Hi Groovy (including Geb) & Grails folks, Any updates/comments before I submit our latest board report? (Due in a few days).
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 (10 years ago) There are currently 23 committers and 13 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Soeren Glasius on 2024-11-06. - No new committers. Last addition was Sergio del Amo on 2024-12-20. ## Project Activity: 4.0.29 was released on 2025-10-18. 5.0.2 was released on 2025-10-18. geb-8.0.0 was released on 2025-09-12. 5.0.1 was released on 2025-09-10. 5.0.0 was released on 2025-08-24. ## Community Health: Overall, community activity in terms of commits, PRs, issues fixed, and mailing list activity was about average this quarter. But despite average statistics, it was not average in terms of excitement with four significant highlights for the quarter. Several years in the making, the project released Groovy 5 with 400+ changes since Groovy 4. Early planning for Groovy 6 will commence soon. The Geb subproject had its first release as part of the ASF. Further work is underway to streamline releases. Some of those involved in Geb who aren't already Groovy committers are good candidates for future committers. Work helping Grails on their incubation journey is complete in the sense that their graduation was approved at the last board meeting. They were a joy to work with and we wish them every success going forward. We still anticipate working very closely with the Grails project. We had an exciting time contributing to the Community over Code NA conference in Minneapolis in September. Talks on Groovy, Geb and Grails featured in the Groovy and Incubator tracks. We wish to thank all of the organisers and participants for making the event so worthwhile.
