Note: I’ll try to manually fill the ?? values in the stats as soon as I
find out where to actually get the information or the reporting tool gets
operational again. Also please add any online-talks you did.
## Description:
The mission of the Apache PLC4X project is creating a set of libraries
for
communicating with industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
using a
variety of protocols but with a shared API.
## Issues:
None
## Membership Data:
Apache PLC4X was founded 2019-04-17 (a year ago)
There are currently 16 committers and 10 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is exaclty 8:5.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Lukas Ott was added to the PMC on 2020-03-07
- Etienne Robinet was added as committer on 2020-03-22
- Otto Fowler was added as committer on 2020-04-30
## Project Activity:
- 0.7.0 was released on 2020-05-24
This quarter was pretty much dominated by us porting the last drivers
to the
new generated drivers system. Also were we working hard on preparing
things
for the 0.7.0 release which was our first release of the new generation
of drivers.
Also did Chris start on his EU research funded project on porting PLC4X
to the C
language with a final goal of running PLC4X drivers on Apache MyNewt.
This new initiative brought to the table a number of new contributors.
Otto
who was invited to join the project was one of these.
In general the number of conference talks dropped to 0 in this period
due to
COVID-19, but quite a number of online meetups have been talked about:
* IoTSydney: 2020-04-30
* "Hands On": Reading Siemens S7 with PLC4X" was in German on April
1.,
and english was 9th of April
* (Industrial) IoT with Open Source - an Overview on "Monthly
Industry
4.0 and IoT Meetup Stuttgart" was 21.04
We’re continuing to make good progress on most topics.
As it is one of the projects major barriers, that we usually aren’t
allowed to
officially mention which companies are using PLC4X, we decided to add a
page of “adopters” to our website, where companies can get themselves
listed. We decided that the process should generally work via GitHub
pull
requests as this way we would have the responsibility on file.
https://plc4x.apache.org/users/adopters.html
So far we haven’t had any requests to adding other companies.
## Community Health:
The community is in great shape and due to the increased diversity of
the
codebase we have seen new folks join in on discussions or even joining
the
project. We are hopeful that this trend will continue.
It also seems that in the past few weeks the inter-project cooperation
has
increased. Here I’d especially like to point out the Apache StreamPipes
and
the Apache IoTDB project.
Stats may be different, as at the time of creating the report the

wasn't working so I had to compile them myself
