Incubator PMC report for May 2023
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 27 podlings incubating. In March, podlings executed 4 distinct releases. We added 1 new IPMC member. Spot and PageSpeed have retired. Kvrocks has started the graduation discussion, SeaTunnel has resolved some branding issues on the eve of graduation. Some podlings' download pages have some problems with their checksum and signatures, but this may be a hangover from moving from the mirror system to the CDN and is being looked into. The incubator site has had some minor updates to improve it language. SDAP lacks active mentors, and only one mentor voted in the version release, but the community seems to be involved. We'll ask the project to ask for more mentors. <private>Apologies for the late report and missing reports. My $dayjob made my and my team's positions redundant, and it's been a chaotic couple of weeks.</private>

OpenDAL

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
- Grow the community(attracting more committers, contributors, and users)

Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
None
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have added support for Supabase, SFTP, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Vercel Artifacts (Vercel Remote Caching), providing more choices to our users. We have noticed that some new projects have adopted OpenDAL, and there are also new users for our bindings who have achieved great results. We have launched a new project called Oay (OpenDAL Gateway). By providing a native gateway, we empower users to access different storage through the same API. We have also participated in open-source community activities. We are excited to be part of the Open Source Promotion Plan (OSPP) 2023, a summer program that encourages students to contribute to open-source projects.
We have improved our documentation for new users and developers and set up a fast development environment to make it easier for them to use and contribute.
In the past month, we have welcomed 26 new contributors, bringing the total number to 86.
How has the project developed since the last report?
- Core: We have added support for several new services and made improvements to performance and usability.
- Cli: There have been no changes from the last report.
- Bindings: We made some improvements to the existing bindings, adding new Java and C bindings with basic functions.
- Gateway: We are still developing the MVP.
