volunteers here to really contribute/help right
the wrongs. But OFE is coordinating good work here from the likes of OSI and
other experts.

Finally - Regulation 1025 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2012/1025/oj
that defines how standards are managed & the level of access by industry and
civil society is up for renewal/updating. When it was originally written, free
and open source software was more seen as a business-model/variation of normal
corporate activity. I.e. a special, small, form of commercial activity. And
Information, Communication Technology (ICT) standards something else. With
companies firmly in charge of this field.

Today the situation is almost reversed - with 95% of products with digital
elements being open source that is shared across products. And general
Information Technology (IT, so without the C) far eclipsing ICT. Several of
our peer orgs are trying to get involved and help modernise this. I will try
to see if we can get expert volunteering for this in the ASF - but am
expecting that resource constraints mean that we are leaving this to the
organizations around OFE and the more expert players in our downstream industry.

As for the US - I'll let David report on that.

Attachment 11: 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 issues.

M&P reached out to VP Legal regarding clarifying implications for running
sweepstakes. We reviewed the proposed T&Cs and suggested one small
clarification. Other than that this project is good to go from our
perspective.

Attachment 12: Report from the Apache Security Team Project  [Mark J. Cox]

- Apache Archiva retired to the Attic with a number of open security
  reports. We took care of publishing advisories for those.

- Apache Ambari has published advisories for all issues that were
  previously briefly prematurely disclosed by a third party. We're
  still planning a retrospective to ensure the communication
  expectations are understood.

- We looked into the Cc/Reply-to issue that is causing issues with
  emails not being delivered to GMail mailboxes, which also affects
  security reports.

- We reviewed the preliminary report of the OSTIF audit of several
  Apache Commons components and provided feedback.

- We worked with the Santuario project to improve the messaging around
  the XML Security for C++ project.

- We provided input to Infra on how to improve the security and
  privacy of Apache project websites by applying an Apache-wide
  default Content-Security-Policy header (INFRA-25518).

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 (High activity)
Issues for the board: No issues worth board attention

## Membership Data:
Apache Airflow was founded 2018-12-19 (5 years ago)
There are currently 61 committers and 33 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Andrey Anshin was added to the PMC on 2024-01-15
- No new committers. Last addition was Utkarsh Sharma on 2023-11-29.

## Project Activity:

* We continue the steady release of bug fixes (2.8.*) and new feature releases
(2.9) as well as regular Provider releases, Helm Chart and Python client.

* Security: We achieved 100% artifacts build reproducibility - for Airflow, 90
  providers, Helm Chart and Python client. We continue processing the security
  issues in a reasonable time, we have a strong response team that reacts
  quickly for severe issues (including one false alert where we were mislead
  by reporter description that project is much more severe, but we’ve been
  cooperating with Apache Superset (same component was vulnerable) and we
  managed to jointly work out good and reasonable response without unnecessary
  alerting our users. Work is ongoing on finishing what had been started with
  Sovereign Tech Fund with the goal of setting an example of being “CRA ready”
  long before CRA will even be defined. We introduced rotation of security
  team members and some of the new members are actively engaged in solving and
  triaging the issues already.
* Upcoming 2.9 release is packed with features - we continue to evolve Airflow
  and do not let it stagnate, even with its 10 years history and incumbent
  status, we have quite a few new AIP(s) Airflow Improvement Proposals that we
  actively discuss and implement, and we continuously modernize both internal
  (CI/Development tools, new Contributor’s experience) as well as user-facing
   side of Airflow. We’ve almost completed modern UI rewrite of Airflow
   resulting with slick and coherent, responsive application, we are also
   strengthening our Data-Driven Scheduling Capabilities, Several improvements
   we developed over last few years got to the point that they allow for great
   synergies between then and with new improvements coming, and we seem to
   continue innovating with increasing speed
- which seems like quite an achievement for 10 years old software. We started
  to address some of the problems that we had no capacity or energy for but
  they were highly requested by our users (e.g. DAG versioning)

* The most active initiatives - interestingly enough a number of those are
  driven by individuals with very diverse affiliations - including some
  newcomers, but we also have a few people who return to active contributions
  after being away or less active for a while.
  * AIP-49: OTEL Traces
  * AIP-57: Refactor SLA feature
  * AIP-58 Airflow ObjectStore (AS)
  * AIP-61: Hybrid Execution
  * AIP-62: Getting Lineage from Hook instrumentation
  * AIP-63: DAG Versioning (3 sub-DAGs AIP-64,65,66)
  * AIP-67: Multi-Tenancy in Airflow

* We started regular Town-Hall online meetings (three meetings already). We
  still have to see the effect of it but Briana Okyere
  (Astronomer employee) who took the role of Community Manager is very visible
   and impactful in the community leading a number of initiatives - like Town
   Hall, PR of the month, Meetups, working on Airflow Summit, Monthly
   newsletters, proposing code of conduct and much more.
* PMC is aware of the “Astronomer Champion for Apache Airflow” that Astronomer
  proposed and discussed as potentially a program run by and with the PMC.
  Following our advice, Astronomer’s team reached out to trademarks@a.o and
  after considering various options and avoiding potential contention with
  “Apache Way” of running the project, they decided to run it as entirely
  “Astronomer’s” program. It’s being mentioned in community communications
  (including Town Hall Meetings and newsletters) but with clear Astronomer’s
  affiliation and without PMC involvement nor endorsement.
* We cleaned up some of the “baggage” - remove out and outdated providers from
  active maintenance (except security fixes) and we continue extracting old
  and “legacy” part of Airflow to separated providers and replace those with
  new, modern solutions (Flask Application Builder which brings a lot of
  security issues, gets in direction of being optional part of Airflow).
* We accepted contributions of a few providers - which we are usually quite
  reluctant about - from well respected entities (Teradata, Qdrant - popular
  vector database) which puts Airflow squarely in the middle of the AI
  revolution - our users seems to use Airflow more and more to orchestrate
  their AI related tasks (seems they fit nicely into Airflow’s architecture
  and strengths - which we also plant to strengthen even more).

## Events

* The Airflow Summit 2024 will be held on September 10-12, 2024, in San
  Francisco. The event will mark the 10th Anniversary of Airflow (since the
  first commit) and this is going to be the main theme of Airflow Summit
“Celebrating 10 years of Airflow”. Organizers aim for 800 - 1000 people, we
 already secured quite a good funding for that and we have requests from new
 Sponsors who are interested in sponsoring the event where Airflow users are
 in big numbers. Organizers of the Airflow Summit (Google, Astronomer and AWS)
 work closely with Producers (Software Guru) and the PMC to make this a
 successful event, where we will be able to join the expectations of
 Stakeholders but also reserve a big part of the event for Community driven
 efforts. Despite initial delays (reported in the previous report), with
 confirming date and getting permission from the Conferencing team we opened
 CFP and we are about to finish first round targeting people who need Visas to
 get to the US, so that we can confirm it in March, giving them at least 5
 months to be able to obtain Visas which we consider as very important aspect
 of our community efforts.

* We had a number of local Airflow Meetups: London, Cincinnati, and New York,
  São Paulo, Prague, Hyderabad, Bangalore, planning new events in Warsaw
* Our community members gave talks all over the world - from Las Vegas, to
  Brussels (two talks at FOSDEM), Bangalore and more.

## Community Health:

- We exceeded the milestone of 2800 contributors on GitHub this month (2700 in
  the last report). We see continuous interest in new contributors joining
  Airflow We have regular monthly newsletter and voting on PR of the month
  that regularly gets somewhat enthusiastic reactions from the community

- We continue getting new publications at our medium publication
  https://medium.com/apache-airflow - whooping 10 new publications since last
  report by various contributors

- We came back to Mentorship - we have MLH (Major League Hacking) sponsoring
  two interns (by Royal Bank of Canada) who work together (and showing good
  progress) on important component of Airflow (API/Connexion) that requires a
  major upgrade to free us from being depended on old dependencies with known
  security vulnerabilities. They are mentored by few mentors - some more and
  some less experienced people in our contributors / committers group.

## Project state: Ongoing, with moderate activity

## Health report:

Development continues in Axis2 Java for the transition to jakarta and also
from httpclient4 to httpclient5 as described in AXIS2-6051. We are about 80%
done.

A major refactoring continues of our sub project Apache Rampart - an
implementation of WS-Security standards - that was required from commits
upgrading OpenSAML from 2.x to 4.3.0, and Apache WS-WSS4J from 1.6 to 3.0.0.

More pull requests were received for Rampart. See RAMPART-449. Challenges for
this project includes no active committers use Rampart in their own projects.

We continue to get interest in our upcoming releases and have asked volunteers
to become committers in AXIS2-6051 and RAMPART-449. One individual reached
out, a vote passed though they never followed thru with an accept reply and
stopped responding to emails.

Axis2 C PMC member Bill Blough continues to help users on the mailing list and
he also participates in release votes.

- We released Camel 3.22.0
- We released Camel 3.22.1
- We released Camel 4.0.4
- We released Camel 4.3.0
- We released Camel 4.4.0
- 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.
- The 4.4.x release is our LTS release train and we are already working on
  4.4.1 and next development release 4.5.0
- We continued the release train for 3.21.x LTS
- The 3.22.x release train is another LTS we are supporting
- The situation is really healthy and the community is super. We are
  introducing many new features and working on engaging the community more.

Apache Camel K:
- For Camel K we released a 2.2.0 version with a lot of good stuff.
- For Camel-K-runtime we released 3.2.3 and 3.6.0, both the releases were on
  vote at the time of writing of the last report.
- Camel K is in good shape and the community is expading with new contributors
  and many new good idea.

Apache Camel Kamelets:
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.0.3
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.4.0
- The 4.4.0 release is matching the LTS release from Camel core and it's an
  important building block for starting with routes
- We introduced a lot of new Kamelets and we are improving the documentation

Apache Camel Quarkus:
- The Camel-Quarkus work is going ahead following the main camel releases with
  multiple releases
- We released Camel-quarkus 3.7.0
- We released Camel-quarkus 3.8.0

Camel-Kafka-Connector:
- Camel Kafka Connector release based on Camel 4.0.3 has been released.
- We plan to release a 4.4.0 to match the LTS release from camel core
- The community is active and we receive a lot of feedback and requests

Overall:
- The Camel project and all the subprojects are in a really good shape and all
  of them are growing in terms of community involvement.

## Community Health:
- 303 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (8% decrease) and 277 issues
  closed on GitHub, past quarter (18% decrease): Some of the subproject are
  using github issues, but Camel core is still on JIRA. We focused mostly on
  the LTS 4.4.x and some of the Github Issues based projects were focused on
  backlog activities and alignments, like for example Camel K.
- 4835 commits in the past quarter (2% decrease) and 103 code contributors in
  the past quarter (13% decrease): We are more or less in line with the last
  quarter, we were a lot focused on more features for 4.4.x and the number of
  code contributors is justified by the fact we were stabilizing the codebase.
- 1714 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (6% decrease) and 1726 PRs closed on
  GitHub, past quarter (5% decrease): Here we are more or less in line with
  the last quarter. The situation is really good and we are observing more
  engagement in open PRs.
- dev@camel.apache.org had a 21% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (330
  emails compared to 416): There was a spike in December and now we are back
  at usual level. We are discussing some release scheduling in dev ML and we
  noticed many developers prefer to discuss directly in Zulip.
- issues@camel.apache.org had a 18% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
  (2423 emails compared to 2935): We were focusing on backlog and the clean up
   done in the last quarter justify the decrease.
- users@camel.apache.org had a 18% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
  (202 emails compared to 245): Users are starting to move and ask questions
   on Zulip, like the discussion for development. 
- Jira Activity: The number doesn't seem to be accurate in the statistics
  page. It reports 0 issues opened and 0 closed. Closing the subscriptions to
  Apache JIRA contributed to the decrease of numbers. I'll try to gather more
  stats in the next report.

Attachment R: 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:
Current project status: The project is healthy based on ongoing activity and
releases.

The DFDL Standard from the Open Grid Forum (OGF) was accepted as ISO/IEC 23415
(say "Eye-so two thirty-four fifteen") in December 2023. Publication of an
official ISO version of the standard is in process.

The last release was Daffodil version 3.6.0 which was released on 2023-10-27.
Release 3.7.0 is planned for later this month.  This should enable completion
of the our first tight inter-project integration which is with Apache Drill.

The last release of the VSCode extension for Daffodil version 1.3.1 was
2023-09-12. Release v1.4.0 is planned for March/April 2024 timeframe.

Issues for the board: none.

## Membership Data: 
Apache Daffodil was founded 2021-02-16 (3 years ago)

There are currently 19 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The
Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- A new committer and PMC member, Peter Katlic, has just accepted and is in
  process of being added (ICLA etc. in the works)
- last prior addition was Regis Thomas on 2023-08-01.

## Project Activity:
Collaboration on the Drill connector to Daffodil will resume once
3.7.0 is released.

A minor observation is that much of the VSCode extension discussion happens on
commits threads, not dev. It is recorded in the github traffic on issue
tickets and PRs. Hence, volume of emails on our dev list alone are not
sufficient to understand the level of activity on the project as a whole which
is robust.

## Community Health:
Activity level is acceptable and our metrics reflect that, but overall there
is good participation.

## Project Activity:
We are overdue for the release od Drill 1.21.2 AND 1.22.0.  Regarding the minor
release, we had a license file issue which took some time to resolve and then 
we've had a number of recent bug submissions which were promptly fixed.  I would
anticipate 1.21.1 being released before the end of the month.  

For 1.22, we have been collaborating with the Mike Bekerle from Daffodil.  
The goal is to use Apache Daffodil to provide schema information to Drill for 
querying non-traditional files.  We're waiting for the release of Daffodil 3.7
which has some functionalities that we need for the integration. Hopefully this
month or next we will be able to complete this work.

Recent releases:

1.21.1 was released on 2023-04-29.
1.21.0 was released on 2023-02-21.

Attachment U: Report from the Apache ECharts Project  [Wenli Zhang]

## Description:
The mission of Apache ECharts is the creation and maintenance of software 
related to a charting and data visualization library written in JavaScript

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing: With moderate activity both in code and 
the community
Issues for the board: NA

## Membership Data:
Apache ECharts was founded 2020-12-16 (3 years ago)
There are currently 29 committers and 14 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 He Hao on 2022-07-06.
- No new committers. Last addition was Linghao Su on 2023-08-01.

## Project Activity:
The project status is actively developing with the recent release of Apache 
ECharts 5.5.0 on 2024-02-18, which included several new features and 
enhancements. The development team has implemented changes to the default ESM 
package, added server-side rendering and client hydration capabilities, and 
introduced support for multi-level drill-down transitions. Additionally, new 
options such as padAngle and endAngle control for pie charts and 
angleAxis.endAngle setting for polar charts have been added to improve user 
experience.

## Community Health:
The community is developing stably. The Apache ECharts project has seen an 
increase in traffic on the dev@echarts.apache.org mailing list and commits on 
GitHub in the past quarter, indicating growing interest and active development.
 However, there has been a decrease in the number of code contributors and 
negative changes in the number of opened and closed pull requests and issues on 
GitHub. We should focus on encouraging people in the community to contribute.

Attachment X: Report from the Apache Flink Project  [Robert Metzger]

## Description:
The mission of Flink is the creation and maintenance of software related to 
platform for scalable batch and stream data processing

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

## Membership Data:
Apache Flink was founded 2014-12-17 (9 years ago)
There are currently 109 committers and 48 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:3.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Matthias Pohl on 2023-08-03.
- Alexander Fedulov as invited as committer on 2023-12-22
- Jiabao Sun was added as committer on 2024-02-09
- Mason Chen was invited as committer on 2024-02-13

The Flink PMC is actively monitoring and discussing new PMC and committers.

## Project Activity:

Recent releases:
* Flink 1.18.1 was released on 2024-01-19
* connector-parent-1.1.0 was released on 2024-02-28.
* connector-mongodb-1.1.0 was released on 2024-02-19
* connector-jdbc-3.1.2 was released on 2024-02-21.
* connector-opensearch-1.1.0 was released on 2024-02-01.
* gcp-pubsub-3.0.2 was released on 2024-01-12.
* shaded-18.0 was released on 2024-01-11.

The PMC approved a request for Flink Forward Asia 2024 by Alibaba.

There were two security reports to the PMC, which were handled.

Ververica started a discussion to contribute the Flink CDC connectors
to Flink. The Flink community happily accepted this adoption of a new codebase
into the project, as CDC use cases with Flink SQL are very popular in the 
user base.

Flink started participating in the trial of the ASF Infra provided GitHub
Actions runners.

## Community Health:
The Flink community is healthy and active.
In the last report, we had a 14% activity increase on the dev@ mailing list,
this reporting cycle, the increase is 6%. We anticipate the activity to
increase or stay at this level as there are major projects around
Flink 2.0 ongoing.
The code commit activity is also going up.
The only metric that is going down is the user@ mailing list (-37%), which is 
probably primarily driven by a shift towards the Flink Community Slack, and also
in less activity by experienced community members on the user@ list.

Attachment Z: Report from the Apache Geronimo Project  [Jean-Louis Monteiro]

## Description:
The mission of Geronimo is the creation and maintenance of software related to 
Java2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) container

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

## Membership Data:
Apache Geronimo was founded 2004-05-26 (20 years ago)
There are currently 71 committers and 41 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 Francois Papon on 2021-03-09.
- No new committers. Last addition was Francois Papon on 2021-03-09.

## Project Activity:
The main activity is maintenance. There are a few new features and work to
bring Geronimo components to the specification level required. Some projects
are already starting to work on Jakarta EE 11 even though it's not released.

## Community Health:
The overall activity remains low. As per the board feedback, we could avoid
spliting community and better use the current community time by merging the
mailing lists. It does not make much sense to keep them all apart. In terms of
moving to atic, there have been many discussions over time, and eveytime this
is mentioned, it feels like everyone jumps into the thread with a lot of good
reasons to not move it to atic. But when it tends to actually work on the
project, there is far less people. We had some recent discussions though and a
solid list of people (PMC and committers) are still responsive, voting and
wiling to discuss which is important. We even discussed about getting a PMC.
member. The project itself is used very widely, like the Mail provider,
or the Transaction manager for instance, they are used in many other Apache
projects or outside. This is also true with the specs.

## Project Activity:
- Received several contributions from external people.
- Even though there are no concrete plans yet, We are exploring possibilities 
 in participating in this years GSoC programme. 
- Except for work carried out related to GSoC project past quarters,
 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 low 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. We are hoping to increase the 
 level of activity in the project with GSoC preparation and next release work.

Current project status: Ongoing, with moderate activity.
Issues for the board: none.

## Membership Data:
Apache Guacamole was founded 2017-11-14 (6 years ago)
There are currently 15 committers and 10 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Luke on 2023-02-22.
- No new committers. Last addition was Alexander Leitner on 2023-11-13.

## Project Activity:
The project is finalizing its next release (1.5.5) and looks to be roughly a
week away from a first RC. To help larger ongoing development tasks move
forward, a new branching scheme has been adopted which replaces the single
"master" development line with "patch" (trivial changes), "main" (minor
 changes), and "next" (major, possibly-breaking changes). With this new
 branching scheme in mind, the initial scopes of future releases 1.6.0 and
 2.0.0 have also been laid out.

Recent releases:
- 1.5.4 was released on 2023-12-07.
- 1.5.3 was released on 2023-07-31.
- 1.5.2 was released on 2023-05-25.

## Community Health:
The community continues to be active and healthy. There has been an uptick in
both the number of contributors (+20%) and user mailing list activity (+9%).
Those upticks do not appear to correlate with any specific project action beyond
continuing to serve the needs of a healthy community.

Attachment AD: 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. 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.

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 five+ years.

Attachment AF: Report from the Apache Helix Project  [Junkai Xue]

## Description:
The mission of Helix is the creation and maintenance of software related to A 
cluster management framework for partitioned and replicated distributed 
resources

## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing, moderate
Issues for the board: Limited UI experts for UI support.
Due to role of product and lack of experts in UI, we are thinking of deprecating
UI support.

## Membership Data:
Apache Helix was founded 2013-12-17 (10 years ago)
There are currently 28 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

 - 1.1.0 was released on 2023-01-04.
 - 1.0.4 was released on 2022-06-09.

## Community Health:
Overall activities:
- 82 commits in the past quarter.(12% increase)
- 14 code contributors in the past quarter (16% increase)
- Closed all issues which have not updated from 2022 as they are either 
non-critical or even logic outdated.

Would like to share some update for following topics:
1. Release
Current release is onholding for completion of the feature. The feature was 
supporting operations in Helix like draining partitions, 1-1 instance swaps.
We would like to give user an unified experience in API instead of breaking
things in the middle. Some changes will be completed in this quarter and move
forward for releasing.

2. UI issues
We do encounter an problem mentioned in issue section. We had limited
contributors in UI. And ALL CVE issues are coming from UI. It is hard for
us to maintain the UI. In addition, UI is just a nice to have product. We
are thinking to deprecate the support.

3. Next gen of shard management
Existing Helix is heavy and complicated. It is not user friendly to most of
lightweight use cases. We are in planning of proposing some lightweight version
in Helix and making sure it converging with Helix with leverage.

4. Other continuous improvments
- Fixing unstable tests
- Adding container world support features and so on.

(which usually have decreased activity) and a huge increase in mailing list
traffic (60%) because the community has been having many design discussions
about evolving the REST spec, introducing new specs (materialized views), and
discussions around how to keep track of new design proposals.

The community also started organizing an Iceberg Summit, to be held May 14-15.
The summit has been cleared by trademarks and the call for proposals has been
posted. More information can be found at:

## 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. Reviewing the changes made to make the code and documentation website 
  compliant with Apache standards

  2. Growing the community

  3. Making releases

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

  We underestimated the effort required to make the project compliant with
  Apache guidelines.
  In particular, some datasets used in the code (EPSG) and in the tests
  (OpenStreetMap, NaturalEarth, Ripe, etc.) were causing licensing issues.
  We hope that closing these issues will help us increase the release
  frequency and focus on growing the community.

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

  No new committer joined the project.

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

  We have now been able to remove all the licensed datasets with synthetic
  ones, and we should be able to remove the disclaimer-wip soon.
  We improved the style and the tileset of the basemap.
  We introduced a new workflow for the daylight map distribution (Microsoft
  and Google Building Footprints, Facebook Experimental ML Roads, etc.)[1,2].
  We added support for the PMTiles format.

KIE (Knowledge is Everything) is a community of solutions and supporting
tooling for knowledge engineering and process automation, focusing on
events, rules, and workflows.

KIE has been incubating since 2023-01-13.

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

  1. Releasing our first Apache release. 
  2. Continuing to build the community. 
  3. Improve the website.

### 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?  

  We added a new committer and we published a basic Apache website. We're
  also having weekly calls via Zoom, available for everyone to attend.
  Minutes and agendas are available on GitHub for all to read and add to.

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

  We're ever moving toward our first release. Hopefully, we'll have that
  started and voted on by the next report. The community is growing slowly
  but still growing. I believe the main contributors are really learning how
  the mailing lists work and how things are done at the ASF. Alex opened a
  discussion on the general incubator list about a dependency issue, thank
  you for those who contributed to the discussion.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
  Please feel free to add your own commentary.

  - [X] Initial setup
  - [o] Working towards first release - Ongoing
  - [o] Community building - Stable and Ongoing
  - [ ] Nearing graduation - No
  - [ ] Other: - No

### Date of last release:

  N/A, hopefully soon

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?  

  Earlier in February 2024.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

  Mentors have been very helpful. We're getting to the point of not having to
  ask them much, it feels good.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

  Yes, branding has not been a problem. Names, brands, trademarks, etc. are
  doing fine. The ASF isn't managing it just yet, won't until we graduate, as
  per the agreement with Red Hat and IBM.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

  jmclean: Zoom and timezones, by their very nature, make it impossible for
  everyone to attend. It good that the minutes are put where everyone can see
  them, but take care you are not excluding any of your community.

--------------------
## Nemo

Nemo is a data processing system to flexibly control the runtime behaviors
of a job to adapt to varying deployment characteristics.

Nemo has been incubating since 2018-02-04.

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

  1. Motivate growth in the community
  2. Address remaining items before graduation   

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

  The issue raised in our previous podling report (Dec. 2023) still exists. 
  This is a project initiated from academia, and many of the committers have
  graduated with their degree and moved
  on to something else. The project itself is very promising, known that 
  many outstanding academic papers have been developed on top of Apache Nemo
  [1-5], so it would be ideal
  if it finds its purpose, however it seems quite challenging at this 
  particular moment. It is quite disappointing to see the project lose its
  momentum during the covid-19
  pandemics, which made it extremely challenging for us to build the 
  community. Nevertheless, the project itself, I believe, deserved to be in
  the TLP, but it seems like if
  there is no breakpoint for the project regarding the project community, I 
  think we could start discussing about sending it to the attic. Any
  suggestions or opinions are welcome!

is a long holiday in this quarter.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment AM: 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 (18 years ago).

There are currently 59 committers and 59 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1, because all committers automatically
become PMC members.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Nuno Santos on 2023-11-14.
- No new committers. Last addition was Nuno Santos on 2023-11-13.

## 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 website sources were migrated from SVN to Git in January.
Due to its size, the generated website content still resides in SVN.

In January the team voted to require Java 11 for the next feature
release of Apache Jackrabbit (2.22.0).

RMI support in Apache Jackrabbit was deprecated in February and the
feature will be removed in the next feature release.

## 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. 

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-2.20.14 was released on 2024-01-11
- jackrabbit-2.21.23 was released on 2024-02-08
- jackrabbit-2.21.25 was released on 2024-02-26

## JIRA activity:

- 147 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 114 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Attachment AS: Report from the Apache Logging Services Project  [Volkan Yazici]

## Description:
The mission of the Apache Logging Services project is to create and maintain
software for managing the logging of application behavior, and for related
software components.

## Project Status:
- Log4j project, and its children Log4j Kotlin and Log4j Scala, are
  "ongoing" with high activity.
- Log4cxx is "ongoing" with high activity.
- Log4net is, as was in the last report, "at risk", since
  it hardly gets updated and is maintained by 1 PMC member
  (davydm) and a new committer (freeandnil).
- Log4j Audit project is "at risk". There has not been any
  activity in the last several years.
- Flume project is "at risk". There has not been any activity
  in the last several years, even after merging PMCs.
- The September 2023 attempt[1] to move Chainsaw to dormant status
  had failed. A recent second attempt turned out to be a success[2].

[2] https://lists.apache.org/thread/29kx7oclwo7r16f7l4wk4w1pwtkk500z

## Membership Data:
There are currently 45 committers and 22 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- [Flume] Balázs Donát Bessenyei was added to the PMC on 2023-11-17
- [Flume] Juhani Connolly was added to the PMC on 2023-11-17
- [Flume] Mike Percy was added to the PMC on 2023-11-17
- [Log4cxx] Stephen Webb was added to the PMC on 2023-11-24
- [Flume] Tristan Stevens was added to the PMC on 2023-11-17
- [Flume] Balázs Donát Bessenyei was added as committer on 2023-11-17
- [Flume] Juhani Connolly was added as committer on 2023-11-17
- [Flume] Mike Percy was added as committer on 2023-11-17
- [Flume] Tristan Stevens was added as committer on 2023-11-17
- [Log4net] Fred am Nil was added as committer on 2024-02-09

Except Stephen Webb and Fred am Nil, the rest of the added PMC
members were due to the merge of Flume with Logging Services.

## Project Activity:
- Stephen Webb has been a long time log4cxx committer. Upon PMCs
  ask, he agreed to join the PMC. Since then, he has been raining
  commits on log4cxx! Recently released log4cxx `1.2.0` is a vivid
  demonstration of the strong development efforts.
- After being explicitly asked[1], Fred am Nil, a long time Log4net
  contributor, volunteered to join Log4net as a committer.
- Released Log4j `2.22.0`[2] marks the first version with a
  CycloneDX-based SBOM and VDR support. This work is supervised
  by Hervé Boutemy (from Maven PMC) and Steve Springett (Chair
  of CycloneDX SBOM Standard). This collaboration resulted in
  Logging Services PMC contributing several improvements to
  `cyclonedx-maven-plugin`. (Log4j `2.23.0` and `3.0.0-beta2`
  were released since then.)
- Log4j crew is trying hard to give birth to Log4j 3.
  Intensive labor is going on to get the associated branch (i.e.,
  `main`) ready for a major release. `main` was forked from
  `2.x` ~6 years ago. In the meantime, `main` was subject to
  several major experiments: new DI system, new property system,
  etc. Next to that, if not all, several `2.x` changes were never
  ported to `main`. There is a big "porting stuff from `2.x` to
  `main`" plumbing going on.
- Log4j team has agreed to not release a new Log4j 3 API, but
  embrace the Log4j 2 API as "the Log4j API"[3]. That is, Log4j 3
  version will target the Log4j 2 API. This happy news for users
  translates to more work for Log4j 3 release preparations.

Issues for the board: none

## Membership Data:
Apache Lucene was founded 2005-01-19 (19 years ago)
There are currently 100 committers and 68 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Ben Trent was added to the PMC on 2024-02-22
- Stefan Vodita was added as committer on 2024-01-18

future next major release (Lucene 10), to a minimum of Java 21.   

## Community Health:

Community interactions remain very healthy, with good activity in all areas
(discussions, PRs, etc).
- The dev@ mailing list had a moderate decrease of 12% in traffic compared
  to last quarter (326 emails compared to 367). There were no particularly
  contentious topics, but rather a healthy amount of discussion on a breadth
  of subjects (and welcoming our newest committers!) The moderate decrease
  is likely due to the holiday period.
- Development remains very active. In this quarter:
  - 472 commits across all branches
  - 196 PRs opened
  - 161 PRs closed
  - This is down a little from the previous quarter, but still very healthy.
- PR volume remains healthy, with open PRs trending in a steady state
  while closed PRs continue to increase at the same trend
  (https://home.apache.org/~mikemccand/lucenebench/github_pr_counts.html).

Additionally:

1. Lucene now has a Githubsearch, that supports drilling down on PRs
and issues, filtering by author, reviewer requested, time open, etc. This
showcases many fun features from Lucene itself, and could be of interest to
other projects wanting similar functionality. The announce message has more
details, see https://lists.apache.org/thread/gjjz3bfdxxh2w30yypyj8m8qqbl9ph2t

2. Inspired by an Apache Beam talk at Community Over Code in Halifax, we
enabled Github's "stale PR" functionality, which keeps track of PRs that
are not making progress, which in turn helps reduce response times for
contributions.

review, OpenNLP support, .NET 8 testing, and various other code correctness
and cleanup issues.

## Community Health:
As mentioned in the prior status report, most community discussions have been
moving to GitHub rather than the mailing list. There have been some new issues
opened with good discussion around them. PRs have mostly been among PMC
members with a few from the community since the last report.

Attachment AX: 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:

## Project Activity:
- Apache NetBeans 21 was released on 2024-02-20.
- Release notes: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/releases/tag/21
- Neil C. Smith, who has been tirelessly driving the release process over the
  past years, is taking a step back (many thanks for your great work and
  please do stick around!), and we'll need to pull together as a community to
  fill the gap, with Eric Barboni on point for the next release, as scheduled:
  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Release+Schedule
- Background on the above item: though we of course work together as a
  community on the releases, having one or two people on point as a center for
  co-ordinating activities, has worked well for us so far.

## Community Health:
- Consistently between 20 and 30 committers contribute to each release,
  including three to five new committers per release, so that's very nice. For
  example, see these stats at the end, as an example:
  https://github.com/apache/netbeans/releases/tag/21
- users@netbeans.apache.org had a 86% increase in traffic in the past quarter
  (296 emails compared to 159)
- dev@netbeans.apache.org had a 44% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
  (148 emails compared to 263)

Attachment BA: Report from the Apache OpenDAL Project  [Hao Ding]

## Description:

Apache OpenDAL is a data access layer that allows users to easily and
efficiently retrieve data from various storage services in a unified way.

Its vision centers on enabling **access data freely**, with the goal of
empowering ALL users to freely access ANY storage service in ANY way they
choose.

## Project Status:

Current project status: New
Issues for the board: None

## Membership Data:

Apache OpenDAL was founded 2024-01-17 (2 months ago)
There are currently 22 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Liuqing Yue was added to the PMC on 2024-01-22
- Yang Shuai was added as committer on 2024-01-23

## Project Activity:

OpenDAL community made one releases since last report (2024-02):

- 0.45.1 was released on 2024-03-02.

The OpenDAL community participates in GSoC events and has submitted three
ideas. We've gained new contributors, some of whom we anticipate will become
new committers to OpenDAL.

## Community Health:

### Mailing List

dev@opendal.apache.org had a 40% increase in traffic in the past quarter (210
emails compared to 150)

As GSoC progresses, we anticipate an increase in traffic in the upcoming
report.

### Contributors

Since our last report, the OpenDAL community has merged 100 PRs across 209
files, thanks to the work of 18 contributors. Our total number of contributors
has now reached 184, marking an increase of 4 since the last report.

Our contributor growth has slowed, and no new committers have been nominated
since the last report, which is concerning. The OpenDAL PMC plans to implement
the following actions to address this:

- Participate in GSoC to attract more contributors to OpenDAL.
- Enhance documentation for OpenDAL, benefiting both developers and users.
- Simplify the internal implementation logic to make contributions easier.

We expect to see more committers in the next report.

Apache OpenNLP 2.3.2 was a maintenance release with minor improvements and was
released on 2024-02-04. A pull request to Apache Lucene to upgrade its OpenNLP
dependency to 2.3.2 was merged last month. Lucene was previously using OpenNLP
1.9.4 so it was a bit behind. Now that Lucene is using the newest version,
there is work being done in Apache Solr to use the new features. This may help
make the community more active.

## Community Health:
The community activity was slower this period compared the previous periods,
but the community remains healthy.

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 (5 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.

## Project Activity:
Version 0.12.0 was released on 2024-02-19

The project has been working on closing many issues this quarter.
We were able to cut the number of open issues by half. Also did we
invest a considerable amount of time for working towards reproducible
builds and automating most of the release process. Also did we update
the content on the website, especially thanks to a new documentation-
generator now the configuration for our drivers is automatically going
to be up to date.

## Community Health:
We know we haven't invited any new committers for quite some time.
This is definitely not due to a high committer bar, but more related
to the fact that the people needing Apache PLC4X seem to come from a
part of the industry that is completely new to the concept of open-source.

Only very few people accept our offer to mentor them to scratching their
own itches. 

Interestingly the project is gaining more and more popularity on the user-
side. 

Activity on the mailing lists seems to have increased slightly (8% - 605 emails)

The community is looking forward to a community meetup in Frankfurt the 
weekend after the board meeting. Here we hope to re-ignite some of the 
community activity and focus on perhaps releasing a 1.0.0 version of
PLC4X this year.

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 quarter was quiet, but nothing unusual, presumably the sign that current
versions work as expected.
No new releae discussed for now.

## Community Health:
Low activity for both the mailing lists and commits, it usually increases
at release time or when something needs fixing.

Attachment BU: Report from the Apache Storm Project  [Richard Zowalla]

## Description:
The mission of Storm is the creation and maintenance of software
related to Distributed, real-time computation system

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing (reactivated)
Issues for the board: None

## Membership Data:
Apache Storm was founded 2014-09-17 (9 years ago) There are currently 47
committers and 46 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 Nikhil Singh on 2023-10-23.
- No new committers. Last addition was Nikhil Singh on 2023-10-23.

## Project Activity:

Project activity has slowed down over the past few years. Storm is essentially
in maintenance mode.

The project would like to thank P. Taylor Goetz for his service as V.P. Storm
and would like to welcome Richard Zowalla as the new PMC Chair.

We have upgraded many third-party libraries to newer versions in order to to
reduce technical debt, and did a maintenance release in February. We hope to
to maintain this release cadence and release patches at a similar frequency.

We are also currently working on reducing third-party dependencies in Storm.
Storm depends on many third-party party libraries. It remains a huge task to
to reduce this technical debt in order to have a controlled set of third-party
dependencies.

On another technical note, the Storm UI has a lot of legacy and outdated
Javascript libraries in the Git repository. We may want to replace these with
an automated step using appropriate front-end tools(npm/gulp) to create a
minimised, bundled javascript file with a controlled version of these
dependencies.

The project has decided to migrate issues from Jira to GitHub. This step may
may require some technical changes to our release tools and documentation. We
are are confident that this move will attract new users and contributors by
lowering the barrier to entry for issues.


Recent releases
- 2.6.1 was released on 2024-02-02.

## Community Health:
Community engagement is currently healthy, but could benefit from new
contributors or users. contributors or users. We are still onboarding our new
PMC members (some of whom have never contributed to an ASF project before) to
teach them  the Apache way and make them active contributors. However, active
contributions from outside remain sparse.

Attachment BW: Report from the Apache Superset Project  [Maxime Beauchemin]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Superset is the creation and maintenance of software 
related to data exploration, analysis, visualization, and dashboarding

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, with high levels of activity, but a less
engaged PMC than we'd find ideal.

Issues for the board:

1) Community newsletter protocols — We're engaged in a discussion on our
private@ list and the trademarks@ list regarding the Apache Superset Community
Newesletter. Most of the details are navigable. The biggest open question is
whether it's allowable to send such a newsletter to our Slack community
membership, when Slack provides no opt-in opportunity in Slack's signup flow.
We know of other Projects who share this concern, but would appreciate any
advice if this is a "solved problem" for any other Apache projects. With 328
members on our dev@ list, and 14,321 Slack members, we do not want to miss
this opportunity to grow engagement by sharing content and announcement.
Historically, it's been warmly received, but we want to make sure we do this
in an acceptable way.

2) PMC engagement — Many of our PMC have moved away from the project, but
remain PMC members since this is effectively a permanent position. We passed a
Vote [1] in 202 allowing an annual acticity audit to determine if inactive PMC
wish to remain on the committee. We published this on our wiki but never
followed through out of nervousness, especially since the Apache Members on
our PMC were among those considered inactive. If you have any advice on if/how
to reduce our PMC to those who are (or are likely to be) engaged in the
project's future, we'd love to hear it.

[1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/hf4yw8ll1jwfr432wq8tr8cb3vl9c500

3) There's an unanswered question on the legal-discuss@ list we'd like clarity
on. We discovered that a package we use in CI runs (Applitools) changed its
license from MIT to a seemingly Apache-incompatible license somewhere along
the line. If this npm package is a `devDependency` or `optionalDependeny`, is
that still a problem since it's not distributed in the project's binary or
necessary for the product's functionality? We can remove it if needed but it
would be an unfortunate loss.

## Membership Data:
Apache Superset was founded 2020-11-17 (3 years ago)
There are currently 62 committers and 34 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Justin Park was added to the PMC on 2024-01-16
- No new committers. Last addition was Rob Moore on 2023-11-29.

## Project Activity:
3.0.4 was released on 2024-02-20.
3.1.1 was released on 2024-02-20.
3.1.0 was released on 2024-01-18.
3.0.3 was released on 2024-01-17.

We are actively testing our 4.0 release in hopes that it'll be out soon. A
backlog for 5.0 is already beginning to gather. We have a community-approved
plan for coordinating guture major release efforts which is published on our
wiki, and should lead to a more consistent major release cadence.

We're happy to report that we did recently reach 0 open security tickets.
We're back to 1 but it already has a fix merged on the repo. We will strive to
keep things up to date and closed out as expediently as possible going
forward. We've also made great strides in reducing package vulnerabilities for
the forthcoming 4.0 release.

## Community Health:
The community continues to grow, with 14,321 members on Slack as our driving
indicator (up from 12,827 as of the November board meeting). This continues to
be the most active platform for our community.

We're actively staying on top of PRs, with 796 opened in the last quarter, and
756 closed.

We've been making an active effort to get GitHub issues under control, and
where 203 issues have been opened in the last quarter, we've closed 1016.
We've gone from 1.4K open issues to under 600, and will continue to get the
backlog to a closer to sustainability.

## 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

Activity on the project over the last quarter is higher than the previous
quarter, with around 60 commits to main from 5 individuals compared to just
23 commits from 2 individuals in the previous.  We do tend to see an increase
in commits over the last weeks of December and early January as people have
more time off during the holidays.  We have a vote going in the PMC for a
potential committer and will hopefully have something positive there to
report next quarter.

## Activity

Work on Jakarta EE 10 is still the main focus.  Progress has been made and
although we've not setup all the TCKs and have complete numbers, we are far
more complete than before.  Discussion is in progress on doing a first
milestone of TomEE 10.

Some of this work was to incorporate the latest BatchEE into TomEE and get
the Jakarta Batch TCK tests passing.  This involved filing a TCK Challenge
against some TCK test code we felt was relying on non-standard behavior.
Praise to Richard Zowalla for bringing this to the Jakarta Batch spec and
getting it approved without conflict.

A release of TomEE 9.1.2 was shipped in December with several library
upgrades addressing CVEs.

Attachment CD: Report from the Apache Unomi Project  [Serge Huber]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Unomi is the creation and maintenance of software related 
to providing a reference implementation of the OASIS Customer Data Platform 
specification currently being worked on by the OASIS Context Server Technical 
Committee

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

## Membership Data:
Apache Unomi was founded 2019-02-20 (5 years ago)
There are currently 16 committers and 7 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 Taybou on 2021-03-19.
- No new committers. Last addition was Francois Gerthoffert on 2022-09-15.

## Project Activity:
As Unomi 2 is maturing there is less need for maintenance releases.
Contributions to the project consist mostly of minor fixes. Focus is more on
documentation and helping the community with project usage to help people get
started or solve problems with the new version. The focus is
currently on improving overall quality and bug fixes, while also improving the
GraphQL API, which is still young and less used.

## Community Health:
The Apache Unomi community is healthy, but not much message traffic has happened
recently, mostly due to the fact that the project is more mature and hopefully
the current documentation is helpful. As usual the mailing lists are not used
by humans much, but the Slack channel has 168 members in it which is still
growing. Most people are lurkers though but the community is answering
people's questions in a timely manner. Contributions are welcome and as usual
a focus is made on being inclusive. As for any decisions and voting of course
the mailing lists are the only place where they happen. JIRA is also used for
project planning, not just for issue tracking.

- Since our last report in December, we've had increased activity working
  toward a new release. We've had a fair number of commits and activity in
  JIRA tracking the commits (the project statistics page on reporter.a.o isn't
  accurately showing commit and JIRA activity).

## Community Health:
We are encouraged by the progress we've made in becoming more active again
after a long period of being dormant.

Attachment CG: Report from the Apache Xerces Project  [Michael Glavassevich]

Apache Xerces is a collaborative software development project dedicated to
providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and freely available XML
parsers and closely related technologies on a wide variety of platforms
supporting several languages.

========

Xerces-J

We recently closed a vote (which passed) for electing another committer and
PMC member and will be extending a formal invitation to him soon.

New development recently completed for supporting an XPath 3.1 function in the
DOM implementation which would be useful to the Xalan project. A member of the
community provided a patch and several suggestions for improving and
simplifying the build which has since been committed to SVN.

Mailing list traffic has been moderate; roughly 65+ posts on the j-dev and
j-users lists since the beginning of November 2023.

No new releases since the previous report. The latest release is Xerces-J
2.12.2 (January 24th, 2022).

========

Xerces-C

Xerces-C 3.2.5 was released on December 20th, 2023 containing a fix for a CVE
from 2018 (https://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/secadv/CVE-2018-1311.txt). There
was a flurry of activity around the release and a few other fixes were made in
GitHub and some issues were addressed in JIRA.

Mailing list traffic has been moderate; roughly 70+ posts on the c-dev and
c-users lists since the beginning of November 2023.

The latest release is Xerces-C 3.2.5 (December 20th, 2023).

========

Xerces-P

Nothing in particular to report. There was no development activity over the
reporting period.

========

XML Commons

No activity over the reporting period.

========

Attachment CH: 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
Issues for the board: None

## 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:
With 0.15.0 released last quarter, we're in our typical lull as projects adopt
the new release and report back issues.  So far it has been quiet so no real
activity to fix issues.

## Community Health:
Quiet, as can be expected from a project is very cyclical. e.g.:

dev@yetus.apache.org had a 59% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (5
emails compared to 12) combined with zero JIRA and Github activity.

Attachment CI: 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
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.
- No new committers. Last addition was Li Wang on 2023-03-17.

## Project Activity:
The community released two minor versions in the last reporting period: 

3.9.2 was released on 2024-03-12.
3.8.4 was released on 2024-03-05.

## Community Health:
The traffic increase on the dev list is due to the releases. 

- dev@zookeeper.apache.org had a 26% increase in traffic in the past quarter
 (106 emails compared to 84)
- user@zookeeper.apache.org had a 56% decrease in
 traffic in the past quarter (9 emails compared to 20)

The numbers below are not correct as they are not supposed to be zero, we are
not sure why these metrics are being reported incorrectly.

- 0 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-100% change) 0 issues closed in
 JIRA, past quarter (-100% change)
- 0 commits in the past quarter (-100% change) 0 code contributors in the
 past quarter (-100% change)
- 0 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-100% change) 0 PRs closed on GitHub,
 past quarter (-100% change)
