### IPMC/Shepherd notes:are presently 43 podlings incubating. In May, podlings executed nine 
distinct releases. We added one new IPMC members and three retired.

There was one IP clearance in May. There are still two new podlings under 
discussion or VOTE, and they are HBlock and Pegasus. Two projects, Hudi and 
Iceberg, graduated last month. 

At least one podling is heading towards graduation in this or the next 
board report, the next one to graduate is likely to be APISIX. This month 
we were missing reports from Liminal, Spot, Hivemall and Warble. Liminal and 
Spot asked to report next month. Hivemall and Warble didn't report and will 
be asked to report next month.

It was found that the MXNet podling's releases and download page were not 
in line with ASF release and distribution policy. The project had been 
distributing releases with Category X code and distributing unreleased 
code. There has been a lengthy discussion both on legal-dicusss and the 
incubator general list on this. The project has taken some small steps to 
correct the issues but seems to be hesitant to do so and currently. These 
issues are still publically unresolved. The Incubator PMC may need to take 
further action on this.

A couple of established podlings seem to be having trouble following the 
correct process for adding PPMC members. It's not clear why this is the 
case as the process is well documented and simple.

Huddi graduated, but there was a small issue with its proposed PMC list 
that was corrected. Iceberg also graduated, there was some discussion about 
some issues with its license and notice files in its releases.

A couple of mentors have been added and removed from projects. Most on list 
traffic was around releases and graduations.

Two podlings SDAP and Spot still need to sort out their roster and private 
mailing list subscriptions.

## Crail

Crail is a storage platform for sharing performance critical data in
distributed data processing jobs at very high speed.

Crail has been incubating since 2017-11-01.

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

  1. Grow developers community
  2. Grow Crail use base
  3. More steady release cycle

### 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?

  We see increasing traffic on the dev mailing list from
  Crail users. A recent proposal from Adrian to add elastic
  scaling got positive feedback from other committers.

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

  Crail went through a phase of limited visible activities on
  the code base. It is critical the Crail developers
  community resumes to be more active to keep the project
  making decent progress. Using Crail as an ephemeral data
  store for serverless computing emerges as a very suitable
  use case. Pushing this forward, aiming at inclusion
  in a next release is of common interest among the
  committersAGE

## StreamPipes

  StreamPipes is a self-service (Industrial) IoT toolbox to enable non-
  technical users to connect, analyze and explore (Industrial) IoT data
  streams.

  StreamPipes has been incubating since 2019-11-11.

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

  1. Multiple Apache releases
  2. Grow the developer community
  3. Attract more users

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

  There are no issues right now.

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

  In the past three months, the community developed rather well: New users
  appeared on the mailing lists, and we were able to elect the first
  external committers. The mailing list activity has increased and many 
  discussions on development-related tasks were done on the developer 
  mailing list. Overall, we feel that the community is more and more 
  following the Apache way.

  Some specific community development activities include:
  - We updated the wiki with developer information, getting started guides
    and step-by-step manuals for release management (see
    https://s.apache.org/ocz7t)
  - Updated website to include better overview of existing pipeline elements
  - Intensified work with manufacturing company to use StreamPipes for IIoT
    analytics
  - We published a blog post on how to run StreamPipes on Kubernetes, we now
    plan to publish blog posts at regular intervals
  - Added "communication channels & strategy" page in the wiki and gathered
    potential communication channels in close exchange with our mentors
    planning to intensify community growth
  - Took part in webinar series about open source for small and medium 
    sized companies (video on YouTube, currently only in German)
  - Number of Twitter followers increased (last report: 103, currently: 128)
  - Number of Github stars increased (last report: 109, currently: 144)

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

  - We successfully released our first official Apache release (version
    0.66.0) including several improvements (see release notes
    https://s.apache.org/2grsk), to name the most prominent changes:
    completely new dashboard and notification design in UI, more pipeline 
    elements and improved connectors  
  - Many new pipeline elements have been added by newly elected committers
  - Both documentation and website were improved in order to increase the
    adoption of Apache StreamPipes and grow the user base

  In the next month, we plan to add better support for edge computing and
  improve the UI.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

  Our mentors provided very good support in preparing and performing our
  first Apache release. We would like to thank them for very helpful advice,
  also for some licensing questions we had on the list.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
 
  Yes, we started to prepare a wiki page to develop a communication
  strategy, which also includes brand management. The next step is to 
  create a new logo that will be voted on by the community. We are 
  constantly monitoring the usage of the Apache StreamPipes name in 
  external websites and posts.

    (He has access to someone's preexisting account. Issue remains open)
  * There was an open question about if/how steps for onboarding
    committers might be streamlined and/or automated. Any advice 
    on that front is welcomed, as the process is seemingly error prone.
    Sorry for any confusing missteps as we continue to learn to navigate 
  this.
  * Asked about Bogdan Kyryliuk's process, no answer
  * Generally experencing glitches when onboarding committers & PMCs

  Other interactions of note:
  * We have a new mentor! Welcome to the team, Jim Jagielski!
