We have launched a new project called Oay (OpenDAL Gateway). By providing a native gateway, we empower users to access different storage through the same API.

We have also participated in open-source community activities. We are excited to be part of the Open Source Promotion Plan (OSPP) 2023, a summer program that encourages students to contribute to open-source projects.

We have improved our documentation for new users and developers and set up a fast development environment to make it easier for them to use and contribute.

In the past month, we have welcomed 26 new contributors, bringing the total number to 86.  

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

- Core:  We have added support for several new services and made improvements to performance and usability.
