# Incubator PMC report for June 2026
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 currently 28 podlings under incubation. In May, the Incubator made
five releases, and some release votes are currently underway. There were
one addition and no removals to IPMC membership.
Mailing list discussion focused primarily on release voting activity and two
graduation discussions: an active discussion on graduating Apache Fluss, and
the graduation discussion and vote for Apache Livy, which passed.
There was also substantial mentor and release-policy discussion during the
month, covering a potential issue with GitHub releases, use of Docker Hub
images, PyPI packages, and whether a dependencies file is required for
non-bundled dependencies in source releases, and Incubator graduation
requirements.
There was also continued discussion of MCP-based tooling for
Incubator insights and ASF policy questions and a new Trademark MCP has been
created. There was a discussion on using these tools to generate podling
reports.
Baremaps was retired by IPMC vote in March 2026. Some post-retirement
cleanup is still outstanding.
OpenServerless has been incubating for about two years and has not yet made
an ASF release. The podling has responded to the IPMC's concerns. It reports
continuous development across its subrepositories, has started adding
committers who contributed useful work, and has begun moving toward a
release. Separately, much of the podling's discussion has taken place on
Discord rather than on the public dev list, and the podling has been asked
to move project and technical discussion to the public list.
OzHera has not made an ASF release in over a year despite ongoing
development. The project has been asked to outline the current status of
release preparation, what is blocking the next release, and to address low
mentor engagement across recent reporting periods. They were slow to
respond, but are working on a new release.
Caldera engagement has improved since the concerns raised last cycle. The
project is now active on its dev list with healthy development activity.
Casbin discussion has begun moving onto the dev list.
PouchDB has yet to correct the redirection of the legacy pouchdb.com site.
Toree has been incubating since December 2015. The project is on a
new release candidate, but the going is slow.
The IPMC continues to monitor long-running podlings and will follow up on
any community concerns as needed.
When submitted, Otava lacked a mentor sign-off, they have been reminded to
sign off the report

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
--------------------
## Casbin
Casbin is a powerful, efficient open-source access control framework that
provides a unified, model-driven approach to authorization. Built on the
PERM (Policy, Effect, Request, Matchers) metamodel and its domain-specific
language (DSL), Casbin brings ACL, RBAC, and ABAC together under one model
so that policies can be expressed flexibly and enforced at a fine-grained
level. It offers high-performance enforcement and a broad multi-language
ecosystem spanning Go, Java, Node.js, Python, .NET, C++, and Rust.
Incubation at the Apache Software Foundation aims to make Casbin a
community-driven, standardized authorization solution.
Casbin has been incubating since 2026-02-07.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Define an ASF-aligned release process and cut Casbin's first official
Apache release.
2. Broaden the contributor base across organizations and keep moving
day-to-day discussion onto the Apache mailing lists.
3. Finalize the transfer of domains and trademarks to the ASF.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
- The Apache dev list (dev@casbin.apache.org) is now the project's primary
channel: it carried 17 messages in May (29 in March, 20 in April), covering
the incubation report cycle, dependency updates, and ASF infrastructure
changes. Traffic has been lighter than the first weeks of incubation,
reflecting a shift from setup work toward steady-state maintenance.
- GitHub stars on the main repository continued their slow, steady climb,
reaching roughly 20.15k.
- Automated dependency maintenance (Dependabot) stayed active across
several of the Node.js and core SDK repositories, keeping the ecosystem's
dependencies current.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
- Prepared and circulated the project's first Apache Incubator monthly
report for community review, establishing a regular reporting rhythm with
the mentors and IPMC.
- Worked with ASF INFRA to roll out default branch protection rulesets
across the project's repositories — a governance step that brings the repos
in line with foundation practice.
- Carried out routine maintenance across the multi-language repositories.
May was a deliberately quiet, housekeeping-focused month: 1 PR was merged
and 2 issues were closed across the project, with the remaining activity
being bot-driven dependency and infrastructure changes.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
--------------------
## Otava
Otava, a command-line tool, written in Python, that detects statistically
significant changes in time-series data stored either in databases or CSV
files.
A typical use-case of Otava is as follows:
A set of performance tests is scheduled repeatedly, such as after each
commit is pushed.
The resulting metrics of the test runs are stored in a time series database
(Graphite) or appended to CSV files.
Otava is launched by a Jenkins/Cron job (or an operator) to analyze the
recorded metrics regularly.
Otava notifies about significant changes in recorded metrics by outputting
text reports or sending Slack notifications.
Otava is capable of finding even small, but persistent shifts in metric
values, despite noise in data. It adapts automatically to the level of
noise in data and tries to notify only about persistent, statistically
significant changes, be it in the system under test or in the environment.
Otava has been incubating since 2024-11-27. Otava entered Incubation as
Hunter
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Establish frequent releases as a routine, repeatable process
2. Improve documentation to lower the entry barrier for users and
contributors.
3. Define and document the desired long-term architecture. The goals of the
long-term architecture are: a. Modularity: Keep the core library
lightweight while making external dependencies (data sources and
notification channels) pluggable. b. API stabilization: Clearly define and
stabilize public interfaces prior to a 1.0.0 release.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
- Denis Shchepakin was elected as a PPMC member (announced on dev@ in March
2026).
- 6 new external contributors opened PRs in the project.
- We started a new helper project:
https://github.com/apache/otava-playground. This project contains test data
generators and visualization that can be used to compare Otava EDivisive
against several other formulas and heuristics often used for change
detection. We are also using it to compare different variants of Otava
itself.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
- The project made the most significant release since the incubation
started - 0.8.0-incubating. In this release, Apache Otava supports Python
versions 3.10-3.14. Starting with this release, Otava aims to support all
actively supported Python versions. That was possible thanks to a core
algorithm rewrite.
- Release process documentation has been improved based on feedback from
0.8.0-incubating.
- There are active discussions between PPMCs and external contributors
about further core algorithm improvements.
- There is an ongoing refactoring work for internal data structures. This
is a prerequisite to officially supporting public Python API.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Complete the next Apache release and improve the release process.
2. Grow the contributor base and elect more committers/PPMC members.
3. Move more design, release, and community discussions to the public
dev mailing list.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
The project is preparing the next Apache release in early June. The
release has not been completed yet. The community is reviewing the
remaining release blockers and will work with mentors to complete
the release process.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
The community continued development and code review on GitHub.
Several contributors participated in recent pull requests,
including work on log stream processing, Agent interfaces,
permission checks, configuration delivery, and stability
improvements.
One new committer was elected in April 2026.
The project will continue to encourage more technical discussions,
release planning, and community decisions to happen on the public
dev mailing list.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The project continued to improve observability features and stability.
Recent development work includes:
1. Improved log stream processing, including OpenCLAW log path parsing,
null pointer checks, trace application log retrieval, and handling
of truncated log content.
2. Added and improved Agent-related interfaces, including new interfaces
that the Agent can call and better request validation for valid JSON
payloads.
3. Improved permission and configuration support, including space/store
permission checks, configuration parameter support, and a sending
frequency limit function.
4. Optimized Agent channel lookup by prioritizing IP-based lookup.
5. Improved log processing and configuration delivery logic.
6. Fixed smaller issues such as PromQL naming corrections, Redis
import path fixes, and other stability improvements.
The last release was v2.2.5-incubating on 2025-03-26. The community
is preparing the next Apache release in early June. The release has
not been completed yet.dev mailing list

## PouchDB
PouchDB is an open-source JavaScript database inspired by Apache CouchDB
that is designed to run well within the browser.
PouchDB has been incubating since 2025-04-15.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Making a release
2. Adding contributors
3. Finish infrastructure migration
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
There is no “issue” per-se, but we want to highlight that we have
made slow progress on knocking down incubation progress in favour of
advancing the project and its infrastructure a bit more before
going after next steps.
See project development section for details.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
We continue receiving non-committer contributions, albeit at
a slightly slower pace than last quarter, as that had a boost
due to STA funding. The current pace is more in line with
pre-ASF project momentum. Candidates for committership are
emerging and we’ll start those processes when appropriate.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
- Added major features in preparation for a new feature release.
- Revamped the website onto a modern website toolkit and migrating
towards ASF-policy-friendly hosting with additional major docs
feature of versioning nearly ready for shipping.
- h/t to ASF infra for helping move this forward
- Started roadmap discussions for next few releases as we have
