4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]
I'd like to draw attention to the Conferences report, I'm really
impressed. Thanks for everyone putting in all the hard work to make
these events happen.
Once again the ratio of missing reports, reports requiring follow up
and reports that are timely and receiving plenty of pre-approvals
appears fairly stable. Project reports are doing better than
executive officer reports in that regard.
B. President [David Nalley]
It's been a relatively slow month.
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 8.
C. Treasurer [Craig R. McClanahan]
This month continued focus on several tasks from the month before,
including access to Accounts Payable systems for various sponsors and
donors, as well as working with planning for spending and payment
processing for the upcoming ApacheCon conference.
In addition, this was the first month working with our new cloud
accountant at IgniteSpot. That experience has been very positive so
far.
Also, work has begun on preparing input data for the Form 990 report
that we must submit to the IRS annually.
D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]
In June, the secretary team received 39 ICLAs, 1 CCLA, and 3 software
grants. Ongoing discussions with the Infra team around how to handle
MFA resets.
E. Executive Vice President [Ruth Suehle]
No significant updates. ApacheCon planning proceeds well.
F. Vice Chair [Shane Curcuru]
Nothing to report this month.
Executive officer reports approved as submitted by General Consent.

Attachment 3: Report from the VP of Marketing and Publicity [Joe Brockmeier]
# ASF M&P report for July
July was a bit more active but no major issues or surprises.
## ApacheCon press request
We've received a request around travel funding to cover ApacheCon. We're
currently considering the request and may seek budget to cover as it may be
outside the current M&P budget. Spend should be no more than $5,000 and
probably considerably less.
## July announcements
The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache® ShenYu™ as a Top-Level
Project
"Apache ShenYu is a Java-native API Gateway for service proxy, protocol
conversion, and API governance. It provides a component-rich, easy to extend,
and simple to deploy API gateway that reduces costs. ShenYu Gateway is
written in Java and its components support multiple languages including .NET,
Python, Go, and Java, and deployment with Lua, NGINX, Kubernetes, and
Docker."
https://s.apache.org/z1pam
## M&P discussions on comdev list and Slack
As there's no public discuss list for marketing at the ASF, I reached out to
the comdev list and asked if there were any objections to guiding M&P public
discussions to the dev@comdev mailing list.
Received no objections and a few +1's, so I plan to start trying to sparking
more discussions in public around M&P to expand and improve our marketing
efforts.
We have a "first contributions" campaign proposed by Constantia that we'll be
starting discussion around in the next week, which makes a good starting point
for those public discussions.
Have also created a slack channel in the ASF Slack (the-asf.slack.com) for
anyone who'd like to find M&P in real time (no guarantees...). The boring but
aptly named channel #marketing-publicity-public should be open to anyone on
the slack to join and ask questions or open discussions. Currently only a
handful of folks in the channel but I hope that'll change.
## Replacing press release boilerplate
We've re-worked the lengthy ASF boilerplate with a shorter version. We plan to
start using this in August:
About The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)
Founded in 1999, the Apache Software Foundation exists to provide software for
the public good with support from more than 70 sponsors. ASF’s open source
software is used ubiquitously around the world with more than 8,400 committers
contributing to 320+ active projects including Apache Superset, Apache Camel,
Apache Flink, Apache HTTP Server, Apache Kafka, and Apache Airflow. The
Foundation’s open source projects and community practices are considered
industry standards, including the widely adopted Apache License 2.0, the
podling incubation process, and a consensus-driven decision model that enables
projects to build strong communities and thrive. https://apache.org
ASF’s annual ApacheCon event is where open source technologists convene to
share best practices and use cases, forge critical relationships, and learn
about advancements in their field. https://www.apachecon.com/
The previous boilerplate can be found on any recent press release, such as the
ShenYu TLP announcement: https://s.apache.org/z1pam
## Other activity in July
Outside of announcements, we continued work on "keeping the lights on" type
work, including:
* A website assessment with recommendations from Constantia on improving front
page navigation.
* Started promoting the D&I survey.
* Standard social media promotions.
* New Q&A template for graduating projects.
* Reviewed crisis comms plan, now largely final.

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
==========
- Upgraded to new LDAP infrastructure, based on recent tech. We were
being held back by the old FreeBSD-based mail server. That was
replaced last month, removing the gate on the LDAP upgrade.
Long Range Priorities
=====================
- New Artifacts platform.
General Activity
================
- Upgraded Confluence (cwiki.a.o), to deal with issues related to
password resets on non-LDAP-based accounts.
- LDAP upgrade; see Highlights.
- Various fallout from the LDAP upgrade, with a few references to the
old servers found in some projects. Infra services have all been
upgraded and are now stable. Docco has been updated to give us
pointers next time this needs to happen.
- The new Agenda Tool has grown functionality to listen to pubsub and
maintain a websocket to the client. Base level bits, mostly testing
out the async subsystems.
- Continued work on artifacts.a.o, and some coordination with the
Security Team to discover requirements.
- More Apache HBase build/test nodes.
- Pelican work (described last month) is progressing well.
- Completed work to add another buildbot worker, as part of our
Pelican-based content workflow.
- Lots of Artifactory work, to fix/improve our base Ubuntu 22.04
system and better deal with our signing certificates.
- Initial support for ARM systems, and a Jenkins node.
- Our Vault proof of concept is moving along, for projects to be able
to store secrets (primarily: for Github Public Runners).
- Initial work on a Slack bot to assist Infra with its work, in terms
of monitoring/alerts/escalation, dashboards, functions, etc.
- Exploring a new workflow for Jira account creations, to reduce
ticket spam.
- Considering a new mechanism for tracking our large set of JDKs,
Maven and Ant version, etc on our build nodes.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Conferences [Rich Bowen]
We are now about 60 days out from ApacheCon North America, in New Orleans. We
are finalizing keynotes and sponsor keynotes, and other plans for the event.
Further details at https://apachecon.com/ We currently have a little
over 200 registrations, and are targeting around 350 for the event.
Pulsar, Cassandra, and Kafka are planning community events, which are now
listed at https://events.apache.org/
Here is the report of ApacheCon Asia 2022
There were 192 sessions with 256 speakers, 18 keynotes, and 17 tracks in this
conference. Mark Thomas, the most productive speaker, submitted 4
presentations (including a Keynote speech). The big data track and messaging
track both had 36 sessions presented.
We had 23 track chairs and about 40 volunteers involved in this event. During
the preparation phase, they collected pre-recorded presentations, added
translation subtitles for the keynotes.
We would like to thank our sponsors of this event Huawei, SELECTDB, Baidu,
timecho, Amazon, API7
We had 2566 registrations on the Bagevent, and we sold 172 individual
donation tickets (each ticket for 199 RMB includes 50 RMB donation to ASF)
91K people watched the conference (through all the broadcast channels), peak
attendees was about 1K. 3 Days Keynote average visit 1.4K, peak visit 2.2K,
the average watch time of keynote is 50 mins. The average session track
visitor is about 600, average watch time is 30 mins.
We added three new tracks, compared with Apachecon Asia 2021, they are
“Culture”, “RPC” and “AI”， so it covered more areas and attracted more
developers
We invited some young talents to give keynote speeches, they are college
students and are very active in apache projects, boys and girls. the
diversity of the keynote is much better than last time.
We have well controlled the expenditure and finally generated a surplus, which
will be contributed back to the Apache foundation.

Attachment G: Report from the Apache Cassandra Project [Michael Semb Wever]
## Description:
Apache Cassandra software is a highly scalable second-generation distributed
database.
## Issues:
Per INFRA's notice all debian and redhat packages on dist.a.o will be removed,
as they are already checked and signed per disto norms and the project does
not wish to add superfluous checks and sigs (and have to re-vote on all past
releases). The project will host these convenience binaries instead on
apache.jfrog.io (which is also better purposed for such).
## Membership Data:
Apache Cassandra was founded 2010-02-17 (12 years ago)
There are currently 71 committers and 36 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Dinesh Joshi on 2021-05-20.
- Jacek Lewandowski was added as committer on 2022-07-14
## Project Activity:
Project releases since last report: 4.1-alpha1, 4.0.5, 4.0.4, 3.11.13 and
3.0.27.
The community's focus is currently on fixing flaky tests to be able to release
4.1-beta1. Progress is visible at https://s.apache.org/usdv9
The project organised the Cassandra World Party in the beginning of August,
and is helping to organise Cassandra Days Berlin later in August and ApacheCon
in October. The Cassandra track received more than three times as many talks
as we could accept. More Cassandra Days are planned this year and next. The
community will also participate in the Grace Hopper Conference in September.
Community blog posts and changelog articles continue to come out on a regular
basis, thanks to Chris Thornett, Diogenese Topper and Erick Ramirez. 14 blogs
have been published in the past quarter, these include feature deep-dives,
project activity reports (changelogs), contributor interviews, and company
case studies.
## Community Health:
Community health is strong. New contributors continue to appear.
Keeping a stable trunk remains a challenge. Particularly when suites of ~50k
tests can be run on different hardware and CI systems. Average test failures
on builds for each branch continue to drop (bc lots of hard work).
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. See https://s.apache.org/0heaa

## Project Activity:
ALC
We had another good quarter for the ALC Chapters' activities.
ALC Beijing hosted a virtual online event ApacheCon Asia 2022 at
the end of the previous month. The conference had 210+ sessions
with 256 speakers. We got 2.5K people registered and
more than 50K people watched the live broadcast (There are some channels
that don't need registration).
ALC Shenzhen members supported in the execution of ApacheCon Asia and
helped and guided Apache Inlong and ShenYu for their graduation process.
We also collaborate with Chitkara University to establish
Open Source Chandigarh [1] in their University.
Swapnil M Mane from the ALC will have multiple sessions next month
in their University to spread the awareness on ASF and Open Source.
GSoC
This year in GSoC, we are mentoring 38 participants across 14 Apache projects,
more details are available at [2].
Currently, mentors are evaluating mid term status report of the participants
and planning to finish the projects in the defined timelines of the GSoC.
ApacheCon NA
We had a successful response to the CFP for ApacheCon NA
and received over 25 submissions, and we selected 13 proposals
for the two day Community track [3] (please refer to the Community section).
## Community Health:
Our dev mailing list had slightly reduced traffic (17% decrease in traffic)
as compared to the past quarter (178 emails compared to 213 in the past quarter)
because in the past to past quarter, the majority of
traffic was because of GSoC discussions, proposals, and activities
related to it in Jira which was not the case for the past quarter.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was James Turton on 2022-01-23.
- No new committers. Last addition was Tengfei Wang on 2022-02-22.
## Project Activity:
Drill 1.20.2 was released on August 3rd. This is a largely bugfix release and
complete release notes are available here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12313820&version=12351742
Also of note is that the Drill community is working on Drill 2.0 which will
have significant improvements from Drill 1.XX. Thanks to Vova Vystoskyi, we
recently merged a very significant pull request. For the last three years,
Drill has been using a fork of Calcite, which effectively meant that we were
stuck with a rapidly aging version of Calcite. More importantly was that
we were missing out on the last three years of bug fixes and performance
improvements in Calcite. A few weeks ago, we merged this pull request and we
are seeing significant performance improvements.
James Turton did some initial benchmarks on the TPC-H queries and found that
Drill with the new Calcite is about 50% faster than Drill with the old version
of Calcite.

Petri, and Arnold.
Major features that landed with these releases:
code significantly improved to support database independence.
PostgreSQL is officially supported.
better performance and JPA compliance through the usageof EclipseLink
Upcoming features:
read/write separation.
significant improvements in business time handling (COB)
Spring Batch integration to replace Quartz jobs
We have added Committers and PMC Members over the past few months.
Responses to issues on the mailing lists have been timely and helpful to eh
community.
The next release 1.8.0 is due shortly (next week if no last-minute bugs).
Starting with this release we'll have a process to deliver maintenance
releases (for critical bugs and security issues). Rules are not yet entirely
set in stone, but we'll try to provide support for two minor releases
including the most recent release.
## Community Health:
A sharp rise in the number of contributors and an increase in the contribution
rate is due to developers and companies giving back to the upstream Fineract
Project. We also have a few interns doing work as part of GSoC 2022.

reliable service for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large
amounts of log data
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache Flume was founded 2012-06-20 (10 years ago)
There are currently 33 committers and 25 PMC members in this project.

## Community Health:
The community shows low activity, but we still seem to have the
necessary number of people around.
Even though we have 25 PMC members in the project, it's worth mentioning
that only 10 or less are active.
Similarly, although there are 33 committers (with 25 of them being PMC
members), the reality is that in addition to the active PMC members we
only have 1 active committer.

Attachment T: Report from the Apache FreeMarker Project [Dániel Dékány]
## Description:
Apache FreeMarker is a template engine, i.e. a generic tool to generate text
output based on templates. Apache FreeMarker is implemented in Java as a class
library for programmers.
FreeMarker 2 (the current stable line) produces releases since 2002. The
FreeMarker project has joined the ASF in 2015, and graduated from the
Incubator in early 2018.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Activity was low in recent months.
## Health report:
Activity is low but steady, as is usual for this project. User questions
(mostly on StackOverflow) and new Jira issues are being answered promptly. The
short term goal is to polish native java.time support (FREEMARKER-35), and
release it with 2.3.32. This progresses very slowly, but is moving ahead. The
long term goal is continuing the ongoing development on the 3.0 branch, so
that the project can innovate and the code base can become much cleaner and
more attractive for new committers.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 7 PMC members.
- No changes since the graduation on 2018-03-21
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 8 committers.
- Last added: Siegfried Goeschl on 2020-01-07
## Releases:
- 2.3.31 was released on 2021-02-16

JIRA issues and notably adds support for JDK 17 as well as connection
re-authentication.
## Community Health:
After the 1.15.0 release was complete, we decided to remove the CODEOWNERS
review requirement as the implementation imposed an onerous burden and
significantly slowed down PR review and merging.
We have seen a significant decline in PR and JIRA activity in July compared
to prior months/years.

Released 2.0 containing an upgrade to Java 11 in June.
Working on 2.1 which wil mainly be a bugfix release.
Also creating a roadmap for major functions we will be working on in the future.
## Community Health:
Overall the community is growing, receiving interest from other Apache
projects. We are also starting to receive more contributions from non-core
contributors. We hope to add a couple of those contributors to our committer
team. Our mailing list is a bit underused, people tend to use the direct
communication channels more but we as PMC are trying to get them on the lists.

Attachment AF: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Justin Mclean]
# Incubator PMC report for August 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 34 podlings incubating. Podlings made 5 distinct
releases. ShenYu graduated last month, Crail has retired, and HiveMall is
still deciding on retirement. This month we were missing reports from
Annotator, DataLab, EventMesh, Flagon, Livy, Marvin-AI, Milagro, PageSpeed,
Pegasus, PonyMail, Sedona, Spot, Teaclave, Toree and Training. All will be
asked to report next month.
We are currently having an issue with podlings submitting reports and
getting mentor signoff, even when podlings have been reminded or noted as
needed to report in previous reports. This points to a lack of PPMC and
mentor engagement. Some podlings are having issues finalising retiring, and
some have very low activity. The IPMC will discuss what to do.
There was one IP clearance in July.
Some Podlings shared their stories and the Apache experience at ApacheCon
Asia.
Most discussions on the mailing list were around releases.

## Project Activity:
JSPWiki 2.11.3 was released on Aug, 2nd, featuring complete wiki
syntax pluggability, allowing full Markdown support (except for
some pending quirks) and Engine Extensions, which allow easier
integration of 3rd party libraries. Also, 2.11.3 contained fixes
For 5 CVEs. Work on 2.11.3 has had a slow pace of development,
but nothing unexpected.
Finally, we got looked into another vulnerability report, which
was rejected.
## Community Health:
Traffic on both MLs had an increase compared with last quarter,
most probable due to 2.11.3 release, and an emeritus pmc member
coming back to dev@j.a.o
We merged a handful of PRs from a contributor which contained
code improvements.
2.11.3 release vote showed a couple of community votes, which
is rather unusual, so we'll keep an eye for future committer/PMC
members.
There is enough people to provide project oversight.

We have had a number of new community members contribute patches
recently and look forward to addition contributions from them!
We continue to discuss new features on the email lists and have
determined that a KIP one-pager should be written to propose a
feature to enable Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE) as part of KnoxSSO.
This will likely target the 2.0.0 or maybe a 2.0.1 release.
We will begin to discuss timing and content for a 1.6.2 release in
coming days.
## Community Health:
Community health related metrics are showing a bit of an uptick
in mailing list traffic and closed PRs. We have committed a couple
contributions from new community members. New feature development
should drive these metrics and renewed community interest as we look
toward emerging identity related features and usecases.

Attachment AR: Report from the Apache ManifoldCF Project [Karl Wright]
## Description:
The mission of ManifoldCF is the creation and maintenance of software related
to Framework for connecting source content repositories to target repositories
or indexes.
## Issues:
No issues to report at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache ManifoldCF was founded 2012-05-15 (10 years ago) There are currently 25
committers and 14 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 7:4.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Markus Schuch on 2018-01-04.
- No new committers. Last addition was Cihad Guzel on 2019-08-17.
## Project Activity:
ManifoldCF graduated from the Apache Incubator on May 16, 2012. Since then,
there have been numerous major releases, including a 2.22 release in late
April and a 2.22.1 patch release in early May. The next major release, 2.23,
is planned for August 30th. A release candidate is not yet available.
This quarter's activities were already discussed in June and involved major
revisions to underlying dependencies.
The log4j fiasco impacted pretty near every dependency ManifoldCF has, and
many of the libraries we had to upgrade did not maintain backwards
compatibility. All told, three weeks of steady development effort was
required for this. Since then, other dependency work has also been
needed.
Automated tools that check for "bad" versions of libraries are becoming a
problem for us because many older jars have no replacement, e.g. Axis 1.4.x,
and yet still come up as having CVE vulnerabilities. It is of little use to
explain to users that ManifoldCF is a consumer of internal trusted content and
exploits cannot be triggered unless such internal content is compromised.
Redevelopment, or the discarding of many of ManifoldCF's connectors would be
the only way to get past such concerns.
## Community Health:
We nominated and approved Cihad Guzel as committer on 8/16/2019. We nominated
and approved Markus Schuch as a PMC member on 12/29/2017. We did not sign up
any new PMC members or committers this quarter, but there has been a lot of
activity now and I think it is likely we will ask new committers and new PMC
members on board by the end of September. We do need enough PMC members
who are not on break for this to take place.

Attachment AT: Report from the Apache OpenOffice Project [Jim Jagielski]
## DESCRIPTION
Apache OpenOffice is an open-source office-document productivity suite. There
are six productivity applications based around the OpenDocument Format (ODF)
that are Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, Base. With limited support for
other file formats, OpenOffice ships for Windows, macOS, Linux and in 41
languages.
### History
2020-10-24—300 million downloads of Apache OpenOffice (binary installation
files)
2020-10-14—20-year anniversary of OpenOffice
2016-10-18—200 million downloads of Apache OpenOffice (binary installation
files)
2014-04-17—100 million downloads of Apache OpenOffice (binary installation
files)
2012-10-17—Apache OpenOffice was established as Top-Level Project (TLP)
2011-06-13—OpenOffice.org was accepted as Incubator project in the ASF
with the new name Apache OpenOffice
## SUMMARY
Latest Release (4.1.13) was in July 2022. The community activity in general
is on a low but sustainable level. A major obstacle is the complex code and
build system. Therefore, it is not easy for new people to gain a foothold into
the code when the first build is hard to be done. There is recent activity to
update the building guides to make it easier to get builds working.
## RELEASES
We are working in parallel on 2 release lines:
1) 4.2.0 is the next minor release, planned to be released into a beta phase.
We have missed our goal on going into the beta in 2019. We managed only to
solve the biggest blockers. Currently, a new dev test version is released to
be more widely tested. An alpha and/or beta release is planned for the next
quarter.
For that release, we are improving the translation process. We can now
sync our translation server Pootle with the code. Together with ASF Infrastructure,
we were able to set up a new (updated) translate VM.
Presently, we support 65 languages in Pootle. We plan to add some new
languages to the 4.2.0 release.
2) We have started the process for the planned release 4.1.14.
The motivation in still maintaining the 4.1.x release line is not very high.
Therefore, we will shut it down as soon as we have a stable release of 4.2.x.
## LATEST RELEASE HISTORY
2022-07-22 4.1.13
2022-05-04 4.1.12
2021-10-06 4.1.11

## COMMUNITY HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Community overall health is improving.
We have discussed a project Mission Statement draft on the developers list and
completed the final revisions. It is available at the following address:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/The+Public+Service+Mission+of+Apache+OpenOffice
### FrOSCon 2022 Conference
The conference will be end of August in Sankt Augustin/Germany, and we will be
present with a booth.
## INFRASTRUCTURE
Our Windows and Linux build bots are now migrated to new server.
We are working on a Mac build bot to enhance our changes. The machine
is sponsored by MacStadium.
We are working on a new migration of our MWiki wiki.oo.o and Forums to a new VM.
While updating, we will also test OpenGrok to move to a container architecture.
We are now publishing the Windows builds in the Microsoft Store (Windows 10/11).
This is another way to reach Windows users—as our main user group -
where they expect to find the official Apache OpenOffice software.
### Google Analytics
Apache OpenOffice no longer uses Google Analytics on openoffice.org and
is planning to remove it from our other websites.
## MARKETING
Due to corona, all live action marketing has been currently postponed.
We have reorganized the flyer activity. Currently, we are preparing material
for the next year.
### Facebook
We have one Volunteer representing Apache OpenOffice on Facebook. The activity
is irregular. Most engagement is helping users with issues. Articles reach
about 2.2K People.
### Twitter
One person maintains our Twitter account.
## DEVELOPMENT
### Apple Code Signing
We have done one signed test build and the AOO 4.1.8 macOS DMG images are also
signed. However, since Apple has changed the standards, users may still see a
Gatekeeper warning (this is due to the AOO 4.1.x builds requiring an older
SDK). Signing is done manually but via scripting and follows Apple's preferred
process:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution/customizing_the_notarization_workflow
### Windows Code Signing
We sign all Windows installer since the AOO 4.1.8 release. There is some
discussion to switch from the current Installer to an MSI installer. But there
are technical hurdles to be solved. Windows code signing is currently a manual
process.
### Unmaintained Python 2 code
Python 2 is unmaintained. We have in the development tree the external python3
support. Internal python 3 support is difficult. We are checking alternatives.
Planned for the next major release.
### New ODF Version
Our default file format, the Open Document Format, has received a new Standard
update. We plan to support this format.

## Project Activity:
Pull requests and discussions related to the new scheduler in core OpenWhisk
continue to be the main technical focus of project development.
The project also recently upgraded its build system across all of its
sub-projects from Gradle 5 to Gradle 6. This combined with an extension to the
programming model to allow OpenWhisk functions to return arrays in addition to
JSON objects will drive a wave of releases in the upcoming quarter.
Recent releases:
- openwhisk-runtime-go-1.19.0 was released on 2022-05-24.
- openwhisk-runtime-nodejs-1.20.0 was released on 2022-05-24.
- openwhisk-wskdebug-1.4.0 was released on 2022-05-06.
## Community Health:
As reported last quarter, interest in the new scheduler implementation
continues to drive an increase in activity in comparison to the previous
couple of quarters. Hopefully this will continue and we can leverage that
increased engagement to complete the long overdue next release of the
core openwhisk system.

Active Development is going on Phoenix High Availability Feature
which enables it to connect to a pair of HBase clusters
supports disaster recovery.
Development to migrate log4j to log4j2 is completed.
Work to remove the Ttephra transactional system from Phoenix is going on as
Tephra has old dependencies having high score CVEs and Apache attic libraries
like Twill as there is no interest from the community to contribute to Tephra.
Completed development of dropping support for HBase
versions 2.1 and 2.2 from Apache Phoenix
as they were already EOL'ed a long time back.
## Community Health:
Phoenix community continues to remain active,
though sometimes most of the contributions
and discussions come from a few individuals.
The reporting tool complaining about -24% decline of
dev traffic but the traffic of user@, dev@ and @issues is
slightly higher compare with last quarter as good amount
discussion/reviews on the priority JIRAs/PRs related to
new feature development of Phoenix High Availability,
cleanup the EOL'ed HBase versions like 2.1,2,2 and 1.x
and test case failures etc.
We had a -61% decline in commit@ and closed PRs(-21%) in
issues@phoenix.apache.org as the work is going on
priority JIRAs/PRs.

## Community Health:
- There are some questions about features/behaviour which indicates
that Apache POI is in active use. Questions via email or on Stackoverflow
usually get answers quickly.
- We have a very small number of active committers. So 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.
- Bug-numbers stayed fairly constant, some bugs were resolved, but a similar
number of bugs was reported.
Urgent issues and security reports are usually handled quickly.
### XMLBeans
- A few issues were reported and fixed for XMLBeans. 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.

Attachment BM: 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:
- Apache Spark was honored to receive the SIGMOD System Award this year, given
by SIGMOD (the ACM’s data management research organization) to impactful
real-world and research systems.
- We recently released Apache Spark 3.3.0, a feature release that improves
join query performance via Bloom filters, increases the Pandas API coverage
with the support of popular Pandas features such as datetime.timedelta and
merge_asof, simplifies the migration from traditional data warehouses by
improving ANSI SQL compliance and supporting dozens of new built-in
functions, boosts development productivity with better error handling,
autocompletion, performance, and profiling.
- We released Apache Spark 3.2.2, a bug fix release for the 3.2 line, on July
17th.
- A Spark Project Improvement Proposal (SPIP) for Spark Connect was voted on
and accepted. Spark Connect introduces a lightweight client/server API for
Spark (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-39375) that will allow
applications to submit work to a remote Spark cluster without running the
heavyweight query planner in the client, and will also decouple the client
version from the server version, making it possible to update Spark without
updating all the applications.
- The community started a major effort to improve Structured Streaming
performance, usability, APIs, and connectors called Project Lightspeed
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-40025), and we'd love to get
feedback and contributions on that.
- We added three new PMC members, Huaxin Gao, Gengliang Wang and Maxim Gekk,
in June 2022.
- We added a new committer, Xinrong Meng, in July 2022.
Trademarks:
- No changes since the last report.
Latest releases:
- Spark 3.3.0 was released on June 16, 2022.
- Spark 3.2.2 was released on July 17, 2022.
- Spark 3.1.3 was released on February 18, 2022.
Committers and PMC:
- The latest committer was added on July 13rd, 2022 (Xinrong Meng).
- The latest PMC member was added on June 28th, 2022 (Huaxin Gao).

Attachment BN: 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 (22.5 years ago) and joined
the ASF to become Apache Subversion on 2010-02-16 (12.5 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:
Ongoing maintenance work has continued this quarter, including:
* Fixes in Subversion's build system
* Better Python compatibility
* Extensive updates to the Swedish translation
* Improvements in tooling scripts and documentation to better assist
future Subversion release managers
* A client-side script to assist users who need to cache Subversion
client credentials in plaintext
That last item is the outcome of numerous discussions, debates, and
even complaints since plaintext credential storage has been disabled
by default at build-time starting in Subversion 1.12.
It turns out, though, that plaintext storage is appropriate and even
necessary in some situations. Users who need this feature have been
quite vocal in requesting it. Until now, the only solution we could
suggest to such users was to build Subversion themselves and enable
plaintext storage at build time, but this can be a non-trivial
undertaking. The new script provides a middle ground, allowing users
to explicitly store a credential in plaintext, with appropriate
warnings documented within the script itself and at our FAQ entry
which discusses credential storage at length and provides the link to
the script: https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#plaintext-passwords
## Community Health:
Activity tends to come in waves around here, with peaks of energy
around release time followed by a few calmer, quieter months as our
volunteers get busy with other work.
This summer has been one of the quieter quarters, following closely on
the heels of several action-packed months that saw new feature
development in Pristines On Demand, updates to our release policy, and
the simultaneous releases of Subversion 1.10.8 and 1.14.2.
Our community is fully volunteer-driven and we would like to thank
everyone for their support.

about this new major version.
We remark that the work towards Syncope 3.0.0 had led to cooperation with Open
Source projects external to the ASF as Apereo CAS and Pac4j.
Bugfix and refinements keep occurring on branch 2_1_X, from which we recently
cut a new release, 2.1.12.
## Community Health:
Discussions about new features and improvements keep appearing and being
followed up in dev@.
Newcomers approach user@ and are getting supported by the community.
GitHub's Pull Requests confirm to be the preferred way to contributions, from
both first-time contributors and committers.

## Description:
The mission of Turbine is the creation and maintenance of software related to A
Java Servlet Web Application Framework and associated component library
## Issues:
The Turbine project has no board-level issues at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache Turbine was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago)
There are currently 12 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 4:3.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Jeffery Painter on 2017-11-12.
- No new committers. Last addition was Youngho on 2021-12-06.
## Project Activity:
Core code contributions and code cleanup took place. In other respects this
was a quite quarter. Last main release was Turbine Core 5.1 on
2021-12-13. No Fulcrum components are released this quarter.
## Community Health:
This quarter's Turbine activity has below average level.
As discussion already took place about the next development steps
- which were very openminded - we are still more or less in a waiting state
or holding point, where and how to begin with exactly (what the big
picture should be, how to keep up with upcoming Java releases and their
impact on the project).
This includes also a step forward preparing a new (main) release, which
is always a chance to engage more of the community (probably more, if done
as a minor release).

Attachment BW: 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 (18 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:
The project activity is very low. There have been no releases during this
reporting period.
The dev mailing list has had a flurry of messages around my proposal to move
Xalan-J (the Java component as opposed to Xalan-C) to the Attic and
CVE-2022-34169 "Apache Xalan Java XSLT library is vulnerable to an integer
truncation issue when processing malicious XSLT stylesheets".
While there has been some interest on the dev mailing list to not move Xalan-J
to the attic, only one PMC member has shown interest.
## Community Health:
The community health is poor. There does not seem to be institutional
knowledge left. I was the last person to release Xalan-J in 2014. On the Java
side of the house, the Apache Xalan Java project is dormant and I proposed to
start the process of being retired. No future releases of Apache Xalan Java to
address CVE-2022-34169 are expected. This could change of course. Here is what
low activity and poor health look like:
- dev@xalan.apache.org had a 7% increase in traffic in the past quarter (14
emails compared to 13)
- 4 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (no change)
- 1 commit in the past quarter (100% increase)
- 1 code contributor in the past quarter (100% increase)
- 2 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (100% increase)
- 1 PR closed on GitHub, past quarter (100% increase)
