November board report

[Ross Gardler <Ro...@microsoft.com>]

I submitted the following report, let me know if you want me to make any changes.

## Description:
  Whimsy is a site where a set of absolutely unnecessary yet often quite
  handy applications are deployed.

## Summary

After a few false starts the infrastructure for Whimsy is now mostly set-up.
Though SVN is still an issue - see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10399. This has resulted in a
proposal to use bidirectional flows to GitHub as the canonical repository. See
Discussion Item B.

## Issues:
See Discussion Item B

## Activity:
The project is still mostly the work of a single committer (thanks Sam),
though there is adequate oversight from the PMC.

## PMC changes:

- Currently 9 PMC members.
- Last PMC addition was Sebastian Bazley on Sun Nov 16 2015

## Committer base changes:

- Currently 9 committers.
- Last addition: Sebastian Bazley on Sun Nov 16 2015

## Releases:

No formal release. Project is deployed internally to Apache hardware.

## Mailing list activity:

- dev@whimsical.apache.org:
   - 13 subscribers (up 2 in the last 3 months):
   - 207 emails sent to list (27 in previous quarter)


## JIRA activity:

- 28 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 10 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

I made substantial edits to the report based on feedback before and during the meeting.

Please let me know (before the next board meeting) if I’ve got anything wrong.

Thanks
