I've rejiggered the heart of the report to move some of the information about Commons Math into the health section which I feel is more appropriate. I'll send this in very soon.
## Issues: - There are no issues that requires the boards attention this quarter. ## Activity: - The project is active with 6 releases this reporting period. - We released one new component: Apache Commons RNG 1.0. Commons RNG provides implementations of pseudo-random numbers generators that are either faster or of higher quality (and sometimes both) than java.util.Random. - Commons RDF is making its way out of the incubator into Commons toward a 1.0 release. ## Health report: - Most components in Commons are mature, but are still actively maintained (6 releases). The dev list is active. JIRA is active. Speed of responses to users is reasonable in most cases. We have 1 new PMC member, and Commons is still open to any Apache Committer. - Commons Math still feels stuck and now depends on Commons RNG in our repository. We are discussing how to evolve this component, which has caused some friction within our community, all of which can be seen on the developer's mailing list. There are several proposals for fostering new communities in place of the dwindling Commons Math one, but that those are in limbo because no consensus has been reached yet.
