And, now the RCs of our mainstream branches 4.16.0 and 5.1.0 is up for the voting. Which will support Apache HBase versions 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4. we released phoenix-thirdpary-1.1.0 on 2021-02-01 and, also made the first release of Apache Omid 1.0.2 on 2020-11-23 and Apache Tephra 0.16.0 on 2020-12-03 after their adoption in Phoenix. We are discussing having Phoenix Tech talks/meetup every month to share knowledge and discuss new ideas within the community for improvement and growth. Discussion on dropping the support of EOLs Apache HBase versions (1.3, 1.4, 2.1) in the next release, to reduce efforts on maintenance of multiple compatibility modules and save build/infrastructure time as well. Due to the lack of community support on nurturing Phoenix connectors for PIG and Flume and without exhaustive testing before release, we are considering marking them as unmaintained in the upcoming phoenix release. ## Community Health: Phoenix community continues to remain engaged with multiple releases and code contributions. We had closed more PRs/JIRAs than we opened, our commit activity had also improved, and there were 44% more code contributors than the previous quarter. Our interactions on the user list steadily declining QoQ, though we saw substantial growth in the traffic on issues(+100%) and dev list(+23%) in the last quarter.
