See: board_minutes_2025_10_15.txt
Approved by General Consent.
4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]
No report was submitted.
B. President [Ruth Suehle]
The operations team discussed this month better documenting its
processes and policies. Officers have begun doing so to find where our
existing information, accounts, and policies is tracked and plans to
try to have that filled out next month. One proposed outcome is
possibly an a.o/policies section, and a standard template and process
for those to make them easier to find.
I've been helping Conferences seek venues for C/C next year. Finding
affordable venues of a large enough size in Europe has been a bit of a
challenge. Local volunteers who speak the language and can help with
coordination would be extremely helpful to broadening the options.
I did an interview with ODBMS Industry Watch this month:
https://www.odbms.org/blog/2025/11/community-over-code-ruth-suehle-on-leading-the-apache-software-foundation-into-the-future/
And a blog post for OSI that basically is a recap of the panel I
moderated at All Things Open: https://opensource.org/blog/sustaining-open-source-the-next-25-years-depend-on-what-we-do-together-now
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 11.
C. Treasurer [Craig McClanahan]
Normal operations continue. In addition, we (Treasury) are focused on
improving our documentation for both our own operations, and those of ASF
users of our bill.com and ramp.com services.
D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]
In October, the secretary received 28 ICLAs, one CCLA, and one
software grant.
E. Executive Vice President [Jeff Jirsa]
Modest progress continues on formalizing the Code of Conduct. This month,
aligned with VP Legal on both intent and challenges with the Code of Conduct
as written. VP Legal suggests bifurcating policy (code of conduct) between a
less rigid code of conduct for general communication and a more rigid and
formalized language that applies to those with a fiduciary duty to the
Foundation. VP Legal has offered to engage outside counsel (pro-bono to start)
to inquire about standard policies/documents in this space and confirm the
approach is sound and appropriate for the Foundation.
F. Vice Chair [Rich Bowen]

Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [Danny Angus]
General
=======
Updates to the ASF email infrastructure are planned for rollout 20
November 2025. The updates will improve delivery to gmail, outlook,
and other hosted domains who have increased the rigor of their inbound
mail rejection policies. Once the updates have been rolled out, Infra
will begin planning for full DKIM signing of all outgoing email. More
information is available from the Infra announcement message:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/4709w2rt5o3yjd0kpmtm8kvhs778ycmn
DDOS
====
Infra service availability has been spotty due to a world-wide large
scale DDOS attack. Significant efforts are underway to identify and
block the problematic traffic.
MFA Efforts
===========
An internal demo of the POC for Authentik MFA presented at the
November Infra Roundtable was well received. Members of Tooling,
Security, Infra, and several project representatives were present.
Rollout of the service is planned for end-of-year, with opt-in
onboarding as the initial target. A full implementation roadmap and
timeline will be presented in December.

# Tooling
The team continues to work hard building systems.
## Apache Trusted Releases (ATR)
The ASF published a blog post announcing the second alpha. The announcement
included information about how to contribute to the stack. The alpha is going
very well.
Our current development focus is on the following tasks.
1. Supporting PMC Alpha 2 testing with bug fixes and feature improvements
2. ASVS security review and necessary fixes
3. Changes needed for proper production configuration
## Board Agenda Tool (BAT)
The tool is now stable and essentially complete. There are some improvements
waiting for volunteer developer time. Please let the tooling team know if
there are any urgent issues.
## Secretary's Workbench
The repository is now open to all foundation members. Per a conversation with
the Chair at the C/C Conference the Roster tool is in scope. While our focus
is on ATR, we will validate if the requirements differ from the current Whimsy
implementations.
## Staffing
We are still searching for a replacement developer. We are getting some
support from volunteers.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 6: Report from the VP of Conferences [Brian Proffitt]
Met with cvent to discuss possibly switching to their call-for-presentation
system for future events, so we have one unified system to handle sessions and
registration, vs. two. Waiting for a bid to consider.
Continuing to explore potential venues in EU and UK for Community Over Code EU
2026. Several bid requests sent to venues, bids are still coming in.
Planners met with Lisa Cao to discuss possibility of doing one or two smaller
"roadshow"-like events in 2026. These events could be smaller (one- to
three-tracks, probably single-day) and be held at venues with lower costs
requirements, such as academic and public venues. Still finalizing the
details.
Met with VP, Fundraising and VP, Sponsor Relations to confirm we will continue
the corporate sponsor/conference sponsorship program

Attachment 8: Report from the VP of Diversity and Inclusion [Daniel Gruno]
Due to other engagements, I have not had the time to prepare a report for this
month, but will follow up with more zest next month.

Attachment 9: Report from the VP of Data Privacy [Christian Grobmeier]
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 10: Report from the VP of Public Affairs [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
CRA / Europe
With the exception of the horizontal standards - things continuing & no major
concerns. With the open source community slowly but surely building a very
usable set of documents at https://github.com/orcwg.
The `article 25' attestation programmes for open source foundations is picking
up steam; with a fair amount of appetite among our peers and their downstream
communities to do this. And a good workshop in Brussels
(https://github.com/orcwg/cra-attestations,
https://github.com/sCC4CRA/sCC4CRA).
The earlier reported, strongly felt, aspect of punishing downstream
freeloaders appears to make place for a, from a community perspective, more
healthy approach of `what does our (downstream) community need' -- and how
much of that can we do collectively.
I'll be working with our treasurer/legal to make sure that, should some PMCs
in our community want to do the same, that this works within the 503(c)(3)
and other limits (which I expect not to be an issue at all); and that we're
aligned with our peer USA based brethren.
Rest of world
No actions - but I think we're overdue for a sync with our communities in Asia
- to make sure they are aware of the state of play. Will try to reach out.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 11: Report from the VP of ECMA Relations [Piotr Karwasz]
No new activity this month, as the Common Lifecycle Enumeration, Package URL,
and CycloneDX 1.7 proposals await Executive Committee and December General
Assembly decisions.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 12: Report from the VP of W3C Relations [Andy Seaborne]
Nothing to report this month.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 13: Report from the Apache Legal Affairs Committee [Roman Shaposhnik]
Past month has been pretty calm. Committee members took good care of resolving
most issues on time. After resolving a handful of LEGAL issues, we are flat at
24 issues compared to the last month.
We received a request to review proposed ASF Brand Contest Rules -- plan to be
done with the review by the end of this week.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 14: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark J. Cox]
October
* Help Infra with the mailinglist DMARC issues, both to improve the
deliverability of security-relevant emails and to clear the path for ongoing
MFA work.
* Complete coaching Geode towards a release and disclosure of fixed security
issues - the project is now back to health security-wise.
* Various discussions on how MFA and more fine-grained credentials can improve
our operational security going forward.
* A ransomware group announced they are going to release a cache of documents
relating to Apache OpenOffice. There has been no reported ransom demand
within the Foundation or from the project, and much of the data types
described in the claim are ones we do not collect or own. We continue to
monitor the situation and work with the markpub team on reactive press
statements.
Stats for October 2025:
49 [license confusion]
33 [support request/question not security notification]
9 [report/question relating to dependencies]
Security reports: 66 (last months: 103, 99, 119)
10 ['website or other infrastructure']
7 ['tomcat']
6 ['logging']
5 ['airflow', 'httpd']
3 ['commons', 'iotdb', 'superset']
2 ['seatunnel', 'spark']

'dolphinscheduler', 'dubbo', 'fory', 'freemarker', 'guacamole',
'hive', 'hop', 'kie', 'maven', 'ofbiz', 'orc', 'shardingsphere',
'solr', 'texera']
In total, as of 3rd November 2025, we're tracking 244 (last months: 264,
249) open issues across 79 projects, median age 100 days (last months:
71, 83). 78 of those issues have CVE names assigned. 23 (last months:
20, 25) of these issues, across 10 projects, are older than 365 days.
* fineract (Health amber): there are a number of open issues approaching a
year old. The PMC has started to make progress and has made documentation
and architectural changes, with more focus expected to close out these
issues. (Last update: 2025-10-08)
* openoffice (Health amber): Several issues in OpenOffice are over 365 days
old. They are not severe enough to warrant stopping distribution of
OpenOffice, and there is progress on finding an architectural improvement to
fix them, but we actively work to improve the projects' ability to respond
to security issues going forward. A release fixing a number of
long-standing issues is in progress and expected in the coming days.
(Last update: 2025-11-10)
* spark (Health amber): the project is not responsive to security issues
(Last update: 2025-10-15)
* thrift (Health amber): the PMC does not appear to have the bandwidth to
triage incoming reports in a timely fashion, or accept help with this.

Attachment D: Report from the Apache Ant Project [J Pai]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Ant is the creation and maintenance of the Ant build
system and related software components.
It consists of the following main projects:
- Ant - core and libraries (AntLibs)
- Ivy - Ant based dependency manager
## Project Status:
Current project status: Primarily in bug fix mode and maintenance mode.
Issues for the board: None for now.
## Membership Data:
Apache Ant was founded 2002-11-18 (22 years ago)
There are currently 29 committers and 22 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 4:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Magesh Umasankar on 2018-07-06.
- No new committers. Last addition was Jaikiran Pai on 2017-06-15.
## Project Activity:
The primary goal of Ant these days is to make sure that it can be used
to build projects using recent releases of Java. Ant 1.10.15 was
released on 29th August 2024 and that's our latest version of Ant.
Ivy 2.5.3 has been released on 23rd December 2024 which is our latest
version of Ivy.
Some minor bug fixes have accumulated in the Ant project since the
last release, so we might consider doing a release in the upcoming
weeks.
## Community Health:
Although we don't see too much development activity in Ant,
there are several active users of the Ant build tool. We
occasionally also see pull requests on GitHub.
For a project that's in maintenance mode, our amount of
activity, we believe, is decent.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment E: Report from the Apache Avro Project [Ryan Skraba]
## Description:
Apache Avro is a data serialization system with a compact binary format. It is
used for storing and transporting schema-driven serialized data. The unique
features of Avro include automatic schema resolution: when the reader's
expected schema is different from the actual schema with which the data was
serialized the data is automatically adapted to meet reader's requirements.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: Declining PMC and committer engagement
## Membership Data:
Apache Avro was founded 2010-04-21 (16 years ago) There are currently 38
committers and 25 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 5:4.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Oscar Westra van Holthe - Kind on
2024-08-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Christiaan Biesterbosch on 2025-08-04.
We have had two graceful PMC resignations, but that's not really an issue or
unexpected for a long-lived project.
## Project Activity:
We had a release for the Rust SDK this quarter, and managed to do two minor
releases for the other language SDKs, addressing the accumulated bug and
security fixes. This has been long-awaited. We've seen some improvements to
the release process but it still remains a chore for the release manager, and
it can take some time to get enough votes to validate the release candidate.
## Community Health:
Mailing Lists:
- dev@avro.apache.org had 339 emails (+7% change)
- issues@avro.apache.org (mostly notifications) had 496 emails (-3% change)
- user@avro.apache.org continues to have very little traffic
JIRA:
- 25 issues opened (-41% change)
- 16 issues closed (-69% change)
Code Repository:
- 47 commits in the past quarter (-34% change)
- 13 code contributors in the past quarter (-48% change)
GitHub:
- 78 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (5% change)
- 81 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-32% change)
Community activity is in line with our expectations, but we need to be more
reactive to pull requests and issues.

-----------8<----------
> Are you able to provide adequate oversight of your project? That is, are
> there at least three PMC members who are engaged enough to respond in the
> event of a CVE or similar crisis?
Yes, we maintain adequate project oversight and can address CVEs. Twenty-five
PMC members responded to the last roll call. Numerous PMC members actively
participate in both dev and private list discussions, ensuring that we have
more than the requisite three members available for rapid response to a CVE
or similar event.
> Are there current or upcoming risks that threaten the sustainability of
> your project? This could be anything from a change in employment of

> project less (or more) relevant.
We currently do not see any specific risks threatening the project's
sustainability. We are focused on long-term health through deliberate
diversification and expansion of our contributor base.
This quarter, we successfully added 1 new PMC member and 4 new committers,
and another PMC addition is currently under discussion.
Additional indicators of Project Health and Growth this Quarter:
- Infrastructure: We successfully implemented pre-commit CI (available at
pre-ci.cassandra.apache.org), made possible by a generous infrastructure
donation from Amazon.
- Releases: We shipped new versions of the:
- Cassandra server
- Java drivers
- GoCQL drivers
- Sidecar
- dtest-api
- Community: The PMC supervised several successful new meetups and
organized a popular and well-attended Cassandra track at ApacheCon.
- Software grants: The ASF received software grants from DataStax (IBM)
for python-driver, cpp-driver, nodejs-driver, csharp-driver. The first
three are in progress (the latter is still being considered for acceptance
by the project – if there are enough maintainers for it present).

The GSoC 2025 season has progressed smoothly. Final submission and evaluation
for 25 out of 27 projects have been completed, and the remaining evaluations
will be finished later this week. The final results will be available after the
program ends in November.
The GSoC Mentor Summit 2025 was held in Munich, Germany, and was attended by
our GSoC admin Priya Sharma, who represented the ASF.
### Apache Local Communities (ALC)
#### ALC Taipei
ALC Taipei organized four in-person meetups and knowledge-sharing sessions
this quarter. Activities included technical talks from open-source contributors,
discussions on enterprise adoption of open source, and the chapter’s inaugural
meeting, which gathered more than 100 attendees from domestic companies and
other organizations.
### Community Over Code NA 2025
We had 14 talks in the Community Track at Community Over Code NA 2025. These
sessions were well received and attracted a good audience turnout,
reflecting the continued interest in community-focused topics. Thanks to our
Community Track Chairs Rich Bowen, Sanyam Goel, and Chris Wells for their
support and coordination throughout the event.
## Community Health:
We had a good quarter with active contributions across various areas,
particularly GSoC, ALC activities, and Community Over Code NA. This reflects
strong engagement from our community members.
Although we observed a drop in activity on our dev mailing list, which
was expected, as many community members were occupied with preparations
and participation in Community Over Code NA 2025.

Attachment O: Report from the Apache CouchDB Project [Jan Lehnardt]
## Description:
Apache CouchDB software is a document-oriented database that can be queried and
indexed in a MapReduce fashion using JavaScript. CouchDB also offers
incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and resolution.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache CouchDB was founded 2008-11-19 (17 years ago)
There are currently 73 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Glynn Bird on 2023-03-14.
- No new committers. Last addition was Tony Schmidt on 2025-03-31.
## Project Activity:
- CouchDB has applied to the Sovereign Tech Agency (STA) Bug Resilience
Programme and has been accepted. The work items being tackled
under the programme will be developer experience and automated
testing improvements, that will make CouchDB easier to contribute
to by new and existing contributors. It will also reduce maintenance
burden.
- The STA partner for doing this work is CouchDB PMC Chair Jan Lehnardt’s
company Neighbourhoodie. Jan has abstained from any project decisions
about this to avoid a conflict of interest. In addition, the STA is
aware of all this and all safeguards are in place to avoid any potential
issues.
- A set of major new features have been merged into main that will address
very longstanding issues with CouchDB when it comes to storing time-series
data. We are still refining some configuration API details, but a new feature
version 3.6.0 will include the new fixes.
- In the meantime, the vote to release bugfix version 3.5.1 is underway at the
time of writing.
## Community Health:
It’s a normal y/y quarter for CouchDB, development has picked up after the
northern hemisphere summer quarter as per usual.

Attachment P: Report from the Apache Creadur Project [Philipp Ottlinger]
## Description:
The mission of Creadur is the creation and maintenance of software related to
Comprehension and auditing of software distributions
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: RFC: development of RAT under the tooling umbrella?
As the PMC remains to be rather small I'd like to ask the board for
their insight on the future development of RAT.
Would it make sense/be possible to support the Creadur PMC
from the tooling project?
## Membership Data:
Apache Creadur was founded 2012-04-18 (14 years ago)
There are currently 11 committers and 10 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Claude Warren on 2024-01-23.
- No new committers. Last addition was Jean-Baptiste Onofré on 2024-01-23.
## Project Activity:
Apache RAT 0.17 was released on 2025-10-17 with many new changes and
a new webpage, which was a big chunk of work!
Development of RAT 1.0.0 started with architecture discussions.
Subprojects Tentacles and Whisker remain in dormant mode and mostly
only get dependency updates and infrastructure changes.
## Community Health:
Two new contributors started interacting with the PMC/project in order
to get a RAT Gradle plugin and a RAT GitHubAction.
Unfortunately 2 PMC members resigned just after the release vote started
for RAT 0.17.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment Q: Report from the Apache DataSketches Project [Lee Rhodes]
## Description:
The mission of Apache DataSketches is the creation and maintenance of software
related to an open source, high-performance library of streaming algorithms
commonly called "sketches" in the data sciences. Sketches are small, stateful
programs that process massive data as a stream and can provide approximate
answers, with mathematical guarantees, to computationally difficult queries
orders-of-magnitude faster than traditional, exact methods
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, moderate activity
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache DataSketches was founded 2020-12-15 (5 years ago)
There are currently 18 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 6:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Pierre Lacave was added to the PMC on 2025-08-12
- Will Lauer was added to the PMC on 2025-08-12
- No new committers. Last addition was Nikunj Bhartia on 2025-06-11.
## Project Activity:
The datasketches-java (ds-java) library has been moving quickly to keep
pace with the new Java language releases. DS-java 8.0.0 was released in
April supporting Java 21. We are currently busy refactoring the entire
ds-java library to migrate to the new Java FFM API, which had its
first LTS release with the Java 25 this past September. We hope to have
this release out by next quarter.
This migration will eliminate the current dependency on the
datasketches-memory repo, which was created 10 years ago to enable
fast off-heap management of data structures and state-machines.
## Community Health:
Our project is healthy. We have a small, loyal and growing community
of users that contact us when they have questions or issues. We are experiencing
growing interest from major corporations in our multi-language libraries.
The Google adoption is strong evidence of that.
We continue to get interest from scientists around the world who
offer ideas for new sketches for our library based on recent research.

Attachment R: Report from the Apache DB Project [Bryan Pendleton]
## Description:
The mission of the Apache DB project is to create and maintain
commercial-quality, open-source, database solutions based on software licensed
to the Foundation, for distribution at no charge to the public.
The Apache DB TLP consists of the following subprojects:
o Derby : a relational database implemented entirely in Java.
o JDO : focused on building the API and the TCK for compatibility
testing of Java Data Object implementations providing data
persistence.
o Torque : an object-relational mapper for Java.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache DB was founded 2002-07-16 (23 years ago)
There are currently 48 committers and 46 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Max Philipp Wriedt on 2024-07-03.
- No new committers. Last addition was Max Philipp Wriedt on 2023-04-14.
## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
- Torque 7.0 was released on 2025-08-13.
- Torque 6.0 was released on 2024-05-22.
- Derby-10.17.1.0 was released on 2023-11-14.
## Community Health:
The DB community have reached consensus that the Derby software
is no longer actively being maintained and should be retired.
A public vote on the derby-dev list confirmed that consensus,
and the PMC are working to implement a subset of the Apache Attic
process to reflect that decision and to make the status be clearly
communicated to future visitors of the Db project site.
The JDO and Torque communities do not expect any major issues
with our use of Derby when the Derby project retires.
The Torque community voted on the Torque 7.0 release and it
was approved and released on 2025-08-13. The Torque developers
are working on a new approach to a performance problem in the
processRow method of RecordMappers (TORQUE-364).
The JDO team continues to work toward the next release, 3.2.2.
No date yet but we have a number of fixes and improvements that
make it seem like a good time to make a dot release. JDO have
put SBOM creation into the normal build process. Two flavors
of SBOM have been built. and we expect to incorporate them into
the release process. The JDO team are working on the alpha version
of Apache Trusted Release; nothing official yet.
The JDO team helped with the DB project logo update to use
the Oak Leaf instead of the Feather.

Attachment S: Report from the Apache DeltaSpike Project [Mark Struberg]
## Description:
Apache DeltaSpike is a suite of portable CDI (Contexts & Dependency
Injection) extensions intended to make application development easier when
working with CDI and Java EE. Some of its key features include:
- A core runtime that supports component configuration, type safe messaging
and internationalization, and exception handling.
- A suite of utilities to make programmatic bean lookup easier.
- A plugin for Java SE to bootstrap various CDI containers.
- JSF integration
- JPA integration and transaction support.
- A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA.
- Testing support to allow low level unit testing of CDI enabled projects.
## Issues
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
I might add one note regarding to the TLP discussion spanning multiple EE
projects. There was not much response to the proposal from the other TLPs.
DeltaSpike passed it's last release with plenty of PMC activity (6 +1) and
thus I'll likely will not push further towards it. Ofc if there is a need
again then it feels like the most sensitive route to pursue.
## Activity
The last quarter was really quiet. After the last release we mostly
updated out site and cleaned up documentation.
## Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Harald Wellmann on 2016-05-19.
- Thomas Frühbeck was added as committer on 2024-02-05
## Recent releases:
- 2.0.1 (JakartaEE) was released on 2025-08-11.
- 2.0.0 (JakartaEE) was released on 2024-04-10.
- 1.9.6 was released on 2022-04-12.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Maksym Rymar was added to the PMC on 2025-09-30
- No new committers. Last addition was Maksym Rymar on 2022-10-19.
## Project Activity:
* 1.22.0 was released on 2025-06-28.
* 1.21.1 was released on 2023-04-29.
* 1.21.0 was released on 2023-02-21.
Since the release of Drill 1.22, there have been some significant updates both
committed and in progress. Many of these are what I would classify as
"major surgery", even though they do not sound like it. As a result of these
updates, the next version of Drill drops support for Hadoop 2, and Java 8
and 11.
Additionally, we are working on updating Drill's Hive dependencies which have
not been updated in some time. Drill currently has dependencies for Hive 3.1.x
for which there are many CVEs and requires Java 8. Updating Drill's dependency
to Hive 4 is a major update and requires a complete refactoring of the test
infrastructure for this plugin. It is in progress but we do not have a PR
yet for that.
(Merged)
* DRILL-3962: Add Support For ROLLUP, CUBE, GROUPING SETS,
GROUPING, GROUPING_ID,GROUP_ID (Merged)
* DRILL-8534: Update Kafka to 3.9 / 3.9.1 (Non-trivial update)
* DRILL-8531: Update Libraries due to CVEs (Non-trivial updates)
* DRILL-8528: HBase Limit Pushdown
(In Progress)
* DRILL-8540: Update Jetty to Version 12 (Non-trivial update)
* DRILL-8474: Apache Daffodil Integration
* DRILL-8537: Update Calcite (Very Non-Trivial Update)
## Community Health:
Note that we do not have metrics for our Slack channel.
* dev@drill.apache.org had a 7% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(128 emails compared to 119)
* user@drill.apache.org had a 50% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(15 emails compared to 10)
* 12 JIRA tickets opened and 0 closed in the past quarter.

Attachment X: Report from the Apache Druid Project [Abhishek Agarwal]
Report date: 2025-11-03
## Description
Apache Druid is a high performance real-time analytics database. It is
designed for workflows where low-latency query and ingest are the main
requirements. It implements ingestion, storage, and querying subsystems.
Users interface with Druid through built-in SQL and JSON APIs, as well as
third-party applications.
Druid has an extensive web of connections with other Apache projects: Calcite
for SQL planning, Curator and ZooKeeper for coordination, Kafka, Hadoop and
Iceberg as
data sources, Avro, ORC, or Parquet as supported data input formats, and
DataSketches for scalable approximate algorithms. Druid can also be used as a
data source by Superset.
## Project Status
Ongoing - with High activity
### Issues
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
### Recent releases
- 34.0.0, a major release, on 2025-08-11.
## Project Activity
Our last major release was Druid 34.0.0, which contained 270 new features,
bug fixes, performance enhancements, documentation improvements,
and additional test coverage from 48 contributors.
Druid typically does major releases 3–4 times a year.
This release had many more contributions compared to the release before (190).
## Community Health
Our Slack workspace at https://apachedruidworkspace.slack.com/ stands at 3,314
members, up 91 members since our last report. This number is similar to the
kind of members growth we have seen so far.
Slack is our most active channel for user support and usage-oriented
discussions. As before, development discussions
happen more on GitHub, and sometimes on the dev mailing list.
We removed the support for Java 11 but were able to retain the Hadoop
integration that is still used by many community members.
We recently merged in druid-operator, commonly used to run druid on kubernetes,
into the mainline druid repo. Many community members came forward and
helped push this effort.
### Development activity by the numbers
Since the last report on 11th August
- 287 commits from 36 contributors
- 370 pull requests opened
- 315 pull requests merged/closed
These numbers are similar to what was reported in the previous quarter.
## Membership Data
Apache Druid was founded 2019-12-17 (8 years ago)
There are currently 73 committers and 40 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:5.
We haven't added any PMC or committer since last report though we did start a
discussion thread to make druid-operator contributors committers. Now that
project is completed, we can proceed with formal voting thread. Though this
still requires some attention and we do need to find more potential
committers.

## Health report:
Activity was very low in recent months. User questions (mostly on
StackOverflow) and new Jira issues are still being answered. Most PR-s slowly
but eventually getting reviewed and merged. Next goal is to do the next minor
release as enough smaller changes accumulated. Bigger task still unfinished in
2.x line is the java.time support (FREEMARKER-35). The even longer term goal
is continuing the ongoing development on the 3.0 branch, so that the project
can innovate, and the code base can become more modern and attractive for new
committers.

## Community Health:
Overall, community activity in terms of commits, PRs, issues fixed, and
mailing list activity was about average this quarter. But despite average
statistics, it was not average in terms of excitement with four significant
highlights for the quarter.
Several years in the making, the project released Groovy 5 with 400+ changes
since Groovy 4. We see encouraging signs on Groovy 5 adoption as numerous
downstream projects look like upgrading to Groovy 5 soon. Early planning for
Groovy 6 will commence shortly.
The Geb subproject had its first release as part of the ASF. Further work is
underway to streamline releases. Some of those involved in Geb who aren't
already Groovy committers are good candidates for future committers.
Work helping Grails on their incubation journey is complete in the sense that
their graduation was approved at the last board meeting. They were a joy to
work with and we wish them every success going forward. We still anticipate
working very closely with the Grails project.
We had an exciting time contributing to the Community over Code NA conference
in Minneapolis in September. Talks on Groovy, Geb and Grails featured in the
Groovy and Incubator tracks. We wish to thank all of the organisers and
participants for making the event so worthwhile.

3.4.0 was released on 2024-03-17.
## Community Health:
- JUnit5 Migration
The Hadoop project has fully migrated its unit testing framework from
JUnit 4 to JUnit 5[1].
This upgrade resolves previous compatibility warnings that occurred
under mixed JUnit4/5 execution modes, significantly improving the
consistency and stability of the testing framework.
By leveraging JUnit 5’s extended capabilities—such as parameterized
and dynamic tests—the project has also achieved higher test coverage
and improved maintainability.
- Full Support for JDK 17 and JDK 21
The Hadoop trunk branch now fully supports building and compiling with
JDK 17 and JDK 21[2].
This enables Hadoop to take advantage of the performance optimizations
and new language features introduced in modern JDKs, such as enhanced
switch expressions, record classes, and virtual threads.
Following the SpotBugs plugin upgrade, some new static analysis
warnings were reported;
the community is actively working on resolving them to maintain high
code quality and consistency in static checks.
- Integration of Volcano Engine TOS Module
The TOS module from Volcano Engine has been successfully merged into
the Hadoop trunk branch[3].
This module provides native Hadoop support for Volcano Engine Object
Storage and includes comprehensive unit tests to ensure compatibility
and stability under high-concurrency and distributed scenarios.
Its inclusion further strengthens Hadoop’s adaptability to multi-cloud
and hybrid-cloud environments.
- JDK 22+ Compatibility and Adaptation in Progress
The Hadoop community has started compatibility testing and feature
validation for JDK 22 and later versions.
The ongoing work focuses on module system adaptation, reflection
mechanism changes, and potential API deprecations.
As newer JDK versions are released, Hadoop will continue to ensure
stable operation within the evolving Java ecosystem.
JDK 22+ client issues have been resolved[4], and work is underway to
fix remaining UGI compatibility problems[5].
- Native Support for Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
Apache Hadoop now includes native support for Google Cloud Storage
(GCS)[6], featuring a FileSystem implementation accessible via the
gs:// URI scheme.
This integration allows users to access and process GCS data directly
through Hadoop ecosystem tools such as MapReduce, Spark, and
Hive—significantly enhancing Hadoop’s flexibility and interoperability
in multi-cloud data analytics scenarios.
- The Project shows healthy engagement based on Mailing list/JIRA/Github
traffic.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Giovanni Bechis on 2021-06-11.
- No new committers. Last addition was Emmanuel Dreyfus on 2022-11-05.
## Project Activity:
The project released httpd 2.4.64 and 2.4.65 since my last report in February.
As well some features and bug fixes backported from the trunk, the 2.4.64
release in July addressed a set of eight outstanding security issues (all
assessed with Low or Moderate severity). Unfortunately one of the mod_rewrite
changes included in the release opened up another security issue in some
configurations, and 2.4.65 was released a couple of weeks later to address
that issue.
As usual we had a spike of project activity preparing and reviewing backports
around the releases. One of the 2.4.64 security fixes to mod_ssl proved
particularly controversial for users by restricting access to SSL virtual
hosts (see BZ 69872) in some configurations; this will be addressed with a new
configuration directive in a future update.
A couple of new modules ("mod_random and "mod_replace") were also proposed for
inclusion, which prompted some list discussion.
## Community Health:
Mailing list activity on dev@ and users@ was generally quieter than usual this
quarter. GitHub continues to see a very healthy flow of PRs with some complex
feature submissions coming in from non-committers, generally at a faster
pace than committers are reviewing and merging (or rejecting) them; leading to
a slow-growing backlog of unreviewed PRs.

Attachment AM: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Justin Mclean]
# Incubator PMC report for November 2025
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. As of
October, there are 30 podlings under incubation. Five releases
were made during the month, and no IP clearance was completed. No podlings
retired during the month, and one person left the IPMC, as they have
retired.
Mailing-list traffic in October covered the usual Incubator topics,
including new proposals, release votes, and discussions on graduation
readiness.
The Incubator wiki and Training Hub have been expanded to include
additional materials. Some existing resources were converted into other
formats (e.g., guides into slide decks and videos) to accommodate different
learning preferences. Several new guides were created in response to minor
recurring issues observed across podlings, including communication and
third-party branding.
A consolidated guide, the **Mentor Handbook**, now serves as a single entry
point that links to all materials, including guides, decks, short videos,
and case studies, so mentors and podlings can find consistent references in
one place.
**Guides**
- **Podling Orientation Guide**: Overview of entering incubation, including
roles and expectations.
- **Graduation & Beyond**: Practical outline of what happens after
graduation.
- **Vendor Neutrality**: Governance considerations for balanced
decision-making, avoiding corporate dominance, and sustaining community
independence.
- **Mentor’s Tough Conversations Guide**: Approaches for sensitive
situations such as lack of engagement, governance misunderstandings, or
interpersonal issues.
- **Governance in Practice**: Explains how consensus, merit, and "community
over code" operate throughout incubation.
- **How to Use the ASF Maturity Model**: Guidance on applying the maturity
framework for self-assessment.
- **International / Cultural Awareness**: Tips for cross-cultural
communication and collaboration.
- **Interacting with ASF Infrastructure**: Practical information for
working effectively with Infra processes and expectations.
- **Communication in Apache Projects**: Mailing list use, decision records,
and public-by-default norms.
- **Graduation Criteria**: Explains how the IPMC assesses whether a podling
is ready to graduate, outlining expectations for community maturity,
diversity, and governance.
- **Measuring Podling Health**: Simple indicators for monitoring podling
progress.
- **Legal Basics**: Key points about licensing, NOTICE and HEADER
practices, and where to ask legal questions.
- **Privacy and Data Handling**: Guidance on managing contributor data,
such as ICLAs, and maintaining privacy in podlings.
There is also new content based on the existing Incubator case studies.
These are works in progress and include:
- **IPMC Reflection and Oversight Guide**: Case-based learning resource for
recognising patterns in community health and effective oversight.
- **Extended Incubator Case Studies**: Case studies organised into
community growth and diversity, corporate independence, complex incubation,
lifecycle, and global collaboration.
- **Release Vote Insights**: Analysis of release-vote email traffic over
ten years. This is being adapted by M&P into a blog post.
Additionally, based on the incubator case studies, several interactive
scenarios have been developed.
All of this content is linked from the Training section of the Incubator
site, which now includes a resources index grouping materials by topic and
a lifecycle-based view that organises them along the incubation journey
from onboarding to graduation. These resources directly support podling
readiness and are already being used by several projects preparing for
graduation.
A new Mentor Topic of the Month thread series has also been launched to
encourage ongoing mentor engagement and knowledge sharing. The first
discussion focused on how to grow new contributors. It's also a way to
share some of the new training material. If this proves helpful, we'll
continue it.
An experiment inviting podlings to take part in a structured six-month
community health review is underway. The review helps projects reflect on
progress, identify blockers, and discuss support needs with their mentors
and the IPMC. Hamilton, PouchDB, and Texera were invited to participate.
Hamilton is actively discussing this. The review offers an optional
lightweight opportunity for projects to reflect on their progress, identify
blockers, and discuss support needs with mentors and the IPMC.
There is a concern about HoraeDB; most of the original developers have
departed, and the podling has been asked to outline a plan for attracting
and developing new contributors. A minor website issue was noted with
Gluten and GeaFlow. There was also a discussion regarding KIE hosting
non-ASF releases and how this aligns with Incubator policy.
The usual discussions on release votes and incubation proposals continue,
and we have accepted one new project, Caldera, into the Incubator. A vote
to graduate Apache Wayang is underway.
Most podlings continue to make progress toward graduation, and the IPMC
will continue to monitor long-running podlings. Both Livy and Toree are now
actively discussing graduation, and several other projects are likely to
graduate in the next couple of months. Pegasus was discussing graduation,
but that has stalled as several core developers have left the project.
All podlings reported this month. Again, a couple of projects were
contacted regarding issues in their reports and were pointed to the new
reporting guide. Pegasus did not have mentor sign-off when the report
was submitted.

## Pegasus
Pegasus is a distributed key-value storage system which is designed to be
simple, horizontally scalable, strongly consistent and high-performance.
Pegasus has been incubating since 2020-06-28.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. The graduation discussion has been initiated, but not enough PPMC
members have participated yet; therefore, the discussion is currently
blocked.
2.
3.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Many core members of the project have left, leading to a decline in
community activity and consequently blocking the graduation discussion.
However, there are still some PPMC members and contributors maintaining
the project.
The reason there has been no release for nearly two years since December
2023 is that several major features were planned for Pegasus 2.6.0, such
as FQDN support and a refactored metrics framework. However, due to the
inactivity of many core members, progress on these major features has
been difficult. At present, the remaining active members are doing their
best to move things forward.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Some new contributors have joined the project development.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
Introduce some new features, enhancements and fixes, including:
- support encrypted password file during SASL authentication for
ZooKeeper C client
- the underlying network communication and the write path have been
optimized
- some bugs of replica server, scripts, java and go client have been fixed
- some dependencies of java client have been upgraded to the secure
versions

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

No
### How has the community developed since the last report?
We had three new external contributors and also an external contributor
who helped us to identify the security issue.

`edu.uci.ics` and its now changed to `org.apache.texera` to be compliance
with Apache
- Add ML training operators for linear and logistic regression
- Add a new micro-service named access control service which secures
socket connection between computing unit and user

Attachment AS: Report from the Apache Logging Services Project [Piotr Karwasz]
## Description:
The mission of the Apache Logging Services project is to create and
maintain of software for managing the logging of application behavior,
and for related software components.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board:
The project has faced some pushback regarding the required code review
process, which effectively places committers and external contributors
on the same footing when submitting code changes.
At the same time, user expectations and emerging industry standards such
as SLSA increasingly call for two-party reviews (not necessarily from
two trusted parties).
Some guidance from the Board on how to best balance these expectations
with the *merit* and *trust* earned by committers would be appreciated.

- Committers: 47 (19 active)
- PMC Members: 23 (15 active)
- Committer-to-PMC ratio: 2:1 overall; 1:1 among active members
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Fred am Nil on 2024-08-07.
- No new committers. Last addition was Jeff Thomas on 2025-02-27.
## Project Activity:
During the August–October 2025 quarter, the three active components
(Log4cxx, Log4net and Log4j) showed moderate activity overall.
### Log4cxx (activity: moderate)
- Continued work on a larger performance improvement initiative.
- Disclosed two vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-54812 and CVE-2025-54813.
- Release: log4cxx-1.5.0 (2025-08-03)
### Log4j (activity: moderate)
- Focused on improving Spring Boot integration and ensuring Log4j 2.25.x
inclusion in the upcoming Spring Boot 4.x release.
- Engaged in extensive community discussion around the code review
policy introduced in May.
- Release: log4j-2.25.2 (2025-09-22)
### Log4net (activity: moderate)
- Ongoing maintenance with a focus on bug fixes and stability improvements.
- Next release: log4net-3.2.1 planned for December 2025, primarily addressing
minor bug fixes.
- Release: log4net-3.2.0 (2025-08-22)
## Community Health:
The project community remains active and engaged, with a few new regular
contributors who may be invited as committers in the future. Activity
from several long-term contributors has gradually declined over the
years, although one long-standing PMC member has indicated that the
stricter review requirements introduced in May contributed to his
reduced involvement.
The user and downstream project communities continue to provide valuable
feedback, reinforcing that the logging ecosystem remains active and
evolving.

Attachment AT: Report from the Apache Mahout Project [Shannon Quinn]
## Description:
The mission of Mahout is the creation and maintenance of software related to
Scalable machine learning library
## Project Status:
Current project status: We are slowly but surely coming out of 'dormant' /
hibernation. Code activity has been picking up, driven by our two new
committers. We continue to pivot from scalable machine learning to quantum
computing, which is driving a non-trivial bit of interest. We all still have
day jobs, which hinders progress, but the new contributors are students who
make commits when on holiday or to procrastinate from assignments which helps
a lot, and in tern demands attention from PMC with day jobs who think "well, i
don't really have time to implement the yak shaver, but i suppose i should at
least review the PR from this kid who did" and as such we're coming back to
life. Issues for the board: Thanks for dropping the feather, we _just_ got
that incorporated into our logo after idk how many years. Lol.
Issues for the board: PMC is focusing on (and driving committers to help on)
releasing on PyPi using the new ASF tool that is being developed. That and
none of us are here full time is me forward selling- things may appear to slow
down in the codebase over the next 3 mo, but in actually we're just doing
stuff to help ASF and spending time w/ loved ones.
## Membership Data:
Apache Mahout was founded 2010-04-20 (16 years ago)
There are currently 31 committers and 10 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Shannon Quinn on 2023-02-12.
- Guan-Ming Chiu was added as committer on 2025-11-04
## Project Activity:
Working on getting a release to PyPi, also will be slower than it would be
otherwise as we're helping pathfind with the new Apache Release Tool
## Community Health:
The potentially useful metrics are laughably not for small projects such as
ours.
dev@mahout.apache.org had a 6912% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(4067 emails compared to 58) issues@mahout.apache.org had a 566% increase in
traffic in the past quarter (20 emails compared to 3) user@mahout.apache.org
had a 100% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (0 emails compared to 6)
Suffice to say I think we're healthy- the 6 emails on user @ last quarter were
probably spam or ApacheCon (whatever it's called now) announcement emails, or
something like that. That list isn't really used much.
But as (iirc) tison said, we're adding new committers, which is (also in my
opinion) the strongest metric for good health.

Community changes, since last report in August:
- No new PMC member. Last addition was made on 2023-08-03.
- No new committers. Last addition was on 2019-08-17.
## Project Activity:
We have released ManifoldCF 2.29 in September and we started a new branch for upgrading to OpenJDK 21.
We started to remove legacy connectors and we currently have some test suites to migrate to JUnit 5.
I have to encourage greater involvement from all the contributors, again.
I don't see contributions coming from the community and I'm struggling to find time for this due to personal
issues that I should solve in a couple of months. Even if I'm still active in the project,
it's impossible for me to give the right attention to it because it's too much work to do.
I'm wondering if we should start considering ManifoldCF for the Attic.
Recent releases:
2.29 was released on 2025-09-12
SDK 1.02 released on 2025-02-10
2.28 was released on 2025-01-15

Attachment AX: Report from the Apache OpenWhisk Project [Dave Grove]
## Description:
The mission of Apache OpenWhisk is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a platform for building serverless applications with functions
## Project Status:
Current project status: Dormant
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache OpenWhisk was founded 2019-07-16 (6 years ago)
There are currently 54 committers and 22 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Cosmin Stanciu on 2022-02-22.
- No new committers. Last addition was Luke Roy on 2023-03-06.
## Project Activity:
The main activity in this quarter was a set of code changes
from a long-standing project committer that migrated the core OpenWhisk
system from Akka to Apache Pekko.
The most recent releases were part of a wave of openwhisk-runtime releases
made in August/September 2024:
openwhisk-runtime-java-1.20.0 was released on 2024-09-23.
openwhisk-runtime-php-1.21.0 was released on 2024-09-23.
openwhisk-runtime-python-1.20.0 was released on 2024-09-23
openwhisk-runtime-swift-1.19.0: was released on 2024-09-23
openwhisk-runtime-dotnet-1.18.0: was released on 2024-09-13
openwhisk-runtime-docker-1.16.0: was released on 2024-09-07
openwhisk-runtime-nodejs-1.23.0: was released on 2024-09-07
openwhisk-runtime-go-1.25.0: was released on 2024-09-05
## Community Health:
Although accomplishing the migration of the core system from Akka to
Apache Perkko was definitely a positive development, I see no fundamental
change to the overall health of the project since the May report,
which is repeated below.
There are sufficient PMC members paying attention to handle security issues,
vote on releases, and answer the relatively low volume of user questions that
we get (mainly via GitHub issues).
With the exception of a small number of academic research projects, users of
OpenWhisk have moved on to other serverless platforms. Given the significant
size of the code base, the lack of ongoing development effort, and the
declining usage of OpenWhisk, the project appears to be winding down and may
need to seriously discuss a transition to the Attic in 2026.

Attachment BD: Report from the Apache POI Project [Dominik Stadler]
Report from the Apache POI committee [Dominik Stadler]
## Description:
- Apache POI is a Java library for reading and writing Microsoft Office file
formats.
The Apache POI PMC also handles bugfixes for the XMLBeans project: XMLBeans
is a tool that allows you to map XML files to generated Java classes via
XML Schema definitions.
## Project Status:
- Overall: Low activity/Mostly maintenance only
- Activity on the project is low with no-one willing/able to invest time to
look for new committers. This project is in a mostly-maintenance mode
unless someone new starts to invest time.
- Note: None of the active committers wants to spend time looking for new
people, so suggesting to reach out to others or invest in "marketing" will
likely not lead to much improvement.
- The project still has enough active PMC members to vote on issues and
perform releases
## Membership Data:
Apache POI was founded 2007-05-16 (18 years ago) There are currently 41
committers and 34 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio
is roughly 6:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Marius Volkhart on 2020-12-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Marius Volkhart on 2020-12-19.
## Project Activity:
- Source code hosting on GitBox/GitHub works well as handling of
Pull-Requests became easier
- Discussion about moving from minimum Java 8 to Java 11/17 was done with
the result to do a release 5.5.0 with support for Java 8 soon and then
upgrade minimum requirements to Java 11 or 17.
## Project Release Activity:
- 5.4.1 was released on 2025-04-06.
- 5.4.0 was released on 2025-01-08.
- XMLBeans-5.3.0 was released on 2024-12-13.
## Community Health:
- There are a few bug-reports and user-questions which indicates that Apache
POI is still in use. Questions via email or on Stackoverflow usually get
answers.
- Bug-numbers slowly increase over time. Some newly reported issues are
fixed, but we usually get more bugs/questions reported than are addressed
by the small number of active committers, so some bugs do not get attention
any more.
- We have a very small number of active committers. There are very few
potential candidates and no-one plans to spend effort to go looking for new
ones.
### XMLBeans
- It seems there are is a small but active set of users of XMLBeans besides
Apache POI itself.
- Bug influx for XMLBeans is very low in general because it is a stable
project in maintenance-only mode.
## Bug Statistics:
### Apache POI
- 635 bugs are open overall (+8)
- Having 146 enhancements (+3)
- Thus having 489 actual bugs (+5)
- 121 of these are waiting for feedback (+1)
- Thus having 368 actual workable bugs (+4)
- 0 of the workable bugs have patches available (-3)
- Distribution of workable bugs across components: {XSSF=108, HSSF=80, SS

XML Security in Java and C++
## Project Status:
Current project status: The Java project is actively maintained and PRs are
getting merged and releases made.
Issues for the board: Nothing to report
## Membership Data:
Apache Santuario was founded 2006-06-27 (19 years ago)
There are currently 18 committers and 7 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:4.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Daniel Kulp on 2018-10-01.
- No new committers. Last addition was Joze Rihtarsic on 2024-05-14.
## Project Activity:
Low activity this quarter. Some dependency updates were merged as well as a
bug fix contributed by a user. We will likely get releases out over the next
quarter with this and another one or two fixes.
## Community Health:
Apache Santuario is a mature and stable project that has reached a point
where not too many fixes are required, as it is a set of implementations
of some specifications that are quite old now. It is actively managed by
the PMC

Attachment BI: Report from the Apache SDAP Project [Nga Thien Chung]
## Description:
The mission of Apache SDAP is the creation and maintenance of software related
to an integrated data analytic center for Big Science problems
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache SDAP was founded 2024-04-16 (2 years ago)
There are currently 22 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Grace Llewellyn on 2024-06-23.
- No new committers. Last addition was Truc Nguyen on 2025-01-18.
## Project Activity:
Last SDAP release was 1.4.0 on 2024-11-04.
Over the summer, Riley Kuttruff mentored a summer intern on one of the
projects that utilizes SDAP to develop a service for handling insitu datasets
(as well as, potentially, polygonal datasets (ie, census data)) leveraging
Apache Sedona and GeoParquet.
The goal of this was to replace the existing insitu service such projects
have been using, as it would not be practical to refactor them into a state
compatible with release under the SDAP project.
The proof of concept developed over the course of this internship showed
great promise, and is a high-priority item to be explored for future
integration into the project.
## Community Health:
Since last quarter, dev@sdap.apache.org had 4 new threads.
### Contributors
Since last quarter, the SDAP community has merged 3 PR and created/updated
3 Jira issues.
The SDAP community has kept up with its monthly community meetings during which
members recognize that activity has been low. Members recognize that SDAP is
overdue for a new release and have discussed changes that should go into a near-
term 1.5.0 release. However, progress is slow going as most active SDAP
contributors work on NASA funded projects that are impacted by budget cuts.
Contributions to SDAP are expected to increase as stability is regained and new
projects that plan to leverage SDAP start in earnest.

umbrella: SedonaDB, a high-performance single-node database engine for
geospatial data, and SpatialBench, a benchmark suite designed to evaluate and
compare geospatial SQL analytics performance across different database
systems.
## Community Health:
The Sedona community continues to thrive with strong contributor engagement
and growing visibility. In the past quarter, several new contributors joined and
actively submitted numerous PRs, reflected by the sharp increase in activity
across the issues and dev mailing lists. The newly launched SedonaDB
repository gained over 300 GitHub stars within two months, demonstrating
strong community interest. In recognition of outstanding contributions, we
added two new committers and one new PMC member to the project.

Attachment BL: Report from the Apache Serf Project [Daniel Sahlberg]
## Description:
The mission of the Apache Serf project is creating and maintaining of software
related to HTTP and associated protocols.
## Project Status:
The project has sufficient PMC oversight.
There are no threats to the sustainability or resilience of the project,
although the project is in general very much dormant due to lack of
need/requirements from our users.
The project has no requests for the Foundation.
## Membership Data:
Apache Serf was founded 2015-08-18 (10 years ago).
There are currently 17 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:8.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Graham Leggett on 2025-06-28.
- No new committers. Last addition was Graham Leggett on 2025-06-28.
## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
* 1.3.10 was released on 2023-05-31.
* 1.3.9 was released on 2016-08-31.
## Community Health:
Serf and Subversion have a significant overlap of committers and PMC members
and Subversion is the only (known) open source project using Serf. New
features in Subversion are therefore the primary driver for development in Serf.
After significant activity last quarter, activity died down due to lack of time.
There are still plans for making a new minor release in the near future.
Our community is fully volunteer-driven and we would like to thank
everyone for their support.

Attachment BP: Report from the Apache SIS Project [Martin Desruisseaux]
## Description:
The mission of Apache SIS is the creation and maintenance of software providing
data structures for developing geospatial applications compliant with the model
of OGC/ISO international standards.
## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing with high activity from 3 developers
(not all visible yet on the code repository).
Issues for the board: how to help to attract more participants
(see "community health" below).
## Membership Data:
Apache SIS was founded 2012-09-19 (13 years ago)
There are currently 22 committers and 17 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Alexís Manin on 2021-05-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Bruno P. Kinoshita on 2021-06-23.
## Project Activity:
Apache SIS 1.5 has been released last month. It was two years after the previous
release (1.4), which is admittedly too long. This delay was not caused by
inactivity, but by difficulty to focus the work on the most blocking issue
(upgrade of EPSG dependency, which had structural changes). Unfortunately, the
SIS 1.5 release arrived too late for Apache Sedona, which decided to keep their
LGPL dependency in their latest release. The Sedona developers asked for a 1.4.1
release for fixing a bug in SIS 1.4 considered as blocking, but at that time we
thought that removing from SIS 1.5 roadmap all tasks other than EPSG upgrade
would allow us to deliver SIS 1.5 in time. It has not been the case.
A third developer is becoming more active, but his work is on a clone
for now [1]. A pull request will be prepared after more review.
Regarding the difficulty to build SIS, work on Maven 4 made great progress.
The Maven Compiler Plugin 4.0.0-beta-3 is now fully capable to compile SIS,
and work on Maven JAR Plugin is in progress. The current state of full Java
module support in Maven is summarized at [2]. After all items on that list
have been completed, we will be able to switch back the SIS build from
Gradle to Maven with no more hacks.
A question on the SIS developers mailing list about whether we should switch
issues tracking from JIRA to GitHub received positive answers [3]. There is
apparently a consensus that it would help the project's visibility.

[2] https://s.apache.org/dtplk
[3] https://lists.apache.org/thread/1l3l4jog2zv15j7ph0s7jz1vz5kz9jpv
## Community Health:
Communication with Apache Sedona happened on a private channel of Slack,
and stopped after the end of the free trial period used by SIS developers.
We don't know if Sedona still consider the use of Apache SIS as a partial
replacement of current LGPL dependency, neither if the SIS 1.5 release
addressed the issue that Sedona faced with SIS 1.4.
There is some aspects in which the board may help:
* What should we do about PMC members inactive for years? We have done
roll calls in the past, but refrained to move to emeritus anyone who
didn't replied with this request.
* How to attract contributors on documentation? SIS has a developer guide [4]
for trying to help users and contributors, but this guide has not been
updated for years. Contributing to this documentation may be a useful step
before contributing to actual code (because it may help to understand the
international standards followed by SIS, which are not simple),
but this is usually not the kind of tasks that contributors like to do.

- Conferences: Community Over Code(https://communityovercode.org) is one of
the major conferences on search (from the Apache Software Foundation
community), There were many talks about Apache Solr (or partially referring
to it with interesting ideas):
*Search Hackathon, organised by David Smiley and Nazerke Seidan
*Achieving zero downtime and zero cost index upgrade in Apache Solr, Rahul
Goswami
*Query Alerting (with a Little Help from Apache Solr), Luke Kot-Zaniewski
*Modernizing Metrics in Apache Solr: A New Path for Observability, Matthew
Biscocho
*Using Modern NLP Models from Apache OpenNLP with Solr, Eric Pugh, Jeff
Zemerick
*Bring in the Robots!, Eric Pugh
*Exploratory Data Analysis with Solr, Christopher Ball
- Dense Vector Group: Following an idea of a contributor (Kevin Liang), we
kept going with the dense vector group initiative, meeting monthly. I'm
personally coordinating it via Jira
(https://i
ssues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?projectKey=SOLR&rapidView=633),
and we have seen a lot of activity with many Pull Requests merged, targeting
Solr 10.
- New book on Apache Solr "Inside Apache Solr and Lucene: Algorithms and
Engineering Deep Dive" by Rauf Aliev :
https://solr.apache.org/resources.html#solr-books
The community feels healthy, active, and with new contributors (that hopefully
will become committers and PMC members).

- Kuznetsov Nikolay was added as committer on 2025-10-31
## Project Activity:
Still patching our way toward a solid 6.0 release. We've pulled in a ton of
fixes since our last RC, and expect to put up a new one shortly. A lot of
features and fixes are merging daily, with involvement from many new
contributors.
As always, our PMC and Committer rosters are mostly disengaged individuals who
we wish could be set to some form of "inactive" status officially/publicly. In
general, the software itself is moving along steadily, and we're already
working on implementations of our new Extensions framework and MCP service.
7.0 is going to be a Big Deal.
If anything, our biggest struggle is that we have a lot of usage, which means
a lot of Github activity and security issue reporting, but have a seemingly
limited number of people willing to engage in the more operational aspects of
managing this incoming traffic.
## Community Health:
In trying to raise awareness, we've been hitting the conference circuit. Aside
from Community over Code, we've had a presence at IBM TechXchange, and most
recently OSA CON. We're always open to more opportunities for
evangelism/press/speaking/blogs/podcasts/etc., if there are any to recommend.
Slack is up to 21.5K members, GitHub is only a few Stars away from hitting
69K.
The project is growing, and getting better by the day. The main goal now is to
raise awareness and find more people who are willing to engage/volunteer in
managing it more attentively.

# Apache Teaclave Board Report - November 2025
## Description
Apache Teaclave provides SDKs for building memory-safe applications on Trusted
Execution Environments (TEEs).
## Project Status
**Status:** New Apache Teaclave graduated as a Top-Level Project on August 21,
2025. Since graduation, the community has:
1. (1st report) Completed the transition to TLP infrastructure, including
GitHub repositories, distribution servers, website updates, and project
documentation.

Attachment BZ: Report from the Apache TomEE Project [David Blevins]
## Description:
Apache TomEE delivers enterprise application containers and services based
on, but not limited to the Enterprise JavaBeans Specification and Java
Enterprise Edition Specifications.
## Health
Overall contributions are still very low for a project of our scope. Roughly
30 commits from 3 committers in the 2 months since last report.
In July we saw our first PR from a non-committer all year. There have been
no new PRs from new contributors or non-committers in the last 2 months.
## Activity
Latest activity has been around starting a branch for the implementation of
Jakarta EE 11 and TomEE 11. The main branch is still dedicated to TomEE 10.x
as of now.
A significant portion of the early work involves deciding which Java versions
will be supported and work associated with the removal of the Java Security
Manager in Java 21. Additionally, there is work associated with tracking the
progress of our various dependencies such as CXF, MyFaces, OpenJPA and
OpenWebBeans.
All this work is early. We have a number of failing tests due to security
manager changes. Switching the main branch from TomEE 10 to TomEE 11 may be
delayed until the build is once again passing. Discussion there has started.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 13 PMC members.
- Last PMC addition Markus Jung on July 23rd, 2025
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 35 committers.
- Last committer added was Markus Jung on September 12th, 2024
- Previous committer added was Thomas Andraschko on March 25th, 2024
## Releases:

Attachment CB: Report from the Apache Training Project [Justin Mclean]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Training is the creation and maintenance of software
related to training materials for Apache projects and the Apache Software
Foundation
## Project Status:
Current project status: New
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Training was founded 2025-08-20 (2 months ago)
There are currently 18 committers and 5 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members (project graduated recently).
- No new committers were added.
## Project Activity:
Since the last report, Apache Training has created more training content. New
slide decks have been produced covering community building, voting and
consensus, ASF governance, podling orientation, banding and identity, and
vendor neutrality. Other content created included interactive
scenarios/stories for mentors in the ASF incubator.
## Community Health:
The community is small but active. Contributor activity has been steady, with
a couple of committers regularly involved and a consistent flow of
contributions. There was not much discussion on the mailing list this month,
and although activity is higher than last quarter, we have not had any
contributions from people not previously involved in the project.

Attachment CC: Report from the Apache TsFile Project [Jialin Qiao]
## Description:
The mission of Apache TsFile is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a columnar storage file format designed for time series data
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with high activity.
Issues for the board: Is there a standard convention
for publishing the Python dependency package of
tsfile on PyPI? Currently, it’s being published under a community
contributor’s personal account.
## Membership Data:
Apache TsFile was founded 2023-11-15 (2 years ago)
There are currently 21 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 7:6.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Gaofei Cao on 2023-11-15.
- No new committers. Last addition was Xinhao Gu on 2025-04-22.
## Project Activity:
### Recent releases:
- 1.1.2 was released on 2025-09-08.
- 2.1.1 was released on 2025-08-18.
- 2.1.0 was released on 2025-07-11.
### Main work of project:
We’ve released two minor versions to fix some issues. The new 2.x interfaces
are mainly designed for the table model. In the near future, we plan to unify
the write and query interfaces, which means the tsfile read/write layer will
need to support both the tree and table models. To achieve this, we need to
explore a way to automatically convert between models — mapping the original
tree-model files to the table model — so that the new interfaces can read and
write tsfile files generated by the tree model (i.e., version 1.x).
## Community Health:
The activity of the development mailing list has seen a slight decline
recently, because there was a long holiday in China for the National Day and
Mid-Autumn Festival.

## Description:
The mission of Apache Whimsy is the creation and maintenance of software
related to tools that help automate various administrative tasks or information
lookup activities
## Project Status:
Current project status: Dormant
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Whimsy was founded 2015-05-19 (10 years ago)
There are currently 13 committers and 11 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:6.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Dave Fisher on 2025-07-15.
- No new committers. Last addition was Dave Fisher on 2025-07-16.
## Project Activity:
Project activity is low and is mostly about policy corrections. Generally
little activity occurs, the tools are mature. The Board Agenda Tool has
replaced the Whimsy Reporting tool although the reporter tool managed by
Comdev needs to start submitting reports to agenda.apache.org.
## Community Health:
Community is just healthy enough to fix any problems that may arise. Since
Whimsy is a "Standing Committee" which never releases software the need for
a roll call with three +1 is not critical.

active committers. Some less active PMC members continue to monitor the
project and respond to queries on security issues as needed. Mailing list,
GitHub, and JIRA activity have been moderate for Xerces-J and very low for
Xerces-C.
