Apache Gump is a cross-project continuous integration server. Gump's
intention isn't so much to be a CI server but rather a vehicle that
makes people look beyond their project's boundaries and helps the
projects to collaborate.

Gump is written in Python and supports several build tools and version
control systems. The Apache installation of Gump builds ASF as well as
non-ASF projects and their dependencies. It started in the Java part of
the foundation but also builds projects like APR, HTTPd and OpenSSL.

## Summary

We are moving to a new VM. Apart from that, nothing has changed over the
past three months and we honestly do not anticipate changes in the
foreseeable future.

The Tomcat community is the only one still using Gump actively and the
only activity in Gump is around keeping the infrastructure alive and
tweaking things for the benefit of Tomcat builds.

We will certainly support any other project that wants to get the
benefit of the early warning system for backwards incompatible changes
Gump provides, but we are not actively recruiting projects.

## Activity

We're moving over to a new VM which wasn't as easy as we had hoped
because it involved migrating from Python 2 to Python 3 (Gump itself is
written in Python). Many thanks to Adam Jack and Mark Thomas for
carrying the burden of the migration.

## Releases

Gump has never done any releases. One reason for this is that the ASF
installations of Gump work on the latest code base almost all of the
time following its "integrate everything continuously" philosophy.

## Changes to the Roster

All ASF committers have write access to the metadata that configure the
ASF installations.

The last changes to the PMC have seen Konstantin Kolinko and Mark Thomas
join in November 2014.

Brett Porter has left the PMC in December 2019.
