## Description: The Apache Commons project focuses on all aspects of reusable Java components. The Apache Commons components are widely used in many projects, both within Apache and without. Any ASF committer can commit to Apache Commons. The last report was on September 13 2016. ## Issues: - There are no issues that requires the boards attention this quarter. ## Activity: - The project is active with 6 releases this reporting period. - We released one new component: Apache Commons RNG 1.0. Commons RNG provides implementations of pseudo-random numbers generators that are either faster or of higher quality (and sometimes both) than java.util.Random. - Commons RDF is making its way out of the incubator into Commons toward a 1.0 release. ## Health report: - Most components in Commons are mature, but are still actively maintained (6 releases). The dev list is active. JIRA is active. Speed of responses to users is reasonable in most cases. We have 1 new PMC member, and Commons is still open to any Apache Committer. - Commons Math still feels stuck and now depends on Commons RNG in our repository. We are discussing how to evolve this component, which has caused some friction within our community, all of which can be seen on the developer's mailing list. There are several proposals for fostering new communities in place of the dwindling Commons Math one, but that those are in limbo because no consensus has been reached yet. Unedited reporter data follows. ## PMC changes: - Currently 36 PMC members. - Bruno P. Kinoshita was added to the PMC on Wed Oct 26 2016 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 142 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Eric Barnhill at Tue Sep 06 2016 ## Releases: - BEANUTILS-1.9.3 was released on Sat Sep 24 2016 - BUILDPLUGIN 1.7 was released on Mon Nov 21 2016 - JCS-2.0-beta-2 was released on Mon Oct 31 2016 - LANG-3.5 was released on Thu Oct 13 2016 - RNG-1.0 was released on Sun Dec 11 2016 - WEAVER-1.3 was released on Mon Oct 17 2016 ## JIRA activity: - 177 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 184 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months Gary Gregory, Your Apache Commons PMC Chair. -- E-Mail: garydgreg...@gmail.com | ggreg...@apache.org <ggreg...@apache.org> Java Persistence with Hibernate, Second Edition <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1617290459/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1617290459&linkCode=as2&tag=garygregory-20&linkId=cadb800f39946ec62ea2b1af9fe6a2b8> <http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=garygregory-20&l=am2&o=1&a=1617290459> JUnit in Action, Second Edition <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1935182021/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1935182021&linkCode=as2&tag=garygregory-20&linkId=31ecd1f6b6d1eaf8886ac902a24de418%22> <http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=garygregory-20&l=am2&o=1&a=1935182021> Spring Batch in Action <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1935182951/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1935182951&linkCode=%7B%7BlinkCode%7D%7D&tag=garygregory-20&linkId=%7B%7Blink_id%7D%7D%22%3ESpring%20Batch%20in%20Action> <http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=garygregory-20&l=am2&o=1&a=1935182951> Blog: http://garygregory.wordpress.com Home: http://garygregory.com/ Tweet! http://twitter.com/GaryGregory
