## APISIX
APISIX is a cloud-native microservices API gateway, delivering the ultimate performance, security, open source and scalable platform for all your APIs and microservices.
APISIX is based on Nginx and etcd. Compared with traditional API gateways, APISIX has dynamic routing and plug-in hot loading, which is especially suitable for API management under micro-service system.
APISIX has been incubating since 2019-10-17.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. More Apache Releases and more committers act as release manager to release a version.
2. More committers and PPMC members.
3. Branding issues in the documentation, code, website, etc.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
None
### How has the community developed since the last report?
- We have some talks about the best practices of high-performance API gateway on COSCon 2019, Dec 8th and OpenTalk, Dec 8th.
- We have solved the Apache APISIX major brand issues in documentation, code, website, etc.
- We have 13 committers and 50 contributors (including 13 committers) contributing to Apache APISIX.
- Over 19 company users have announced that they are using APISIX and more than 50% of them also submitted code or fixed the documentation for APISIX : https://github.com/apache/incubator-apisix/issues/487
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project has been quite health, with more than 29 pull requests, 25 of them have being merged in December. These pull requests are authored by a diverse set of contributors. We also suggest and guide users from QQ group to make issues at Apache APISIX mailing list, which is helpful for people who have the same issue and tracking bugs.
This month's Pull Request is mainly divided into three aspects:
- Fixing Apache APISIX bug.
- Supporting more configuration items and optimizing the experience on Apache APISIX Dashboard.
- Supplement Apache APISIX function manual

## NuttX
NuttX is a mature, real-time embedded operating system (RTOS) with
emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint.
NuttX has been incubating since 2019-12-09.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Clear any potential infringing use of the NuttX trademark
2. Grow the community outside the old project and around Apache
infrastructure
3. Make the first release under the Apache umbrella.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Even though the project is in its early incubation stages, its maturity
allowed us to elect 3 new members:
Ken and Masayuki are both long time contributors to NuttX. They were
interested in becoming Committers/PPMC members and supposed to be in the
initial committers list but missed the window by few hours (the voting had
already started).
Brennan is also a long time contributor, and recently has put in some crazy
hours to convert our old DokuWiki to Confluence.
The project consists of two main repositories, _nuttx_ and _apps_.
These two repositories are hosted by Apache in
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-nuttx.git
and https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-nuttx-apps.git
There are also 3 supporting repositories that have GPL licenses
and hence can't be released under the Apache license.
Nothing in these GPL repositories is ever delivered with NuttX releases.
There are only references in the documentation to aid in building and
installing the operating system.
It is unclear where these repositories should reside.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
The project used to have a google group where questions, patches and
technical issues were discussed.
Now, three mailing lists are in place: _dev_, _commit_ and _private_.
_dev_ has 100 subscribers and is getting quite heavy traffic as the
community is debating the next steps of the project.
In the meantime, some contributors have already submitted a few patches
and PRs.
However, as it was expected, user activity has dropped down a little
compared to the google group.
First, not all google group subscribers are subscribed to the _dev_
mailing list.
Additionally, moving to Apache required reviewing the previous workflow
and developing new requirements. This is currently the center of almost
all discussions in the mailing list.
Things are anticipated to settle down and get back to normal once
our new way of working is sorted out.
Regarding the project committee, it started with 12 members
(4 mentors and 8 initial committers).
Since incubation, 2 committers and 1 PPMC member have been added.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project is only in its early days of incubation.
The necessary resources are set up. The repositories have moved from
Bitbucket to GitHub/GitBox and the Wiki from DokuWiki to Confluence.
As noted above, the workflow requirements are still under development,
it is expected that the project will see more contributions once this
has been taken care of.
First version of the website is available in github.io
(https://apache-nuttx-website.github.io/). It will be moved to Apache
servers.
