I've filed the August 2020 board report. Thanks for the updates about blogs. Here is a capture of the report:
## Description: The mission of Apache Geode is the creation and maintenance of software related to a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. - 309 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-3% decrease) - 244 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (1% increase) ## Membership Data: Apache Geode was founded 2016-11-15 (4 years ago) There are currently 109 committers and 54 PMC members in this project. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Alexander Murmann on 2020-03-26. - No new committers. Last addition was Mario Kevo on 2020-03-23. ## Project Activity: We're actively working on the version 1.13 release, with many discussions over code inclusions that delay the release, but provide a higher quality product. There is significant discussion and activity surrounding: - WAN Configuration for an Ingress Proxy - Avoiding the queuing of dropped events by the primary gateway sender when the gateway sender is stopped - Geode Redis API improvements - Modularization / classloader isolation - Support for an operation that clears a partitioned region ## Community Health: The Apache Geode dev mailing list had a 26% decrease in traffic, while the issues mailing list experienced a 32% increase in traffic in Q2. We are planning a Geode content track for ApacheCon @Home. We have two days of content based on submissions from the community.
