We are introducing many new features and working on engaging the community more. Apache Camel K: - For Camel K we released a 2.3.0, 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 (on vote) with a lot of good stuff. - For Camel-K-runtime we released 3.8.0, for 2.3.x work. - Camel K is in good shape and the community is expading with new contributors and many new good idea. Apache Camel Kamelets: - We released Camel Kamelets 4.4.1 - We released Camel Kamelets 4.4.2 - We released Camel Kamelets 4.5.0 - We released Camel Kamelets 4.6.0 - The 4.4.x release train is matching the LTS release from Camel core and it's an important building block for starting with routes - We introduced a lot of new Kamelets and we are improving the documentation by focusing on much more examples Apache Camel Quarkus: - The Camel-Quarkus work is going ahead following the main camel releases with multiple releases - We released Camel-quarkus 3.8.1 - We released Camel-quarkus 3.8.2 - We released Camel-quarkus 3.9.0 - We released Camel-quarkus 3.10.0 - We released Camel-quarkus 3.11.0 - The 3.8.x release train is matching the 4.4.x release from Camel core and it will be an LTS - A lot of work has been done on testing side and we are working on supporting more extensions for vector databases and AI Apache Camel-Karavan: - Camel-Karavan is improving and the community around the project is increasing in number of features and new issues reporting - We released the 4.4.0 - We released the 4.4.1 - We released the 4.5.0 - We released the 4.6.0 - We released also the 4.4.x patch releases matching the LTS version from Camel core Camel-Kafka-Connector: - We plan to release a 4.4.2 to match the LTS release from camel core, the release process is on-going - The community is active and we receive a lot of feedback and requests Overall: - The Camel project and all the subprojects are in a really good shape and all of them are growing in terms of community involvement and contributions. ## Community Health: - 339 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (11% increase) and 339 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (12% increase): Some of the subproject are using github issues, but Camel core is still on JIRA. We are seeing increase in Camel K and Camel Quarkus. - 4248 commits in the past quarter (17% decrease) and 115 code contributors in the past quarter (10% increase): We are consolidating the codebase and that explains the decrease in commits and we are seeing increase in terms of contributors - 1706 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (5% decrease) and 1699 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (6% decrease): Here we are more or less in line with the last quarter. The situation is really good and we are observing more engagement in open PRs. - dev@camel.apache.org had a 10% increase in traffic in the past quarter (363 emails compared to 328): The discussion are moving much more on Zulip but still there was an increase. - iss...@camel.apache.org had a 10% increase in traffic in the past quarter (2122 emails compared to 1915): We are opening more new issues related to possible improvements and developments - us...@camel.apache.org had a 17% increase in traffic in the past quarter (218 emails compared to 185): Users are starting to move and ask questions on Zulip, like the discussion for development, but we have some more discussions related to Karaf and to release scheduling. - Jira Activity: 133 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-60% change) and 164 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-46% change). Those numbers seems innacurate, but only Camel and Camel-Spring-Boot are still using JIRA instead of gh issues, so it is somewhat justified.
