Hi folks! Here's the report for the quarter I submitted. Let me know if there are any last minute changes y'all would like to see.
---- ## Description: Apache Avro is a data serialization system with a compact binary format. It is used for storing and transporting schema driven serialized data. The unique features of Avro include automatic schema resolution - when the reader's expected schema is different from the actual schema with which the data was serialized the data is automatically adapted to meet reader's requirements. ## Issues: The project currently has no issues that require board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Avro was founded 2010-04-20 (10 years ago) There are currently 33 committers and 23 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Nándor Kollár on 2019-08-29. - No new committers. Last addition was Ryan Skraba on 2019-12-12. ## Project Activity: Apache Avro 1.9.2 was released on 2020-02-12. This release included some new experimental features that try to improve performance[1]. Work has continued to update both build tools, language versions, third party dependencies, and ease of integration in preparation for a new major release currently planned for May 2020, version 1.10.0. The previously reported need to document and update how the project versions releases came up for discussion again but no action has been taken yet. ## Numbers For those who prefer metrics: Mailing Lists: - dev@avro.apache.org had 1034 emails (24% increase) - u...@avro.apache.org had 91 emails (15% increase) JIRA: - 115 issues opened (42% increase) - 76 issues closed (7% increase) GitHub: - 88 PRs open (9% increase) - 68 PRs closed (7% decrease) Code Repository: - 122 commits in the past quarter (67% increase) - 25 code contributors in the past quarter (39% increase) ## Community Health: Community health is doing well at drawing in contributions. The PMC still needs to work to recognize contributors through committership. Current focus is on working towards releases.
