# Incubator PMC report for April 2023

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and 
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.

Marvin-AI hasThere retired,are and
presently PageSpeed29 andpodlings Spotincubating. haveIn completedMarch, 
thepodlings votingexecuted process4 fordistinct retirement
releases.

The versionWe releaseadded of2 Podlingsnew stillIPMC needsmembers, toFlagon beand checkedEvent byMesh Mentorgraduated, and 
IPMC to prevent errors in the statistics of binding votes.

Justin has a pretty good idea. He made a small game about Incuabtor. 
Maybe some ASF rules can be integrated into these small games to 
help podlings learn Apache Way.  

Some podlings participated in GSoC. 

Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases.  TODO add narrative

## Community

no new podlings have been added, but a couple are under discussion.
IPMC cleaned up some podlings that are no longer active, Marvin-AI has 
retired, and PageSpeed and Spot have completed the voting process for 
retirement.
The release of Teaclave had some issues, including category X licensed code 
and compiled code in the source release. This has been pointed out to them 
before.
SeaTunnel is discussing graduation, and some minor issues were identified, 
including reliance on off-list ephemeral communication.
Some podlings are participating in GSoC, and this should further promote 
community development.
Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases.

## Training 

The Training project aims to develop resources which can be used for 
training purposes in various media formats, languages and for various 
Apache and non-Apache target projects.
Training has been incubating since 2019-02-21.

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

  Improve the community participation (other Apache projects should 
actively be linked to this project, since they "have the content")
  (Re)define the short-, mid-, and long-term goals of the project.
  Select an approach to handle non coding / non document related tasks 
(e.g., community related activities on events)
  Create a strategy how this projects contributes to or is supported by 
other Apache projects
  Create a tutorial on how the tools provided by this project can be used 
to create own content
  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.

  It also needs 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.

early on.

  Initial setup of the project’s structure: Goals and strategy needs 
refinement.
  Working towards first release: What type of artifacts 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.

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

  November 2020

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

  Mentors have been responsive 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.
