Hi Yang, Thanks for taking the lead again on the quarterly report. The draft looks good to me.
Cole From: Yang Xia <[email protected]> Date: Monday, October 6, 2025 at 2:12 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [DISCUSS] Draft ASF Board Report - October 2025 Hi all, Please see the October quarterly report draft below, and let me know if there is anything missing or needs updates. -------------------------------------------------------- ## Description: Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). ## Project Status: The project is ongoing with relatively high activities this past quarter. ## Issues: While we received a vulnerability report related to script processing in gremlin-server, this issue was promptly resolved by the PMC with support from the Apache Security Team. The reported issue was well-known, had documented alternative processing options, and a longer term plan to wholly change script processing for the next major version of 4.0 together addressed the concern. ## Membership Data: Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Cole Greer on 2025-06-02. - Andrea Child was added as committer on 2025-08-11 ## Project Activity: The project maintains strong development momentum this quarter, with work centered on TinkerPop 3.8.0 features and a targeted release in the coming months [1]. This transitional version delivers critical bug fixes, select feature enhancements backported from 4.0.0-beta.1, and new capabilities including number casting [2], type predicate [3], and query semantics refinements that improve Gremlin traversal consistency and ease of use. The 3.8.0 release will also include an expanded sample dataset collection with the addition of Air Routes [4], a real-world airline route network, which enables users to test complex queries against realistic graph structures. After the 3.8.0 release, development attention will return to TinkerPop 4, with 4.0.0-beta.2 planned for early 2026. ### Releases: 3.7.4 was released on 2025-08-01 ## Community Health: The TinkerPop community maintains consistent momentum with regular contributions from core committers and active engagement from users in our community Discord server. First-time contributors continue to submit valuable contributions, ranging from documentation improvements to bug fixes and dependency updates. A notable community contribution is gremlin-mcp [5], the first AI tooling integration for TinkerPop. This project is currently in a feature branch with publication planned for an upcoming release. This quarter featured three well-attended live events on Twitch [5]: a TinkerPop Wide session showcasing Graph Explorer's new query editing capabilities, a Contributorcast reviewing the 3.7.4 release, and a session on graph-enhanced AI-memory and NetworkX cloud analytics with Amazon Neptune.
