How has the project developed since the last report?

The project has been quite health, with more than 29 pull requests, 25 of them have being merged in December. These pull requests are authored by a diverse set of contributors.

This month's Pull Request is mainly divided into three aspects:

Fixing Apache APISIX bug.
Supporting more configuration items and optimizing the experience on Apache APISIX Dashboard.
Supplement Apache APISIX function manual

We haven't started new committers or PPMC members elections yet. Currently, our work focus on improving the design and documents to make the project more approachable for newcomers.

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Yes. Last month, we changed name from MesaTEE to Teaclave. There are a lot of changes need to be done. The mentors and infra teams help us a lot on the transfer.

Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

We don't find any 3rd parties incorrectly using the podling's name and brand. The VP, Brand has approve the project name. (PODLINGNAMESEARCH-175)

TVM

TVM is a full stack open deep learning compiler stack for CPUs, GPUs, and specialized accelerators. It aims to close the gap between the productivity- focused deep learning frameworks, and the performance- or efficiency- oriented hardware backends.

TVM has been incubating since 2019-03-06.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

Keep growing the community
Make a few more Apache releases
Improve documentations

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

no

How has the community developed since the last report?

TVM community has welcomed two new committers/PPMC members since last report. There are also two on-going new committer nomination that will close in a week. The community hosted many meetups and an annual developer conference with more than 200+ attendees. These contents are made publically available as per apache way.

This has been a great year for us doing the Apache way and grow the community. The community has grown 70% in terms of number of contributors and committers, while these statistics do not necessarily indicate success, they suggest we are on the right track.

How has the project developed since the last report?

We made our first Apache release. Thanks to the help of IPMC members, in particular Justin, we were able to hold the Apache standard and release without using the WIP disclaimer

A lot of improvements have been made. Including TensorCore support, embedded system support and performance improvements

See also our monthly report for detailed improvements
