Build the ASF first release. At present, we have completed API compatibility and data compatibility with the original non-Apache package.
The community grows to attract more users and elect more committers and PPMC members.
More discussions in @dev.

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?

This is the first report. The data below is in comparison to when we initially entered the Apache Incubator.

44 new contributors have joined the community (497 contributors in total)
3 new committers were elected, and no PPMC was elected.
Hosted 4 offline meetups, 10 online bi-weekly meetings, and several online technical architecture review sessions. ### How has the project developed since the last report?

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.
