Hi everyone, Here's a draft board report for this quarter. If you have anything you'd like to add, please reply!
rb ## Description: - Avro is a cross-language data serialization system. ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: - 1.8.2 release is close to a release candidate. - Added a single-message format and API for systems like Kafka. ## Health report: - Last report stated, "Avro is healthier than last [quarter]". This is because the community was talking about setting up a regular release schedule and there was interest in regularly getting contributor work into releases. This is an important step becuase contributors won't submit patches to a project if they are never available to use. - The release planned for August has been delayed by build issues, but is nearly through blockers and is expected this quarter. - Contributor engagement is still a goal we are working on. Many committers do not have time to review patches. ## PMC changes: - Currently 16 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Sean Busbey on Sun Feb 14 2016 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 23 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Matthieu Monsch at Mon Jan 18 2016 ## Releases: - 1.8.1 was released on Fri May 20 2016 ## Mailing list activity: - dev@avro.apache.org: - 279 subscribers (up 8 in the last 3 months): - 757 emails sent to list (660 in previous quarter) - u...@avro.apache.org: - 631 subscribers (up 9 in the last 3 months): - 45 emails sent to list (39 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 51 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 35 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months -- Ryan Blue Software Engineer Netflix
