Pekko

Pekko is a toolkit and an ecosystem for building highly concurrent, distributed, reactive and resilient applications for Java and Scala.

Pekko has been incubating since 2022-10-24.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

Complete the work on updating the file headers and docs to reflect the new branding and licensing.
2. Get the core web site and documentation up.
Get a milestone release done - at least for the core modules. This would facilitate the wider OSS community. We would hope that other OSS projects that currently support Akka would look to also support Apache Pekko.

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

Nothing of note

How has the community developed since the last report?

We recently added a new committer (Arnout Engelen).

How has the project developed since the last report?

Some reasonable progress with getting the code migrated.
