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. All recordings can be found on our YouTube channel [6]:

* TinkerPop Wide: Bringing manual queries to Graph Explorer [8]
Presenter: Arthur Bigeard from G.V(), Kris McGinnes from Graph Explorer
