August board report draft

[Anthony Baker <ba...@vmware.com.INVALID>]

Here is a draft of the quarterly board report (note that board reports can also be provided off-cycle when needed). Please let me know by EOD Thursday if you have any changes / additions.

Thanks,
Anthony


## Description:
The mission of Apache Geode is the creation and maintenance of software related 
to a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to 
data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.

## Membership Data:
Apache Geode was founded 2016-11-15 (6 years ago)
There are currently 115 committers and 54 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Donal Evans on 2021-03-22.
- No new committers. Last addition was Alberto Bustamante on 2021-05-13.

## Project Activity:
Apache Geode completed the release process for 1.15.0. This release fixed 887
JIRA issues and notably adds support for JDK 17 as well as connection
re-authentication.

## Community Health:
After the 1.15.0 release was complete, we decided to remove the CODEOWNERS 
review requirement as the implementation imposed an onerous burden and
significantly slowed down PR review and merging.

We have seen a significant decline in PR and JIRA activity in July compared 
to prior months/years.
