## Community Health:

It has been a relatively quiet quarter and the queue of waiting PR's
has built up. We need to spend more time working through the queue
and create some new committers to help.

- dev@orc.apache.org had a 22% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
  (56 emails compared to 71)
- user@orc.apache.org had a 200% increase in traffic in the past quarter
  (15 emails compared to 5)
- 30 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (no change)
- 22 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (no change)
- 55 commits in the past quarter (-34% decrease)
- 14 code contributors in the past quarter (7% increase)
- 34 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (6% increase)
- 29 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (3% increase)

On a personal note, I left Cloudera in early February, took some time
off, and started at LinkedIn in mid-March. I think with more experience
with the ORC code available, it will encourage additional contribution
from LinkedIn.
