Approved by General Consent.
4. Executive Officer Reports
A. Board Chair [Sander Striker]
April Fools is behind us again; returning to seriousness. This month, we
review and aim to approve the Budget.
I am very pleased that we were able to extend our welcome to 45 new Members.
It's hard to have a conversation where AI does not come up. With the
announcement of our Responsible AI initiative I am looking forward to seeing
us lead in times of uncertainty, just like the ASF was able to do its early
years.
In closing, the TODO list I compiled for myself around the Members Meeting,
both for follow up after the most recent one as well as in preparation for
next one, is longer than I expected. It will take me some time to complete it
fully.
B. President [Ruth Suehle]
First of all, congratulations to all and thanks so much to everyone who came
together to make the Responsible AI Initiative and related donations happen
this month. It was a lot of work pulled together very quickly.
In other very exciting news (at least to me!, as it simplifies check
deposits), our TD Bank account has finally been transferred from David to me.
I have been invited to participate as a speaker on behalf of the ASF at UN
Open Source Week this year.
And of course, official welcome to new EVP Daniel Ruggeri. I'm working on
getting him up to speed!
Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 11.
C. Treasurer [Craig McClanahan]
Normal operations continue, and I have sent the financial reports for March
2026 to the board@ mailing list.
One thing (that I mentioned in my email) is also relevant here -- the
Anthropic contribution of $1.5m (to the Responsible AI Initiative) has been
invoiced, but not yet received. Therefore, it shows up as a large increase in
one-time contributions (on the Income Statement), as well as a large increase
in the Accounts Receivable balance (on the Balance Sheet).
Accounting for this contribution in the future will depend on Board direction
for things like "do we want to track expenditures explicitly against this
contribution (mostly feasible, but complicated) or not. Our historical
precedent has been, other than for specifically targeted donations, we don't
try to separate this kind of thing out.
D. Secretary [Matt Sicker]
In March, the secretary received 38 ICLAs, one CCLA, 44 membership
applications, and 15 CoI affirmations.
E. Executive Vice President [Daniel Ruggeri]
Glad to be on board! No special or interesting status to report. I am gearing up for being able to support and seeking areas to lean in, in coordination with Ruth
F. Vice Chair [Justin Mclean]
Nothing to report.

Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Tooling [Dave Fisher]
## Tooling
### Apache Trusted Releases (ATR)
Our AI driven ASVS L1 and L2 security audit was completed. We are moving
through these issues.
- 9 critical issues - all closed
- 28 high with 22 closed and 1 deferred intil after the beta release
- 78 medium with 25 closed and 13 deferred
- 65 lows with 40 closed and 6 deferred (so far)
The bulk of these ASVS issues lead to improved code quality, security
resilience, and documentation.
We are offering to help PMCs with an ASVS audit.
ATR is part of Infra's new test of MFA login services. It works quite well.
We missed doing a quick Alpha 3 in late March or early April, but early May
looks feasible. Currently we plan to release a near production beta in this
calendar quarter.
### Board Agenda Tool (BAT)
We will need to discuss with the board any new or enhanced features before
committing to further development.

Attachment 9: Report from the VP of Data Privacy [Christian Grobmeier]
-----------------------------------------
Attachment 10: Report from the VP of Public Affairs [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
TLDR: Nothing that needs board attention.
- EU CRA Guidance document.
Consensus is that this guidance document is already rather good - and clearly
identify who is responsible for what (TLDR - mostly the commercial party
placing things on the market).
We worked with the Open Regulatory Working Group to provide (relatively
minor/detailed) comments to the guidelines:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16959-Draft-Commission-guidance-on-the-Cyber-Resilience-Act/F33391529_en
And submitted(by the time your read this) a short `we support this'.

March
* Worked together with Infra to respond to the breach of a 3rd-party
component, Trivy
(https://infra.apache.org/blog/trivy_security_incident.html) and put into
place stronger protections for such issues going forward.
* Report load has seen another significant increase compared to last month.

In total, as of 1st Apr 2026, we're tracking 629 (last months: 440, 359) open
issues across 119 projects, median age 47 days (last months: 64, 79). 163 of
those issues have CVE names assigned. 28 (last months: 22, 25) of these
issues, across 12 projects, are older than 365 days.
* openoffice (Health red): Several issues in OpenOffice are over 365 days old.
They are not severe enough to warrant stopping distribution of OpenOffice.
The November release fixed the most serious and complex ones, making space
to now focus on the remaining issues. (Last update: 2026-03-10)
* fineract (Health amber): there are a number of open issues over a year old.
The PMC is making progress with documentation and architectural changes, and
more focus expected to close out these issues. (Last update: 2026-01-06)
* spark (Health amber): the project has a backlog of security reports to be
triaged (Last update: 2026-03-18)
* superset (Health amber): while the project is actively publishing fixes to
security issues each release, there is concern about a growing backlog.
(Last update: 2026-03-03)
* thrift (Health amber): the PMC does not appear to have the bandwidth to
triage incoming reports in a timely fashion (Last update: 2026-02-05)

Attachment A: Report from the Apache Accumulo Project [Ed Coleman]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based
access control and customizable server-side processing.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with moderate to high activity.
Issues for the board: None.
## Membership Data:
Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (14 years ago)
There are currently 43 committers and 39 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. It is our practice to
invite committers to be PMC members at the same time. The difference between
committers and PMC members is because some PMC members have elected to go
emeritus.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Kevin Rathbun on 2024-07-24.
- No new committers. Last addition was John Kucera on 2025-06-04.
## Project Activity:
Accumulo wrapped up the previously reported development effort to develop a
new context classloader factory for use with Accumulo deployments, to
facilitate user plugins being deployed to a remote location that is accessible
to a running system. This resulted in the release of
accumulo-classloader-extras-1.0.0 on 2026-03-02.
The effort to improve the separate access control library was released as
accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta2 on 2026-04-01.
Ongoing works includes:
- Continuing to improve the stability of 2.1 and preparing for another 2.1
release (the last one was 2.1.4 on 2025-08-20).
- Continuing work towards supporting more dynamic scaling in a future 4.0
version.
- Adding support for multiple manager processes for a future 4.0 version.
- Improve test code and quality control for both active development branches
(2.1 and 4.0/main)
### Recent releases:
- accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta2 was released on 2026-04-01.
- accumulo-classloader-extras-1.0.0 was released on 2026-03-02.
- accumulo-2.1.4 was released on 2025-08-20.
## Community Health:
Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. The
low email traffic on the dev list reflects the community preference of using
GitHub projects and issues for planning and PRs for code discussions, but this
activity is also reflected in the notifications list, for anybody who prefers
not to engage on GitHub (this is rare for our community).

GitHub Actions, and refactored the internal queue system for better
reliability.
- Post-release stabilization and next-cycle planning. Fixed avatar column
overflow (VARCHAR → TEXT migration), dark mode rendering issues, and
installation form validation bugs. Development of next-gen AI features is
underway, including semantic search with embedding support and AI prompt
configuration.
## Community Health:
- 6 new external contributors submitted pull requests this quarter, with
MakiWinster72 standing out as the most active new contributor (5 PRs
spanning DeepSeek integration, dark mode fixes, and AI prompt
configuration).
- 14 unique reporters filed ~22 issues, including feature requests (webhooks,

Attachment F: Report from the Apache Aries Project [Christian Schneider]
## Description:
Apache Aries software is a set of pluggable Java components enabling
an enterprise OSGi application programming model.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Largely maintenance mode with some developments
ongoing. *We are planning the releases of the artifacts. Additionally, we
decided upon dropping support for Java 8 in next releases with 11 as the
minimal version, eventually making Java 17 the minimal supported Java
version.*
Issues for the board: None at this time.

Apache Aries was founded 2010-12-15 (*16* years ago)
*There are currently 56 committers and 38 PMC members in this project.*
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is *~7:5.*
Community changes, past quarter:
*- David Jencks and Carlos Sierra Andrés resigned from the PMC*
## Project Activity:
Mainly dependency upgrades and support for new Java versions.
## Community Health:
Slightly decreased activity. Development driven by a low number of
active committers.
Kudos to Dominik for doing the report this time.
-----------------------------------------
Attachment G: Report from the Apache Arrow Project [Antoine Pitrou]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Arrow is the creation and maintenance of software
related to columnar in-memory processing and data interchange. More
information can be found at https://arrow.apache.org/overview/
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing (high activity)
Issues for the board:
* (from the PMC chair) Not really an “issue”, but it would be nice if
the initial reminder for board reports came a bit earlier - say,
3 weeks before the deadline.
Side note:
* (from the PMC chair) The ASF Board Report Wizard told me
"Your project is not expected to report this month", so I used the
Board Agenda Tool instead. Hopefully everything worked fine.
## Membership Data:
Apache Arrow was founded 2016-01-19... or 2016-01-20, according
to the latest stats (which one is it? 🙃).
There are currently 117 committers and 61 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
* No new PMC members. Last addition was Rossi Sun on 2025-10-06.
* Ryan Johnson was added as committer on 2026-01-30.
Here are short updates on topics that we inquired about last time.
* Potential “emeritus” status for long-time inactive maintainers:
a preliminary investigation using a conservative estimate suggests
there are 30 "inactive" non-PMC committers out of 56, and
24 "inactive" PMC members out of 61. In total this is roughly
half of the official set of project maintainers. We have started
discussing possible avenues but haven’t come to a consensus.
* Measuring and increasing diversity: unfortunately we haven’t started
on this (yet?).
## Project Activity:
The project has an [active blog](https://arrow.apache.org/blog/) where you can
find more information on recent releases.
### Community Initiatives
We are planning a joint Arrow / Parquet meetup in Paris, kindly hosted by
Datadog.
Notable blog posts:
* [Apache Arrow is 10 years old 🎉]
(https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2026/02/12/arrow-anniversary/)
* [Community Highlights 2025]
(https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2026/03/19/arrow-2025-highlights/)
### Community Organization
The Arrow project is increasingly organized as different communities focused
on the different Arrow language implementations (e.g C++ and bindings like
Python, Rust, Go, etc). These communities collaborate on the overall Arrow
specification and interoperability issues. This structure seems to be working
well as the project grows and matures.
### Security Model
Gently prodded by the Apache Security Team, we have authored a
[security model](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/Security.html)
covering the Arrow specifications. Individual Arrow implementations are
expected to produce similar documents for concrete API usage; Arrow C++ has
[published one](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/cpp/security.html).
### AI-Generated Contributions
We have devised a [policy around AI-generated code contributions]
(https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/developers/overview.html#ai-generated-code).
The most obvious use of AI seems to come from novice contributors who
sometimes regurgitate AI output in their code changes, pull request
descriptions and/or comments.
A more annoying category of AI-generated contributions has come under the form
of ill-informed or low quality security reports. What makes it annoying is
that the expectations around security reports are stronger than around regular
contributions: they have to be handled swiftly, and rejections have to be duly
motivated. We had a peak of such reports around December-January, things have
settled since then.
Sporadically, we also get mailing-list messages, obviously AI-generated, that
pretend to offer an informed opinion on a topic under discussion but with
little to no added value.
### Recent Releases:
* JAVA-19.0.0 was released on 2026-03-16.
* GO-18.5.2 was released on 2026-03-04.
* RS-58.0.0 was released on 2026-02-23.
* 23.0.1 was released on 2026-02-16.
* NANOARROW-0.8.0 was released on 2026-02-09.
* RS-57.3.0 was released on 2026-02-06.
* GO-18.5.1 was released on 2026-01-26.
* RS-OS-0.12.5 was released on 2026-01-19.
* RS-OS-0.13.1 was released on 2026-01-19.
* 23.0.0 was released on 2026-01-18.
* JULIA-2.8.1 was released on 2026-01-14.
* RS-57.2.0 was released on 2026-01-11.
* ADBC-22 was released on 2026-01-09.
#### arrow-rs
The Rust implementation continues a monthly release cadence. Development work
has focused recently on improving performance, filling out ListView and REE
support in the compute kernels, and a new avro implementation.
## Community Health:
Based on mailing-list volume, project activity remains steady.
Quarter-to-quarter variations can probably be attributed to random oscillation
rather than any structural change. Of note, several projects such as Arrow C++
and Arrow Rust have GitHub discussions enabled to help with user questions
(those are echoed on user@arrow.apache.org, so are still accounted for in the
mailing-list stats).

Attachment H: Report from the Apache AsterixDB Project [Ian Maxon]
## Description:
The mission of AsterixDB is the creation and maintenance of software related to
open source Big Data Management System
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache AsterixDB was founded 2016-04-19 (10 years ago)
There are currently 44 committers and 30 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 Peeyush Gupta on 2025-12-02.
- Suryaa Charan was added as a committer on 2026-04-06
## Project Activity:
The next full release is still pending a few changes, which are in flight. The
packaging changes have been tested some more, and the ones in progress at this
point are related to updating UI dependencies and adding authentication. A
release of the JDBC driver was made earlier in the year, but it was a very
small release only containing one or two commits to enable some additional
authentication options.
APEs:
- APE 31 (Vector Indexing) is underway and the first related patches are under
review
- APE 32 (LSM Sampling) was proposed and is being reviewed and discussed
- APE 33 (CLUSTER BY clause) is drafted and being discussed
## Community Health
The dev@ list traffic is up a lot because we decided to put forward a few
ideas for GSoC this year. We've gotten a few patches already so far that look
like they could be nice first contributions. There also looked to be at least
a few strong proposals. There was also a vote earlier in the year about how to
handle the output of LLMs in commits, following a good discussion about it. It
seemed like the time had come, to make sure we are properly handling the
output of such tools from a licensing and maintenance standpoint. Suryaa was
added as a committer just in time for the report. He has been a great
contributor for a few years now, having some particular expertise in the
geospatial features in the system that are difficult to come across. He is
also the author of a few accepted APEs (7 & 17).

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Niall Pemberton on 2025-04-04.
- No new committers. Last addition was Niall Pemberton on 2025-04-04.
## Project Activity:
Attic worked on retiring 2 projects:
- Olingo, continuing from previous quarter,
- ServiceMix Still work in progress. Progress tracked at
https://attic.apache.org/tracking.html
On retiring project social media updates, we are trying to avoid recovering
access after project termination, but help M&P coordinate with the PMC before
termination.
## Community Health:
3 active members continue to drive operations, with new small improvements
found on process and tools. Having more people involved in actual retirement
would be useful to spread the load and check our documentation is complete.

Attachment J: Report from the Apache Avro Project [Ryan Skraba]
-----------------------------------------
Attachment K: Report from the Apache Beam Project [Kenneth Knowles]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Beam is the creation and maintenance of software related
to a unified programming model for both batch and streaming data processing,
enabling efficient execution across diverse distributed execution engines and
providing extensibility points for connecting to different technologies and

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Danny McCormick on 2024-12-12.
- Radosław Stankiewicz was added as committer on 2026-03-20
## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
- 2.72.0 was released on 2026-03-30.
There has been a flurry of CVE resolution by dependency upgrades. Good thing
to focus on what with AI advancements in producing exploits.
- ActiveMQ from 5.14.5 to 5.19.2
- PostgreSQL JDBC Driver from 42.2.16 to 42.6.2
- Minimum Go version from 1.25.2 to 1.26.1
- Added support for Python version 3.14
Quite a few threads expressing interest or discussing designs for Google
Summer of Code 2026 [gsoc]. Perhaps worth highlighting a few of what those
projects might be:
- Native python streaming transforms (currently the Python SDK utilizes these
from Java) including...
- Ordering support for Python (a topic that is generally coming up quite
often)
- Using accelerators for learning
- IO resource lifecycle hardening
- Beam infrastructure improvements
[gsoc] https://lists.apache.org/list?header_subject=GSOC
## Community Health:
Nothing novel to report. Steady community health. The increase in traffic on
dev@ is due to GSoC, and the overall numbers are steadily low (in a good way)
so any activity can look like a large % change..

this will be next.
- LDAP API: med activity. Replacement of antlr parsers, a considerable change
(> 10K LOC). Release in the works.
- Studio: low activity. There are plans being made for a long overdue
release.
- Fortress: low activity. Release this summer.
- Kerby: low activity. Needs a release.
- Mavibot: low activity.
- SCIMple: low activity. Needs a first release.
## Community Health:
Activity is picking up slightly. One of the maintainers has been working on
the API which has been a blocker for ApacheDS and Studio. Issues are being
addressed. Merge requests are being handled and the maintainers remain active
and responsive.

Attachment Z: Report from the Apache Dubbo Project [Jun Liu]
## Description:
Apache Dubbo is an easy-to-use RPC framework that provides different language
implementations, service discovery, traffic management, observability,
security, tools, and best practices for building enterprise-ready
microservices.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Dubbo was founded 2019-05-15 (7 years ago) There are currently 118
committers and 32 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 4:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Yu Yu on 2025-12-29.
- No new committers. Last addition was Xuetao Li on 2025-11-01.
## Project Activity:
Over the past period, the framework itself hasn't released many versions.
Regarding how to advance the project's iterative development, recently, during
the project's non-regular weekly meetings (held on video conferencing
software), some PMC memberss and active developers discussed the future
development direction, mainly focusing on three areas:
1. Improving the ability to troubleshoot and locate online Dubbo issues,
primarily including enhancing critical execution path logs, completing
missing documentation, and providing lightweight RPC packages.
2. Continuing to comprehensively advance Service Mesh and Kubernetes system
adaptation.
3. Provide AI-native Dubbo R&D and operation facilities(Dubbo With AI),
including Docs as MCP, Dubbo CLI, and Dubbo Skills, etc.
Currently, some active PMC members are already trying to formulate more
detailed plans based on their own thinking. Once someone has relatively mature
ideas, they will initiate formal internal emails and GitHub issues for
discussion to determine the next development iteration direction.
## Community Health:
Overall, the project's activity level is at a low point recently. This is
partly because after the development of the 3.3 major version, the project has
entered a relatively stable iteration cycle. On the other hand, some core
maintainers have focused more on exploring AI, resulting in a decrease in the
activity of developers actively participating in the project.

Release 1.12 is planned for upcoming month TBD
1.11.0 was released on 2025-03-09.
1.10.1 was released on 2024-12-31.
## Community Health:
We're struggling to keep up with the flood of PRs and commentary, over 100
patches in the last month. Some of it is well thought through but much is the
result of not looking first before jumping into the project. We are repeatedly
asking people to read the FAQ and instructions before chiming in with advice
or questions.
About a 150% increase in traffic to the list and issues increased by nearly
400%. The flood of interest may be entirely related to AI generated or to
GSOC program.
GSOC: Currently trying to review 56 Fineract Proposals for GSOC - the most of
any ASF project. We have only five mentors.
Discussion is moving to Matrix on a trial basis, with two channels (gsoc has
46 and general has 28), which replaces the use of Mifos
#fineract slack channel. Matrix is an open source alternative to Slack.
Community over code - PMC member Adam Saghy is organizing the track for
Glasgow. We appreciate the patience in helping him learn the ropes.
Fineract Significant Improvement Proposals (FSIPs)
FSIP process activity has increased this quarter, with high participation from PMC
and community: Large FSIP-9 (standardize on PostgreSQL) passed unanimously,
signaling strong commitment to a more performant, sustainable, and secure
product FSIP-7 (traditional merge strategy) passed unanimously, all commits
are now signed.
Website improvements include now automated periodic checks of our project.

analytics, usage analytics, usability and user testing
## Project Status:
Current project status: Dormant Issues for the board: While there is interest
in the products, clearly there are issues in interest in the project. Regular
commits have not picked up as expected. Will run roll call and press for
project viability.
## Membership Data:
Apache Flagon was founded 2023-03-21 (3 years ago)

## Project Activity:
No project activity this quarter and very little in the last 2 quarters. Far
less than expected. PMC members do correspond and there is interest in
relevant projects and ongoing developments with the products. However, there
is uncertainty when or if they will be committed back to ASF.
## Community Health:
Longstanding community elements regularly correspond, but not through lists;
there is a community but admittedly it is unclear whether it still wants to be
an Apache Software Foundation community. Noting the boards' comments, please
give us a quarter to have some frank conversations on and off lists and assess
the viability of the community long term. We will provide a plan and a
determination as to whether we should move to he Attic (or a good reason why
note).

## Project Activity:
The project is focused on resolving GUACAMOLE-2118 - a regression from 1.6.0
that we feel should be resolved before cutting 1.6.1. Tangential issues that
may be part of what reporting users were experiencing have been resolved, but
there are still members of the community that are encountering issues fitting
the bug report's original description.
The project has seen an irksome and time-consuming increase in invalid
security reports that appear to be generated by AI.
## Community Health:
The community continues to be active and healthy. Members of the community
have been helpful in testing GUACAMOLE-2118 and providing a means of testing
in environments where the issue can be replicated. A new committer, Stephen
Schiffli, has also been brought on board.

## Community Health:
- Full Support for JDK 17 and JDK 21
To support the release of the JDK 17 version, the project completed the
following key tasks:
* To address test failures and instability exposed during JDK 17 adaptation,
unit test issues in key modules including MapReduce [1], YARN [2], and HDFS
[3] were fixed, improving test pass rates and release reliability in the new
environment.
* Related Dockerfiles were upgraded and cleaned up, including the removal of
obsolete OS platform Dockerfiles [4], which improved the consistency and
maintainability of the build environment.
* The tracked proto2 source code was regenerated [5] to ensure that the
generated code remains consistent with the current toolchain and the JDK 17
environment, thereby reducing build and runtime risks.
* PureJavaCrc32/Crc32C was changed to delegate to the JDK’s native
CRC32/CRC32C implementation [6], improving compatibility with JDK 17 while
reducing the maintenance cost of the underlying implementation.
* The IllegalAccessError issue encountered by JDiff under Java 17 was resolved
[7], restoring API change comparison capabilities and providing support for
release validation and compatibility checking.
- New CapacityScheduler Web UI Support
We enhanced the visualization capabilities of the YARN Capacity Scheduler by
introducing a new CapacityScheduler Web UI. This UI provides a hierarchical
view of queue structures, resource quotas, and runtime status, while also
enabling visualized inspection and management of scheduling configurations.
Integrated into the ResourceManager, the feature has been continuously refined
through multiple PRs, significantly improving the observability and usability
of scheduler configuration and operations (Related Issue: YARN-11953[8],
YARN-11943[9], YARN-11929[10]).

We migarted our pre-commit checks to github actions. To avoid hitting the 6
hours hard timeout limit, we split the test suites to several parts and made
they run parallel. This reduces the run time of our pre commit check and we
hope that this does not add too much pressure on our ci resources.

Attachment AM: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Justin Mclean]
# Incubator PMC report for April 2026
The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and
codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
As of March, there are 28 podlings under incubation and three releases were
made. There were no additions or removals to IPMC membership.
Mailing list traffic during the month focused on release voting, graduation
discussions, retirement votes, discussion of a possible xdigest proposal,
and the Community Over Code Glasgow Incubator track CFP.
Baremaps and HoraeDB have retired as part of normal Incubator lifecycle
management.
A discussion on the mailing list raised concerns about Caldera's current
status, including low participation and limited ASF engagement.
Several podlings, including Burr, Fluss, and Geaflow, are undergoing their
scheduled 6-month reviews.
Livy has started discussions on graduation on its mailing list.
ResilientDB continues to make progress toward graduation, although delays
in release voting suggest the podling may need to seek additional mentor
engagement.
Pegasus continues to work on community revitalisation.
Fluss is ready to graduate.
Most other podlings continue to make steady progress toward graduation.
Two podlings, Caldera and Pony Mail failed to submit a report and will be
asked to report next month. When this was written, Pegasus was missing
mentor signoff.

Comments: The podling did a good job in the release, but waiting for a
third binding vote on general@. That's not good regarding the effort of the
podling and very active/responsive podling. We sent reminder on the mailing
list, but it didn't help yet. I'm a bit concerned by the number of active
IPMC members recently.
### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Justin Mclean: Project contacted about adding/replacing mentors and about
what is stopping them from graduating.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 3:2.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Arne Bernhardt on 2024-04-05.
- Øyvind Gjesdal was added as committer on 2026-01-26
## Project Activity:
The project is pleased to have Øyvind Gjesdal as a committer on the project.
The project released Apache Jena on 2026-02-04. It changed the Java versions
supported to Java 21 and 25 (the project aims for the last two LTS), dropping
Java 17.
The release has gone smoothly, based on questions and issues raised. The
project has always seen a "long tail" effect - jumping over versions with
deprecations announcements for features being removed. Two subsystems that
have seen minimal use have been retired. The central URI/IRI parser has been
replaced; the previous version had become costly to bring up-to-date with
current RFCs.
The community is represented in development of RDF 1.2 and SPARQL 1.2 in the
W3C working group, including developing the test suite for the standards' new
features.
## Community Health:
The drop in PR traffic is to be expected. There was more activity in the
months up to the 6.0.0 release so this is a return to normal.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Alex O'Ree was added to the PMC on 2025-11-06
- Alex O'Ree was added as committer on 2025-11-07
## Project Activity:
Most notable activity this quarter revolved around a vulnerability report
which has warranted preparing a release under the 2.x version. As a side
effect of this, the security findings noted on the previous report have
been backported as well to the master-2.x branch.
We've held votes for releasing 2.12.4 and 3.0.0, but some other issues
have surfaced and we'll need to fix them and prepare new release votes.
## Community Health:
Work on latest master shows commits from one committer.
No questions unanswered on MLs, although they continue to have very little
traffic, aside from JIRA/GitHub generated mails.
Also note special order 7B; I asked at private@j.a.o for a volunteer to
act as a new JSPWiki PMC chair as I've done a few times before, and Alex
O'Ree has stepped up. Don't have plans on becoming inactive, but I've been
chair for a lot of time, and thought it would be good (tm) for JSPWiki to
rotate the chair position. Vote was held at
https://lists.apache.org/thread/o1k9jd52vwn020r70trs18wty8mt2cxq and
hopefully will be approved on April's meeting.

## Project Activity:
Apache NiFi released version 2.8.0 on 2026-02-13. This release included
additional framework metrics features along with various improvements, bug
fixes, and regular dependency upgrades.
The 2.8.0 release included official deprecation of the NiFi Registry project
for removal. The deprecation announcement followed a community vote in early
February 2026, and the announcement is posted on the project website. The
project has implemented an alternative version control extension strategy
integrating with services including GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, along with
the option to build additional extensions. NiFi Registry is planned for
removal in a future major release, the timeline for which is to be determined.
In addition to the Apache NiFi 2.8.0 release, the project also released
versions 2.6.0, 2.7.0, and 2.8.0 of the public Apache NiFi API between January
and April 2026. The 2.7.0 version of the NiFi API added interfaces for the new
Connectors feature, providing the foundation for new end-to-end extension
capabilities. The forthcoming release of Apache NiFi 2.9.0 will include
initial framework implementation support for Connectors.
The project published CVE-2026-25903 on 2026-02-16 in response to project
maintainer review finding missing authorization enforcement of component
restrictions for configuration updates. Apache NiFi 2.8.0 resolved this
vulnerability. Subsequent review of the overall component authorization
strategy continues in an effort to streamline the project security model.
## Community Health:
Community health remains strong. The project recently passed 6,000 stars on
the primary Apache NiFi GitHub repository. In addition to significant activity
around the new Connectors feature, regular maintenance, bug fixes, and new
features continue to be submitted, reviewed, and merged from both project
maintainers and some new contributors.
The project has passed 4,000 members on the community Slack workspace, and is
nearing 3,700 followers on LinkedIn. Both of these numbers reflect incremental
increases over the previous quarter.

implementations, one of which (Parquet Java) is developed directly under the
umbrella of the Apache Parquet project. Several implementations such as
Parquet C++, Parquet Go, and Parquet Rust are developed as part of the Apache
Arrow project. Non-Apache implementations also exist, some of them closed
source.

Apache STeVe v3 was used for the recent Annual Members Meeting with
the assistance of Apache Infrastructure to get it stood up for the
Membership to use during their Meeting. That went off well, and the
results were a large improvement over prior elections. Simplified data
results, better user interface for the Members, and simplified
process. There were no problems reported about lost ballots or such,
that have dogged us in the past. The tool was welcomed.
There is an open INFRA ticket about enhancing the STeVe installation
to the point where the Infrastructure team would be willing to support
the tool for the community at large.
## Community Health:
Several developers are working on, and testing, the codebase. The
lead-up to the Members Meeting was busy, and there is a notable
decompression, but activity should resume with specific attention to
the needs of the Infrastructure Team.

## Project Activity:
The Gradle build setup revamp has been completed, creating a robust and
maintainable foundation for the years ahead. Building on this, we have
migrated CI from manually managed jobs to multi-branch pipelines. We are still
experimenting with the pipelines to find the best fit for our project's
workflow.
However, the new build structure and improved testing revealed certain brittle
aspects of the overall build that need to be addressed before the next
release, 5.10. The prior version, 5.9, was released on 2025-02-11.
The Apache Security team has been in contact regarding three reported
potential vulnerabilities: One has been confirmed and is already fixed (voting
for 5.9.1 is currently in progress), one is undergoing further verification,
and the third was a false alarm. Resolving these issues, including backports,
takes priority over cutting the next release.
After participating in the INFRA roundtable on the Jira/Confluence migration,
we decided to revisit our plan to move issue tracking to GitHub. The upcoming
migration may address some of the friction that new contributors might
encounter, so we are taking the time to evaluate the best path forward rather
than acting prematurely, especially given the direction GitHub is taking
lately, and migrating back in the future isn’t a sensible option either.
The project website migration from Confluence SiteExporter to Antora is still
in progress. We plan to release it with or before the 5.10 release.

Mailing list activity remains low as expected due to no new release and

release of TinkerPop 3.7.6, 3.8.1, and 4.0.0-beta.2 on April 1, 2026 [1]
[2] [3]. This is the first release since the 3.7.5/3.8.0 releases in November
2025.
TinkerPop 3.7.6 and 3.8.1 are maintenance releases containing bug fixes and
non-breaking improvements across the 3.7.x and 3.8.x lines respectively.
TinkerPop 4.0.0-beta.2 completes the migration of all language drivers (.NET,
Go, and JavaScript now join Java and Python) to the new HTTP-based
communication model, standardized query format in canonical Gremlin, adds
built-in authentication support through request interceptors, re-enables
transaction support in Java, and delivers a rewritten JavaScript driver with
TypeScript support.
The community continues active development on both maintenance updates for the
3.7.x/3.8.x line, as well as architectural and security improvements for the
4.0.0 major release.
### Releases:
3.7.6 was released on 2026-04-01.
3.8.1 was released on 2026-04-01.
4.0.0-beta.2 was released on 2026-04-01.
## Community Health:
The TinkerPop community maintains strong engagement with consistent
contributions from core committers and active participation from users on the
dev list and in our Discord server.
A notable highlight this quarter is the publication of the second edition of
Practical Gremlin [5], authored by Kelvin Lawrence and Stephen Mallette. This
comprehensive guide to the Gremlin query language has been updated to cover
TinkerPop 3.8.0 features and serves as a key resource for Gremlin users of all
levels.
The community continues to hold regular TinkerPop Gathering meetings [4], open
to anyone who wishes to join, to enhance collaboration and provide real-time
discussion opportunities. Meeting notes are recorded on the dev list, with
recent chat exploring how schema definitions could be integrated into the
TinkerPop framework to improve data modeling, validation, and interoperability
across providers.
This quarter featured one live event on Twitch [6]: a TinkerPop Wide session
exploring Graph Explorer. The stream highlighted Graph Explorer's latest
release [7], introducing a new Schema Explorer that visualizes vertex types,
edge types, and their connections for TinkerGraph, as well as other property
and RDF graphs. The recording is available on our YouTube channel [8]:

Attachment CE: Report from the Apache Training Project [Justin Mclean]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Training is the creation and maintenance of software
related to training materials for Apache projects and the Apache Software
Foundation
## Project Status:
Current project status: Dormant
Issues for the board: None
## Membership Data:
Apache Training was founded 2025-08-20 (8 months ago)
There are currently 18 committers and 5 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Andrew Wetmore on 2025-08-20.
- No new committers were added.
## Project Activity:
Since the last report, there has been little visible activity. There has been
no email traffic on the dev@ mailing list during this reporting period. The
project does not follow a formal release cycle, as it develops and updates
training materials as needed.
With Community Over Code approaching, the presentation templates will likely
be reviewed and updated as needed.
The project did have a discussion with the NuttX project on using the
training badge system.
## Community Health:
The community remains small but quiet. There has been no mailing list traffic
during this reporting period and little visible public activity. However, this
is a project that tends to work on materials as needed.

Attachment CF: Report from the Apache Wayang Project [Zoi Kaoudi]
## Description:
The mission of Apache Wayang is the creation and maintenance of software
related to cross-engine data processing that aims at (i) decoupling
applications from underlying data processing engines, such as Apache Flink,
Apache Spark, databases, or ML systems, and (ii) automatically determining the
optimal combination of engines to execute a given data pipeline using an
optimizer
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing (with moderate activity).
Issues for the board: Nothing.
## Membership Data:
Apache Wayang was founded 2025-11-19
There are currently 18 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members (project graduated recently).
- No new committers were added.
- A lot of new contributors (we have listed projects with Google Summer of Code)
## Project Activity:
Since the last report, Apache Wayang has listed four projects under Google
Summer of Code (GSOC), which has led to an increase in interest and new
contributors. We are currently in the process of evaluating four GSOC project
proposals.
In addition to GSOC activities, we have also managed a release (1.1.1),
focused on new features and security fixes.
For the next release we are aiming to integrate the various new contributions
from GSOC.
## Community Health:
Community activity has increased over the past month, driven primarily by
GSOC. Traffic on the dev list has increased accordingly and discussions have
been constructive. Participation has been consistent, and we continue to
respond to PRs and technical questions.
Overall, Google Summer of Code has generated a new wave of interest in Apache
Wayang, and we are working on converting this momentum into long‑term
community engagement.

Attachment CH: Report from the Apache Zeppelin Project [Jongyoul Lee]
## Description:
The mission of Zeppelin is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a web-based notebook that enables interactive data
analytics
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with moderate activity
Issues for the board: There are some outstanding security issues
that the PMC is currently investigating and working to address.
## Membership Data:
Apache Zeppelin was founded 2016-05-18 (10 years ago)
There are currently 27 committers and 13 PMC members in this
project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4.

## Project Activity:
No releases were made this quarter. The most recent release remains
0.12.0.
The community focused on UI modernization, test infrastructure, and
developer tooling.
On the UI side, the published paragraph rendering component was
migrated from Angular to React as part of the ongoing micro-frontend
transition. A bug causing dropdown menu items to be only partially
clickable in the new UI was also fixed.
On the testing and CI side, the Playwright E2E test suite was
significantly cleaned up - anti-patterns were removed, always-passing
assertions were corrected, and swallowed errors in page object
methods were addressed. A Selenium integration test race condition
was also identified and fixed, improving CI reliability.
The merge PR script was rewritten in Python with no external
dependencies, and several dependency security vulnerabilities were
addressed through updates.
The community has also started exploring AI-assisted development
workflows as a means to modernize legacy code more efficiently.
## Community Health:
The community has been accepted into the 2026 OSSCA (Open Source
Software Contribution Academy), a Korean government-sponsored
open-source contribution program. New contributors are expected to
join starting in July 2026, which should help grow the committer
base further over the coming months.
