## Baremaps

Apache Baremaps is a toolkit and a set of infrastructure components for
creating, publishing, and operating online maps.

Baremaps has been incubating since 2022-10-10.

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

  1. Reviewing compliance with Apache standards.
  2. Expanding the community.
  3. Making releases.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

Several animated discussions allowed us to address licensing issues.
The fact that practices vary widely across top-level projects does not make the process easier.

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

Since the last release in December 2024, there has been an uptick in contributions.
We still struggle with the pace of releases, but the overall involvement seems to be increasing.

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

The last release effectively summarizes the project's development since the previous report.
https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/releases/tag/v0.8.1

More recently, we welcomed three new contributors.
Yongjun Hong contributed issue templates and github actions to facilitate the onboarding of new commers.
Alex Gacon fixed performance issues affecting the latest release.
Rohit Yaduvanshi improved the maven artifacts.

  Yes

## StormCrawler

StormCrawler is a collection of resources for building low-latency,
customisable and scalable web crawlers on Apache Storm.

StormCrawler has been incubating since 2024-03-19.

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

  1. Community building
  2.
  3.

### 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?

StormCrawler remains a rather mature and stable project, continuing to serve its niche effectively. While there isn’t much new to report in terms of major developments, we did have a contributor show up recently and provide some pull requests, which is always a positive sign.

It’s worth noting that, even in the age of AI, the number of people conducting their own large-scale web crawls remains relatively low. Many opt to leverage datasets like Common Crawl rather than setting up and maintaining their own crawling infrastructure. This makes community contributions even more valuable, as StormCrawler continues to be a reliable solution for those who do require custom crawling capabilities.


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

A new release of StormCrawler was made. 

However, one area of concern is the level of engagement among the initial committers. Out of the five original committers, only three have been actively contributing, while the remaining two have shown little to no involvement since the project's incubation. While it's not uncommon to see fluctuations in contributor activity due to shifting priorities and time constraints, this does highlight the need to expand the committer base. Therefore, we are happy that we could add an additional committer and PPMC member since incubation.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

[PJF] Mailing lists show little activity. PPMC is ignoring an important privacy  
issue (TOREE-559). There was discussion in November about a release but nothing  
since. Podling over 9 years old. Maybe time to consider retirement.
