TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.

TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/July2020#three-most-important-unfinished-issues-to-address-before-graduating-16>

   1. Complete the project rename task
   2. Improve and optimize the system to solve system Short board
   3. Promote the system, to let more people to use and participate in the
   community

Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

One,Our rename implementation Jira[1] still has no clear completion time.
Since the new name passed and mentor JB submitted the rename Jira[1] on
March 11, after the priority of the jira was adjusted from Major to Minor
on March 13, the mentors has pinged several times, but still no more
movement.

How has the community developed since the last report?
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/July2020#how-has-the-community-developed-since-the-last-report-16>
We have recently deployed the community TubeMQ 0.8.0 version in our
environment, from the comparison of before and after the gray-scale, the
performance of the version is at least 5% higher than before. Especially
the metric of the number of disks written by the system has dropped
significantly, and the problems found have been reported back to the
community for repair.

At the same time, we have conducted three offline technical exchanges with
the technical teams of other different companies (the relevant
communication documents have been placed on the external website for other
business review and analysis). Through the comparison of the environmental
issues of different companies in the big data scenario, TubeMQ has
relatively good cost advantages and technical characteristics. We will
continue to choose to cooperate with companies with similar scenario
requirements to allow more people who need this ability. The company uses
this component and participates in the operation of the community.

In addition to using email to synchronize information on major issues, we
created an "inlong" channel in ASF on Slack to meet and solve the needs of
users in the same time zone for timely communication.

How has the project developed since the last report?
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/July2020#how-has-the-project-developed-since-the-last-report-16>
When we were preparing for the release of TubeMQ 0.8.0 without the "-WIP"
tag, we discovered that the BDB component that the project metadata
management module relies on has a license authorization problem, we are
refactoring this part to meet Apache's license requirements.

At the same time, our project has submitted an application for name change
and has been approved by Apache. We are currently preparing for the content
of the project after the name change, including the project homepage, Logo,
modules to be open sourced, documentation, etc, and some of the content has
been completed and is waiting to be applied online after the name change is
completed; the name change implementation Jira [1] has been submitted by
Mentor JB on March 11, and is still in pending status without clear
implementation completion time.
