Thank you for your comments Enrico, I've made the changes as you suggested. I have tried to tell the story behind the metrics, tried to include the work being done and the work that was done in the past quarter. Please find below the updated report, let me know what you think.
----------------------------------------------------- ## Description: BookKeeper is a scalable, fault-tolerant, and low-latency storage service optimized for append-only workloads. It has been used as a fundamental service to build high available and replicated services in companies like Twitter, Yahoo and Salesforce. It is also the log segment store for Apache DistributedLog and message store for Apache Pulsar. Apache DistributedLog is a high-level API and service layer for Apache BookKeeper, providing easier access to the BookKeeper primitives. It is a subproject of Apache BookKeeper. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache BookKeeper was founded 2014-11-19 (5 years ago) There are currently 23 committers and 16 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. - Rajan Dhabalia was added as committer on 2020-03-23 ## Project Activity: Recently, we've seen lots of activity from upstream consumers such as Apache Pulsar. Companies such as Salesforce and Diennea contributing back to the community. We are also seeing a new interest from users at Dell EMC contributing back and starting conversations. Several bugs (issues) were opened and fixed from these upstream consumers which will be going into our next release. Some of the important features being worked on/recently merged are: - Bookkeeper Proposal - 38: Publish Bookie Service Info on Metadata Service - Bookkeeper Proposal - 40: Audit Logging for Apache Bookkeeper - Migrated Project CI from Jenkins to Github Actions on 2020-01-22. Releases - 4.10.0 was released on 2019-11-06. - 4.9.2 was released on 2019-05-16. - Supporting project Bookkeeper Visual Manager released v1.0.0 on 2020-04-12. ## Community Health: Community has been active in making infrastructural changes to Apache Bookkeeper this past quarter. We have had initiatives which moved us to Github Actions from Jenkins and also cut down the build and test time by more than 50%. Other development activity has seemed to go from mailing lists to our slack channel (apachebookkeeper.slack.com) where we had around 38 new users of Apache Bookkeeper. In the past quarter, the above activity has resulted in the following GitHub activity: - 38 PRs opened (8% increase) - 40 PRs closed (48% increase) - 50 commits (51% increase) - 20 code contributors (66% increase) Mailing List activity: - 1272 emails in iss...@bookkeeper.apache.org (4% increase) - 30 emails in u...@bookkeeper.apache.org - 59 emails in the dev@bookkeeper.apache.org - We'll be pushing to bring the discussions back to the mailing lists. Meetups and Conferences: - Several talks are scheduled for the Bookkeeper Track in the Apache Pulsar Summit 2020 <https://pulsar-summit.org/schedule/> to be held in 17 and 18th June 2020.
