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 Apache Wayang is the creation and maintenance of software related to cross-engine data processing that aims at (i) decoupling applications from underlying data processing engines, such as Apache Flink, Apache Spark, databases, or ML systems, and (ii) automatically determining the optimal combination of engines to execute a given data pipeline using an optimizer ## Project Status: Current project status:Apache Wayang graduated from the Apache Incubator and became a Top-Level Project (TLP) on 2025-11-19. The graduation was preceded by the 1.0.0 (early 2025) and 1.1.0 (mid-2025) releases, the latter of which was explicitly aimed at meeting graduation requirements. The project is now operating under its own PMC. The last release (a minor/point release) shipped in February 2026. Since then the community has merged a substantial number of PRs, and in late May the PMC began discussing a major 1.2.0 release to ship a new spatial data processing plugin along with other accumulated work Notable in-progress/landed work this quarter includes a new JDBC driver (WAYANG-55, PR #719) enabling standard SQL-tooling access to Wayang, and continued work toward a datalake-friendlier platform support — both originating as Google Summer of Code project ideas. Issues for the board: None at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Wayang was founded 2025-11-19 (8 months ago) There are currently 18 committers and 9 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. - No new committers were added. ## Project Activity: Development activity remained steady this quarter, with enough PRs merged since the February release that the community is now planning a major 1.2.0 release. Highlights: - A new JDBC driver for Wayang (WAYANG-55 / PR #719), begun as a GSoC-inspired contribution and continued independently by the contributor afterward. - Continued design discussion and early implementation work on a DataFrame API (proposed as a new wayang-dataframe module) and on making Wayang more datalake-friendly, both active topics on the dev list. - Apache Wayang is participating in Google Summer of Code 2026 as a mentoring project under the ASF umbrella, with project ideas published for a DataFrame API, a datalake backend, and additional execution-engine backends. - New PRs (#772,#773, and #774) for adding BigQuery, Presto, and Trino and new computation engines. - Talk and hackathon is being prepared for the CoC at Glasgow in October. ## Community Health: The mailing list saw healthy prospective-contributor traffic this quarter, driven largely by GSoC 2026 interest: at least five prospective contributors (from India, the US, and elsewhere) introduced themselves on dev@ between February and March 2026, several proposing concrete project ideas (DataFrame API, datalake support) and at least one already landing a merged PR (#710, for issue #649) before formally applying to GSoC. This is a healthy pipeline of potential new committers, though it hasn't yet converted into new committers or PMC members this quarter. We hope this changes after the GSoC is finalized.
## Description: The mission of Apache Wayang is the creation and maintenance of software related to cross-engine data processing that aims at (i) decoupling applications from underlying data processing engines, such as Apache Flink, Apache Spark, databases, or ML systems, and (ii) automatically determining the optimal combination of engines to execute a given data pipeline using an optimizer ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing (with moderate activity). Issues for the board: Nothing. ## Membership Data: Apache Wayang was founded 2025-11-19 There are currently 18 committers and 9 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members (project graduated recently). - No new committers were added. - A lot of new contributors (we have listed projects with Google Summer of Code) ## Project Activity: Since the last report, Apache Wayang has listed four projects under Google Summer of Code (GSOC), which has led to an increase in interest and new contributors. We are currently in the process of evaluating four GSOC project proposals. In addition to GSOC activities, we have also managed a release (1.1.1), focused on new features and security fixes. For the next release we are aiming to integrate the various new contributions from GSOC. ## Community Health: Community activity has increased over the past month, driven primarily by GSOC. Traffic on the dev list has increased accordingly and discussions have been constructive. Participation has been consistent, and we continue to respond to PRs and technical questions. Overall, Google Summer of Code has generated a new wave of interest in Apache Wayang, and we are working on converting this momentum into long‑term community engagement.

Issues for the board: Nothing. ## Membership Data: Apache Wayang was founded 2025-11-19 There are currently 18 committers and 9 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members (project graduated recently). - No new committers were added. ## Project Activity: The last month we mainly focused on bug fixing and getting our first release as a TLP out. The release is already prepared and sent to vote in the dev list. We have also been discussing possible projects for the Google summer of code. Not sure if our projects will be used though as the deadline we might have missed the deadline for projects submissions (it was not clear in the page). ## Community Health: Community activity has increased over the last month. Traffic on the dev list has increased and discussions have been constructive. Participation has been consistent, and we continue to respond promptly to PRs and technical questions. We are also seeking more contributors not only for code, but also for documentation, blogs, and other areas. We have seen increased interest since we became a TLP.

Issues for the board: Nothing major. We just noticed that our project is not listed under the unregistered trademarks: https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/list/#unreg_w ## Membership Data: Apache Wayang was founded 2025-11-19 There are currently 18 committers and 9 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members (project graduated recently). - No new committers were added. ## Project Activity: The last quarter we mainly focused on addressing some issues that came from the IPMC and fixed bugs in the Python API, while improving our website before graduation. We are currently working on fixing some issues with the FileObjectSources and updating the Flink platform to the latest DataStream API. One major thing we have planned is a significant improvement of our documentation. We are planning a new release for the end of January. ## Community Health: Community activity has remained steady over the last quarter. Traffic on the dev list has increased and discussions have been constructive, with an emphasis on preparing for graduation and coordinating the remaining IPMC-related tasks. Participation has been consistent, and we continue to respond promptly to PRs and technical questions. We are also seeking more contributors not only for code, but also for documentation, blogs, and other areas. We have seen increased interest since we became a TLP.

There are currently 36 podlings incubating. In April, podlings executed four distinct releases, and no IP clearances occurred. Several incubating proposals have been discussed on the mailing list, and we have three podlings called BifroMQ, Hamilton and PouchDB. The discussion around SAFplus found some licensing and activity issues, and it's unlikely to be accepted as an incubating project. Two people were added to the IPMC. No podlings have retired, but a couple are talking about it. A few podlings failed to report and will be asked to report next month. Conversations on the list have been chiefly about releases and new incubating projects. The discussion to perform name searches early at the start of the incubator process continued. This originally came up as a podling Fury needing to change its name close to graduation. Several projects have been incubating for a long time. Toree looks to be starting that process. Annotator has not replied and has failed to report again this month. Livy is discussing what to do slowly. NLPCraft also failed to report this month, and a roll call sent two weeks ago has received no response. There was also a discussion on selecting which reporting group a podling goes in. ## Community ### New IPMC members: - Jingsong Lee - Keyong Zhou ### People who left the IPMC: - None ## New Podlings - Hamilton - BifroMQ - PouchDB ## Podlings that failed to report, expected next month - Annotator - NLPCraft - PonyMail - Teaclave - Training - Texera ## Graduations - None The board has motions for the following: - Gravitino - StormCrawler ## Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of May: - Amoro 0.8.0 - Fury 0.10.1 - Iggy 0.4.300 - Hertzbeat 1.7.0 ## IP Clearance - None ## Legal / Trademarks See discussion on approving podlings' names. ## Infrastructure N/A ## Table of Contents [Amoro](#amoro) [Cloudberry](#cloudberry) [DevLake](#devlake) [Fury](#fury) [HugeGraph](#hugegraph) [GraphAr](#graphar) [HoraeDB](#horaedb) [Iggy](#iggy) [ResilientDB](#resilientdb) [Otava](#otava) [PouchDB](#pouchdb) [Seata](#seata) [Toree](#toree) [XTable](#xtable)

Hence, it tames the complexity that arises from the "Cambrian explosion" of novel data processing platforms that we currently witness. Wayang has been incubating since 2020-12-16. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Make sure that every PPMC is able to manage a release 2. Release the first version of Apache Wayang under the umbrella of the Apache Software Foundation 3. We have significant growth (stars / forks at GitHub), but we want to gain more popularity and growth the community further ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? Apache Wayang is doing the first release, and it has many iterations; almost all the -1 votes comes from license issues or related. Many members of the community comment about the lack of documentation and examples in the incubator page in a case like: - set up well the license when you bring pieces of code from another project. - what happens when you bring code from another source. - How need to be the headers if you bring the code from the repository that it said is apache but does not contain headers licenses. - How to need to be the license when you bring a code snippet or similar. - and some another cornet cases that could happen. ### How has the community developed since the last report? The community growth is significant (according to Github), the team around Apache Wayang was present at the BOSS conference ’21 and the Apache @home conference. We also signed an LOI with the TU of Berlin to cooperate with “AGORA-EO: Indexing and Querying Earth from Federated Big Data Archives”. The TU Berlin will add federated image processing to Apache Wayang. ### How has the project developed since the last report? As we had to import and rebrand a running project we needed some time to rework the code base for fitting the ASF standards, which resulted in 8 release candidates. The incubator community spottet the issues we weren’t aware of, which allows us now to present the first release of Apache Wayang without a WIP disclaimer. We have chosen this route to make sure that the project will always fit the standards, even when we had different views. At the end all concerns and issues were solved, thanks to the Sheppards. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Until the moment of this report it was created and didn't have any issue, because all the important issues got solved. ### How has the community developed since the last report? The community of Apache Wayang presented at one conference and is preparing another presentation this month. - Apache Wayang participated in the BOSS@VLDB 2021 to present the functionalities; you can find the presentation on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgD_1tPn9sc. - Apache Wayang will present at the ApacheCon@HOME on September 22 at 18:00 UTC. The community is also expecting new contributors soon because one collaboration will start during the following months. ### How has the project developed since the last report? During the last months, the community was fixing some errors, which created a bottleneck, but it finally got solved. After solving the blockage, the focus was cleaning the licenses in the code because some libraries used by Apache Wayang were not license compatible with Apache License. At the moment of this report, We are currently discussing starting our first release. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

The community members are in the applying process to present in a few conferences to show Apache Wayang to the Processing Platform Community and other communities that could be interested in the project. Also, different members of the community had meetings with possible contributors, however, nothing is concrete until the writing point of the report. Additional to that the community is searching for more developers that can be part of it. ### How has the project developed since the last report? The main focus is the first release. The team is focusing on cleaning the code, refactoring some parts and preparing the documentation. However, it is taking more time than the estimated one, but the community members are pushing to have it done as soon as possible. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
