## Texera

Texera is an open-source system to support collaborative data science, AI,
and ML using GUI-based workflows. Our vision is to develop a system to
support cloud platforms on which users can easily analyze data and use AI/ML
techniques provided as operators. Users with various backgrounds,
irrespective of whether they know coding or not, can collaborate on the same
project to construct a pipeline. Experienced users can use programming
languages such as Python, R, Java, and Scala to implement customized
computation logic. The platform allows users to pause the execution of a
workflow to investigate the operator states, and resume the execution at a
later time. The platform can be used by a research community to publish
valuable resources such as data sets, workflows, and ML models to share
their domain-specific knowledge and support reproducibility of scientific
research. The platform also allows users to elastically request computing
resources from public clouds for computationally-intensive tasks.

Texera has been incubating since 2025-04-12.

## Training

The Training project aims to develop resources which can be used for
training purposes in various media formats, languages and for various Apache
and non-Apache target projects.

Training has been incubating since 2019-02-21.

A graduation discussion has been started at
https://lists.apache.org/thread/5d87do2wl6yxvgt6kxwx6b90p7zb8dro
However, there have been no responses. We welcome comments.

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

  1. Nothing. We are ready to graduate.

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

We have determined to graduate. Please see link above.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

  - [x] Ready for graduation

### Date of last release:

While we have done a formal release, this is more of a content-producing project, rather than releasing software artifacts. The most recent content artifact was an update to the Airflow presentation, which lives at https://training.apache.org/presentations/airflow/index.html#/table-of-contents

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


### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Mentors have been very helpful and responsive.

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

Yes. Since our name is "Training", which is generic, we use the full "Apache Training", which is unique and protected by the ASF name. We have passed a name search.

Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings
name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to
correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name?
