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: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Yang Xia on 2023-03-15. - Cole Greer was added as committer on 2023-05-30 ## Project Activity: TinkerPop released versions 3.5.6, 3.6.3, and 3.6.4. in the last quarter. These releases were mostly maintenance releases. One noteworthy improvement in 3.5.6 and 3.6.3 is a new multi-architecture Docker image for Gremlin Server which supports ARM64 in addition to AMD64. 3.6.4 was a patch release that fixed a critical bug in the Java driver and a memory leak in the .NET driver. We are closing in on releasing 3.7.0 shortly, a release that includes work from over a year. Major improvements in this release are support for JDK 17 and Groovy 4. This release will also include usability improvements in areas that users often request like support for string manipulations directly in Gremlin and returning vertices and edges with their properties by default instead of only as reference elements which often led to confusion, especially for new users. Together with 3.7.0, we plan to also publish maintenance releases 3.5.6 and 3.6.4. In the wider TinkerPop ecosystem, we learned that Aerospike released the first version of their graph database which supports TinkerPop New graph database.[1] ### Releases: 3.6.4 was released on 2023-05-12. 3.5.6 was released on 2023-05-01. 3.6.3 was released on 2023-05-01. ## Community Health: We again had some live events on Twitch[2] where the recording are available on our YouTube channel[3]: * TinkerPop Wide: ArcadeDB - a Multi-Model Database with Gremlin - Presenter: Luca Garulli - founder of ArcadeDB * Contributorcast: Apache TinkerPop 3.5.6/3.6.3 Post-Release Review - Presenter: Yang Xia, Valentyn Kahamlyk, Cole Greer, and Ken Hu * TinkerPop Wide: Introducing Graph Notebook - Presenter: Kelving Lawrence and Taylor Riggan from AWS, working on Amazon Neptune ## Links [1]: https://aerospike.com/news/press-release/aerospike-delivers-real-time-scalab le-graph-database/ [2]: https://www.twitch.tv/apachetinkerpop [3]: https://www.youtube.com/@apachetinkerpop
