Last addition was Liu Jiayu on 2022-06-25. ## Project Activity: Main activities have been about adding tests to PHP bindings and improving/ugrading build container infrastructure, as well as completing release 0.20.0 in March 2024. ## Community Health: Solid level of activity, steady flow of contributions, mostly via Github. Looking at the statistics, no tickets have been completed. What we can't see from that number is that there has been a total of 31 pull requests merged since January where there was no ticket assigned or which were parts of an overarching, yet incomplete ticket.

Previous release 0.19.0 was released on 2023-09-02. ## Community Health: Overall usual levels of activity, increasing level especially via Github. Level of "normal" patches decreases, most new contribs start communication via Github now. Moving forward towards next release, improving especially Go targets plus misc other issues across the entire project.

Last addition was Liu Jiayu on 2022-06-25. ## Project Activity: Released 0.19.0 successfully on 2023-SEP-02, working towards next release. ## Community Health: Project participation remains on a steady but low level, with the usual seasonal variations. Project activity in general varies between the 20+ language bindings we offer, for different reasons, which is also not unusual, because certain language ecosystems simply have faster development pace than other, more mature ones.

Last addition was Liu Jiayu on 2022-06-25. ## Project Activity: Right now we're working towards next release, which should take place in the next few weeks. ## Community Health: Project participation remains on a steady, yet still too low, level. One indicator of this is the amount of unhandled PRs on Github we face for a while now. Since Thrift is special in the regard that we support 20+ target languages, we definitely could use more skilled hands to review those PRs. In addition, since recent contributions especially from new people tend to be only small and rare, finding good committer candidates becomes quite a challenge.

We aim for the next release to happen in July. ## Community Health: Communication and general activity is on a relative low level. We have a notable number of open PRs on Github for quite a while now, yet there are only frew active reviewers. Since Thrift is special in the regard that we support 20+ target languages, we definitely could use more skilled hands to review those PRs.

For example, valuable contributions were made to improve the CI process efficiency in the last weeks. Given the significant number of language bindings we support, this improvement significantly reduces build time for pull requests.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Yuxuan Wang on 2021-03-12. - No new committers. Last addition was Christopher Tubbs on 2021-02-12. ## Project Activity: We released another (bugfix) update 0.14.2 on 2021-06-17 to handle two problems that prevented certain people from upgrading to the 0.14.x branch. Forthermore, we are working on the next release, which is planned to happen in September. ## Community Health: Activity was overall better than what the raw numbers of "compared to last quarter" mailing list activity etc. could imply. We added quite a number of patches and contributions, sometimes only small modifications, that nevertheless provided valuable improvements to the codebase health and robustness in various areas.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:3. Community changes, past quarter: - Yuxuan Wang was added to the PMC on 2021-03-12 - Christopher Tubbs was added as committer on 2021-02-12 ## Project Activity: We did two releases, 0.14.0 to finally fix CVE-2020-13949 and shortly afterwards 0.14.1 to patch some small issues that have been found after releasing 0.14.0. We are looking forward to get the next release ready in the next 4 months. * 0.14.1 was released on 2021-03-08. * 0.14.0 was released on 2021-02-11. ## Community Health: Especially after the latest releases we observed an increase in mailing list, patch and general project activities. Also, the number of PR reviews done has slightly increased, this was a pain point previously (and we still need to improve).

The initial idea was to have the release ready end of 2020. This has not been achieved, but we now push again to prepare the planned release to be ready in the next few weeks. ## Community Health: Despite the numeric decrease in most areas there have been certain valuable contributions to the code base. We also finally managed to switch the Apache Thrift web site away from the deprecated CMS, last not least thanks to some support we got from INFRA. Key bottleneck is still the review pipeline.

The project attracted a number of engaged individuals in the past months, three of which have been nominated to become committers (two see above, plus one still in "progress"). Largest "pain" we currently have is the number of regularly active reviewers - even though the activities in this area also slightly increased there's still room for improvements.

Last addition was David Mollitor on 2019-05-08. ## Project Activity: * 0.13.0 was released on 2019-10-16. * Currently working on release 0.14.0. ## Community Health: We had some success in attracting new contributors and receive a steady flow of contributions in various areas, mostly via Github pull requests. We still are looking actively for potential committers amongst them to broaden the committer base.
## Description: The mission of Thrift is the creation and maintenance of software related to Framework for scalable cross-language services development ## Issues: There are no current issues requiring board attention. We released version 0.13.0 successfully, with three +1 votes cast. However one of the three votes was counted as binding vote by mistake. Since this particular release fixed two CVEs and the CVE information had already been publicized in the meantime, since the community feedback we received on that release was pretty good, and since there were no -1 votes, no further action was taken as the mistake got noticed. Last not least, the particular voter is an active long-time committer who in the meantime also became a PMC member. Nevertheless, we are aware of the mistake and will make sure it does not happen again. ## Membership Data: Apache Thrift was founded 2010-10-20 (9 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

Last addition was David Mollitor on 2019-05-08. ## Project Activity: Version 0.13.0 was released on 2019-10-16. In the last two months we got an noticeable increase of contributions and patches in various areas. There is no concrete schedule for the next release as of today, but there will be one. ## Community Health: We receive a steady flow of contributions and own improvements. We are still working on broadening the committer and PMC base in order to increase our pool of active people. Community activity has increased. In our opinion this is a direct function of the increased release frequency (compared to the years before), we generally receive good feedback from the community in that regard.

Last addition was David Mollitor on 2019-05-08. ## Project Activity: We are still in the middle of preparing for the next (0.13.0) release. The process has been slowed down by a number of tickets that were considered release blockers, however all except one are solved by now. We are expecting to have the release ready soon. ## Community Health: We received and appreciate attention by certain new contributors (actual and potential ones) in the last weeks, last not least reflected by the number of JIRA tickets and pull requests. Current main work is the planned release and keeping pace with the pull requests we continue to receive.
## Description:
- Apache Thrift is a high performance cross platform RPC and serialization
solution.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- In the past weeks certain issues have been adressed and new features were
added. We are currently in the middle of preparing for the next (0.13.0)
release.
## Health report:
- The project code is healthy and fairly mature.
- Regarding the ratio between the numbers of active vs. silent committers,
there is still room for improvement.
- The level of participation and activity differs between the various
languages Thrift currently supports, i.e. the bread-and-butter mainstream
languages usually (and probably naturally) get more recognition and active
participation than the more exotic ones.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 17 PMC members.
- No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
- Last PMC addition was James E. King III on Fri Nov 03 2017
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 35 committers.
- New commmitters:
- David Mollitor was added as a committer on Wed May 08 2019
- Sebastian Zenker was added as a committer on Tue Apr 30 2019
## Releases:
- Last maintenance release was 0.9.3.1 on Wed Mar 13 2019
- Last regular release was 0.12.0 on Fri Jan 04 2019
## Mailing list activity:
- Mailing list activity is good
- User inquiries and questions are usually answered very quickly or in a
timely manner.
- dev@thrift.apache.org:
- 258 subscribers (up 2 in the last 3 months):
- 380 emails sent to list (1445 in previous quarter)

- 15 emails sent to list (40 in previous quarter)
## JIRA activity:
- 58 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 42 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
## Description:
- Apache Thrift is a high performance cross platform RPC and serialization
solution.
## Issues:
- there are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- Since our last 0.12.0 release Apache Thrift a number of bugs have been
adressed and certain improvements have been implemented in various areas.
- Version 0.9.3.1 based on 0.9.3 has been released to port the security fixes
for CVE-2018-1320 into that branch. Due to an oversight the 0.9.3.1 was
prematurely released to Maven Central prior to a vote. Corrective action
was taken to properly vote on 0.9.3.1, and that vote passed.
- A vote for another release 0.12.1 did not pass because the necessary number
of votes was too low. As a result, we are planning for 0.13.0 as the next
regular release
## Health report:
- The project code is healthy and fairly mature
- Main issue is the ratio between the numbers of active vs. silent committers
and PMC members. With respect to the relatively complex code base
consisting of 20+ supported target languages, there is room for
improvement.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Jake Farrell (jfarrell) to the office of Vice President, Apache Thrift, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Jake Farrell from the office of Vice President, Apache Thrift, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache Thrift project has chosen by vote to recommend Jens Geyer (jensg) as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Jake Farrell is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Thrift, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Jens Geyer be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Thrift, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed. Special Order 7D, Change the Apache Thrift Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.
## Description: - Apache Thrift is a high performance cross platform RPC and serialization solution. ## Issues: - The PMC has lost contact with its chair Jake Farrell. A new chair was elected by the PMC to overcome the issue. - Due to the short notice, we do not have access to Whimsy etc. set up, so we are sending this report via mail. ## Activity: - The community continues to dramatically reduce the issue and pull request backlog. James King in particular deserves special mention in this regard, as he has put in a huge amount of hours recently and is almost singularly responsible for our recent 0.12 release. ## Health report: - The project code is healthy and fairly mature. The build system is in transition and while there is work to do there, the community is actively discussing a 1.0 release. That said, we need more active committers and PMC members. Of the 17 PMC members only 3 are active, of the 33 committers, less than half are active. ## PMC changes: - Currently 17 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 4 months - Last PMC addition was James E. King III on Thu Nov 02 2017 - The PMC elected a new Chair, Jens Geyer, per Sun Feb 10 2019 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 33 committers. - No new committers added in the last 4 months - Last committer addition was Allen George at Mon Mar 19 2018 ## Releases: - 0.12.0 was released on Thu Jan 03 2019 ## Mailing list activity: - Mailing list activity is good though not all user inquiries, particularly exotic ones are answered by the community. - dev@thrift.apache.org: Currently: subscribers (down -7 in the last 3 months) () - 257 subscribers (down -7 in the last 3 months): - 1843 emails sent in the past 3 months - 548 in the previous cycle - user@thrift.apache.org: - 680 subscribers (no change in the last 3 months) - 20 emails sent in the past 3 months - 21 in the previous cycle ## JIRA activity: - 134 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 270 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Apache Thrift is a framework for providing cross-platform RPC and serialization. Project Status --------- The Apache Thrift community recently switched canonical repository location from Apache git-wip to Github via the ASF Gitbox service and this has caused some unanticipated pain for our user and dev communities. We are working to address these client library integration problems as fast as possible and Apache Infra has been a great help with this when needed. While addressing these issues we are progressing towards our next release candidate and focusing on improving our processes arounds test automation and simplifying our workflows.

Apache Thrift is a framework for providing cross-platform RPC and serialization. Project Status --------- The Apache Thrift community has seen a drop in activity this quarter due to issues with our CI pipeline and the ability for us to quickly test new contributions. Our backlog was spread across multiple systems and we had multiple ways a new code contribution could be submitted with multiple CI systems all testing different things and having their own set of problems. The Apache Thrift community discussed what was occurring on the dev@ list and the consensus was made to create a single work flow which would involve moving fully over to Github for all code contributions, stopping use of the ASF Jenkins for CI and using Travis and AppVeyor to meet our needs. We now have this new single work flow in place and are seeing successful green builds on master again for new contributions. We are now discussing how to best go back through the backlog and test previously contributed patches in the new work flow while we continue working to improve our test speed and coverage. With the new work flow in place and successful builds from our CI we are planning to cut our 0.10.0 release candidate before the end of July.

Thrift has been discussing what is required for it to move forwards - most notably in relation to releases. While many developers work off their own branches, and therefore do not require or need formal releases, they do accept the need for releases. As a way to encourage releasing, a proposal was made to have a release manager. As a result of this suggestion, Bryan Duxbury was voted in as the Thrift release manager, and is intending to take on regular releases. One-off report from Upayavira
DID NOT REPORT, but see general comments at the top of the Board report.

*** DID NOT REPORT Thrift is running, and did put out a release in December. There were 199 developer messages (a large percentage of which are JIRA posts), a handful of user-related messages, and roughly a score of commits.
Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently and seamlessly between a variety of programming languages. Thrift entered the Apache Incubator in May 2008. * Release candidate is still outstanding -- review has continued but the release has not been finalized * Lots of general iteration and bugfixing activity Generally, things are in a similar state as last quarter. There is plenty of activity in JIRA and on the mailing lists, but we need to finalize our release candidate and get it officially out the door.
IPMC reviews: Upayavira Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently and seamlessly between a variety of programming languages. Thrift entered the Apache Incubator in May 2008. Recent Activity of Note: * Have created RC1 and RC2 for our 0.1 release, still waiting on votes to finalize RC2 * Next step after approval is to present to the Incubator PMC * Esteve Fernandez and Alexander Shigin both received passing votes for committership! * Progress made on non-blocking C++ server * New language support for compact protocol * Work started on an ActionScript generator * Java configuration/install process improved * Simplified compiler installation process via dependency removal * More in-depth comparative analysis of Thrift vs. similar serialization platforms Biggest next step for considering graduation is getting the release out successfully. Licensing issues all seem to be in good shape with no legal issues.

Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently and seamlessly between a variety of programming languages. Thrift entered the Apache Incubator in May 2008. Recent Activity: * General iteration and bug-fixing continuing * Added support for a general type-annotation system added to the grammar -- allows for greater flexibility in type modifications * Significant additions made to some language libraries (i.e. C# has become much more complete) * Jake Luciani was granted commit rights. He was on the original project proposal, but did not contribute for some 10 months. Therefore, his addition was handled with a PPMC, then an Incubator PMC vote Issues before Graduation: * We are still working through adding more committers to the project. * We are also still developing against the trunk, and will need to create our first Apache release.

Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. Thrift allows you to define data types and service interfaces in a simple definition file. Taking that file as input, the compiler generates code to be used to easily build RPC clients and servers that communicate seamlessly across programming languages. Incubating since May 2008 Status: * The SVN repository has been moved to Apache. * Mailing lists and JIRA have been set up. * Have 9 committers (6.5 from Facebook, 2.5 not from Facebook). * Adapted to the JIRA workflow. * Some best practices around use of Git have been developed. Documentation and further discussion required. * Significant rework of the Ruby bindings completed and committed. Plans: * Improve (wiki) documentation. * Complete a release cycle plan. (What/when/how defines the release of a version?) * Document and elaborate best practices of Git as a contribution tool. (Background: we are very happy with the way Git worked for us before incubation, and we want to find a way to make it continue to work within the Apache Way). * Finish rounding up Software Grant forms.
