Hi all, thanks for the project update notes. Below is the report I submitted to the board. Please let me know of any errors or missing parts.
thanks, bryan ## 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. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing, with moderate activity Issues for the board: none ## Membership Data: Apache DB was founded 2002-07-16 (21 years ago) There are currently 48 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 Tobias Bouschen on 2023-08-27. - No new committers. Last addition was Max Philipp Wriedt on 2023-04-14. ## Project Activity: The JDO project have a number of code improvements currently active. We are investigating use of automated release artifact signing to streamline release preparation. We have updated our automatic CI build to test with JDK 21 while maintaining compatibility with JDK 8 target (still seems to be the most popular deployment). JDO is also working on improving performance of TCK tests by taking advantage of new features in JUnit 5 that allow for parallel execution of test cases where no changes to the datastore are made. This includes most query tests. JDO also continues to work on code quality issues reported by SonarCloud. In the Torque community there was some code activity to fix time duration handling (resolving JIRA issue TORQUE-362) and to remedy build failures (in Jenkins job). The Derby community achieved two milestones in this quarter: - The Derby 10.17.1 release. Derby 10.17.1.0 has been built and tested on the Java SE 21 platform, and will run only on Java SE 21 and newer Java platforms. Derby 10.17.1.0 cannot be used with older Java platforms. - Derby 10.17.1.0 fixes a flaw in Derby's LDAP authentication logic (CVE-2022-46337). DB team thanks Arnout and the security@ team for all their help with the resolution of CVE-2022-46337. ## Community Health: DB project health was good in this quarter. All the project communities were active and working toward achieving development milestones for their communities. A new release was made. It was all nice to see! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: torque-dev-unsubscr...@db.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: torque-dev-h...@db.apache.org
