The VP, Brand has approved the project name. ### Signed-off-by: - [ ] (celeborn) Becket QinThere are presently 24 podlings incubating. This month we were missing a report from Liminal, which was also missed the previous month. There were no graduations and no new proposals to the board for graduation, although a couple were discussed. Tuweni voted to retire, as did DataLab, despite discussing it becoming a TLP the month before. ASF Marketing & Publicity have updated the Podling Publicity/Media Guidelines. The Wayang podling mistakenly made a release without involving the IPMC. None of the mentors signed off the Devlake, NLPCraft, OpenDAL or Streampark reports. There was one IP clearance and podlings executed 8 distinct releases. Discussion on the general list has been chiefly about podling releases. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - Matthew de Detrich ### 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 July: - Celeborn 0.3.0 - Devlake 0.17.0 - OpenDAL 0.38.0 - OpenDAL 0.38.1 - Pekko 1.0.0 - Pekko 1.0.1 - Uniffle 0.7.1 - Wayang 0.7.0 ## IP Clearance - Pekko HTTP CORS code donation ## Legal / Trademarks - N/A ## Infrastructure - N/A ## Miscellaneous - N/A ## Table of Contents [Annotator](#annotator) [Celeborn](#celeborn) [DevLake](#devlake) [NLPCraft](#nlpcraft) [OpenDAL](#opendal) [Paimon](#paimon) [PonyMail](#ponymail) [SDAP](#sdap) [StreamPark](#streampark) [Toree](#toree) [Training](#training) -------------------- ## Annotator Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and humans.

Release a 1.0 ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? We need advice from the IPMC (or our mentors) about our future.

Not at all. ### How has the project developed since the last report? Also no real progress. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Increase active contributors ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? None ### How has the community developed since the last report? The community is working on wrapping up support for recent versions of Apache Spark that has moved to use Scala 2.13. We still see much of the users asking questions in the gitter channel rather than using the mailing lists. There is also a discussion started around retirement process, and discussion is happening on the dev list. ### How has the project developed since the last report? We need to wrap up the new Toree release supporting Spark with Scala 2.13 ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Training has been incubating since 2019-02-21. In June 2023, we started adjusting the 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. 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. Select an approach to handle non coding / non document related tasks (e.g., community related activities on events) 4. Create a strategy how this projects contributes to or is supported by other Apache projects 5. Create a tutorial on how the tools provided by this project can be used to create own content 6. Review current policies around contribution review and releases to find a pragmatic compromise ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? The Training Project needs more contribution from other Apache projects, hence a clear communication strategy for interlinking existing projects with the Apache Training project is needed. We need feedback from other Apache projects on the presentations and trainings developed till now. In order to improve this collaboration we suggest to investigate the status of other project’s documentation in a systematic approach, especially with an eye on available training related material. ### How has the community developed since the last report? no changes ### How has the project developed since the last report? Initial discussion regarding usage of content created/delivered by LLMs has been started. In July, a first documentation inspection and fact extraction tool (Python script) has been provided. A pull request is open: https://github.com/apache/incubator-training/pull/87. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary. Initial setup oft he project’s structure: Goals and strategy needs refinement. Working towards first release: What type of artefacts to release is not clear, due to unclear goals and strategy. Community building: The community exists of a very small number of people but is more or less invisible, as of today (April 2023). Nearing graduation: Currently, we are far away from graduation. ### Date of last release: XXXX-XX-XX ### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected? November 2020 ### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive? Mentors have been responsive? Are things falling through the cracks? If so, please list any open issues that need to be addressed. ### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks? Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name? 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. ### Signed-off-by: - [ X] (training) Craig Russell Comments: Happy to see new activity here. - [ X] (training) Christofer Dutz Comments: It seems that finally a bit of life has been coming back to the project, I'll continue my best to help with that staying that way. - [ X] (training) Justin Mclean Comments: - [ ] (training) Lars Francke Comments: ### IPMC/Shepherd notes: |
