PageSpeed
PageSpeed represents a series of open source technologies to help make the web faster by rewriting web pages to reduce latency and bandwidth.
PageSpeed has been incubating since 2017-09-30.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
- Produce a release
- Increase the number of active developers
Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
After a series of release candidates, a first incubator release was approved by both the developer group and the IPMC. However, while doing the final release preparation a blocking issue was observed: the scripts that package the product would still point to dl.google.com as a repo source. This is being addressed.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Mailing lists and git issues are active. The number of active developers is steady.
How has the project developed since the last report?
A first WIP incubator release made it through the voting rounds, but needs some small changes to address a blocking issue observed during finalization.

TubeMQ
TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.
TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1.Launch the first Apache release. 2.Make development document more easily to read. 3.Grow the community to involve more contributors and increase the diversity.
Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
None
How has the community developed since the last report?
At this stage, no community activities were initiated, but we internally initiated a vote for the project committer and selected the first committer of the project. I believe this will promote the subsequent development of the project community.
How has the project developed since the last report?
The project is nearing completion of the migration to the Apache incubator: at this stage, we have completed the change of the project's package name, the standardization of file's LICENSE, and the launch of the project home page, but the documentation and project home page content relatively lacking, this part needs to be improved in the next stage.
