Hi folks! Quick review period this time, I'm a bit late on getting this in.
---- Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and release processes for software projects. ISSUES FOR THE BOARD'S ATTENTION Last report we were asked if we had approached VP Legal about our licensing issue (we had a contribution we had to ultimately reject because of a hard dependency on a GPL project). We never did approach VP Legal because the planned new component was not an internal build tool to our project but something intended to be used by downstream users of our project. While our most visible downstream users are currently other ASF projects, our goal remains the wider public good so the foundation rules around dependency licenses should apply normally. RELEASES None since last report. Last release was version 0.3.0 on May 22nd 2016. The community is currently working through a 0.4.0 release. ACTIVITY Ajay Yadava was added to the PMC during this period (Dec 1st). Andrew Wang and Ajay Yadava were added as committers during this period (Sep 20th). The community had a noticeable plunge in both overall activity and apparent reviewer bandwidth during this report period. This has been most apparent in our protracted effort to complete the 0.4.0 release. The PMC has previously discussed our need to accelerate responsibilities for new contributors, but the topic needs to be reviewed again. Additionally, I'm looking to rotate the PMC chair but none of the other PMC members have sufficient time to step in. I've agreed to try to keep finding the time through our March report. I presume the lack of folks who think they have the extra hour or two per quarter means our community needs to get aggressive on PMC recruitment in addition to our need to expand the committer list. STATS - Currently 8 PMC members - Currently 10 committers - dev list has 41 subscribers (flat from previous period) - 17 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 7 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
