# Incubator PMC report for May 2023

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 27 podlings incubating. In March, podlings executed 24 distinct 
releases. We added 1 new IPMC member. Spot and PageSpeed have retired. 
Kvrocks has started the graduation discussion, SeaTunnel has resolved some 
branding issues on the eve of graduation.
Some podlings' download pages have some problems with their checksum and 
signatures, but this may be a hangover from moving from the mirror system 
to the CDN and is being looked into.
The incubator site has had some minor updates to improve it language.
SDAP lacks active mentors, and only one mentor voted in the version 
release, but the community seems to be involved. We'll ask the project to 
ask for more mentors.
<private>Apologies for the late report and missing reports. My $dayjob made 
my and my team's positions redundant, and it's been a chaotic couple of 
weeks.</private>
