Approved by General Consent.
4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]
My focus has been on refamiliarizing myself with the current Members Meeting
process. The 2026 meeting structure has been created and messages have been
scheduled.
I observe that we have more projects that have not reported for multiple
months.
The Members Meeting and the Code of Conduct are going to be my focus for the
upcoming month.
B. President [Ruth Suehle]
Next week I will be in Brussels for Open Source Week events, again
representing ASF on a panel at the EU Open Policy Summit, as well as in a talk
and a panel at FOSDEM.
There's a lot of really interesting stuff happening in all our offices, but I
think the individual officer reports cover all that pretty well. Apologies for
my report being so late.
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 11.
C. Treasurer [Craig McClanahan]
Normal operations continue.
In particular, Lewis and I are collaborating on more detailed reports for the
transactions related to the areas for which officers have budgetary
responsibility.
D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]
In December, the secretary received 42 ICLAs and 1 CCLA.
E. Executive Vice President [Jeff Jirsa]
Code of Conduct email to outside counsel delayed from December to
January due to concerns with pro-bono limit; VP Legal indicated it
would send this week. Progress remains slow. EVP encourages the board
to add additional humans to push.
F. Vice Chair [Rich Bowen]
Nothing to report.

Attachment 2: Report from the VP of Fundraising [Bob Paulin]
1) ASF Sponsors:
a —New: we are in the final stages of onboarding a corporate contributor that
will be recognized as a Bronze Sponsor.
b —Renewals: we continue to actively pursue and advance Sponsor renewals and
retention. Over the course of 2025 we observed growing Sponsor challenges with
reduced/reallocated budgets and staffing layoffs, coupled with protracted
decision-making processes.
c —Payments: 1 —New: we did not receive any new Sponsor payments during this
timeframe. 2 —Received: we received Sponsorship renewal payments from one
Platinum, two Silver, and one Bronze Sponsor. We also received renewal
payments from two Silver Targeted Sponsors. 3 —Incoming: we await renewal
payments from one Platinum, three Gold, one Silver, and one Bronze Sponsor. We
also await a Gold Targeted Sponsorship payment.
2) Targeted Sponsors: we are in the final stages of onboarding a new Gold
Targeted Sponsor.
3) Sponsor Relations: we worked with Marketing & Publicity to promote ASF
end-of-year fundraising programs in tandem with the Giving Tuesday global day
of giving on 2 December. We published the final blog post in our 4-part series
on ways to support the ASF, and also contributed the "Continued Growth
Requires Continued Support" entry for the ASF 2025 Year in Review post. We
held our Q4 call with Gold and Platinum Sponsors on 10 December and featured
the ASF Tooling Initiative, with presentations and participation by VP Tooling
and Initiative seed funder Alpha Omega. We continue our outreach efforts to
encourage those needing to deploy end-of-year budgets to consider the ASF as a
worthy not-for-profit, community-led charitable organization.
4) Event Sponsorship: we continue to pursue the final outstanding sponsorship
payment from Community Over Code North America, and are ready to engage with
the ASF Conferences team on sponsorships for 2026 for Community Over Code
Europe. We are pleased to receive confirmation from some Sponsors that they
already have budgets allocated for the event.
5) Individual Donations and Corporate Giving: we received $19,450 in online
donations via https://donate.apache.org/ —this includes $5,750 in corporate
contributions by European organizations, paid in EUR and CHF. Our online
donation platform is proving to be increasingly valuable to those seeking to
make donations outside of traditional business hours, as well as non-US based
organizations who benefit from the ease and convenience of credit card
donations in multiple currencies. We also received additional corporate
contributions from employee incentive programs that convert their volunteer
hours to charitable dollars as well as matching gifts programs. Once again
this year we received charitable contributions from donor-advised funds (DAFs)
—as these are only distributed via paper check, processing them puts
additional administrative demand with the office of the President to ensure
their receipt and deposit prior to the end of the calendar year. Despite
stating on the Fundraising Web pages that we no longer accept donations via
paper check, we do continue to receive approximately one dozen donations
mailed to our virtual office this time of year.
6) Administrivia: we appreciate the ASF Treasury and Accounting teams for
their support during one of the busiest months of the year. We continue
working with the Infrastructure team on scaling Targeted Sponsorships to meet
growing PMC usage and plan for future demand.

Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [Danny Angus]
General
=======
Increased infrastructure donations have allowed us to migrate a number of
machines off of paid hosting into donated hosting. These migrations were
performed during planned operating system upgrades, and reduced Infra's
ongoing cash spend. Our ability to perform these migrations seamlessly
reflects positively on our commitment to Infrastructure as Code, and long-
term reduction in technical debt.
MFA Efforts
===========
Authentik MFA work continues with the primary implementation, backups, and DR
plans complete. Some gaps in performance and reliability arose during internal
acceptance testing. These have been mostly resolved, and wider UI/UX and load
testing is expected to begin within the week.
Abuse Response Handling
=======================
A sharp uptick in incidents and service outages caused
by distributed abuse and attacks on our infrastructure
prompted an upgrade in our tooling for mitigating
harmful requests. This upgrade has allowed us to
respond to and resolve incidents much faster, and
continue to work on a plan for reaching out to the
involved parties and working with them to resolve the
matter.
Our March roundtable will feature an introduction to these new tools, along
with a retrospective on the increased abuse in the past months.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Tooling [Dave Fisher]
# Tooling
Our new team member has settle in. The team is happy to have him. I have
extended our extra developer through March 31, 2026.
## Apache Trusted Releases (ATR)
Our current development focus is on the following tasks.
1. Publishing to Distribution channels with a focus on Nexus3 first
2. Completing the candidate checks in the composition phase
3. ASVS security review and necessary fixes
4. Aligning work issues to completion of features for the Beta
5. Preparing policy discussions related to the ATR
The repository is open for contributions and we have had several third party
contributions, few of which are any good. We have improved our developer
documentation and these are less of a distraction.
## Board Agenda Tool (BAT)
The tool is now stable and nearly complete. There are some improvements
waiting for volunteer developer time. Reporter integration with BAT is
progressing. We have a volunteer.
## Improvements to projects.apache.org and reporter.apache.org
We completed a long discussion on board@ about the reasons and plans for
Tooling to take charge of these services. The plan was brought to
dev@community. We now have the expected volunteer.

Attachment 6: Report from the VP of Conferences [Brian Proffitt]
Announced flagship event for 2026: Community Over Code Europe will be held
October 11-14, 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland. The event will feature at least one
co-located event, to be announced.
Track chairs and track options are being recruited now, with the plan to
launch the call for presentations right after FOSDEM week.
OpenUK has already reached out to us for event collaboration, and we also
already have an interested corporate sponsor. This, and given that we are
working about one month ahead of last year's schedule, gives me great
confidence in pulling off yet-another successful event in terms of quality and
fiscal impact.

Attachment 8: Report from the VP of Diversity and Inclusion [Daniel Gruno]
With FOSDEM coming up in two weeks, I will be sending out an email to all PMCs
this week to gauge interest in D&I work within the projects and solicit
feedback on our first planned[1] segment of analysis[2], Inclusion. This work
will be fully opt-in going forward, so the introductory email will also ask
the projects whether they wish to hear more from the D&I team and collaborate
on our work, or if they wish to handle their community health at their own
leisure, in which case we will leave them be for 2026 and focus on the
projects that have the time and interest to pursue this.
We have hit some issues with the survey solution which further delayed
progress, but this should be addressed now.
I have received several asks about informal D&I discussions at FOSDEM, and I
am hopeful that we can use that interest to put some energy back into this
committee.
At a later date (TBD), we'll be sending out a survey to the projects that have
indicated they want to participate in our D&I efforts. This survey will be
based in part on our existing data and frameworks, and in part on what the
projects indicate they feel or know is important to inclusion in their project.

Attachment 9: Report from the VP of Data Privacy [Christian Grobmeier]
# General
There are no issues that need urgent attention.
The last Data Privacy Report was in July 2025 and this report is for the
period since the last report.
## Privacy Committee
The _privacy committee_ are volunteers actively working for more privacy
within the ASF. There are four members of the Privacy committee.
## Privacy complaints / Removal requests
We received 2 requests since the last report in July 2025.
## Data Privacy Policies
There are seven Data Privacy policies listed on the policies page:
https://privacy.apache.org/policies/
The website policy was ratified by the board in January 2023 and the other six
policies are all in DRAFT form.
### Telemetry Usage in Downloaded/Installed Software
No work has been done on this since the last report. The Airflow PMC asked the
Board about their Telemetry usage in their Board Report in September 2025 and
received positive feedback.
The current policy is still in DRAFT format:
https://privacy.apache.org/policies/privacy-products-policy-medium.html
## Matomo
The ASF started hosting its own Matomo instance in March 2022 to provide
analytics for project websites that respected user's privacy:
https://analytics.apache.org/
In November 2025 the handover of the Matomo instance and VM to the
Infrastructure team was completed. The Privacy team appreciates all the work
Infra has done to achieve this and the fact that Infra is now supporting
Matomo. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-26367
Currently, 78 Matomo _Tracking Codes_ have been issued, 9 since the last
report in July 2025. There are 9 Matomo sites that don't receive traffic at
this point.
## Content Security Policy (CSP)
We continue to receive queries from projects about permissable modification of
the Content Security Policy for their websites.
## Analytics Usage Campaign
The _Privacy Committee_ receives a monthly report of ASF websites that utilise
external trackers/analytics that are not permitted by the _Privacy Policy_.
The number of websites using proscribed analytics on the monthly report has
reduced from 103 to 3 in the last 12 months (-97%).
# Open tasks
- Provide guidelines for advertising user mailing lists
- Create a list of WordPress sites
- Create a list of domains that are allowed to connect because a DPA is
covering it (improved Whimsy support)
- Better documentation about DPAs
- Add "canned responses" and instructions on how to run the privacy office to
the website
- Investigate TAC for data privacy and develop a targeted version for the
committee
- Clarify status of "donate.apache.org"
- Clarify status of "status.apache.org"
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 10: Report from the VP of Public Affairs [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
Pretty much all going along as expected - and not much change owing to the end
of year festivities.
That said - some things worth highlighting:
1) An opportunity to have our say on the "European Open Digital Ecosystem
Strategy" that will set out:
* a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses
the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU
technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
* a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development
and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the
results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software
Strategy.
See https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16213-European-Open-Digital-Ecosystems_en
and Isabel her post to members@.
2) FOSDEM is coming up - and it is bracketed by even more, and higher profile,
public policy events -- https://opensourceweek.eu has a fairly good list. As
to FOSDEM - I am expecting most of our work will be to continue to inform our
community & downstreams of the impact of the CRA with increasing fidelity. And
secondly that the practical side of things (SBOMs, (Paid for) Attestations,
etc) will get a boost from the informal contacts.
3) I'll see if I can tempt someone (ideally European) to take my/foundations
seat in the steering committee of ORC at Eclipse -- as this is certainly
something we want to keep supporting/furthering. May continue for another year
myself if needed (as I do not want to distract any of our ASF volunteer doing
useful work for this somewhat more symbolic/governance specific role).

Attachment 11: Report from the VP of ECMA Relations [Piotr Karwasz]
There were no noteworthy developments this month.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 12: Report from the VP of W3C Relations [Andy Seaborne]
Niklas Merz <niklasmerz@> has joined the W3C WebDX Community Group.
This is the first member of this Community Group and the Foundation
has signed the Community Group agreement.
-----------------------------------------
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 flat at
25 issues compared to the last month.
We started working with DLAPiper on two new subpoenas. Note that one came with
additional weird summon via snail mail that we need to understand how to
address. Even if DLAPiper won't be able to help us long term with these -- we
expect and answer on how to handle the additional summon this week.
In general, we need to, once again solicit additional pro-bono legal counsel
hours since with DLAPiper (however excellent their support has been) we're
constantly running into cross-representations issue and that slows things down
at best (they need to obtain a waiver) or blocks us from using their services
at worst. I started poking around legal committee members to see if they know
any lawyers who may want to do this kind of work for us, but I would also
encourage board members to do the same.
We've officially offered committer privileges to Jude Smith (something that
had a lazy consensus about two months ago on Legal Committee mailing list --
but just slipped through the cracks on my TODO list -- sorry about that).
Based on conversation with some of the board members around the Code of
Conduct, VP Legal has sent a clarification to the board@ mailing list and is
awaiting further instructions from the board.
The US DoJ was interested in understanding more about how the foundation
works, the license, and specifically the situation with Fivetran's Proposed
Acquisition of dbt Labs. Ruth Suehle took the lead on taking care of that
interview.
We have received one more request for detailed export compliance statement
from Thales Global Services and responded with our general policy.
Proposal for Updating Apache License 2.0 to Version 3.0 (brought by an outside
contributor) has been rejected.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 14: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark J. Cox]
December
* We continue to help projects define a security model, this month Hudi.
* We're providing feedback in the Alpha release of Apache Trusted Release
* We're closely following Infra's progress in rolling out MFA and intend to
provide feedback and assistance.
Stats for December 2025:
41 [license confusion]
19 [report/question relating to dependencies]
25 [support request/question not security notification]
Security reports: 91 (last months: 85, 66)
17 ['logging']
10 ['airflow']
6 ['cassandra']
5 ['superset']
4 ['cloudstack']
3 ['james', 'tvm', 'website or other infrastructure']

'guacamole', 'hadoop', 'hc', 'httpd', 'hugegraph', 'kafka',
'manifoldcf', 'mynewt', 'ofbiz', 'ranger', 'sis',
'spark', 'struts', 'syncope', 'texera', 'tika']
In total, as of 1st Jan 2026, we're tracking 297 (last months: 268, 244) open
issues across 90 projects, median age 105 days (last months: 103, 100). 74 of
those issues have CVE names assigned. 20 (last months: 20, 23) of these
issues, across 11 projects, are older than 365 days.
* fineract (Health amber): there are a number of open issues over a year old.
The PMC is making progress with documentation and architectural changes, and
more focus expected to close out these issues. (Last update: 2026-01-06)
* openoffice (Health amber): Several issues in OpenOffice are over 365 days
old. They are not severe enough to warrant stopping distribution of
OpenOffice. A recent release fixed the most serious and complex ones, making
space to now focus on the remaining issues. (Last update: 2026-01-06)
* spark (Health amber): the project has a backlog of security reports to be
triaged (Last update: 2025-12-01)
* thrift (Health amber): the PMC does not appear to have the bandwidth to
triage incoming reports in a timely fashion (Last update: 2026-01-06)

Attachment H: Report from the Apache Arrow Project [Antoine Pitrou]
## 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)
Community Health Score (Chi): 10.00 (Super Healthy)
* Score note: More than 4 emails per day to all MLs combined in the past
quarter (+1.00氣)
* Score note: New members() added to the LDAP committee group within the last
six months (+0.50氣)
* Score note: New committer(s) invited within the last three months (+0.75氣)
Issues for the board:
* A release announcement for ADBC-22 was rejected by announce@apache.org,
though the format is the same as previous announcements. Are there new
requirements? Are the rules for posting to announce@a.o spelled out clearly
somewhere?
## 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:
* Rossi Sun was added to the PMC on 2025-10-06
* Kyle Barron was added as committer on 2025-10-07
We don’t have any diversity stats (gender, nationality, etc.) but there’s
probably a massive imbalance. We would welcome opinions from the ASF board on
how to gather such data and improve things in that regard.
Another topic that might be worth addressing is whether we need some kind of
emeritus status for long-time inactive project members.
## Project Activity:
The project has an [active blog](https://arrow.apache.org/blog/) where you can
find more information on recent releases.
### Community events
We have held the [first Arrow summit]
(https://www.meetup.com/pydata-paris/events/310646396/) in October 2025,
co-located with the PyData Paris conference. The event was open to everyone
and entrance was free. There were around 35 attendees, half experienced Arrow
contributors and half interested onlookers. The day consisted mostly of small
presentations and free discussions around the attendees. We consider the
event to be a success as it allowed tightening social bonds among a rather
diverse community comprised of numerous sub- and side-projects.
No recording is available as we didn’t have any A/V apparatus in the room.
### Final demise of Voltron Data
Voltron Data, who until 2024 employed many Arrow contributors, has finally
ended all activity. This isn’t affecting the project’s sustainability as most
Arrow contributors had already been laid off one year ago, but some pieces of
infrastructure that were still managed by Voltron Data had to be migrated
urgently. We have averted all immediate risks and development has resumed as
normal, though a couple minor issues remain to be resolved.
### Final end of the monorepo
We have completed the envisioned codebase splits to organize the various
language implementations as independent git repositories (still under the
Apache Arrow umbrella, though). The ex-monorepo (`apache/arrow` on GitHub)
lives on as the home for the C++ implementation and its dependent language
bindings (Python, R, Ruby, MATLAB, C/GLib).
### Community Organization
The Arrow project is increasingly organized as different communities focused
on the different Arrow language implementations (e.g C++ and bindings like
Python, Rust, Go, etc). These communities collaborate on the overall Arrow
specification and interoperability issues. This structure seems to be working
well as the project grows and matures and there are newly separate
repositories for arrow-go, arrow-dotnet, arrow-julia, arrow-swift.
### Recent Releases:
* RS-OS-0.13.0 was released on 2025-12-23.
* GO-18.5.0 was released on 2025-12-12.
* RS-57.1.0 was released on 2025-11-24.
* ADBC-21 was released on 2025-11-07.
* 22.0.0 was released on 2025-10-24.
* RS-57.0.0 was released on 2025-10-23.
* DOTNET-22.1.0 was released on 2025-10-17.
* JS-21.1.0 was released on 2025-10-07.
#### arrow-rs
The Rust implementation continues a monthly release cadence. We have been
focusing on expanding coverage for newer Arrow array types such as ListView
and RunEndEncoded. We have also invested heavily in the Rust parquet reader,
which is described in several blogs [1] [2]. A new optimized reader to read
avro to Arrow arrays was also released, see [3].

[3]: https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2025/10/23/introducing-arrow-avro/
## Community Health:
Based on mailing-list volume, project activity remains steady.
Quarter-to-quarter variations can probably be attributed to random oscillation
rather than any structural change. Of note, several projects such as Arrow C++
and Arrow Rust have GitHub discussions enabled to help with user questions
(those are echoed on user@arrow.apache.org, so are still accounted for in the
stats below).
All metrics from https://reporter.apache.org/wizard/?arrow#, for posterity:
* builds@arrow.apache.org had a 55% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(462 emails compared to 297)
* dev@arrow.apache.org had a 60% increase in traffic in the past quarter (290
emails compared to 181)
* github@arrow.apache.org had a 4% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(15882 emails compared to 15201)
* issues@arrow.apache.org had a 69% increase in traffic in the past quarter

* user@arrow.apache.org had a 40% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (98
emails compared to 162)

Attachment I: Report from the Apache Artemis Project [Christopher L. Shannon]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Artemis is the creation of a high-performance,
multi-protocol open source messaging platform designed to power modern
microservices and cloud-native applications.
## Project Status:
Current project status: New
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Artemis was founded 2025-11-18
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:
The Artemis TLP membership was initially a full copy of the ActiveMQ TLP
with the same PMC members and committers so everyone retained the same rights
as before the split.
Andy Taylor was added as a PMC member on 11th December 2025.
## Project Activity:
Apache Artemis was established on 2025-11-18 after splitting out from Apache
ActiveMQ. Since then, work has continued towards completing the migration with
aim towards being ready to do the first Apache Artemis releases. Business is
also continuing as usual in terms of addressing user bug reports and
functionality requests.
Since the December report, many more updates have been made towards readying
for Apache Artemis releases. Work was undertaken to update the management
console branding / visual identity to reflect the separation and give the new
Apache Artemis releases an distinct look. Many updates have been made to the
documentation to address the new project identity. The next release version
was advanced from 2.45.0 to 2.50.0 to add a small gap to signal the
transition, and generally just serve as a nicer transition reference point
going forward. The Maven module groupId was switched to org.apache.artemis in
the artemis, artemis-console, and artemis-examples repos, with relocation poms
to redirect users from the previous ActiveMQ Artemis modules to signal the
switch and allow for them to transition their builds over time.
A candidate for Apache Artemis Console 1.5.0 is currently under vote, towards
being used soon in an Apache Artemis 2.50.0 release once some remaining work
on the transition is complete.
## Community Health:
The community is healthy and there continues to be little impact to users as
everything transitions to the new TLP.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment J: Report from the Apache AsterixDB Project [Ian Maxon]
## Description:
The mission of AsterixDB is the creation and maintenance of software related to
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 (10 years ago)
There are currently 43 committers and 30 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Peeyush Gupta was added to the PMC on 2025-12-02
- Shahrzad Haji Amin Shirazi was added as a committer on 2026-01-13
## Project Activity:
Releases:
The next release is still pending on some documentation and packaging work. Part
of this was solved by the Containerized Packaging (APE 27) but there still needs
to be a walk through on how to set the system up on top of object storage so
that some of the new features (Atomic Statements, etc.) can be used.
APEs:
- APE 28 (Improved Async API) was accepted and related changes merged
- APE 29 (Atomic Statements) is still drafting, the discussion has not started
yet in earnest.
- APE 30 (Sandboxed UDFs) was proposed and saw a little discussion on the dev
list, but not enough yet.
- APE 31 (Vector Indexing) was proposed. Some smaller patches related to it are
already under review
## Community Health:
I continued to try and draw more activity to both the dev@ list and ASF
Slack's
#asterixdb channel. For the former I am not sure why the traffic is so far
down- I think this just tends to be a quarter where folks are busy with other
things for one reason or another. Hopefully it picks up in the next quarter.
For the latter, I am trying to use it as a place where little questions and
notifications about day-to-day development issues. For example, if I notice
(or cause) a test breakage I post about it there first to try and encourage
that as an avenue to quickly find out what might be going on. Kind of
treating it like IRC.
Peeyush was added to the PMC, and it's great to have him. He was responsible
for the design of many new features (Atomic statements, COPY FROM/TO, etc.) so
it will be great to have him take part in deciding the future direction of the
project. Shahrzad was added as a committer just in time for this report, and
it is likewise great to have her on board. She has been involved in the
project for many years, and has been in charge of the implementation of
Heterogeneous-type indexes, which is an awesome feature.

Attachment K: Report from the Apache Attic Project [Hervé Boutemy]
## Description:
The mission of Attic is the creation and maintenance of a home for dormant
projects.
## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache Attic was founded 2008-11-19 (17 years ago)
There are currently 19 committers and 17 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 Niall Pemberton on 2025-04-04.
- No new committers. Last addition was Niall Pemberton on 2025-04-04.
## Project Activity:
Attic worked on retiring 5 projects:
- Griffin and Portals, finishing from previous quarter,
- Kibble and Traffic Control,
- Olingo, still work in progress. Progress tracked at
https://attic.apache.org/tracking.html
A first "after 6 months" feedback has been shared with M&P on Social Media
accounts update from retired projects:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/jbvovbxp17mws35bhwfgv7rv7bklwm41
Some rework will have to happen with M&P on Social Media management, as it
appears getting access to account *after* project has been retired (= when
Attic is involved) is not easy: we'll contact M&P.
We are working with Tooling ATR project to make sure retirement of committees
and move of their projects to Attic Committee works.
## Community Health:
3 active members continue to drive operations, with new small improvements
found on process and tools. Having more people involved in actual retirement
would be useful to spread the load and check our documentation is complete.

Attachment N: Report from the Apache bRPC Project [James Ge]
## Description:
The mission of Apache bRPC is the creation and maintenance of software related
to an industrial-grade RPC framework for building reliable and
high-performance services
## Project Status:
Current project status: ONGOING Issues for the board: NONE
## Membership Data:
Apache bRPC was founded 2022-12-21 (3 years ago) There are currently 21
committers and 14 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Guangming Chen on 2025-01-06.
- No new committers. Last addition was Yang Liming on 2024-03-24.
## Project Activity:
bRPC v1.15.0 was released on 2025-10-27 with the following new features:
- Support custom ParkingLot number
- Add pb2json depth limit
- Tens of bug fix and enhancement
## Community Health:
Committers take turns responding user emails and issues on a weekly basis.
During the past quarter, about 52 new emails were received and answered
weekly.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment O: Report from the Apache BuildStream Project [Abderrahim Kitouni]
## Description:
The mission of Apache BuildStream is the creation and maintenance of software
related to efficiently and correctly developing, building and integrating
software stacks
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache BuildStream was founded 2022-09-21 (3 years ago)
There are currently 6 committers and 6 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Abderrahim Kitouni on 2022-09-21.
- No new committers were added.
## Project Activity:
We had a new release in October, and we're on track for another release
this month. We're keeping up with a more or less quarterly release schedule.
In terms of new features, we got a new source information API that allows source
plugins to communicate to the BuildStream core the provenance of the sources it
downloaded. This allows building tools to generate SBoM (Software Bill of
Materials) for BuildStream projects. We also got a feature to allow software
running inside the BuildStream sandbox to access Remote Execution API (REAPI).
This allows things such as running Bazel inside the BuildStream sandbox and
taking advantage of the cache or remote execution.
## Community Health:
There has been a increase in the mailing list traffic this past quarter, mainly
due to the discussion around extending the nested REAPI to preemptively schedule
build actions.
We also had two new contributors sending (small) pull requests.

## Community Health
The community seems very actively engaged. We are closing issues faster than
they are opened; this is unusual. (A big credit is due to Zhen Chen, who has
been closing many old and new issues.) Besides fixing many bugs and adding new
features, we have seen some significant contributions, such as a new query
decorrelation algorithm contributed by Silun Dong. I think the last year has
seen a marked improvement of the reliability of Calcite, especially in
handling complex queries.
- 142 JIRA tickets opened and 151 closed in the past quarter.

## Description:
The mission of Causeway is to enable the rapid development of maintainable
domain-driven apps in Java.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Causeway was founded 2012-10-17 (13 years ago)
There are currently 16 committers and 16 PMC members in this project.

## Project Activity:
In the last quarter we released Causeway 3.5.0 [1] which was mostly a security
release (CVE-2025-64408).
In parallel we are working on the 4.x branch, based on Spring Boot 4, which
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, there has been a
series of articles on devm.io [2,3,4,5], and a new series of articles on
javapro
[6, 7].

Attachment T: 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.
There is also a sub-project that leverages CXF:
Fediz - Fediz helps you to secure your web applications via the standard
WS-Federation Passive Requestor Profile.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, moderate activity
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache CXF was founded 2008-04-15 (18 years ago)
There are currently 44 committers and 26 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Andy McCright on 2019-02-24.
- No new committers. Last addition was Jamie Mark Goodyear on 2024-07-19.
## Project Activity:
Jakarta EE 11 platform support is about to be released, the preparation is well
underway and the vote is expected to be sent this week for Apache CXF 4.2.0
release. The team decided to go ahead with Undertow 2.4.0.Alpha1 release,
instead of removing Undertow support altogether.
Recent releases:
3.6.9 was released on 2025-11-17.
4.0.10 was released on 2025-11-17.
4.1.4 was released on 2025-11-17.
## Community Health:
For the most part, the project is making steady, but not stellar, progress
(although 4.2.0 / Jakarta EE 11 is big deal). 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, along with 4.2.0 release.

related to well-tested libraries that help developers solve common data
problems in Hadoop and similar distributed systems
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing (low)
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache DataFu was founded 2018-02-21 (8 years ago)
There are currently 20 committers and 12 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 5:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Ohad Raviv on 2023-02-06.
- No new committers. Last addition was Ben Rahamim on 2025-02-19.
## Project Activity:
Most of the activity in this quarter has been defining task for the next
version and writing/reviewing the blog post about one of the contributions
from the last release.
## Community Health:
Most of the activity this quarter has been around the definition of new issues
in Jira and the blog post. We definitely need to increase our use of the
mailing list (as Rich Bowen wrote recently) because too much of our activity
takes place off of it.

Attachment V: Report from the Apache DB Project [Bryan Pendleton]
## Description:
The mission of the Apache DB project is to create and maintain
commercial-quality, open-source, database solutions based on software licensed
to the Foundation, for distribution at no charge to the public.
The Apache DB TLP consists of the following subprojects:
o JDO : focused on building the API and the TCK for compatibility
testing of Java Data Object implementations providing data
persistence.
o Torque : an object-relational mapper for Java.
## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing
Issues for the board: none
Please see the Project Activity section of our report for some
significant updates.
## Membership Data:
Apache DB was founded 2002-07-16 (23 years ago)
There are currently 48 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 Max Philipp Wriedt on 2024-07-03.
- No new committers. Last addition was Max Philipp Wriedt on 2023-04-14.
## Project Activity:
The JDO project is working on cleaning up the TCK to make multithreaded
queries more efficient and has encountered some underlying issues
that are taking a while to resolve. Once these are resolved,
we will start looking at making a release.
Two significant changes are underway in the DB project:
- Apache DB have voted to select a new PMC chair, Jeffery Painter, and
approved the proposal with 10 positive votes. The Special Order to
ratify the new chair is in this month's agenda.
- The Derby codebase has been moved to read-only state. This
includes the website (https://db.apache.org/derby/), mailing lists, wiki
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DERBY/FrontPage),
Subversion repository, and JIRA bug tracker. Official distributions
remain available on an as-is basis at
https://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.
## Community Health:
Although the action to move the Derby codebase to read-only state
reflects a general decline in community interest in the Derby
software, overall the DB project remains in good health. Both the
JDO and Torque communities experience steady activity, with
ongoing development and periodic releases in both codebases.
PMC participation in the recent decisions described above was
strong, with a dozen PMC members participating in the discussions
and broad consensus to make the changes described, including from
3 PMC members in the Derby community.

The most recent release was done using ATR in early test phase.
Security fixes were made. Test coverage has been improving throughout the
year and new documentation has been added.
There are new modularization efforts underway, although this remains a major
area of work.
This is an active development project, growing interest.
## Community Health:
At a high level, the community is generally ok.
* Participation at Community Over Code conference - and Fintech Security
Track. Successful engagement by several community members.
* Great example in 2025 -engaging Dev discussion about Build issues,
approachability and ease of build as a key driver, good engagement,
resolution and transparent. Called out by PMC chair to celebrate.
https://lists.apache.org/thread/f983bj5328zd0cnwtpqqx8vfd0wnpj0o
* AI policy discussions - how to use AI appropriately - started discussion.
https://lists.apache.org/thread/xxoqt3jn8trhwo1lnxjy46r1dkolfg1h
There are active and important discussions of functionality and direction on
the list. Conversation that occur on Mifos Slack #fineract channel are being
generally summarized back to the email list.
There has been a recent and growing flood of people to the project, with many
coming as candidates for GSOC - adding to volumes on the list. These are Mifos
GSOC participants.

Attachment AB: 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: Active but Quiet
Issues for the board: None 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.
- No new committers. Last addition was Ryan Thenhaus on 2025-02-08.
- Am following up on ICLAs for M. Grivel, and A. Fluck, who were voted in as
committers and officially invited to join as committers.
## Project Activity:
Project activity was extremely low this quarter. PMC will push for
maintainance activities in the upcoming quarters. I know there is interest in
doing more work with Open Telemetry integration, and so PMC will work to
coordinate more effort in that direction in the new year.
## Community Health:
The community regularly corresponds and PMC is aware of some ad hoc meetings
between members. However, driving correspondence through official community
challenges remains very challenging. Additionally, the project remains visible
and relevant as there has been a surge of interest in business analytics,
particularly in easy-to-use and maintain client packages that can log in Open
Telemetry Logging Protocol (OTLP). I believe that we'll see a surge of new
code coming in from committers in that that direction as well as a the typical
annual maintenance that the community and PMC reliably does on core products
like UserALE.js. Overall, while it's too early to see if the monorepo
structure has an impact on organic project growth, it hasn't seemed to deter
end-users. I am continually surprised to hear in correspondence with the PMC
and in my own work anecdotes of how a variety of industries (including the AAA
gaming industry) are aware of Flagon and consider it a viable tool for their
own purposes.

Attachment AE: 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.

3.4.0 was released on 2024-03-17.
## Community Health:
- Full Support for JDK 17 and JDK 21 To achieve full support for JDK 17 and
JDK 21, we advanced upgrades to code quality tools compatibility, API
documentation generation tools, and the build system.
1. We fixed new warnings introduced by the SpotBugs plugin upgrade across
modules, such as Common, HDFS, YARN, and MapReduce ensuring stable builds
in JDK 17/21 environments (HADOOP-19731[1]).
2. At the same time, we refactored and reintegrated the JDiff tool (which no
longer supported JDK 9+) based on JDK 17 restoring API change comparison
capabilities and providing assurance for version releases and compatibility
checks (HADOOP-19402[2]).
3. In addition, we completed upgrades the build and CI pipelines unifying the
base build JDK to JDK 17, covering local builds and continuous integration
processes, and laying a solid foundation for subsequent validation and
formal support of JDK 21.
- JDK 22+ Compatibility and Adaptation in Progress We continue to advance
Hadoop's compatibility with JDK 22 and higher versions, focusing on changes
in Java security model and thread semantics.
1. By introducing SubjectInheritingThread / SubjectPreservingThread, we
restored the propagation semantics of Subject across threads ensuring
correctness in security scenarios such as Kerberos.
2. Simultaneously, we refactored historical dependencies on SecurityManager
avoiding deprecation or termination warnings in JDK 24+ environments.
3. Related changes have been progressively validated by module and partially
merged into the main branch laying the foundation for formal support of JDK
24/25 (HADOOP-19668[3], HADOOP-19670[4], HADOOP-19744[5]).
- New CapacityScheduler Web UI Support We advanced the visualization
capabilities of YARN Capacity Scheduler, introducing a brand-new
CapacityScheduler Web UI that supports hierarchical display of queue
structures, resource quotas, and runtime status, while providing visualized
viewing and management of scheduling configurations. This feature has been
integrated into the ResourceManager, and continues to be refined through
multiple PRs, and improves the observability and usability of scheduler
configuration and operations (YARN-11885[6]).
- The Project shows healthy engagement based on Mailing list/JIRA/Github
traffic.

Attachment AI: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Justin Mclean]
# Incubator PMC report for January 2026
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 December, there are 30 podlings under incubation. One successful
release was made during the month, and no IP clearances were completed. No
podlings graduated, and no podlings retired. There were no additions or
removals to IPMC membership.
Mailing list traffic during the month focused on release voting, graduation
discussions, and follow-ups on reporting and potential retirement, along
with updates to Incubator training materials.
Two new navigation paths for the Incubator Training site were introduced:
browsing by theme and browsing by topic, making it easier to locate
relevant material. A search page for Incubator training resources was also
added to improve discoverability across the training content.
Burr, Fluss and Geaflow were invited to take part in their six-month
reviews and all accepted.
Several new Incubator Field Guides were published. These provide practical,
experience-based advice for mentors, PPMCs and IPMC members. The guides
were created by reviewing and analysing real Incubator mailing list
discussions from the past five years, documenting governance in action and
how the Incubator has handled recurring issues, with some AI assistance
to identify patterns. Topics added include community governance, community
proposals, edge cases, graduation identity, graduation readiness,
graduation votes, incubation readiness, initial committer selection,
licensing and provenance, naming and branding, naming and trademarks,
proposal discussions, release announcements, release review issues,
releases and release votes.
A discussion took place regarding how podlings may establish official
WeChat channels, along with broader guidance on the responsible use of chat
and instant messaging platforms within incubation.
A new guide on the use of emerging technologies was added, focusing on
applying ASF values rather than creating new policy, preserving human
accountability and highlighting privacy and licensing risks.
The experimental podling health reports are being adopted and are showing
measurable improvements in the quality and consistency of podling reporting.
OpenServerless has begun discussion of its first release.
Most podlings continue to make steady progress toward graduation.
Livy continues graduation discussions, and Toree completed a release this
month and plans to begin graduation discussions after the vote concludes.
HugeGraph voted to graduate. A graduation discussion for Gluten uncovered
several third-party branding issues, which the podling is addressing.
ResilientDB and Polaris are likely to graduate soon. Baremaps is likely to
retire.
Pegasus is experiencing significant community attrition, with many core
members having left, which has slowed development and is currently blocking
both graduation discussions and release progress. The podling is working to
encourage new contributors and plans to add additional committers and
PPMC members in early 2026.
Fesod attempted its first incubating release, which surfaced a number of
ASF compliance issues. The podling is addressing those issues and plans
to begin a new release vote.
One podling, PonyMail, failed to submit a report and will be asked to
report next month. All submitted podling reports had mentors` sign-off.

8:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Alex O'Ree was added to the PMC on 2025-11-06
- Alex O'Ree was added as committer on 2025-11-07
## Project Activity:
Alex O'Ree joined JSPWiki this quarter, bringing a lot of energy to the
project.
Most notable activity this quarter revolved around fixing long-standing
issues, security findings, administration-related capabilities and dependency
updates.
A big portion of the security findings have been sitting on JIRA for a very
long time, and never were discussed on private. Most probably they were filed
on JIRA under incubation, but ended up falling through the cracks.
We're still discussing one security issue, after which we will focus on
releasing 3.0.0.
## Community Health:
Work on latest master shows commits from three committers.
No questions unanswered on MLs, although they continue to have very little
traffic, aside from JIRA/GitHub generated mails.

Attachment AX: Report from the Apache NiFi Project [David Handermann]
## Description:
The mission of NiFi is the creation and maintenance of software related to
providing an easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and
distribute data.
Apache NiFi MiNiFi is an edge data collection agent built to seamlessly
integrate with and leverage the command and control of NiFi. There are both
Java and C++ implementations.
Apache NiFi Registry is a centralized registry for key configuration items
including flow versions, assets, and extensions for Apache NiFi and Apache
MiNiFi.
Apache NiFi NAR Maven Plugin is an extension for Apache Maven supporting
NiFi Archive creation for runtime isolated class loading.
Apache NiFi Flow Design System is a theme-able set of high quality UI
components and utilities for use across the various Apache NiFi web
applications in order to provide a more consistent user experience.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with high activity
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache NiFi was founded 2015-07-14 (10 years ago)
There are currently 55 committers and 41 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:6.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Mark Bathori was added to the PMC on 2025-11-11
- Rob Fellows was added to the PMC on 2025-11-11
- Shane Ardell was added as committer on 2025-11-21
## Project Activity:
Apache NiFi released version 2.7.0 on 2025-12-09. This release included
several important bugs related to renaming component properties, which exposed
some issues with automated framework upgrades processes. These issues prompted
the rapid release of version 2.7.1 on 2025-12-12 and 2.7.2 on 2025-12-17.
Although the initial 2.7.0 version highlighted some gaps in framework upgrade
features, the identification, resolution, and subsequent releases highlight
strong community engagement and the responsiveness of project contributors.
The project also released Apache NiFi API 2.4.0 on 2025-10-16 and Apache NiFi
API 2.5.0 on 2025-11-08. The decoupled release process for the Apache NiFi API
and the Apache NiFi application continue provide a useful implementation
strategy for features that impact public-facing extension interfaces and
classes.
The project published CVE-2025-66524 on 2025-12-19 in response to a
notification from Jaeyeong Lee. Although the vulnerability is high severity
due to deserialization of untrusted data, the impact was limited in scope to a
particular extension component, making it straightforward to resolve and
mitigate for current installations. Apache NiFi 2.7.0 resolved the
vulnerability, and the disclosure notice described an optional mitigation.
## Community Health:
Community health remains strong, with the addition of two PMC members and one
committer, all of whom have contributed steadily to the project over multiple
years.
Mailing list activity remains steady, with an incremental increase in traffic
on the users list over the previous quarter. Participation on Slack also
remains steady, approaching 4000 members. The number of followers on Linked
has passed 3500, adding over 300 from the previous quarter.
The community has had several important discussions on the future of the
MiNiFi and NiFi Registry sub-projects. These discussions have included
proposals to decouple MiNiFi from the main NiFi project, and a proposal to
deprecate NiFi Registry in favor of alternatives that now provide direct
access to versioning services such as GitHub and GitLab. The discussion on
MiNiFi did not result in any definitive changes for now. The discussion on
NiFi Registry is ongoing. The PMC continues to engage actively with committers
and interested users, balancing historical and desired features with available
maintainer cycles and future project direction.

### Recent Releases
4.1.16 was released on 2025-11-10
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
2026-01-04: 395,976,603
### 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):
We have initiated a discussion about a roadmap.
### Documentation
The OpenOffice-docs repository is where the small documentation team makes
updates.
The chapters and complete Book of the Calc Guide have been published. The
Chapters and the complete book of the Impress Guide have been published.
doc@openoffice.apache.org had a 53% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
(22 emails compared to 46): The OpenOffice.org repository has had the usual
Download count updates.
### User Support
User Forums (forum.openoffice.org) remain active in English, Spanish, French,
Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, and Polish.
users@openoffice.apache.org had a 32% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(57 emails compared to 43): users-de@openoffice.apache.org had a 23% decrease

### Translation Interface
The migration progresses slowly. We have managed to push the local from the
local repository on the machine to GitBox. This gives us more flexibility.
The next step is to establish the translation process between Pootle files and
SDF files. The latter are used by OpenOffice.
In parallel, we investigate Weblate as a replacement for Pootle. If a
transition can be done smoothly, we will directly migrate to Weblate. If
blockers pop up, we return to the Pootle migration.
### Templates and Extensions Site
These sites will be transitioned to static HTML sites by SourceForge.
The template site has been completed. We are investigating and planning a new
service.
### 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 about whether we can sign the complete
product of AOO.
### OpenGrok
OpenGrok now runs on a Docker setup. We see some minor issues.
### 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.
### 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.

## Membership Data:
Apache TinkerPop was founded 2016-05-17 (10 years ago)
There are currently 31 committers and 16 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 Cole Greer on 2025-06-02.
- No new committers. Last addition was Andrea Child on 2025-08-11.
## Project Activity:
The project delivered a significant milestone this quarter with the release of
TinkerPop 3.8.0 on November 12, 2025 [1]. This transitional release introduces
substantial improvements to Gremlin language consistency and usability,
including standardized scoping behavior, simplified grammar syntax, and
enhanced interoperability between related steps. Key features include new type
conversion steps and filtering capabilities for mixed-type properties, and
initial support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) with the gremlin-mcp server.
Along with 3.8.0, we published a maintenance release of TinkerPop 3.7.5 with
critical bug fixes and non-breaking improvements [2].
Following the successful 3.7.5 and 3.8.0 release, development focus has
returned to TinkerPop 4.0. The community continues active development on both
maintenance updates for the 3.7.x/3.8.x line and major architectural
improvements for the 4.0 release.
### Releases:
3.7.5 was released on 2025-11-12.
3.8.0 was released on 2025-11-12.
## Community Health:
The TinkerPop community maintains strong engagement with consistent
contributions from core committers and active participation from users on the
dev list and in our Discord server.
We have observed increased dev list activity, particularly driven by
YouTrackDB discussions. Given this growth and the limitations of Discord voice
channels, the community decided to introduce regular Microsoft Teams meetings
[3], open to anyone who wishes to join, to enhance collaboration and provide
real-time discussion opportunities. Meeting notes are recorded on the dev
list, with the first meeting held on December 9 [4].
This quarter featured three live events on Twitch [5]: TinkerPop Wide sessions
exploring graph-enhanced AI memory and NetworkX cloud analytics with Amazon
Neptune, and two-part Contributorcast sessions reviewing the 3.8.0
post-release. All recordings are available on our YouTube channel [6]:

Attachment CD: Report from the Apache Training Project [Justin Mclean]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Training is the creation and maintenance of software
related to training materials for Apache projects and the Apache Software
Foundation
## Project Status:
Current project status: New
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Training was founded 2025-08-20 (5 months ago)
There are currently 18 committers and 5 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Andrew Wetmore on 2025-08-20.
- No new committers were added.
## Project Activity:
November saw a small amount of activity with updates to training materials,
including additions related to vendor neutrality and governance topics.
December was a very quiet month with little visible activity in either the
repository or mailing list.
This reflects the typical activity pattern for Apache Training where the
project has a small contributor base and work tends to occur in bursts driven
by external needs, particularly around conferences and related ASF training
efforts, rather than as steady month-to-month development.
## Community Health:
The community is small and stable. Most work continues to come from a small
number of existing contributors. Mailing list traffic was minimal in December
following limited activity in November, and there were no new contributors
during this period.

## Community Health:
"Hyper stable" as always. We handled the roll call vote in November just fine.
We may not be fast movers as projects go, but neither do we need to be.
Things are working fine and the project has reliable oversight, even if we
are a bit sloth-like.

graduation.
We are currently working on fixing some issues with the FileObjectSources and
updating the Flink platform to the latest DataStream API. One major thing we
have planned is a significant improvement of our documentation.
We are planning a new release for the end of January.
## Community Health:
Community activity has remained steady over the last quarter. Traffic on the
dev list has increased and discussions have been constructive, with an
emphasis on preparing for graduation and coordinating the remaining
IPMC-related tasks.
Participation has been consistent, and we continue to respond promptly to PRs
and technical questions. We are also seeking more contributors not only for
code, but also for documentation, blogs, and other areas.
We have seen increased interest since we became a TLP.
