4. Executive Officer Reports

    A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]

       It's February, which for me translates into attending FOSDEM, and enjoying the
       many conversations during the hallway track. I was surprised about how quickly
       the yearly Foundations dinner prior to FOSDEM filled up, and for that reason
       was unable to attend.  I did get to sit down for dinner conversations with a
       sizeable group of ASF people in Brussels. I enjoyed the clarity in which
       regulators actually presented at FOSDEM.  In the Public Affairs report this is
       described in more detail.

       Most of my time has gone to the members meeting process.  We are already
       seeing a healthy number of director nominees, as well as a double digit number
       of member nominations.

    B. President [Ruth Suehle]

       As Dirk notes in his Public Affairs report, Open Source Week leading up to
       FOSDEM has become absolutely packed with important conversations, particularly
       related to policy and upcoming implementation, as well as general
       inter-foundational cooperation.

       This year I represented the ASF at the second annual EU Open Source Awards, on
       a panel at the EU Open Source Policy Summit, and in a panel at FOSDEM. (Not to
       mention the countless "hallway track" encounters!) It was great to see so many
       ASF folks in attendance and to join many of them for dinner on Saturday night.

       You all received a thread about our search for further pro bono legal support.
       No other notes for this report, just noting that it's in progress there.

       Budget area owners all have begun planning for the FY27 budget.

       Code of Conduct work /is/ progressing, but got a bit delayed this month by a
       lot of other things going on. As mentioned last month, I started a thread with
       the folks who had asked about the status of it or been working on it at some
       point so they could come together and work on the same thing at the same time.
       I've recommended that they take input from the broader membership soon.



       Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 11.

    C. Treasurer [Craig McClanahan]

       Normal operations continue, with a couple of process notes to mention:
       * Our current accountant at IgniteSpot will be leaving at the end of February.
         The good news is that we get to keep the person doing most of the day-to-day
         work for us, who will also be training whoever is assigned to our account
         next.
       * Next week, I will be meeting with a potential firm to perform an audit for
         us, which we are definitely in need of.

Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure  [Danny Angus]

General
=======

VP Infra and HBase met to discuss the issue raised at the last Board meeting,
and have established a path forward.

Buildbot migration away from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to a new VM on 24.04 LTS in a
different data center was completed on February 9th 2026 without incident.

MFA Efforts
===========

MFA efforts have been slowed by the emergence of some problems during an
upgrade to the latest version of Authentik. These problems are related to
legacy ASF LDAP design decisions, with priority work shifting to addressing
technical debt and LDAP design patterns which are incompatible with the newer
versions of Authentik. These issues are expected to be resolved and testing
continuing towards the end of the month.

Other News
==========

Infra will be retiring the ReviewBoard service as of 31 March. This tool has
been largely supplanted by other ticketing and code review systems, and all
projects previously using it have either moved to the Attic or switched to
other systems.

As we prepare for the migration of our Jira and Confluence instances away from
self-hosted to the Cloud, we continue to perform small migrations of Jira
Projects and Confluence spaces to a test cloud instance. We are working with
Atlassian on recommended paths forward and pre-migration checklists of things
that need to get done in preparation. There is going to be an increase in
communications in this area to projects via infra mailing lists and also
project dev lists as needed. A call for test projects last year did not get
any response so Infra will be targeting specific projects to ask for testing.

Activity surrounding the Annual Members' Meeting is slowly ramping up as we
are approaching the date of the meeting. Infra is rotating the meeting duties
as usual, to ensure the knowledge of the systems are as widespread as possible
within the staff.

Community News
==============

Infra's next Roundtable will be March 4, 1800 UTC, in the ASF Slack space.
The main topic will introduce new tools for coping with the increase in
distributed abuse and attacks on ASF infrastructure. See
https://infra.apache.org/roundtable for how to join the Roundtable channel and
take part in the monthly meetings.

Infra will be sharing a series of presentations and events at Community Over
Code Glasgow, and will have an array of stickers and other takeaways at its
hallway table (which is also an excellent place to have a useful conversation
with an Infra team member).


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Tooling  [Dave Fisher]

# Tooling

This month's report will take a different approach as we are celebrating the
first anniversary of our first staff member.

## Staff highlights

### Sean B Palmer

Sean started on February 1, 2025. He has mostly worked on the Apache Trusted
Releases (ATR) platform. He helped the Infrastructure team extensively on the
MFA implementation. He takes meticulous notes on his daily activity which was
incredibly helpful in writing our annual report and blog post.

### Thomas Neidhart

Thomas started on March 1, 2025. He helped establish our initial frameworks.
He then did brilliant and quick work reshaping and completing the core
functionalities of the Board Agenda Tool (BAT). Even though he resigned from
his staff position effective October 3 he has continued to support additional
work on the BAT as an ASF Member volunteer.

### Andrew Musselman

Andrew started about November 1, 2025 as a temporary staff member while we
continued to search for Thomas's replacement. I was intrigued with his idea of
using Agentic AI to analyze software. He has been the main force as we have
iterated on ASVS security analysis of ATR (and now ASF-Quart).

### Alastair McFarland

Alastair joined the staff on December 7, 2025. By happenstance he was
committer #10,000. He has been fantastic so far working on SBOM generation,
dependency analysis, and validation. He also has set up GitHub workflows to
help with publishing workflows to the NX3 upgrade of repository.apache.org.

## Apache Trusted Releases (ATR)

Our current development focus includes the following tasks.

1. Extending our ASVS security review to include ASF Quart
2. Adding a quarantine phase to validate upload artifact archives as safe for
   expansion and free from bombs, path traversal, duplicate paths, etcetera
3. Scenarios where committers are release managers
4. Preparing for a quick Alpha 3 in March.

## Board Agenda Tool (BAT)

There is now a tested api for reporter.apache.org to access. The reporter will
be enabled after this board meeting.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 6: Report from the VP of Conferences  [Brian Proffitt]

CFP for Community Over Code Glasgow 2026 was announced on February 10[1],
along with the CFP for the co-located Lakehouse Day[2]. Lakehouse Day is a
standalone event dedicated to all things related to open lakehouse
technologies under the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) umbrella, with content
supporting Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, Apache Parquet, Apache Gravitino,
Apache Polaris (incubating), and more. Lakehouse Day, which will happen
October 10, is one of two co-located events with this year's Community Over
Code, the other being Airflow Contributor Days[3], a more user-focused
embedded event taking place during the main conference.

CFPs for Community Over Code, Airflow Contributor Days, and Lakehouse Day will
all close on March 20.

The prospectus for all of these events should be ready very soon. I am please
to report we already have interest from a large tech company for sponsorship
this year.

Attachment 7: Report from the Apache Travel Assistance Committee  [Gavin McDonald]

Current Events
==============

Applications for Community over Code 2026 being held in Glasgow opens up this
Friday 20th February.

Waiting on an official announcement for Community over Code Asia after which
we will also open up applications for that one.

Monthly Meetings
================

Monthly meetings will resume in March.

TAC app is primed and ready for Glasgow.

Future Events
=============

C/C Glasgow C/C Asia

Short/Medium Term Priorities
============================

Keeping an eye out for other smaller events to support. Berlin Buzzwords is
one we have supported before and if we have budget would like to have some
people attend that one.

Post surveys for Bratislava, Hangzhou, Denver, Beijing and Minneapolis still
to be done.

Mailing List Activity
=====================

Conversations begin around the upcoming events. Time to sort out who will
'lead' each event as tac coordinator.

Membership
==========

No changes to the Committee this month.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 8: Report from the VP of Diversity and Inclusion  [Daniel Gruno]

The actual contents of this report, those of note anyway, have been delayed
due to the intended email to ASF PMCs not going out as planned.
The email is being reworded to not refer to events that passed between the
time it should have gone out and now, but once the discussion is in motion, I
will be happy to give an update to the board at any given time, should they
want one.

Attachment 9: Report from the VP of Data Privacy  [Christian Grobmeier]


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 10: Report from the VP of Public Affairs  [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

* Open Source Week Brussel - 2026

The weekend of FOSDEM is getting increasingly padded on both sides; with the
Open Source Summit (for policy makers), Code & Compliance (for the
implementation details of the CRA, PLD and so on) and a range of workshops and
events around horizontal/vertical standards, incident handling and general
inter-foundation synchronisation.

Feedback from 3 member-states and several policy makers was that the ASF was
both very visible and engaged with the right tone of voice at the various
events. With knowledgeable, helpful people. So compliments to everyone ! Thanks
!

Also of interest was the presence of policy staff, both at the events and at
FOSDEM, from parts of the member state ministries and EU DG's that are
traditional are generally well connected to the industry representatives. It
seems that they are now pro-actively trying to get the information they need -
as opposed to waiting for a lobbyist do their work.

On the down-side; some of this has lead to an Digital Commons European Digital
Infrastructure Consortium (DC-EDIC) -- a legal/funding instrument - that by
design excludes the likes of; yet is then used very effectively as a
hand-waving solution to things like long term cost & maintenance (of open
source).

* CRA

Main piece of news is that politicians, policy makers and the (national)
regulators (and compliments to Germany for saying so formally, on stage, with
the Adler sigil/crest visible) are now all aligned & vocal. Will all the
refinements, implementing acts and what not falling `in our favour'. As
evidenced by the FAQ on https://cra.orcwg.org/ (and I expect the few items
that are 'TBD' or that wait official confirmation to no longer change
materially).

And all of them having the same message; the entire burden is on (commercial)
Manufacturers that place things on the market; private individuals, hobbyist
and informal open source are out of scope; and only not for profit foundations
that are mature enough can be open source stewards that voluntary can choose
to help their downstream if they choose to (but if not - the issue&liability
sites entirely with the downstream manufacture). And if they do that - they
certain things have to be in place
(https://orcwg.org/files/cra/resources/white-paper-on-open-source-software-stewards-and-cra.pdf
is propably the best document). But if, and only if they do so.

MSP/1025 (revision of the normative bodies and their relation to
regulation/industry)

Current normative open standards (i.e. the standards you need to comply with,
say in engineering or for products, in order to comply with the law) are very
inaccessible to open source developers; and the processes by which they are
created are even less accessible. Which is a problem - as these standards tend
to become global at some point. As as `law' are unavoidable.

Lots of people in the wider open source community -- including those at `wise'
large companies have worked on this. And the good news here is that at the
European Multi-Stakeholder Platform (MSP) on ICT standardization group - this
is now getting the right sort attention. With finally an understanding of the
fact that FRAND and similar simply leads to open source not implementing it -
and parts of the industry thus not able to innovate or not able to comply/ship
to that market. It is early days - but still positive. Especially as the
first step (2024 CJEU "Malamud" ruling (Case C-588/21 P)) is already in place.
So this is hopefully the start of the other shoe dropping.

* Tax & non-profit status

As more and more of our peer Open Source Foundations either move to Europe or
create a European `arm' or stand alone legal entity; the is more talk about
the tax issues; with not-for-profit/non-profit generally not in a position to
receive donations in money, time or code under a favourable tax regimen. Or
situations were things like fixing a bug or contributing to a security fix are
taxed higher - rather than incentivised. Isabel and I are working on a short
blog post to explain this issue in general - with also a call out to a
specific German effort to fix it in their tax-code (which is likely helpful
for most of Europe).

* Preparation next CRA Expert meeting, March 4th

Nothing to report - though it is clear from the agenda that the joint
reporting facilty is delayed (which is painful - but not a disaster - as it
also means that we can work with a specific memberstate to lock in the ability
to communicate in English (only) if needed), same delay issues for the
standards (with of the Horizontal standards possible only TC3 giving our
industry a presumption of conformity) and with the commission presenting a
report (that we contributed to) about attestation and the delegated act. It
also means that we probably should keep an eye on effort such as
https://www.gvip-project.org/ (with Jarek et.al already involved). Will work
with Ruth to see if we want to give that specific effort a boost.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 11: Report from the VP of ECMA Relations  [Piotr Karwasz]

Activity within ECMA TC54 task groups was limited in January, largely due to
preparations for FOSDEM.

In parallel, ASF Tooling has initiated a discussion on integrating the newly
ratified ECMA standards into Apache Trusted Releases:
https://github.com/apache/tooling-trusted-releases/issues/614


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 12: Report from the VP of W3C Relations  [Andy Seaborne]

The W3C JSON-LD working group has restarted. The new charter is under the
current W3C policies and processes.

The Foundation has agreed to the revised Royalty-Free patent policy and W3C
licensing for specifications.

Adam Soroka (ajs6f@) continues his participation on the working group.


-----------------------------------------
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 decreased
the number of outstanding issues to 22 (compared to 24 past month)

Justin Colannino was recommended to us as a legal resource that can help with
governance issues short-term and potentially other issues long-term. VP Legal
recommended supporting that engagement and so far it seems to be unopposed.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment 14: Report from the Apache Security Team Project  [Mark J. Cox]

                 'streampark', 'syncope', 'tapestry', 'tika', 'toree', 'zookeeper']

In total, as of 1st Feb 2026, we're tracking 359 (last months: 297, 268) open
issues across 89 projects, median age 79 days (last months: 105, 103). 91 of
those issues have CVE names assigned. 25 (last months: 20) of these issues,
across 13 projects, are older than 365 days.

* carbondata (Health amber): PMC is not responsive (Last update: 2026-01-14)

* fineract (Health amber): there are a number of open issues over a year old.
  The PMC is making progress with documentation and architectural changes, and
  more focus expected to close out these issues. (Last update: 2026-01-06)

* openoffice (Health amber): Several issues in OpenOffice are over 365 days
  old. They are not severe enough to warrant stopping distribution of
  OpenOffice. The November release fixed the most serious and complex ones,
  making space to now focus on the remaining issues. (Last update: 2026-02-05)

* spark (Health amber): the project has a backlog of security reports to be
  triaged (Last update: 2025-12-01)

* thrift (Health amber): the PMC does not appear to have the bandwidth to
  triage incoming reports in a timely fashion (Last update: 2026-02-05)

Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (14 years ago) There are currently 43
committers and 39 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 6:5. It is our practice to invite committers to be PMC members at the
same time. The difference between committers and PMC members is because some
PMC members have elected to go emeritus.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Kevin Rathbun on 2024-07-24.
- No new committers. Last addition was John Kucera on 2025-06-04.

## Project Activity:
Accumulo is currently working on several development efforts:
- Developing a new context classloader factory for use with Accumulo
  deployments, to facilitate user plugins being deployed to a remote location
  that is accessible to a running system
- Improving the access library that was placed in its own module for
  independent releasing, to implement Accumulo access controls
- Continuing to improve the stability of 2.1 and preparing for a 2.1.5 release
- Continuing work towards supporting more dynamic scaling in a future 4.0
  version
- Improving scripts and user command-line experience for version 4.0

### Releases:
- accumulo-2.1.4 was released on 2025-08-20.
- accumulo-2.1.3 was released on 2024-08-12.
- accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta was released on 2024-02-17.

## Community Health:
Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. The
low email traffic on the dev list reflects the community preference of using
GitHub projects and issues for planning and PRs for code discussions, but this
activity is also reflected in the notifications list, for anybody who prefers
not to engage on GitHub (this is rare for our community).

Attachment E: 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.

- 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. Some bug fixes have accumulated in the
Ant repo. A vote mail for 1.10.16 RC1 was sent out and based on user
feedback after testing, that RC1 was cancelled. We are in the process of
addressing the issue and we plan to release a newer version of Ant
in the coming weeks.

Ivy project has been seeing bug fixes too.


## 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 G: Report from the Apache Artemis Project  [Christopher L. Shannon]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Artemis is the creation of a high-performance,
multi-protocol open source messaging platform designed to power modern
microservices and cloud-native applications.

## Project Status:
Current project status: New
Issues for the board: None

## Membership Data:
Apache Artemis was founded 2025-11-18 (3 months ago)
There are currently 64 committers and 30 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
The Artemis TLP membership was initially a full copy of the ActiveMQ TLP
with the same PMC members and committers so everyone retained the same rights
as before the split.

Andy Taylor was added as a PMC member on 11th December 2025.

## Project Activity:
Apache Artemis was established on 2025-11-18 after splitting out from Apache
ActiveMQ. Since then, work continued towards completing the migration with aim
towards doing the first Apache Artemis releases. Business also continues as
usual in terms of addressing user bug reports and functionality requests.

Version 2.50.0 was released as the first release since establishing the TLP,
with various branding updates to the code and documentation to reflect the new
project. The Maven module groupId was switched to org.apache.artemis in the
artemis, artemis-console, and artemis-examples repos, with relocation poms
published to help alert users of the prior ActiveMQ Artemis modules to the
switch and allow for them to transition their builds over time.

A candidate for Apache Artemis 2.51.0 is currently under vote.

Releases:
* Apache Artemis Console 1.6.0 was released on 2026-02-03.
* Apache Artemis 2.50.0 was released on 2026-01-23.
* Apache Artemis Console 1.5.0 was released on 2026-01-13.

## Community Health:
The community is healthy and there continues to be little impact to users as
everything transitions to the new TLP.

We intended to have another set of minor releases this quarter to continue the
momentum for fixes and dependency updates, but it was pushed to the first
quarter of 2026.

As with the success of moving the Rust SDK out of the main Avro repo, we have
had some contributor interest in separating the PHP SDK.

## Community Health:

Mailing Lists:
- dev@avro.apache.org had 445 emails (+31% change)
- issues@avro.apache.org (mostly notifications) had 849 emails (+71% change)
- user@avro.apache.org continues to have very little traffic, 7 total

## Community Health:
Dev list traffic is slightly down, expected for winter holidays. The use of
the dev list to share design docs is looking very good.

We have moved all lists to unmoderated subscriber-only, because incoming spam
to moderate was overwhelming and far more than our real traffic, and it was
beyond our volunteer resources to look over every spam for those very few that
were legitimate messages.

Attachment N: Report from the Apache Cassandra Project  [Ekaterina Dimitrova]

## 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-four
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 prolific contributors, to an acquisition affecting a significant corporate contributor, to a change in the technology landscape that makes your 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.

We just added 1 new PMC member.

## Additional indicators of Project Health and
Growth this Quarter:

**Releases:** We shipped new versions of the:

- Cassandra server
- Java drivers
- Cassandra analytics

The project is very close to the alpha release of our next major release -
6.0. This will be a huge milestone. We formalized our release cadence plans
and alpha releases.

**Community:** The PMC supervised successful meetups. The project is going to
  have its own track at Community over Code EU 2026.

**Software grants:** The ASF received software grants from DataStax (IBM) for
  python-driver, cpp-driver, nodejs-driver, csharp-driver.  All finalized
  during this quarter.

## What can the Foundation do to more effectively make your project more
successful in its mission of providing software for the public good?

Nothing at this point.

We are currently collecting project ideas, with more than 50 ideas
already submitted. We have successfully applied as a mentoring
organization for GSoC 2026. Accepted organizations will be announced
next week. We hope to be selected and welcome enthusiastic contributors
this season.

### Apache Local Communities (ALC)

#### ALC Beijing
ALC Beijing held a team meeting to discuss Community Over Code Asia
2026 planning at the end of last year.

#### ALC Taipei
ALC Taipei continued strong engagement across technical and academic
initiatives.

Community members received recognition across ASF projects. Aaron Chen
was awarded PR of the Month by the Apache Airflow community for
improving developer workflows. Kuan-Hao became an Apache
Mahout committer and shared his open-source journey publicly.

Student teams from six universities are actively contributing to Apache
Mahout and submitted a proposal on Quantum Machine Learning to
SITCON 2026.

The chapter hosted meetups covering Apache Kafka configuration
discussions, Ray ecosystem insights, and research presentations on
vector indexing and mobile RAG implementations.

ALC Taipei also received international visibility through a Japanese
television feature highlighting open-source contributors and community
culture initiatives.

### Best Practices for Companies and ASF Projects
We merged a new content section on the ComDev website focused on best
practices for companies engaging with ASF projects. This section provides
guidance on why companies should participate in ASF projects, the
strategic benefits of involvement, and respectful ways to engage through
employment, sponsorship, advocacy, and community support. Thannks to
Rich Bowen for this valuable contribution. 

### FOSDEM Coordination
Discussions took place on the community mailing list regarding ASF
presence at FOSDEM. Volunteers coordinated staffing for the ASF stand,
encouraged project participation, and discussed logistics such as swag
and demos.

There was also a proposal to organize an ASF stand at FOSDEM 2026.
Community members expressed willingness to coordinate and support the
effort, and a stand request has been submitted.

## Community Health:
The dev@community.apache.org list had a 107% increase in traffic
(143 emails compared to 69). The gsoc@community.apache.org list
saw renewed activity with 109 emails, compared to 0 in the previous
quarter, largely driven by GSoC 2026 discussions.
Overall, this was an good quarter with engagement across
multiple initiatives, thanks to the continued efforts of our
community members.

## 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 with moderate activity (as usual)
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:
- Continued development on major features reaching maturity.
- This includes work for multiple point releases that should be landing in 
quicker-than-usual succession once the first of these lands. Part of the
stack-up is making sure we have a solid upgrading with backwards
compatibility story.
- Part of that work is supported by the Sovereign Tech Agency, which we
thank them for.

## Community Health:
Business as usual as far as we are concerned, which means slow but steady
progress over all.

Attachment R: 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: none

## Project Activity:
Development takes place for a 1.0.0 version with big architectural changes
and the removal of deprecated code parts.
Apart from that we intend to release a 0.18 soon.

## Community Health:
We had some interactions concerning a possible Grails plugin,
that resulted in the architectural changes adressed in the 1.0.0 branch
(a more modular architecture should ease the release of tool specific-
integrations such as Maven, Gradle, CLI et.al.)

Apart from that there was a performance issue solved by a contribution.

Besides questions were answered on how to integrate 0.17 properly.

Overall the situation remains that the PMC is relatively small.
Questions are answered nevertheless.

to our new DataSketches Rust library as well as fixing errors and 
inconsistencies across our other languages! This is huge! We have added
Zili Chen to our PMC as well as 3 more committers! Welcome!

We just released DataSketches-Rust 0.2.0 and working on a 0.3.0 to be 
released soon.

## 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.

We continue to get interest from scientists around the world who
offer ideas for new sketches for our library based on recent research
and consult with us on improving the mathematical rigor of our sketches.


-----------------------------------------
Attachment T: 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 immediate issues requiring board attention at this time.
 But I figured that activity is very low again, so I gonna report next month again.

## Activity
 Only a few minor commits. But that's expected from a very mature project.
 The important point is that we are still easily able to roll releases, thus
 I'm not worried.

## 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

Attachment Y: Report from the Apache Dubbo Project  [Jun Liu]

## Description:
Apache Dubbo is an easy-to-use RPC framework that provides different
language implementations, service discovery, traffic management,
observability, security, tools, and best practices for building
enterprise-ready microservices.

## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing
Issues for the board: none

## Membership Data:
Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (7 years ago)
There are currently 118 committers and 32 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 4:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Yu Yu was added to the PMC on 2025-12-29
- No new committers. Last addition was Xuetao Li on 2025-11-01.


## Project Activity:
Our development efforts have been primarily focused on the 3.3.x series, which
is our main evolving branch. A key release in this series, version 3.3.6,
introduces substantial enhancements and optimizations, particularly in areas
like communication protocols and routing rules.

Separately, we rolled out a maintenance release, version 3.2.19, which is a
targeted update containing a single fix for a TLS-related bug.

Furthermore, our hessian-lite component, which serves as the serialization
layer for our RPC communication, has been updated to version 4.0.5. This new
version addresses several critical issues within the Hessian serialization
process.

## Community Health:
Over the last quarter, community contributions were predominantly driven by a
core group of 3-5 PMC members and committers, who accounted for over 80% of
the total codebase contributions. Since the open-source of Dubbo project, we
have consistently benefited from a dedicated core of maintainers who lead its
development and evolution, the core active members changed over time, but we
always managed to have such a 'active team'. Furthermore, some of these key
maintainers actively promote the adoption of Dubbo within their respective
companies, which in turn helps secure their ability to make sustained
contributions to the open-source community.

In contrast to the strong engagement from our core maintainers, our efforts in
finding new contributors have been less successful over the past few
quarters. There has been a noticeable decline in new contributor engagement
compared to the same period last year. Moving forward, I believe the community
must place a greater emphasis on developing new contributors. We need to focus
on guiding more open-source enthusiasts to participate in feature development
and the overall growth of the project.

Activity was very low in recent months.

## Health report:

Activity was very low in recent months, though such periods are not unusual
for this project. User questions 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.

consistency, UI improvements, code hardening and bug fixing.

## Community Health:
The growth in community activity that we saw earlier appears to be continuing.
New contributors have shown up, are sticking around and remain active. The
process has not started yet but we would like to start onboarding some of them
and give the committer status. Our last release had contributions by 18
contributors, of which 3 were first time contributors. This is a little bit
lower than the previous releases, probably partially due to the winter break.
Activity on github discussions, bug reports and feature requests remains high.

Attachment AH: Report from the Apache HTTP Server Project  [Joe Orton]

## Description:
The mission of HTTP Server is the creation and maintenance of software related 
to Apache Web Server (httpd)

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, low activity
Issues for the board: None

## Membership Data:
Apache HTTP Server was founded 1995-02-27 (31 years ago)
There are currently 126 committers and 54 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 7:3.

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 2.4.66 in December 2025, following up on the 2.4.64
and 2.4.65 releases in July. The new release fixed four outstanding security
issues, all rated Low or Moderate severity, and brought updated versions of
mod_md and mod_http2.

There was brief discussion of another 2.4.x release, with a few more fixes
queued up to backport from the trunk.

Since there has been recent discussion of handling security response to
AI-generated reports for high profile open source projects, I though it worth
noting that so far we have rejected a small number of low quality
LLM-generated reports coming in to security@, but we've also had some high
quality reports finding genuine new vulnerabilities. This seems overall
healthy and the additional workload for committers is not unreasonably high.

## Community Health:
As per the previous quarter, mailing list activity for both dev@ and @users
was fairly muted, while GitHub PRs continue to be popular with new
contributors. The open Bugzilla bug trend is increasingly looking unmanageable
and we should likely consider a batch update closing stale reports, as we've
done successfully in the past.

Attachment AM: Report from the Apache Incubator Project  [Justin Mclean]

# Incubator PMC report for February 2026

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.

In January, there are 30 podlings under incubation. One podling,
HugeGraph, graduated to become a Top-Level Project. No podlings retired
during the month. There were no additions or removals to IPMC
membership.

Mailing list traffic during the month focused primarily on release
voting, and a new proposal discussion (Casbin), and ongoing graduation
discussions. Multiple podlings held release votes.

HoreDB is very likely to retire. Caldera failed to report and will be asked 
to report nest month.

Cloudberry did not get mentor signoff.

Overall, January was a steady month with continued release activity and
progress toward graduation without any other activity happening.

## Community

Burr is a lightweight in-process python framework that standardizes the
expression and execution of state machines as action-driven graphs, while
making graph             execution easily observable. It is particularly
suited for AI agent workflows,             simulations, and other dynamic
systems, and comes with a self-hostable observability UI             that
integrates with OpenTelemetry.

Burr has been incubating since 2025-05-24.

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

## Cloudberry

Cloudberry is an advanced and mature open-source Massively Parallel 
Processing (MPP) database, derived from the open-source version of Pivotal 
Greenplum Database®️ but built on a more modern PostgreSQL 14 kernel, 
whereas Greenplum is based on PostgreSQL 12. This upgrade brings enhanced 
enterprise capabilities, making Cloudberry well-suited for data 
warehousing, large-scale analytics, and AI/ML workloads.

Cloudberry has been incubating since 2024-10-11.

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

   1. Grow the contributor and community to ensure long-term sustainability.
   2. Publish a few more Apache releases following the ASF release 
processes.

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

  No.

## 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.

Attachment AT: Report from the Apache Libcloud Project  [Tomaž Muraus]

## Description

Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away differences among cloud provider APIs and provides a unified interface for interacting with compute, storage, load balancing, DNS, container, and backup services.

## Project Status

Current project status: At risk

The project continues to suffer from a lack of active committers and PMC members available to review contributions, process PRs, or shepherd releases.

In recent months, the current chair, Tomaz Muraus, has been largely inactive due to family and personal circumstances, and overall PMC activity has been very low. As a result, the 3.9.0 release vote, initiated in March 2025, received no binding votes and therefore could not be approved.

Two new PMC members were recently added, and efforts are underway to reactivate the project. A new committer nomination is also under discussion.

## Project Activity

During recent months, the project has received very few contributions on GitHub (https://s.apache.org/h4y97). Activity has improved slightly in the past month as newly added PMC members have begun to re-engage.

A notable contribution was a long-standing community PR that removed approximately 18 outdated drivers belonging to cloud providers that have closed or are no longer active.

A new vote for the 3.9.0 release has just been initiated. At the moment, we have two binding +1 votes, and we are awaiting additional binding votes.

## Community Health

As noted above, the project currently lacks sufficient active maintainers (committers and PMC members) to reliably review community contributions or handle the volume of incoming PRs.

Download and usage statistics indicate that the library still has a significant user base: https://s.apache.org/k7tug

Like Apache jclouds, Libcloud faces the challenge of being a "driver-oriented" project, where contributors often focus only on drivers they personally use, and fewer volunteers are willing to review or maintain drivers or core components unrelated to their own needs. This makes long-term maintenance more difficult.

## Membership Data

* Apache Libcloud was founded on 2011-05-19 (almost 15 years ago).
* There are currently 25 committers and 18 PMC members.
* The Committer-to-PMC ratio is approximately 3:2.

Community changes in the past quarter:

* Two new PMC members were added: Zili Chen and Miguel Caballer (2026-01-24).
* No new committers. The last committer addition was Dimitris Moraitis (2021-05-02).

Attachment AU: 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: None

## Membership Data:

No changes since the last report:

- Founded: 2003-12-17 (22 years ago)
- 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 November 2025–January 2026 quarter, the three active
components (Log4cxx, Log4net, and Log4j) showed overall low activity,
largely due to a heavy focus on security report triage.

### Log4cxx (activity: moderate)

- Releases:
  - 1.6.0 on December 14th, 2025
  - 1.6.1 on January 9th, 2026

### Log4j (activity: low)

- Public activity has stalled due to more than 40 low-quality
  AI-generated security reports received through the YesWeHack bug
  bounty program.
- The team is currently concentrating on preparing the 3.x release line.
- Released 2.25.3 on December 15th, 2025

### Log4net (activity: low)

- The Log4net team was highly involved in the triaging of security
  reports for all three projects.
- No releases in the quarter.
- Last release: 3.2.1 on October 22nd, 2025

## Community Health:

The community remains active, with issues and pull requests opened
daily.

However, the ongoing CTR vs. RTC discussion continues to divide the PMC,
and only a small number of committers per project regularly engage in
non-code activities such as user support, triage, and reviews.

## Description:
The mission of ManifoldCF is the creation and maintenance of software related
to Framework for connecting source content repositories to target repositories
or indexes.

## Issues:
Lack of interest and contributions from the community.
Trying to receive any feedback from the community and the PMC is practically impossible.

## Membership Data:
Apache ManifoldCF was founded 2012-05-15 There are currently 25
committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 5:3.

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 received a couple of little contributions recently but again I'm wondering if we should continue to work on 
this project or if we should stop and considering it for the Attic.

Justin sent a first message in the mailing list but we didn't receive any answer yet.

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 AZ: 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 (7 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 only project activity in this quarter was two small PRs to the core
OpenWhisk repo. One updated a dependency to pick up a fix for a CVE and the
other adjusted for command line argument changes in an updated version of
openssl.

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:
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 BA: Report from the Apache ORC Project  [William Hyun]

Apache ORC Project Report
Description
The mission of ORC is the creation and maintenance of software related to the smallest, fastest columnar storage for Hadoop workloads.

Project State
Ongoing, with moderate activity. While mailing list traffic has seen a dip this quarter, the project continues to maintain a steady release cadence for multiple supported versions.

Status and Community Health
The project remains healthy and technically productive, evidenced by the delivery of four maintenance releases this quarter. These releases focused on stability and expanding compatibility for other Apache communities. Although dev and issue mailing list traffic decreased by 28% and 48% respectively, this appears to be a seasonal fluctuation rather than a lack of oversight, as release activities remain consistent and technical support for downstream users continues.

Issues for Board Attention
There are no Board-level issues at this time.

Release Activity
The project has been active in maintaining its release cadence, with four releases delivered in January 2026:

- 2.2.2 was released on 2026-01-12.

- 2.1.4 was released on 2026-01-09.

- 2.0.7 was released on 2026-01-08.

- 1.9.8 was released on 2026-01-08.

Membership Data: Newest Committers and PMC Members

Attachment BC: Report from the Apache Perl Project  [Steve Hay]

## Description:
The mission of Perl is the creation and maintenance of software related to 
Dynamic websites using Perl

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, with low activity
Issues for the board: none

## Membership Data:
Apache Perl was founded 2000-03-10 (26 years ago)
There are currently 21 committers and 11 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Steve Hay on 2012-03-01.
- No new committers were added.

## Project Activity:
The last release was mod_perl-2.0.13 on 2023-10-21.

No urgent maintenance has been required but it's been a couple of years since
the last release so the time is perhaps coming soon to round up what changes
there have been and push out a new release.

## Community Health:
Mailing list traffic was up somewhat in the last quarter, but not due to any
particular problem. It's just the natural fluctuation in activity that we have
long seen.

Attachment BD: Report from the Apache Petri Project  [Greg Stein]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Petri is the creation and maintenance of software related
to assessment of, education in, and adoption of the Foundation's policies and
procedures for collaborative development and the pros and cons of joining the
Foundation

## Project Status:
Current project status: Dormant
Issues for the board: likely to ask for termination next month

## Membership Data:
Apache Petri was founded 2019-11-19 (5 years ago)
There are currently 5 PMC members in this project.

## Likely Termination
The project has five PMC Members and two have agreed that termination
is the best option for the project. An email to private@ is the next
step with specific attempt to content the other three for
confirmation. There is unlikely enough energy to continue, or to
attempt reconsideration of its original mission.

Note that the project assisted Apache Buildstream into the Foundation
some years ago, but has no other published material. It is unclear
whether the Apache Attic even makes sense given nothing for them to be
a caretaker for. There are some minor impacts in Whimsy to manage.

the consistent failover feature, improving CDC (Change Data Capture),
and support for the DynamoDB connector.

Recent releases:
  thirdparty-2.2.0 was released on 2025-12-10.
  5.3.0 was released on 2025-10-03.

37 JIRA tickets were opened and 30 were closed in the past quarter.

dev@phoenix.apache.org had a 28% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
(185 emails compared to 254), likely attributable to the holiday season.

The customary notable changes list will not appear in this report but will be
returning soon. 

## Community Health:
Overall community health is good. Most of the development is still done by our
core team of about a dozen active developers.

Attachment BG: 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 (19 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:
  - Version 5.5.0/5.5.1 were released with a number of bug-fixes and a few new
    features
  - Upgrading to minimum Java 11 started, we likely will go to Java 17 for the
    next major release 6.x

## Project Release Activity:
  - 5.5.1 was released on 2025-11-30.
  - 5.5.0 was released on 2025-11-15.
  - 5.4.1 was released on 2025-04-06.
  - 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

 - 634 bugs are open overall (-1)
 - Having 146 enhancements (+-0)
 - Thus having 488 actual bugs (-1)

- No new committers. Last addition was Peter Nguyen on 2025-10-31.

## Project Activity:
Sedona 1.8.1 was released on January 8-9, 2026. Key highlights include a new
Sedona Flink SQL module for distributed spatial analytics on Apache Flink, the
ability to register Sedona functions as built-in SQL functions to support
permanent SQL views, and STAC authentication support for both Python and Scala
APIs. New spatial functions were added including ST_ApproximateMedialAxis,
ST_StraightSkeleton, ST_Collect_Agg, and ST_OrientedEnvelope. The
GeoPandas-style API on Spark was expanded with new geometry operations.
Compatibility was improved for Spark 4.0 (Java 17) and Databricks Runtime 17.3
LTS. The Python project was modernized to use pyproject.toml and uv. The
release also includes multiple bug fixes and documentation improvements.

SedonaDB 0.2.0 was released on December 1, 2025. This is a major update to
Apache Sedona's single-node spatial analytics engine. It resolved 136 issues
with contributions from 17 developers. The release added 40 new spatial and
raster functions, GDAL/OGR spatial file format read support for formats like
Shapefile, GeoPackage, and FlatGeoBuf, GeoParquet 1.1 write support, initial
raster data type implementation, and Python user-defined function (UDF)
support. The build system was improved and the package was published to
crates.io. Performance was also enhanced with a refactored KNN join using a
new geo-index trait and lock-free geometry cache, updated ADBC and DataFusion
dependencies, and improved spatial predicate pruning.

SpatialBench 0.1.0 was released in December 2025. This is the initial release
of a standardized benchmark suite for geospatial SQL analytics performance. It
provides realistic synthetic test datasets with a star-schema data model, a
suite of 12 benchmark SQL queries covering spatial joins, distance queries,
aggregations, and point-in-polygon analysis. It supports multiple scale
factors and generates dialect-specific queries for SedonaDB, SedonaSpark,
DuckDB, GeoPandas, and Spatial Polars, enabling fair and reproducible
cross-engine comparisons.

Attachment BQ: 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 2025-06-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Graham Leggett on 2025-06-28.

## Project Activity:

Ongoing discussion about releasing the next minor release, Serf 1.5.0.

Development of a new error callback infrastructure, which aims to
provide more detailed feedback to other software that uses Serf. This
work was prompted by a need for better error reporting in Apache
Subversion.

Numerous other bug fixes, improvements, and general maintenance.

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 BV: Report from the Apache SIS Project  [Martin Desruisseaux]

## Description:
The mission of Apache SIS is to create and maintain software that provides
data structures for developing geospatial applications compliant with the
model of OGC/ISO international standards.

## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing with high activity
Issues for the board: cooperation with other project

## 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.

- 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 1.6 was released in January and addresses security issue
CVE-2025-68280, which was reported in December. This release was 4 months
after the previous release, which is a more satisfying release cadence that we
hope to maintain. Apache SIS is also used in a testbed of the Open Geospatial
Consortium with feedback that will be submitted to SIS when the testbed has
progressed more. At the same time, bug fixes and new features continue to be
committed on the main branch.

Contributions to Apache Maven also continued, with the goal of making Apache
SIS much easier to build after we completed Maven support of Java modules.
The Maven Compiler Plugin 4.0.0-beta-4 was released last week and is
feature-complete for the needs of SIS. The Maven JAR Plugin has a branch ready
to be submitted after the next release of Maven core [1]. The only remaining
essential work for SIS's needs is the Maven Surefire Plugin.

[1] https://github.com/apache/maven-jar-plugin/pull/508

## Community Health:
Apache SIS is a library, and therefore its success depends on adoption by
other projects. Apache Sedona was a good candidate, but they have chosen a
different path [2].

 past quarter (3584 emails compared to 3125)

dev@solr.apache.org had a 3% increase in traffic in the past quarter (315
emails compared to 305):

Furthermore, Community Over Code 2026 has been announced to happen in Europe
(Glasgow) and has a dedicated search track that aims to reunite a lot of
 Apache Solr committers in one place.

- Books: 'How Large Language Models Can Help Your Search Project' by
  Alessandro Benedetti has been published, it contains a dedicated Apache Solr
  chapter on AI features of Solr, one about Apache Lucene and in general there
  are many references to Apache Solr and use cases involving it.
- Conferences and events:
 - London Search Week (https://londonsearchweek.com/2025-2/) - organised by
   Sease in collaboration with the information retrieval specialist group at
   the British Computer Society, Charlie Hull and Olena Gorbatiuk. The many
   initiatives there involved Apache Solr discussions in one way or another
  (more details on specific events below)

(https://www.bcs.org/membership-and-registrations/member-communities/information-retrieval-spec
 ialist-group/conferences-and-events/search-solutions/search-solutions-2025/)
 is an interesting conference on search that includes a tutorial day and a
 main conference day. There were many talks mentioning Apache Solr and it was
 present in many networking discussions and at the tutorial day, as part to
 many live examples.
 - Apache Solr Hackathon, organised by Sease and lead by Alessandro Benedetti:
   6 students participated, all beginners, a lot of excitement and we ended up
   with a pull request for a bug-fix, a new feature design and a technical
   investigation of a bug.
 - Dense Vector Group: We kept going with the dense vector group initiative,
   meeting monthly. I'm personally coordinating it via Jira
(https://issues.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 and 10.1.

The community feels healthy, active, and with new contributors (that hopefully
will become committers and PMC members).

to entry, making it easier for newcomers to participate and for existing
contributors to stay engaged. Additionally, there is a need to expand our PMC,
which currently consists of only five members. With a small PMC, it can
sometimes be challenging to gather enough votes in a short timeframe,
particularly during holiday periods or when members are temporarily
unavailable.

Attachment CB: Report from the Apache Subversion Project  [Nathan Hartman]

## Description:

The Apache Subversion® version control system exists to be universally
recognized and adopted as an open-source, centralized version control
solution characterized by its reliability as a safe haven for valuable
data; the simplicity of its model and usage; and its ability to
support the needs of a wide variety of users and projects, from
individuals to large-scale enterprise operations.

## Project Status:

Current project status: Ongoing, mature.
Issues for the board: None at this time.

## Membership Data:

Apache Subversion was founded 2010-02-16 (16 years ago). Prior to
joining ASF, the project began in February of 2000 (26 years ago).
There are currently 90 committers and 48 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 Graham Leggett on 2025-07-12.
- No new committers. Last addition was Graham Leggett on 2025-07-13.

## Project Activity:

The most notable work begun during this quarter is preparation to
release Subversion 1.15.0, which will be the first release to contain
the new Pristines On Demand feature talked about in many earlier
reports. We hope to make the release during the next quarter.

We considered adding a webpage to list 3rd party support options. A
draft of such a page was added to the subversion-staging.apache.org
site but was later removed because the Subversion project has
historically avoided listing 3rd party support options.

Ongoing maintenance work on/in:

- Subversion's 1.14.x LTS release line (backports)

- Support newer releases of dependencies and 3rd party tools,
  including SWIG 4.4.0, expat 2.7.2+, utf8proc 2.11.3, lz4 1.10.0.

- Traditional autotools-based build system

- The more recently added CMake-based build system

- ra_serf (repository access over https via Apache Serf)

- XML handling and related test suite components

- Internal tooling used for preparing releases

- Subversion's test suite

Website improvements:

- Fix broken links.

- Make it easier to setup a local test server for editing and testing
  the subversion.apache.org website

Experimental work and/or work on future improvements:

- Better UTF-8 handling (on the 'utf8-cmdline-prototype' branch)

- Better testing of Serf error callbacks being considered in Apache
  Serf 1.5 (on the 'serf_error_callbacks' branch)

- Faster checksums via OpenSSL (an optional feature being considered
  for future 1.16 release)

- Alternative faster checksums via BCrypt (a built-in cryptography
  provider on Windows, also being considered for future 1.16 release)

- More efficient storage of Pristines (on the 'better-pristines'
  branch)

Improved handling of a 301 Moved Permanently reply from a Subversion
repository server over http/https.

Improved reporting of syntax errors in configuration files, such as
authz files (show the correct line number of the error).

Numerous other quality improvements.

## Community Health:

Activity tends to come in waves. After a slow late summer and early
autumn season, activity has picked up with preparations for the 1.15.0
release, experimental work and/or work on future improvements, and
much work in terms of maintenance and quality improvements. Developers
monitor the mailing lists and respond when needed. User questions
usually receive helpful responses on the mailing lists, from both
project developers and community members. The codebase, website, and
project infrastructure continue to be improved.

Our community is fully volunteer-driven and we would like to thank
everyone for their support.

Attachment CC: Report from the Apache Superset Project  [Maxime Beauchemin]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Superset is the creation and maintenance of software 
related to data exploration, analysis, visualization, and dashboarding

## Project Status:
Current project status: Alive and Kicking! Issues/awareness for the board:
• We applied for a Trademark a few days back, since there's another "Superset"
  product that recently appeard. We'll keep you posted if anything becomes an
  issue.
• We're still awaiting word on a couple of open CSP questions from Privacy@ so
  we can close out an issue and adopt the preferred Infra policy format. I'll
  follow up on the thread again.
* As always, seeking advice on how to mark Committers and PMC members as
  "Inactive" or perform a roll call to thin the roster of inactive members, if
  there's any updated guidance on this topic.


## Membership Data:
Apache Superset was founded 2020-11-17 (5 years ago) There are currently 75
committers and 38 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 5:3.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Mehmet Yavuz was added to the PMC on 2025-12-02
- Amaan Nawab was added as committer on 2025-12-19
- Alexandru Soare was added as committer on 2025-12-10

- Rafael Benitez was added as committer on 2026-02-01
- Richard Fogaca was added as committer on 2025-12-10

Evan Rusackas (me!) attended FOSDEM but was unaware that there was an official
ASF Speakers list - apparently this went out to the Members list, but perhaps
not to the PMC lists. Please continue to let non-members know about
opportunities to engage in ASF activities in conferences in the future, we'd
love to participate more. We'll be filing talks for Community over Code!

## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
6.0.0 was released on 2025-12-18.
5.0.0 was released on 2025-06-23.
4.1.2 was released on 2025-03-24.

772 PRs were merged on the Apache Superset repo from November 1, 2025 to
January 31, 2026.

Lots of SIPs in flight, and contributor working groups are in full swing
making them a reality!

## Community Health:
Surpassed 70K stars on Github, 22K members on Slack. This seems like linear
growth at this point, but we're optimistic things will ramp up as we complete
these large initiatives around Semantic Layers, Superset Extensions, and other
sweeping efforts in the Project. It's going to be an exciting year.

Docs have been improved a LOT, and the product is on a very healthy
trajectory. A variety of bots on the repo have been of great assistance!

Onward and upward!

## Project Activity:
Maintenance branch 3_0_X has likely reached EOL, last release 3.0.16 was cut.
4_0_X is now the maintenance branch. We expect at least the first milestone
release from the current master branch happening in the coming weeks. At that
point the current master branch will be renamed as 4_1_X so that master could
be dedicated to the next development phase, according to the current
discussion in dev@.

Security;
* CVE-2026-23794
* CVE-2026-23795

Recent releases:
* 4.0.4 was released on 2026-01-30.
* 3.0.16 was released on 2026-01-30.
* 4.0.3 was released on 2025-11-21.
* 3.0.15 was released on 2025-11-21.

## Community Health:
The user@ mailing list traffic with questions and support requests especially
from new users has recently increased, and topics seem all but trivial. This
looks as a sign of actual adoption rather than initial evaluation.

Discussion about planning for new releases is happening on dev@, especially
about coordination with external dependencies to cope with security updates.

## Project Activity:
On October 2025, rivet-3.2.7 was released, which has been withdrawn, due to
some issues discovered in the database connectivity driver (DIO), after the
release. The problems arose during the effort to re-implement the DIO driver
on top of the TDBC Tcl package. Rivet-3.2.8 was released on November 15,
fixing the problems of the withdrawn 3.2.7 version. We are still working on
making rivet Tcl 9 ready. The relevant repository branch compiles and runs
with Tcl 9.x under Apache Httpd, but some further work is needed before a
release can be made (probably as rivet 3.3.0).

## Community Health:
The mailing lists have been more active than usual in this reporting period,
as two releases and one withdrawn have happened during this period, with
discussions concerning issues, fixes and Tcl 9 related issues.

Attachment CG: 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 4 committers in the 3 months since last report.

We saw two PRs this quarter from new faces.  Small milestone, but hopeful.
One of them has been merged and the other identified a legitimate bug but the
solution was not spec compliant.  This contributor has show interest in
pursing a better approach.

## Activity

The main branch has been updated from TomEE 10 to TomEE 11 and is now
dedicated Jakarta EE 11.

The path to Jakarta EE 11 involves tracking several dependencies such as CXF,
MyFaces, OpenJPA, OpenWebBeans which are all at various stages of
implementing their portions of Jakarta EE 11.  CXF being the furthest along
with their recent release of 4.2.0, targeting Jakarta EE 11.  A new
specification, Jakarta Data, is in Jakarta EE 11 and discussion is ongoing on
what implemenation we may use or create.  Some discussion has also taken
place on potentially including Hibernate as a dependency now that it is
Apache licensed.

Attachment CL: Report from the Apache Wayang Project  [Zoi Kaoudi]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Wayang is the creation and maintenance of software 
related to cross-engine data processing that aims at (i) decoupling 
applications from underlying data processing engines, such as Apache Flink, 
Apache Spark, databases, or ML systems, and (ii) automatically determining the 
optimal combination of engines to execute a given data pipeline using an 
optimizer

## Project Status:
Current project status: New TLP, graduated three months ago.

Issues for the board: Nothing.

## Membership Data:
Apache Wayang was founded 2025-11-19
There are currently 18 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members (project graduated recently).
- No new committers were added.

## Project Activity:
The last month we mainly focused on bug fixing and getting our 
first release as a TLP out. The release is already prepared and sent to vote 
in the dev list.

We have also been discussing possible projects for the Google summer of code.
Not sure if our projects will be used though as the deadline we might have 
missed the deadline for projects submissions (it was not clear in the page).

## Community Health:
Community activity has increased over the last month. Traffic on the
dev list has increased and discussions have been constructive.
Participation has been consistent, and we continue to respond promptly to PRs
and technical questions. We are also seeking more contributors not only for
code, but also for documentation, blogs, and other areas.
We have seen increased interest since we became a TLP.

Attachment CM: Report from the Apache Web Services Project  [Daniel Kulp]

## Description:
Apache Web Services is a collection of shared technologies related to SOAP/XML
based Web Services that can be shared by different implementations. Spring-WS,
Axis2, CXF, and others use parts of the technology created within Apache Web
Services.

## Project Status:
Current project status: ongoing, very low activity
Issues for the board: very minimal viability of project (see health section)

## Membership Data:
Apache Web Services was founded 2003-01-22 (23 years ago)
There are currently 223 committers and 42 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Robert Lazarski on 2021-06-14.
- No new committers. Last addition was Alessio Soldano on 2014-09-14.

## Project Activity:
WebServices is a mature project based on standards that are also quite mature.
As such, there is not a significant amount of activity required. However, user
questions are being answered promptly, bugs are being fixed, and there are at
least 3 independent PMC members around making sure the project can continue to
produce releases as needed.   Since SOAP/XML based Web Services is no longer
considered state of the art, we don't expect a major uptick in new development
efforts, new committers, etc...

A large majority of the changes in each project are just Dependabot updates.
There was a patch release of XmlSchema to address one user issue.  Patch
releases of WSS4J were also done to provide some updates needed for CXF.
There was question whether to do an Axiom release for Axis2, but the
Axis2 process doesn't look like they really need it so an Axiom release
may not happen.

Latest Releases:
XmlSchema-2.3.2 was released on 2025-11-04
WSS4J 4.0.1 was released on 2025-11-04
WSS4J 3.0.5 was released on 2025-11-04
Axiom-2.0.0 was released on 2025-02-06
Neethi-3.2.1 was released on 2024-10-30
Woden-1.0M10: 2015-09


## Community Health:
The board initiated a Roll Call last month.   The result was exactly 3 +1's, 6
0's, and one -1.   For a very large PMC (42 members), that does mean a large
large majority did not respond at all. While there were three +1 meeting the
very minimum requirement for a PMC, it did start a discussion about what to do
with the project.   Of the "active" subprojects, development efforts of three
of them have been almost entirely been driven by CXF.   The fourth (Axiom) has
been entirely driven by Axis.   There was a suggestion to move Axiom to Axis
and the others two CXF to reflect the state of development and to provide the
much needed oversight.  An example of that is even the latest votes for WSS4J.
The three needed +1 were achieved, but only from CXF the developers. 
XmlSchema did better with 5 +1 votes, two from Axis team.

Of the three +1's in the Roll Call, two were from the Axis folks and one from
CXF. With that makeup, I do believe it would be hard to get the votes needed
to do releases without a bunch of prodding. I'll will note that I personally
put a +0 on the roll call with a note saying I'm willing to review/vote if
needed, but would likely need to be pinged on Slack or similar to point me at
the vote. That said, I'm not sure how thorough of a review I could provide.

There was one push back about the moving some of the projects to CXF as one of
the the interested developers is not a CXF committer. I personally don't
consider that a huge deal as the CXF community would likely be willing to add
him as a committer if WSS4j/Neethi/XmlSchema get moved there.

Note that not discussion around Woden at all.  Woden likely should be in the
attic already.  Last release was over 10 years ago.

Anyway, I'm really not sure what to do about the WebServices project.  IMO,
it's not really viable anymore. With 3 active PMC members, it technically
would meet the bare minimum requirements, but "split" between the CXF and Axis
folks and requirements kinds of changes the dynamics.   If I was to
*personally* make a recommendation (PMC chair hat off), I would recommend the
 idea of moving the projects as mentioned above and then put WS in the Attic.
The CXF community and PMC can continue to drive WSS4j, XmlSchema, and Neethi
and the Axis2 folks can continue to drive Axiom. The PMC's of those projects
can provide the oversight of those subprojects.  Again, that's completely a
personal recommendation.

Attachment CN: Report from the Apache Whimsy Project  [Dave Fisher]

## 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 and the main whimsy agenda tool can be be
removed for the next board reporting cycle.

Members' meeting functionality is in use and was recently changed.

Minor improvements to the Secretary's functionality for handling email
document submissions.

## Community Health:

Community is 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. At least three PMC members have recently
participated.

## Description:
Apache Xalan exists to promote the use of XSLT. We view XSLT (Extensible 
Stylesheet Language Transformations) as a compelling paradigm that transforms 
XML documents, thereby facilitating the exchange, transformation, and 
presentation of knowledge. The ability to transform XML documents into usable 
information has great potential to improve the functionality and use of 
information systems. We intend to build freely available XSLT processing 
components to engender such improvements.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing.
Issues for the board: None.

## Membership Data:
Apache Xalan was founded 2004-09-30 (21 years ago)
There are currently 57 committers and 5 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Joseph Kessselman on 2023-08-07.
- No new committers. Last addition was Joseph Kessselman on 2023-06-29.

## Project Activity:
We have fixes and features we want to release in 2.x and a 3.x alpha or beta.
We are only making slow progress.

## Community Health

The activity on the mailing list, Jira, and GitHub is low. We suspect this
will change once we release. We are not planning meetings or conferences.

Attachment CQ: Report from the Apache XML Graphics Project  [Clay Leeds]

## Description:
Apache XML Graphics exists to promote the use of XML. We view XML as a
compelling paradigm that structures data as information, thereby facilitating
the exchange, transformation, and presentation of knowledge. The ability to
transform raw data into usable information has great potential to improve the

available products for the conversion of XML to graphical output and closely
related technologies in order to engender such improvements.
