Hi,
find attached a quick draft of the board report we're expected to
submit this
month. It's based upon the report wizard template which can be found
at [1]
Any comments or additions are appreciated ...
<draft>
## Description:
The mission of PDFBox is the creation and maintenance of software
related to
Java library for working with PDF documents

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. Some bugs
were
reported via [email protected] and 2 of them ended up in a CVE. Both
were
solved in 2.0.24.
- CVE-2021-31811: A carefully crafted PDF file can trigger an
OutOfMemory-Exception while loading a tiny file

## Community Health:
- there is a steady stream of contributions, bug reports and questions
on the
mailing lists
- there are a lot of refactorings, improvements and bugfixes
- we are working on the second alpha version of the upcoming new major
release
3.0.0
- we decided to retire the subproject Preflight with 4.0.0 as it is
practically not maintained and the supported features are limited.
VeraPDF
is one good alternative. It has more to offer and is open source.
And by the
way it is based on a PDFBox fork.
