# Incubator PMC report for August 2022  

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.

There are presently 34 podlings incubating. Podlings made 5 distinct releases. The ShenYu graduated last month, and HiveMall is still in the thread for the retirement vote.

This month we were missing reports from Sedona, Toree, PageSpeed, Training, Annotator, Livy, Marvin-AI, Pegasus, Spot, Teaclave, DataLab, EventMesh, Flagon, Milagro, and PonyMail. will be asked to report next month. 
due to not sending E-mail reminders, there are a lot of podlings not submitted.  There was one IP clearance in July.

Successfully ApacheCon Asia, IPMC, and some Podlings shared their stories with the Incubator and the Apache experience.

Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases.
