Datalab has completed a retirement vote, while Liminal still needs to submit the report, and we will take a PPMC roll call. As some inactive projects are retiring, the number of absent reports each month is decreasing. There is a new project, Hexagon Toolkit, seeking a mentor, but the project may have applied too early and needs to do more work on building a community around the project first. IPMC members also provided other useful feedback. Another new project, ResilientDB, a Blockchain Platform, also seeks entry into the incubator. Several IPMC members have expressed interest, and we may see it entering the incubator in the coming months. There has also been some off-list discussion about several other projects that wish to join the ASF via the Incubator. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - None ### People who left the IPMC: - None ## New Podlings - None ## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month - Liminal ## Graduations - None The board has motions for the following: - None. ## Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of August: - pekko-connectors-kafka 1.0.0 - pekko-http 1.0.0 - pekko-management 1.0.0 - pekko-grpc 1.0.0 - pekko-sbt-paradox 1.0.0 - OpenDAL 0.39.0 ## IP Clearance - None ## Legal / Trademarks - None ## Infrastructure - None ## Table of Contents [Baremaps](#baremaps) [KIE](#kie) [Liminal](#liminal) [Nemo](#nemo) [Uniffle](#uniffle) [Wayang](#wayang) -------------------- ## Baremaps Apache Baremaps is a toolkit and a set of infrastructure components for creating, publishing, and operating online maps.
