September 2016 Board Report
This is due pretty soon. I may be able to get to it tonight or tomorrow,
unless someone else can get to it before me.
Just spamming the list so it doesn't get forgotten.
Thanks!

Yeah, my "summer lull" comment was mainly targeting the dev list since user
stayed pretty much the same. I'm indifferent about including or omitting
it.
Thanks,
mrg

Oh, and you may as well drop the mailing list statistics as the board
doesn't want them unless they are being used to illustrate a
particular point. But maybe that's what you meant by summer lull, in
which case you can disregard both of my comments :)

Looks pretty good to me. Although I'm not really sure there was a
lull. At least I didn't notice any lull in cayenne activity.

Here is the mail thread I kicked off which led to Stefan generously giving us that PR. It has some useful info in the thread:

Agreed. This will need more attention. This PR doesn't even merge well yet.

Yes, let's do that, and maybe open a separate Jira to finish Types Mapping feature and the docs.

If you cannot do it this week, I will be able to do it next week. Also, it
would be nice to merge Stefan's pull-request [1] and add docker maven
profiles for other databases.

It looks promising for more frequent releases. Do you have suggestions?
BTW, as we discussed privately with Andrus, there are some improvements
that we want to include in M4. Perhaps, we should move [2] to the next
release and remove Types Mapping section from the Reverse Engineering
documentation [3] as it works unstable.

Huge +1. I am living in a world of Cayenne snapshots [1] and internal builds [2] (almost continuos deployment.. very modern thing to do :)). But I'd very much love to go back to official milestones. How about we prepare M4 this week? Will there be volunteers to take a release manager role? If not, I will do it.

I don't think the board cares either way about our summer lull... :-)
it does highlight that we should release milestones more often. Perhaps we should discuss moving to a more lightweight milestone release process that doesn't include quite as many checks as a full release. Then we could do it every 2-3 months.

Re: September 2016 Board Report
Posted by Michael Gentry <bl...@gmail.com>.
Any feedback on the following? Needs to be submitted tomorrow (9/14).
Thanks!
mrg
## Description:
Apache Cayenne is a Java persistence framework. It takes a distinct
approach to object persistence and provides an ORM runtime, remote
persistence services, and a GUI mapping/modeling tool.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
There were no releases on the stable (3.1) or alpha (4.0) branches this
past reporting period. Most effort was directed to 4.0 development
(expecially Remote Object Persistence - ROP) and bug fixes, environmental
updates (such as fixing build failures), and mailing list support.
## Health report:
Cayenne is still under active development and mailing list activity
indicates we have an active and stable community, although with a
summer vacation lull.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 8 PMC members.
- No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
- Last PMC addition was Savva Kolbachev on Tue Apr 12 2016
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 20 committers.
- No new committers added in the last 3 months
- Last committer addition was Savva Kolbachev at Mon Jan 19 2015
## Releases:
- Last stable release was 3.1.1 on Mon May 16 2016
- Last milestone release was 4.0.M3 on Fri February 12 2016
## Mailing list activity:
Mailing list activity was lower than normal for development, likely due to
summer vacations and other scheduling demands. Activity on the user list
was near normal.
- dev@cayenne.apache.org:
- 124 subscribers (up 1 in the last 3 months):
- 44 emails sent to list (120 in previous quarter)
- user@cayenne.apache.org:
- 247 subscribers (up 4 in the last 3 months):
- 172 emails sent to list (185 in previous quarter)
## JIRA activity:
- 21 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 17 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
