In September, podlings executed 9 distinct releases. We added one IPMC members and none retired. There was one IP clearance in September. IoTDB graduated last month. This month we were missing reports from Livy, S2Graph, SDAP, Warble and Weex. S2Graph, SDAP, Warble and Weex have all failed to report for several months, and the podlings will be contacted to see about retirement. For the third month, we've also seen more podlings needing to ask mentors and IPMC members to vote on releases. This may be a result of the current pandemic situation or a lack of mentor engagement or both, and it's hard to know for sure. MXNet progress on resolving issues is still slow, conversation with NVIDIA about changing the licensing terms also seem to have stalled, and they didn't meet their self imposed deadline to resolve the issue. What to do about this was discussed by the IPMC. TVM made another release and is again proposing to graduate. There are also graduation discussions around Flagon and Superset. Progress on the policy changes to distributing releases on various platforms has been made and documented on the Incubator web site. All podlings notified of these new guidelines. The Apache Training project gave commit rights to all Apache committers. The incubator organised a track for Apache@home conference and gave several talks. The talks have been recorded and posted on the ASF youtube channel. Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases and graduations. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - Keiichi Fujino ### People who left the IPMC: - None ## New Podlings - Hop ## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month ## Graduations - IoTDB The board has motions for the following: - Superset? ## Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of September: ## IP Clearance - Apache Cassandra Harry ## Legal / Trademarks - MXNet legal issues still unresolved ## Infrastructure - N/A ## Miscellaneous - N/A ## Table of Contents [AGE](#age) [APISIX](#apisix) [BlueMarlin](#bluemarlin) [DLab](#dlab) [Flagon](#flagon) [Gobblin](#gobblin) [Liminal](#liminal) [MXNet](#mxnet) [NuttX](#nuttx) [Pegasus](#pegasus) [Pony Mail](#ponymail) [Sedona](#sedona) [Teaclave](#teaclave) [TubeMQ](#tubemq) [TVM](#tvm) [YuniKorn](#yunikorn) -------------------- ## AnnotatorAGE AnnotatorAGE providesis annotationa enablingmulti-model codedatabase forthat browsers,enables servers,graph and humans relational models built on PostgreSQL.

Address licensing and trademark issues for the binary releases in the community. - ONGOING. See update in the next section. 2. Address release issues. Successfully and smoothly make releases without WIP disclaimer. - ONGOING. 3. Improve development process and tooling to help reduce the overhead of releases - ONGOING. ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? 1. The community continues to work towards resolving license and branding issues. See summary below. 2. MXNet 2.0 first public beta, interoperable with NumPy, is on the way: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/projects/18 RFC: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/16167 3. We are adopting Github Discussions https://github.com/apache/mxnet/discussions in favor of Discourse forum for closer connection between users and developers. https://discuss.mxnet.apache.org/ (previously discuss.mxnet.io) will serve as an archive for past user discussions. #### Status on license and branding issues The PPMC continues to make progress in resolving license and branding issues. During the a recent release vote on 1.7.0, with the help from Justin, a few more source distribution and branding issues were found. Here is the status on the issues, tracked in INCUBATOR-253. As of now, the PPMC resolved 15 issues, with 9 still left. Most of the outstanding issues hinge on one key outstanding question, which is whether the components in MXNet that are produced by CUDA NVCC constitutes Category X code. PPMC member employed by Nvidia helped connect Nvidia's representatives including Michael O'Connor, Director of Deep Learning, who have been supportive in the efforts of clarification. Progress is tracked in LEGAL-516. At the moment, NVIDIA's legal is actively exploring options on resolving this issue. Michael requested extension with MXNet PPMC to not treat the related component as Category-X and delay actions until Oct. board meeting. Also, we discoveredd that there was confusion around MXNet's status around integration with Intel products. In MXNet, there has never been public distribution of MXNet where MKL was included. There was an initial inquiry around whether MKL builds can be enabled but was rejected, so this never came into practice. Also, to my knowledge Intel has not produced custom MXNet builds with closed-source components. MXNet 1.7.0 release has completed. So far, PPMC members from Intel (Tao), Nvidia (Dick), and Amazon (Leonard, Henri, Qing, Sheng) have acted to help resolve the issues. Status on open issues since last update: 1. Source and convenance binary releases containing Category X licensed code. (pending) Source code releases by the PPMC do not contain Category X code, no issue. Takedown of binary releases by the PPMC on repository.apache.org is on hold, see item 5. PyPI releases are made by third-party. See item 8. 5. Maven releases containing Category X licensed code. (pending) Takedown of binary releases on repository.apache.org initiated [1]. The scope depends on the resolution of LEGAL-516 [2]. 6. PyPI releases containing Category X licensed code. (pending) There are no official PyPI releases. Whether the third-party releases are compliant with branding guidelines depend on the resolution of LEGAL-516. 7. Docker releases containing Category X licensed code. (pending) There are no official Docker releases. Whether the third-party releases are compliant with branding guidelines depend on the resolution of LEGAL-516. 9. Trademark and branding issues with PyPI and Docker releases. (pending) There are no official PyPI or Docker releases. In addition, as they all contain binary from unmodified MXNet code, whether they are compliant in branding now solely depends on whether they contain Category X licensed code. Refer to item 6, 7. 10. Trademark and brand issues with naming of releases. (pending) There are no binary releases by the PPMC besides the repository.apache.org releases in item 5. 12.

N/A ### How has the community developed since the last report? The community has been active in the past month. We have received emails and Gitter chats from many users. The GitHub repo also received more stars.. However, we notice that, since we close the "Issues" function on GitHub, many users seem not to post questions to JIRA and mailing list. Some of them chose to send emails directly to the committers. We would like to figure out a way to guide the users to the right channel. ### How has the project developed since the last report? Since the last report, we have published our new project website under the Apache domain: http://sedona.apache.org/ We have almost finished our first big PR under the new name, Sedona: https://github.com/apache/incubator-sedona/pull/484 The development progress was kind of blocked by this PR.
