[BOARD REPORT] Gump Q1 2020

[Stefan Bodewig <bo...@apache.org>]

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

The Tomcat community seems to be the only one still using Gump actively. With
a new branch of Tomcat getting built the average build time of a full run has
gone beyond nine hours so that the number of runs has been reduced to two
runs per day.

# 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.
