visual development environment, servers, metadata analysis, auditing
services and so on. As a platform, Hop also wants to be a reusable library
so that it can be easily reused by other software.

Hop has been incubating since 2020-09-24.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. identify and resolve the last remaining incompatibly licensed dependencies (if any)
  2. create a first release
  3. grow the community

## NuttX

NuttX is a mature, real-time embedded operating system (RTOS).

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. Make more releases under Apache
  3. Continue to grow the community with people from different background

### 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?

  * Most communications have moved from old venues to dev@nuttx.apache.org.  
	The dev list contains 210 subscribers, an increase of 6% since our  
    previous report, and is the home of all development discussions and  
    user questions.  
  * Github's PRs and Issues also have their own discussions.  
  * We are seeing new contributors to the project through Github.  
  * One new committer has been added since the last report.  

### How has the project developed since the last report?

  * We have made significant steps toward license clearing, needed for  
    graduation: In this quarter, we have secured 34 ICLAs and 7 SGAs,  
    the most of any quarter so far, from past and present contributors.  
  * We have successfully made our third, fourth, and fifth releases  
    under the ASF umbrella: NuttX-10.0 followed by security fix releases  
    NuttX-9.1.1 and NuttX-10.0.1.  
  * Contributions are flowing regularly as PRs in GitHub with occasional  
    patches in the dev list.  
  * Many technical improvements, bug fixes, and new architectures have  
    been collaborated and work continues with an average of 6 and  
    sometimes as many as a dozen pull requests merged per day.  
  * We have listened to the valuable feedback received during our  
    previous releases and continue to improve our documentation. This can  
    be found at https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/.  
  * We've implemented additional automatic checks on PRs.  This has  
    helped us to improve our review process.

## Pegasus

Pegasus is a distributed key-value storage system which is designed to be
simple, horizontally scalable, strongly consistent and high-performance.

Pegasus has been incubating since 2020-06-28.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Attract more contributors and committers.
  2. Make more releases in ASF policy regularly.
  3. Resolve the license problems.

### 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?

We have recently attracted a new contributor empiredan, who have merged 2 PRs until now. 

### How has the project developed since the last report?

We are still actively working towards the next big release, which may be called 2.2.0.
We have open-sourced 3 subprojects that were temporarily maintained outside the Apache orgnization:

- https://github.com/pegasus-kv/admin-cli
- https://github.com/pegasus-kv/pegic
- https://github.com/pegasus-kv/meta-proxy

Those are tiny tools but also considered as very important complement to the Pegasus ecosystem.
`pegic` and `meta-proxy` are still in the initial stage. Developing under the "pegasus-kv" orgnization gets us full control of the Github settings so that we can move faster.
`admin-cli` is nearly completed and license-cleared and will soon be migrated to Apache.
The three projects will all eventually be moved to Apache.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
  Justin Mclean: I like to see some explanation on why the sub-projects
  are being maintained outside of the project. There are branding and
  trademark issues and it may be best to consider moving them in-house.
  Also please list 3 unfinished issues that you still need to do to graduate.

  Justin Mclean: Thanks for the explanation, if might be better if you you worked with Infra
  on the GitHub settings, developing code outside the ASF is likely to cause
  a number of issues in the future when the code is moved.

## TubeMQ

TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.

TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1.Adjust project goal && project name
  2.Keep growing the community, attract more contributors and committers
  3.Release Apache standard releases regularly

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
We hope more IPMCs will pay attention to our project and give more suggestions.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
Since the last report, the TubeMQ community has continued to improve its functions 
as well as external publicity and communication; at the same time, we PPMCs conducted 
a discussion on adjusting project objectives and project names.
We hope to provide a complete one-stop streaming data service platform: the system 
integrates a series of components in the form of plug-ins for collection, aggregation, 
storage and forwarding to build a complete data reporting service; based on this platform, 
users only need to publish and subscribe to data, and they can easily build analysis and 
applications based on streaming data; and TubeMQ will continue to develop in this project.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
At this stage, we released the SDK of the Python language and the tubemq-manager module for 
cluster management. The tubemq-manager module is used for cross-cluster control to make 
the project more usable; we have also made a number of improvements in the function of the project, 
for details information, please refer to our project issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/TUBEMQ/issues.

## Wayang

Wayang is a cross-platform data processing system that aims at decoupling
the business logic of data analytics applications from concrete data
processing platforms, such as Apache Flink or Apache Spark. Hence, it tames
the complexity that arises from the "Cambrian explosion" of novel data
processing platforms that we currently witness.

Wayang has been incubating since 2020-12-16.
