### IPMC/Shepherd notes:


--------------------

## Cloudberry

Cloudberry is an advanced and mature open-source Massively Parallel
Processing (MPP) database, derived from the open-source version of
Pivotal Greenplum Database®️ but built on a more modern PostgreSQL 14
kernel, whereas Greenplum is based on PostgreSQL 12. This upgrade
brings enhanced enterprise capabilities, making Cloudberry well-suited
for data warehousing, large-scale analytics, and AI/ML workloads.

Cloudberry has been incubating since 2024-10-11.

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

1. Complete the source code cleanup to ensure ASF compliance.  
2. Publish the first Apache release following ASF release processes.  
3. Expand the contributor base and community engagement to ensure long-term sustainability.  

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
- Mailing List Activity: 63 messages on the Dev mailing list in Feb 2025, covering technical discussions and roadmap planning.
- Slack Activity: 8 new threads on the `#general` channel, though no new users joined.
- GitHub Discussions: 27 new discussions since Cloudberry entered incubation in October 2024, reflecting engagement on technical topics and project direction.  
- Outreach & Advocacy:
  - Promoted Cloudberry ecosystem updates (e.g., DBeaver and WAL-G support).
  - Encouraged community members to submit conference sessions.
  - Meetup: A Cloudberry Meetup hosted by HashData in Shanghai attracted 40+ attendees.

four distinct releases, and one IP clearance occurred. Several
incubating proposals have been discussed on the mailing list, and we have 
one podling called Iggy. No podlings have retired, but a couple are talking 
about it.
Baremaps, Gravitin, Toree and Training are close to graduation. A few
podlings failed to report and will be asked to report next month.

Conversations on the list have been chiefly about releases. There was a 
conversation about performing trademark name searches early at the start of 
the incubator process to ensure that polling names are not rejected close 
to graduation.

A few podlings needed to update their data files to indicate that they had 
graduated.

There is ongoing discussion on several new potential incubating projects, 
and we have four proposals being worked on.

Baremaps has been incubating since 2022-10-10.

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

  1. Reviewing compliance with Apache standards.
  2. Expanding the community.
  3. Making releases.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

  No.

### How has the projectcommunity developed since the last report?
- Codebase Updates:
  -Since Integratedthe keyDecember contributionsrelease fromin the open-source Greenplum project while aligning them with Cloudberry’s roadmap.
  - Ongoing source code cleanup to ensure ASF compliance and prepare for the first official release.
- Continuous Integration & Testing:
  - CI is now in place for the Rocky Linux 9 platform.
  - Testing has been extensively expanded since incubation, covering all PRs and main branch submissions.
  - GitHub Actions Workflows leverage automated builds for required resources (e.g., Docker containers).
  - The developer community has played a key role in shaping the CI and development processes, contributing feedback, enhancements, and best practices.
  - We have adopted an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) methodology to manage CI resources efficiently.
- Potential Integration of Apache MADlib:
  - There has been discussion within the community about potentially incorporating Apache MADlib into Cloudberry.
  - Current interest appears to be low, but we will hold an official vote on this topic soon to determine the next steps.
- Documentation Improvements:
  - Added and updated technical documentation to improve onboarding for new users and contributors.

     Comments: Project is indeed near graduation. I recommend that
       they start graduation discussions on dev@.
       My takeaway from the recent release is diversity of
       contributors; 12 issues fixed by 6 contributors is an
       indication that the project is becoming more broad-based.

## OpenServerless

OpenServerless is an open source, cloud-agnostic, serverless platform. It
offers a complete environment for serverless applications development, based
on Kubernetes. With Apache OpenWhisk as its FaaS engine, it provides an
unified developer experience with a plethora of services (SQL or noSQL
databases, key-value stores, object storage, LLMs services, function
schedulers) managed by the platform's core: the operator, along with tooling
(the CLI) to simplify (and interact with) deployments, integrated ide and
starter application and optimized runtimes integrated with the staters.

## Polaris

Polaris is a catalog for data lakes. It provides new levels of choice,
flexibility and control over data, with full enterprise security and Apache
Iceberg interoperability across a multitude of engines and infrastructure.

Polaris has been incubating since 2024-08-09.

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

  1. Prepare 1.0.0 release including binary distribution
  2. Grow the community

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

No

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

Regarding the users community:
- on Slack (#general channel), in February, we had questions from 11 new users, evaluating Polaris. These users are not active on the dev mailing list (only Slack).
- on GitHub Issues, in February, we had 2 new issues created by non committers users, and non affiliated to initial committed companies. Some users are the same active on Slack (for instance https://github.com/apache/polaris/issues/996)

Regarding the contributors community:
- in February, we had 7 PRs from 5 new contributors (individual contributors, not affiliated to companies already active in Polaris)
- in February, we had several GitHub issues and PRs created by 3 new contributors from Snowflake and a new contributor from Dremio.

In February, we had several Community Meetings (recorded and shared on the dev mailing list and website):
- 2 Polaris Community Meetings
- Discussion about the Policy Management proposal
- Discussion about Polaris Persistence improvement proposal

On these meetings, we were pleased to see several new people (around 15 people show up for the first time in February).

We continue to promote Polaris in order to grow our community. We strongly believe 1.0.0 release (with the binary distributions) will help to grow even faster our community.

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

0.9.0 have been released. This release is the first one on the project, only including source distribution.
We are now working on 1.0.0 release that will include binary distributions.

We published a roadmap proposal (https://github.com/apache/polaris/discussions/1028), and we added a 1.0-blocker label on GH Issues.

In February, we had 3 new proposals in discussion (relayed on the dev mailing list):
- Persistence layer improvement (https://github.com/apache/polaris/issues/985)
- Policy Management (https://github.com/apache/polaris/issues/999)
- Generic Table Support (https://github.com/apache/polaris/issues/1048)

We are now focusing on 1.0.0 preparation, including fixes and the persistence layer improvementIPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

  No

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

  1. The Apache OpenServerless and AI course - currently in Italian - is 
     underway: it has involved many people and is a model to be proposed 
     also in English with respect to a larger community.
  2. We're evaluating sessions to support those who need it in the 
     installation of the development environment. 
  3. Finally, we are trying to involve people in the development by 
     proposing them to take charge of some open tasks on GitHub.

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

  1. Closed 8 issues. Opened 3 new issues.
  2. We improved the Kubernetes operator, further optimizing the image 
     size and introducing some new features.
  3. Introduced some new features also in the openserverless-task project.
  4. We improved the stability of the functions that affect the Apache 
     OpenServerlesss IDE

## Wayang  

Apache Wayang is a layered ML framework that connects your applications to 
various data processing platforms,
