Hi all, here's the quarterly report that we submitted to the board.
Thanks to all for your help preparing the report. If you
see anything I missed, please let me know.

====================================================
## Description:
The mission of the Apache DB project is to create and maintain
commercial-quality, open-source, database solutions based on software licensed
to the Foundation, for distribution at no charge to the public.
The Apache DB TLP consists of the following subprojects:
o Derby : a relational database implemented entirely in Java.
o JDO : focused on building the API and the TCK for compatibility
testing of Java Data Object implementations providing data
persistence.
o Torque : an object-relational mapper for Java.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: none

Apache DB was founded 2002-07-16 (23 years ago)

## Project Activity:
DB project activity was steady throughout the winter quarter. Each of
the DB project communities continued planned work while addressing
queries and contributions from the community.
Recent releases:
Torque 6.0 was released on 2024-05-22.
Derby-10.17.1.0 was released on 2023-11-14.
## Community Health:
The Torque community completed an important fix in TORQUE-372. The
community is in ongoing discussion about version control and
deprecated frameworks in TORQUE-371.
The JDO community were active in a number of areas:
- Work continues on improving the documentation on type safe queries.
- SBOMs which are required for security have been generated
and will be merged into the standard builds, pending the automated
build process that infra is working on.
- Work continues on removing dependencies on external interfaces,
which are only used for a small number of cases.
The Derby community was very quiet this winter. The team did some
work on the website and are working on correcting the links to the
email archives, which are stale.
