Team,
It's that time again to submit our board report for Apache NiFi.
Please see below draft. If you have any suggestions/fixes, edits
please advise.
I'll submit the report in a few days.
Thanks
Joe

## Description:
- Apache NiFi is an easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to
process and distribute data.
- Apache NiFi MiNiFi is an edge data collection agent built to seamlessly
integrate with and leverage the command and control of NiFi. There are
both Java and C++ implementations.
- Apache NiFi Registry is a centralized registry for key configuration items
including flow versions, assets, and extensions for Apache NiFi
and Apache MiNiFi.
- Apache NiFi Nar Maven Plugin is a release artifact used for supporting
the NiFi classloader isolation model.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- Based on board feedback in last report the descriptions above have been
simplified to avoid confusing child/subproject terminology. We have
successfully conducted and completed name searches for the MiNiFi and
Registry efforts.
- Conducted numerous releases as listed below. The 0.7.x releases focused
on providing simple bug fixes and resolving reported CVEs. The 1.x
releases brought about stability, performance improvements, and addressed
reported CVEs. Further, in the 1.x releases numerous substantive features
were introduced including the ability to run multiple versions of the same
components and support for both format and schema aware record processors
to easily handle cases like acquisition, SQL based routing, enrichment,
conversion, and delivery of record oriented data. These make many common
record oriented use cases far more performant, intuitive, and retain the
full power of NiFi's provenance features.
## Health report:
- Health of the community is strong and indicators of strength continue
trending in the right direction. Mailing list and JIRA activity is strong.

JIRA systems. We continue to see new users and contributors. The PMC and

stepping up often. The team handles security reports swiftly and follows
ASF security team published processes effectively.
