NiFi Community, Thank you all for another strong quarter!
## Description: The mission of NiFi is the creation and maintenance of software related to providing 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. ## Membership Data: Apache NiFi was founded 2015-07-14 (7 years ago) There are currently 61 committers and 35 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was David Handermann on 2021-09-15. - Ádám Markovics was added as committer on 2022-03-23 - Paul Grey was added as committer on 2022-03-16 ## Project Activity: NiFi 1.16.0 was released on April 4th 2022. This release includes more than 400 JIRAs including features, improvements, bug fixes, and security related items. This release provides for the progression of NiFi, MiNiFi Java, Stateless NiFi, the NiFi registry, and the associated toolkits to ease deployment and management thereof. We are already well underway toward a 1.16.1 stability release with more than 37 JIRAs landed to update dependencies, fix bugs/regressions, and respond to the complex security environment such as the recent 'Springshell' finding. Even though we often find we aren't exposing vulnerabilities we find increasingly users want such dependencies removed/updated rapidly these days and we're trying to accomodate where reasonable. ## Community Health: The community health remains quite strong. We've added committers and have reasonable pipeline for PMC. We continue to see strong mailing list activity. The users email list is less active though we see that well offset with continued growth and activity in our Slack channels. Our general channel has 2042 users as of the time of this writing. We have a new contributor that has also started to express interest and make progress on revamping the Apache NiFi website which could definitely use a reboot and move us to preferred Apache infrastructure/processes. We also see strong growth in JIRAs and PRs both opened and closed this quarter landing more than 330 commits!
