4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]
This is the first meeting of the newly elected board following the Annual
Members Meeting. I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the outgoing
directors and welcome the incoming ones.
Thank you to Jim Jagielski, Rich Bowen, and Kanchana Pradeepika Welagedara for
their service and their contributions to the foundation during their tenure on
the board. Their dedication to the Apache Way and the health of the Foundation
has been greatly appreciated.
Welcome back to Christofer Dutz, and welcome to new Directors Christopher
Schultz and Emmanuel Lécharny. We have already seen good engagement with the
Board Agenda Tool, which is encouraging. As we settle in, it may be useful to
calibrate on a few recurring questions: what does "dormant" mean in the
context of a project? When do we typically suggest the Attic? How do we handle
missing reports? And when do we flag a committee report? These are worth
aligning on as a board early in the term.
I also want to welcome the new members who were voted in at the Members
Meeting. It is always good to see the membership grow.
The Members Meeting itself is a significant undertaking, and I want to
acknowledge the considerable effort that goes into running it. It is a process
I am keen to continue improving. I am still working on finalizing attendance
numbers — once I am confident that the last five years of data, including the
most recent meeting, is accurate, I will communicate who would be the
involuntary emeritus candidates for the next Members Meeting in 2027. This is
by no means meant as a punitive measure, but strictly so we can continue to
make quorum every year.
Rich Bowen's last meeting as Vice Chair is a milestone worth marking. While
Rich will be missed as both a Director and Vice Chair, I am very much looking
forward to seeing the fruits of his efforts in Community Development — his
enthusiasm for that work is, as many of us know, thoroughly contagious.
We will hold an Executive Session at the end of this meeting, as is customary
for the first board meeting of the term, to appoint the Board Chair and Vice
Chair.
On the topic of board meetups: I have not put a face-to-face meeting on the
agenda for this term. I am open to opportunistic gatherings — for instance at
Community Over Code — but I intend to keep those informal rather than
structured working meetings. I will plan a separate teleconference for us to
get to know each other better as a new board.
B. President [Ruth Suehle]
Two new subpoenas were received this month and forwarded to VP, Legal.
Met with Sen. Becker (CA)'s staff to discuss Apache license and potential
impacts of proposed AI policies on open source software.
First draft budget is under the budget agenda item. Thanks to all of the
budget area owners for all their work here!

[1] This eliminates the 100k President's Discretionary that dates back a few
years. It does not include a Board F2F, so if the board wishes to hold one,
please estimate a budget. It also proposes a 25k general travel fund to cover
not only President travel (last year roughly $2,200), but also for officers
and directors for ASF events and related to promote the foundation.
[2] Last year, the usual ComDev budget for swag was moved to M&P and
Conferences to launch the new logo. I have not yet received a request for
budget from ComDev for this year.
[3] Last year's Infra spend to date was $172,457 (as of several weeks ago). I
do not have a projection from them yet for FY27.
[4] Includes tooling and eliminates projected fundraising position.
[5] This significant increase over last year requests funding for an audit,
for which we are due.
[6] I do not yet have a request for FY27 from VP, Legal. However, some legal
counsel fees are accounted under "General and Administrative."
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 11.
C. Treasurer [Craig McClanahan]
Normal operations continue, with the following specific notes:
* Reviewed our Form 990 (the version of an income statement for non-profits)
for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, and authorized sending it to the IRS.
* Provided detailed information to Fundraising in support of their budget
preparation. (We can do the same for other people that need it).
* Completed Treasury's budget proposal for the next fiscal year. It includes
funding for an audit, which we are overdue on having completed. (We aim for
every three years, but it has been longer than that.)
* Over time, we (Treasury) have received ad hoc requests for detailed
information, especially during budget times as we are now. We've been
working on some software that will provide information from both Bill and
Ramp, specific to your area of responsibility, on a monthly basis. Look for
an email from treasurer@apache.org requesting a time to meet briefly and
discuss this with each of you in the near future.
D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]
In January, the secretary received 52 ICLAs and 2 CCLAs.
In February, the secretary received 38 ICLAs, one CCLA, and one software
grant.
The secretary worked with the chair of the board to host the annual members
meeting.
E. Executive Vice President [Jeff Jirsa]
The Executive Vice President has nothing material to report for March, but
again encourages the new board to appoint a new Executive Vice President who
will have sufficient free time to properly assist where needed.
F. Vice Chair [Rich Bowen]
Sent notification to all members converted to emeritus via
Article 4, Section 4 of the bylaws. (Copied to secretary@ for
permanent record.)

Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [Danny Angus]
General
=======
No issues currently require the Board's attention.
Budget
======
FY27 Budget planning is underway.
STeVe v3 in the Recent Members Meeting
======================================
We are pleased to report that the Infra successfully utilized STeVe v3 to
conduct the election process of the latest Member's meeting. The platform
offered an improved experience over its predecessor, STeVe v2. The new
workflow of loading votes and processing results was a significant
improvement. Critical support from the STeVe PMC, notably Greg Stein, was
instrumental in ensuring a smooth rollout. Based on this positive experience,
Infra intends to continue using STeVe v3 for future elections.
ASF Members Meeting Platform (ASFMM) in the recent Members Meeting
==================================================================
The meeting platform used for the annual members meeting worked as expected,
and ensured a mostly problem-free meeting. Some issues that surfaced this year
have been reported and issues and pull requests are being set up to track
them.
MFA Efforts
===========
Testing and rollout was paused to assess issues which arose during a routine
upgrade of the MFA platform. A resolution is pending, but a production
instance of the authentication system is being deployed and soft-launch will
be continuing as of or before 13 April.
Other News
==========
Per Infra's February Board report, the ReviewBoard service is slated for
retirement 31 March. Infra has received no pushback or concerns from Projects
related to this.
Atlassian Cloud migration testing continues. Infra will be presenting a
summary of the project and what committers can expect at the 1 April Infra
Roundtable.
Community News
==============
Roundtable:
Infra's next Roundtable will be April 1. See
https://infra.apache.org/roundtable for how to join the Roundtable channel and
take part in the monthly meetings.
Community over Code:
Infra will be sharing a series of presentations and events at Community Over
Code Glasgow, and are open to community (including board@) suggestions for
content.

Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Tooling [Dave Fisher]
# Tooling
This month's report will consist of a quick progress report.
## Apache Trusted Releases (ATR)
Our current development focus includes the following tasks.
1. Our ASVS security review generated about 150 GH issues. We now have less
than 20 remaining before we re-run L1 and run L2 requirements. The exercise
has been a very helpful code review.
2. We added the quarantine phase to validate upload artifact archives as safe
for expansion and free from zip bombs, path traversal, duplicate paths,
etcetera. This work proceeds with tightening up preparations for a vote.
3. We refactored the codebase for type safety.
4. Preparing for a quick Alpha 3 in late March or early April.
5. Beta is planned for sometime in Q2.
## Board Agenda Tool (BAT)
The reporter.apache.org website is fully integrated. Also, Whimsy is now only
doing minutes views. We are ready to discuss what improvements the new board
of directors would like implemented. We have a test instance for working on
reporter changes and are open to volunteer help.

Attachment 6: Report from the VP of Conferences [Brian Proffitt]
CFP for Community Over Code Glasgow 2026 continues until March 20[1], along
with the CFP for the co-located Lakehouse Day[2].
The prospectus for all of these events was released[3] in late February. I am
pleased to report we already have sponsorship agreements in process from new
and returning sponsors this year.
Community Over Code Asia was announced, to take place August 7 to 9，2026 in
Beijing, China.
I am also in consultation with the web team that revamped www.apache.org to
update and expand communityovercode.org into something as robust and flexible
as apachecon.com.

Attachment 9: Report from the VP of Data Privacy [Christian Grobmeier]
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 10: Report from the VP of Public Affairs [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
Nothing that needs board attention this month.
EU published its guidance - which, by and large, is good & solid; and
clarifies a lot of the edge cases exactly as it should be/we had expected
based on the gist of the regulation -- and with a good understanding of open
source and its interactions with industry. We're working with our peers to
provide comments. But even if none of that bears fruit - things are good
enough; and we, as open source, navigated past this hazard unscathed.
Likewise - the Expert meeting saw no surprises. There is still a mild concern
about the progress/availability of the reporting platform (that we need to
interact with from September) - and some more concerns on the completeness and
quality of the normative standards. But nothing new or significantly worse.
With the guidance done - attention is more and more shifting to attestation;
and here to - a coalition of open source foundation and our industrial
community is coming together well at the open regulatory working group (hosted
well at Eclipse).
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 11: Report from the VP of ECMA Relations [Piotr Karwasz]
Within the various ECMA TC54 task groups:
* TG-1 (Transparency Exchange API – TEA)
TG-1 will not submit a first version of the Transparency Exchange API to
ECMA in June. Instead, version 1.0 will first be released as a “community
version”, with standardization expected in September. Since TEA has grown
significantly in size since its inception, there is an ongoing discussion
within ASF Tooling regarding which parts of the specification should be
supported by Apache Trusted Releases (ATR):
https://github.com/apache/tooling-trusted-releases/issues/614
* TG-2 (Package URL – PURL and VERS)
TG-2 is currently focused on the proposed
“SCID” PURL type: https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec/issues/516
This proposal introduces a Package URL type for non-packaged software. It
could be relevant to the ASF for identifying not only C/C++ projects and
other languages without traditional packaging systems but also binary
executable distributions produced by many projects. During discussions it
was also noted that publishing PURLs for ASF artifacts might warrant
consultation with ASF Legal, since ASF binaries are “convenience binaries”
rather than official foundation releases. Using identifiers containing
“apache.org” or “The Apache Software Foundation” may therefore have legal
implications.
* TG-4 (OSS Sustainability)
TG-4 continues work on a model to express project sustainability needs in a
machine-readable form. Recent discussions have focused on representing both
traditional OSS contribution needs (e.g., “triagers needed”) and potential
funding opportunities (e.g., “additional triaging bandwidth available if
funded”). It may be worth evaluating whether committers could express these
needs within ASF repositories, or whether doing so would conflict with ASF
bylaws.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 12: Report from the VP of W3C Relations [Andy Seaborne]
-----------------------------------------
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. Many thanks to Henri Yandell for making us go to the
lowest number of outstanding LEGAL issues ever (which is 9).
We have formally onboarded Jude Smith as an ASF "committer" on the LEGAL
committee and he is now known as jasmith@apache.org
DLAPiper has gotten back to us with the good news on the outstanding subpoena
indicating that they checked the court docket, and the company that issued the
subpoena to ASF has filed a joint request with the plaintiff to dismiss the
case with prejudice.
The bad news is that our outstanding pipeline of subpoenas is now at 3 and
that's WAY more than what our volunteer workforce can handle. We are working
with DLAPiper to help but they have been really slow when it comes to a formal
engagement. This may turn into a significant risk for the foundation.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 14: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark J. Cox]
February
* We're seeing a sharp increase in incoming security reports, with AI as
likely driver. While it's too early to determine the validity rate of these
reports, we are factoring the increased volume into our budget planning for
the next financial year.
* We continue to help projects define a security model, this month Apache
Arrow, DevLake, and POI.
* We're closely following Infra's progress in rolling out MFA and intend to
provide feedback and assistance.
* We're rolling out an ASF-wide overview of disclosed security vulnerabilities
in our software, e.g. https://security.apache.org/projects/arrow/
* We reported in November 2025 that a ransomware group had claimed it would
release a cache of documents related to Apache OpenOffice. It now appears
the claim was based on incorrectly scraped company name information and did
not affect Apache OpenOffice or the Apache Software Foundation.
* We're help projects audit their GitHub Actions usage.
Stats for February 2026:

In total, as of 2nd Mar 2026, we're tracking 440 (last months: 359, 297) open
issues across 102 projects, median age 64 days (last months: 79, 105). 90 of
those issues have CVE names assigned. 22 (last months: 25, 20) of these
issues, across 11 projects, are older than 365 days.
No Health red issues to report.
* carbondata (Health amber): PMC is not responsive (Last update: 2026-03-03)
* 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. The November release fixed the most serious and complex ones,
making space to now focus on the remaining issues. (Last update: 2026-02-05)
* spark (Health amber): the project has a backlog of security reports to be
triaged (Last update: 2026-03-03)
* superset (Health amber): while the project is actively publishing fixes to
security issues each release, there is concern about a growing backlog.
(Last update: 2026-03-03)
* thrift (Health amber): the PMC does not appear to have the bandwidth to
triage incoming reports in a timely fashion (Last update: 2026-02-05)

PostgreSQL
## Project Status:
Current project status: Slow but steady activity, including active releases
this quarter.
Issues for the board: No help needed at this time
## Membership Data:
Apache AGE was founded 2022-05-17 (4 years ago) There are currently 19
committers and 13 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 5:4.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Jeff Jirsa on 2025-05-11.
- No new committers. Last addition was Jeff Jirsa on 2025-05-12.

Attachment B: Report from the Apache Airflow Project [Bolke de Bruin]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Airflow is the creation and maintenance of software
related to workflow automation and scheduling that can be used to author and
manage data pipelines
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, very high activity
Issues for the board: No issues for the board
The PMC congratulates the new board selected in March elections and looks
forward to cooperation in the coming year.
We continue maturing Airflow 3 major release - with the goal of releasing
Airflow 3.2 which is the first version from the Airflow 3 series that will
have not only new features but also pretty much full parity with Airflow 2 -
making it much more viable for pretty much all users to migrate to Airflow 3.
We are undergoing a stabilization phase and recently 3.1.* releases focus on
fixing some of the - still annoying in some cases - issues for our users -
such as making sure that enterprise logging features work, that some edge
cases in distributed deployments, stability of the UI, handling initial flood
of (low severity) security issues resulting from imperfectness our new API
structure and us learning the secure patterns.
We also released security-focused 2.11.1 (and upcoming 2.11.2) releases,
solving some of the long-standing issues with 3rd-party dependencies with
known security vulnerabilities, Airflow 2.11.2 will likely be the last release
in Airflow 2 series as Airflow 2 reaches End-Of-Live in April and will no
longer receive any updates - including security updates. We will encourage all
users to migrate to Airflow 3.
We actively participated in ATR testing, being one of the first (and biggest)
users of ATR, we helped to crank out a number of issues, and we are looking
forward to switching to ATR releases when it goes out of beta and improve and
further automate our release process.
Airflow 3.2 will be the first release where long awaited “task isolation” will
materialize as a security feature and make enterprise deployments easier and
more modular - with experimental multi-team features added. This is not yet
complete security isolation but we are - step-by-step - departing from the
original “all Dag Authors can do everything” approach that allows enterprise
users to have more hardened, easier to secure deployments of Airflow.
We are also heavily investing in AI / LLM case integration. According to
Airflow Survey 2025, Airflow is already heavily used to handle AI and LLM
related data pipelines, but we are continuing adding new capabilities such as
Human-In-The-Loop capability and recently AIP-99 Common Data Access Pattern
with AI [1], where Airflow gets AI/LLM native capabilities that will allow to
add LLM / AI features directly to 1000s of integrations (Hooks) airflow
already has and allow them to be natively used with LLM assistance - driven
by Dag Authors using those integrations.
We are also - in connection with that - revising the way how we manage the
lifecycle of the integrations (providers) - more of that in the Community
section.
The Yearly Survey for 2025 was a resounding success. We had more than 6000
users responding to the survey and providing us valuable insights on how
Airflow is being used, what our users need, and how things are changing in the
AI world for us. We believe that this is one of the biggest ASF project
surveys conducted regularly. PMC wants to thank Astronomer for running the
survey, processing its results and also making rounds all over the world
meetups (From US to Australia) presenting the results of the survey at Airflow
Meetups with the “State of Apache Airflow(R)” series of events and releasing
“State of Apache Airflow(R) 2026” report - with involvement, participation and
overlook of the PMC. We also improved our Survey, Monthly Meetings processes
and documented it meticulously, in order to avoid misinterpretation of
Astronomer involvement in the whole process - following concerns raised by VP
branding last year.

There were a few “rc2” accelerated votes resulting from releasing rc2+
candidates after bugs were found in previous candidates, following a regular
process agreed by the PMC.
The project is highly active - and even more active than usual due to Gen-AI
slop (see community health)
## Community Health:
Besides the danger of burnout resulting from AI slop (described below)- the
community is very healthy - we keep on having great collaboration and
cooperation between individual community members and stakeholders in Airflow,
who continue investing in Airflow heavily. We invited quite a number of new
contributors and PMC members - with a healthy ratio of people from the biggest
and most involved stakeholder - Astronomer, and people from the general
community.
We also introduced a huge change (and we are going to build on that) in the
way we treat providers (Airflow integrations) and how we engage various
stakeholders. We discussed, proposed and implemented a new governance
framework for Airflow integration where we figured out a way to engage our
stakeholders in the governance process, while keeping the process following
the letter and spirit of the Apache Way. That took a long time - first
discussions happened more than a year ago and some initial ideas were
consulted with a number of ASF members at Community Over Code in Minneapolis.
That resulted in the AIP-95 Provider lifecycle update [2]. We are adding first
providers following this framework and we already have interesting discussions
which result in stakeholder explicit engagement.
We are gearing up for Airflow Summit 2026 (Austin, TX) - CFP is about to close
in a week - and we are also working on “Airflow Contributor Days” Track at
Community Over Code. While Airflow Summit is more focused on users, the
“Airflow Contributor Days” is targeted towards contributors and contributing
users - mostly from Europe. We hear and understand that the geopolitical
situation heavily impacts the decisions of people to take part in the events
in the US. We also wanted to give the people who would not want or be able to
attend Airflow Summit, to meet other community members in Glasgow. This is
all done with a close cooperation between Airflow Summit, Airflow Contributor
Days and Community Over Code - bridging some of the past issues with Sponsors
and Attendee overlap, attempting to manage it in a fully transparent way that
is beneficial to everyone involved. That seems to work very well.
Two of Airflow PMC members(Jens Scheffler and Amogh Desai) have just been
voted in to be ASF members and they accepted - bringing the total number of
ASF members to 8.
We also have a lot of new community activity in Korea - where we have a strong
community organized by a new committer Yeonguk Choo - the community there
organises local workshops and meetups. Similarly new community meetups in
Stuttgart organized by Jens Scheffler - PMC member, all that on top of 20+
other regular meetups we have all around the globe.
Like almost all OSS projects - we are suffering from AI slop in our issues and
pull requests. But in the case of Airflow it is magnified by the fact that
Airflow is a very popular project with over 3.600 contributors and that
somehow people seem to consider being “airflow contributor” even if all that
you did was getting assigned to an issue is some kind of “badge of pride or
career”. We’ve seen - anecdotally - people boasting they were contributors to
Airflow right after being assigned an issue and not doing any contributions.
The numbers of PRs and Issues created in the Airflow project rapidly increased
last quarter, similarly the number of security issues raised to Airflow with a
lot of those PRs and issues being low-quality, AI-generated and not reviewed
contributions, which distract maintainers and makes them head towards the
burnout zone. We are literally drowning in the sea of contributions and barely
getting some air left.
We have started a few initiatives to change the way we work to adapt to the
new reality, while keeping the openness, transparency, inclusivity and
collaboration spirit of OSS and Apache Way:
* We are employing Agentic AI to help us to deal with it. We applied a number
of remediations already. Better AGENTS and SKILL instructions so that people
using agents can generate better PRs following our expectations.
* We are looking towards automating the agentic code review process for those
who use agents, by providing copilot instructions for reviews. We gave up on
assigning external collaborators to “good first issues” tasks (still
encouraging them to contribute) - because we have a lot of tasks assigned
and never completed.
* We are experimenting with tooling that will allow us to automatically triage
incoming PRs (including AI / LLM assessment ) - but we do it in the way
where Human-In-The-Loop and maintainer <-> contributor relationships are
kept, rather than fully replacing maintainers with automation.
More ideas are being discussed and we gradually introduce them and experiment
with them, also we carefully follow similar industry discussions (many of them
happening right now) - listening and participating in GitHub attempts to
improve the situation and we apply the learning and changes from GitHub to our
workflows.
We will report next quarter about the results, also we are going to talk about
it at Community Over Code in Glasgow and share our experiences.

- Axis 2/Java 2.0.0 was released on March 10, 2025.
- Axis 2/Rampart 1.8.0 was released on Dec 10, 2024.
- Axis 2/C 1.6 was released on April 20, 2009.
- Axis 1.4 was last released in 2006.
## Community Health:
Axis2/C and Axis2/Java both had very productive development in the last 90
days, and release votes for each project are about to start.
The last Axis2/C release was in 2009 and the project had been long under
maintained in general but that changed this last year with HTTP/2 and native
JSON support added the previous quarter, and a whopping 201 Jira issues closed
this past quarter that wiped out the backlog.
Modern AI tools via Claude commits and then a Google Gemini code review helped
quite a bit, with the dev model being lots of markdown files explaining what
it is doing.
This Axis2/C momentum is partly due to Android support being added that turns
phone apps into JSON based web services via an embedded Apache httpd server
for remote Curl based transport control i.e. stop and start, with examples for
a camera app shown in
https://github.com/apache/axis-axis2-c-core/blob/master/docs/HTTP2_ANDROID.md
.
Axis2/C gained Google OSS Fuzz support to prevent polymporphic malware this
past quarter and a Github pull request has been made at
https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/pull/14879 . Axis2/Java added more tests
this past quarter to compliment the OSS-Fuzz contribution from 2023. See
https://github.com/apache/axis-axis2-c-core/blob/master/docs/OSS-FUZZ.md ,
Axis2/Java continues to add contempory JSON based features to attract new
projects and committers, and this past quarter OpenAPI aka Swagger support was
added and perhaps unique as Axis2/Java may be the first project that includes
http/2 protcol usage for OpenAPI.
Axis2/Java does have some areas of concern about the legacy deps for SOAP in
the disintegrating Apache Web Services project that is in a long running roll
call still in progress,
Apache Web Services has about 5 deps Axis2 needs - some with very old specs
that never really took off. WS-AXIOM historically has been an essential dep
for SOAP however future releases are unclear, see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIOM-525. Some refactoring to depend on
these libs less may be essential, as the software world continues to move
rapidly from SOAP and XML into JSON.
The Axis2/Java sub project Rampart that adds optional WS-Security* had no
commits this past quarter though there was some Java 25 interest in the
project as shown this past quarter in the Jira issue at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAMPART-454. We expect a Rampart release
this next quarter, after the Axis2/Java release.

Attachment F: Report from the Apache Beam Project [Kenneth Knowles]
-----------------------------------------
Attachment G: Report from the Apache Bigtop Project [Masatake Iwasaki]
## Description:
Bigtop is a project for the development of packaging and tests of the Apache
Hadoop ecosystem. The primary goal of Bigtop is to build a community around the
packaging and interoperability testing of Hadoop-related projects. This
includes testing at various levels (packaging, platform, runtime, upgrade,
etc...) developed by a community with a focus on the system as a whole, rather
than individual projects. In short we strive to be for Hadoop what Debian is to
Linux.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Bigtop was founded 2012-09-19 (13 years ago)
There are currently 46 committers and 30 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 Zhiguo Wu on 2024-08-19.
* No new committers. Last addition was Liqiang Fu on 2025-05-13.
## Project Activity:
Recent releases: bigtop-manager-1.1.0 was released on 2025-12-04.
3.5.0 was released on 2025-09-07.
3.4.0 was released on 2025-05-30.
We are preparing for the next 3.6.0 release starting from upgrading
Hadoop to 3.4[1].
We need some more effort for aligning the versions of product in the stack
since some downstream products dropped Java 8 support
while Hadoop 3.4 requires Java 8 for release build.
[1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-4520
## Community Health:
We had low activity in the past quarter:
* dev@bigtop.apache.org had a 45% decrease in traffic in the past
quarter (44 emails compared to 80)
* issues@bigtop.apache.org had a 50% decrease in traffic in the past
quarter (22 emails compared to 44)
* 9 JIRA tickets opened and 3 closed in the past quarter.
While it would be nice to add more active contributors and committers, we can
still catch up with the products in the stack since the ecosystem of Apache
Hadoop on which the Apache Bigtop is based on is matured and follows a longer
release cadence.

Attachment H: Report from the Apache BookKeeper Project [Enrico Olivelli]
## Description:
The mission of BookKeeper is the creation and maintenance of software related
to Replicated log service which can be used to build replicated state machines
## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache BookKeeper was founded 2014-11-19 (11 years ago)
There are currently 32 committers and 20 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 8:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Shiji Lu on 2025-05-14.
- No new committers. Last addition was Zhangjian He on 2025-01-27.
## Project Activity:
There is not much activity on code (bug fixes, new features) at the moment,
almost only housekeeping: upgrading dependencies, modernizing CI, the website.
Recent releases:
4.16.7 was released on 2025-07-07.
4.17.2 was released on 2025-07-07.
4.16.6 was released on 2024-06-26.
## Community Health:
Almost all the conversations happen on GitHub issues and there is something on
our Apache BookKeeper slack. IT would be better to use the mailing lists, but
the only conversations happening on slack are about people pinging to ask for
review for PRs, so not really technical discussions or asks for help from
users.
We have sporadic contributions from people who are not committers, but not
enough to invite such contributors as committers.

- We released Camel 4.14.3
- We released Camel 4.14.4
- We released Camel 4.14.5
- We released Camel 4.17.0
- We released Camel 4.18.0
- Note: Camel releases have synchronized releases of Camel-Karaf and
Camel-Spring-Boot too for 3.x, while for 4.x only Camel-Spring-Boot is
synchronized.
- 4.18.x is our last LTS release train together with 4.14.x. 4.10.9 was the
last patch release for 4.10.x LTS.
- The situation is really healthy and the community is increasing presence and
engagement. We are introducing many new features and components. We are also
aggressively deprecating old components and modernize the code for the next
LTS. We are removing support for JDK 17 and focus only on JDK 21 and 25.
Apache Camel K:
- We released Camel K 2.9.0
- We released Camel K 2.9.1
- We focused heavily on operator stability and reducing the memory footprint
of the operator pod.
- Camel K is in good shape and the community is expading with more
contributors and feedback. The situation is healthy.
Apache Camel Kamelets:
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.10.8
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.14.3
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.14.4
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.14.5
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.17.0
- We released Camel Kamelets 4.18.0
- The Kamelet catalog keep growing
- Documentation has been improved even more.
- The 4.14.x release train is matching the LTS release from Camel core and we
are supporting also 4.18.x LTS now.
Apache Camel Quarkus:
- The Camel-Quarkus work is going ahead following the main camel releases with
multiple releases
- We released Camel-quarkus 3.20.4
- We released Camel-quarkus 3.27.2
- We released Camel-quarkus 3.27.3
- We released Camel-quarkus 3.31.0
- We released Camel-quarkus 3.32.0
- We are increasing the number of Camel Quarkus Extension to match the core
components. We are supporting 4.14.x LTS and 4.18.x LTS.
- The community is active and we are seeing increased interest.
Apache Camel-Karavan:
- Camel-Karavan is still growing.
- We released version 4.14.2, supporting the latest LTS release.
- Work is on-going to support 4.18.x LTS.
Camel-Kafka-Connector:
- Work for supporting 4.18.x LTS has been done and we are going to release soon.
- The community is active and we receive a lot of feedback and requests. We
are improving the documentation and we're trying to keep the same cadence as
core.
- The project is slowing down a bit for the lack of developers working on it,
but we are aligning.
Apache Camel-Karaf:
- Camel-karaf 4.10.7 has been released.
- It's a patch version supporting LTS 4.10.x
- The plan is to support 4.14.x LTS in the next period.
- A patch release for 4.8.x has been released too. 4.8.9.
Apache Camel-Upgrade-Recipes:
- Camel-Upgrade-Recipes 4.17.0 has been released
- Camel-Upgrade-Recipes 4.18.0 has been released
- This version supports upgrades up to 4.18.0
- The plan is to keep supporting 4.14.x LTS and 4.18.x LTS
## Community Health:
dev and issues mailing lists increased in usage in this quarter, this is
mainly because we wanted to discuss about some deprecation and removals and
drop of JDK 17.We are mainly consolidating our work on Camel, by introducing
new components and new features but also by working on backlog. Now that we
released 4.18.x, we are introducing new features and we are refactoring the
codebase a bit, so we expect more discussions on dev and issues. There was a
decrease on the users mailing list, mainly because we are using Zulip for
discussing and sometimes contributors use Zulip as first interaction point
instead of the ML. In terms of Github engagement we are doing really well and
we see new contributors and reporters. I think the community is really
growing.

Attachment P: Report from the Apache Cordova Project [Bryan Ellis]
## Status report for the Apache Cordova project - March 2026
## Description
A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.
## Project Status
**Current project status:**
Our current work focuses on staying up to date by making improvements to our
release process, plugins, and core platforms.
Our status dashboard at https://apache.github.io/cordova-status/ remains
mostly all green.
**Issues for the board:**
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Membership Data
There are currently 100 committers and 97 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 Manuel Beck on 2025-04-04.
- No new committers. Last addition was Manuel Beck on 2025-04-04.
## Project Activity
The following releases to our project this quarter focused on the
Cordova-Android platform, CLI, and internal libraries.
**Releases:**
- cordova-android@15.0.0 was released on 2026-03-06.
- cordova-eslint@6.0.1 was released on 2026-02-18.
- cordova-cli@13.0.0 was released on 2025-11-25.
**Other:**
Some committers continue to bring Cordova's perspective and use cases of
WebViews to the W3C community groups. The Open Source Initiative enabled open
source maintainers to contribute feedback on ETSI standards that are
currently in development for the Cyber Resilience Act. We're happy to provide
the editors with information on how embedded browsers are used. The CRA will
likely introduce new standards and new security requirements and we would like
to make sure use-case like Cordova are covered. Example:
https://labs.etsi.org/rep/stan4cra/en-304-617/-/issues/5
## Community Health
Overall, the community health is strong. The ASF Project Statistics gives the
project a Community Health Score (Chi): 6.33 (Healthy)
This quarter, we primarily focused on improving our plugins and release
process.
Additionally, we finalized and successfully released the next major version of
Cordova-Android 15 and Cordova-CLI 13.
As part of our release process improvements, we have been rewriting our
release guidelines and have started implementing release workflows throughout
our project to make use of the upcoming Apache Trusted Releases (ATR) tool. As
we rework our release process and guidelines, this allows us to review and
improve areas where we may be lacking and make the necessary corrections to
realign them. Additionally, we would like to note that the last two packages
were successfully released using the new ATR tool.
We have been making various improvements to our project's website, including
archiving documentation for older versions so that only the current live
documentation is hosted, adding a download page, making use of deploying to
staging for reviewing, and resolving several outstanding minor visual bugs.
We also continue to see valuable contributions from a group of dedicated
individuals who actively test, report issues, and submit PRs to address their
findings for future releases. A large portion of this quarter's activity has
been focused on our plugins, particularly In-App-Browser and Camera.
Overall, the project remains stable and continues to see strong activity.
GitHub discussions is how our community supports each other and is live at
https://github.com/apache/cordova/discussions. All discussions are forwarded
to the 'issues' list.

Attachment R: Report from the Apache Curator Project [Enrico Olivelli]
## Description:
The mission of Curator is the creation and maintenance of software related to
Java libraries that make using Apache ZooKeeper easier
## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Curator was founded 2013-09-18 (12 years ago)
There are currently 16 committers and 16 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Kezhu Wang on 2023-03-25.
- No new committers. Last addition was Kezhu Wang on 2023-03-24.
## Project Activity:
There was not much activity in the past quarters
Recent releases:
5.9.0 was released on 2025-07-23.
5.8.0 was released on 2025-03-06.
5.7.1 was released on 2024-10-13.
## Community Health:
Actually community was not active in the past quarter, we have committed no
patches and there were no conversations on the mailing list.
For NOW I don't see this as a problem, as usual Curator is widely used, but it
is generally stable. It is also strictly linked to the activity (new releases)
of Apache ZooKeeper.
Doing this report to the board is actually useful, because it is a good reason
for the PMC to have conversations about how to revive the community.

Attachment S: Report from the Apache Daffodil Project [Mike Beckerle]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Daffodil is the creation and maintenance of software

Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Daffodil was founded 2021-02-16 (5 years ago)
There are currently 21 committers and 20 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1.
Community changes, past quarter:

## Project Activity:
- Daffodil Extension for Visual Studio Code 1.5.0 was released on 2026-01-14
- Daffodil 4.1.0 was released on 2026-02-05
- Daffodil SBT plugin 1.6.0 was released on 2026-02-05
## Community Health:
Developer email and commit activity are still good. Some decrease in activity
due to retirement (from his employer, not from the project) of Mike Beckerle,
who remains our PMC Chair but is less active doing actual development work
now.
The cybersecurity community, which is the major user community for Daffodil,
is notoriously silent about usage, so despite known new users in Canada, there
is very little activity on the users mailing list.
In early march we added access for a new contributor.

Attachment W: Report from the Apache Druid Project [Abhishek Agarwal]
Report date: 2026-03-08
## Description
Apache Druid is a high performance real-time analytics database. It is
designed for workflows where low-latency query and ingest are the main
requirements. It implements ingestion, storage, and querying subsystems.
Users interface with Druid through built-in SQL and JSON APIs, as well as
third-party applications.
Druid has an extensive web of connections with other Apache projects: Calcite
for SQL planning, Curator and ZooKeeper for coordination, Kafka, Hadoop and
Iceberg as
data sources, Avro, ORC, or Parquet as supported data input formats, and
DataSketches for scalable approximate algorithms. Druid can also be used as a
data source by Superset.
## Project Status
Ongoing - with High activity
### Issues
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
### Recent releases
- 36.0.0, a major release, on 2026-02-09.
- 35.0.1, a patch release, on 2025-12-15.
## Security issues
No security issues pending resolution.
## Project Activity
We had two major releases since the last report
- 35.0.0 - 220 changes from 29 contributors
- 36.0.0 - 189 changes from 44 contributors
Druid typically does major releases 3–4 times a year. any users had
complained of long periods without a release in past. But project is following
sustained release activity now, with timely quarterly releases.
## Community Health
Our Slack workspace at https://apachedruidworkspace.slack.com/ stands at 3,365
members, up 51 members since our last report. The growth in slack community is
lower this time. We will need to keep monitoring it to see if its one-off or
the slack channel growth is reaching saturation.
Slack is our most active channel for user support and usage-oriented
discussions. As before, development discussions
happen more on GitHub, and sometimes on the dev mailing list.
### Development activity by the numbers
Since the last report on 2025-11-03
- 274 commits from 35 contributors
- 359 pull requests opened
- 332 pull requests merged/closed
There is slight decrease in number of pull requests since last report. The
number of contributors have not changed though our top contributors
continue to consistently contribute.
## Membership Data
Apache Druid was founded 2019-12-17 (8 years ago)
There are currently 75 committers and 41 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:5.
In the last report, we idenfied the need of adding more committers
and PMC members. To that effect, We have added 2 committers and 1
PMC member since last report. There are two open discussion threads
for adding new committers/PMC members.

Issues for the board: NA
## Membership Data:
Apache ECharts was founded 2020-12-16 (5 years ago)
There are currently 31 committers and 15 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 ShiZhao Pan on 2025-01-09.
- No new committers. Last addition was Zisen Jin on 2025-11-01.
## Project Activity:
At present, the functionality of the project is relatively complete.
Most of the code modifications mainly focus on bug fixes.
We are currently engaged in the release work of the next version, 6.1.0.
Previously, due to the inclusion of some relatively complex new features
in the plan, the release time is a bit later than expected. We hope that
the release frequency in the future can be maintained at least one version
every six months.
## Community Health:
The community for our project is at a medium level of activity.
There is an average number of pull requests and issue reports, with a fair
amount of them being addressed in a timely manner.
Overall, while the community is steadily contributing, there is still room
for growth to increase the level of engagement and the speed at which
projects are advanced.

Attachment AA: Report from the Apache Flink Project [Robert Metzger]
## Description:
The mission of Flink is the creation and maintenance of software related to
platform for scalable batch and stream data processing
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Flink was founded 2014-12-17 (11 years ago)
There are currently 125 committers and 58 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Ferenc Csaky was added to the PMC on 2026-02-10

- David Radley was added as committer on 2026-01-26
- Yuepeng Pan was added as committer on 2025-12-18
## Project Activity:
The project released Apache Flink 2.2.0 in early December 2025, the first
release in the
2.2 series. Planning for Flink 2.3 began in January with David Anderson, Hao
Li, and Yuepeng Pan volunteering as release managers. Feature freeze is set
for March 31, 2026, with a final release targeted for end of April 2026.
The Flink Kubernetes Operator 1.14.0 was released in February, adding support
asd for Blue/Green deployments. The community is actively designing Phase 2 of
Blue/Green deployments (FLIP-504) with record-level coordination for
exactly-once semantics.
Flink Agents, a new sub-project for AI agent workflows on Flink, shipped two
releases:
0.1.1 (December) and 0.2.0 (February), showing rapid iteration on this
emerging area.
On the connector side, flink-connector-aws shipped both a v5.1.0 (for Flink
1.x) and v6.0.0 (for Flink 2.x). The v6.0.0 release required five release
candidates due to issues with NOTICE files, Java compilation targets, and
license headers. flink-connector-parent v2.0.0 was released, dropping JDK 8
support in alignment with Flink 2.x. flink-shaded 21.0 was also released. A
new flink-connector-http v1.0.0 and flink-connector-kafka v5.0.0 (with Kafka
client 4.x) are in preparation.
The community accepted 11 FLIPs this quarter, with notable highlights
including: FLIP-555 (native S3 filesystem eliminating the Hadoop dependency),
FLIP-561 (major documentation restructuring using the Diataxis framework,
which received strong community support with 13 votes), FLIP-564 and FLIP-566
(advancing the Process Table Function ecosystem), and FLIP-558 (improving
changelog handling with ON CONFLICT semantics). Another 8 FLIPs are under
active discussion, including Language Server Protocol support for Flink SQL
and a test harness for Process Table Functions.
The community discussed the future of the Stateful Functions (StateFun)
sub-project, which has seen no commits since its 3.3.0 release in September
2023. Consensus leans toward sunsetting the project. A proposal to revive a
monthly Flink community digest blog was well received.
## Community Health:
The user@flink mailing list saw a 63% decline in the last 3 quarters.
It seems that many emails don't get answered on the user@ list anymore.
People are moving to other places like the Flink Slack Group,
Stack Overflow, or just asking LLMs or coding agents directly.
The dev@ list is at a 3% decline, which I consider within normal
fluctuations of the numbers.
One area of concern is connector ecosystem maintenance: the
flink-connector-aws repository struggles to attract reviewers and release
voters outside of the primary vendor contributor. The PMC discussed strategies
for cultivating new committers for connector repos. Similarly, the Stateful
Functions sub-project has become dormant and is a candidate for retirement.
CI infrastructure experienced disruptions in February due to Docker version
incompatibilities on Azure and GitHub runner images, but fixes were merged.
CVE-related dependency updates were consolidated under a single tracking
ticket (FLINK-39060) for better coordination.

Attachment AG: Report from the Apache Gump Project [Stefan Bodewig]
## Description
Apache Gump is a cross-project continuous integration server. Gump's
intention isn't so much to be a CI server but rather a vehicle that
makes people look beyond their project's boundaries and helps the
projects to collaborate.
Gump is written in Python and supports several build tools and version
control systems. The Apache installation of Gump builds ASF as well as
non-ASF projects and their dependencies. It started in the Java part
of the foundation but also builds projects like APR, HTTPd and
OpenSSL.
## 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.

Attachment AM: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Justin Mclean]
# Incubator PMC report for March 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 February, there are 28 podlings under incubation. Five releases were
made during the month, and no IP clearances were completed. Two podlings
graduated, Gluten and Polaris, and no podlings retired. However, there are
votes underway to retire BareMaps and HoraeDB. There were no additions or
removals to IPMC membership.
Mailing list traffic during the month focused on release voting, graduation
discussions, and discussion and votes on retirement.
Auron was invited to take part in a 6-month review. Iggy also requested to
participate in a review.
Most podlings continue to make steady progress toward graduation. Caldera
is off to a slow start. Livy has voted to graduate on its mailing list, and
Toree's latest release seems to be taking longer than expected. ResilientDB
is likely to graduate soon.
Pegasus is still experiencing some community difficulties and may need
follow-up.
There is some concern about the progress of OpenServerless, as they state
they are nearing graduation, but have not made a release.
Two podlings, Caldera and OzHera, failed to submit a report and will be
asked to report next month. All submitted podling reports had mentors'
sign-off.

## BifroMQ
BifroMQ is a Java-based, high-performance, distributed MQTT broker with
native multi-tenancy support, designed for large-scale connections and
message delivery.
BifroMQ has been incubating since 2025-04-22.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Increase public exposure to expand the community user base and improve
project visibility.
2. Continue delivering regular releases, streamline the release
management process, and rotate the Release Manager role among key
contributors.
3. Grow community participation beyond the original contributors,
including attracting new reviewers and contributors.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
We understand that the trademark transfer has been completed based on
publicly available trademark ownership information (e.g. via
https://aiqicha.baidu.com/mark/s?q=BIFROMQ&t=7).
However, we would appreciate receiving an official confirmation from ASF (a
scanned copy of the signed transfer agreement would be sufficient) so that
our company can properly archive the transfer documentation for internal
compliance purposes.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
We have observed increasing activity on GitHub and the dev@ mailing list.
Our mentor (Chris) helped initiate a valuable discussion with the Apache
IoTDB community, which may lead to potential collaboration between the two
projects.
We have set up a WeChat Account (“BifroMQ”) to publish Chinese translations
of release announcements. All published content is derived from or links
back to the official Apache BifroMQ website, and the account is not used
for community discussions.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We completed our first incubating release after 3 RC votes.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings
name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to
correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name?
We attempted to rename our WeChat account by adding the “Apache” prefix,
based on PPMC consensus reached on the private mailing list. However, the
request was rejected by the WeChat platform due to tightened naming
policies, which now require an official authorization document from ASF to
use “Apache” as an account prefix.
We would appreciate guidance on whether there is a formal ASF process to
request such an authorization letter for external platform compliance
purposes.

## OpenServerless
OpenServerless is an open source, cloud-agnostic, serverless platform. It
offers a complete environment for serverless applications development, based
on Kubernetes. With Apache OpenWhisk as its FaaS engine, it
provides an unified developer experience with a plethora of
services (SQL or noSQL databases, key-value stores, object
storage, LLMs services, function schedulers) managed by the platform's core:
the operator, along with tooling (the CLI) to simplify (and
interact with) deployments, integrated ide and starter
application and optimized runtimes integrated with the staters.
OpenServerless has been incubating since 2024-06-17.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. reactivate the build system that was phased out because of expired
cloud credits - Nuvolaris provided the resources and we requestes also
2. create a self-contained distribution that builds from sources -
already in place a kit to do that creating images in a local docker and the
loading into a cluster
3. embed tasks in the cli binary as we cannot distribute something that
self-updates from the cloud
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
we are asking for resources to AWS to test in cloud
### How has the community developed since the last report?
New contributors and more adopters, including cloud providers like the
Italian Government Cloud, the Polo Strategico Nazionale and 2 cloud italian
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We are completing the major features like the devcontainer and the embedded
registry for custom actions auto-created

lists. It would be great to have an update and plan.
- [X] (openserverless) PJ Fanning
Comments: No obvious progress on a 1st release and podling is nearly 2
years old. Mailing list traffic is minimal. Really just GitHub automated
msgs. I would disagree with the report's assertion that the podling is
nearing graduation.
### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
--------------------
## Otava
Apache Otava (incubating), a command-line tool, written in Python, detects
and alerts about statistically significant changes in performance test
results (more generally, time-series data) stored in CSV files or a number
of supported databases.
A typical use-case of Otava is as follows:
1. A set of performance tests is scheduled repeatedly, such as after each
commit is pushed.
2. The resulting metrics of the test runs are stored in a time series
database (Graphite) or appended to CSV files.
3. Otava is launched by a Jenkins/Cron job (or an operator) to analyze the
recorded metrics regularly.
4. Otava notifies about significant changes in recorded metrics by
outputting text reports or sending Slack notifications.
5. Otava is capable of finding even small, but persistent shifts in metric
values, despite noise in data. It adapts automatically to the level of
noise in data and tries to notify only about persistent, statistically
significant changes, be it in the system under test or in the environment.
Otava has been incubating since 2024-11-27. Otava entered Incubation as
Hunter.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Establish frequent releases as a routine, repeatable process
2. Improve documentation to lower the entry barrier for users and
contributors.
3. Define and document the desired long-term architecture. The goals of
the long-term architecture are:
a. Modularity: Keep the core library lightweight while making external
dependencies (data sources and notification channels) pluggable.
b. API stabilization: Clearly define and stabilize public interfaces
prior to a 1.0.0 release.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
The community added one new committer and a PMC member, who contributeda a
rewrite of the core changepoint detection algorithm and authored an
introductory doc on changepoint detection theory in Otava.
Since the last report, there have been 4 additional contributors
participated through patches and discussions. One contributor is a
developer from RedPanda, who reports using Otava extensively for both
continuous benchmarking and finding regressions in PRs. Another
contributor developed a visualization tool that allows users to model and
explore changepoint detection results across different time series. This
tool improves understanding of the algorithm’s behavior and provides a
practical aid for internal development and experimentation.
Additionally, open-source projects that position performance as a key
feature (e.g.,
[hardwood](https://github.com/hardwood-hq/hardwood/issues/25)) have
expressed interest in using Otava for continuous benchmarking.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project addressed 3 out of 4 main previously stated priorities:
1. Upgraded to supported Python versions. Re-implement the core changepoint
detection algorithm and drop the dependency on signal-processing-algorithms.
2. Added a new PPMC member.
3. Publicity around the project. Since the last report, Henrik Ingo did a
talk about Continuous Performance Engineering at FOSDEM 2026.
The remaining issue is making frequent releases a routine. As a first step,
the project added a step-by-step release guide to facilitate repeatable
releases.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Making a release
2. Adding contributors
3. Finish infrastructure migration (currently working on the website)
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
After delays last year and the promise to keep project momentum up, this
has been the case.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
- We have added a new committer and PPMC member.
- Work continues on a first release
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We have migrated our website tech to a more modern platform that can
make use of the ASF website hosting infrastructure. Final steps are
taken at the moment of writing.
We also have received multiple external contributions from people
previously not affiliated with the project at a volume and quality
that exceeds the usual pace.
Finally, we have formalised our stance on LLM-generated code.

Attachment AN: Report from the Apache IoTDB Project [Xiangdong Huang]
## Description:
The mission of Apache IoTDB is the creation and maintenance of software
related to an IoT native database with high performance for data management
and analysis.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with high activity. Issues for the board: no.
## Membership Data:
Apache IoTDB was founded 2020-09-16 (5 years ago) There are currently 82
committers and 32 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 Hongyin Zhang on 2025-11-07.
- Zhenyu Shi was added as committer on 2026-01-13
- Weihao Li was added as committer on 2026-01-13
- Zhengming Zhang was added as committer on 2026-01-16
## Project Activity:
- We released version 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 in past quarter, which fixed some bugs
and security issues in 1.3.X series.
- For 2.X series, We have significantly expanded the data query capabilities
for our table model. Key updates include the introduction of select-into
clause, and the addition of the MATCH RECOGNIZE feature, which now supports
aggregate functions to efficiently capture, analyze, and calculate
continuous data streams. Furthermore, we enriched the system's analytical
toolkit by adding built-in scalar functions for bit manipulation and a
pushdown-enabled EXTRACT time function, all specifically designed to
optimize table model queries.
- The community has taken a significant step forward in online schema
evolution. We now support data type modifications in both the tree and table
models. This presents a formidable challenge for our LSM-Tree storage
engine, which is built upon the immutable TsFile format.
## Community Health:
Overall community health is good.
- dev@iotdb.apache.org had a 235% increase in traffic in the past quarter (238
emails compared to 71)
- There has been a lot of discussion within the community recently regarding
AI-assisted programming[1][2]. Our goal is to transform the IoTDB project
into an AI-Native database. In early January, Apache IoTDB was officially
included in the Google Code Wiki.
- Developer Experience Enhancements: To better support our user base and
streamline the onboarding process, we integrated a new "Ask AI" function
into the official Apache IoTDB homepage. This feature provides developers
with instant, intelligent assistance for navigating documentation and
resolving technical queries more efficiently
- GSoC: We are actively participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2026 to
foster new contributors. Community members, including Yuan Tian, Haonan,
Xuan, and Yongzao, have submitted four project ideas. These proposals have
already successfully attracted prospective students and sparked active
technical discussions within the community.

Apache Jackrabbit: Board Report March 2026 (draft)
==========================================
## Description:
The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming
implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ Technology API
(JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content
repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being
maintained.
Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant
hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache
Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the
foundation of modern world-class websites and other demanding
content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not
implement all optional features from the JSR specifications, and it
is not a reference implementation.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with moderate activity
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache Jackrabbit was founded 2006-03-15 (20 years ago).
There are currently 60 committers and 60 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1, because all committers automatically
become PMC members.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Alejandro Moratinos on 2025-08-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Alejandro Moratinos on 2025-08-27.
## Project Activity:
Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All
maintenance branches and the main development branch are
continuously seeing moderate to high activity.
Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of
the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly
driven by dependencies from Jackrabbit Oak.
The oak-blob-azure module was upgraded from Azure SDK V8 to V12, a
major dependency and API change. The project also raised the minimum
Java version to 17 across build and CI (OAK-11952), and delivered
simplified index management (OAK-12010 / OAK-12110), introducing a new
index management path with diff index support and refinements across
multiple releases.
Segment store reliability saw important improvements. The
oak-segment-azure component received memory optimisations (UUID
and GCGeneration handling, structure changes), and test stability
fixes to address OutOfMemory issues by ensuring proper cleanup of
FileStores and closeable resources (OAK-12085). The GCGeneration
class was moved into an exported SPI package (OAK-12084), clarifying
the public API for segment and GC generation.
The ongoing effort to reduce dependence on Google Guava continued.
Guava’s Monitor, Guard, SettableFuture, Striped locks,
Uninterruptibles (await, sleep, join, drain), ThreadFactoryBuilder,
and related utilities were replaced with JDK or oak-commons
equivalents. Guava dependencies were removed from several modules as
part of the long-term goal to drop the Guava dependency.
## Community Health:
The project is generally healthy with a continuous stream of traffic
mostly on JIRA issues and GitHub pull requests reflecting activity of
the respective component.
Commit activity is moderate, mirroring the activity on the
JIRA issues and the desire of the individual contributors to bring
features and improvements in for the next Jackrabbit Oak release.
## Releases:
- jackrabbit-2.23.3-beta released on 2025-12-11
- jackrabbit-oak-1.90.0 was released on 2026-01-07
- jackrabbit-2.22.3 was released on 2026-01-16
- jackrabbit-filevault-4.2.0 was released on 2026-02-27
- jackrabbit-oak-1.92.0 was released on 2026-03-03

Distribution" is now fully available. This serves as a primary migration
path for users of the dormant Apache ServiceMix project, providing a modern,
supported alternative.
* We are already preparing Karaf 4.4.11 release, including new fixes and
better Java 21 support.
* Karaf 4.5.0 roadmap: development is progressing for the 4.5.x series. Key
focus area include:
** Java 25 support.
** Update feature resolver.
** Refined Karaf services.
** Removal of legacy specs bundles to streamline the runtime.
Apache Karaf Decanter 3.0.0 is in preparation with a lot of updates, fixes and
refactoring. This is plan for the next quarter.
## Community Health:
* We are happy to welcome a new committer: Holger Friedrich.
* We see dev@karaf.apache.org had a 161% increase in traffic in the past
quarter (94 emails compared to 36) and user@karaf.apache.org had a 23%
increase in traffic in the past quarter (58 emails compared to 47): user@
mailing list remains active with troubleshooting and migration queries,
while dev@ mailing list is centered around the 4.5.0 roadmap and security
patching.
* Security (CVE-2026-24656): a vulnerability was identified in Apache Karaf
Decanter involving deserialization of untrusted data in the log socket
collector. The community acted switfly, releasing Decanter 2.12.0 to address
this flaw. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade or implement firewall
rules to restrict access to the collector port (4560).
* Infrastructure: the project has successfully transitioned to GitHub Issues
and GitHub Action, with the legacy Jira instance now in read-only mode.

Attachment AQ: Report from the Apache Kvrocks Project [Mingyang Liu]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Kvrocks is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a distributed key-value NoSQL database, supporting the rich data
structure.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Kvrocks was founded 2023-06-21 (3 years ago)
There are currently 30 committers and 13 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 Aleks Lozoviuk on 2025-05-06.
- Xiaojun Yuan was added as committer on 2026-02-24
## Project Activity:
Apache Kvrocks 2.15.0 was released at the end of February. Xiaojun Yuan was
invited to become a new Kvrocks committer in recognition of his contributions
to cluster-related features, in February.
Recently, Kvrocks development has been focused mainly on clustering, including
optimizations to master-replica replication. There has been less progress in
other areas. In terms of Redis compatibility, the main improvements have been
support for more Redis commands and compatibility with Redis’s multi-database
mechanism.
## Community Health:
In terms of data, the number of issues was similar to the previous quarter,
but the number of PRs dropped by 30%. It seems there was a certain decline in
contributor activity during this period. Kvrocks may need some fresh momentum
and new demand to attract broader participation. This is also related to the
fact that several key maintainers, myself included, have had less time to
devote to the project due to work and other commitments.

Attachment BA: Report from the Apache OpenDAL Project [Hao Ding]
## Description:
OpenDAL is an Open Data Access Layer that enables seamless interaction with
diverse storage services. Its development is guided by the vision "One Layer,
All Storage" and the following principles:
- Open Community
- Solid Foundation
- Fast Access
- Object Storage First
- Extensible Architecture
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache OpenDAL was founded on 2024-01-17 (a little over two years ago). There
are currently 36 committers and 22 PMC members in the project. The
committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1.6.
Community changes, past quarter:
- The project added one new committer during this quarter.
- The PMC roster remained unchanged during this quarter.
## Project Activity:
- No new core stable release was cut in this quarter; the latest stable
release remains v0.55.0, released on 2025-11-24.
- Development remained active, with 191 PRs merged from 47 authors between
2025-12-01 and 2026-03-10.
- The project continued modularization work by splitting more services and
layers into separate crates and repositories so components can evolve at
different paces.
- Major implementation work this quarter included reqsign v2 migrations across
multiple services, continued .NET binding work, and new capabilities across
Swift, S3, and local key-value backends.
- Weekly "This Week in OpenDAL" discussions continued on GitHub Discussions
alongside ongoing community Q&A.
## Community Health:
### Are there any risks to the sustainability of the project?
OpenDAL remains healthy. While this quarter did not include a new core stable
release, the project maintained strong development velocity and broad
contributor participation. The project now has 36 committers and 22 PMC
members, and recent work shows continued progress on modularization,
integrations, and cross-language bindings.
OpenDAL continues to be used by multiple database systems and infrastructure
tools. The PMC's earlier decision to split more components into separate
repositories is translating into concrete engineering work, which should
improve long-term maintainability without reducing community cohesion.
### Is the PMC capable of responding to security issues and
performing releases if needed?
Yes. The PMC has an established release process, has demonstrated the ability
to handle routine dependency maintenance, and continues to make coordinated
technical changes across services, layers, and bindings. If needed, the PMC
can organize releases and respond to security issues in a timely manner.
### Does the PMC need anything from the Foundation to improve on
contributing to our mission of delivering software for the public good?
No requests at this time.

Attachment BI: Report from the Apache Polaris Project [Jean-Baptiste Onofré]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Polaris is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a catalog for data lakes. It provides new levels of choice,
flexibility and control over data, with full enterprise security and Apache
Iceberg interoperability across a multitude of engines and infrastructure
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing (recently graduated)
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Polaris was founded 2026-02-18 (20 days ago)
There are currently 30 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 5:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members (project graduated recently).
- Adam Christian was added as committer on 2026-03-07
- Adnan Hemani was added as committer on 2026-03-07
- Danica Fine was added as committer on 2026-02-27
## Project Activity:
* Releases:
- Work began on Apache Polaris 1.4.0, the first release under the new TLP
status. This release prep is a bit longer, as it needs updates on
LICENSE/NOTICE, including new artifacts (like Python CLI).
- Catalog Migrator 1.0.0 (RC2): A critical tool for migrating tables from
Glue/Hive to Polaris entered its final voting stage in early March.
- We will also consider releases for new tools soon (Polaris Console, Polaris
MCP server, ...)
* Technical Roadmap & Feature Development: Following the successful 1.3.0
release in mid-January, the development team shifted focus toward enterprise
hardening and interoperability.
- Scan Metrics Persistence: A major architectural effort is underway to
integrate query scan metrics into the catalog, enabling better observability
for downstream engines like Spark and Trino.
- Credential Vending Enhancements: Significant PR activity has focused on
refining AWS IAM AssumeRole flows and expanding support for storage-scoped
credentials, reducing security overhead for multi-tenant data lakes.
- Generic Table Stability: The "Generic Table" feature officially graduated
from beta. This allows Polaris to manage metadata for Delta Lake and Apache
Hudi tables alongside Iceberg, positioning it as a universal catalog.
* Governance & Graduation Infrastructure The transition to a TLP required
significant "Project Hygiene" to ensure compliance with the Apache Way:
- Release Process Modernization: The community moved to a unified CI/CD
pipeline, merging six disparate workflows into one. This has stabilized the
build process and automated the generation of convenience binaries and
Docker images.
- Legal & Licensing: Conducted a comprehensive audit of all dependencies.
Resolved a key legal blocker regarding third-party library nesting to ensure
the upcoming 1.4.0 release (the first as a TLP) is fully compliant.
* Ecosystem Integration
- Engine Support: Verified compatibility and performance benchmarks for the
latest versions of Apache Doris and StarRocks, which now use Polaris as
their default external Iceberg catalog.
- Community Engagement: Recorded high attendance at the February 19th
community sync, where the transition to TLP was celebrated and the 2026
roadmap—including AI/ML metadata extensions—was first socialized.
## Community Health:
* Governance Independence The project has achieved a high level of
organizational maturity and is no longer reliant on its founding
contributors.
- Diverse PMC: The Project Management Committee (PMC) now includes 13 members
representing seven different organizations, including Dremio, Snowflake,
Databricks, Microsoft, Confluent, LanceDB, Red Panda.
- Organic Leadership: Of the current PMC, 46% (6 members) were elected during
the incubation period based on their merit and contributions, rather than
being part of the initial donation. Similarly, 5 out of 8 current committers
were promoted from within the community during incubation.
* Engagement & Outreach Metrics (Feb – March 2026) The "graduation window" saw
a spike in community engagement, particularly from new enterprise adopters.
- Contributor Growth: The project surpassed the 100-contributor milestone in
February. Since the end of January, 13 new individual contributors have had
their first pull requests merged.
- Mailing List Activity: The dev@ mailing list saw a 25% increase in traffic
during February, focused on TLP transition logistics, the 1.4.0 roadmap, and
the resolution of legal hygiene tasks.
- Meetups:
* Warsaw (Feb 18): A community-led meetup focused on Iceberg V4 and Polaris
performance.
* Redmond (Feb 26): Hosted by Microsoft, focusing on Polaris integration
within the Azure/Fabric ecosystem.
* Participation Quality Unlike many projects that see "drive-by"
contributions, Polaris has seen a rise in "deep" technical participation:
- Feature Design: Significant community-led design discussions occurred in
February regarding Scan Metrics Persistence and ExternalCatalogFactory
refactoring.
- Integration Support: Third-party projects like Apache Doris, StarRocks, and
Fivetran have integrated Polaris as their default Iceberg REST catalog,
contributing back stability fixes and performance optimizations.
* Documentation & Onboarding To ensure continued health, the community has
prioritized "contributor experience":
- Unified CI/CD: A major effort in February consolidated several disparate CI
pipelines, reducing PR feedback loops and making it easier for new
developers to verify their work.
- Blog & Roadmap: The project launched several technical blogs in early 2026,
including guides on policy-driven table maintenance and AI-native storage
integration with LanceDB.

Attachment CB: Report from the Apache Unomi Project [Serge Huber]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Unomi is the creation and maintenance of software related
to providing a reference implementation of the OASIS Customer Data Platform
specification currently being worked on by the OASIS Context Server Technical
Committee
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, moderate activity
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache Unomi was founded 2019-02-20 (7 years ago)
There are currently 17 committers and 8 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 Jonathan Sinovassin-Naïk on 2024-11-25.
- No new committers. Last addition was Jerome Blanchard on 2025-09-13.
## Project Activity:
Work this quarter focused on a mix of user-facing improvements and core
reliability hardening. The project website was significantly modernized in
unomi-site, with improved structure, accessibility/SEO, and ASF compliance
follow-up. On the core unomi codebase, recent changes targeted operational
quality: startup/logging fixes, healthcheck behavior, REST API error handling,
and test/build reliability improvements. JIRA activity also reflects a
practical stabilization cycle: several reports around invalid payload
handling, rule/segment validation, and startup/runtime behavior were raised
and actively worked on. In parallel, the team continues the staged integration
of the 3.x workstream by splitting a large body of changes into smaller,
reviewable PRs, with tooling support to keep the process manageable.
## Community Health:
The community remains engaged and responsive. Most visible mailing-list
traffic is development workflow traffic (commits/PR/JIRA notifications), while
substantive discussion threads this quarter centered on the website
modernization proposal and regular project sync/reporting topics. User/support
interaction continues to happen more through JIRA and Slack than through the
users mailing list, with new reports and feedback still arriving and being
handled. Overall, collaboration and throughput remain healthy, with no
governance or community risk requiring board attention.

organizations, and we do have PMC members watching things. There is some good
development going on at the primary contributing organization that we hope to
be able to contribute in a few months. I'd really like to get some of that
contributed. It's just hard to make the time to do so.

Last month we started working on the next main release (Wicket 11) using our
master branch and applying the first main dependencies update for the
project (i.e. JUnit 6 and Spring 7). The minimum Java version required for
Wicket 11 will be Java 21.
We also received through the Apache Security Team a security vulnerability
report about a session fixation vulnerability of the framework. The fix for
this problem is quite simple and we will include it in the next versions of
Wicket 10 and 9.
Recent releases are:
10.8.0 released on 2025-12-21.
9.22.0 released on 2025-12-15.
10.7.0 released on 2025-09-30.
## Community Health:
Community is stable and healthy and we still receive PR to improve the
framework. Recently Dutch company Squins got in contact with us because they
are organizing a Wicket User Day on the first of April in Dordrecht, although
the event could be postponed to a later date. If so, some of your PMC members
could take part to the event.

Attachment CE: Report from the Apache Xerces Project [Michael Glavassevich]
### Description:
Apache Xerces is a collaborative software development project dedicated to
providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and freely available XML
parsers and closely related technologies on a wide variety of platforms
supporting several languages.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing (low activity). All sub-projects are in bug
fix mode and maintenance mode. Only Xerces-J has had recent activity.
Issues for the board: None.
## Membership Data:
Apache Xerces was founded 2005-02-22 (21 years 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 Elliotte Rusty Harold on 2025-06-19.
- No new committers. Last addition was Elliotte Rusty Harold on 2025-06-20.
## Project Activity:
The focus for Xerces-J and Xerces-C continues to be maintenance. No new
features are in development. 7 PRs were merged for Xerces-J since
December 2025, mostly representing minor enhancements and fixes to Javadoc
and other documentation. One of these contributors is not a committer yet.
There has been some discussion on the mailing lists about having a new
Xerces-J release at the request of the Xalan community. This was the
catalyst for getting some of the recent PRs reviewed and merged. There
was no visible activity on Xerces-C or any of the other Xerces subprojects
since the previous report.
No new releases since the previous report. The latest release is Xerces-J
2.12.2 (January 24th, 2022). The latest release is Xerces-C 3.3.0 (October
14th, 2024).
## Community Health:
Our project for more than the last decade has had a handful of dedicated
active committers. Some less active PMC members continue to monitor the
project and respond to queries on security issues as needed. The recent
discussion on having a new Xerces-J release shows that we need more volunteers
that take action and to recruit new committers such as the recently active
contributor to Xerces-J. It may be time for a check up on the health of
Xerces-C. The PMC members that contribute to Xerces-C have been silent for
awhile though there has been nothing for them to respond to.
