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 2 distinct releases. We added 1 new IPMC members, Spot and PageSpeed has retired.

Kvrocks has started the graduation discussion, SeaTunnel has solved some branding issues on the eve of graduation, and the voting process for graduation has been completed.

Some podlings download pages have some problems, their checksum and signature do not use the download.a.o address, SDAP lacks active mentors, and only one mentor voted in the version release, but the community seems to be active, and maybe add new mentors should be considered.

OpenDAL

Open Data Access Layer: Access data freely, painlessly, and efficiently.

OpenDAL has been incubating since 2023-02-27.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

Grow the community(attracting more committers, contributors, and users)
Publish Apache releases(resolving logistics on Apache releases)
Improve project structure and documentation

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

None

How has the community developed since the last report?

We have added support for Supabase, SFTP, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Vercel Artifacts (Vercel Remote Caching), providing more choices to our users.

We have noticed that some new projects have adopted OpenDAL, and there are also new users for our bindings who have achieved great results.

We have launched a new project called Oay (OpenDAL Gateway). By providing a native gateway, we empower users to access different storage through the same API.

We have also participated in open-source community activities. We are excited to be part of the Open Source Promotion Plan (OSPP) 2023, a summer program that encourages students to contribute to open-source projects.

We have improved our documentation for new users and developers and set up a fast development environment to make it easier for them to use and contribute.

In the past month, we have welcomed 26 new contributors, bringing the total number to 86.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Core: We have added support for several new services and made improvements to performance and usability.
Cli: There have been no changes from the last report.
Bindings: We made some improvements to the existing bindings, adding new Java and C bindings with basic functions.
Gateway: We are still developing the MVP.
