## Baremaps

Apache Baremaps is a toolkit and a set of infrastructure components for
creating, publishing, and operating online maps.

Baremaps has been incubating since 2022-10-10.

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

  1. Reviewing compliance with Apache standards.
  2. Expanding the community.
  3. Making releases.

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

Several animated discussions allowed us to address licensing issues.
The fact that practices vary widely across top-level projects does not make the process easier.

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

Since the last release in December 2024, there has been an uptick in contributions.
We still struggle with the pace of releases, but the overall involvement seems to be increasing.

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

The last release effectively summarizes the project's development since the previous report.
https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/releases/tag/v0.8.1

More recently, we welcomed three new contributors.
Yongjun Hong contributed issue templates and github actions to facilitate the onboarding of new commers.
Alex Gacon fixed performance issues affecting the latest release.
Rohit Yaduvanshi improved the maven artifacts.

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

  Sébastien Riollet in June 2024

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

  Julian Hyde and Calvin Kirs provided valuable feedback.
  More generally, we struggle to get sufficient votes from PPMC members on our dev mailing list, which slows down the release process.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

  Yes

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

--------------------
## OpenServerless

OpenServerless is an open source, cloud-agnostic, serverless platform. It
offers a complete environment for serverless applications development, based
on Kubernetes. With Apache OpenWhisk as its FaaS engine, it provides an
unified developer experience with a plethora of services (SQL or noSQL
databases, key-value stores, object storage, LLMs services, function
schedulers) managed by the platform's core: the operator, along with tooling
(the CLI) to simplify (and interact with) deployments, integrated ide and
starter application and optimized runtimes integrated with the staters.

OpenServerless has been incubating since 2024-06-17.

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

  1. Community Building
  2. Review the status of all subprojects and align documentation
  3. Assess the requirements for the First Release

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No

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

  1. We tried, through posts on various social networks, to give visibility to the project
  2. We organized and publicized a training course focused on the use of Apache OpenServerless and IA.  
  3. Started a Discord channel to support people learning OpenServerless with the AI course

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

  1. The porting from the community version of Nuvolaris has been completed
  2. We have therefore focused on making the system stable, making the CLI more robust and the openserverless-tasks sub-project that collects the automation and integration scripts more organic
  3. We have brought the test suite to verify the functioning of the Kubernetes operator on all supported versions (k3s, k8s, docker, aks, eks, gks, openshift)

How many contributions are coming from contributors outside of the original set of contributors and companies? In these reports, try to focus more on community growth and development than project development.

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

No issues at the moment.


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

1. 40 new code contributors have joined the community (550 contributors in total)
2. 8 new committers were elected, and 2 PPMC members were elected. 
3. On the Seata GitHub page, there are around 3,500 "used by" listings, which means over 500 more projects are now depending on Seata since the last report.

## StormCrawler

StormCrawler is a collection of resources for building low-latency,
customisable and scalable web crawlers on Apache Storm.

StormCrawler has been incubating since 2024-03-19.

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

  1. Community building
  2.
  3.

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

No.

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

StormCrawler remains a rather mature and stable project, continuing to serve its niche effectively. While there isn’t much new to report in terms of major developments, we did have a contributor show up recently and provide some pull requests, which is always a positive sign.

It’s worth noting that, even in the age of AI, the number of people conducting their own large-scale web crawls remains relatively low. Many opt to leverage datasets like Common Crawl rather than setting up and maintaining their own crawling infrastructure. This makes community contributions even more valuable, as StormCrawler continues to be a reliable solution for those who do require custom crawling capabilities.


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

A new release of StormCrawler was made. 

However, one area of concern is the level of engagement among the initial committers. Out of the five original committers, only three have been actively contributing, while the remaining two have shown little to no involvement since the project's incubation. While it's not uncommon to see fluctuations in contributor activity due to shifting priorities and time constraints, this does highlight the need to expand the committer base. Therefore, we are happy that we could add an additional committer and PPMC member since incubation.

## Hunter

Hunter performs statistical analysis of performance test results 
and finds change-points and notifies about possible performance 
regressions. A typical use-case of hunter is as follows:
* A set of performance tests is scheduled repeatedly.
* The resulting metrics of the test runs are stored in a time 
series database (e.g, Graphite) or appended to CSV files.
* Hunter is launched by a Jenkins/Cron job (or an operator) to 
analyze the recorded metrics regularly.
* Hunter notifies about significant changes in recorded metrics

Hunter has been incubating since 2024-11-27.

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

1. Finish project setup:
   a. Rename - PODLINGNAMESEARCH-230.
   b. Add Apache License headers https://github.com/apache/hunter/issues/31.
2. Create a project website.
3. Publish the first release under the new name.

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

The original project name has been rejected in 
[PODLINGNAMESEARCH-228](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-228)
 and the proposal for the new name 
[PODLINGNAMESEARCH-230](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-230)
 has been blocked on review for a couple of weeks.

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

We have the first engagements in GH issues. We do not have any new contributors, 
but also we haven’t been promoting the project because we do not have the new 
approved name to promote.

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

Since the incubation started, there have been several notable developments:
1. The project has migrated from datastax-labs/hunter to apache/hunter 
repository ([HUNTER-1](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUNTER-1)).
2. Nyrkiö upstreamed all changes from their private fork -
https://github.com/apache/hunter/pull/27.
3. A complete overhaul of documentation has been done to lower the entry 
barrier - https://github.com/apache/hunter/pull/28. 

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

We are finishing the initial setup.
