 ## Cloudberry
Cloudberry Database, built on the latest PostgreSQL kernel,
is one of the most advanced and mature open-source MPP (Massively Parallel
Processing) databases available.

Cloudberry has been incubating since 2024-10-11.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
are currently 36 podlings incubating. In April, podlings executed 
four distinct releases, and no IP clearances occurred. Several incubating 
proposals have been discussed on the mailing list, and we have three 
podlings called BifroMQ, Hamilton and PouchDB. The discussion around 
SAFplus found some licensing and activity issues, and it's unlikely to be 
accepted as an incubating project. Two people were added to the IPMC.

No podlings have retired, but a couple are talking about it. A few podlings 
failed to report and will be asked to report next month.

Conversations on the list have been chiefly about releases and new 
incubating projects. The discussion to perform name searches early at the 
start of the incubator process continued. This originally came up as a 
podling Fury needing to change its name close to graduation.

Several projects have been incubating for a long time. Toree looks to be 
starting that process. Annotator has not replied and has failed to report 
again this month. Livy is discussing what to do slowly. NLPCraft also 
failed to report this month, and a roll call sent two weeks ago has 
received no response.

There was also a discussion on selecting which reporting group a podling 
goes in.

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

We are currently working towardNo.

### How has the graduationcommunity ofdeveloped DevLake,since butthe we’re concerned that the recent drop in contribution metrics (e.g., number of commits) might not meet the graduation criteria.

At this stage, DevLake is in a stable phase. Over the past few months, our focus has shifted primarily to bug fixes and maintenance, rather than the development of new features—hence the decline in contribution statistics.

That said, our community remains active. You'll find ongoing engagement in our Slack workspace, especially in the #questions channel, where committers and PPMC members continue to support users.

We’d really appreciate your guidance on what we should prioritize or pay special attention to during this maintenance-focused phase to ensure we remain on track for graduation.


### How has the community developed since the last report?
  1. 13 new contributors have joined the community (194 contributors in total)
  2. 103 new community members in Slack (1561 in total)


### How has the project developed since the last report? 
  1. Introduce a new QA domain to DevLake, allowing users to integrate with the test data.
  2. Bug fixes and UX refinement.
  3. Initiate the releasing process for a new ASF version 'v1.0.2-rc1'.

	 Comments:  for sharing your concern about graduation and 
     activity. If it's a "temporary" reduce of activity, it's not a problem, and
     not a blocker for graduation. If this lower activity is related to change
     in the community, that's a good point to share. I would say that the
     maturity matrix is also welcome to evaluate graduation.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:    

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

## Otava

Apache Otava (incubating) performs statistical analysis of performance test results stored in CSV files, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, or Graphite database. It finds change-points and notifies about possible performance regressions.

A typical use-case of otava is as follows:

* A set of performance tests is scheduled repeatedly, such as after each commit is pushed.
* The resulting metrics of the test runs are stored in a time series database (Graphite) or appended to CSV files.
* Otava is launched by a Jenkins/Cron job (or an operator) to analyze the recorded metrics regularly.
* Otava notifies about significant changes in recorded metrics by outputting text reports or sending Slack notifications.
* Otava is capable of finding even small, but persistent shifts in metric values, despite noise in data. It adapts automatically to the level of noise in data and tries to notify only about persistent, statistically significant changes, be it in the system under test or in the environment.

 Otava has been incubating since 2024-11-27. Otava entered Incubation as Hunter.
The project name Otava was approved by VP Brand 2025-02-09.


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

  1. Publish the first release under the new name. (https://github.com/apache/otava/issues/51) The first release was under voting as the deadline to submit this report to the Incubator PMC passed.
  2. Publish the existence of Apache Otava (Incubating), and our first release.
  3. Nurture a growing community that includes also new members/contributors that have not used Otava (Hunter) before we joined Apache Incubator
  4. Make more releases. In particular, the first release intentionally is not that different from what already existed before we became an Incubator project. It is merely a change of project name and ownership (ASF) and the license, and a re-union of many forks into a clear upstream project. For future releases we hope to modernize python version, build tooling, and of course add new features and integrations.

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

Nothing is blocking us now.

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

We recently accepted the first (documentation) contribution from a user who does not belong to the pre-ASF group of Otava users and contributors. A handful of more people submitted issues or sent an email to the mailing list. This level of attention is already more than we are used to receiving during the previous 8 years developing this code base.

The interactions we had, were mostly held back by the fact we have not yet made our first release, and that until then, Otava only supported python 3.8, which is no longer officially supported. We expect interest in the project to increase after the first release (as ASF incubating project) and upgrading python version. (The release will include support for python 3.9 and 3.10 and will likely happen within hours after

### How has to the projectIncubator developedPMC sincepassed.
 the last report?

The last  time we submitted a report was in February 2025. 

We apologize for twice failing to submit a report. There seems to still be teething issues with basic project governance tasks and responsibilities. We know we can do better, there's just a lot to absorb when becoming a proper ASF project for the first time.

Shortly after our previous report, a new name "Otava" was approved for the project. Otava is the Finnish name for the "Big Bear" constellation, one of the largest and brightest star constellations in the Northern night sky. Otava historically had an important function in navigating, as it was commonly used to find the North Star, which is at the other end of a straight line drawn from the right most 2 stars in Otava.

Most work in the project since then was to

* Change the project name across ASF infrastructure
* Change the project name everywhere in code and documentation. This includes file names, executable names and tar file name.
* Publish a project website at otava.apache.org
* As this report was submitted, our first release was undergoing voting on the incubator general mailing list.

So far, the initial committers and PPMC members were those listed in the initial proposal.

Some of those, haven't actually showed up in the incubator project now that we are active.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Yes!

Submitting this report is a routine we need to get more accustomed to doing.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

Not an issue yet, as the name is new.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:



-------------------- 
## Toree

Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
access Apache Spark.

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, Nothing much of news from previous report

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

  Slow activity with discussions about 0.6 release before incorporating 
  Scala 2.13 support

  Release activity started

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

  Few prs around Scala 2.13 and other small enhancements
  Updates to remove Google Analytics from website 2. Publish the existence of Apache Otava (Incubating), and our first 
  release.
  3. Nurture a growing community that includes also new 
  members/contributors that have not used Otava (Hunter) before we joined
  Apache Incubator
  4. Make more releases. In particular, the first release intentionally is 
  not that different from what already existed before we became an Incubator
  project. It is merely a change of project name and ownership (ASF) and the
  license, and a re-union of many forks into a clear upstream project. For
  future releases we hope to modernize python version, build tooling, and of
  course add new features and integrations.

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

  Nothing is blocking us now.

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

  We recently accepted the first (documentation) contribution from a user who
  does not belong to the pre-ASF group of Otava users and contributors. A
  handful of more people submitted issues or sent an email to the mailing
  list. This level of attention is already more than we are used to receiving
  during the previous 8 years developing this code base.

  The interactions we had, were mostly held back by the fact we have not yet
  made our first release, and that until then, Otava only supported python
  3.8, which is no longer officially supported. We expect interest in the
  project to increase after the first release (as ASF incubating project) and
  upgrading python version. (The release will include support for python 3.9
  and 3.10 and will likely happen within hours after the deadline to submit
  this report.

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

  The last time we submitted a report was in February 2025.

  We apologize for twice failing to submit a report. There seems to still be
  teething issues with basic project governance tasks and responsibilities.
  We know we can do better, there's just a lot to absorb when becoming a
  proper ASF project for the first time.

  Shortly after our previous report, a new name "Otava" was approved for the
  project. Otava is the Finnish name for the "Big Bear" constellation, one of
  the largest and brightest star constellations in the Northern night sky.
  Otava historically had an important function in navigating, as it was
  commonly used to find the North Star, which is at the other end of a
  straight line drawn from the right most 2 stars in Otava.

  Most work in the project since then was to

  * Change the project name across ASF infrastructure
  * Change the project name everywhere in code and documentation. This
  includes file names, executable names and tar file name.
  * Publish a project website at otava.apache.org
  * As this report was submitted, our first release was undergoing voting on
  the incubator general mailing list.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

  A self review based on
  https://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html
  * Code 3/5
  * Licenses and Copyright: 5/5
  * Releases: 4/5
  * Quality: 5/5
  * Community: 7/7
  * Consensus: 4/5 (Missing: CS10)
  * Independence: 2/2
  * Brand: 4/4

### Date of last release:

  The first release was happening as this report was submitted

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

  So far, the initial committers and PPMC members were those listed in the
  initial proposal.

  Some of those, haven't actually showed up in the incubator project now that
  we are active.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

  Yes!

  Submitting this report is a routine we need to get more accustomed to doing.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

  Not an issue yet, as the name is new.

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

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
  Yes, our mentors have been helpful and responsive overall. However for the
  licensing of new bundled jars, there's conflicting interpretations of the
  ASF documentation between the dev vote, the general incubator vote. We
  would benefit from additional guidance and support specifically on
  resolving these licensing issues for bundled jars and "what content" to
  write in LICENSE/NOTICE files.  

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
  Yes
