Approved by General Consent.
4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander]
This turns out to be a busy period of the month. We are having
our anual members meeting in 2 weeks, which I'm preparing for.
I'd like to thank our President, David Nalley, for representing us
at the US Senate Committee for Homeland Security & Governmental
Affairs hearing "Responding to and Learning from the Log4Shell
Vulnerability".
B. President [David]
This has been an extraordinarily busy month.
Mark Cox, Mark Thomas, Joe Brockmeier, and Sam Ruby followed on last
months White House meeting around software supply chain and then
worked to help respond to the Log4j inquiry from the US Senate's
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
There was an impressive amount of time invested by those folks in
helping craft our message for both the audience and understanding
level. In particular, Sam Ruby invested massive amounts of time, and
helped meet with Senate staffers on a number of occasions. The hearing
ran approximately 90 minutes, but the prep, and pre-hearing briefings
ran into the scores of hours.
The video of the hearing can be found here:
https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/templates/watch.cfm?id=4E30CE08-5056-A066-6025-5E1A1E9EC6F3
Ruth has also helped tremendously by picking up all of the "normal"
operations work so that I could focus on the public response to Log4j.
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 8.
C. Treasurer [Craig McClanahan]
January marks a transition at the Treasurer position, from Myrle
Krantz to Craig McClanahan. Myrle remains as Assistant Treasurer, for
which I am very grateful. I'm standing on the shoulders of giants
after all that she has accomplished.
We also experienced a transition of our primary accounting contact at
IgniteSpot (our accounting firm). Our former primary contact chose to
leave them, and we have engaged with our new primary contact there,
and things are going well.
Regarding general financial activities, we are moving forward with
several tasks that are not yet complete:
* Closing our accounts at Boston Private (as soon as our final CDARS
investments mature in February). Funds will be transferred to our
TD Bank account.
* Closing our account at Citizen's Bank. Funds will be transferred to
our TD Bank account.
* Funding of the Operating Reserve investment account, per the
Investment Policy Statement approved by the Board.
As a terminology note, our investment advisor for the Operating
Reserve account will be referred to as TD Wealth, to distinguish it
from TD Bank that is our bank account.
D. Secretary [Matt]
In January, the secretary received 43 ICLAs and 2 CCLAs.
E. Executive Vice President [Ruth]
Highlights generally covered elsewhere.
Before proceeding with ACNA plans, I checked in with all of last
year's sponsors to see if they're budgeting and planning for in-person
events, and all but one replied enthusiastically that they're ready to
go.
Budgets are coming together for FY23.
F. Vice Chair [Shane]
Assist Chair with testing data files for upcoming Member's meeting.

Attachment 2: Report from the VP of Fundraising [Bob Paulin]
1) ASF Sponsors: we enter 2022 with more than $1.6M in sponsorships closed. We
continue our sponsorship activities, including securing new sponsors as well
as renewals. Our open invoices include 3 Platinum, 2 Gold, 3 Silver, and 5
Bronze renewals, as well as 1 new Gold and 1 new Bronze Sponsors. We welcomed
one new Platinum and one Bronze Sponsor. One Gold Sponsor has chosen not to
renew for the 2022 sponsorship year. We received payment from two Platinum,
two Gold, one Silver, and one Bronze Sponsors.
2) Targeted Sponsors: we have tightened our processes in response to an
increase in the number of organizations seeking to contribute cash and/or
services to benefit specific Apache Projects at an outlier level (outside of
existing sponsorship tiers or accepted methods).
3) Sponsor Relations: in addition to our standard outreach, we sent New Year
greetings to all ASF and Targeted Sponsors. We responded to a Sponsor query
regarding the Log4j vulnerability and are working with Marketing & Publicity
on a press release for a new sponsor at the Platinum level. We also
onboarded/oriented four new Sponsor points-of-contact.
4) Event Sponsorship: an ApacheCon sponsorship remains outstanding since
September.

Attachment 3: Report from the VP of Marketing and Publicity [Joe Brockmeier]
== Overview
Log4j activities continued from last month. Assisted in preparing some
materials for the Senate hearing, but fielded far fewer press requests and
such since the last board report. We have received a few more requests, and
continue to forward those to the PMC and Security as appropriate.
Also helped review contract for DEI work where the work touches M&P to ensure
we're not promising any publicity we're not comfortable with. Reviewed &
responded to a few questions from vendors about releases.

Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [David Nalley]
General
=======
Infrastructure is operating as expected, and has no current issues
requiring escalation to the President or the Board.
Highlights
==========
- Turned off two of our oldest machines: minotaur, and baldr
(CMS). These machines chugged away for us, for over a decade.
They will be missed.
Not really.
Finances
========
- A budget has been prepared for FY23, and presented to the President
and EVP for presentation to the (new) Board in March. Small
refinements are expected when January "actuals" are received.
Short Term Priorities
=====================
- Spin up "mailgw" ... the mail gateway, to replace the ancient
"hermes" machine that routes all the Foundation's email.
- Turn off Puppet v3, and decomm our last physical box.
Long Range Priorities
=====================
- Gitbox v2 is finally "on deck"
- Quite long range: the new agenda tool
General Activity
================
- Exploring Atlassian Crowd as our password change tooling.
- Work has begun on a new Board Agenda tool.
- Lots of buildbot work: migration to v3.2 and Windows nodes.
- Initial deployment of Jenkins nodes for Apache HBase, using the
targeted donation they received.
- For spam management reasons, we are testing Apache "inboxes" rather
than forwarding.
- Word policing: p3 repository: 300+ verboten words removed over 5
years; p6 repository: 225 removed over 2 years; website: from 31 to
13 over the past two years.
- Cleaned out Rackspace, as they no longer offer a complementary
allocation for F/OSS organizations.
- Much work on the backup server.
- Atlassian CLI upgrades to improve selfserve.
- Finalizing testing plan for moving to mailgw, and decomm of hermes.
- mbox-vm has been upgraded/migrated.
- Created prototype webapp to help manage ezmlm moderation requests,
and managing the set of list moderators. This should obsolete a
class of Infra Jira tickets.
- More project VM migrations to deal with old Ubuntu and Puppet.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Conferences [Rich Bowen]
We are in discussions to put on an ApacheCon in Moscow, in June or
thereabouts. This will be run by a local company, and chaired by Roman
Shaposhnik, who is currently living in the area. More details will be
discussed on the planners@apachecon.com mailing list as they become
available.
We have started discussions and tentative plans for ApacheCon North
America, in the September/October timeframe. This is still very
cautious and tentative, as there are still many unknowns. We hope to
have more detail by next month's report.
A team is working on an ApacheCon event in Asia, and we expect to have
a formal proposal for approval by the next board meeting.
Other events in flight include Pulsar Summit (Pulsar Summit Global:
May 25-26 and Pulsar Summit Asia: Nov 19-20) and Ignite Summit (June
14, 2022).

Attachment 7: Report from the VP of Diversity and Inclusion [Katia Rojas]
## Description:
- The Diversity and Inclusion VP works in collaboration with a team
that contributes towards generating a current description of the D&I
landscape in the industry and for the foundation. The team also
focuses on developing resources the projects can leverage to
increase diversity and inclusion in their communities.
## Issues:
## Activity:
*** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) ***
We entered week 11 of the round "December 2021 to March 2022" [1].
We will finalize the current round in 3 weeks. New round: "May to
August 2022" is opened [2]. We worked with marketing and
publicity, sponsor relations, and fundraising on the message to
call for mentors and for sponsors. After the final approval, Sally
will share the messages via the corresponding MLs. Thank you so
much, Bob Paulin, Joe Brockmeier, Sally Khudairi for your active
contribution in designing these communications. We should receive
at least one sponsorship before February 25, 2022, at 4pm UTC, to
be able to participate in the program. If you are interested in
the program, check out your inbox; you should receive an email
soon. You can start with this page [3].
*** Project: User Experience Research on new contributors *** We had
extensive discussions about the Bitergia-contract with marketing
and publicity, legal, and fundraising. I sent the final version of
the contract, including the recommended changes, to the rest of
the team for their approval. Once it is approved it will be signed
and sent to Bitergia. Content of the project: The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF) will program manage and analyze the status of
Diversity & Inclusion within the Foundation and its community of
users, members, and committers. The two main tasks are to (i)
re-run the contributor survey with minor changes, and (ii)
implement an improvement and learn from it using scientific
methods. The project plan has been started.
*** Project: EDI Website No updates - no volunteers [4]
*** Operations no updates.
## Committee members changes:
No new members.

Attachment 8: Report from the VP of Data Privacy [Christian Grobmeier]
We have installed Matomo (Google Analytics replacement) on a Privacy
maintained VM. Two projects are currently trying out if the software is
meeting our requirements (Apache Flink and Apache Shiro). Once we learn more
about the system, VP Privacy will send out a first email informing the
projects about the upcoming changes to privacy (and asking for feedback).
On another note we have received many privacy complaints from users who used
the Mine software (saymine.com). This software analyses emails and makes
assumption on unused "accounts". Because some users received emails from our
email lists, Mine recommended to contact us. These emails mentioned there "is
proof". I have looked into Mine and tried the "free account". All emails I
found where "false positives" and it looked like people unsubscribed at some
point. I contacted Mine so they don't recommend sending us further emails;
outcome is still open.
Another request to sign a DPA with Warner Bros was rejected; the law firm
contacting us where searching for "Apache Solutions Ltd".
Apart from that only routine work was done.

Attachment 9: Report from the VP of W3C Relations [Andy Seaborne]
W3C are considering relicensing many W3C Recommendations using the W3C
Software and Document License [1].
This is already the default license for work since about 2015. Many older
recommendations are under versions of the non-permissive W3C Document License
[2].

Attachment 10: Report from the Apache Legal Affairs Committee [Roman Shaposhnik]
Past month has been pretty calm. Committee members took good care of resolving
most issues on time. After resolving a handful of LEGAL issues, we are
slightly up to 20 from 17 outstanding issues compared to last month.
Committee worked on helping prepare a set of responses to various US
government officials and agencies regarding log4j security vulnerability.
We have established a formal relationship with Gwyn Firth Murray Matau Legal
Group and now have an extra resource to go to in case we need a formal legal
opinion or help. We followed a standard ASF engagement model: our contract
includes a certain number of pro-bono hours and we have negotiated a very
reasonable rate on top of that.
We reviewed an SOW agreement from a vendor providing us with D&I services.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 11: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark J. Cox]
Continued work on incoming security issues, keeping projects reminded
of outstanding issues, and general oversight and advice. The workload
remains high as we work through the larger number of issues reported
during December-January.
We were invited, and attended, a forum to discuss open source software
security with the NSC at the White House in January 2022. A summary
was posted after the meeting to our public
security-discuss@community.apache.org list
https://lists.apache.org/thread/7bs1k791b5f0j4vzf0h6lwnv8doyjzck
We have been invited to a Senate hearing around log4j. Please see the
Presidents remarks for more information.

## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
Ant 1.10.12 was released on 2021-10-19
Ant 1.9.16 was released on 2021-07-13.
AntUnit 1.4.1 was released on 2021-07-07.
Ivy 2.5.0 was released on 2019-10-24.
Log4Shell was a topic for us too - but we had only to answer that Ant
wasn't infected.
Ant 1.10.12 helps project building on Java18 and Java19 - even if there
are bugs reported.
## Community Health:
For Ant we feel healthy enough to apply patches, and get a release done.
But basically we are in "maintenance mode". There isn't much development.
For IvyDE we lack the knowledge of building Eclipse plugins on actual Eclipse
versions. We hope to get the build running again so we could update that.
As most projects moved to Maven or Gradle, the interest in Ant is decreased
and also the will to contribute. Ant is still used in several places, as this
"swiss army knife" is a sharp one in some areas.
But to sum up: we don't expect to get

- Discussions about issues and directions for the project continue
on the mailing lists.
- We are actively considering new committers and I expect to send
out a VOTE request to the committee soon proposing an invitation.

Attachment E: Report from the Apache Buildr Project [Antoine Toulme]
## Description:
Apache Buildr is a build system for Java-based applications, including
support for Scala, Groovy and a growing number of JVM languages and
tools. We wanted something that’s simple and intuitive to use, so
we only need to tell it what to do, and it takes care of the rest.
But also something we can easily extend for those one-off tasks, with
a language that’s a joy to use. And of course, we wanted it to be
fast, reliable and have outstanding dependency management.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- We have released 1.5.8 in July 2019. We haven't had any activity since.
This report is essentially the same as what we filed for a while now.
## Health report:
- We still have a small PMC presence of 3 active members still able
to vote releases.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 7 PMC members.
- No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
- Last PMC addition was Peter Donald on Tue Oct 15 2013
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 10 committers.
- Olle Jonsson was added as a committer on Wed Dec 12 2018
## Releases:
- Last release was 1.5.8 on July 14th 2019

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Dinesh Joshi on 2021-05-20.
- No new committers. Last addition was Sumanth Pasupuleti on 2021-10-27.
## Project Activity:
There has been no releases this quarter. Most activity and
community focus has been on trunk development which will not see a release
until May.
Patch releases 4.0.2 and 3.11.12 are quite probable in the near term.
A lot of effort is still going into CI and establishing a Stable Trunk
development approach. The introduction of https://butler.cassandra.apache.org/
and a rotating build lead role is helping to correlate CI results to trends
and to jira tickets.
## Community Health:
Community health is strong.
Extra effort has been put into regular website content and blogs, and to the
twitter account. The twitter account @cassandra is aiming to post twice a day.
A quick sample survey showed >20% of our users have upgraded to 4.0
Cassandra project status updates are emailed regularly to dev@, these are
worth reading for a more detailed view on current state of affairs in the
project.

- The header-only C++ api was updated to support C++17. This change was needed
before a new release could be made to prevent future backwards incompatible
updates.
## Community Health:
Community activity for the last quarter is overall normal, we did
see some increase in small commits from new people.

## Project Activity:
The PMC has voted to move Apache Clerezza to the Attic. Hasan is going
to initiate that according to the standard procedure in the next quarter
after cleaning up the project.
Hasan finished the work to upgrade Apache Clerezza to use JUnit 5.
The latest release was created on October 22, 2020.
There would not be any new release before moving the project to the Attic,
although there are commits done in the master branch.
## Community Health:
The health of the community has reached the lowest status.
It is obvious that the very low activity of the community is the main
problem that has triggered the move of this project to the Attic.

## Project Activity:
ALC
We established the ALC Shenzhen (China), and Shenzhen team has had 4 meetings
so far to discuss how to spread awareness of ASF in the region and
how they can better help the incubating projects in an efficient way.
GSoC
We started getting a good amount of enquiries from the students for GSoC 2022.
Our experience with GSoC has been great so far; we will apply again
this year as a mentoring organization for GSoC 2022.
Other
Logging Services PMC was approached by Tidelift
offering to provide monetary support either to the project
or individual committers. We had a good discussion on it
and community shared some good pointers and options available
to proceed with it [1].
Also, we got a proposal to add release requirements check in
the reporter tool. Good thoughts have been exchanged on this
with the existing available options and on improving the existing tools [2].
## Community Health:
Our dev mailing list had slightly reduced traffic as compared
to the past quarter (178 emails compared to 213 in the past quarter)
because two of our major events, ApacheCon and GSoC were concluded
in the past to past quarter, so we didn't have much discussion around
these topics in the past quarter.
The new mailing list 'security-discuss@community.apache.org'
(established in September 2021) also had good traction
in this quarter (46 emails).

- Apache Rat 0.12 was released on 2016-06-09.
- 0.11 was released on 2014-08-21.
We are planning to release RAT 0.14,
but due to lack of time no release date is scheduled yet.
## Community Health:
There's interest in a new release of RAT, but no schedule yet. Due to the fact
that a release has not been performed for some time now I asked the community
for a second pair of eyes as there were so many infrastructure changes after
0.13.
Apart from that other Creadur subprojects have been updated in order to fix
CVEs in dependencies.
- dev@creadur.apache.org had a 115% increase in traffic in the past quarter

Attachment M: Report from the Apache DataSketches Project [Lee Rhodes]
## Description:
The mission of Apache DataSketches is the creation and maintenance of software
related to an open source, high-performance library of streaming algorithms
commonly called "sketches" in the data sciences. Sketches are small, stateful
programs that process massive data as a stream and can provide approximate
answers, with mathematical guarantees, to computationally difficult queries
orders-of-magnitude faster than traditional, exact methods
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache DataSketches was founded 2020-12-15 (a year ago)
There are currently 15 committers and 13 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:7.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was David Cromberge on 2021-09-22.
- No new committers. Last addition was Charlie Dickens on 2020-12-18.
## Project Activity:
Dec 2021: Released datasketches-cpp 3.3.0
Jan 2022: Released datasketches-java 3.1.0
Considerable work on synchronizing sketch behavior across C++ and Java.
Added comprehensive modeling to check corner cases in set operations.
This was inspired by a reported bug (datasketches-java issue #368).
We subsequently created this comprehensive model to test for all
possible combinations of such issues. All of this has now been released
in datasketches-java 3.1.0 and -cpp 3.3.0. This is all documented on our
website as well. Our research work is in the area of using sketches for
differential privacy. We hope the paper will be published soon.
## Community Health:
The DataSketches project is healthy. Most of our interactions with users are
through GitHub or through Slack, both of which are easier to use and more
interactive than the dev@ list. So the decrease in dev@ usage is
understandable. But on the whole, the activity on the DataSketches project is
growing.

Community changes, past quarter:
- James Turton was added to the PMC on 2022-01-23
- PJ Fanning was added as committer on 2022-01-19
## Project Activity:
The Drill team is preparing to release Drill 1.20.
We released RC0 for Drill 1.20 on 5 February. One minor bug was found,
so we will likely be putting out RC1 shortly.
Drill 1.20 is significant in that in addition to new functionality and bug fixes
the new version has backwards compatibility with Hadoop 2. This limitation
meant that many organizations could not upgrade past Drill circa 1.17.
Some highlights of Drill 1.20 are:
* Storage plugin for Apache Phoenix
* Format plugin for Apache Iceberg
* Upgrade Parquet reader to Parquet v2
* Support for automatic de-pagination for REST plugin
* Support for OAuth2.0 for REST queries
* Refactoring pushdowns for Mongo
much more...
The Drill community has been holding monthly hangout meetings which James Turton
has organized. We've been discussing building a Drill 2.0 and what that would
entail. There are a few key themes of things which we should revise which would
necessarily break some existing functionality.
* 1.19.0 was released on 2021-06-10.
* 1.18.0 was released on 2020-09-04.
* 1.17.0 was released on 2019-12-26.
## Community Health:
The Drill community is growing and I would say strong. As mentioned above
there has been a good conversation for the last few months about Drill 2.0.
* dev@drill.apache.org had a 80% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(1147 emails compared to 635)
* issues@drill.apache.org had a 79% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(1033 emails compared to 576)

* 13 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (-40% change)
* 10 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (-16% change)
* 342 members of Drill slack channel.

Attachment P: Report from the Apache Druid Project [Gian Merlino]
## Description
Apache Druid is a high performance real-time analytics database. It is
designed for workflows where low-latency query and ingest are the main
requirements. It implements ingestion, storage, and querying subsystems. Users
interface with Druid through built-in SQL and JSON APIs, as well as
third-party applications.
Druid has an extensive web of connections with other Apache projects: Calcite
for SQL planning, Curator and ZooKeeper for coordination, Kafka and Hadoop as
data sources, Avro, ORC, or Parquet as supported data input formats, and
DataSketches for scalable approximate algorithms. Druid can also be used as a
data source by Superset.
## Issues
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity
Our last major release was Druid 0.22.0, which contained 400 new features, bug
fixes, performance enhancements, documentation improvements, and additional
test coverage from 73 contributors.
Before that release, we had hoped to sort out whether or not we need IP
clearance for the Druid Helm chart. It was moved to the Apache Druid repo from
the Helm Charts repo after the latter was deprecated:
https://github.com/helm/charts#%EF%B8%8F-deprecation-and-archive-notice
However, we were not able to complete this work, so we excluded the Helm chart
from the 0.22.0 release. We hope to be able to sort this out for the next
release.
Since our last report, there have been 3 community meetups virtually via
groups based in The Triangle (NC), Toronto and Sydney.
Dev activity appears to be continuing to move from the dev list to GitHub. The
busiest issues/PRs are receiving substantially more comments than the busiest
dev list threads. We also noticed this pattern in our last report.
On January 27 we set up a community Slack workspace at
https://apachedruidworkspace.slack.com/. We decided to create this new
workspace, instead of using our existing #druid channel on ASF Slack, because
the official ASF Slack workspace requires an invitation from an existing
member in order to join, which was hampering the ability of members of the
public to join up. The new workspace currently has 150 members.

Attachment Q: Report from the Apache Empire-db Project [Rainer Döbele]
## Description:
Empire-db is an object orientated API for dealing with all aspects of
storing, manipulating, retrieving and modelling data in relational database
management systems. With an SQL centric, no-compromise approach
Empire-db attempts to makes the full power of the database system available to
applications. In contrast to object-relational-mapping it provides a easy,
intuitive and string-free way to create SQL-statements of any complexity in
order to query or manipulate data.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring the boards attention at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache Empire-db was founded 2012-01-24 (10 years ago)
There are currently 9 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Jan Glaubitz on 2016-07-10.
- No new committers. Last addition was Jan Glaubitz on 2015-10-05.
## Project Activity:
The previous quarter has been quite busy as we have completed and published
out new release that we have prepared for several months. The release has been
approved by our community with 6 votes of which 5 were binding. Even more
important though, we have created a new branch for a complete API overhaul
that is supposed to lead to a new major version 3.x. This is because over the
years the API has suffered from various changes and has now some
inconsistencies and irregularities which should be resolved. Also the source
level should be raised to Java 8 to allow new features to be added (e.g.
java.time). Work on this new version has already begun and will hopefully
result in another release later this year.
## Releases
empire-db-2.5.1 was released on 2022-01-22.
## Community Health:
The community is still active.
The increased activity is due to the completion of the current release 2.5.1
and work on the new branch for a complete API overhaul 3.x.
10 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (150% increase)

Attachment V: Report from the Apache Gora Project [Kevin Ratnasekera]
## Description:
- The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and
persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores,
key-value stores, document stores, distributed in-memory key-value stores,
in-memory data grids, in-memory caches, distributed multi-model stores and
hybrid in-memory architectures. Gora also enables analysis of data with
extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce, Apache Spark, Apache Flink, and Apache
Pig support.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache Gora was founded 2012-01-24 (10 years ago)

- No new committers. Last addition was Lahiru Jayasekara on 2020-04-28.
## Project Activity:
- Except for several bug fixes, improvements while considering
development work, it has been a fairly quiet quarter for us.
- We are reaching the end of Outreachy project timeline, most probably this
will be another successful project for us, we will explore the
possibilities of expanding our committer capacity once these
contributions are reviewed and merged. For past few years,
Outreachy and GSoC programmes have been great opportunity for us to
gain contributions and attract new community.
## Community Health:
- We observed the usual traffic that we get on our mailing lists for the
past quarter. So nothing significant compared to previous quarters. Once
the contributions in Pull requests are reviewed and merged, we are planning to
complete the next release which is pending from us for quite a while now.

Attachment W: Report from the Apache Groovy Project [Paul King]
## Description:
Apache Groovy is responsible for the evolution and maintenance of the
Groovy programming language

- No new PMC members. Last addition was Eric Milles on 2020-11-20.
- No new committers. Last addition was Mikko Värri on 2020-06-03.
## Project Activity:
Our main goal for this quarter was the release of Groovy 4.0.
Groovy 4 includes a range of new features including switch expressions,
sealed types, records, language integrated query and much more!
All up there are about 800 new features, improvements and bug fixes
since Groovy 3 which was released just under a year ago.
Special thanks go to the 80+ contributors for this release and
everyone involved in the Groovy community and broader ecosystem.
We will continue to work with the community on any issues with Groovy 4
and any needed bug fixes for earlier Groovy versions. We have yet to
give much attention to our roadmap for Groovy 5 but that will get some
attention soon once activity around the recent Groovy 4 release has
settled down and we complete some backporting of fixes to earlier
versions and other housekeeping tasks which were stalled as we
prepared for Groovy 4.
Recent releases:
4.0.0 was released on 2022-01-28.
4.0.0-rc-2 was released on 2021-12-27.
4.0.0-rc-1 was released on 2021-11-30.
4.0.0-beta-2 was released on 2021-11-09.
## Community Health:
Activity on the release has been strong as has mailing list activity.
Jira issues and code contributions outside the release were a little
quieter than normal. We hope general activity will pick up once we
begin Groovy 5 roadmap discussions.
This quarter on our main branch (which now corresponds to Groovy 5)
of our core repo, 290 commits were contributed from 5 contributors
including 2 non-committer contributors (2 new).
(459 commits by 9 contributors across all branches/repos.)

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Giovanni Bechis on 2021-06-11.
- No new committers.
## Project Activity:
After the frenetic release activity reported last time, this quarter was
quieter.
Development and maintenance of the 2.4.x branch continues in parallel with
trunk. One release (2.4.52) was shipped in December rolling up bug and
security fixes, plus a number of enhancements back-ported from trunk.
Committers had just opened discussion of another 2.4.x release at time of
writing this report.
Of the major changes happening in trunk, "mod_tls" was committed, an
alternative implementation of TLS/SSL support based on the Rustls TLS library
(written in Rust). Some improvements to the event MPM are also in progress,
with some changes moved temporarily to a Github PR after they tripped some
failures in Travis. Last, but not least, is an overhaul of the integration
of version 2 of the PCRE regex library and discussion around how to bring
this to 2.4 (since version 1 is declared end-of-life upstream).
## Community Health:
The level of dev@ mailing list activity remained healthy with most discussion
this quarter around the release and trunk development activity covered above.
The community continues to make good use of Github PRs, partly as a convenient
way to trigger CI for work under development, but also for aggregating more
complex backports from trunk to 2.4 for review.

- SCOUT - last release 10 DEC 2018. Resolved several bugs and dependencies.
## Health report:
- Low development activity is a factor for low mailing list volume, but in
all likelihood, it's from a general lack of interest in the protocol.
- Minimal JIRA activity or mailing list activity (aside from spam) is also a
factor for low development.
- There are enough active PMC members to approve releases and respond to
potential security issues.

Slack, but those too are generally quiet. The next major release
adds much needed modernization and integration with Spring Boot which
we hope sparks more interest.

PLEASE NOTE: The project has not yet made a release.
## Project Activity:
There has been pretty much no activity this quarter. We are a small community
and had hoped that the New Year would help kick off some activity but it
hasn't happened yet.
A good place to start some project activity is on tidying up the installation
and setup documentation as currently we have two Kibble code repositories
[1][2] (Kibble and Kibble-1) and they may be causing confusion to any potential
users.
## Community Health:
The low email traffic confirms the lack of activity for the quarter. It is
getting more important for us to engage with and motivate the community to
become more active. We hope that working on the documentation work will
trigger some user feedback that will help kick start more activity.

branched for a 2.0.0 line in order to switch to log4j-2.x and accommodate the
necessary backward incompatible changes on a new release line. This migration
is still in discussion given recent issues. We have also created a feature
that is targeted to be merged to the 2.0.0 line upon full review of a new large
feature that requires detailed security review. We have continued our use of
KIP one-pagers for new features and design discussions which work well.

Request activity.
## Project Activity:
- Late November through mid December 2021 the following CVEs were created:
- CVE-2021-44228: Apache Log4j2 JNDI features do not protect against
attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints.
- CVE-2021-44832: Apache Log4j2 vulnerable to RCE via JDBC Appender when
attacker controls configuration.
- CVE-2021-45046: Apache Log4j2 Thread Context Lookup Pattern vulnerable to
remote code execution in certain non-default configurations
- CVE-2021-45105: Apache Log4j2 does not always protect from infinite
recursion in lookup evaluation
- Team followed instructions on
https://www.apache.org/security/committers.html and expedited fixes were
made available for Java 6, 7, 8+.
- https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html received frequent
updates.
- Nearly all members of Logging PMC were involved with triaging and supporting
the CVE efforts.
- ASF Security and ASF Press teams were very supportive offering guidance,
perspective, coordination.
- ASF Security/Press were consulted on how to handle inquiries from media
outlets and government agencies.
- After the CVEs were resolved Logging Services created a new security@ email
list to shift security discussions out of private@
- Logging Services team confirmed 2015 End of Life for Log4j 1:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/sjog6cmfz9d85n92qovdy0o64bz44kvc
- The following CVEs for EOL Log4j 1 were created to further encourage users
to upgrade:
- CVE-2022-23307: CVE-2020-9493 identified a deserialization issue that was
present in Apache Chainsaw. Prior to Chainsaw V2.0 Chainsaw was a
component of Apache Log4j 1.2.x where the same issue exists.
- CVE-2022-23305: By design, the JDBCAppender in Log4j 1.2.x accepts an SQL
statement as a configuration parameter where the values to be inserted are
converters from PatternLayout. The message converter, %m, is likely to
always be included. This allows attackers to manipulate the SQL by
entering crafted strings into input fields or headers of an application
that are logged allowing unintended SQL queries to be executed.
- CVE-2022-23302: JMSSink in all versions of Log4j 1.x is vulnerable to
deserialization of untrusted data when the attacker has write access to
the Log4j configuration or if the configuration references an LDAP service
the attacker has access to.

several contributors become available.
## Community Health:
Community health was low due to no new development being done around OODT.
Work for 2.0 has already been completed. Project activity may pickup when we
start the discussion around 2.0 release.

## Project Activity:
There is slow, but steady development going on after our release of 5.2.1
back in February 2021. There is push to support Hadoop 3 and we might have to
drop Pig from the supported actions due to that.
There are many contributions recently to upgrade 3rd party versions
and stability and usability improvements too.
We are on a good path to upgrade Hadoop version.

related to a platform for building serverless applications with functions
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache OpenWhisk was founded 2019-07-16 (3 years ago)
There are currently 53 committers and 20 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:3.
Community changes, past quarter:

- No new committers. Last addition was Ning You Gang on 2021-01-19.
## Project Activity:
Work on merging PRs to the core OpenWhisk repository related to a new
scheduler algorithm resumed in January after several month of inactivity.
In the runtimes area, we added support for GoLang 1.17 (minor addition) and
there is a PR from a new community member adding support for Java 17 (major
addition) being reviewed.
Releases:
+ openwhisk-client-js-3.21.5 was released on 2021-11-08.
## Community Health:
All of the development activity metrics (email, commits, issues, etc.) were
down in the last quarter. Some of this can be attributed to end of year
holidays and vacations, but it is also indicative of a longer term trend of
decreased project activity and fewer active committers. There are sufficient
numbers of active project members to handle user support and basic project
maintenance, but the rate of forward development has slowed significantly.

Hopefully we can now revisit a few minor items from the release candidate
phase of this and the earlier Apache-Test release which were postponed in
order to not delay the releases.
## Community Health:
Various responses to requests for testing have left a few loose ends which
can now be tidied up, including improvements to the INSTALL document. Some
other improvements suggested by community members were incorporated into
the release, such as a CONTRIBUTING.md file which causes a page of helpful
links to be shown here: https://metacpan.org/dist/mod_perl/contribute, which
should encourage more contributions from users in the future.

## Project Activity:
Apache Phoenix had its last release 5.1.2 on 2021-06-07,
And we are dedicatedly making progress for our next releases
5.1.3 and 4.16.2
None of our released artifacts were affected by the recent
severe log4j2 vulnerability(CVE-2021-44228) as we were using
log4j1 in all our repositories except one where we had log4j2
as test dependency for phoenix-hive connector but it has also been
taken care of. However, this reminded us that there are still a few
critical vulnerabilities with our current log4j1 and we
are in process of replacing it with "reload4j" to
fix a few of the urgent CVEs. Though the long term plan is
to eventually move on to the latest version
We will be releasing Phoenix-thirdparty soon to bump the
commons-cli and Guava version
We reached the consensus of dropping the support of
Apache Tephra(a podling adopted 2 years ago )
from Phoenix due to a lack of interest from
the community to maintain it.
We are seeing interest and receiving code contributions
to support spark3 for Phoenix-connector.
## Community Health:
The community activities had been declining for the last
3 quarters after our major release 5.1.0, as more efforts
are spent on stabilizing the releases, rather than taking
up major features.
Traffic on dev and user list continues to decline from
the last few quarters by 24% and 12% respectively, and
the same trend is seen for code commits and new JIRAs.
though on a positive note we closed more JIRAs
then we opened this quarter and we have a steady
rate of code contributors

slight decrease in activity. Contributor has increased by 6% and we now have
52 active contributors. On the user mailing list side, we don't have notable

- No new committers. Last addition was Marius Volkhart on 2020-12-19.
## Project Activity:
- Release 5.2.0 was published recently. With this release we are
fully using the Gradle build-system and performed various
updates of dependencies, among them log4j-api.
- Result from applying fuzzy testing allowed to prevent a number of
cases where a broken input file could cause high memory usage or
other unexpected behaviour.
- A very active committer managed to process many bug-reports
and enhancement requests, thus keeping the overall bug-numbers
at bay since the last report.
- The library was improved in various areas, no single point of focus,
but more a continuous stream of bug-fixes and improvements in
various parts of the code.
- XMLBeans 5.0.3 was released as well with some bug-fixes,
mostly reported by users.
## Project Release Activity:
5.2.0 was released on 2022-01-14.
XMLBeans-5.0.3 was released on 2021-12-29.
5.1.0 was released on 2021-11-01.
## Community Health:
- Some Discussion about various aspects of the two handled projects.
- There are questions about features/behaviour which indicates that Apache
POI is used by a considerable number of people. Questions via email or on
Stackoverflow usually get answers quickly.
- We have a fairly constant small number of active committers currently.
However we are always looking at ways to broaden the developer base as the
code-base is large and so some areas are currently not maintained much at
all.
- This time the number of bugs increased because there is a constant stream
of reports/bugs/patches. Urgent issues and security reports are usually
handled quickly.
### XMLBeans
- A few issues were reported for XMLBeans combined with some discussions with
people still using it for other projects, it seems there are is a small but
active set of users of it besides Apache POI itself.
- Bug influx for XMLBeans is low in general because it is a stable project in
maintenance-mode.
## Bug Statistics:
### Apache POI
- 566 bugs are open overall (+5)
- Having 138 enhancements (+-0)
- Thus having 428 actual bugs (+5)

## Project Activity:
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) conducted various test beds this summer,
with two of them that included development works in Apache SIS. This work has
been reported in two OGC engineering reports published last December [1][2].
A joint OGC/OSGeo/ASF code sprint will happen in March [3]. We have submitted
a few ideas for eventual contributors to Apache SIS [4]. We are also involved
in proposals of more general interest than SIS only (related to OGC standards).
Code development is continuing steadily with bug fixes (especially around
GeoTIFF) and a few new features. There is probably enough material for a 1.2
release, but discussion didn't started yet (having a release before the code
sprint would be nice).

## Community Health:
The community health is stable, with the same situation than the one described
in previous report. We had a slight increase in the diversity of commits thanks
to a few relatively large merge requests.

Attachment BI: Report from the Apache Solr Project [Jan Høydahl]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Solr is the creation and maintenance of software related
to highly scalable distributed document search and analytics.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Solr was founded 2021-02-17 (a year ago), after 15 years as a Lucene
sub project.
There are currently 89 committers and 61 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Ilan Ginzburg on 2021-09-21.
- No new committers. Last addition was Michael Gibney on 2021-10-06.
## Project Activity:
We did two 8.x releases (joint with Lucene)
* 8.11.0 was released on 2021-11-16.
* 8.11.1 was released on 2021-12-16.
The 8.11.1 release was mainly to upgrade Log4j.
The solr-operator-v0.5.0 was released on 2021-11-16.
The major 9.0 release is being prepared as we speak, which will be the first
release as a separate TLP, using Lucene 9.0 as a dependency. The committers are
extremely active, both in landing some major re-structurings and fixing the last
blockers. The release will feature a new exciting Neural Search feature, and
increased modularization, hoping to slim down the core of Solr in future
releases. Several features have also been removed from Solr 9, including Data
Import Handler and Velocity Response Writer.
We aim to have the first RC for Solr 9.0.0 out for voting in February.
## Community Health:
Lists, JIRA and GitHub activity has seen dramatic increase since December when
the 9.0 release planning started.
We had a committer's video meeting on January 20th, and have agreed on
scheduling these quarterly, since we see great value from face-to-face meetings.
At the end of the meeting we give time for individuals to encourage another
committer for something they achieved or simply for being a good community
member.

Attachment BJ: Report from the Apache Spark Project [Matei Alexandru Zaharia]
Description:
Apache Spark is a fast and general purpose engine for large-scale data
processing. It offers high-level APIs in Java, Scala, Python, R and SQL as
well as a rich set of libraries including stream processing, machine learning,
and graph analytics.
Issues for the board:
- None
Project status:
- We released Apache Spark 3.2.1, a bug fix release for the 3.2 line,
in January.
- Two Spark Project Improvement Proposals (SPIPs) were recently accepted
by the community: Support for Customized Kubernetes Schedulers
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-36057) and Storage Partitioned
Join for Data Source V2 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-37375).
- We've migrated away from Spark’s original Jenkins CI/CD infrastructure,
which was graciously hosted by UC Berkeley on their clusters since 2013,
to GitHub Actions. Thanks to the Berkeley EECS department for hosting this
for so long!
- We added a new committer, Yuanjian Li, in December 2021.
- We added a new PMC member, Maciej Szymkiewicz, in January 2022.

Attachment BK: Report from the Apache Subversion Project [Nathan Hartman]
## Description:
The Apache Subversion® version control system exists to be universally
recognized and adopted as an open-source, centralized version control
solution characterized by its reliability as a safe haven for valuable
data; the simplicity of its model and usage; and its ability to
support the needs of a wide variety of users and projects, from
individuals to large-scale enterprise operations.
## Issues:
There are no Board-level issues at this time.
## Membership Data:
Our developer and user community is all-volunteer and we'd like to
begin by thanking everyone for their support.
Subversion was founded in February 2000 (22 years ago) and joined the
ASF to become Apache Subversion on 2010-02-16 (12 years ago). There
are currently 88 committers and 50 PMC members in this project. The
Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.
No new committers or PMC members have been added since the last
report. Our most recently added PMC member, Daniel Sahlberg
(dsahlberg@) joined the PMC in August 2021.
## Project Activity:
Our previous report mentioned a proof-of-concept called "Pristines On
Demand" which explores a long standing feature request known in our
issue tracker as Issue #525: https://subversion.apache.org/issue/525
This quarter, development has begun on an initial production-ready
version of the feature. Once implemented and when activated at the
user's option, this new feature could cut in half the amount of
storage space required to hold a Subversion working copy, at the
tradeoff of requiring additional network communication with the
repository server. This tradeoff makes sense in a number of
situations, such as when version controlling very large files that
change infrequently, or where network bandwidth is much cheaper than
storage space.
The feature is being developed in our "pristines-on-demand" branch
and an ongoing discussion is taking place our dev@ mailing list topic
"A two-part vision for Subversion and large binary objects," archived
at https://lists.apache.org/thread/ncs7y5j7zf7oxfjo7crl2nwcf1188brd
and other places. As always, interested parties are encouraged to join
our mailing lists and participate in discussions and development
activities.
Other improvements this quarter include fixes to Python bindings,
work on logging in XML format, improvements to the documentation, web
site, and Subversion client's built-in help text, new regression
tests, improvements to the regression testing infrastructure, fixed
compiler warnings, general cleanups, and triaging and closing of
obsolete and fixed issues in our issue tracker. For all of these
unglamorous but important efforts, we owe a big debt of gratitude to
all of our volunteers.
## Community Health:
Our biggest challenge is to secure a volunteer for Release Manager,
causing a delay in making the next release.
In the past, release managers often volunteered for this role for many
releases in a row. While this substantial investment of effort and
time is greatly appreciated by the community, it is unfair to the
volunteer and causes a vacuum that is difficult to fill when the
release manager is no longer able to volunteer for that role.
We had a recent discussion about the need for more rotation of the
Release Manager role within the project, with encouragement for a
release manager to step aside after managing the last minor release or
approximately two patch releases. Hopefully we will overcome this
challenge soon and be a healthier community as a result.

Attachment BL: Report from the Apache Superset Project [Maxime Beauchemin]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Superset is the creation and maintenance of software
related to data exploration, analysis, visualization, and dashboarding
## Issues:
Currently no issues
## Membership Data:
Apache Superset was founded 2020-11-17 (a year ago)
There are currently 53 committers and 29 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Srini Kadamati was added to the PMC on 2021-12-14
- AAfghahi was added as committer on 2021-12-07
- Jinghua Yao was added as committer on 2021-12-09
- Lyndsi Kay Williams was added as committer on 2021-11-03
- Mayur Newase was added as committer on 2021-11-09
## Project Activity:
Major: Superset v1.4 was just released a few weeks ago.
Minor: In Q4 2021, minor versions 1.3.0, 1.3.1, and 1.3.2 were released.
## Community Health:
Sharp rise in commits can be probably ascribed to the large volume of bug fixes
that came in the lead up to v1.4. Superset is definitely stabilizing more
and more.
In our open Slack community for Superset, weekly active members crossed 1,000
for the first time last quarter! Membership overall grew from ~4800 to ~5500
in Q4.
We were excited to see a nice rise in diversity of contributors to
the Superset code base, and we hope this continues.

Attachment BT: Report from the Apache Xalan Project [Gary D. Gregory]
## Description:
Apache Xalan exists to promote the use of XSLT. We view XSLT (Extensible
Stylesheet Language Transformations) as a compelling paradigm that transforms
XML documents, thereby facilitating the exchange, transformation, and
presentation of knowledge. The ability to transform XML documents into usable
information has great potential to improve the functionality and use of
information systems. We intend to build freely available XSLT processing
components in order to engender such improvements.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Xalan was founded 2004-09-30 (17 years ago)
There are currently 57 committers and 5 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Bill Blough on 2019-02-19.
- No new committers. Last addition was Bill Blough on 2019-03-20.
## Project Activity:
In this reporting period, we have not released new software and have not added
new features. There has been a recent flare up of interest in reviving Xalan-J
development to bring it in line with newer versions of W3C specifications.
The last Xalan-J release was July 24 2014.
The last Xalan-C++ release was October 22 2005.
## Community Health:
I would describe the health or the Xalan project as poor with little activity
with a chance of improvement due to recent interest in Xalan-J.
