Hi Folks, Any updates/comments before I submit our latest board report? (Due in the middle of next week.)
Thanks, Paul. ===============>8============== ## Description: Apache Groovy is responsible for the evolution and maintenance of the Groovy programming language. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing with moderate activity. Issues for the board: No issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Groovy was founded 2015-11-18 (9 years ago) There are currently 21 committers and 12 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 7:4. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Remko Popma on 2022-07-13. - No new committers. Last addition was Zongle Wang on 2023-08-22. ## Project Activity: The project is responding well to raised issues for previous releases and making steady progress towards our next major goal of releasing Groovy 5. Recent releases: 3.0.22 was released on 2024-06-30. 4.0.22 was released on 2024-06-30. 5.0.0-alpha-9 was released on 2024-06-30. ## Community Health: Activity within the issue tracker, mailing lists and GitHub PRs was slightly down compared to previous quarters. We had folks involved with conferences, and on holidays, and in discussions with Grails. We'll need to keep an eye on activity numbers next quarter. This quarter, in the main branch of the main repo, 150 commits were contributed from 8 contributors including 3 non-committer contributors (1 new). We very much appreciated being able to run a Groovy track at CommunityOverCode EU (Bratislava) in June and presenting a Groovy-related keynote at CommunityOverCode Asia (Hangzhou) in July. We look forward to participating in CommunityOverCode NA in October. We are in discussions with the Grails web framework (based on Groovy) for it to enter the ASF with potentially Groovy as the sponsoring project during incubation. We expect to vote on that matter next quarter. Grails is a well-established project spanning many repos and with many plugins including numerous outdated ones. The Grails team is working on defining an "MVP" which would describe which core parts of Grails and maybe some core plugins that would be part of such a proposal.
