Thanks for the feedback all. Final report I submitted below. Uwe, good catch on Java <> Parquet. Mental hiccup on my part...we don't have that yet :P
## 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: - Arrow made its first release. - In preparation of the release, multiple discussions were focused on formalizing various Arrow specification details. - Discussion was good and we reworked some integration to invert the dependency model between the Parquet project and the Arrow project. - A new Arrow file format was defined and implemented in both Java and C++. It is also available from Python. - Community members covered Arrow at multiple conferences including Strata NYC. - Arrow <> Parquet interchange has been made available in C++. - The new Arrow file format is planned to be used to move forward on both cross-language IPC implementations and enabling cross-language compatibility tests. - We've seen good growth in the Arrow developer mailing list, having increased to 467 subscribers (up 43 in the last 3 months): ## Health report: - The first release is a good step in engaging a broader range of contributors and users. Having bits for use, albeit alpha, allows us to engage a wider range of engineers. - We need to continue to add new examples and more documentation to better describe how to use and extend Arrow. ## 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 19 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: - 0.1.0 was released on Wed Oct 12 2016 ## JIRA activity: - 95 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 73 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 3:21 PM, Julian Hyde <jh...@apache.org> wrote: > I know the board discourages including the mailing list stats, but they’re > not too shabby.
