Incubator PMC report for April 2023
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
Marvin-AI has retired, and PageSpeed and Spot have completed the voting process for retirement.
The version release of Podlings still needs to be checked by Mentor and IPMC to prevent errors in the statistics of binding votes.
Justin has a pretty good idea. He made a small game about Incuabtor. Maybe some ASF rules can be integrated into these small games to help podlings learn Apache Way.
Some podlings participated in GSoC.
Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases. TODO add narrative

OpenDAL has now been adopted by llama-hub to provide support for cloud object storage services. Additionally, we have noticed that a command-line tool called dilu has been using OpenDAL. We are also planning to provide webhdfs support for object store in the near future.
In the past month, we have had close to 20 new contributors and elected two new committers.
How has the project developed since the last report?
- Core: We are now pushing for support for copy/rename.
- Cli: The implementation of the oli command-line tool is still ongoing, and we support configuration files and some common operations such as
ls
andcat
. - Bindings: We now have a basic Ruby binding implementation, and further improvements have been made to Python and Node.js bindings.

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.
