Hello All, Can I get some feedback and additional details to add to the Arrow Board Report. See my draft below:
thanks, Jacques ## Description: Arrow is a columnar in-memory analytics layer designed to accelerate big data. It houses a set of canonical in-memory representations of flat and hierarchical data along with multiple language-bindings for structure manipulation. It also provides IPC and common algorithm implementations. ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: - Awareness continues to increase with the community having done presentations at various meetups as well as the following conferences: Pydata Paris, Hadoop Summit Ireland, Hadoop Summit San Jose and Berlin Buzzwords. - The CPP and Python work has seen steady progress and development of a Parquet <> Arrow interchange layer is improving. A small number of people are actively moving that forward. - Java development has slowed some but appears to be picking up again. ## Health report: - Discussion and code activity has been sporadic. We saw a good initial flurry of activity but need to make the project more approachable for new users. We can do this by doing the following: - We need to get a first release done. - We need to put together a quickstart and demo application for new users. ## PMC changes: - Currently 17 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months. - Last PMC addition was Abdel Hakim Deneche on Tue Jan 20 2016 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 20 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Ippokratis Pandis at Thu Feb 18 2016 ## Releases: - No releases yet. ## JIRA activity: - 71 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 40 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
