# Incubator PMC report for July 2022

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 35 podlings incubating. Podlings made 4 distinct 
releases. The Crail project retired, Doris and InLong graduated last month, 
and Uniffle has joined the Incubator.

HiveMall started a retirement vote.

This month we were missing reports from Annotator, Livy, Marvin-AI, 
Pegasus, Spot, and Teaclave. Spot, MarvinAI and Livy have missed more than 

TODO add narrativeone report in a row and roll calls will be held. DataLab, EventMesh, 
Flagon, Milagro and PonyMail don't have mentors' signoff and will also be 
asked to report next month. Shenyu also missed a report but is up for 
graduation. PonyMail has only one mentor and had twice missed signoff.

MXNet is working on some branding issues.

We discussed last year whether Livy was graduating or retiring, and the 
community has shown some interest in continuing, but there continues to be 
no activity.
There was a discussion about a retired project Ambari coming back to the 
Incubator. As several ASF members were involved, it wasn't seen as being 
needed, and it could go straight to being a top level project with the 
approval of the board.

During the graduation discussion on Shenyu, several minor branding issues 
were identified and corrected.

Several podlings have had talks accepted for both ApacheCon Asia and NA, 
and we also have the Incubator track at ApachCon NA.
