[DRAFT] Apache Commons Board Report for June 2017

Any and all feedback is welcome. I would like to send the report in 24
hours.

## Description:

- The Apache Commons project focuses on all aspects of reusable Java
components.

- The Apache Commons components are widely used in many projects, both
within
Apache and without. Any ASF committer can commit to Apache Commons.

- The last report was on April 4, 2016.

## Issues:
 - There are no issues that requires the board's attention this quarter.

## Activity:
 - The project is active with four (4) releases this reporting period.

 - We are working on a new component: Apache Commons Numbers,
   providing implementations of extended number types such as complex,
   quaternion, and fraction.

## Health report:
 - Most components in Commons are mature, but are still actively maintained
   (4 releases). The dev list is active. JIRA is active. Speed of responses
   to users is reasonable in most cases. We have no new PMC member, and
   Commons is still open to any Apache Committer.
 - Some of the energy spent toward Commons Math 4 is being redirected on
   building a new component out of Commons Math: Apache Commons Number.

## PMC changes:

 - Currently 36 PMC members.
 - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
 - Last PMC addition was Bruno P. Kinoshita on Wed Oct 26 2016

## Committer base changes:

 - Currently 144 committers.
 - No new committers added in the last 3 months
 - Last committer addition was Bernd Porr at Tue Jan 31 2017

## Releases:

 - Apache Commons Compress 1.14 was released on Sat May 13 2017
 - Apache Commons JEXL 3.1 was released on Thu Apr 13 2017
 - Apache Commons Lang 3.6 was released on Wed Jun 07 2017
 - Apache Commons Text 1.1 was released on Mon May 22 2017

## JIRA activity:

 - 199 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
 - 179 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

On behalf of the Apache Commons community

Another thing I'll mention:

- We are starting to add testing with IBM Java 8 to Travis-CI builds.

I think mentioning Git migrations is nice. I'll add that. Thank you.

Also doing the Fileupload release now, so we may as well include that in the releases?

Thank you for preparing this report. I have two things which might be worth adding to the report:

- CLI and Fileupload have been migrated to git. Not sure this really has to be in the report
- It looks like Java 9 will be a challenge for us, but Stephen Colebourne is providing valuable input.

Regards,
Benedikt
