I mulled over whether it's appropriate to ask within this context. I
guess I'll ask. Slap me if I have badly chosen, but where is NiFi
respective to "modern" JDK versions? Is that too much detail for the
audience of this periodic report?
Thanks.

Team,
I was running late so submitted the report already. Here is what I sent to
the board for Apache NiFi July 2019 report. Great work and great progress
all!
## 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.
- Apache NiFi Flow Design System is a theme-able set of high quality UI
components and utilities for use across the various Apache NiFi web
applications in order to provide a more consistent user experience.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- Released Apache NiFi Registry 0.4.0 which allows storage of extensions
which
is a critical step towards us breaking apart the monolithic release of
today
resulting in smaller binaries in Apache infra a mirrors and will also
bring
a better user experience for updating live running NiFi clusters and
operations in container based environments.
- The community is working the release preparation and voting process for
Apache NiFi MiNiFi CPP 0.6.1.
- Apache NiFi 0.10.0 is progressing nicely with nearly 200 JIRAs already
included. This brings powerful features such as sourcing extensions from
the latest NiFi Registry at runtime, far better model for paramaterized
version controlled flows, Java 11 compatibility, and much more.
## Health report:
- Health of the community remains strong with many active release lines,
feature development, active user and developer base including new
participants and continued participants.
- We see considerable commentary on Apache NiFi in the form of meetups,
conferences, training, and talks including from folks at Google, Cloudera
and others. A recent tweet from a Ford Motor Company employee says it
best
"Love, love, love @apachenifi Using MiNiFi opens up IOT innovation in
amazing ways. Every IOT device manufacturer, including automotive,
should consider opening up API's to let developers do their thing!
Bringing value to your product! "
