Draft Board Report

[Patricia Shanahan <pa...@acm.org>]

## Description:

  - Apache River software provides a standards-compliant JINI service.

## Issues:

  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

  - Wrapped up River-3.0.0, released this quarter.
  - Continued discussion of River's future direction.

## Health report:

  - The ongoing future directions discussion has progressed from high 
level strategy to discussion of specific features and use-cases.

  - Two PMC members resigned during the quarter, a concern because at 
this point there is no stream of incoming developers to provide new 
committers and PMC members. Attracting new developers will be difficult 
until the future direction is firmed up and made visible.

## PMC changes:

  - Currently 11 PMC members.
  - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
  - Last PMC addition was Bryan Thompson on Sun Aug 30 2015
  - Two PMC members resigned (went emeritus) during the quarter, Simon 
IJskes (2016-10-23), and Tom Hobbs (2016-08-19)

## Committer base changes:

  - Currently 15 committers.
  - No new committers added in the last 3 months
  - Last committer addition was Dan Creswell at Mon Jun 20 2016

## Releases:

  - River-3.0.0 was released on Wed Oct 05 2016

## Mailing list activity:

  - The increased activity level in the dev@ mailing list is due to the 
combination of completing a release and the future direction discussion.

  - dev@river.apache.org:
     - 94 subscribers (up 0 in the last 3 months):
     - 128 emails sent to list (74 in previous quarter)

  - user@river.apache.org:
     - 95 subscribers (down -2 in the last 3 months):
     - 3 emails sent to list (3 in previous quarter)


## JIRA activity:

  - 1 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
