## Description:
The mission of the Apache DB project is to create and maintain
commercial-quality, open-source, database solutions based on software licensed
to the Foundation, for distribution at no charge to the public.
The Apache DB TLP consists of the following subprojects:
o Derby : a relational database implemented entirely in Java.
o JDO : focused on building the API and the TCK for compatibility
testing of Java Data Object implementations providing data
persistence.
o Torque : an object-relational mapper for Java.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache DB was founded 2002-07-16 (19 years ago)
There are currently 47 committers and 45 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Georg Kallidis on 2020-08-26.
- No new committers. Last addition was Tobias Bouschen on 2021-01-19.
## Project Activity:
JDO project is getting ready to finalize 3.2. All issues
scheduled for 3.2 have been resolved. Working to finalize
the specification.
Derby project has been continuing to test with Java 17 early
access releases.
## Community Health:
This has been a very quiet quarter for Apache DB. Yet steady
activity continues in all the DB projects: users ask questions
and discuss the software; problems are addressed by contributors
and commits are made; contributions and suggestions continue
to arrive from the community.
The project overall seems quiet but stable.
