Hi Accumulo Devs, As per our agreed-upon practice of drafting our quarterly board report on the dev list, I present the following to you for your review. Normally, our PMC Chair, Ed, would draft this, but I took the liberty of helping out and drafting it this time, since we missed our regularly scheduled report last month, and Ed told me in a recent correspondence that he had been quite busy, so I wasn't sure if he'd be able to do it in time this month. If Ed is able to jump in and complete it today, I'm happy to hand it back over to him. But, just in case he isn't able to, I'll submit the following (unless anybody has any suggested changes) later this evening.
---- ## Description: The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing with moderate to high activity. Issues for the board: None. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (14 years ago) There are currently 43 committers and 39 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. It is our practice to invite committers to be PMC members at the same time. The difference between committers and PMC members is because some PMC members have elected to go emeritus. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Kevin Rathbun on 2024-07-24. - No new committers. Last addition was John Kucera on 2025-06-04. ## Project Activity: Accumulo is currently working on several development efforts: - Developing a new context classloader factory for use with Accumulo deployments, to facilitate user plugins being deployed to a remote location that is accessible to a running system - Improving the access library that was placed in its own module for independent releasing, to implement Accumulo access controls - Continuing to improve the stability of 2.1 and preparing for a 2.1.5 release - Continuing work towards supporting more dynamic scaling in a future 4.0 version - Improving scripts and user command-line experience for version 4.0 ### Releases: - accumulo-2.1.4 was released on 2025-08-20. - accumulo-2.1.3 was released on 2024-08-12. - accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta was released on 2024-02-17. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. The low email traffic on the dev list reflects the community preference of using GitHub projects and issues for planning and PRs for code discussions, but this activity is also reflected in the notifications list, for anybody who prefers not to engage on GitHub (this is rare for our community).
