On September 17th, 2025, the [Fesod](https://github.com/apache/fesod) project achieved a milestone by winning the approval to join the incubator of the [Apache Software Foundation](https://www.apache.org/) (ASF), the world's leading open source software organization. On September 25th, the Fesod project was officially transferred to the Apache Software Foundation.
On September 17, 2025, Beijing time, [Fesod](https://github.com/apache/fesod) successfully passed the voting resolution
of the Apache Foundation Incubator.
According to the Apache Foundation [mailing list](https://lists.apache.org/thread/k744v8ff22mom3bplqkjnc2qvtksj59f), it
was approved with 9 binding votes, with no abstentions or opposing
votes, to accept Fesod into the Apache Incubator. This marked its official status as an incubation project under the
[Apache Software Foundation](https://www.apache.org/), the world's largest open-source foundation. On September 25,
2025, the Fesod repository was

Fesod was originally named FastExcel and was officially open-sourced on GitHub in October 2024. With continuous project
maintenance and iteration by the community members, as well as the continuous growth of the community, now the Fesod
project has officially been announced to join the Apache Incubator. This marks a new beginning for the Fesod project,
indicating that open-source community collaboration will become more standardized and internationalized!

## Introduction

Apache Fesod (Incubating) is a high-performance and memory-efficient Java library for reading and writing
spreadsheet files, designed to simplify development and ensure reliability. The name fesod (pronounced `/ˈfɛsɒd/`), an
acronym for "fast easy spreadsheet and other documents," expresses the project's origin, background, and vision.

Apache Fesod (Incubating) can provide developers and enterprises with great freedom and flexibility. We plan to
introduce more new features in the future to continually enhance user experience and tool usability. Apache Fesod (
Incubating) is committed to being your best choice for handling spreadsheet files.

## Features

- **High-performance Reading and Writing**: Apache Fesod (Incubating) focuses on performance optimization, capable of
efficiently handling large-scale spreadsheet data. Compared to some traditional spreadsheet processing libraries, it
can
significantly reduce memory consumption.
- **Simplicity and Ease of Use**: The library offers a simple and intuitive API, allowing developers to easily integrate
it into projects, whether for simple spreadsheet operations or complex data processing.
- **Stream Operations**: Apache Fesod (Incubating) supports stream reading, minimizing the problem of loading large
amounts of data at once. This design is especially important when dealing with hundreds of thousands or even millions
of rows of data.

## Current Development Status

The project was initiated by the original core maintainer in 2024, aiming to provide a more efficient Excel processing
solution and ensure long-term sustainable maintenance. Since its open-source status, a small community has been
initially established. The main repository has received a total of **5.0K+** stars on GitHub, has released community
versions **5** times, and has **20+** contributors.
We have received continuous widespread attention and support from the community, which is both a recognition of our past
work and an expectation for our future development.

## Why Join the Apache Incubator

Joining the Apache Incubator is mainly based on the following reasons:

- Under the guidance of the Apache Mature Open Source Foundation, the collaboration of open source projects and the
operation of community governance will become more standardized.
- Build a more prosperous and diverse developer community. We hope to attract more outstanding developers from home and
abroad to join, making the developer community more diverse.
- Expand the application scope and encourage its integration into more open source and commercial projects, promoting
the development of new use cases and functions.

Next, the community will be guided by the Apache incubator mentors to manage and operate the community in accordance
with the concept of "Community over Code", and also ensure that every outstanding contributor can be recognized. At the
level of open-source products, listen to user feedback, improve and optimize the product usage experience, and build
connections with the open-source ecosystem.

## Introduction of the Supervisor

Thank you all for your selfless assistance. You provided professional guidance in terms of compliance and process
advancement. Special thanks to the project Champion, @tison. During the project's journey into the incubator, he/she led
the entire process from the drafting stage of the proposal to discussions and ultimately to the initiation of voting,
offering many valuable professional suggestions and guidance.

We believe that with the guidance of all the mentors, the community will grow more healthily in the future.
