Draft report
This is a draft for the May 2016 board report.
======================================================================
## Description:
- Apache River software provides a standards-compliant JINI service.
## Issues:
- As discussed under "Health report", the project does have issues to
deal with, but it also has a functioning PMC to deal with them.
## Activity:
- The main activity is preparing for the next release, currently
renamed 2.3.0
## Health report:
- One of the active PMC members has resigned (moved to emeritus list).
Given the small size of the active core, this is a significant blow,
triggering discussion of the state and future of the project.
- The project has technical issues, including age of code, lack of
support for use in languages other than Java, lack of support for
Android, and dependence on Java serialization.
- Possibly as a result of the technical issues, there may be a
tapering off of interest in the project, making it hard to attract new
committers and PMC members.
- Future paths that will be considered by the PMC include carrying on
as-is, making radical changes possibly in the direction of IoT, or going
to the attic. We intend to complete at least one more release first.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 13 PMC members.
- No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
- Greg Trasuk resigned
- Last PMC addition was Bryan Thompson on Sun Aug 30 2015
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 13 committers.
- No new committers added in the last 3 months
- Last committer addition was Bryan Thompson at Mon Aug 31 2015
## Releases:
- river-jtsk-2.2.3 was released on Sat Feb 20 2016
