Hello everyone, I've prepared a draft of the board report due in 3 days for your review:
---------------- A## Description: Apache Aries software is a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model. ## Issues: The only issue is not very signification and relates to the migration away from ASF CMS toward an Antora based site. While progress is slow, a recent report from the member working on this indicated that progress was being made. Since this is a volunteer, best effort, that's to be expected. ## Membership Data: Apache Aries was founded 2010-12-14 (10 years ago) There are currently 58 committers and 41 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 4:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Carlos Sierra Andrés on 2018-07-02. - No new committers. Last addition was Romain Manni-Bucau on 2020-01-29. ## Project Activity: Most activity has taken place in 3 projects, cdi, spifly over the last quarter, and most recently in jax-rs-whiteboard. There are more plans for even further activity on jax-rs-whiteboard and a couple of new integrations with it are being conceived. Of course the site migration away from AFS CMS is still in progress and we recently got an update that, while slowly, this is progressing. It should be noted that Aries does contain many widely used and highly stable components that, while they do not provide much activity, issues for them are important and are most often immediately addressed; Aries Blueprint, Aries Proxy, Aries SPI Fly to name just a few. ## Community Health: Community engagement seems to at least be stable while trending toward a slight improvement. However participation is still rather low. Hoping that new releases and a new site can inspire a little more activity. ---------------- -- *Raymond Augé* (@rotty3000) Senior Software Architect *Liferay, Inc.* (@Liferay) OSGi Fellow
