The Apache Software Foundation said Apache Artemis and Apache Wayang became Top-Level Projects, reporting the change in status for both projects within the foundation and noting the foundation’s role in supporting open source communities.

The PR described the foundation as the global home for open source software, listed several existing Apache projects, and stated the foundation was established in 1999; it also referenced the ASF’s Community Over Code event and said the ASF provides projects with services and mentorship for building resilient and durable communities.

Apache Artemis is a multi-protocol open source messaging platform that originated from the Apache ActiveMQ project and supports AMQP, Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), and STOMP; it can run as a Standalone (SA) broker, be embedded into applications, or integrate within Java EE application servers. Apache Wayang is a data processing framework that integrates and orchestrates multiple data processing systems through a three-layer architecture and lists platforms such as Apache Flink, Apache Spark, TensorFlow, and databases; Wayang includes a cross-platform optimizer that automates data system selection.

The announcement recorded that both projects attained Top-Level Project status and reiterated that the Apache Incubator provides services to incoming projects (called podlings) that want to enter the ASF and adopt The Apache Way, while the ASF provides services and mentorship throughout a project’s lifecycle.

“Transitioning to ASF Top-Level Project status opens new opportunities for Apache Artemis,” said Christopher L. Shannon, Apache Artemis Predictive Maintenance Controller (PMC) Chair. “With dedicated contributors and the Foundation’s support, we’re ready to elevate the project’s impact and expand its reach.” “Achieving ASF Top-Level Project status marks an exciting milestone for Apache Wayang,” said Zoi Kaoudi, Apache Wayang PMC Chair. “This milestone, combined with strong community momentum, positions us to enhance the project and reach even more developers.”

The PR said contributors and project leaders described plans to expand the projects’ reach and to enhance the projects going forward.
