Please let me know comments or additions to the below. This is due to the ASF board tomorrow.
--- ## Description: The mission of Apache Arrow is the creation and maintenance of software related to columnar in-memory processing and data interchange. The project has some level of support for 11 different programming languages. ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Arrow was founded 2016-01-19 (4 years ago) There are currently 52 committers and 30 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Francois Saint-Jacques on 2020-03-04. - Liya Fan was added as committer on 2020-06-09 - Ji Liu was added as committer on 2020-06-09 ## Project Activity: - We made the 0.17.0 and 0.17.1 releases since the last board report. The community is readying a 1.0.0 release which will formally mark stability in the Arrow columnar format binary protocol and a move to semantic versioning of the Arrow libraries. - We moved new JIRA issue notifications off of the dev@ mailing list to issues@ and created a new jira@ mailing list to capture the full JIRA firehose. The reasoning is that this could help encourage more participating in mailing list discussions. - We made changes in the codebase to remove uses of potentially non-neutral language that has been changed in many other open source projects. ## Community Health: The project and contributor base continues to grow in size and scope. We now have over 500 unique contributors since the creation of the project.
