In May, podlings executed 7 distinct releases, and one IP clearance occurred. Several incubating proposals have been discussed, and we have two new podlings, GeaFlow and Fluss. No projects graduated last month. Apache Fury completed its name change to Apache Fory and is up for graduation this month. Nemo has retired, but a couple of more podlings are in discussion about retiring. A new project, Debo, was discussed, but it's probably too early for graduation. One person was added to the IPMC, and two asked to be removed. Three podlings failed to report and will be asked to report next month. Conversations on the list have been focused on releases, new incubating projects, and mentor involvement. There was also discussion of mentor onboarding and offboarding, and creation of a mentor onboarding document and an update to mentor best practices. Tracking projects that have been incubating for a long time, it looks like the IPMC will retire Annotator, and Toree is slowly moving towards graduation. The Livy PPMC had a positive roll call and is also slowly moving towards graduation. NLPCraft appears to have an inactive PPMC and community, and it would be beneficial to discuss retirement. Training is discussing graduation. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - Ian Maxon ### People who left the IPMC: - Myrle Krantz - Nathan Hartman ## New Podlings - GeaFlow - Fluss ## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month - Annotator - KIE - Ponymail ## Graduations - None The board has motions for the following: - Fory ## Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of June: - Fory 0.11.0 - Fory 0.11.1 - Gluten 1.4.0 - Seata 2.4.0 - Stormcrawler-3.3.0 - Teaclave Trustzone SDK 0.4.0 - XTable 0.3.0 ## IP Clearance - OpenDAL Reqsign ## Legal / Trademarks N/A ## Infrastructure N/A ## Table of Contents [Amoro](#amoro) [BifroMQ](#bifromq) [Burr](#burr) [Fluss](#fluss) [Gluten](#gluten) [Hamilton](#hamilton) [HertzBeat](#hertzbeat) [HugeGraph](#hugegraph) [Iggy](#iggy) [Livy](#livy) [Pegasus](#pegasus) [PouchDB](#pouchdb) [ResilientDB](#resilientdb) [Teaclave](#teaclave) [Texera](#texera) -------------------- ## AnnotatorAmoro Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and humans.

Sometimes, INFRA jira tickets taking more time. Is there a way to expedite the process there? ### How has the community developed since the last report? 1. Discord members count approaching 450, new contributors writing proposals (discussions), submitting PRs for fixing issues, docs, enhancements. 2. Github stars reached 2.7K 3. Crates downloads reached 141K+ 4. Presented at Craft-IT Conference (https://craft-it.pl/#session-216) 5. Scheduled to present at ApacheCon in September ### How has the project developed since the last report? The Iggy project has made significant progress in multiple areas during the reporting period: * *Repository Restructure*: Transitioned the codebase to a monorepo structure to better support modular development across server, client SDKs, connectors, and tooling. * *Connectors Runtime*: Implemented the initial version of the Iggy Connectors Runtime, enabling dynamic loading of source/sink plugins and supporting custom data transformations. * *SDK Migration*: Migrated SDKs for multiple languages including C#, Java, Go, Node.js, Python, and C++ to align with the monorepo architecture and latest server capabilities. * *Web Dashboard*: Migrated the Iggy Web UI dashboard to the new repository structure. * *Benchmarking Platform*: Migrated the benchmarking platform and began preparations to host it under [benchmarks.iggy.apache.org|http://benchmarks.iggy.apache.org]. * *CI Improvements*: Enhanced the CI/CD pipelines to handle multiple languages and projects independently within the monorepo. * *Zero-Copy Support*: Added zero-copy support in the server and integrated recent server changes across all existing SDKs. * *Rust SDK Refactor*: Refactored the Rust SDK into smaller, reusable packages shared between server and client implementations; also updated the Rust edition and dependencies. * *Runtime Refactor (Experimental)*: Published an experimental branch featuring a new runtime architecture based on _io_uring_, thread-per-core model, and shared-nothing design. * *BDD Test Coverage*: Introduced Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) scenarios using Cucumber for validating SDK functionality across multiple languages. * *Benchmarking Enhancements*: Extended the benchmarking CLI with a high-level SDK abstraction, added TLS support, and improved result sharing via unique URLs. * *Website Redesign*: Completed a major website redesign, updated brand assets, and aligned naming conventions with Apache guidelines. * *Release Planning*: Initiated discussions and scoping for the upcoming v0.5.0 release (https://github.com/apache/iggy/discussions/1931) ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Our vision is to develop a system to support cloud platforms on which users can easily analyze data and use AI/ML techniques provided as operators. Users with various backgrounds, irrespective of whether they know coding or not, can collaborate on the same project to construct a pipeline. Experienced users can use programming languages such as Python, R, Java, and Scala to implement customized computation logic. The platform allows users to pause the execution of a workflow to investigate the operator states, and resume the execution at a later time. The platform can be used by a research community to publish valuable resources such as data sets, workflows, and ML models to share their domain-specific knowledge and support reproducibility of scientific research. The platform also allows users to elastically request computing resources from public clouds for computationally-intensive tasks.

Teaclave has been incubating since 2019-08-20. The Teaclave community is now working towards graduation. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Complete all requirements of the Project Maturity Assessment. 2. Practice future releases by adhering to a quarterly release schedule. 3. Conduct a thorough self-assessment to ensure all Apache graduation criteria are met. ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? As the Teaclave community works toward graduation, we welcome guidance along the process. We also invite any active IPMC members interested in the project to consider becoming mentors. Thank you. ### How has the community developed since the last report? - We have a new mentor joining the project. - We have a new participant contributing to the project. - We have a new release manager working on the Teaclave TrustZone SDK v0.5.0 release. ### How has the project developed since the last report? - Initiated releasing Teaclave TrustZone SDK v0.5.0, pending for collecting binding votes in the general incubator mailing list. - Working on the Teaclave Maturity Assessment. During the assessment, we identified several areas for improvement, including the website page and repository reorganization. Work is in progress to address these and meet all requirements. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

We have faced challenges with slow release cycles, partly due to the limited number of binding votes from mentors. To address this, we have invited new mentors to join the community and are actively engaging with contributors to ensure smoother release processes. We have also reached out to existing mentors and received positive responses and renewed support. We plan to continue this proactive approach in future releases to ensure timely and successful outcomes. ### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
