## OpenDAL

Open Data Access Layer: Access data freely, painlessly, and efficiently.

OpenDAL has been incubating since 2023-02-27.

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

OpenDAL has now been adopted by llama-hub to provide support for cloud object storage services. Additionally, we have noticed that a command-line tool called dilu has been using OpenDAL. We are also planning to provide webhdfs support for object store in the near future.

In the past month, we have had close to 20 new contributors and elected two new committers. 

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

- Core: We are now pushing for support for copy/rename.
- Cli: The implementation of the oli command-line tool is still ongoing, and we support configuration files and some common operations such as `ls` and `cat`.
- Bindings: We now have a basic Ruby binding implementation, and further improvements have been made to Python and Node.js bindings.

## Pekko

Pekko is a toolkit and an ecosystem for building highly concurrent,
distributed, reactive and resilient applications for Java and Scala.

Pekko has been incubating since 2022-10-24.

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

  1. Complete the work on updating the file headers and docs to reflect the new branding and licensing.  
  2. Get the core web site and documentation up.  
  3. Get a milestone release done - at least for the core modules. This would facilitate the wider OSS community. We would hope that other OSS projects that currently support Akka would look to also support Apache Pekko.  

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

Nothing of note

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

We recently added a new committer (Arnout Engelen).
