  2. Get a milestone release done - at least for the core modules. This 
  would facilitate the wider OSS community. We would hope that other OSS 
  projects that currently support Akka would look to also support Apache 
  Pekko.
  3. Community Building.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
  Nothing of note

### How has the community developed since the last report?
  Community engagement is pretty low. We're hoping it will pick up if we 
  get a release out.

## Training

The Training project aims to develop resources which can be used for
training purposes in various media formats, languages and for various Apache
and non-Apache target projects.

Training has been incubating since 2019-02-21.

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

  1.
  2.
  3.project goals.
Besides a pure focus on content creation tools we have identified the need 
for two additional aspects:

(1) For ASF processes some documentation exists, e.g. 
https://community.apache.org/contributor-ladder,
but the ASF member journey is still a challenge for many new members, 
especially those with less coding experience.
As a solution it has been suggested to provide training material for the 
following problems: 

* You've just graduated to a TLP. What are the challenges you will now face?
* New committer onboarding
* New PMC member onboarding
* New PMC Chair onboarding
* New board member onboarding

(2) Creation of some general recommendations/guidelines for:
 * managing/validation of training material contributions of arbitrary ASF 
projects has been proposed.

Initial discussion of the topics have been started.

We expand our focus now on the following aspects:

We have to work on strategies to increase the participation and the 
visibility of the project and its goals.
Besides requests for contributions from individual contributors from other 
Apache projects we want to show what the Apache Training project can offer 
to those projects.
We should build on the assumption that synergy and network effects can help 
us to increase the community around training and skill management topics.

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

  1. Improve the community participation (other Apache projects should 
  actively be linked to this project, since they "have the content")
  2. (Re)define the short-, mid-, and long-term goals of the project.
  3. Review current policies around contribution review and releases to 
  find a pragmatic compromise

  someone (Mirko) from the community
  has stepped up in a last effort to revive activities.
  He's written most of the last two or three reports.

  At least one mentor has mentioned that he'd step down if those attempts 
  are not successful.

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

  Activity has started to grow since the last report.
  We again failed to provide the report on time, but this will change soon.

  Two persons joined our conversation on the dev-list (Eric and Rich).

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

  Creation of a ASF onboarding training module has been announced.

  A tool for inspecting documentation in Github repositories (ASF projects)
  which will lead towards automatic training related content extraction has 
  been started.

  PR activity continues on a low level since the last report.

  Mentors have been responsive and helpful when reached out to.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
  The name search process has not yet been started, as there is still time 
  to do that if and when graduation draws nearer.
  The PPMC is actively monitoring usage of the Podlings current name on 
  other sites.
  The Podling is not directly affiliating with any sponsors donating 
  content and presenting an independent image on the webpage.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
  Dave Fisher - this project does not really release software and it looks 
  like it is becoming more of an ASF Member Project.
  I think that since it plans to document process that is more 
  traditionally part of ComDev's mission or related to helping
  projects. I would support either graduating into ComDev or to a TLP as a 
  project similar to Whimsy. I really do not see
  further Incubation to be helpful.
