[DRAFT] Apache Arrow ASF Board Report July 2019
## Description:
Apache Arrow is a cross-language development platform for in-memory
data. It specifies a standardized language-independent columnar memory
format for flat and hierarchical data, organized for efficient
analytic operations on modern hardware. It also provides computational
libraries and zero-copy streaming messaging and interprocess
communication. Languages currently supported include C, C++, C#, Go,
Java, JavaScript, MATLAB, Python, R, Ruby, and Rust.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- The community is discussing a 1.0.0 release featuring
forward-looking binary format stability guarantees. Given the
nature of the project, this is obviously an important milestone
for adoption and user support
- Since the last report, a new Buildbot-based CI system has been
connected to apache/arrow to provide additional build capacity, with
a bot system called "ursabot" to provide on demand builds, benchmark
comparisons, and other tools to assist the developer community
## Health report:
- We have been having significant problems with CI build times and are
discussing strategies to decouple our de velopment process from the
shared pool of ASF-managed cloud CI resources like Travis CI and
Appveyor
- The community is healthy, though there were some concerns
around the 0.14.0 release vote and we are discussing
conventions around handling issues raised during release
candidate vetting.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 26 PMC members.
- No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
- Last PMC addition was Andrew Grove on Sun Feb 03 2019
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 43 committers.
- New commmitters:
- Francois Saint-Jacques was added as a committer on Wed Jun 12 2019
- Neville Dipale was added as a committer on Mon May 13 2019
- Praveen Kumar has also been invited to be a committer an accepted,
but has not been added to the roster in whimsy yet
## Releases:
- 0.14.0 was released on Wed Jul 03 2019
## JIRA activity:
- 735 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 690 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Looks good to me. Thanks for pulling together.
