Hi，AFAIK, Sorry, the latest board report was submitted late. In fact, PMC members have regularly summarized board reports and discussed them on the mailing list，as shown in the figure below: [image: image.png] [image: image.png]
But I’m sorry that these summaries were not sent to the board mailing list after the discussion. This is an oversight of PMC’s work. As one of the PMCs who have been active in the community for a long time, I am responsible for this, and I will help to promote and improve the board report process in the RocketMQ community. In fact, after RocketMQ entered the apache foundation, the diversity and activity of the community have been greatly improved. A large number of new features and new projects have been created. These are all initiated by PMCs, especially in Recently, it can be seen from our community data that the community is moving towards a more active state: [email protected] had a 95% increase in traffic in the past quarter (3333 emails compared to 1703) [email protected] had a 34% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (6 emails compared to 9) 203 commits in the past quarter (75% increase) 73 code contributors in the past quarter (62% increase) 235 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (60% increase) 267 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (164% increase) 276 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (33% increase) 237 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (54% increase) In the coming time, I and other PMCs will actively participate to help more developers become committers and PMCs, and make the RocketMQ community more active.
