This September, we are about to start the vote for 1.8.0, which is a feature release, carrying improvements like, - A brand new Web UI and Batch API V2 - Support Apache Flink application-mode - Support Scala 2.13 compilation - Support Apache Spark 3.4 In addition to the ongoing work on the 1.9 line, early discussion and exploratory work for Kyuubi 3.x has begun. 1.9 might mainly achieve these goals: - Support Java up to 21, including 17+ - Support Scala 3.x - Native Support for MPP engines, such as Apache Doris, Impala, etc ### Meetup & conference - 2023-8-18(Beijing), more than 8 kyuubi community members attended 'Community Over Code Asia 2023', and one of our PMC gave a speech - 2023-9-23(Hangzhou), A Kyuubi & Spark meetup will be held - 2023-10-13(Shanghai), A Kyuubi Journey into Bilibili - 2023-10-18(Hangzhou), A Kyuubi & Celeborn meetup will be held ### Developer event We've been planning `2023 Kyuubi Coding Contribution Program` in this quater and it will be luanched this October. ## Community Health: We've received new usecases and contributions from Nivida, AWS, Shopee, etc., it's good sigh for us to see kyuubi being adopted in large vendors. The dev mailing list had big decrease in the past quarter, as the users and contributors are more likely to use tools like Wechat group, Github Issues. We don't have a proper solution for it right now. Kent Yao
