4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]
Autumn has started, and so has flu season; it took a week out of my schedule.
There was less time than usual between board meetings; we had moved last
month’s meeting by a week and October 1st was a Wednesday, pushing the meeting
on the 3rd Wednesday to the earliest point in the month. Personally I’ve made
less progress than I would have liked following our discussion items. I’m
setting my sights on November.
Agenda tooling wise, I think we are at the point that we can do the entire
process using the new tool. This agenda was created using this tool. Our
next step will be to automate that as well.
B. President [Ruth Suehle]
It has generally been a light month, not much to report. Just some general housekeeping of things that were still in David's name getting moved over. Trying to keep a list of all such things so that it isn't as dragged out next transition.
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend the video our platinum sponsor made for us as a recap of Community Over Code: https://youtu.be/SAalEaJAumI
<private>One subpoena document was received and forwarded to VP Legal for handling.</a>
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 11.
C. Treasurer [Craig McClanahan]
Normal operations continue. Most noteworthy was supporting financial things
for the Community over Code conference this month.
D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]
In September, 39 ICLAs and one CCLA were received and filed.
E. Executive Vice President [Jeff Jirsa]
At the most recent board meeting, the board asked the EVP to help
drive to completion the proposed Code of Conduct, including specific
asks to consult with specific members of the foundation with past
experiences in this area, include VP Legal (and outside legal, as
needed), ensure wider visibility to PMCs before final approval, and
define a process to reconcile the foundation Code of Conduct with
existing TLP level Codes of Conducts.
This month, the EVP has begun that process, with initial discussions
with the specific member requested by two Directors. That conversation
has started with a focus on composition, election/formation, and level
of independence of the committee that would review complaints.
F. Vice Chair [Rich Bowen]
In September I sent a message to all PMCs[1], and hope to start doing that quarterly. Let me know if you have items that should be in there.

Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [Danny Angus]
General
=======
Infra and Security have been working on mail delivery issues related
to ezmlm and DMARC. A locally-patched ezmlm source tree has been
undergoing extensive testing, and several projects have offered their
lists for "production" testing. All appears well, and Infra will be
sharing a draft communication to all committers regarding the update,
currently planned for 2 November 2025.
MFA Efforts
===========
Infra, Security, and Tooling continue to coordinate on next steps.
Special thanks to Tooling member Sean Palmer who has provided a
greatly improved framework for deploying the Authentik POC via
Configuration as Code.
Major Projects
==============
- MFA testing (pre-rollout)
- DKIM/DMARC test (pre-rollout)
- Jira/Confluence Atlassian Cloud Migration Testing
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Tooling [Dave Fisher]
# Tooling
The team continues to work hard building systems.
## Apache Trusted Releases (ATR)
We announced a second Alpha at C/C Minneapolis and are preparing a blog post.
A functional MFA is one of our requirements for an integrated Beta and we have
been focusing our efforts the last few weeks on MFA.
## Board Agenda Tool (BAT)
The September meeting used of the new agenda tool. While there are a number of
small improvements in process the tool is nearly feature complete! Going
forward the Chair and Secretary with their Assistants will be the important
stakeholders.
## Secretary's Workbench
Several members of the Secretary's team have confirmed access to the
`tooling-secretary` repository.
## MFA POC Support
The team has helped Infrastructure get to the point of demonstrating required
functionality using Authentik.
## Staffing
One of our team members has decided to resign from the team. We thank Thomas
Neidhart for his excellent work. He has volunteered to continue to support BAT
development as a foundation member.
We have started our search for a replacement developer.

Attachment 9: Report from the VP of Data Privacy [Christian Grobmeier]
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 10: Report from the VP of Public Affairs [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
== CRA and other regulation ==
Series of meetings in the next weeks. Main details becoming clearer and draft
guidance documents tend to generally see the edgecase put the onus on the
manufacturer/downstream parties from Open Source than on us. And secondly - it
appears there is a general tendency for contributions/security-fixes going
upstream to fall towards getting more mandatory/broader. Lots of work to be
done - but no large concerns.
I am hoping to get a better read on this next week, at Code and Compliance,
and then report back to this at the ASF & start a discussion on members.
There is the start of rough consensus on @public-affairs-private that we
should not be silent (as we've been sofar) on the current guidance `loopholes'
that give the more commercial types of open source an upper hand on our
downstream community.
== Attestation, Presumption of Conformity ==
With the normative standards now on track & on their way to become global
(e.g. SSDF in the US); I am expecting next weeks meeting to also kick of the
discussion, and very concrete, planning of the open source foundations on
what they are willing to deliver (or `sell') in terms of Attestation. With a
workshop being planned in the context of the open regulatory working group.
Some are already doing so for a US setting (e.g.
https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/freebsd-foundation-d
elivers-v1-of-freebsd-ssdf-attestation-to-support-cybersecurity-compliance/),
others are very near (https://security.erlef.org/aegis/). With enough details
at the Open Regulatory Working group, at Open SSF and by individuals
(https://github.com/sCC4CRA/sCC4CRA).
== Open Source Congress ==
(Brussel, attended by Ruth (organizer committee), Dirkx)
One day for just the code producing open source foundations & OSI; the next
day a new experiment; a `stakeholders day' for the wider industry, policy
makers and so on. Both well attended with the right people. Significant focus
on how our traditional ways of collaborating interact with a more multi-polar
world, increasing regulation and a public policy focus on digital sovereignty.
With the leaders of our peer foundations now at ease with the fact that the US
is no longer the sole/only centre/anchor point for the open source community.
Also noteworthy is that several speakers remarked that the notion/time of
"our motives are so pure - we are above the law" is now a thing of the past.
Other topics were sustainability and cyber security. Including the regulatory
changes significantly changing the `free loader' equation / pressure on
industry to interact with their upstream (as the alternative is having to pay
for the wheel themselves) or rules forcing this (e.g. submit bug reports &
must provide patches under same license upstream).
Report will be shared.
== Open Source Congress -- long term role & governance ==
Also discused was the future for the Open Source Congress; building on the
informal consensus that ideally a Secretariat should be created to administer
and facilitate the collective interests of the foundations from earlier years.
This has solidified into a non-governing `Secretariat' that acts as an
administrative, unincorporated, body overseen by a Steering Committy
consisting of, in effect the executive or policy leaders of the foundations or
similar (i.e. avoiding delegates). The latter to elect General Secretary to do
the work - i.e. organise an annual Congress and, in general, act as the "phone
number" (that policy makers and others) can call when they need "to talk" to
open source'. Members would be the code producing non profit open source
foundations.
So in essence a neutral place for the ASF and its peers to collaborate and
align. Main targets to hit are around Cyber security; policy, easing
geopolitical tension by establishing neutral/common protocols and the
promotion of shared norms.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 11: Report from the VP of ECMA Relations [Piotr Karwasz]
At its September 18th meeting, TC54 submitted three draft specifications to
the ECMA Executive Committee for ratification at the December General
Assembly:
* Second Edition of ECMA-424 (CycloneDX v1.7): Enhances the existing BOM
standard, with improvements focused on the CBOM format.
https://ecma-tc54.github.io/ECMA-424/
* Package-URL Specification (https://ecma-tc54.github.io/ECMA-xxx-PURL/):
Provides a consistent way to identify packaged components, and is expected
to be adopted by the CVE Program for vulnerability reporting. For
non-packaged software (e.g., ASF C projects), a generic PURL type has been
proposed (https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec/issues/516). Notably, new
PURL types can be registered even after standard ratification.
* Common Lifecycle Enumeration (CLE) Specification
(https://ecma-tc54.github.io/ECMA-xxx-CLE/): Defines machine-readable lifecycle
events for software releases. Of particular interest to the ASF are the
`released`, `endOfDevelopment`, and `endOfSupport` events, which could be
integrated into the Apache Trusted Releases platform.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 12: Report from the VP of W3C Relations [Andy Seaborne]
Niklas Merz (niklasmerz@) to has the joined the Community Group Program and
the High-Performance Baseline for Web Apps Community Group.
Andy Seaborne (andy@) has joined the Data Façades Community Group.
The foundation has agreed to the W3C Code of Conduct and signed the W3C
Community Contributor License Agreement for these three community groups.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 13: 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 about
flat at 24 issues compared to the last month.
We received two new subpoenas and are working with DLAPiper on our official
response to them. Neither appears to be problematic and in fact we may end up
with just one that needs any non trivial work. All the subpoenas (current and
past) can be found in svn@private/foundation/legal/subpoenas should board
members be curious about the details.
Once again, we received an inquiry from a procurement department of a
corporation using ASF projects asking us to amend the language of the Apache
License v2. The request was denied with a brief explanation given on our
stance.
We have received a couple of DMCA takedown notices but they were deemed to be
frivolous and not meeting the bar of our action.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 14: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark J. Cox]
September
* Help Infra with the mailinglist DMARC issues, both to improve the deliverability of security-relevant emails and to clear the path for ongoing MFA work.

Attachment A: Report from the Apache Accumulo Project [Ed Coleman]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based
access control and customizable server-side processing.
## Project Status:
- Current project status: Ongoing with high activity.
- Issues for the board: None.
## Membership Data:
Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (14 years ago) There are currently 44
committers and 39 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 6:5. It is our practice to invite committers to be PMC members at the
same time. The difference between committers and PMC members is because some
PMC members have elected to go emeritus.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Kevin Rathbun on 2024-07-24.
- No new committers. Last addition was John Kucera on 2025-06-04.
## Project Activity:
Accumulo is currently working on some significant development efforts.
- Improving the performance and stability of the with the patch release of 2.1.4
- The current plan for 3.1 is to identify all of the deprecated items for the
4.0 release for semver compliance.
- 4.0 is the evolution of the processing model to support dynamic scaling and
provide elasticity.
### Fluo:
INFRA completed all the actions needed to transition the Fluo repos and
website to the Accumulo PMC. The Fluo mailing lists were archived, and repos
renamed. After some issues we were able to get the Fluo website to build again
and have made some minor updates to it so far, with more changes expected
soon.
### Releses:
- accumulo-1.10.4 (EOL) was released on 2023-11-16.
- accumulo-2.1.4 (LTM) was released on 2025-08-20.
- accumulo-3.0.0 (non-LTM) was released on 2023-08-21.
- accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta was released on 2024-02-17.
## Community Health:
Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. The
email traffic reflects the community preference of using GitHub projects and
issues for planning and PRs for code discussions. We also use our slack
channel for day-to-day communications. We continue to use the mailing list for
official Apache business and remains a channel for users to contact us.

Attachment B: Report from the Apache ActiveMQ Project [Christopher Shannon]
## Description:
The mission of Apache ActiveMQ is the creation and maintenance of software
implementing a distributed messaging system
## Project Status:
Current project status:
Ongoing Issues for the board: See below
### The PMC has voted to move ActiveMQ Artemis into its own TLP.
HornetQ was originally donated to the ActiveMQ project with the intention that
it would become the next generation broker and eventually replace the original
ActiveMQ broker and become ActiveMQ 6. It was renamed to Artemis and became a
subproject of ActiveMQ, which was going to be temporary until it was ready.
However, it was decided a couple years ago that this was no longer the goal
and both brokers (ActiveMQ "Classic" and Artemis) will continue to be
supported and maintained indefinitely as there are distinct developers and
users of both brokers. ActiveMQ "Classic" has since had a 6.0 release and
Artemis will not be replacing it.
Because there is very little overlap between the two brokers (both developers
and users) and there is no goal to replace either, the PMC voted to split
Artemis into its own TLP. This should benefit both projects by allowing them
to continue independently and also clear up any confusion in the community.
## Membership Data:
Apache ActiveMQ was founded 2007-01-16 (19 years ago)
There are currently 64 committers and 30 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 Matt Pavlovich on 2023-12-06.
- No new committers. Last addition was Anton Roskvist on 2024-02-09.
## Project Activity:
### ActiveMQ Classic
- 6.1.7 was released on 2025-06-22
- ActiveMQ Classic is heading to 6.2.0 release with new JMS 3.1 features
support
- NMS API 2.2.0 was released on 2025-07-05.
### ActiveMQ Artemis
- 2.42.0 was released on 2025-07-18
- 2.43.0 release is imminent
- Work is progressing toward 3.0
### ActiveMQ Artemis Console
- 1.3.0 was released on 2025-09-02
## Community Health:
[We have a sustained activity on the mailing lists (for both Artemis and
Classic). We also see new contributors who submitted new PRs. On Classic, we
are moving forward on JMS 3.1 and preparing a proposal for runtime for
ActiveMQ 7.

## Description:
The mission of Apache Answer is the creation and maintenance of software
related to A Q-and-A platform software for teams at any scales
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Answer was founded 2024-12-18 (10 months ago)
There are currently 18 committers and 14 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 9:7.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Anne Zhu on 2024-12-18.
- No new committers were added.
## Project Activity:
- Kickoff of 1.6.x line — Released v1.6.0, marking the first GA in the 1.6
series; initial feedback is being incorporated into follow-up patches.
- Next milestone planning — Opened discussions on feature scope and timeline
for v1.7.x; collecting proposals on dev@ and drafting the roadmap for
community review.
## Community Health:

Attachment E: Report from the Apache APISIX Project [Ming Wen]
## Description:
The mission of Apache APISIX is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a cloud-native microservices API gateway
## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache APISIX was founded 2020-07-15 (5 years ago)
There are currently 65 committers and 31 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 Ashish Tiwari on 2024-10-16.
- No new committers. Last addition was Yilia Lin on 2025-06-03.
## Project Activity:
3.13.0 was released on 2025-06-27.
apisix-java-plugin-runner-0.6.0 was released on 2025-04-10.
3.12.0 was released on 2025-04-01.
The release vote for version 3.14 is currently underway
## Community Health:
The release of APISIX has gradually decreased from
once a month to once every three months.
On the one hand, it is because the project has become stable
without many major changes, and on the other hand,
many developers are more interested in AI related projects
rather than middleware projects.
How to encourage more developers to participate in APISIX
is a topic worth discussing.
I feel that other Apache Foundation projects may also have similar issues.

Attachment G: Report from the Apache Arrow Project [Neal Richardson]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Arrow is the creation and maintenance of software related
to columnar in-memory processing and data interchange
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing (high activity)
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache Arrow was founded 2016-01-19 (10 years ago)
There are currently 116 committers and 61 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Adam Reeve was added to the PMC on 2025-10-02
- Matthijs Brobbel was added to the PMC on 2025-10-01
- Rossi Sun was added to the PMC on 2025-10-05
- Kyle Barron was added as committer on 2025-10-07
## Project Activity:
### Community events
On October 2, 2025, we held the first ever Apache Arrow Summit in Paris.
Program details and agenda are here:
https://www.meetup.com/pydata-paris/events/310646396/
There were around 35 attendees, of which ~20 were existing core developers or
PMC members. The Summit was overwhelmingly described as a success, with a
friendly atmosphere between all participants. Unfortunately, no A/V recording
system was available for this event.
### Sovereign Tech Fund grant
The German government-backed Sovereign Tech Agency has decided to fund
critical maintenance and infrastructure-related tasks for Apache Arrow. The
grant is handled by QuantStack, a French open source company already employing
two Arrow PMC members. This allows funding core work that is unlikely to be
paid for by regular corporate clients, and represents around 0.8 FTE during 2
years.
See announcement at
https://medium.com/@QuantStack/sovereign-tech-agency-invests-in-apache-arrows-future-with-quantstack-d2f84c21c2cc
### Project organization
The Arrow project spans multiple implementations in different programming
languages. While it used to be organized as a single centralized GitHub
monorepo, various frictions around development and the perceived lack of
velocity led us to progressively move individual implementations into their
own GitHub repositories. The latest candidate for this has been the C#
implementation of Arrow, which is now hosted under the repository
“apache/arrow-dotnet”.
The remaining implementations hosted in the “apache/arrow” repository are C++
and some of the language bindings based off of it: Python, Ruby, R, C/GLib and
Matlab. There are currently no plans to further split them up.
### Recent Releases:
JS-21.1.0 was released on 2025-10-07.
RS-56.2.0 was released on 2025-09-23.
RS-OS-0.12.4 was released on 2025-09-23.
DOTNET-22.0.1 was released on 2025-09-19.
ADBC-20 was released on 2025-09-12.
DOTNET-22.0.0 was released on 2025-09-12.
GO-18.4.1 was released on 2025-09-04.
56.1.0 was released on 2025-08-25.
RS-56.0.0 was released on 2025-08-01.
GO-18.4.0 was released on 2025-07-21.
21.0.0 was released on 2025-07-17.
RS-OS-0.12.3 was released on 2025-07-16.
## Community Health:
GitHub activity is up slightly over the last quarter but most other mailing
list activity is down. Looking back at the Arrow board reports from October
2024 and 2023, we see a similar dip, which suggests that this could just be a
seasonal effect with northern hemisphere summer vacations in July and August
leading to reduced activity. As a result, we are not concerned at this time.
Metrics:
* github@arrow.apache.org had a 5% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(16093 emails compared to 15193)
* dev@arrow.apache.org had a 27% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (273
emails compared to 371)
* user@arrow.apache.org had a 4% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (178

Attachment H: Report from the Apache AsterixDB Project [Ian Maxon]
## Description:
The mission of AsterixDB is the creation and maintenance of software related to
an open source Big Data Management System
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache AsterixDB was founded 2016-04-19 (9 years ago)
There are currently 43 committers and 29 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Ali Alsuliman was added to the PMC on 2025-08-24
- Janhavi Tripurwar was added as committer on 2025-07-29
## Project Activity:
Releases:
- Apache AsterixDB JDBC Driver 0.9.8.3 was released on 2024-04-03.
- apache-asterixdb-0.9.8.2 was released on 2024-03-04.
- apache-asterixdb-0.9.9 was released on 2024-03-04.
APEs:
- APE 24 (Simplified Index Only Plans) was adopted and merged. This was a good
exercise in community engagement, as another PMC member had actually worked
on this topic before many years ago with a different approach. However over
time it had become clear that perhaps a simpler and more adaptable approach
might work, so this change was proposed and discussed.
- APE 25 (Improved Apache Iceberg support) was adopted and merged. This APE
also had a similar pattern to APE 24. It extended on previous work from a
prior contributor, and in fact this contribution was adopted as APE 1. He
also contributed to the discussion about the change and it was a very
pleasant exchange.
- APE 26 (Index Advisor) was adopted and merged after some discussion.
- APE 27 (Containerized Packaging) was adopted and merged, but still needs
to make it's way into a release.
- APE 28 (Improved Async API) is under discussion. Investigations around
it have already lead to some bug fixes.
- APE 29 (Atomic Statements) is finally drafted. This is one of the make-up
APEs for a feature that was added before the process was really integrated
into the community.
## Community Health:
I think the APE process is now in a good state. Once the last catch-up APE is
done I think it will be a fairly good reflection of all the big-ticket items
that have been added to the system since it's formal adoption.
This quarter, I invited every active contributor I could think of to the ASF
Slack. I would like to eventually make the #asterixdb slack channel a good
resource for new users and developers, so step 1 of that is making sure there
are enough folks there to discuss on it. Moving the little quick questions and
posts that get made in other channels to this slack should set the stage for
that, hopefully.
Ali was added to the PMC, which was certainly well-earned. He is a pillar of
the community and I'm very glad he accepted the invitation. There also was a
successful vote to add another PMC member, and the invitation was just sent.
Hopefully it goes the same way. Janhavi was added as a committer, which was
also great news. There is also discussion about inviting another good
contributor as a committer, which should go to a vote soon.

Attachment M: Report from the Apache Calcite Project [Ruben Q L]
## Description:
Apache Calcite is a highly customizable framework for parsing and planning
queries on data in a wide variety of formats. It allows database-like access,
and in particular a SQL interface and advanced query optimization, for data
not residing in a traditional database.
Avatica is a sub-project within Calcite and provides a framework for building
local and remote JDBC and ODBC database drivers. Avatica has an independent
release schedule and its own repository.
## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing (high activity)
Issues for the board: none

releases this quarter, but we have started the discussions towards Calcite
1.41.0, so it shall be released soon.
## Community Health:
The community continues on a "Super healthy" status. As usual during the
northern summer, there has been a slow-down in the general activity in the last
three months, e.g. we have seen a decrease in the mailing lists traffic in the
last quarter (18% decrease in dev, 26% decrease in issues). Nevertheless, we
have had a decent amount of Jira tickets opened (129) and closed (100) in the
past three months.

Attachment N: Report from the Apache CarbonData Project [Jacky Li]
## Description:
- Now the CarbonData community is discussing AI-native data storage as new direction.
In the previous releases, the Apache CarbonData is data store solution for fast
analytics on Big Data platforms (including Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark,
Apache Flink among others) to help speed up queries an order of magnitude
faster over petabytes of data, with the aim of using a unified file format
to satisfy all kinds of data analysis cases.
## Issues:
- The community need to consider identifying more new contributors.
## Activity:
- CarbonData community already changed CarbonData Chair
- Security issue PR merged at : https://github.com/apache/carbondata/pull/4367
- The CarbonData is discussing in github issue page: https://github.com/apache/carbondata/issues/4368
### Why AI-native data storage for CarbonData's new scope (new direction)
In AI projects, data scientists and engineers spend 80% of their time on data preparation. Traditional storage presents numerous bottlenecks in this process:
Data silos: Training data may be scattered across data lakes, data warehouses, file systems, object storage, and other locations, making integration difficult.
Performance bottlenecks:
Training phase: High-speed, low-latency data throughput is required to feed GPUs to avoid expensive GPU resources sitting idle.
Inference phase: High-concurrency, low-latency vector similarity search capabilities are required.
Complex data formats: AI processes data types far beyond tables, including unstructured data (images, videos, text, audio) and semi-structured data (JSON, XML). Traditional databases have limited capabilities for processing and querying such data.
Lack of metadata management: The lack of effective management of rich metadata such as data versions, lineage, annotation information, and experimental parameters leads to poor experimental reproducibility.
Vectorization requirements: Modern AI models (such as large language models) convert all data into vector embeddings. Traditional storage cannot efficiently store and retrieve high-dimensional vectors.
## Health Report:
- Commit activity:
- 9 commits in the past quarter
- 4 code contributors in the past quarter
## Releases:
* currently , community is discussing new direction : AI-native data storage
* 2.3.1 was released on 2023-11-25.
* 2.3.0 was released on 2022-01-24.
* 2.2.0 was released on 2021-08-05.

## Project Activity:
In the last quarter we released Causeway 4.0.0-M1 [1]; we're aiming to keep
a regular release cadence. The 4.x branch, based on Spring Boot 4 makes use
of Java features beyond version 17 and ends the support for JDO.
We continue to promote the framework to extend our user base. In addition to
the ongoing series of articles at devm.io [2], there is also a new article on
javapro.io [3] with others scheduled.
## Community Health:
We continue to see engagement on our slack channel, which the community seems
to much prefer over the users mailing list. Nevertheless, we continue to
ensure that all relevant information are cross-posted to users@ and dev@
where necessary.

Attachment Q: Report from the Apache CXF Project [Andriy Redko]
## Description:
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and
develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS and JAX-RS.
These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP,
RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS
or JBI.

## Project Activity:
Jakarta EE 11 platform support is on the finish line (the pull request is out).
We are awaiting for Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4 releases in order to
finalize the 4.2.x feature set (along with Jakarta EE 11 compatibility). We
are also trying to reach out to Undertow team in order to understand their plans
for supporting Jakarta EE 11 (we submitted a few bugfixes but no new releases
are coming out from the project). We may need to remove Undertow engine as
the last resort.
Recent releases:
3.6.8 was released on 2025-08-06.
4.0.9 was released on 2025-08-06.
4.1.3 was released on 2025-08-06.
## Community Health:
For the most part, the project is making steady, but not stellar, progress.
Many of the protocols and specs that CXF implements are mature specs and don't
really change much. Thus, steady progress and regular releases are a good
thing. We are responding to bug reports, reviewing and merging pull requests,
and hopefully getting patch releases out soon.

Attachment AA: Report from the Apache Flagon Project [Joshua Poore]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Flagon is the creation and maintenance of software
related to thin-client behavioral logging capability useful for business
analytics, usage analytics, usability and user testing
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with healthy community participation
Issues for the board: No issues at this time
## Membership Data:
Apache Flagon was founded 2023-03-21 (3 years ago) There are currently 19
committers and 12 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 5:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Evan Jones on 2024-07-10.
- 2 new committers were recently nominated by successful VOTE and invited to
the project this quarter. Last addition was Ryan Thenhaus on 2025-02-08.
## Project Activity:
Project activity dipped later in the quarter following the transition
to a monorepo structure, some heavy (though incomplete) work on updating our
website, and adoption of manifest v3 for our browser plugin. So far, the
monorepo has been very successful in orienting new adopters to the full scope
of the project and navigating source code. In the next quarter, we expect
additional maintenance tasks and efforts to increase compatability with other
telemetry frameworks (e.g., OpenTelemetry).
## Community Health:
As a community, we still have limited success in driving discussion to the
lists. However, development relationships have been created through community
participation and we see the impacts of the Flagon community in Project
Activity. Following monorepoo transition, we will raise the issues of stronger
adoption of current standards (e.g., OpenTelemetry) within the UserALE model
(following some recent interest), or other issues the community thinks are
more pressing. This may boost participating on lists; exploring 1-2 focused
issues on lists may promote healthy discussion without making PMC/committers
worry about over-subscribing their own volunteer time dedicated to the
project. The community is growing, two new successful VOTEs for new
committers were recently passed and invites to were sent.

Attachment AK: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Justin Mclean]
# Incubator PMC report for October 2025
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
As of September, there are 30 podlings under incubation. Three releases
were made during the month, and one IP clearance was completed. Several new
project ideas and early proposals were discussed on the general list, with
them seeking mentors and guidance for next steps. A new proposal, EasyXL,
was discussed and is in the process of identifying mentors. No podlings
retired during the month, and three new people joined the IPMC.
Mailing-list traffic in September covered regular Incubator business,
including new proposals, release votes, graduation-readiness discussions,
and mentor engagement, alongside two experiments aimed at improving
visibility into podling health.
The first, an optional checkpoint, provides a lightweight review
approximately six months after incubation, utilising a pre-filled template
based on signals such as contributors, pull requests, releases, and mailing
list activity. Mentors add context and adjustments with the aim of support
rather than evaluation.
The second is a monthly health-metrics prototype that analyses public data
over 3, 6, and 12-month windows to highlight trends within each podling.
Draft health reports were generated for all podlings to validate the
approach. The intent here is to help with podling reporting.
A mentor engagement analysis revealed a significant correlation between
active, multi-mentor participation and successful graduation outcomes. It
concluded that podlings with three mentors and consistent sign-offs are
significantly more likely to graduate, reinforcing the importance of
maintaining multiple active mentors throughout the incubation period.
Some analysis was conducted on graduation/retirement times. It was noted
that projects that eventually retire spend almost twice as long in
incubation as those that graduate. The majority of projects graduate within
one to two years.
The graduation of Wayang was discussed, with a conversation highlighting
some branding/vendor considerations to address before proceeding with any
formal graduation proposal.
Work also continued on new training and onboarding materials. A new
Training & Onboarding section was added to the Incubator website to
consolidate resources by role and material type. New content includes:
Mentor Onboarding slide deck, Incubator Case Studies collection, and PPMC &
Committer onboarding guides.
A small number of reminders were sent to mentors regarding missing
sign-offs for the previous month. Most podlings continue to make progress
toward graduation, and the IPMC will continue to monitor long-running or
low-activity podlings and provide additional guidance where appropriate.
Livy is back on track with graduation, but there's been no response from
Toree.
3 podlings did not report and will be asked to report next month. One
report, ResilientDB, was submitted without a mentor sign-off. A couple of
podlings were contacted about the quality of their reports this month and
were pointed to the new reporting guide.

releases as soon as possible (definitive in Q4)
## Community Health:
Overall community health continue is okay-ish.
The community asks for the releases, but because of mentioned issues those
are not available yet.

Release candidate 4.1.16 is currently available. Blocker issues are being
worked on.
### Recent Releases
4.1.15 was released on 2023-12-22
4.1.14 was released on 2023-02-27
4.1.13 was released on 2022-07-22 Binary downloads (total overall) as of
October 1: 392,039,151
### Codebase in OpenOffice repository
Work continues on the 4.2 future release. This included:
Work on building a 64-bit Windows version.
Work on code spelling and code linting.
dev@openoffice.apache.org had a 70% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(273 emails compared to 160):
l10n@openoffice.apache.org had a 74% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
(4 emails compared to 15):
### Documentation
The OpenOffice-docs repository is where the small documentation team makes
updates.
The chapters for the Writer Guide are completed and ready to be published, and
the Compilation of the complete book is in process.
The chapters of the Calc Guide are ready for final review. Work has started on
the update of the Impress Guide from the old 3.3 Version.
doc@openoffice.apache.org had a 411% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(46 emails compared to 9): The OpenOffice.org repository has had the usual
download count updates.
### User Support

(43 emails compared to 71):
users-de@openoffice.apache.org had a 21% increase in traffic in the past
quarter (40 emails compared to 33):
### Translation Interface
We migrate Pootle to a new server and switch to a Docker-based setup.
Once the migration is complete, we need to continue with the setup of the
CI/CD environment to integrate translations in AOO. The main blocker for
progress is that we cannot move the translation files to a Git repository at
once; we need to add them in slices. Currently we try to retain the existing
history.
After we have the CI/CD working, we will migrate to a new translation frontend
since Pootle does not receive any updates and its Django dependency is old.
### Templates and Extensions Site
These sites will be transitioned to static HTML sites by SourceForge.
The template site has been completed
### Community Health
Community overall health is improving. We are seeing several developers taking
on Win64, ODF 1.3, Boost, NSS, ICU, and OpenSSL updates. Documentation is
being updated after a long time, and we are getting translation volunteers.
## Infrastructure
### Binary Distributions
SourceForge mirrors are still the main way to get an OpenOffice binary
release. Windows builds are also published in the Microsoft Store (Windows
10/11). Windows users are by far our largest user group. Windows 10 and 11
users can also install the binaries via WinGet.
On both systems, we sign only the installers and are ready to use the new
service provided by SSL.com.
A PMC discussion has been started if we can sign the complete product of AOO.
### OpenGrok
We move OpenGrok to the same system as translation and will use in the future
a Docker setup for simplified maintenance.
### Facebook
We have one volunteer taking care of the presence. Work is underway to invite
more volunteers. There are some comments in the comment section, mostly user
support.
But recently we get requests on when the next release will be.
### X, formerly Twitter
The PMC voted to continue our handle, and we have new volunteer PMC members
who will handle our presence. The main purpose will be advertising new
releases.
### Unmaintained Python 2 code
Python 2 is unmaintained. We have in the development tree the external python3
support. Internal Python 3 support is difficult. We are checking alternatives.
Planned for the next major release.
We have started the work on a new approach to Python scripting support in AOO.
### OpenDocument Format (ODF) Version 1.3
Our default and best-supported file format, the OpenDocument Format, has
received a new Standard update. As we plan to support this format, we started
work checking the ODF 1.3 specification and what we have to do to support
documents in OpenDocument Format version 1.3
(see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/ODF+1.3+Changes), as
well as some early development.

## Project Activity:
We released Ratis Thirdparty 1.0.10 on 2025-09-15. The release was mainly to
fix the CVEs from the dependencies.
We recently started the voting process for the maintenance release Ratis 3.2.1,
which contained Thirdparty upgrade, bug fixes and minor improvements over
the 3.2.0 release. There were minor problems found in the rc1. Therefore, we
were going to roll out rc2.
## Community Health:
The project is healthy. In this quarter, we have lower traffic in both the
dev@ (34% decrease) and the user@ (72% decrease) mailing lists compared to the
previous quarter. The reason probably was that we had a minor release in the
previous quarter but only a maintenance release in this quarter. We also had
27 JIRAs opened and 28 JIRA closed.

The Vice President was changed to Greg Stein in the Board's August 20,
2025 meeting, with thanks to Daniel Gruno for his years in that role.
## Project Activity:
This past quarter has seen much activity in the "v3" generation of the
project. The v3 has a cryptographic at-rest backend, and a frontend
based on the Infrastructure's "asfquart" layer over Python's Quart
package for creating web applications. It uses a Bootstrap-based UI,
and will provide self-serve capability to the Foundation's PMCs to run
votes (eg. Apache Cassandra has used it for annual Chair replacement
elections). This new work updates the technology stack from old CGI
scripts and UX components, to a modern stack for web applications.
The v3 work is focused on making it production-available for the
Foundation's Annual Members Meeting in March. A demonstration VM is
in-process on becoming available for people to test with their various
voting needs.
## Community Health:
Several community members have discussed the recent v3 work, have
contributed to the website, and have filed issues/PRs. The community
is unlikely to grow until a v3 is rolled out, which could create a
focal point to expand the community with newfound requirements.

-We plan to start the process of nominating new committers based on
consistent
contributions to the Synapse-Go project.
## Project Activity:
Activity on the Synapse-Go project continued this quarter but showed a
decline
compared to the previous period. Toward the end of the period, the main
Synapse (Java) codebase also saw a new contribution, indicating continued
interest in both the classic and Go-based implementations.
## Community Health:
The dev@synapse.apache.org mailing list saw a 41% increase in traffic this
past quarter, with 24 emails compared to 17 in the previous quarter. This
suggests a slight rebound in community engagement, particularly around
ongoing
contributions. Recognizing and onboarding active contributors from the
Synapse-Go effort as committers is a key focus area for the coming quarter.

- No new committers. Last addition was Christian Köberl on 2024-05-02.
## Project Activity:
The full rebuild of the Gradle build system is taking longer than initially
expected but is now close to completion. This investment was necessary to
establish a modern, maintainable foundation based on the latest Gradle
version, simplifying future support for both Jakarta EE and javax. It also
enabled a full dependency audit, alignment, and update across the project.
The other ongoing aspect of modernization, namely JavaScript module (ES6)
support and the replacement of CoffeeScript with TypeScript and typings, has
been completed. Releasing to NPM is not yet finalized.
Migration of the project website and documentation from the legacy Confluence
setup to Antora is also nearing completion, which will significantly improve
maintainability and contribution workflows.
Given the scope of these changes, both development- and user-facing, we
anticipate releasing a new major version within the next quarter, which will
consolidate these updates.
The planned transition of the project’s main development workflow to GitHub,
aimed at simplifying contributions and fostering community engagement, has
been postponed to focus resources on completing the above modernization
efforts. This remains a mid-term goal once the current foundation work is
complete.
## Community Health:
Community activity, such as the mailing lists, remains low, which is expected
given the stability of the 5.9 release and the lack of major regressions
reported.
JIRA activity stats for the last quarter:
3 opened
6 actively discussed/worked on
3 closed/resolved

efforts. The purpose of our project is to combine the power of the Apache
web server with the capabilities of the mature, robust and flexible Tcl
scripting language. Currently only the Apache Rivet project is actively
maintained.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
ssues for the board: The chair (Georgios
Petasis <petasis@apache.org>) does not seem to receive Apache Tcl-related
messages anymore. No mail has been received for the month's report, nor the
mails that the report was due. He receives mails from the foundation in
general, but not the ones related to the project. In addition, it is the
second reporting period that the report cannot be published with the "ASF
Board Report Wizard: Apache Tcl". The error is: "Something went wrong, and we
couldn't publish your report. Please check with the Whimsy tool to see if
there is already a report posted!".
## Membership Data:
Apache Tcl was founded 2000-07-24 (25 years ago)
There are currently 12 committers and 7 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.

- No new PMC members. Last addition was Brice Hamon De Crevecoer on 2014-11-25.
- No new committers. Last addition was Brice B. Hamon on 2014-11-25.
## Project Activity:
Work on making Tcl 9 the primary supported Tcl version still continues. During
this reporting period, work has been done towards releasing Rivet 3.2.7, in
the context of which two artefacts have been released (RC1 & RC2 for Rivet
3.2.7), which fix bugs found in Rivet 3.2.6 (mainly in the database
abstraction, ::DIO::Database class), and provide further enhancements to the
::DIO::Tdbc class, which was extended to support also sqlite and mariadb.
## Community Health:
The traffic of the mailing lists remained at similar levels in comparison to the
previous reporting period, which is normal for the project (as most traffic in
the list happens after new releases).

Attachment CD: Report from the Apache TinkerPop Project [Kelvin Lawrence]
## Description:
Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases
(OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP).
## Project Status:
The project is ongoing with relatively high activities this past quarter.
## Issues:
While we received a vulnerability report related to script processing in
gremlin-server, this issue was promptly resolved by the PMC with support
from the Apache Security Team. The reported issue was well-known, had
documented alternative processing options, and a longer term plan to wholly
change script processing for the next major version of 4.0 together
addressed the concern.
## Membership Data:

A web-based notebook that enables interactive data analytics
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing actively
Issues for the board: None. We resolved all security issues recently so there's
no security issue now.
## Membership Data:
Apache Zeppelin was founded 2016-05-18 (9 years ago)
There are currently 27 committers and 13 PMC members in this project.

- ChanHo Lee was added as committer on 2025-08-20
- Gyeongtae Park was added as committer on 2025-08-20
## Project Activity:
The Zeppelin community is currently focused on consolidating our two UIs
into a single, unified interface to provide a more consistent user
experience.
A significant effort is underway to add comprehensive testing to the new UI
and migrate features from the old UI to achieve functional parity. Our goal
is to deprecate the legacy UI within the next year.
On the backend, we are working to improve the architecture by eliminating
circular dependencies through the introduction of an event bus. We are
also addressing our slow CI infrastructure to improve developer
productivity
and plan to leverage GitHub repositories for a more efficient system.
Software development activity:
- We are actively adding test coverage to enhance the stability of the new
UI.
- Work is underway to migrate features that exist only in the legacy UI to
the new UI.
- We are introducing an event bus using RxJava to resolve circular
dependencies in the backend and improve the overall architecture.
- We are in the process of overhauling our slow CI infrastructure to
boost developer productivity, with plans to utilize a GitHub-based
CI system.
## Community Health:
The health of our community is exceptionally strong, primarily driven by the
ongoing Open Source Software Contribution Academy (OSSCA) program. This
initiative has proven to be a vital channel for attracting and nurturing
new contributors.
A significant indicator of the program's success is that two mentees from
last year's academy have recently been elected as new committers. They have
embraced their new roles by becoming mentors in this year's program,
creating a positive cycle of growth and leadership within the community.
So far, participants have created 88 pull requests, with 65 of them already
merged. To ensure their continued engagement after the program concludes,
we are strategically assigning them larger and more challenging issues. This
approach is designed to help them grow into long-term, core contributors.
