HugeGraph

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.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

Finished merging and unifying 4 sub-projects into the
"hugegraph-toolchain" project and enable a friendly code style check.

We have renamed package name to "org.apache" for "hugegraph-commons", and
are preparing to publish it to the maven, then modify other related joint
modules.

We support automatic selection of master node for task scheduler and
optimized the pipeline of website update, now it supports automatic
building and publishing. (improve the user experience).

This is the first report.

All HugeGraph sub-projects have more than 50 contributors, and we are
attracting more contributors to the development.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

This is the first report.

We have completed the SGA signing, now we are discussing the trademark
donation, and are going through the approval process.

The donated 5 repositories have been migrated from hugegraph org to apache
org, 7 committers have completed the github account association, they are
granted codebase write permissions, 5 of them have been initialized as PPMC
members.

We solved a series of ci workflow problems for repositories migration. The
official website is currently under construction.

The next step is to make an official announcement, and prepare for the
release version.
