Thanks everyone. The report has been submitted. Text below. --- begin report --- ## Description: The Apache Accumulo isa robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing.
## Issues: There are no new issues requiring board attention. The trademark issue with http:www.accumulodata.com is still open until the domain expires on 2021-06-28. Initial emails are at [1] and follow-up discussions at [2] No action has been required and allowing the domain to expire was deemed a viable option by Brand Management VP in Jan-2021 [3] to minimize volunteer efforts. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-21 (9 years ago) There are currently 39 committers and 39 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Karthick Narendran was added to the PMC on 2021-01-22 - Karthick Narendran was added as committer on 2021-01-22 ## Project Activity: No new releases this reporting period. Last release dates: - accumulo-2.0.1 was released on 2020-12-24. - accumulo-1.10.1 was released on 2020-12-22. Project activity on the next release remains active with significant improvements to the current baseline. The remaining issues are being actively worked. Highlights of changes this reporting period: - Removal of potentially harmfully terminology to more inclusive terms continues. - Formalization of public API. Previously, certain internal classes were necessary for users for some functions (iterators) - the interface has been extracted and formally declared as part of the Accumulo public API. - The Apache Accumulo PMC agreed to participate in an Open Source Hackathon for Diversity (April 29-30) The goal of the hackathon is to kick-start involvement in the OSS community and foster an environment for contributions and increase the diversity of the OSS communities. Event details at: [open source hackathon]( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-source-hackathon-tickets-150583967701) ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. - Decreases in Jira and dev mailing list activity reflect the community transition to using GitHub as a focal point for development. This is reflected in the increased activity for PRs and GitHub issues. - contributions from 14 individuals reflecting continued community involvement and consistent participation. ## Links [1]:https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/514d3cf9162e72f4aa13be1db5d6685999fc83755695308a529de4d6@%3Cprivate.accumulo.apache.org%3E [2]:https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rcc8c07db43222e08b9992fd739b8f24d18569ba9af3decfdb52c4a3e%40%3Cprivate.accumulo.apache.org%3E [3]:https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r408e3eed907e3ad24a7c84b5247f51973a4c965c891b01215e45ee17%40%3Cprivate.accumulo.apache.org%3E On 2021/04/14 22:56:49, Christopher <ctubb...@apache.org> wrote: > Note: removed user@ list and added dev@ list.
