# Incubator PMC report for May 2026

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 under incubation. In April, the Incubator made 6 releases, and some release votes are currently underway. There were two additions and no removals to IPMC membership.

Mailing list discussion in April focused primarily on release voting activity. There was also a discussion about using MCP-based tooling with publicly available data to generate Incubator insights, which sparked interest on the mailing list. This tooling was subsequently used, with human oversight, to help produce this report. A new incubation proposal for PIC Standard was discussed. A graduation discussion for Apache Livy has started.

Caldera has shown very limited engagement with ASF since entering incubation. Project communication has not been taking place on the mailing lists, and initial setup tasks, including ICLAs, accounts, and SGA progress, have not been progressing visibly. The IPMC raised these concerns with the project, and the podling has confirmed it will change course to address them and is making progress.

OpenServerless has been incubating for nearly two years and has not yet released an ASF release. Mailing list activity is almost entirely automated GitHub messages. No new committers or PPMC members have been elected since August 2024, and a private message sent to the podling about one month ago has not received a response. Mentor comments in the most recent reports and on the general list directly reflect these concerns. The IPMC has raised the question of whether to initiate a discussion about retirement. OpenServerless has started to move towards marking a release.

OzHera has not made an ASF release in over a year despite ongoing development activity. The project has been asked to outline the current status of release preparation, what is blocking the next release, and to address low mentor engagement across recent reporting periods.

PouchDB has been in incubation for 12 months with no ASF release. The project website at pouchdb.apache.org needs some work (which looks to have been done), and the previous project site at pouchdb.com still exists where it shouldn't. The IPMC raised these issues with the project's mentors, and the project is working to address them.

agents for             communicating with the command and control server,
and enables users to evaluate             security detections in a
structured, scalable, and repeatable way. With the use of             plug-
ins and community-contributed features, Caldera supports a range of use
cases             including adversary emulation, purple teaming, detection
engineering, and continuous             security validation. Using Caldera,
defenders can emulate known threat actor behavior             and perform
other red team activity to evaluate their organization’s defensive
capabilities, test analytics, and find detection gaps. As a modular tool
based on the             MITRE ATT&CK framework, Caldera is designed to be
extensible, intelligence-driven,             and automation-friendly.

## 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.

## Toree

Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
access Apache Spark.

Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.

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

  None

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

  None, Nothing much of news from previous report

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

  The community has focused heavily on getting Release 0.6.0 through the incubator review process. 
  A significant portion of the recent mailing list discussions involved working through 
  review feedback to ensure the project is fully compliant with graduation requirements, 
  specifically around the proper attribution and packaging of legal files.

  The community wants to finalize and publish Release 0.6.0 and then push for 
  graduation once the release process completes.

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

  The project progressed through Release 0.6.0 preparation, moving from RC3 up to RC5 votes.
  The main technical work involved fixing the assembly process so the fat jar correctly 
  includes all licenses and notices from bundled dependencies. We also had some minor 
  repository maintenance, such as updating GitHub Actions for SBT setup. 

  The upcoming release officially brings support for Scala 2.13 and Spark 3.4.4.
