the Foundation's efforts. There are presently 31 podlings incubating. Podlings made 5 distinct releases. This month we were missing reports from Nemo, PageSpeed, Spot and Training. There are votes underway to retire PageSpeed and Spot and Marvin-AI has retired. Nemo and Training projects will be asked to report next month. The Training project is discussing how to move forward. Flagon and EventMesh have proposals to the board for graduation. Two new podlings Palimon and OpenDAL have joined the Incubator. There is ongoing discussion around a few new projects and the graduation of DataLab. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - Becket Qin - Yu Xiao ### People who left the IPMC: - Jim Jagielski ## New Podlings - OpenDAL - Paimon ## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month |

--------------------
## Baremaps
Apache Baremaps is a toolkit and a set of infrastructure components for
creating, publishing, and operating online maps.
Baremaps has been incubating since 2022-10-10.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Getting the code in compliance with Apache standards
2. Making releases
3. Growing 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? The activity has been low in December and January, but the community has stayed steady. ### How has the project developed since the last report? - We addressed most of the critical licensing issues and identified minor issues with license of the data used in the tests - We improved the layout and the content of the web site - We launched a vote for a first release candidate with a DISCLAIMER-WIP file - Some of us will attend the OGC/OSGeo/ASF code sprint with the intent to work on Baremaps ### How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary. - [ |

Community growth. 2. 3. ### 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? Community development wasn't grown last months. The main reason is probably due to core committers were engaged in a 1.0 release tests,documentatation and website update. But there were some initial developers requests to join and contribute during last months. ### How has the project developed since the last report? The project tests were extended, examples added, documentation and website updated, release 1.0.0. prepared. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

The majority of contributions to the OpenDAL project were made by only four committers, with Xuanwo being the most prolific contributor. 2. The adoption rate of OpenDAL has been relatively low, with only a few projects currently using it. ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? N/A ### How has the community developed since the last report? This is the first report of OpenDAL. Over the past two weeks, the project has successfully attracted four new contributors, one of whom has shown great promise and potential to be considered for committer status in the future. ### How has the project developed since the last report? This is the first report of OpenDAL. During the past two weeks, OpenDAL has added support for the append function and is currently working on developing Python and Node.js bindings. These updates are expected to be included in the upcoming Apache release. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary. |
