Thanks, here is an updated draft. Any other changes? ## 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++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and Rust. ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time ## Activity: - We have not released since March as we work to improve our release and build automation. We plan to include binary artifacts in our next release vote, where we have only had source artifacts in past releases. - We received a code donation of a Ruby interface via the usual IP Clearance process - There is a new Arrow + LLVM analytics project (Gandiva) happening outside of the Arrow community. We discussed incorporating this work into Apache Arrow but have not made any decisions yet ## Health report: The project's user and contributor base is growing rapidly. We are struggling a bit with maintainer bandwidth. As an example, 2 committers have merged 84% of patches (where there have been nearly 2000) since the project's inception. We are discussing ways to grow the maintainer base on the mailing list. ## PMC changes: - Currently 23 PMC members. - Siddharth Teotia was added to the PMC on Thu May 17 2018 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 31 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Antoine Pitrou at Tue Apr 03 2018 ## Releases: - Last release was 0.9.0 on Mon Mar 19 2018 ## JIRA activity: - 392 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 303 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months On Sat, Jul 7, 2018 at 6:53 AM, Uwe L.
