### IPMC/Shepherd notes:



--------------------
## Caldera

Caldera provides a modular platform for modeling, scripting, and executing
adversary behavior. It allows users to construct emulation plans, provides
agents for             communicating with the command and control server,
and enables users to evaluate             security detections in a
structured, scalable, and repeatable way. With the use of             plug-
ins and community-contributed features, Caldera supports a range of use
cases             including adversary emulation, purple teaming, detection
engineering, and continuous             security validation. Using Caldera,
defenders can emulate known threat actor behavior             and perform
other red team activity to evaluate their organization’s defensive
capabilities, test analytics, and find detection gaps. As a modular tool
based on the             MITRE ATT&CK framework, Caldera is designed to be
extensible, intelligence-driven,             and automation-friendly.

Caldera has been incubating since 2025-12-19.

## Fluss

Fluss is a streaming storage built for real-time analytics which can serve
as             the real-time data layer for Lakehouse architectures.

Flussof March, there are 28 podlings under incubation and three releases were 
made. There were no additions or removals to IPMC membership.

Mailing list traffic during the month focused on release voting, graduation 
discussions, retirement votes, discussion of a possible xdigest proposal, 
and the Community Over Code Glasgow Incubator track CFP.

Baremaps and HoraeDB have retired as part of normal Incubator lifecycle 
management.

A discussion on the mailing list raised concerns about Caldera's current 
status, including low participation and limited ASF engagement.

Several podlings, including Burr, Fluss, and Geaflow, are undergoing their 
scheduled 6-month reviews.

Livy has started discussions on graduation on its mailing list.

ResilientDB continues to make progress toward graduation, although delays 
in release voting suggest the podling may need to seek additional mentor 
engagement.

Pegasus continues to work on community revitalisation.

Fluss is ready to graduate.

Most other podlings continue to make steady progress toward graduation.

Two podlings, Caldera and Pony Mail failed to submit a report and will be 
asked to report next month. When this was written, Pegasus was missing 
mentor signoff.

     Comments: The podling did a good job in the release, but waiting for a 
     third binding vote on general@. That's not good regarding the effort of the
     podling and very active/responsive podling. We sent reminder on the mailing
     list, but it didn't help yet. I'm a bit concerned by the number of active
     IPMC members recently.
