+
+This Cloudberry incubation report summarizes our major progress during May and
July 2025. It is adapted from the [Apache Incubator Report August
2025](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/August2025), with
some modifications for readability.

+## Cloudberry
+
+Cloudberry is an advanced and mature open-source Massively Parallel Processing
(MPP) database, derived from the open-source version of Pivotal Greenplum
Database®️ but built on a more modern PostgreSQL 14 kernel, whereas Greenplum
is based on PostgreSQL 12. This upgrade brings enhanced enterprise
capabilities, making Cloudberry well-suited for data warehousing, large-scale
analytics, and AI/ML workloads.
+
+Cloudberry has been incubating since 2024-10-11.
+
+### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
+
+ 1. Publish the first Apache release following ASF release processes.
+ 2. Grow the contributor and community to ensure long-term sustainability.
+
+### How has the community developed since the last report?
+
+ - Mailing list Activity: 221 new emails on the Dev mailing list since the
last report, covering technical and Apache-related discussions.
+ - Slack Activity: 15 new threads in `general` channel, 5 new members since
last report.
+ - GitHub Discussions: 16 new threads since last report.
+ - New Committers:
+ - May 21, 2025 - Wenchao Zhang (zhangwenchao-123)
+ - July 9, 2025 - Xun Gong (gongxun0928)
+ - Events:

+
+### How has the project developed since the last report?
+
+ - Compliance with ASF policy:
+ - Renamed `greenplum_path` to `cloudberry-env.sh` for better compliance
with ASF rules.
+ - Updated Apache RAT license metadata for release.
+ - Changed PAX's cpp-stub from submodule to subdir to avoid introducing
binary files.
+ - Changed Python modules for gpMgmt from bundling their source tarballs to
downloading them during the build process via `pip3 install`.
+ - Working on the first Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) 2.0.0 release:
+ - Already had RC1 & RC2 rounds and fixed some license issues, will have an
RC3 round for the dev vote and Apache Incubator vote.
+ - PostgreSQL Kernel upgrade: the community developer has started the kernel
upgrade work from PG 14.4 to PG 16.6.
+ - 130 new commits to main branch since the last report, focusing on
performance improvements, bug fixes and new features.
+ - Ecosystem:
+ - Apache SeaTunnel added official connector support for Apache Cloudberry
in its latest 2.3.11 release (See https://s.apache.org/baj30).
+ - Flink JDBC Connector v3.3.0+ now supports Cloudberry via PR
https://s.apache.org/jt29r
+ - Our GitHub main repo has reached 1k+ GitHub stars!
