Team, I mistakenly did not submit our July board report so submitted this month. Here is the text of the report. Thanks all for the continued progress!
## Description: The mission of NiFi is the creation and maintenance of software related to providing an easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data. Apache NiFi MiNiFi is an edge data collection agent built to seamlessly integrate with and leverage the command and control of NiFi. There are both Java and C++ implementations. Apache NiFi Registry is a centralized registry for key configuration items including flow versions, assets, and extensions for Apache NiFi and Apache MiNiFi. Apache NiFi Nar Maven Plugin is a release artifact used for supporting the NiFi classloader isolation model. Apache NiFi Flow Design System is a theme-able set of high quality UI components and utilities for use across the various Apache NiFi web applications in order to provide a more consistent user experience. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. Apologies for missing the July reporting date. ## Membership Data: Apache NiFi was founded 2015-07-14 (6 years ago) There are currently 53 committers and 33 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - Marton Szasz was added to the PMC on 2021-06-21 - Chris Sampson was added as committer on 2021-05-13 - Denes Arvay was added as committer on 2021-06-22 - Gábor Gyimesi was added as committer on 2021-07-22 ## Project Activity: NiFi 1.14.0 was released July 16 2021. This release now includes the Registry, Stateless NiFi, MiNiFi Java, and all the related toolkits. This will ensure we keep these highly related sub-projects well aligned and maintained. This release includes hundreds of JIRAs and importantly means NiFi is now started by default out of the box with best practices security configuration. Users no longer get unauthenticated HTTP access by default and we instead are given a randomly generated username and password and HTTPS with a self-signed cert. NiFi MiNiFi CPP 0.10.0 was released Jun 11 2021. It brings new components for sending data to S3 and Azure Blog Storage as well as the ability to capture perfmon data and journald. Additionally users can get resource consumption data in heartbeats as well as developers can build with Visual Studio 2019 on Windows. ## Community Health: Activity in mailing lists, PRs, JIRA, and votes all remain strong. Our Apache NiFi slack #general channel continues to grow and is up to 1,792 members and we continue to see new people not only asking questions but contributing (good) answers which of course we love. There appears to be roughly a 15-20% decrease in number of mailing list traffic and JIRAs but during this time we had stabilized the 1.14 release which would account for both the previous quarter climb and current quarter dip as we wound down that release. We implemented an auto closure for stale PRs which has greatly reduced the number of open PRs of course. But also it seems to be helping contributors stay engaged. Time will tell if it leads to improved collaboration or just leads to frustration. We'll continue to closely monitor this.
