# Incubator PMC report for March 2023 The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. There are presently 31 podlings incubating. Podlings made 5 distinct releases. This month we were missing reports from Nemo, PageSpeed, Spot, Toree, and Training. Nemo asked to report next month, but community activity has been low. Marvin-AI has completed the retirement IPMC voting process. There are some podlings that are also in the discussion of retirement, like Spot and PageSpeed. Regarding PonyMail, it should be explained that even though it is difficult for them to build a huge community, since the current PMC is composed of ASF members, and PonyMail also serves as the infrastructure of ASF. Therefore, most IPMC member hope that PonyMail will graduate to gain more brand exposure and further expand the community. Two podlings join the incubator this month: One is OpenDAL, It's a Rust library that helps developers access data freely, painlessly, and efficiently over multiple services, including AWS S3, HDFS, POSIX-compatible file systems, and so on. The other is Paimon, which is a sub-project of Flink, originally (Flink-Table-Store), It's a unified lake storage to build dynamic tables for both streams and batch processing with big data computing engines (Apache Flink, Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Trino, etc.), supporting high-speed data ingestion and real-time data query. Considering that the project is still in its early stages of development, team members prefer to enter the incubator rather than directly as a TLP. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - Becket Qin - Yu Xiao ### People who left the IPMC: - Jim Jagielski ## New Podlings - OpenDAL - Paimon ## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month - Nemo - PageSpeed - Spot - Toree - Training ## Graduations - None The board has motions for the following: - EventMesh - Flagon ## Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of March: - HugeGraph 1.0.0 - Kvrocks 2.3.0 - StreamPark 2.0.0 - DevLake 0.15.0 - NLPCraft 1.0.0 ## IP Clearance - [Kylin]Accept donation of Kylin new Modeling System ## Legal / Trademarks ## Infrastructure ## Miscellaneous ## Credits ## Table of Contents [Baremaps](#baremaps) [KIE](#kie) [NLPCraft](#nlpcraft) [OpenDAL](#opendal) [Uniffle](#uniffle) [Wayang](#wayang) -------------------- ## Baremaps Apache Baremaps is a toolkit and a set of infrastructure components for creating, publishing, and operating online maps.

Question: Can this start before the grant has been finalized? 3. Create a release :) ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? Currently no. ### How has the community developed since the last report? This is our first report. We have a number of people signed up for the PPMC, but seeing as we don't have the code moved over yet, there isn't much else to be done at the moment. ### How has the project developed since the last report? We're working through legal both at IBM and Red Hat. This wasn't as quick as any of us had hoped it would be. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity? - [ ] Initial setup Mailing lists created Initial committers have signed the ICLA - [ ] Working towards first release We'll get there, need the software grant first - [ ] Community building Not much we can do on this front until the code has moved over - [ ] Nearing graduation N/A - [ ] Other: ### Date of last release: N/A ### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected? Back in January when we were accepted into the Incubator ### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive? Brian has been very helpful in getting things started, no concerns about any of the mentors. ### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

Community growth. 2. 3. ### 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? Community development wasn't grown last months. The main reason is probably due to core committers were engaged in a 1.0 release tests,documentatation and website update. But there were some initial developers requests to join and contribute during last months. ### How has the project developed since the last report? The project tests were extended, examples added, documentation and website updated, release 1.0.0. prepared. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
