Hi everyone, Here's a draft of our report to the ASF board for this quarter. Please let me know if you'd like to add or change anything.
rb ## Description: - Avro is a cross-language data serialization system. ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: - Released 1.8.1 on 20 May 2016 - Discussion on the dev list agreed to a goal of a release every quarter, and one PMC member has volunteered to be release manager for 1.8.2. - JavaScript implementation added RPC support - Close to a spec and implementation standardizing a single-message format for uses like Apache Kafka payloads. ## Health report: - Avro is healthier than last month - Contributor engagement is still a goal we need to work toward, with only a few committers actively reviewing patches. Regular releases help, but we can make it easier for both committers and contributors by adding time-saving tools like continuous integration. ## PMC changes: - Currently 16 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Sean Busbey on Sun Feb 14 2016 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 23 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Matthieu Monsch at Mon Jan 18 2016 ## Releases: - 1.8.1 was released on Fri May 20 2016 ## Mailing list activity: - [email protected]: - 271 subscribers (down -1 in the last 3 months): - 655 emails sent to list (660 in previous quarter) - [email protected]: - 621 subscribers (up 16 in the last 3 months): - 48 emails sent to list (107 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 53 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 29 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months -- Ryan Blue
