# Incubator PMC report for January 2022

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 37 podlings incubating. In December, podlings executed  8 
distinct releases. We added no new IPMC members, and none retired. There 
where 2 IP clearances. A couple of new podlings are under discussion, and 
HugeGraph will be joining the Incubator. Hop graduated last month.

A couple of podlings are heading towards graduation in the next few months. 
This month we were missing reports from BlueMarlin, EventMesh, Hivemall, 
Livy, MXNet, SDAP, SeaTunnel, Spot, Training and they will be asked to 
report next month. January is typically a month we get several missing 
reports due to holidays. Hivemall, Livy, SDAP, Spot and Training have 
failed to report several times in a row, a role call or other appropriate 
action will be taken, including suggesting (in some cases), they should 
retire from the Incubator. Spot did respond to its role call, and showed 
interest in continuing. It does at least have 3 active PMC members but 
little or no activity.

Discussion around Age graduating suggested it was a little too early. They 
needed to correct several minor things, including considering a wider group 
of committers and lowering their committer bar. The PMC composition 
required a little work as well. 

A discussion on bringing  log 4j 1.x to the Incubator took place, and it 
was decided that the Incubator was not the right place for this project.
As usual, most discussions on the mailing list were on graduations, 
releases, and new project proposals.
