March 2020 board report
Hi,
please find the board report below. Comments welcome.
## Description:
Apache Felix is a project aimed at implementing specifications from the OSGi
Alliance as well as implementing other supporting tools and technologies
aligned with OSGi technology.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Felix was founded 2007-03-28 (13 years ago)
There are currently 68 committers and 27 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:4.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Georg Henzler on 2019-06-10.
- Stefan Bischof was added as committer on 2020-03-02
## Project Activity:
- Existing implementations have been improved/enhanced based on community
feedback.
- We did migrate from svn to git(box) and started reorganising around git
repositories (including a rework of our website to reflect the changes).
- We are discussing breaking out some of our bigger subproject into additional
git repositories.
- We accepted and integrated the "Atomos" contribution by Thomas Watson and
attracted a new committer in the process (Stefan Bischof).
- Released 3 components (mostly bug fixes overall).
## Releases:
- org.apache.felix.configadmin.plugin.interpolation-1.1.0 was released on
2020-03-02.
- maven-scr-plugin-1.26.2 was released on 2019-12-07.
- org.apache.felix.scr.bnd-1.9.6 was released on 2019-12-07.
- org.apache.felix.scr.bnd-1.9.4 was released on 2019-12-07.
## Community Health:
- Overall the project is in ok health.
- Questions on the user list are answered, development concerns are either
discussed on the mailing list or directly in the JIRA issues.
- The project as well as the OSGi community in general is still in the process
of adapting to JPMS and Graal/substrate - however, we hope that Atomos and
the new OSGi Connect RFC will help in that area.
- We need to be on the lookout for new committers. Atomos and the move to github
hopefully will help in attracting more people.
- We had no issues voting on releases and JIRA issues are generally addressed.
- dev@felix.apache.org had a 30% decrease in traffic in the past quarter
(292 emails compared to 415)
- users@felix.apache.org had a 166% increase in traffic in the past quarter
(8 emails compared to 3)
- 30 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (11% increase)
- 24 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (33% increase)
- 19 commits in the past quarter (-47% decrease)
- 4 code contributors in the past quarter (-42% decrease)
- 9 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-30% decrease)
- 14 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (133% increase)

Hi JB,
thanks, good point. A big part of the decrease is just a symptom of us
not doing as many releases this quarter. I added a point for that
saying:
"We had relatively (for us) few releases this quarter. At least in parts, that
accounts for some of the decrease in traffic on the dev list."
regards,
Karl

Hi Karl,
The report looks good to me. I bet the board will ask some explanations about numbers (mailing list activity, …).
