Dear Fluss PPMC and mentors, Here's the draft for this quarter's podling report. Looking forward to any feedback and please sign-off when you are able.
I also updated it at the cwiki: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/April2026 Best, Jark Wu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Fluss Fluss is a streaming storage built for real-time analytics which can serve as the real-time data layer for Lakehouse architectures. Fluss has been incubating since 2025-06-04. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Complete more Apache releases: finalizing the Fluss-Rust 0.1.0 RC voting process and planning the Fluss 0.9.1 release for April. 2. Grow the community and attract more committers, contributors and users. 3. Fill out the maturity model and graduation preparations ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? There are no critical issues to report at this time. The team is currently preparing for the first release of Fluss-Rust, which includes C++ and Python bindings. We expect to initiate the IPMC voting process within the next few days. ### How has the community developed since the last report? - Add 2 new committers (Liebing Yu and Keith Lee), currently with total 19 committers. - Add 1 new PPMC member (Mehul Batra), the first invited PPMC member since incubation, for a total of 14 PPMC members (including mentors). - Held regular monthly community calls in January, February, and March. - Community presentations and outreach: * Fluss PPMC members presented at the joint "Apache Fluss × Apache Iceberg" webinar on January 20, 2026. * Giannis Polyzos spoke at QCon London on March 17, 2026. ### How has the project developed since the last report? - Released version 0.9.0 on March 2, 2026, marking the second official release under the Apache Incubator. This milestone reflects three months of collaborative development featuring over 400 commits and 12 highlighted features from the community. - Initiated the release of Fluss-Rust 0.1.0, which includes C++ and Python SDKs. This represents the first multi-language client version for Fluss, comprising over 200 commits from 27 contributors. - Active development is underway for version 1.0.0, with a target release date in June 2026. - The community discussed and finalized the [project roadmap for 2026](https://github.com/apache/fluss/discussions/2342). ### How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary. - [ ] Initial setup - [ ] Working towards first release - [ ] Community building - [x] Nearing graduation - [ ] Other: ### Date of last release: 2026-03-02 (v0.9.0) ### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected? 2026-03-10 ### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

Yes, everything is fine. ### Signed-off-by: - [ ] (fluss) Jean-Baptiste Onofré Comments: - [ ] (fluss) Becket Qin Comments: - [ ] (fluss) Yu Li Comments: - [ ] (fluss) Jingsong Lee Comments: - [ ] (fluss) Zili Chen Comments: ### IPMC/Shepherd notes: ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 at 09:37 Subject: Podling Fluss Report Reminder - April 2026 To: <[email protected]> Dear podling, This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache Incubator PMC. It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your quarterly board report. The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 15 April 2026. The report for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The Incubator PMC requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to allow sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, April 01). Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the Incubator PMC, and subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting. Candidate names should not be made public before people are actually elected, so please do not include the names of potential committers or PPMC members in your report. Thanks, The Apache Incubator PMC Submitting your Report ---------------------- Your report should contain the following: * Your project name * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the project or necessarily of its field * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation. * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of * How has the community developed since the last report * How has the project developed since the last report. * How does the podling rate their own maturity. This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/April2026 Note: This is manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this page is created from a template. Note: The format of the report has changed to use markdown. Mentors ------- Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on the Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator PMC. Incubator PMC
