Apache Groovy Board Report [DRAFT]

Any feedback before I send this in?

Thanks, Paul.

------------------

## Description:
Apache Groovy is responsible for the evolution and maintenance of the
Groovy
programming language. Groovy is a multi-faceted JVM programming language.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

Wrt the Maven Coordinate namespace: we are planning to move to
org.apache.groovy for Groovy 4 with alphas expected soon.

## Membership Data:
Apache Groovy was founded 2015-11-18 (4 years ago)
There are currently 17 committers and 10 PMC members in this project.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Daniel Sun on 2019-05-06.
- No new committers. Last addition was Remko Popma on 2018-07-07.
A new committer has been invited and has accepted but the ICLA is
still pending. We anticipate including this in our next report.

## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
2.5.8 was released on Wed Aug 07 2019
3.0.0-beta-2 was released on Mon Jul 08 2019
3.0.0-beta-3 was released on Wed Aug 07 2019

This quarter, 327 commits were contributed from 9 contributors
including 5 non-committer contributors (1 new).

## Community Health:
We recently did an assessment of health across commits,
contributors, issues resolved, releases and downloads
over the last 15 years including approx 4 yrs with Apache.
Commits and issues resolved have remained steady for most
of the life of the project. Releases dropped in 2016 while
we were becoming accustomed to the Apache Way but is now
inline with pre-Apache cadence. Number of contributors has
increased since joining Apache. Downloads have always
increased and continue to do so. Groovy artifacts have been
downloaded more than a quarter of a billion times since its inception.

According to the TIOBE index for this month, Apache Groovy
is the 3rd most popular programming language putting it ahead of:
Go (17), Swift (18), Perl (19), R (20), Scala (36) and Kotlin (45).

Yes, as I mentioned in the report his iCLA is still pending. I presume that
is why it hasn't shown up in the committer stats from the board report
wizard.

Cheers, Paul.

Okay, obviously that should have said 13th not 3rd for TIOBE. I've fixed
already but other comments welcome.
