# Incubator PMC report for December 2022  

The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and 
codebases wishing to become 
part of the Foundation's efforts. 
There are presently 34 podlings incubating. 
Podlings made 6 distinct releases. 

This month we were missing reports from  Spot, Marvin-AI and Uniffle. There 
will be asked to report next month. 
Nuttx and StreamPipes graduated last month. 

We added 1 new IPMC member, and none retired. 

This month we have a new proposal: KIE, this is an Umbrella Project, that 
has 80 projects, 
Althoughalthough there are only 3 projects after splitting, 
but it's still a challenge for the 
project and the incubator. 
therefore, IPMC recommends incubating separately, 
but the team is still controversial, let us see how to do it next.

Tuweni and Nemo start a graduation vote, but the Tuweni community faced a 
diversity 
challenge with only one active contributor. 
Nemo has been silent for two years, 
but it has only become active in the past few months. IPMC is worried about 
whether 
it can remain active after graduation.

       Lots of detailed effort going into the first release.
       I was involved in the EPSG issue, and it's great to see a
       project at this stage taking licensing issues seriously.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:



--------------------

## Wayang

Wayang is a cross-platform data processing system that aims at decoupling
the business logic of data analytics applications from concrete data
processing platforms, such as Apache Flink or Apache Spark. Hence, it tames
the complexity that arises from the "Cambrian explosion" of novel data
processing platforms that we currently witness.

Wayang has been incubating since 2020-12-16.

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

  1. Simplifying and documenting the release process
  2  2. Drive growth and community building
  3. Slow contribution rate  

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

The trademark team solved the Trademark of “Wayang”.

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

Slow adaption, but increasing interest and adoption.

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

Python integration had a delay in development.

Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings

     Comments: Thing I'm a bit worried of, is that for the last 5-6 months 
there 
     has been no non-trivial (dependabot or typo) commit to the repo. When 
asking 
     on slack, the team tells me they are working hard on something, but not 
yet 
     ready to push it to the ASF repo. I did tell them that code-drops from a 
     partition of the project is bad community wise, but there hasn't been any 
     change so far.
