Dear community,
As part of our responsibilities as a newly graduated Top-Level Project, we
need to submit our first report to the Apache Board this month. I have
drafted a report as attached.
Please take a look and share any comments or suggestions. In particular,
let me know if:
- There are corrections or updates needed for project activity, releases,
or community changes.
- Anything should be highlighted more (or less) for the Board’s attention.
The submitted content is editable until Sep.10th, so any feedback before
then would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Zhaofeng

# Apache Teaclave Board Report - September 2025
## Description
Apache Teaclave provides SDKs for building memory-safe applications on
Trusted
Execution Environments.
## Project Status
**Status:** New
Apache Teaclave graduated as a Top-Level Project on August 21,
2025. Since graduation, the community has completed the transition to TLP
infrastructure, including GitHub repositories, distribution servers, website
updates, and project documentation.
## Summary of Project Health and Status
Since graduation, Apache Teaclave has completed the transition from
incubation, updated all references to reflect TLP status, and is preparing
its
first release as a TLP. The community remains active with steady development
and moderate mailing list discussions. Current focus is on completing the
v0.6.0 release and strengthening developer tooling for building applications
on TEEs.
## Issues for Board Attention
There are no Board-level issues at this time.
## Recent Releases
- 2025-07-17: Teaclave TrustZone SDK v0.5.0
- WIP: Teaclave TrustZone SDK v0.6.0 (first release as a TLP)
## Project Activity
### Development Activity
- Ongoing work to improve build/test environment for TEE applications.
- Introduced new branches showcasing Web3 use cases, with plans to merge
into
the main branch.
- Active effort to eliminate all `cargo clippy` warnings and enforce
stricter
CI checks.
- ~30–40 commits merged this quarter.
### Community Activity
- Developer mailing list: moderate activity (~20 threads since graduation).
- No new committers or PMC members since graduation.
## Current Plans
- **Short term:**
- Release Teaclave TrustZone SDK v0.6.0.
- Enforce strict CI checks (clippy, lint, tests) to enhance codebase
quality.
- **Medium term:**
- Open source additional real-world SDK use cases (e.g., Web3 scenarios).
- Align release cadence with OP-TEE’s quarterly releases.
## Community Changes
- At graduation: 18 initial PMC members.
- Current: 18 PMC members, no new additions.
- No new committers or PMC members elected since graduation.
- PMC membership represents a healthy diversity of organizations.
## Project Branding
