Hello, Here is the draft for December board report. I'm planning to submit it this afternoon, so if you have feedback please let me know today. Thanks.
## Description: The mission of Apache Camel is the creation and maintenance of an open-source integration framework based on known Enterprise Integration Patterns. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Camel was founded 2008-12-17 (13 years ago) There are currently 79 committers and 38 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was James Netherton on 2021-04-12. - No new committers. Last addition was Marat Gubaidullin on 2021-07-29. ## Project Activity: - We released Camel 3.7.6 - We released Camel 3.11.2 - We released Camel 3.11.3 - We released Camel 3.11.4 - We released Camel 3.12.0 - We released Camel 3.13.0 - We released 3.11.0 release: this releases train is the LTS release with 3.7.x. We're going to stop releasing 3.7.x releases and going ahead with two LTS 3.11.x and 3.14.x. - We are going to release 3.14.0 in the Middle of December: this release will be the last supporting Java 8, so we're going to support it for 2 years instead of 1. intermediate development releases. - We released Camel K 1.6.1 - We released Camel K 1.7.0 - We are improving the Camel-K experience and we are expanding and improving the Kamelet concept, by introducing more Kameletes to the provided catalog. The amount of Kamelets is increasing in a really impressive way. - The Camel-Quarkus work is going ahead following the main camel releases with multiple releases - We released Camel-quarkus 2.3.0 - We released Camel-quarkus 2.4.0 - We released Camel-quarkus 2.5.0 - We are continuing working on the Camel-kafka-connector for basing it on Kamelet concept - 0.11.0 on 21 Sep 2021 - We are going to release 1.0 based on 3.14.0 LTS soon, probably in January. - We added two more projects to the ecosystem - https://github.com/apache/camel-kameleon - https://github.com/apache/camel-karavan ## Community Health: - [email protected] had a 45% increase in traffic in the past quarter (501 emails compared to 344): This increase is related to 3.14.x LTS release and migration effort and some camel-k discussion. - [email protected] had a 58% increase in traffic in the past quarter (2360 emails compared to 1488): We are working a lot on JIRA to clean up and setup everything related to 3.14.0 release, also we have some issues and discussion around the website. - [email protected] had a 9% increase in traffic in the past quarter (326 emails compared to 299): the situation is more or less the same of the last quarter, the increase is probably related to users moving from Camel 2.x and 3.x - 212 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-42% decrease) and 209 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-42% decrease): as reported above, the situation is stable. The activity related to Camel 2 is near to zero and we are focusing on old opened issues. We are getting feedback about new LTS releases, but many of them are coming from other channel like the zulip chat. - 3122 commits in the past quarter (7% decrease) and 119 code contributors in the past quarter (4% decrease): the core Camel team is stabilizing the codebase so there is a little decrease in number of commits, contributions related to documentation and website is increasing. We are much more focusing on giving to the community something stable with 3.14.0 and when it will be released we'll restart to innovate with the next dev releases. - 875 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-7% decrease) and 872 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-8% decrease): the code stabilization and less work on the camel kafka connector side explain the decrease in number of PRs open and closed. Camel-kafka-connector still needs to be aligned to the new LTS with Kamelets support, but in the next quarter we'll release it aligned with the latest LTS. - 210 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (25% decrease) and 211 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (22% decrease): It's always related to camel-kamelets repository. There were a lot of issues opened there in the last two quarters.
