One of the most important signs of a healthy open source project
is the level of code activity, which reflects how frequently the
developers are updating, improving, and maintaining the code base.
According to the GitHub statistics1, RocketMQ had 1,066 commits in
the last quarter, which is an average of about 12 commits per day.
This shows that RocketMQ is a very active project with
a high rate of code development.


* User Feedback
The final aspect of community health that we will review is user feedback,
 which reflects how satisfied and engaged the users are with the project.
 User feedback can be obtained from various sources, such as surveys,
 ratings, reviews, comments, forums, blogs, social media, etc. For this report,
  we will use two sources: npm package health analysis3 and Stack Overflow
  questions4.
According to the npm package health analysis3, RocketMQ has a high popularity
score of 8.9 out of 10, which means that it has a large number of downloads
and dependents. It also has a high security score of 9.6 out of 10, which
means that it has no known vulnerabilities or license issues. These scores
show that RocketMQ is a popular and safe package for Node.js developers.
According to the Stack Overflow questions4, RocketMQ has 1,112 questions
tagged with “rocketmq” as of October 16th, 2023. Out of these questions,
83% have at least one answer and 54% have an accepted answer.

## Description:
Apache RocketMQ is a distributed messaging and streaming platform with low
 latency, high performance and reliability, trillion-level capacity and
 flexible scalability.

## Issues:
Some of the new PMC members, even including release manager,
make some unofficial release without notice to release packages
to apache's dist directory. RocketMQ will soon release docker
images, which needs to be avoided. The ASF is supposed to
make it easier for developers to develop. It is not
supposed to be creating red tape to guard the entrance to
the hallowed halls. However, according to the summary of
several release managers, for China, Networking instability
is the biggest obstacle, such as when typing the command
 "mvn -Psigned_release release:perform -Darguments="-DskipTests"
" or "svn commit".

## Membership Data:
Apache RocketMQ was founded 2017-09-20 (2 years ago)

- John Xu was added as committer on 2019-06-13
- Qipeng Li was added as PMC on 2019-08-12

## Project Activity:
- ROCKETMQ-4.5.2 was released on 2019-08-12.
- Apache RocketMQ Meetup Beijing, China ended
on Sat Jun. 29 2019, 140+ spectators attended.
- Apache RocketMQ & Apache Flink Shanghai, China
ended on Sat Jul. 6 2019, 160+ spectators attended.
- Apache RocketMQ Meetup Shenzhen, China
ended on Sat Jul. 27 2019, 150+ spectators attended.


## Community Health:
Potentially useful observations on community health
are clearly show in the new version of the ASF Board
Report Wizard. So, there is no need to mention it here.
In the past year, the community focused on the
core feature development of the messging industry
and the development of multi-language projects.
At present, several stable versions of each language
are released, and there are also good use cases
in some companies. Overall community health
is good. We have been performing extensive outreach
to related projects, such as embracing k8s, microservice capability enhancement.

   There has been discussion on list re community building and activities
   happening e.g. external hackathon but translating that into new
   committers seems hard.

   I think part of this is process (new to Apache and the way we do things)
   and perhaps PR review process / the committer bar has been set a little
   too high. Perhaps the PMC should look at voting in people that contribute
   to the project a little earlier?

Shepherd/Mentor notes:

 Justin Mclean:

   Project is off to a fast start and will have a release out and is likely
   to have committers voted in before next report. There's been IMO a few
   teething issues re development outside the project and PRs being closed
   with explanation but on-list discussions have resolved these issues
   amicably.
