This is a draft for the May 2016 board report.

======================================================================

## Description:
 - Apache River software provides a standards-compliant JINI service.

## Issues:
 - As discussed under "Health report", the project does have issues to
deal with, but it also has a functioning PMC to deal with them.

## Activity:
 - The main activity is preparing for the next release, currently
renamed 2.3.0

## Health report:
 - One of the active PMC members has resigned (moved to emeritus list).
Given the small size of the active core, this is a significant blow,
triggering discussion of the state and future of the project.

 - The project has technical issues, including age of code, lack of
support for use in languages other than Java, lack of support for
Android, and dependence on Java serialization.

 - Possibly as a result of the technical issues, there may be a tapering
off of interest in the project, making it hard to attract new committers
and PMC members.

 - Future paths that will be considered by the PMC include carrying on
as-is, making radical changes possibly in the direction of IoT, or going
to the attic. We intend to complete at least one more release first.

## PMC changes:
 - Currently 13 PMC members.
 - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
 - Greg Trasuk resigned
 - Last PMC addition was Bryan Thompson on Sun Aug 30 2015

## Committer base changes:

 - Currently 13 committers.
 - No new committers added in the last 3 months
 - Last committer addition was Bryan Thompson at Mon Aug 31 2015

## Releases:

 - river-jtsk-2.2.3 was released on Sat Feb 20 2016
