(Due in a couple of days) Thanks, Paul. ===============>8============== ## Description: Apache Groovy is responsible for the evolution and maintenance of the Groovy programming language ## Issues: No issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Groovy was founded 2015-11-18 (5 years ago) There are currently 20 committers and 11 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 Eric Milles on 2020-11-20. - No new committers. Last addition was Mikko Värri on 2020-06-03. ## Project Activity: We continue to work on bug fixes for 2.5.x and 3.0.x and continue to assist other non-Apache projects within the Groovy ecosystem move to Groovy 3. We are also continuing on our roadmap for Groovy 4 and recently released another alpha version. We expect to move to beta/RC versions shortly with GA release expected later this year. We have also had some activity related to the bintray sunset: https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjfrog.com%2Fblog%2Finto-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ceric.milles%40thomsonreuters.com%7C8afa053723514457d59c08d913855c5f%7C62ccb8646a1a4b5d8e1c397dec1a8258%7C0%7C0%7C637562285766225313%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=uEit8NIticYrW7yWSQeUN6Psl4WOE%2FxBoNHzcb1BuF0%3D&reserved=0> Bintray was still the path to Maven Central for older "org.codehaus" Groovy artifacts but that is no longer the case. Recent releases: - 3.0.8 was released on 2021-04-19. - 4.0.0-alpha-3 was released on 2021-04-16. Our most comprehensive historical download statistics are from Maven Central and Bintray. With Bintray's sunset, as mentioned earlier, we haven't found a good exact replacement for those statistics. Our anticipation is that downloads will pick up from Maven Central and Apache's mirror (where we don't have similar statistic reporting capabilities). This seems to be the case so far. Downloads from Maven Central for Mar 2021 were 34.2 million compared to 16.6 million for the same month in 2020. ## Community Health: This quarter, 278 commits (538 across all branches) were contributed from 25 contributors including 51 commits from 20 non-committer contributors (18 new). In recent times, Groovy has benefited from contributions from hacker events, student projects and bug bashes. This has been great for the project but it seems difficult to attract such contributors to hang around longer term. We will continue to work on making it easy for newcomers to find a foothold within the project. Activity across mailing lists, issues and pull requests remained healthy: - 139/177 issues were opened/closed in JIRA during the quarter. - 85/86 PRs were opened/closed on GitHub during the quarter.
