Last release: 0.9.2, Release Date: Nov 7, 2014
[UPDATE] [REPORT] Apache Thrift - April 2019
Posted by Jens Geyer <je...@apache.org>.
## Description:
- Apache Thrift is a high performance cross platform RPC and serialization
solution.
## Issues:
- there are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- Since our last 0.12.0 release Apache Thrift a number of bugs have been
adressed and certain improvements have been implemented in various areas.
- Version 0.9.3.1 based on 0.9.3 has been released to port the security
fixes
for CVE-2018-1320 into that branch. Due to an oversight the 0.9.3.1 was
prematurely released to Maven Central prior to a vote. Corrective action
was taken to properly vote on 0.9.3.1, and that vote passed.
- A vote for another release 0.12.1 did not pass because the necessary
number
of votes was too low. As a result, we are planning for 0.13.0 as the next
regular release
## Health report:
- The project code is healthy and fairly mature
- Main issue is the ratio between the numbers of active vs. silent
committers
and PMC members. With respect to the relatively complex code base
consisting of 20+ supported target languages, there is room for
improvement.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 17 PMC members.
- No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
- Last PMC addition was James E. King III on Fri Nov 03 2017
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 33 committers.
- No new committers added in the last 3 months
- Last committer addition was Allen George at Mon Mar 19 2018
## Releases:
- 0.9.3.1 was released on Wed Mar 13 2019
## Mailing list activity:
- Mailing list activity is good, user inquiries are mostly answered very
quickly, the rest was answered in a timely manner.
- dev@thrift.apache.org:
- 258 subscribers (down -3 in the last 3 months):
- 1839 emails sent to list (600 in previous quarter)
- user@thrift.apache.org:
- 674 subscribers (down -9 in the last 3 months):
- 41 emails sent to list (17 in previous quarter)
## JIRA activity:
- 129 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 248 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 month

Hi Thrift Devs,
I'm not sure if you've already sent this report off to the board, but
I had a few comments for consideration.
It is probably worth a brief mention that 0.9.3.1 was prematurely
released to Maven Central prior to a vote, but corrective action was
taken to vote on 0.9.3.1, and that vote passed. The fact that the
community came together to take corrective action on a prior oversight
is a positive thing worth mentioning, and I think the board would be
interested in that.
Also, I suspect the board will be concerned that the last committer
was voted in over a year ago, and that the last PMC member was voted
in back in 2017. The Thrift PMC may wish to lower its standards a bit,
and actively take steps to invite new committers/PMC members more
regularly.
One way you can ensure a better voting base is to invite existing
committers to become PMC members, so they have binding votes for
releases. You could also adopt, as some other projects have done, the
idea that Committer == PMC (at least, an invitation to be a committer
could also coincide with an invitation to become a PMC member).
Another way you can grow the community is to actively take time out to
nominate folks. For example, the board report being due can also serve
as a reminder to think back and discuss potential new committers/PMC
members on your private list. It can be hard to remember to do this
regularly, and the regular board reports can serve as a helpful
reminder to consciously think about the value contributed by various
folks over the last few months.
