# Incubator PMC report for May 2024

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 currently 28 podlings incubating. In March, podlings executed 4 
distinct releases and no IP clearances occurred.
Several incubating proposals have been discussed on the mailing list, and 
one podling (SDAP) graduated last month and one retired (Milagro). 5 
podlings, Annotator, Liminal, Teaclave, Toree and Training failed to report 
and will be asked to report next month. Liminal will probably retire.
Some projects are using ScanOSS to check for 3rd party code or AI-generated 
code in the releases.
We discussed and voted to drop the requirement of having the word 
incubating in podling repository names as this reduces the work required in 
graduating, and was a hangover from old infrastructure. Any existing 
incubating project can request this change.
In several release votes, issues were identified with a podling's website, 
and they have been asked to improve them.

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

  This is the first report. The data below is in comparison to when we 
  initially entered the Apache Incubator.
  - The main Seata project has completed API and data compatibility with 
  the original non-Apache package, removed all incompatible licenses, and 
  merged 140 PRs. Regression testing is currently in progress in preparation 
  for the release of the first ASF version.
  - Implemented transaction support for Apache RocketMQ; replaced the 
  original ggEditor framework with the diagram-js framework, completing the 
  new version of the online Saga state machine designer; supports Saga mode 
  Java non-Spring transaction API; supports Raft metadata synchronization; 
  the seata-k8s project has supported for the Seata-Server Raft cluster mode; 
  MockServer, and other features.
  - The Seata official website has been redesigned to meet the needs of 
  multi-version documentation, blogs, download pages, and more. In addition, 
  compliant governance of the website has been carried out following the 
  guidelines for Podlings.
  - The community has implemented large-scale third-party dependency 
  security management.  Since entering the incubator, Seata has eliminated 
  271 dependency vulnerabilities.
  - The community has refactored over 30 examples in the samples project, 
  making the code structure more concise and clear, and better achieving the 
  unification of dependency management and business scenarios.

     Comments: This podling is near graduation. I suppose you spend more 
     time on ensuring the LICENSE compilance properly followed and revise the 
     website for both readability and following the trademark / branding 
     policies.

     Comments: The project is progressing well. This month, one of the 
     original mentors, Hitesh Shah, resigned due to other commitments. With 
     three remaining mentors, we currently see no need to add a new one but will 
     review as necessary in the future.
