This is the board report I submitted for this quarter: ## Description: Apache Xalan exists to promote the use of XSLT. We view XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) as a compelling paradigm that transforms XML documents, thereby facilitating the exchange, transformation, and presentation of knowledge. The ability to transform XML documents into usable information has great potential to improve the functionality and use of information systems. We intend to build freely available XSLT processing components in order to engender such improvements.
## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Xalan was founded 2004-09-30 (18 years ago) There are currently 57 committers and 5 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Bill Blough on 2019-02-19. - No new committers. Last addition was Bill Blough on 2019-03-20. ## Project Activity: The Apache Xalan team has had a welcome burst of activity to release Xalan-Java 2.7.3 to address a security issue, this will be done by picking the latest Apache Commons BCEL release. This is welcome activity indeed as we had been considering Xalan-Java to the attic. This move might still happen in the future as the component is woefully being in terms of standard support of newer XSLT versions. The Xalan-C side of the house is quiet. ## Community Health: The health of the project had been poor until the recent bout of activity mentioned under "Project Activity". Almost all metrics are up due to the imminent release of Xalan-Java 2.7.3.
