Here is the attached draft of our board report for this quarter please let me know if there is anything to add or edit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Description: Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Community changes, past quarter: - Yang Xia was added to the PMC on 2023-03-15 - Ken Hu was added as committer on 2023-02-27 ## Project Activity: TinkerPop released versions 3.5.5 and 3.6.2 in the last quarter. These releases were mostly maintenance releases. One noteworthy improvement in these releases is how the Java gremlin-driver deals with temporarily unavailable hosts to make the driver much more resilient to intermittent network failures. Unfortunately, these releases introduced a new bug that prevent some .NET users from upgrading: TINKERPOP-2918.[1] A fix for this problem was already provided by contributor Daniel C. Weber and we plan to publish a release candidate of our .NET library Gremlin.Net with this fix shortly. We are also continuing our work on the upcoming major release 3.7.0. One noteworthy improvement that was implemented in the past quarter is a change in how elements are returned by default. Until now, we only return those elements without their properties in most cases which has been confusing to users. This will be changed in 3.7.0 where such elements, like vertices or edges, are returned with their properties by default.[2] Users will of course still be able to configure a different behavior if they want to. ### Releases: 3.5.5 was released on 2023-01-16. 3.6.2 was released on 2023-01-16. ## Community Health: As already mentioned in the last board report, we have created a YouTube channel for TinkerPop to host recordings of our live events.[3] We have additionally created a Twitch channel [4] where we now host our live events to make it easier for interested users to join them as no account is needed for that like it was for Discord where we held our events previously. We already had four different events on Twitch in the last quarter for which recordings are now available on the YouTube channel: * TinkerPop Wide: G.V() 2023 Roadmap with Q&A - Presenter: Arthur Bigeard - lead developer of G.V() * Contributorcast: Apache TinkerPop 3.5.5/3.6.2 Post-Release Review - Presenter: Yang Xia, Valentyn Kahamlyk, Cole Greer, and Ken Hu * TinkerPop Wide: Back to the Future - Time Travelling with Gremlin in ChronoGraph - Presenter: Martin Häusler - author of ChronoGraph * TinkerPop Wide: New Features of Amazon Neptune 1.2.1.0 - Presenter: Kelvin Lawrence, Dave Bechberger, and Stephen Mallette We have also established some guidelines to host these events / upload videos. These guidelines will be part of our official documentation with the next release but they can already be found in our git repository: [5]. ## Links [1]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2918 [2]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2824 [3]: https://www.youtube.com/@apachetinkerpop [4]: https://www.twitch.tv/apachetinkerpop [5]: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/master/docs/src/dev/developer/for-c ommitters.asciidoc#media-content-submission
