Fory

What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.

These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.

Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

The Apache Fory is a high-performance, multi-language serialization framework
that enables efficient data exchange across systems and programming languages.
Leveraging JIT compilation and zero-copy techniques, Fory delivers
low-latency, high-throughput serialization for modern distributed
applications.

Project Status: Ongoing with high activity.
Board-Level Issues: There are no issues requiring Board action at this time.

Over the past quarter, the Apache Fory project has made significant progress
in core development, documentation, and community growth. Key efforts have
focused on advancing compiler/python/go/java/csharp/javascript/swift implementations, and enhancing user experience through better documentation.
The community remains active and engaged, with steady contributions from both
long-standing and new contributors.

Recent Releases: The project has maintained a strong release cadence over the
past quarter:

- v0.16.1 May 17, 2026
- v0.15.0 Feb 10, 2026

These releases include performance improvements, bug fixes, expanded language
support, and enhanced developer tooling.
We released official support for Fory Compiler, CSharp, Swift in last quarter.

Project Activity: Development activity remains robust, with ongoing work
across multiple fronts:

Continuous improvement of documentation for users and contributors;
Active development on Fory implementations in compiler, csharp, and swift
Current Plans: The project’s roadmap for the coming months includes:

- Cleanup API, docs and Release 1.0
- Add GRPC support
- Attracting new contributors via outreach and improved contribution guides
Further enhancing user and contributor documentation to lower entry barriers

We are also exploring opportunities for collaboration with other Apache
projects to demonstrate cross-project interoperability.

New Committers and PMC Members:

Committer: Yuyang Liu was added on Oct 04, 2025
PMC Member: Pan Li was added on June 4, 2025
These additions reflect the project’s healthy growth and commitment to
empowering active contributors.

Branding and Legal Considerations: There are no known branding or legal issues
at this time. The project continues to use its name and marks in accordance
with Apache policies. All official project materials reflect proper branding
and attribution.

Infrastructure and Strategic Needs: No critical infrastructure issues have
been encountered. The project is satisfied with current tooling and services
provided by the Apache Infrastructure team.

### 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?

1. We started the community vote of the first release.
2. We received 7 new issues and closed 6 issues.
3. Community development wasn't grown too much in last month. The main
reason is probably due to core committers were engaged in the first release
and the standardization of fury serialization protocol. But there were some
new developers continuing contributing to fury in recent months.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Created 28 PR in last month
2. Standardized the fury cross-language serialization protocol, which
will make the project develop
