4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]
We have a light agenda this month; there are numerous internal discussions but
no proposals for the board to discuss this month.
B. President [Ruth Suehle]
D&O insurance in process of being renewed.
We received a small bill from the PA department of labor for unemployment
compensation tax from 2020/21 that hadn't been paid. This has now been paid.
I'll be keynoting Berlin Buzzwords in a few weeks--hope to see ASF folks
there.
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 11.
C. Treasurer [Craig McClanahan]
Normal operations continue, particularly including preparatory work for our
audit that is about to commence.
Final month-end financial reports were posted to board@ as usual. The size of
the Anthropic contribution caused a couple of unusual ripples worth noting:
* The $1.5m was invoiced in March, so it was recorded there as a one-time
contribution in that month.
* Payment was received in April, which caused our cash balance to increase.
This raises an accounting-related question related to the Responsible AI
Initiative: do we intend to track specific expenditures against that to
Responsible AI Initiative accounts? If so, we should get those established
soon.
D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]
In April, the Secretary recorded 53 ICLAs, one Membership Application, two
Software Grants, and two Corporate Contributor License Agreements.
E. Executive Vice President [Daniel Ruggeri]
Little to report. Geared up and actively watching the flow of comms. Setting
up discussion with Ruth and a 2nd degree connection regarding a legal
question.
F. Vice Chair [Justin Mclean]
Nothing to report.

Attachment 1: Report from the VP of Brand Management [Mark Thomas]
Covering the period April 2026
* ISSUES FOR THE BOARD
One of the documents regularly required to progress trademark matters is a
Certificate of Good Standing for Apache. However, when counsel last submitted
the Certificate request to the Delaware Secretary of State (DE SOS), DE SOS
records showed that Apache is not in good standing: the entity is in a status
of: AR Delinquent tax due - for the 2025 annual report not being filed in
time, which was due by March 1st.
This is currently blocking the transfer of the SEATA trademark.
I raised the issue with the president and the treasurer on 2026-05-05 and have
yet to receive a response.
* OPERATIONS
Daan Hoogland continues to provide some very welcome assistance with trademark
issues.
Responded to the following queries, liaising with projects as required:
- A request to use the FLINK logo on some conference swag
- Provided informal advice that STEWARD was not a good name for a new PMC
- A request to use the POI logo in a BSc thesis
- A request to use the CLOUDSTACK logo for a conference booth
- A request to use the FLINK mark for a conference
- A request to use the FLUSS mark for a conference
* REGISTRATIONS
The logo registration is progressing.
The SUPERSET application has been submitted.
The renewal of OFBIZ in the US has been submitted.
The renewal of CASSANDRA in the US has been submitted.
Transfer of the SEATA trademark is currently blocked. See above.
* INFRINGEMENTS
A potential conflict with FLEX was discussed with the FLEX PMC and the
decision taken to take no further action.
The potential infringement of KAFKA has been resolved.
The potential infringements of the the GRAVITINO mark have been resolved.
No progress for the SPARK PMC in addressing a range of product naming issues
with multiple 3rd parties.
No progress regarding a site with a possible infringement of APISIX.
No further progress regarding the downstream vendor with multiple
infringements of ASF marks.
The XMLGRAPHICS PMC is progressing a complaint with GitHub regarding a
potential third-party infringement of FOP.
No progress from the GLUTEN PMC to address a range of product naming issues
with multiple 3rd parties.
There remains one issue with IOTDB to be solved.

Attachment 2: Report from the VP of Fundraising [Bob Paulin]
1) ASF Sponsors:
a —New: two companies that have made qualifying corporate contributors to the
ASF are considering recognition as ASF Sponsors.
b —Renewals: we are pursuing one Gold-level renewal, as well as two Bronze
renewals.
c —Payments: 1 —New: we received two corporate contributions: one would
receive recognition at the Platinum level, and the other Silver, should they
wish to be publicly recognized. 2 —Received: we received Sponsorship renewal
payments from two Gold Sponsors. 3 —Incoming: we await renewal payments from
two Platinum, two Gold, and one Bronze Sponsor.
2) Targeted Sponsors: we have updated and renewed a Platinum-level Targeted
Sponsorship, and are working on the Tooling Initiative’s FY2027 funding plans,
including onboarding a new Platinum-level backer.
a - Fundraising requests the board's attention related to Apache Logging PMC's
request [1] to use Targeted Sponsorship Fund for some items defined in the
Targeted Policy that "have merit to be discussed further" [2]. As has long
been the case the ASF has not engaged in anything that might be viewed as
"Paying for development" in our projects. Would like the board's guidance on
if these specific circumstances might be exempt. Additionally while the
amounts are a small portion of the Foundations earnings what follow up work
might be needed to avoid these payments from being considered a private
benefit or inurement [3] i. Paying for security triage (PMC Members) ii.
Paying Release Managers (PMC Members) iii. Paying for Documentation (PMC
Members)
3) Sponsor Relations: we facilitated the ASF’s largest corporate charitable
contribution, and used those funds to seed the ASF’s new Responsible AI
Initiative.
https://news.apache.org/foundation/entry/the-apache-software-foundation-launches-10m-responsible-ai-initiative-with-initial-1-75m-donation
4) Event Sponsorship: we continue to process sponsorships for 2026 for
Community Over Code Europe as well as Lakehouse Day, and promote opportunities
for both Community Over Code Europe and Asia events.
5) Individual Donations and Corporate Giving: we received a corporate
charitable contribution for $1.5MM, which is the largest single cash
contribution that the ASF has received to date. In addition, we received
$2,002 in online donations via https://donate.apache.org/ .
6) Administrivia: our work with the ASF Infrastructure, Treasury, and
Marketing & Publicity teams continues as our activities expand for the new
fiscal year.

Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [Danny Angus]
General
-------
No issues currently require the Board's attention.
Budget
------
VP Infra has provided the board with clarification on Infra's 2026/27 budget.
MFA Efforts
-----------
MFA soft-launch is ongoing with no service issues reported. The procedure
began 2 April.
Other News
----------
Atlassian Cloud migration testing continues. There have been some hurdles to
cross, license renewal issues on the Cloud side and changes to the migration
tooling and workflow, that have delayed progress this month. Therefore our
estimate to completion remains at 3 months from now, if all goes well.
Infra collaborated with the Security Team to strengthen baseline security for
all projects using Git (Gitbox and GitHub) by proposing a series of
security-feature Pull Requests to the .asf.yaml service file. Each affected
project was individually notified by email of our intentions, rationale, and
proposed plan. A sample email:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/f3x6756ypp8cw9r93xopbdl6029yhksv
Community News
--------------
Roundtable:
Infra's next Roundtable will be June 3, 1700 UTC. Piotr P. Karwasz will
present on release automation.
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, ranging from an IRL roundtable to the ever-popular Infra 101, to
Games Night, which was a huge success at the 2025 event.

Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Tooling [Dave Fisher]
## Tooling
### Apache Trusted Releases (ATR)
We are finishing all of the UI improvements and moving towards an Alpha3 by
the end of this month and then Beta by the end of June.
### Board Agenda Tool (BAT)
We will need to discuss next improvements with the board.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 6: Report from the VP of Conferences [Brian Proffitt]
All notices for acceptances have gone out for Community Over Code Glasgow
2026. An extra room has been acquired to host security workshops and ASF
project hackathons. The co-located Lakehouse Day organized by Danica Fine is
also proceeding well.
Community Over Code Asia is on schedule for August 7 to 9，2026 in Beijing,
China. TAC applications are now being accepted for this event.
Work is still ongoing with the web team to update and expand
communityovercode.org.
The planning team has tentatively secured a venue for the 2027 North America
Community Over Code. An announcement will be made during the Glasgow event.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 7: Report from the Apache Travel Assistance Committee [Gavin McDonald]
Current Events
===============
Community Over Code Glasgow
---------------------------
We had an initial mid-applications open period judging round, and accepted and
notified 12 people in this first of two judging rounds. The idea is to allow
those that applied early in order to apply for Visas or other reasons for
applying early were notified earlier than the June cut-off date. The remaining
24 of the initial 36 applicants will be pooled in with those that apply after
the initial judging date.
Applications for this event close on the 3rd June.
Community over Code Asia - Beijing
----------------------------------
Applications for Beijing close on the 31st May, we have a dozen or so
applications in so far.
Monthly Meetings
================
Trying to organize a meeting date to suit everyone.
Future Events
=============
None currently
Short/Medium Term Priorities
============================
Keeping an eye out for other smaller events to support. Berlin Buzzwords is
one we have supported before and if we have budget would like to have some
people attend that one.
Post surveys for Bratislava, Hangzhou, Denver, Beijing and Minneapolis still
to be done.
Mailing List Activity
=====================
Not much activity for April/May other than notice of the Glasgow midway judges
call
Membership
==========
No changes to the Committee this month.

-----------------------------------------
Attachment 10: Report from the VP of Public Affairs [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
Nothing to report - things moving along as expected. Standards still largely
lost in action - and some things, such as the implementing act, are more
delayed than is ideal.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 11: Report from the VP of ECMA Relations [Piotr Karwasz]
Work in all ECMA TC-54 committees is continuing.
After months of discussion, the question of whether the ASF should define its
own Package URL type (`asf`) or adopt the emerging `sid` type appears to be
approaching resolution. At the most recent TG-2 meeting, consensus formed
around identifiers of the form:
```
pkg:sid/apache.org/...
```
See https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec/issues/834 for context.
The `sid` type has two subtypes. The commercial software subtype has stalled
pending industry feedback, but the domain-based subtype is mature enough to be
ratified in the near term if the ASF needs it.
-----------------------------------------
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. After resolving many of LEGAL issues, we are at a
dramatic 3 open issues right now.
VP Legal announced his intent to resign and kicked-off a follow-on process on
the legal-private:

Attachment 14: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark J. Cox]
April
* The load of incoming security reports continues to grow significantly,
leaving limited time for other responsibilities. We plan improved tooling to
more effectively handle issues. We have also taken on another part-time
contractor from March 1st which will help considerably.
* Worked together with Infra to respond to the breach of a 3rd-party
component, Axios
(https://www.upwind.io/feed/from-nodes-to-snakes-npm-supply-chain)
* Worked together with Infra to respond to an incident that, after much effort
by many involved, turned out to be a false positive.
* Decided to stop participating in 3rd-party bug bounty program huntr.com

* fineract (Health amber): there is one remaining open issues that is over a
year old, and quite a few untriaged. The PMC is making progress with
documentation, architectural changes and expanding the team, but not yet out
of the weeds. (Last update: 2026-05-06)
* spark (Health amber): the project has a backlog of security reports to be
triaged (Last update: 2026-05-06)
* superset (Health amber): while the project is actively publishing fixes to
security issues each release, there is concern about a growing backlog.

Attachment F: Report from the Apache Avro Project [Ryan Skraba]
## Description:
Apache Avro is a data serialization system with a compact binary format. It is
used for storing and transporting schema-driven serialized data. The unique
features of Avro include automatic schema resolution: when the reader's
expected schema is different from the actual schema with which the data was
serialized the data is automatically adapted to meet reader's requirements.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Avro was founded 2010-04-21 (16 years ago) There are currently 39
committers and 25 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 5:4.

- No new PMC members. Last addition was Oscar Westra van Holthe - Kind on
2024-08-27.
- Mattia Basone was added as committer on 2026-03-20
## Project Activity:
We didn't have any release this quarter, but the preparation for the next
minor release is well underway, focusing on accumulated bug and security fixes.
There's been some good progress for features and improvements on the main branch
and we should definitely continue the momentum with a major release immediately
after. Our experience has always been that it's difficult to do a release after
a long period of inactivity.
We raised a issue last quarter about declining PMC and committer engagement, but
it seems that interest is up with the upcoming release.
## Community Health:
Mailing Lists:
- dev@avro.apache.org had 472 emails (+6% change)
- issues@avro.apache.org (mostly notifications) had 800 emails (-6% change)
- user@avro.apache.org continues to have very little traffic, 6 total
JIRA:
- 18 issues opened (-51% change)
- 7 issues closed (-73% change)
Code Repository:
- 199 commits in the past quarter (+99% change)
- 22 code contributors in the past quarter (+29% change)
GitHub:
- 226 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (+105% change)
- 220 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (+71% change)
A lot of the release work was bumping dependencies and cherry-picking existing
fixes into the next release branch, which explains why the number of bugs fixed
is quite low while GitHub activity is fairly high. There's been a significant
number of issues fixed after the reporting period.

4.17.2 was released on 2025-07-07.
4.16.6 was released on 2024-06-26.
We are also going to cut a new release from the 4.17 release line, and
problably also for other active release branches.
## Community Health:
There is not much activity in the mailing list, but actually in the past
months we have more messages that usual. There are some conversations on the
Bookkkeper slack workspace, but they are almost only pings about asking for
reviews or votes on releases.
Community is doing well, and we have some contributions from users that are
not committers, altough most of the contributions come from existing
committers.
We don't have candidates for commitership in the short term yet.
Overall we are doing well

change, seen a fair number of performance-focused and other minor
improvements made to BVal's codebase recently. Note from the chair: please
accept my apology for having missed the report date these past two months.
## Community Health:
The recent spike in commit activity has been on the part of a single
project member, but the response from other project members has been
demonstrative of our continued state of readiness.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment K: Report from the Apache Cassandra Project [Ekaterina Dimitrova]
Are you able to provide adequate oversight of your project? That is, are there
at least three PMC members who are engaged enough to respond in the event of a
CVE or similar crisis?
Yes, we maintain adequate project oversight and can address CVEs. Twenty-four
PMC members responded to the last roll call. Numerous PMC members actively
participate in both dev and private list discussions, ensuring that we have
more than the requisite three members available for rapid response to a CVE or
similar event.
Are there current or upcoming risks that threaten the sustainability of your
project? This could be anything from a change in employment of prolific
contributors, to an acquisition affecting a significant corporate contributor,
to a change in the technology landscape that makes your project less (or more)
relevant.
We currently do not see any specific risks threatening the project's
sustainability. We are focused on long-term health through deliberate
diversification and expansion of our contributor base.
We just added 1 new PMC member and 3 new committers to the project.
Additional indicators of Project Health and Growth this Quarter:
Releases: We shipped new versions of the: Cassandra server; Java, GoCQL and
Python drivers; Cassandra sidecar; Cassandra analytics; Our next major
Cassandra release got its first alpha.
Community: The project will have its own track at Community over Code EU 2026.
There was a strong submission participation. We managed to fill a three-day
schedule and still have certain submissions wait-listed. The project will also
support the GSOC program. We already have registered mentors and projects for
a few interested students.
What can the Foundation do to more effectively make your project more
successful in its mission of providing software for the public good?
Nothing at this point.

## Project Activity:
### Google Summer of Code 2026
GSoC 2026 is well underway. We were accepted as a mentoring organization and
have been actively managing proposal ranking, mentor approvals, and project
slot allocations. The mentors@ list saw 141 messages across 40 threads this
quarter, reflecting strong engagement from mentors and prospective
contributors. Priya Sharma continues to lead GSoC administration.
### GitHub Repository Activity
A new comdev repository (github.com/apache/comdev) was created this quarter,
housing tooling to help projects summarize their activity, as well as MCP
Model Context Protocol) servers for querying ASF data sources such as mailing
list archives and project metadata.
The Community.apache.org website began a monthly cadence of blog posts
highlighting community growth (new committers and PMC members across the
Foundation), releases, and project birthdays.
(https://community.apache.org/blog)
Events.apache.org added new infrastructure to coordinate volunteer activity
for Community Over Code. https://events.apache.org/events/2026
## Community Health:
The project is in good health. We are attracting new contributors who are
making meaningful contributions quickly, and our GSoC pipeline continues to
draw strong mentor and student engagement. The shift toward building developer
tooling (MCP servers, project activity summarization) represents a new
direction for ComDev beyond documentation and events, and has already
attracted outside contributions with security and CI improvements. The dev@
list remains active with substantive discussions rather than just
administrative traffic.

After the release of RAT 0.18 development on 1.0 continues in the background,
while other activities remain relatively low.
## Community Health:
No changes in community health have been observed.
Development is currently focused on RAT 1.0.
There is no explicit plan to increase interest in RAT.
Previously, I raised the question of whether RAT tooling
should become part of the release tooling process or
be incorporated into the ASF tooling project.
The work on version 1.0 enables a more flexible approach to
integrating RAT into other build and ecosystem tools.
As a result, the Gradle integration remains open and
is awaiting the 1.0 release before being published in a more granular form.

Attachment P: Report from the Apache DataFu Project [Eyal Allweil]
## Description:
The mission of Apache DataFu is the creation and maintenance of software
related to well-tested libraries that help developers solve common data
problems in Hadoop and similar distributed systems
## Project Status:
Current project status: Dormant 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 ongoing efforts were stalled in the past quarter. The blog post is
delayed because of scheduling problems with PayPal (with whom we wanted to
copublish, like we did previously). We will probably do a minor release just
to support another Spark version - there's a new contributor who has expressed
interest in this.
## Community Health:
As written above, a relatively dormant quarter. Some discussions about the
next release and blog, mostly on Jira and comments in GitHub, but nothing
substantial.

Attachment R: Report from the Apache DeltaSpike Project [Mark Struberg]
## Description:
Apache DeltaSpike is a suite of portable CDI (Contexts & Dependency
Injection) extensions intended to make application development easier when
working with CDI and Java EE. Some of its key features include:
- A core runtime that supports component configuration, type safe messaging
and internationalization, and exception handling.
- A suite of utilities to make programmatic bean lookup easier.
- A plugin for Java SE to bootstrap various CDI containers.
- JSF integration
- JPA integration and transaction support.
- A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA.
- Testing support to allow low level unit testing of CDI enabled projects.
## Issues
There are no immediate issues requiring board attention at this time.
Still low activity, but slowly boosting activity again.
## Activity
We did some updates and cleanup in our code. We've now also added a new
test-control5 module for supporting junit5 and 6. The plan is to release
this soonish. Our main focus is on backward compatibility and fixing bugs.
We do intentionally NOT rewriting stuff without a urgent need.

to a MPP-based interactive SQL data warehousing for reporting and analysis
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Doris was founded 2022-06-14 (4 years ago)
There are currently 99 committers and 26 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Calvin Kirs was added to the PMC on 2026-04-23
- Han Bao was added as committer on 2026-03-16
- Yuwei Chang was added as committer on 2026-04-28

- Yan Xuecheng was added as committer on 2026-04-10
- Zhang Dong was added as committer on 2026-02-26
## Project Activity:
Apache Doris has had a busy three months on the release front. The community
shipped the 4.0.4 maintenance release in early March, followed shortly by
4.0.5, both rolling up a large number of bug fixes and stability improvements
on the 4.0.x line — particularly around cloud mode, the streaming insert / CDC
subsystem, and the new TIMESTAMPTZ data type. In parallel, 4.1.0-rc01 was cut,
kicking off the formal release candidate cycle for the next minor version.
Beyond maintenance, the project is making meaningful headway on several
strategic directions:
- AI-native data: introduction of a Rust-based Lance format reader for
AI-native datasets, support for multimodal (file) embeddings, BM25 scoring
in the inverted index query engine, and a new on-disk IVF ANN index type for
vector search.
- Streaming & CDC: the new StreamingInsertJob framework continued to mature,
picking up MySQL/PostgreSQL CDC sources, a cdc_stream TVF, per-job metrics,
auto-resume controls, SSL support, and the ability to target specific
compute groups. The dynamic table feature also landed in two parts — first
the meta/DDL layer, then the streaming query and consumption infrastructure.
- Lakehouse & external catalogs: Iceberg gained REST + S3Tables IAM-role auth,
v3 row lineage, and a working MERGE INTO implementation; Paimon picked up
JDBC catalog support; and the FE catalog layer was refactored behind a new
fe-connector SPI plugin framework, with JDBC and ES catalogs migrated onto
it.
- Authentication & multi-tenancy: end-to-end OIDC integration with a MySQL
login bridge and role mapping, a multi-root auth plugin loader, a
ClusterGuard SPI for cluster-level policy enforcement, and IAM-role auth for
Routine Load and S3 filesystem access.
- Performance & engine work: a global Timestamp Oracle (TSO) for monotonic
timestamps, bucketed aggregation operators, multi-level partition spilling,
outer join reorder in DPhyper, ASOF join, adaptive memtable flush, adaptive
scan batch sizes, and broad memory accounting cleanup.
- Operability: new ADMIN COMPACT TABLE TYPE='FULL' (also enabled in cloud
mode), a CompactionTaskTracker system table + HTTP API, file-cache admission
control, condition cache for external tables, and richer profiling for
scans, joins, and sync-rowset paths.
On the community side, the project also continues to invest in contributor
experience — adding fast incremental FE compilation tooling, a docker-based
regression-test skill, AI-assisted code review hooks in CI, and tightening
committer-only triggering for protected pipelines.
## Community Health:
Overall community health remains strong. Over the last quarter Apache Doris
saw contributions from roughly 80 distinct committers and contributors across
FE, BE, cloud, docs, and CI infrastructure, with about 11 first-time
contributors landing their first commits during the period — a healthy and
steady inflow of new faces. The committer pool itself also continues to grow:
a new collaborator was onboarded this quarter, reflecting ongoing investment
in mentoring active contributors toward committership.
The dev@doris.apache.org and users@doris.apache.org mailing lists remain the
primary venues for design discussions, vote threads, and release
announcements, with a consistent flow of release votes
(4.0.4, 4.0.5, 4.1.0-rc01) and DISCUSS threads on the streaming, AI/vector,
and cloud workstreams. GitHub activity — issues, PR review, and discussions —
continues to be the most active surface day-to-day, which is typical for the
project given its global, multi-region contributor base.
On the regional balance front, contributor activity is still concentrated in
the Asia–Pacific region, with growing but still under-represented
participation from contributors in Europe and North America. The community has
been actively addressing this through English-language design docs, translated
user documentation, and meetups and conference talks at international venues;
we'd welcome guidance from the broader Apache community on how to further grow
the non-APAC contributor base.
We are slightly under-staffed in two specific areas where help would be
especially welcome:
- Documentation and translation — particularly keeping the English docs in
sync with new features such as streaming jobs, Iceberg MERGE INTO, ANN/AI
features, and the new authentication framework.
- UI / Console design — front-end and design contributors remain rare relative
to engine contributors, and we would appreciate suggestions from the board
or others reading this report on how to reach a wider group of UI/UX
designers willing to contribute to an OSS analytical database.
No PMC- or board-level concerns to escalate this quarter; community
discussions have been civil, decisions have followed The Apache Way, and
release cadence and review throughput are both healthy.

Attachment X: Report from the Apache FreeMarker Project [Dániel Dékány]
## Description:
Apache FreeMarker is a template engine, i.e. a generic tool to generate text
output based on templates. Apache FreeMarker is implemented in Java as a class
library for programmers.
FreeMarker 2 (the current stable line) produces releases since 2002. The
FreeMarker project has joined the ASF in 2015, and graduated from the
Incubator in early 2018.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Activity was very low in recent months.
## Health report:
Activity was very low in recent months, though such periods are not unusual
for this project. User questions and new Jira issues are still being answered.
Most PR-s slowly but eventually getting reviewed and merged. Infrastructure
maintenance is done (such as recent migration of try.freemarker.apache.org
virual machine). The next goal is to make the next minor release, regardless
of how few changes have accumulated given how long it has been since the last
release. Bigger task still unfinished in 2.x line is the java.time support
(FREEMARKER-35). The even longer term goal is continuing the ongoing
development on the 3.0 branch, so that the project can innovate, and the code
base can become more modern and attractive for new committers.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 9 PMC members.
- Last added on 2025-01-01
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 12 committers.

Attachment AE: Report from the Apache HTTP Server Project [Joe Orton]
## Description:
The mission of HTTP Server is the creation and maintenance of software related
to Apache Web Server (httpd)
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, moderate activity
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache HTTP Server was founded 1995-02-27 (31 years ago)
There are currently 126 committers and 55 PMC members in this project.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Vincent Deffontaines was added to the PMC on 2026-04-10
- No new committers. Last addition was Emmanuel Dreyfus on 2022-11-05.
## Project Activity:
Like other high profile open source projects, we have seen an
extraordinary surge in the number of security vulnerabilities being
reported since February when the project last reported to the Board -
unsurprisingly driven by LLM analysis.
As in my previous report, it remains true that the majority of the incoming
reports are true positives (i.e. valid vulnerabilities), though it's likely
we're rejecting a somewhat higher percentage of the reports than previously.
With several individuals reporting issue counts into double-digits, plus
gaining access to some bulk analysis via the Alpha-Omega project, the backlog
of (potential) vulnerabilities to process is growing faster than we can
handle.
Our security workflow and our people are struggling to cope. Only a small
number of committers are active doing e-mail response, triage and patch
review. Without a ticketing system, reports are likely to be missed, and our
(labour intensive) workflow for handling fixes requires significant effort to
address any single report.
We're experimenting with using AI/LLM-based agent tools to handle
incoming reports, and there is some streamlining we can do to the
workflow. If there is good news in this report, it is that most of the
LLM-reported issues are rated Low or Moderate severity.
The project released 2.4.67 on May 4th, addressing eleven
vulnerabilities - 1 rated Important severity, 2 rated Moderate and 8
rated Low. This is probably a record CVE count for any single release.
The PMC voted to archive/retire the "libapreq2" library, which we took
over from the Perl PMC but has had little interest/development from
committers in recent years.
Existing committer Vincent Deffontaines joined the PMC, and Giannis
Christodoulou has also accepted an invite for both commit access and
PMC membership.
## Community Health:
Mailing lists and Bugzilla were very busy this quarter, which is
partly due to the release activity. Rich Bowen has done an incredible
job working through the entire backlog of documentation bugs, with a
swathe of updates across both the web site and the httpd manual.
Significantly more Bugzilla bugs closed in a quarter than were opened,
which I can't remember being true at any time during my tenure as
Chair.

There are currently 28 podlings under incubation. In April, the Incubator
made 6 releases, and some release votes are currently underway. There were
two additions and no removals to IPMC membership.
Mailing list discussion in April focused primarily on release voting
activity. There was also a discussion about using MCP-based tooling with
publicly available data to generate Incubator insights, which sparked
interest on the mailing list. This tooling was subsequently used, with
human oversight, to help produce this report. A new incubation proposal for
PIC Standard was discussed. A graduation discussion for Apache Livy has
started.
Caldera has shown very limited engagement with ASF since entering
incubation. Project communication has not been taking place on the mailing
lists, and initial setup tasks, including ICLAs, accounts, and SGA
progress, have not been progressing visibly. The IPMC raised these concerns
with the project, and the podling has confirmed it will change course to
address them and is making progress.
Casbin is a new podling (entered February 2026) submitting its first
report. Development activity still appears to be primarily occurring
outside ASF infrastructure, and project discussions are taking place on
Discord and GitHub Discussions rather than on the mailing lists. The IPMC
will monitor this.
OpenServerless has been incubating for nearly two years and has not yet
released an ASF release. Mailing list activity is almost entirely automated
GitHub messages. No new committers or PPMC members have been elected since
August 2024, and a private message sent to the podling about one month ago
has not received a response. Mentor comments in the most recent reports and
on the general list directly reflect these concerns. The IPMC has raised
the question of whether to initiate a discussion about retirement.
OpenServerless has started to move towards marking a release.
OzHera has not made an ASF release in over a year despite ongoing
development activity. The project has been asked to outline the current
status of release preparation, what is blocking the next release, and to
address low mentor engagement across recent reporting periods.
PouchDB has been in incubation for 12 months with no ASF release. The
project website at pouchdb.apache.org needs some work (which looks to have
been done), and the previous project site at pouchdb.com still exists where
it shouldn't. The IPMC raised these issues with the project's mentors, and
the project is working to address them.
The IPMC continues to monitor long-running podlings and will follow up on
any release or community concerns as needed. In particular, Toree has been
incubating since December 2015. The project is actively working through
release candidate iterations and plans to push for graduation once the
release completes.
Upon submission, only Texera lacked a sign-off.

## Cloudberry
Cloudberry is an advanced and mature open-source Massively Parallel
Processing (MPP) database, derived from the open-source version of Pivotal
Greenplum Database®️ but built on a more modern PostgreSQL 14 kernel,
whereas Greenplum is based on PostgreSQL 12. This upgrade brings enhanced
enterprise capabilities, making Cloudberry well-suited for data
warehousing, large-scale analytics, and AI/ML workloads.

[PJF] Maybe time to start thinking about Graduation (incubating for 2
years). Dev list mail traffic is very low but it does seem like podling is
fairly active generally.
--------------------
## Hamilton
Hamilton is a lightweight in-process framework to define, execute, and
observe directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) that express data
transformations. In Hamilton, one can express complex DAGs of
transformations, e.g. from dataframe transformations (using
pandas, polars, PySpark), machine learning pipelines, through to regular
software engineering API request and LLM API based workflows.
Observability hooks are built into the framework. The Hamilton
UI is a self-hostable service to capture observability output
from workflow runs.
Hamilton has been incubating since 2025-04-12.
## Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. **Grow reviewer/committer diversity** — Bus factor proxy is 2/3 (50%/75%
of commits). Need to cultivate more regular reviewers beyond the core 2-3
maintainers. Reviewer diversity (effective #) is 1.68, which needs
improvement.
2. **Establish a regular release cadence** — Two incubating releases to
date (v1.89.0 in Oct 2025, v1.90.0 in Apr 2026). Need to demonstrate a
sustainable, community-driven release process.
3. **Complete package rename from sf-hamilton to apache-hamilton** —
Migration from the legacy `sf-hamilton` PyPI package to `apache-hamilton`
is in progress (PR #1561). This is important for brand independence and
Apache compliance.
### 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?
- 8 new contributors in the last 3 months
- 12 unique PR authors, 7 unique reviewers (sampled) in the 3-month window
- 13 unique committers in the last 3 months
- dev@ mailing list: 33 messages from 9 unique posters
- Active community PRs from external contributors (ddtrace upgrade,
datasaver fix, async typing fix, optional extractors feature, docs fixes)
- PR activity strong: 97 opened / 72 merged in 3 months, median merge
time 8 days
### How has the project developed since the last report?
- **Released apache-hamilton v1.90.0-incubating** (April 2026) — second
Apache release
- Ongoing package rename from `sf-hamilton` to `apache-hamilton` across
codebase, docs, and PyPI
- Plugin upgrades (Datadog ddtrace 4.x migration)
- Bug fixes for `from __future__ import annotations` compatibility

## Texera
Texera is an open-source platform for human-AI collaborative data science
using visual workflows. It enables human analysts to construct, execute,
and refine data analysis tasks through an intuitive GUI, assisted by AI
agents that understand natural-language instructions. Texera is well suited
for a wide range of applications, including “AI for Science,” by making
advanced AI and data science capabilities accessible to a broader
community. It can run on a laptop for local use or be deployed in the cloud
to support scalable processing of large datasets.
Texera has been incubating since 2025-04-12.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. First incubating release (1.1.0-incubating): eight RCs cut in the
window (rc2 through rc8); release vote / final still pending;
2. Increase community diversity, and need to identify and elect new
committers from active contributors;
3. Trademark / brand assignment to ASF, need to confirm status with
mentors.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
N/A
### How has the community developed since the last report?
- 8 new first-time contributors in the last 3 months:
Anish Shivamurthy, Asish Kumar, Elliot Lin, Eugene Gu, Julie Cao,
Kyle Dang, Nicole Ying, Prateek Ganigi.
- 20 returning contributors.
- 2 new promoted committers: Meng wang (mengw15) and Xuan Gu (xuang7).
- dev@texera.apache.org list traffic: 262 messages, 17 unique posters
across the window.

Maxon) and community members.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
- In the past three months: 326 commits to main, 338 PRs merged
(400 opened), 286 issues closed (351 opened).
- We are actively preparing for the first apache release
(1.1.0-incubating). A total of 8 RCs have been prepared and voted.
We had major updates:
- Fix many security issues reported by internal contributors and public
users
- Create a new service named "Result Service" to give fine grained access
to computing units instead of allowing computing unit talk to database
directly
- Replace Ingress in the Kubernetes cluster with Envoy Gateway, which
made computing units distributed across distant machines without the need
to be part of one Kubernetes cluster
- Improve dataset-upload experience by allowing resumable upload to
support TB-scale data upload with connection disruptions
- Improve the Github PR and issue management by adding automated tag and
triage process
- Built the first AI agent to help users create workflow without the need
to manually drag and drop operators

## Toree
Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
access Apache Spark.
Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
None
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
None, Nothing much of news from previous report
### How has the community developed since the last report?
The community has focused heavily on getting Release 0.6.0 through the
incubator review process.
A significant portion of the recent mailing list discussions involved
working through
review feedback to ensure the project is fully compliant with graduation
requirements,
specifically around the proper attribution and packaging of legal files.
The community wants to finalize and publish Release 0.6.0 and then push
for
graduation once the release process completes.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project progressed through Release 0.6.0 preparation, moving from RC3
up to RC5 votes.
The main technical work involved fixing the assembly process so the fat
jar correctly
includes all licenses and notices from bundled dependencies. We also had
some minor
repository maintenance, such as updating GitHub Actions for SBT setup.
The upcoming release officially brings support for Scala 2.13 and Spark
3.4.4.

No.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
- 4 unique contributors made commits during this commits during this
period (Alex R, Kevin Liu, Nicolas Paris, Rishi Reddy Bokka).
- The community organizes a developer sync every 2 weeks and the last
sync on 4th May we covered Delta Kernel, Hudi 1.x version upgrade, Paimon
source completion, Parquet source completion and AI/MCP integration
scope.[https://xtable.apache.org/community/sync/#typical-agenda]
- First scoping discussions started for AI-related work for XTable
(initial agent skills and an XTable MCP server).
### How has the project developed since the last report?
- Parquet source matured significantly with expanded column stats
support, schema conversion fixes, and
snapshot sync stability for partitioned multi-commit scenarios.
- Delta Kernel APIs implementation progressed and is pending merge (major
milestone).
- Hudi conversion hardened with fixes for batch INSERT_OVERWRITE
replace-commits and empty
earliest-commit-to-retain edge cases.
- Delta conversion improved with stricter checkpoint CRC enforcement and
NPE fixes for binary fields in
nested schemas.
- Iceberg nested comment handling fixed for qualified names.
- Hudi version upgrade and pluggable table format support are in flight
ahead of the next release.

Attachment AO: Report from the Apache Libcloud Project [Tomaž Muraus]
## Description
Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away differences among cloud
provider APIs and provides a unified interface for interacting with
compute, storage, load balancing, DNS, container, and backup services.
## Project Status
Current project status: At risk
The project continues to suffer from a lack of active committers and PMC
members available to review contributions, process PRs, or shepherd
releases.
Since the last report although the current chair, Tomaz Muraus, is still
a bit inactive, some PMC members are trying to reactivate the project.
## Project Activity
During recent months, the project has received few contributions on
GitHub (https://s.apache.org/h4y97). Activity has improved slightly in
the past month as newly added PMC members have begun to re-engage.
A notable contribution was a long-standing community PR that removed
approximately 18 outdated drivers belonging to cloud providers that have
closed or are no longer active.
Two releases have been launched 3.9.0 and 3.9.1.
## Community Health
As noted above, the project currently lacks sufficient active
maintainers (committers and PMC members) to reliably review community
contributions or handle the volume of incoming PRs.
Download and usage statistics indicate that the library still has a
significant user base: https://s.apache.org/k7tug
Like Apache jclouds, Libcloud faces the challenge of being a
"driver-oriented" project, where contributors often focus only on
drivers they personally use, and fewer volunteers are willing to review
or maintain drivers or core components unrelated to their own needs.
This makes long-term maintenance more difficult.
## Membership Data
* Apache Libcloud was founded on 2011-05-19 (almost 15 years ago).
* There are currently 26 committers and 18 PMC members.
* The Committer-to-PMC ratio is approximately 3:2.
Community changes in the past quarter:
* No new PMC members. Last PMC member addition were Zili Chen and Miguel
Caballer (2026-01-24).
* One new committer where added. Chojan Shang (2026-02-18).

Attachment AP: Report from the Apache Logging Services Project [Piotr Karwasz]
## Description:
The mission of the Apache Logging Services project is to create and
maintain of software for managing the logging of application behavior,
and for related software components.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
No changes since the last report:
- Founded: 2003-12-17 (22 years ago)
- Committers: 49 (21 active)
- PMC Members: 23 (15 active)
- Committer-to-PMC ratio: 2:1 overall; 1:1 among active members
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Jan Friedrich on 2024-08-07.
- Grzegorz Dziadkiewicz was added as committer on 2026-04-13.
- Ramanathan Muthu was added as committer on 2026-05-09.
## Project Activity:
During the February–April 2026 quarter, the three active components
(Log4j, Log4cxx, and Log4net) showed overall moderate activity, with a
significant focus on coordinated security disclosures. Seven CVEs were
published across the three components.
The triage of the Log4j Bug Bounty Program backlog was completed during
the quarter. The program was officially suspended on April 1st, with
third-party triaging effectively ending in late January when the quota
was exhausted. This allowed the team to refocus on feature work.
The Trivy compromise caused additional churn: all third-party workflows
now require pre-approval by INFRA, prompting a change in the
architecture and update cadence of our reusable workflows.
The project also discussed and tested branch and tag protection via the
experimental GitHub Rulesets integration, as a preamble for future SLSA
Source Provenance adoption.
### Log4cxx (activity: moderate)
- Releases:
- 1.7.0 on April 4th, 2026
### Log4j (activity: moderate)
- The project discussed the deprecation of the Kotlin and Scala
bindings, since better alternatives in those languages exist and they
can all reuse the Log4j Core engine.
- Releases:
- 2.25.4 on March 28th, 2026
- 2.26.0 on May 7th, 2026
### Log4net (activity: moderate)
- Releases:
- 3.3.0 on February 20th, 2026
- 3.3.1 on April 19th, 2026
## Community Health:
The community remains active, with issues and pull requests opened daily.
Three indicators worth flagging this quarter:
1. Cross-project coordination on security: Log4j, Log4cxx, and Log4net
all shipped fixes for analogous XML 1.0 character-handling issues
within a six-week window, evidence that the PMC's security workflow
scales across the three runtimes.
2. New contributor engagement: notable first-time or returning
contributors landed substantive PRs. Two new committers were added in
the period.
3. Sustained drag from low-quality security reports: as detailed in the
Project Activity section above, the volunteer cost of AI-generated
reports is the dominant non-release pressure on the project, and the
response is being shared openly with the wider ecosystem.

Attachment AQ: Report from the Apache Lucene.Net Project [Shad Storhaug]
## Description:
Apache Lucene.NET is a port of the Lucene search engine library, written in C#
and targeted at .NET runtime users.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with moderate activity
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Lucene.Net was founded 2012-08-15 (14 years ago)
There are currently 17 committers and 14 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:7.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Ron Clabo on 2022-03-03.
- No new committers. Last addition was Nehan Pathan on 2025-09-23.
## Project Activity:
Activity continues toward a final 4.8.0-beta00018 release, although much of
the work is still being done in J2N and ICU4N. We have completed most of the
work to upgrade J2N to System.Memory types to allow for more efficient memory
management. There are only 3 remaining issues on the J2N 2.2 milestone.
Lucene.Net is undergoing several breaking API changes to stabilize the API for
the 4.8.0-beta00018 release.
Some of the major tasks currently underway or have recently been completed
are:
- Adding code analyzers to automate code management tasks that are specialized
for Lucene.NET.
- Adding cancellation token support in SearcherManager and several of its
dependencies.
- Creating a new implementation of MMapDirectory to address several
performance and durability concerns around index access when under heavy
concurrent load.
- Creating alternate lookup functionality in J2N collections that works not
just on modern .NET, but also older target frameworks that we support. This
allows us to avoid allocating temporary strings when looking up values in
hash tables.
- Creating an OpenStringBuilder implementation that manages a single
contiguous block of memory, since the value in System.Text.StringBuilder
cannot be converted to ReadOnlySpan<char> due to multiple possible chunks of
memory.
- Creating a plan to compare API status between ICU4J and ICU4N so we can mark
some APIs that are not ready unstable in order to push the release out
before all of the APIs have been modernized.
- Created low level hash table collections (OrderedHashSet<T> and
OrderedDictionary<TKey, TValue>) to simulate the LinkedHashSet<E> and
LinkedHashMap<K, V> Java collections.
- Began adding support for using J2N and Lucene.NET with AOT trimming.
- Creating an API comparison tool to help locate missing or mismatched APIs
between Lucene and Luceene.NET.
We are leaning heavily into AI to help automate most of the analysis and some
of the code development tasks, and it is paying off in that we are moving at a
much better pace.
Most recent releases:
Apache-Lucene.Net-4.8.0-beta00017 was released on 2024-10-29.
Apache-Lucene.Net-4.8.0-beta00016 was released on 2022-02-17.
Apache-Lucene.Net-4.8.0-beta00015 was released on 2021-10-29.
## Community Health:
- builds@lucenenet.apache.org had a 94% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
(3 emails compared to 46)
- dev@lucenenet.apache.org had a 231% increase in
traffic in the past quarter (318 emails compared to 96)

We are starting to see some improvement in commit activity as we finish
several of the remaining tasks for the Lucene.NET 4.8.0 port including
directly addressing performance concerns, concurrency problems, and other
issues that are important to end users.

Version 2.30 released in April including the upgrade to OpenJDK 21 and we removed some legacy connectors.
We are currently working on the next release, replacing legacy thread pooling with Virtual Threads and
implementing Structured Concurrency to improve the reliability of complex crawling jobs.
A few users contacted me privately on LinkedIn, they are very interested to the new Roadmap.
It seems that probably the new steering plan to make the project as an injection framework for
vector databases is something that can attract new contributors and users.
Recent releases:
2.30 was released on 2026-04-11
2.29 was released on 2025-09-12
SDK 1.02 released on 2025-02-10

2.26 was released on 2023-11-01
2.25 was released on 2023-06-01
## Community Health:
The project is still active, but the community is very small and not responsive.
I would try to attract new contributors by implementing the new roadmap, but I don't have any expectation about the results.

Since February, most release managers are using ATR to manage the 72h vote
step of their releases: this remains an optional choice, both for release
manager and voters, that does not change our overall release process, but
permits some feedback to Tooling.
An "ATR upload" Maven plugin is in preparation to ease release composition:
it is owned by Tooling but maintained by Maven PMC
https://github.com/apache/tooling-trusted-releases/issues/926
Maven 3.9.15 was released as last bugfix: we're working on Maven 3.10.x as the
next/last stable Maven 3 branch, that prepares a smooth transition to future
Maven 4.0 (by using the same Resolver 2 and getting a few structural changes).
We updated our Maven logo to adapt to the new ASF brand.
## Community Health:
Users mailing list activity remains quite low, even if a few key discussion
happened there, like voting on the new logo.
Development discussions happen both on mailing-list for taking decisions, and
Slack for more diverse unstructured topics.

Attachment AT: Report from the Apache OpenOffice Project [Keith McKenna]
-----------------------------------------
Attachment AU: Report from the Apache OpenWebBeans Project [Mark Struberg]
## Description:
Apache OpenWebBeans is an ALv2-licensed implementations of the
"Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform"
specifications which are defined as JSR-299 (CDI-1.0), JSR-346
(CDI-1.1 and CDI-1.2 MR), JSR-365 (CDI-2.0) and
Jakarta CDI (CDI-4.0, CDI-4.1).
The OWB community also maintains a small server as
Apache Meecrowave subproject. Meecrowave bundles latest releases of
the ASF projects Tomcat + OpenWebBeans + CXF + Johnzon + log4j2.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
We did a new OWB-4.1.0 release targetting the new CDI-4.1 specification.
Which also explains the uptick in activity. This will be followed up by
a new Meecrowave release which we are currently preparing.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 13 PMC members, 20 committers
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Reinhard Sandtner on 2017-10-09.
- Jonathan Gallimore was added as committer on 2025-12-04
## Recent releases:
- 4.1.o was released on 2026-05-03.
- meecrowave-2.0.0 was released on 2025-10-21.
- 2.0.28 was released on 2025-05-19.

Attachment AV: Report from the Apache OpenWhisk Project [Dave Grove]
## Description:
The mission of Apache OpenWhisk is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a platform for building serverless applications with functions
## Project Status:
Current project status: Dormant
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache OpenWhisk was founded 2019-07-16 (7 years ago)
There are currently 54 committers and 22 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Cosmin Stanciu on 2022-02-22.
- No new committers. Last addition was Luke Roy on 2023-03-06.
## Project Activity:
There was no development activity in the last quarter.
The most recent releases were part of a wave of openwhisk-runtime releases
made in August/September 2024:
openwhisk-runtime-java-1.20.0 was released on 2024-09-23.
openwhisk-runtime-php-1.21.0 was released on 2024-09-23.
openwhisk-runtime-python-1.20.0 was released on 2024-09-23
openwhisk-runtime-swift-1.19.0: was released on 2024-09-23
openwhisk-runtime-dotnet-1.18.0: was released on 2024-09-13
openwhisk-runtime-docker-1.16.0: was released on 2024-09-07
openwhisk-runtime-nodejs-1.23.0: was released on 2024-09-07
openwhisk-runtime-go-1.25.0: was released on 2024-09-05
## Community Health:
There are sufficient PMC members paying attention to handle security issues,
and answer the relatively low volume of user questions that we get (mainly via
GitHub issues).
With the exception of a small number of academic research projects, users of
OpenWhisk have moved on to other serverless platforms.
However, the Apache OpenServerless (incubating) project remains active and
packages Apache OpenWhisk as one of its components. It is not clear to me
whether there is sufficient interest in OpenServerless to revive activity in
OpenWhisk or what would happen to OpenServerless if OpenWhisk were to retire
to the Attic.

Attachment AX: Report from the Apache Perl Project [Steve Hay]
## Description:
The mission of Perl is the creation and maintenance of software related to
Dynamic websites using Perl
## Project Status:
Current project status: At risk
Issues for the board: The project may not have sufficient oversight from the PMC
## Membership Data:
Apache Perl was founded 2000-03-10 (26 years ago)
There are currently 21 committers and 11 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 Steve Hay on 2012-03-01.
- No new committers were added.
## Project Activity:
The last release was mod_perl-2.0.13 on 2023-10-21.
The unfortunate demise of apreq was brought up on the mod_perl mailing lists
lists, with two significant revelations: Firstly, my message to the PMC asking
if we have enough skills to take on apreq rather than see it moved to the Attic
only got one reply, which must call into question whether we even have enough
people around to continue maintaining mod_perl itself. Secondly, it came to
light that whilst the official mod_perl project's development has long been
in a very quiet maintenance mode, some development has taken place elsewhere in
a fork on GitHub
A PR has been sent to the Apache mirror of mod_perl on GitHub, which I wasn't
aware of until recently since development is normally only via SVN.
## Community Health:
Mailing list traffic was slightly up due to the apreq announcement. There are
clearly users of mod_perl (and apreq) still out there, but they might be better
served by the new GitHub fork if we can't even muster replies from 3 PMC members
here. apreq has also been forked by the same GitHub author, and also has some
development activity which clearly now won't be merged back to the official ASF
version, so even if mod_perl is kept alive here users wanting apreq as well will
still have to go to GitHub to get the latest version of that.

Attachment BA: Report from the Apache POI Project [Dominik Stadler]
Report from the Apache POI committee [Dominik Stadler]
## Description:
- Apache POI is a Java library for reading and writing Microsoft Office file
formats.
The Apache POI PMC also handles bugfixes for the XMLBeans project: XMLBeans
is a tool that allows you to map XML files to generated Java classes via
XML Schema definitions.
## Project Status:
- Overall: Low activity/Mostly maintenance only
- Activity on the project is low with no-one willing/able to invest time to
look for new committers. This project is in a mostly-maintenance mode
unless someone new starts to invest time.
- Note: None of the active committers wants to spend time looking for new
people, so suggesting to reach out to others or invest in "marketing" will
likely not lead to much improvement.
- The project still has enough active PMC members to vote on issues and
perform releases
## Membership Data:
Apache POI was founded 2007-05-16 (19 years ago) There are currently 41
committers and 34 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio
is roughly 6:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Marius Volkhart on 2020-12-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Marius Volkhart on 2020-12-19.
## Project Activity:
- Upgraded to minimum Java 11, we likely will go to Java 17 for the next
major release 6.x
- Various bug-fixes, some from external contributes via GitHub PRs
## Project Release Activity:
- 5.5.1 was released on 2025-11-30.
- 5.5.0 was released on 2025-11-15.
- 5.4.1 was released on 2025-04-06.
- XMLBeans-5.3.0 was released on 2024-12-13.
## Community Health:
- There are a few bug-reports and pull-requests which indicates that Apache
POI is still in use. Questions via email or on Stackoverflow usually get
answers.
- Bug-numbers slowly increase over time. Some newly reported issues are
fixed, but we usually get more bugs/questions reported than are addressed
by the small number of active committers, so some bugs do not get attention
any more.
- We have a very small number of active committers. There are very few
potential candidates and no-one plans to spend effort to go looking for new
ones.
### XMLBeans
- It seems there are is a small but active set of users of XMLBeans besides
Apache POI itself.
- Bug influx for XMLBeans is very low in general because it is a stable
project in maintenance-only mode.
## Bug Statistics:
### Apache POI
- 637 bugs are open overall (+3)
- Having 146 enhancements (+-0)
- Thus having 491 actual bugs (+3)
- 120 of these are waiting for feedback (-1)

Attachment BB: 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
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Polaris was founded 2026-02-18 (3 months ago)
There are currently 31 committers and 19 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Sung Yun was added to the PMC on 2026-04-27
- Adam Christian was added as committer on 2026-03-07
- Adnan Hemani was added as committer on 2026-03-07
- Christopher Lambert was added as committer on 2026-03-11
- Danica Fine was added as committer on 2026-02-27
## Project Activity:
Apache Polaris 1.4.0 was released on April 23, 2026, making the project's
first major release as fully graduated TLP. This release represents a
significant milestone, with the project returning to a regalar monthly cadence
following graduation. The 1.4.0 release highlights are:
- Credential vending support for Azure and Google Cloud Storage backends
- Catalog federation design advances, allowing Polaris to serve as a front for
multiple catalog backends in multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCS)
- S3 KMS encryption support for AWS-backed catalogs
- Polaris Python CLI 1.4.0 released alongside the server distribution
Quickly after, Apache Polaris 1.4.1 was released on May 1, 2026, as a security
release, fixing 4 CVEs:
- CVE-2026-42809
- CVE-2026-42810
- CVE-2026-42811
- CVE-2026-42812
The PMC worked efficiently on identifying, reporting, and fixing
these security issues with the ASF security team and releasing a
patch-version with the fixes.
## Community Health:
Sung Yun has been elected as new PMC member on 2026_04-27. Post-graduation
development has been highly active, with multiple design proposals advancing
simultaneously on the dev mailing list (69% increase in traffic in the past
quarter). We can note the following active design proposals in the community:
- Apache Ranger Authorization RFC: the community proposes opt-in Ranger
integration for organizations running Ranger alongside Hive, Spark, and
Trino. It provides unified governance framework eliminating policy
duplication.
- OpenLineage integration: the community is discussing OpenLineage
integration, around events, and proxy approaches.
- AGENTS.md: the community discussed about adding AGENDS.md to the repository
to provide agent-readable metadata. It improves the compatibility with AI
coding tools and automated contribution workflows. This reflects a broader
trend across the ASF projects to address AI tooling in the development
workflow.
In terms of event outreach, Iceberg Summit 2026 showed Apache Polaris features
prominently as part of the open lakehouse ecosystem. Polaris Community Sprint
gathered Polaris community members to discuss proposals. Also Iceberg
Pre-Summit Meetup hosted by Bloomberg Engineering included Polaris
representation.
On the trademark part, the PMC is actively managing third-party use of the
Polaris brand in compliance with The ASF branding guidelines.

Attachment BE: Report from the Apache RocketMQ Project [Xiaorui Wang]
## Description:
The mission of Apache RocketMQ is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a fast, low latency, reliable, scalable, distributed, easy to use
message-oriented middleware, especially for processing large amounts of
streaming data.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache RocketMQ was founded 2017-09-20 (8.5 years ago) There are currently 76
committers and 21 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 7:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Zhouxiang Zhan on 2023-09-21.
- Xiao Yang was added as a new committer during this reporting period.
## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
- ROCKETMQ-5.5.0 was released on 2026-04-10.
## Community Health:
Over the past quarter, the Apache RocketMQ community has continued to show a
stable and healthy development trend. Activity on GitHub has stayed steady,
with ongoing work across feature development and issue management.
Contributions and issue resolutions remain well balanced, and pull requests
are being reviewed and merged in a consistent and timely manner, reflecting
smooth collaboration between contributors and maintainers. Contributor
participation is still fairly distributed, with no clear dependence on a small
group of individuals, which is a good sign of a decentralized and sustainable
development model. Most of the changes are incremental, focusing on continuous
improvements, bug fixes, and refinements to existing functionality rather than
major architectural changes. Overall, no unusual patterns were observed during

Attachment BI: Report from the Apache Sedona Project [Jia Yu]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Sedona is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a big geospatial data processing engine. It provides an easy to use
APIs for spatial data scientists to manage, wrangle, and process geospatial data
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: No issues
## Membership Data:
Apache Sedona was founded 2022-12-20 (3 years ago)
There are currently 25 committers and 20 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 5:4.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Dewey Dunnington was added to the PMC on 2026-04-28
- Liang Geng was added as committer on 2026-04-28
## Project Activity:
Sedona 1.9.0 was released on April 22, 2026. This is a major release with new
features, improvements, and bug fixes. Key highlights include Spark 4.1
support, a new proj4sedona library for CRS transformation that replaces the
previous PROJ dependency for many transformations, and a new family of Bing
Tile spatial functions for tile-based analytics. The release also extends the
OSM PBF reader with additional metadata fields, adds _metadata hidden column
support for the Shapefile and GeoPackage DataSource V2 readers, expands the
GeoPandas-style API on Spark with additional geometry operations, and includes
numerous bug fixes and documentation improvements.
SedonaDB 0.3.0 was released on March 10, 2026. This release of Apache Sedona's
single-node spatial analytics engine introduces larger-than-memory spatial
joins, allowing SedonaDB to operate on datasets that exceed available memory,
and adds row-level CRS support so that geometries within a single column can
carry independent coordinate reference systems. The release also includes
broader spatial SQL coverage and performance improvements.
SpatialBench 0.2.0 was released on February 23, 2026. This release of Apache
Sedona's geospatial SQL benchmark suite adds S3 write support for data
generation, nightly benchmark support for DuckDB and SedonaDB, Spatial Polars
integration, and an automated benchmark GitHub Action for comparing spatial
libraries across runs.
## Community Health:
The community remains healthy with active engagement across GitHub, the dev
mailing list, and Discord. The Apache Reporter Community Health Score (Chi)
is 10.00 (Super Healthy).
In recognition of sustained contributions, we promoted Dewey Dunnington to
the PMC and added Liang Geng as a new committer this quarter. JIRA activity
remains low by design — the project transitioned from JIRA to GitHub Issues
in 2025, so most issue traffic now flows through GitHub. Traffic on the
issues@ mailing list grew 13% quarter-over-quarter (2431 vs 2142 emails),
reflecting continued contributor activity on PRs and issues.

Attachment BJ: Report from the Apache Serf Project [Daniel Sahlberg]
## Description:
The mission of the Apache Serf project is creating and maintaining of
software related to HTTP and associated protocols.
## Project Status:
The project has sufficient PMC oversight.
There are no threats to the sustainability or resilience of the project,
although the project is in general very much dormant due to lack of
need/requirements from our users.
The project has no requests for the Foundation.
## Membership Data:
Apache Serf was founded 2015-08-18 (11 years ago)
There are currently 17 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:8.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Graham Leggett on 2025-06-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Graham Leggett on 2025-06-28.
## Project Activity:
Ongoing discussion about releasing the next minor release, Serf 1.5.0.
Recent releases:
* 1.3.10 was released on 2023-05-31.
* 1.3.9 was released on 2016-08-31.
## Community Health:
Serf and Subversion have a significant overlap of committers and PMC
members and Subversion is the only (known) open source project using
Serf. New features in Subversion are therefore the primary driver for
development in Serf.
After significant activity last quarter, activity died down due to
lack of time.
There are still plans for making a new minor release in the near
future.
One security issue was reported via security@a.o, however after review
it only exist in non-released code and will be handled before the next
release.
Our community is fully volunteer-driven and we would like to thank
everyone for their support.

Attachment BL: Report from the Apache ShardingSphere Project [Liang Zhang]
## Description:
The mission of Apache ShardingSphere is the creation and maintenance of
software related to a database clustering system providing data sharding,
distributed transactions, and distributed database management
## Project Status:
Current project status: OK Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache ShardingSphere was founded 2020-04-15 (6 years ago) There are currently
62 committers and 22 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio
is roughly 8:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Longtao Jiang on 2024-03-28.
- No new committers. Last addition was Chenyang Ma on 2024-05-27.
## Project Activity:
Apache ShardingSphere maintained a steady development and release cadence
during this quarter and published version 5.5.3.
The work in this release can be summarized in several areas: continued
security fixes and stability hardening to ensure the reliability of core
execution paths in production scenarios; ongoing improvement of the overall
pluggable architecture and module decoupling to further enhance the
extensibility of database types, feature components, and governance
capabilities; enhanced JDBC and Proxy integration and compatibility to support
a broader database ecosystem and more deployment scenarios; and continued
expansion of SQL parsing, routing, rule management, and end-to-end
verification capabilities to improve multi-dialect support, operational
experience, and overall quality assurance. Overall, the project continued to
advance with a balanced focus on core capability evolution, compatibility
improvement, and engineering quality.
## Community Health:
Community health remains stable overall. Although there were no new PMC
members or committers during the reporting period, existing maintainers and
contributors continued to collaborate steadily, and development, review, and
release activities all progressed normally. In addition to the core
contributors continuing to take on the main maintenance responsibilities,
external contributors also remained involved in areas such as dialect
compatibility, test improvements, and bug fixes, indicating that the project
still has a healthy level of contribution activity. At the same time, the
project has entered a more mature and stable stage, so its activity level is
naturally lower than during its earlier growth phase.

## Project Activity:
Contributions from external participants continue to arrive, including from
first-time contributors. We are also seeing encouraging traffic on the
revamped documentation site introduced with the most recent release, which
suggests the improved structure and accessibility are helping users find what
they need. We hope this will continue to lower the barrier to entry and bring
more contributors into the project over time.
On the trademark front, we have finalized a logo for the project following
feedback from M&P. With the logo now in place, we plan to move forward with
the remaining steps of the trademark process.

The StormCrawler community remains active and stable. Pull requests from
external contributors continue to arrive, and engagement with the new
documentation is a positive signal for community growth. Since the last
report, we have added a new PMC member, bringing the PMC to six, which
partially addresses the concern raised previously about the small size of the
PMC and the difficulty of gathering votes within short timeframes. Discussion
of an additional committer is underway on the private list, which would
further strengthen the contributor base. Ongoing documentation improvements
remain a focus to ensure newcomers can participate easily and existing
contributors stay engaged.

## Project Activity:
### 1.15.0 Coming Soon
The 1.15.0 release is coming soon! Release management activities have
begun and the second release candidate (RC) tarball has been rolled
and is currently being tested. Some issues have been identified during
this testing, with fixes underway [1].
The big headliner feature for the 1.15 release line is Pristines On
Demand. This feature can, at the user's option, reduce the size of
checked out working copies by up to 50% by downloading pristines from
the server only when needed, rather than keeping them cached locally
at all times [2].
Numerous other features and improvements are coming in 1.15, including
Multi-WC [3], streamy checkouts [4], and experimental support for
building Subversion with CMake.
For details, see the draft release notes [5] and the CHANGES file [6].

### New Release Life Cycle
There is a new life cycle and support roadmap for Subversion releases,
starting with the upcoming 1.15 release line.
The new roadmap is the culmination of many community discussions over
several years. It aims to solve issues we encountered with the old
roadmap and incorporate feedback from the wider community.
The full details can be read at our Roadmap page [7]. The latest
discussion thread is at [8].

[8] https://lists.apache.org/thread/gwkrrmg3qh01zmlb1wvt5vp0r5k9rsrn
### Other Activity
Development of 'svnbrowse', a new Terminal User Interface (TUI)
utility for browsing remote Subversion repositories. This utility
should make it easier to figure out which part of a repository to
checkout when working on the command line.
In addition, there have been a huge number of bug fixes and code
quality improvements, too numerous to list individually.
## Community Health:
Activity tends to come in waves. Last summer and early autumn were
noticeably quieter, but activity has increased significantly during
winter 2025 and spring of this year. Two emeritus PMC members have re-
joined the project; the upcoming 1.15.0 release is in progress; user
questions usually receive helpful responses on the mailing lists; the
codebase, website, and project infrastructure continue to be improved.
Altogether, the community appears healthy for a mature and stable
project.
Our community is fully volunteer-driven and we would like to thank
everyone for their support.

Attachment BU: Report from the Apache Superset Project [Maxime Beauchemin]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Superset is the creation and maintenance of software
related to data exploration, analysis, visualization, and dashboarding
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, with high activity and community engagement.
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Superset was founded 2020-11-17 (5 years ago)
There are currently 77 committers and 39 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Hai Do was added to the PMC on 2026-04-10
- Gabriel Torres was added as committer on 2026-03-16
- Amin Ghadersohi was added as committer on 2026-03-20
## Project Activity:
6.1.0 was just voted in, and is due for imminent release.
6.0.1 is also VERY close to done.
MCP and Extensions projects are trucking along... and a new Kubernetes
Operator. Still active and optimistic in investing in our product's
future(agentic and wildly flexible/customizable).
In the last 90 days
* Issues opened: 260
* Issues closed: 276
* PRs opened: 1,732
* PRs merged: 1,087
* PRs closed without merging: 464
* Unique PR authors: 145

* Unique issue authors: 162
Also, these seem to be slowing in growth, but still moving forward:
* GitHub stars: 72,801
* Forks: 17,275
## Community Health:
Numerous conference talks are in flight... many of us are out there banging
the drum!
That said (as I've mentioned), only a small percentage of our roster is
active, so we still intend to revisit some sort of Active vs Inactive/Emeritus
roster like other projects do. Thanks for the recent guidance on this. The
problem we're trying to solve is partly that of optics (giving more
merit/visibility to those who actively contribute than to those who departed
years ago) and also making it clear who you CAN actually ping on
GitHub/Slack/Email since a lot of people gone from the project get mentioned
due to git history and such, but aren't likely to respond.
Getting more fly-by contributions (for better and worse) than ever (thanks,
AI). We're actively trying to spot and engage with anyone who seems likely
candidates for deeper involvement as Committers.
Always trying to trim the issue/PR/security backlog, which seems ever-growing,
and security submissions come in as fast as we can tackle them, you are
probably aware. Working with other PMCs and within our own the find the most
scalable ways to stay on top of everything.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Mo Chen on 2024-04-15.
- Jake Champion was added as a committer on 2026-04-06.
## Project Activity:
Notable work this quarter includes shipping the ssl_multicert configuration
in YAML form, parallelizing SSL certificate load at startup, adding a
ja4_fingerprint plugin with BoringSSL support and a new jax_fingerprint
plugin, adding a filter_body plugin for request and response body content
filtering, adding Cache Groups concepts to Cripts, implementing RFC 9213
Targeted HTTP Cache Control with a CDN-Cache-Control default, ignoring
malformed Cache-Control directives per RFC 7234, adding Lua plugin support
for the connection exempt list, fixing cache directory corruption in
parallel directory sync, and adding a parallel autest runner that
materially reduces CI time.
We also did substantial portability and TLS library work, including a fix
to build with OpenSSL 3.5+ after the engine API was removed, additional
BoringSSL compatibility, OCSP stapling crash and timeout hardening, and
making the 9.2.x branch build on macOS 26.
Development remains healthy with 20 active contributors merging 256 pull
requests across 174 commits to master. The project closed more issues
than were opened (66 closed vs. 51 created), continuing to reduce our
backlog.
We shipped four bug fix releases this quarter: 9.2.12 and 10.1.1 on
February 6, followed by 9.2.13 and 10.1.2 on April 2-3. Work on the next
feature release, 10.2.0, is underway on the 10.2.x branch. ATS 11.0.0
remains targeted for late summer.
## Community Health:
We are holding a virtual ATS Summit on May 20-21, 2026, two remote
half-days. Planned topics include the state of the project, the ATS 11
roadmap, AI-assisted code review and development workflows, CI and
testing improvements, and documentation and onboarding.
We continue to hold weekly bug and issue scrubs every Monday, ensuring
timely review of pull requests and resolution of user-reported issues.
The project continues to close more issues than are opened, indicating
good maintenance of the codebase. There is active participation in code
reviews and discussions on the dev mailing list.

Attachment CB: Report from the Apache TsFile Project [Jialin Qiao]
## Description:
The mission of Apache TsFile is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a columnar storage file format designed for time series data
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with high activity. Issues for the board: No.
## Membership Data:
Apache TsFile was founded 2023-11-15 (2 years ago) There are currently 21
committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
7:6.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Gaofei Cao on 2023-11-15.
- No new committers. Last addition was Xinhao Gu on 2025-04-22.
## Project Activity:
### Recent releases:
- 2.3.0 was released on 2026-04-27.
- 2.2.1 was released on 2026-03-20.
- 2.2.0 was released on 2025-12-30.
### Main work of project:
This quarter saw significant progress in both feature development and
multi-language ecosystem expansion. The tag filter feature, which enables
filtering conditions on tag columns, has been completed. We also added support
for importing data from Apache Parquet and Apache Arrow formats into TsFile,
allowing users to convert existing columnar datasets into TsFile format with
schema mapping or automatic inference.
On the Python side, TsFileDataFrame was introduced, enabling users to read
TsFile data directly as Pandas DataFrames. Python wheel support has been
extended to Python 3.14, and compatibility with a broader range of NumPy
versions has been improved.
## Community Health:
dev@tsfile.apache.org had a 54% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (35
emails compared to 76). The decline is mainly because development this quarter
was execution-focused — implementing features previously discussed on the
mailing list — and more day-to-day discussions are happening on GitHub pull
requests and issues.
We are currently in contact with the Hugging Face community, working to make
TsFile a first-class citizen in Hugging Face Datasets for storing time-series
modality data. A pull request[1] has been submitted and is under review.

Attachment CC: Report from the Apache Turbine Project [Georg Kallidis]
## Description:
The mission of Turbine is the creation and maintenance of software related to
A Java Servlet Web Application Framework and associated component library
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Turbine was founded 2007-05-16 (19 years ago) There are currently 12
committers and 9 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
4:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Jeffery Painter on 2017-11-12.
- No new committers. Last addition was Youngho on 2021-12-06.
## Project Activity:
The project is now ready for preparing a next release cycle probably in v8.0
with Java baseline 21 or later - yet with currently overall low code activity.
Fulcrum parser, which is designed to be used extensively in velocity
templates, does now allow sub classes to implement custom filtering of
parameters as a security measure.
Besides this, other smaller code changes in components are mainly house
keeping (skins, dependencies, ..).
## Community Health:
Turbine developer community has currently not yet decided in the mailing list,
which way to go, but security issues and an Java upgrade are already the major
issues to be considered. More topics on the ASF level like trusted releases
and responsible AI absorb attention, although without current impact on the
project.

The work is really promising.
Production stability is also important.
The community has fixed some bugs which make the job hanging all the time.
The performance is still optimzed for the production environment.
Community Health:
Overall community health is good.
The community is stable.
The community developers are fixing the issues reported by users.
The new features are developing expecially for Spark 4.1 support.
The automation release is also discussing.

## Project Activity:
On 2026-04-18, the Velocity Master POM 8 release was promoted. We are gearing
up for new Engine and Tools releases, but of course, at our usual volunteer,
plodding pace.
## Community Health:
The addition of a new PMC member/committer is nice. Contributions are slow,
and reactions to those are slow as well, but we're solid and healthy enough
considering the completeness of the libraries. A lot of the work we're slowly
doing is simply reacting to environmental changes like the jakarta namespace.

information systems. We intend to build freely available XSLT processing
components in order to engender such improvements.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with low activity.
Issues for the board: None.
## Membership Data:
Apache Xalan was founded 2004-09-30 (22 years ago)
There are currently 57 committers and 5 PMC members in this project.

- No new PMC members. Last addition was Joseph Kessselman on 2023-08-07.
- No new committers. Last addition was Joseph Kessselman on 2023-06-29.
## Project Activity:
The main activity for this reporting period is the release of an Alpha-1 to
introduce support for XSLT 3.0. Ongoing work is in progress toward an Alpha-2.
There is no activity on the C side of the house.
## Community Health:
While email traffic is up this is likely a result of Jira traffic and
discussion of XSLT 3.0 Alpha work. There is no new contributor and the overall
project aside from XSLT 3 is quiet on the Java and C side.
