[REPORT] Apache Thrift - July 2017

[Jake Farrell <jf...@apache.org>]

 Apache Thrift is a framework for providing cross-platform RPC and
serialization.

Project Status
---------
The Apache Thrift community continues to see consistent growth with
submissions
from new contributors for bug fixes and client library improvements. There
have
been a number of stability and performance enhancements to our Go, Node and
Python client libraries and we have just cut the 0.11.0 branch [1] and are
beginning testing in preparation for our 0.11.0 release candidate.

A code audit is also starting to take place to ensure that Apache Thrift is
compliant with the recent category-x licensing changes [2] that occurred
due to
the Facebook BSD+patents license changes.
