Here is the attached draft of our board report for this quarter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Description: Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). ## Activity: TinkerPop released 3.4.12 and 3.5.1 on July 19, 2021. These releases came a bit earlier than expected to address a bug implementers had encountered in 3.5.0. While the bug had a relatively simple workaround and did not particularly affect end users, there was consensus in the community to release sooner than later. These changes did include some minor enhancements as well. After 3.5.1 released, it was announced that JanusGraph became the first graph provider to support the 3.5.x release line. Development on 3.4.13, 3.5.2 and 3.6.0 is all well underway and it would be likely that we'd see releases of at least 3.4.13 and 3.5.2 this year. It is also likely that we will be reaching the end of the 3.4.x line of maintenance. We've recently become aware of two new TinkerPop implementations in the Tibco Graph Database[1] and ArcadeDB[2]. That brings the total number of graph systems supporting TinkerPop to thirty. We are aware that our committer growth has been slow and are considering ideas to improve our ability to attract and retain folks. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Releases: - 3.4.12 (July 19, 2021) - 3.5.1 (July 19, 2021) ## PMC/Committer: - Last PMC addition was Kelvin Lawrence/Josh Shinavier - June 2021 - Last committer addition was Øyvind Sæbø - March 2021 ## Links [1] https://www.tibco.com/products/tibco-graph-database/ [2] https://arcadedb.com/
