## Description: The mission of Apache Petri is the creation and maintenance of software related to assessment of, education in, and adoption of the Foundation's policies and procedures for collaborative development and the pros and cons of joining the Foundation ## Issues: None ## Membership Data: Apache Petri was founded 2019-11-19 (a year ago) There are currently 8 committers and 5 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 8:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. We plan to evaluate this as cultures succeed. - No new committers. Last addition was Justin Erenkrantz on 2020-04-23. ## Project Activity: This quarter we made significant improvements to the Petri website. Of interest is a new status file - https://petri.apache.org/info.yaml which has project data and culture status. BuildStream is making slow and steady progress on their path along The Apache Way. They are currently in the process of connecting with copyright holders to change to the Apache License v2. Since the BuildStream website is yet to be moved, https://buildstream.apache.org is mapped to the BuildStream status page https://petri.apache.org/buildstream We've added support for OGL metadata to the website. Future posts to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn about Apache Petri will look good. ## Community Health: The significant work on the website was prompted by two factors. (1) Some questions from Sebb about improving our discussion of The Apache Way. (2) PRs and Issues from a John Bampton whose contributions include pointers to a number of tools. For some of his contributions see the tool links on https://github.com/apache/petri-site/blob/master/DEVELOPER.md

Last addition was Justin Erenkrantz on 2020-04-23. ## Project Activity: The BuildStream culture continues its migration with moving their GitLab repository over to Apache GitBox/GitHub with Infrastructure's fine assistance. The community continues to discuss their development efforts well on their dev@buildstrem.apache.org mailing list. ## Community Health: discuss@petri.apache.org had a big increase in traffic in the past quarter (26 emails compared to 0) Petri has a low level of activity. We have the attitude that the next culture we foster will come to us on their own. That may change in the next quarter. The plan to grow Petri PMC membership is to consider the Mentors from cultures once they have become TLPs. Culture mentors are Petri committers.

We are having some discussions about what the requirements should be for the PMC to recommend a culture to become a TLP. ## Community Health: BuildStream mailing list activity looks like proper OSS discussions in the Apache Way w/Consensus and w/o Votes. One current discussion is moving their GitLab repository to GitHub. An SGA and CCLA have been received. Mentors report that people are showing up on list from the Apache Build community.

In order to bootstrap the mailing list buildstream was made a podling for a couple of hours. Two members of the IPMC noticed and commented. We are creating a petri yaml file to track cultures, mentors, and resources. We will then need to work with Whimsy and Infra to improve process for future cultures. The project website now has more information. ## Community Health: BuildStream mailing list activity looks like proper OSS discussion in the Apache Way.
