draft ASF Board Report Feb 2020

Hey all,

I've put together our ASF board report for Feb 2020, and while I haven't
yet determined how to actually submit it, I wanted to go ahead and send out
a copy to the dev list in case anyone has any feedback.

---


## Description

Apache Druid is a high performance real-time analytics database. It is
designed for workflows where low-latency query and ingest are the main
requirements. It implements ingestion, storage, and querying subsystems.
Users interface with Druid through built-in SQL and JSON APIs, as well
as third-party applications.

Druid has an extensive web of connections with other Apache projects:
Calcite for SQL planning, Curator and ZooKeeper for coordination, Kafka
and Hadoop as data sources, Avro, ORC, or Parquet as supported data input
formats, and DataSketches for scalable approximate algorithms. Druid
can also be used as a data source by Superset.

## Issues

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity

We have done our first post-graduation release, Druid 0.17.0, containing
over 250 new features, performance enhancements, bug fixes, and major
documentation improvements from 52 contributors. Major improvements
include improved native batch indexing, performance improvements, LDAP
support, improved complaince with SQL standards, and much more. Work
on the upcoming 0.18.0 release is underway and on track for a likely
end of March release date.

Community activity continues to be strong, with a healthy rate of commits,
issues filed on github, user mailing list posts, and ever increasing
activity in our ASF Slack channel #druid, which now has over 600 members.

Keeping boots on the ground to improve adoption, over the last month we
have had Druid meetups in New Dehli, London, Athens, and Tel Aviv, with
an addtional meetup in Sydney scheduled in March. Planning for the
Druid Summit event is progressing with over 80 proposed talks currently
being evaluated, and half of the 40 scheduled speaking slots filled with
a diverse set of both PMC members and passionate users. The event will
take place April 13 - 15 in the San Francisco Bay Area.

## Recent PMC changes

 - Currently 27 PMC members.
 - No recent changes to PMC.

## Recent committer changes

 - Currently 35 committers.
 - New commmitters since last board report (Jan 15 2019):
    - Chi Cao Minh (Jan 21 2020)

## Recent releases

 - 0.17.0, our first release post graduation was released on Jan 26 2020

## Development activity by the numbers

In the last month:

 - 79 pull requests opened
 - 78 pull requests merged/closed
 - 55 issues opened
 - 25 issues closed

 - 231 comments on issues

Thanks for taking a look, Julian. I added this to the agenda via Whimsy
Friday and fixed the spelling error.

Looks good.

Maybe mention that we are working with Sally on a press release to announce graduation?

Spelling: New Dehli should be New Delhi.

The way to submit reports is via Whimsy [1]. That function may only be available to ASF members & officers; if so Gian, as an officer, will be able to do it.
