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.

## Description: The mission of the Apache Serf project is creating and maintaining of software related to HTTP and associated protocols. ## Project Status: The project has sufficient PMC oversight. There are no threats to the sustainability or resilience of the project, although the project is in general very much dormant due to lack of need/requirements from our users. The project has no requests for the Foundation. ## Membership Data: Apache Serf was founded 2015-08-18 (11 years ago) There are currently 17 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:8. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Graham Leggett on 2025-06-27. - No new committers. Last addition was Graham Leggett on 2025-06-28. ## Project Activity: Added support for OpenSSL 4.0. Recent releases: * 1.3.10 was released on 2023-05-31. * 1.3.9 was released on 2016-08-31. ## Community Health: Serf and Subversion have a significant overlap of committers and PMC members and Subversion is the only (known) open source project using Serf. New features in Subversion are therefore the primary driver for development in Serf. After significant activity last quarter, activity died down due to lack of time. There are still plans for making a new minor release in the near future. Our community is fully volunteer-driven and we would like to thank everyone for their support.

Development of a new error callback infrastructure, which aims to provide more detailed feedback to other software that uses Serf. This work was prompted by a need for better error reporting in Apache Subversion. Numerous other bug fixes, improvements, and general maintenance.

There are no threats to the sustainability or resilience of the project, although the project is in general very much dormant due to lack of need/requirements from our users. However, see Community Health for an update on the last quarter. The project has no requests for the Foundation. ## Membership Data: Apache Serf was founded 2015-08-18 (10 years ago). There are currently 17 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:8. Community changes, past quarter: - Graham Leggett was added as committer and to the PMC on 2025-06-28 - Timofei Zhakov was added as committer and to the PMC on 2025-06-21 (The project standard operating procedure is committer === PMC member, the two exceptions are persons retiring from the PMC but staying as committers). ## Project Activity: Recent releases: * 1.3.10 was released on 2023-05-31. * 1.3.9 was released on 2016-08-31. ## Community Health: Serf and Subversion have a significant overlap of committers and PMC members and Subversion is the only (known) open source project using Serf. New features in Subversion are therefore the primary driver for development in Serf. The last quarter saw a significant rush of activity starting by a Subversion user inquiring about the possibility to add built-in MFA authentication to Subversion. We have exciting new development on trunk related to adding user defined authentication schemes that will be helpful to implementing MFA authentication in Subversion. There is also new support for using URIs to identify certificates (previously only files were possible), this should make it easier to work with for example Windows Certificate store. To improve error reporting there is a new error callback that can relay information from the underlying SSL engine. We have also seen work on making the CMake based build system feature compatible with the primary SCons build system. It has been suggested to deprecate one build system to simplify maintenance but no decision was made. Several people chimed in to support providing a CMake build system. The next release will most probably support both build systems. Finally we've added support for asynchronous DNS lookup using either the Unbound DNS resolver or by creating a background tread to call APR's resolver. Discussion was started regarding making a new minor release. 1.4.x was branched from trunk in 2018 but never made it to release, we will probably declare 1.4.x as "never released" and the next release will be 1.5.0. Hopefully we will make a new release during the next three months.

## Description: Apache Serf creates and maintains HTTP client software for various non-browser applications. ## Project Status: Project state: Ongoing/dormant. Issues for the board: None. ## Membership Data: Apache Serf was founded 2015-08-18 (8 years ago). There are 13 committers and 13 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. No new committers or PMC members have been added since the last report. Our most recently added PMC members, Nathan Hartman and Daniel Sahlberg joined the PMC in October 2023. ## Project Activity: There has been some minor cleanup of old Jira issues and the website has been updated to follow ASF requirements. No code changes but the PMC is present enough to handle (say) security issues that may arise in a released version of Apache Serf. ## Community Health: Given the maturity of the project the low energy is expected but the low level of activity can create a problem to grow the community.
## Description: Apache Serf creates and maintains HTTP client software for various non-browser applications. ## Project Status: Project state: Ongoing/low activity. Issues for the board: Roll call in July received 7 replies (one being a resignation). Two ASF/Subversion PMC members replied being ready to help. The Board's call for a chair change was discussed[1] and resulted in the addition of two new PMC members (from the Subversion PMC) and the recommendation of Daniel Sahlberg as Chair. ## Membership Data: Apache Serf was founded 2015-08-18 (8 years ago). There are 13 committers and 13 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, since last report: - Nathan Hartman and Daniel Sahlberg added to the PMC on 2023-10-06 [2]. ## Project Activity: There was a significant burst of activity in May to add support for OpenSSL 3 before OpenSSL 1.1.1 reached end of life in September. This was followed up with the release of Serf 1.3.10 on 2023-05-31. After the release the activity decreased again but a support request in October was promptly handled, and the entire PMC is present enough to jump and handle (say) security issues that may arise in a released version of Apache Serf. ## Community Health: Given the maturity of the project the low energy is expected but the low level of activity can create a problem to grow the community. With the recommendation of a new chair (above), the PMC would like to thank Justin for his service as Chair during the last four years.

## Description: Apache Serf creates and maintains HTTP client software for various non-browser applications. ## Issues: The community is currently in stasis, with plenty of PMC observers but no current tasks to complete. This report was posted by Roy because Justin is still busy doing other things and the project has not yet selected a new chair. ## Membership Data: Apache Serf was founded 2015-08-18 (7 years ago). Last checked, there were 13 committers and 12 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:6. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Branko Čibej on 2018-09-12. - No new committers. Last addition was Evgeny Kotkov on 2017-04-13. ## Project Activity: The community has zero activity at the moment, with no current plans for making a release. There is low energy, but the entire PMC is present enough to jump and handle (say) security issues that may arise in a released version of Apache Serf. ## Community Health: Given the low energy, it is hard to quantify this. Many "old-timers" are present, but the contribution level is low. This level of activity also creates problems growing the community.

The Apache Serf project continues to operate normally, at a reduced pace. It is relatively stable and has been responding (albeit slowly) to provided patches for incorporation into its codebase. There is a desire to make a release to incorporate some recent work, but the community has not stood up to make this happen (yet). There are no outstanding security issues, but the PMC has enough eyes and willingness to handle this, should one arise. Recent roll calls easily demonstrate "presence", even though most people are currently focused on other activities.

## Description: The mission of the Apache Serf project is creating and maintaining of software related to HTTP and associated protocols. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Serf was founded 2015-08-18 (6 years ago) There are currently 13 committers and 12 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:6. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Branko Čibej on 2018-09-12. - No new committers. Last addition was Evgeny Kotkov on 2017-04-13. ## Project Activity: Activity is relatively minimal and no concrete progress towards a new release. Recent upstream OpenSSL releases will require some patches. Downstream distributions have incorporated those patches in the interim. Additionally, newer Debian-like releases deprecates "python" executable which will require minor updates to our build portfolio to support "python3" interpreters. ## Community Health: There are occasional posts to the mailing list or JIRA issues, but no substantive discussions since the last quarterly report.

Last addition was Evgeny Kotkov on 2017-04-13. ## Project Activity: All quiet this quarter with no meaningful activity on the mailing lists. (There was a slew of JIRAs that were created that were spam and deleted by contributors in a timely manner.) ## Community Health: In the prior quarter, we had discussed whether we should cut a 1.4.x release, but the timing didn't work out given downstream release cadences (Debian and FreeBSD) and the ability of those folks to integrate new versions into their respective release cycles after they entered code freezes. Those distributions incorporated patches that are in our tree, but are unreleased in a formal version. So, there wasn't a huge drive to cut a formal release. Repeating from my earlier report: while relatively quiet, I do believe that there exists enough of a community where we could cut a new Serf release with a quorum of PMC/committers. If a quorum isn't reached and a release can't be cut, we will then need to have a conversation then about the community. However, I remain optimistic.

Last addition was Evgeny Kotkov on 2017-04-13. ## Project Activity: Recent activity on the mailing list and JIRA relate to recent OpenSSL releases which break long-standing API contracts: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SERF-198 https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r5223c3a3629b2d58b8ddfcf887931cd87672e0a7c0b85cc49579990e%40%3Cdev.serf.apache.org%3E There is discussion on-list in the thread above about whether we should cut a 1.3.10 release with these OpenSSL fixes or cut a fresh 1.4.x release. ## Community Health: While relatively quiet, I do believe that there exists enough of a community where we could cut a new Serf release with a quorum of PMC/committers. If a quorum isn't reached and a release can't be cut, we will then need to have a conversation then about the community. However, I remain optimistic.

Last addition was Evgeny Kotkov on 2017-04-13. ## Project Activity: Traffic remains low. A JIRA (SERF-197) was filed around spurious Unicode characters appearing on some of our web pages. We worked with Infrastructure to try to identify the source of it, but it appears to be a gremlin introduced in the ASF CMS content workflow on some of the TLP servers (but not all). Upon advice of ASF infra team, we closed the issue as we could not reliably reproduce or resolve. Responded to an old JIRA (SERF-176) around supporting easier SSL decryption with Wireshark; no resolution or patch yet. ## Community Health: In response to the concern raised in the prior report, the dev@ mailing list remains the primary vehicle for communication. However, JIRAs and Slacks are also used as appropriate. Posts and issues are responded in a relatively timely manner.

Last addition was Evgeny Kotkov on 2017-04-13. ## Project Activity: The upstream OpenSSL change discussed in the prior report, which potentially merited a Serf 1.3.x release, was ultimately reverted. Therefore, no Serf 1.3.x release was deemed necessary. Work continues on investigating a 1.4.x release - however, no ETA at this time. ## Community Health: Nothing particular of note; community is low-traffic, but responses are received in a timely manner.
A report for Serf was approved last month and, aside from the board appointing him as chair, Justin has nothing new to report this month.

Last addition was Evgeny Kotkov on 2017-04-13. ## Project Activity: There was recent discussion on-list about an upstream change in OpenSSL that broke one of the regression tests in the 1.3.x series. This caused the Debian sid builder to flag an error. A patch was prepared for Serf, but OpenSSL reverted the change in a subsequent OpenSSL release. Therefore, there are no current plans to cut a new 1.3.x release to address the issue. (The uptake of the broken OpenSSL release is expected to be minimal as the 1.1.1e release was only out for 14 days followed by the 1.1.1f release which contained the revert of the behavior which broke the Debian builder.) Work continues on preparing a 1.4.0 release with no firm ETA at this time. ## Community Health: The Serf PMC recommends Justin Erenkrantz as Chair. The PMC would like to thank Branko for his service as chair.

Report from the Apache Serf Project [Branko Čibej] ## Description: The serf library is a high performance C-based HTTP client library built upon the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library. Serf is the default client library of Apache Subversion, Apache OpenOffice and mod_pagespeed. ## Issues: Activity on the project seems to have come to a halt in the last year. ## Activity: There has been no move towards getting Serf 1.4.0 released in the last twelve months. A release candidate for internal testing was produced, but never released. The last Serf release is now 3+ years old. The only active user of Serf seems to be Apache Subversion. Apache OpenOffice uses a version of Serf that was released before Serf became a Apache TLP. ## Health report: The last commit in the public repository was made on 11th June, being a minor fix to the build scripts. The commit previous to that was made in November 2018. The feeling amongst PMC members is that Serf is a mature product and thus a low level of activity is expected. ## PMC & Committer changes: Currently 13 PMC members and 13 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months. - Last new committer added in April 2017 (Evgeny Kotkov). - Last new PMC member added in September 2018 (Branko Čibej). ## Releases: Apache Serf 1.3.9 was released on Thu Sep 01 2016 ## Mailing list and Jira activity: The last message on the dev@ mailing list is six months old. It's a follow-up from a discussion with a user on IRC who had trouble building our sources.
Report from the Apache Serf Project [Branko Čibej] ## Description: The serf library is a high performance C-based HTTP client library built upon the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library. Serf is the default client library of Apache Subversion, Apache OpenOffice and mod_pagespeed. ## Issues: Activity on the project seems to have come to a halt in the last year. ## Activity: There has been no move towards getting Serf 1.4.0 released in the last nine months. A release candidate for internal testing was produced, but never released. The last Serf release is now 3 years old. The only active user of Serf seems to be Apache Subversion. Apache OpenOffice uses a version of Serf that was released before Serf became a Apache TLP. ## Health report: The last commit in the public repository was made on 11th June, being a minor fix to the build scripts. The commit previous to that was made in November 2018. ## PMC & Committer changes: Currently 13 PMC members and 13 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months. - Last new committer added in April 2017 (Evgeny Kotkov). - Last new PMC member added in September 2018 (Branko Čibej). ## Releases: Apache Serf 1.3.9 was released on Thu Sep 01 2016 ## Mailing list and Jira activity: The last message on the dev@ mailing list is three months old.

Serf is the default client library of Apache Subversion, Apache OpenOffice and mod_pagespeed. ## Issues: Activity on the project seems to have come to a halt in the last 6 months. Since the last report, there were a couple discussions with users (mostly on the #serf IRC channel on Freenode). Otherwise, there was no significant increase in activity on the project. ## Activity: There has been no move towards getting Serf 1.4.0 released in the last six months. A release candidate for internal testing was produced, but never released. The last Serf release is now 2.5 years old. The only active user of Serf seems to be Apache Subversion. mod_pagespeed is still listed as incubating but doesn't even have a podling web site (either that, or the link on the incubator page is wrong). Some of the PMC members chatted informally (on IRC) about pushing forward the next release (1.4.0). ## Health report: The last commit in the public repository was made on 2nd November. ## PMC & Committer changes: Currently 13 PMC members and 13 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months. - Last new committer added in April 2017 (Evgeny Kotkov). - Last new PMC member added in September 2018 (Branko Čibej). ## Releases: Apache Serf 1.3.9 was released on Thu Sep 01 2016 ## Mailing list and Jira activity: The last message on the dev@ mailing list a week old.

Serf is the default client library of Apache Subversion, Apache OpenOffice and mod_pagespeed. ## Issues: Activity on the project seems to have come to a halt since the last report. ## Activity: There has been no move towards getting Serf 1.4.0 released in the last three months. A release candidate for internal testing was produced, but never released. The last Serf release is now 2.5 years old. Since the last report, we asked the AOO developers about their use of Serf. It turns out that they're using version 1.2.x (pre-ASF) and there was some interest but no work done towards updating it. The only active user of Serf seems to be Apache Subversion. mod_pagespeed is still listed as incubating but doesn't even have a podling web site (either that, or the link on the incubator page is wrong). ## Health report: The last commit in the public repository was made on 2nd November. ## PMC & Committer changes: Currently 13 PMC members and 13 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months. - Last new committer added in April 2017 (Evgeny Kotkov). - Last new PMC member added in September 2018 (Branko Čibej). ## Releases: Apache Serf 1.3.9 was released on Thu Sep 01 2016 ## Mailing list and Jira activity: The last message on the dev@ mailing list is 3 months old (it started a new thread and got no responses).

We are trying to get both the 1.3.x stable branch and trunk back in a fully releasable state. 1.3.x: This branch was released pre-ASF and making it a full ASF release is a bit destabilizing for a release branch, and by that needs more review than any previous release. I hope that the delay on 1.4 (=trunk), will make us release a new 1.3.x within the next few weeks. Branko has some OpenSSL work in progress for better OS/X build support trunk (1.4.x): This branch had quite a bit of new development before switching to the ASF and then later on when we added full HTTP/2 support. This code needed some time for testing, which it now had. I think we need to review which parts need to be visible in the public api and which not. Generating proper doxygen docs from this branch would be nice, but I think we should do the comment fixups for that before branching. ## Mailing list and Jira activity: Normal activity.

## Description:
The serf library is a high performance C-based HTTP client library built
upon the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library. Serf is the default
client library of Apache Subversion and Apache OpenOffice.
## Activity:
We have been busy moving the project to the ASF infrastructure. The
website, mailinglists, Subversion, Jira, etc. are all migrated. With
some help of some Subversion developers we now have a few buildbots
configured to help with release testing. With all this done, we are
now trying to get serf 1.4.0 released as the first ASF release.
## Health report:
The last few weeks we had an above average average activity as
everybody was trying to get everything moved onto the ASF
infrastructure after the googlecode site was made read-only.
I hope we can continue at this pace to get 1.4.0 released soon.

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
