(To += dev@community; board@ -> bcc)
Thanks for the River report and the question for the board. The Apache
Community Development PMC is the best place to start asking for
assistance - while the primary focus is helping newcomers to projects,
it's also a place where we have many Apache mentors and Members available.

There certainly seems to be healthy discussion on the dev@ list
recently. Is the Apache River community concerned about finding new
contributors, or about better organizing work within the project?

RELEASES

Apache River 2.2.1 was released on May 2, 2013.
COMMUNITY
No new committers have been added since Nov of 2011.
There has been some discussion of the project’s health on the dev@ and users@
mailing lists, which has led to an effort to update the project’s build
architecture, in hopes of removing at least one barrier to participation. The
PMC is curious if there are any Apache resources to aid in community building.
Greg Trasuk has requested that the community nominate a new PMC Chair.
Discussions on a replacement Chair are under way. The board should expect a
resolution to change the Chair at the next board meeting.
ACTIVITY
Mailing lists and development have been reasonably active in the past few
months. 4 messages on users@ from Mar-Apr, and over 150 messages on
dev@.
Six issues have been reported on Jira and four of those have been resolved.
