## Project Activity:
With 0.15.0 released last quarter, we're in our typical lull as projects adopt
the new release and report back issues.  So far it has been quiet so no real
activity to fix issues.

## Community Health:
Quiet, as can be expected from a project is very cyclical. e.g.:

dev@yetus.apache.org had a 59% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (5
emails compared to 12) combined with zero JIRA and Github activity.

## Project Activity:

0.15.0 was released on 2023-11-14.

Obviously this quarter was geared towards finishing up the 0.15.0 release. It
has been a "slow burn" for a while so it was good to finally get it out.  This
release was also the first one with some signicant changes in our written
release process, so those had to be worked out as well.

## Community Health:

Given the project is near the bottom of the pecking order for our
contributors, Q4 is usually pretty quiet... unless a release is happening. The
community health metrics clearly demonstrate that--vote emails, release
process improvement issues filed, etc. With the release being in the middle of
the quarter, stats are a bit wacky this time since most of the core
development was done in previous quarters.

* dev@yetus.apache.org had a 200% increase in traffic in the past quarter (12
 emails compared to 4)
* 9 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (50% increase)
* 13 commits in the past quarter (-38% change)

Work is continuing on getting a new release out, hopefully this upcoming
quarter. There are no critical bugs and downstream users have been mostly
quiet.  Still we have some things we need to get out sooner rather than
later, given that the container image will need to switch to the newer
Ubuntu LTS image before it EOLs.

## Community Health:

Release work is happening, so there has been some movement:

6 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-50% change)

The vast majority of people who contribute that are not already
committers or PMC are "drive-by" contributors.  They submit one
or two patches and are never heard from again. Therefore, no,
there are no candidates in the pipeline and there are no considerations
for lowering the bar at the present time.

22 Mar 2023 [Allen Wittenauer / Sharan]

## Description:
Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and
release processes for software projects.

## Issues:

(These were from the community section in the last report, however given that
 these are direct responses to the Board from questions raised, I am putting
 them here.) From the last board report:

>Considering the amount of commits being done, I guess manual editing of
>release notes should not be a real problem.

I apologize for miscommunicating the situation in the last board report. One
of the tools that Apache Yetus' provides is a release notes generation tool.
This tool currently does not support Github.  While those downstream users of
our tools could certainly manually generate their own release notes that would
effectively make their usage of Apache Yetus' release notes tool non-existent.
In addition to listening to our userbase, the project also attempts to predict
future needs since many downstream users are also open source projects.  Their
concerns about the lack of Github support in the Apache Yetus release note
tool becomes the Apache Yetus project's concern.

>And could you please elaborate a
>bit more on what you mean with the second concern? How does a change in the
>GitHub API require projects do more frequent releases?

Again, I apologize for the miscommunication.  Apache Yetus ties in very
strongly with the Github API in a variety of capacities, but in particular in
its ability to write Github Check Runs capabilities to report the results of
builds.  Given Github has announced that they will be rolling that API on a
regular basis, it will likely result in _Apache Yetus_ performing more
frequent releases which will result in the Apache Yetus' downstream users also
pulling in the project's releases more frequently.

Since there appears to be some confusion as to what the Apache Yetus project
actually provides to other ASF projects, non-ASF OSS projects, and commercial
entities that use the tooling, I'd be more than happy to present to the board
or individuals as desired and/or necessary.

## Project Activity:

0.14.1 was released on 2022-10-17.

A quiet quarter post release of 0.14.1.  Most of the activity
has been discussion around enhancing Github authentication for Github
Enterprise deployments.


## Community Health:
Nothing noteworthy to report here given the usual lull post-release and
the general stability of the project.

## Project Activity:

Apache Yetus 0.14.1 was released on October 17, 2022 as a maintenance release
to 0.14.0 (released in May 2022). It primarily fixes critical bugs and some
updates to the binaries in the convenience Docker container.

Two points of future concerns that the project will likely need to tackle due
to outside forces:

* Release notes generation from git (and GitHub in particular) will likely
 need to get addressed now that more of the downstream projects are
 considering migrating away from JIRA-based issue tracking.  This feature has
 long been a wishlist item . . .

* GitHub is changing the versioning of their API to be calendar-based, with
 guarantees of at least 24-months of support.  Minimally, downstream users
 will likely have greater turnover.  Project may need to do more frequent
 releases.


## Community Health:
Project is still mature/stable with not a lot of activity.  This past quarter
reflects its typical "oh we should release" bumps, with smaller numbers than a
bigger release due to this being a maintenance release.

* 11 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (175% increase)
* 15 commits in the past quarter (275% increase)
* dev@yetus.apache.org had a 750% increase in traffic in the past quarter (17
 emails compared to 2)

- 0.12.0 was released on 2020-04-13.

Apache Yetus releases are consumed by other Apache projects as basis
for precommit and other testing workflows which automatically check new
contributions against a variety of community accepted requirements.
Because those requirements are established practice and do not often
change there can be long periods of time where no changes to Yetus are
required, and no releasing is necessary.

## Community Health:

* 4 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-89% change)
* 3 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-91% change)

commits@ has ASF repo activity. gitbox@ has Github-repo activity.
All of our development activity is on github.

Because Yetus tooling provides mature functionality for stable
downstream testing workflows, project activity can be expected to be
sporadic and spiky in nature.

## Project Activity:

Apache Yetus 0.14.0 was released on May 16, 2022.  Adoption is
now in progress in a bunch of locations with the only known problem
being a change in golangci-lint's behavior with regards to
output.  The workaround is trivial but we will definitely need to fix
it in a future release.

As part of this release, we've officially made JDK11 the floor for our
Java code.  In order to do so, we had to tap into private APIs since
the Doclet APIs are (still?) missing core functionality.  However,
downstream users of us will now be able to move forward as well.

Post-release, most of the activity has been around fixing problems
seen with the release process itself.  While ours is fairly automated,
it can always be improved.

## Project Activity:
After a period of heavy activity, work on getting a new release out
has stalled over the past quarter.  Currently two known blocker issues
that need to get worked in order for us to release:

* detect-secrets integration has been on pause while that
 community picks a direction to head while also working on a new
 release.  They seem to have figured out a path in the past few days
 so community will need to evaluate what to do next.

* audience-annotations has been updated to JDK11 which allows us
 to remove JDK8 support.  However there are some blocking issues
 that remain post-upgrade that need to be worked out. We may need
 to cut a release with the JDK11 work in order to get the other
 updates out there.

## Project Activity:
Quite a bit of work has been done to prepare for the next release. Barring
anything showing up in some internal tests that aw@ is doing and one open doc
issue, will likely start the process in the next week or so.

One of the biggest changes in this upcoming release may be of interest to other
projects.  We have moved to GitHub Container Registry for the convience
container infrastructure.  This change was necessitated to allow us to build
both amd64 and arm64 with a minimal of fuss using the multiplatform feature of
docker's buildx.  This means that with the next release, our containers are
now native on Apple M1 and other ARM platforms.  The 'docker pull' command
knows which platform to pull automatically so user experience is great.

Still lingering questions about how to handle the eventual JDK 8 EOL but
privately one contributor has mentioned wanting to look at reworking the parts
that won't work with JDK9+.  For now, keeping those bits in and will need to
be reconsidered in a few months.

## Project Activity:

Some work has started to materialize with at least two external
entities expressing interest in a 0.14 release with updated
Docker components and some other (relatively) minor fixes and
additions to the precommit functionality. It has been nearly a
year since the last release so it is definitely time.

Given the gap between releases, some discussion around what to do about
JDK8.  In particular, the audience-annotations part of the project
needs some major work to build under JDK9 and later with the existing
functionality. Sacrificing some of it would at least get it to build
without too much effort, we think.  However, despite it being used by
quite a few projects, no one seems particularly interested in putting
in the work to make that happen.

Additionally, jenkins-admin (which the ASF uses to pull patches
from JIRA into Jenkins) could use some work. Some discussion on
removing it as well for similar reasons.

All of the above is reflected in the community health metrics.

Frankly? Nothing.  Everyone is busy with other stuff and/or
there are no pressing issues.  Most of the ASF projects using
Apache Yetus still haven't upgraded to the 0.13.0 release from
the end of last year.  The feedback received from external-to-the-ASF
deployments has been mainly "it mostly works as advertised." Stable is
good, right?

From a personal observation perspective: I'm not too concerned. Community
will likely need to target a dot release in the next quarter if only to update
the Docker container's contents and officially release the one or two PRs
that have gone in since the last one.

## Project Activity:

The usual post-release lull quarter... with a twist.

Usually, there is a quarter of people doing upgrades for their
individual projects in the ASF.  But it appears the adoption of the
latest release (0.13.0) is significantly higher outside of the ASF,
primarily due to GitHub Actions support. In fact, there is only one
ASF projectthat appears to have even attempted to upgrade to this
release. That deployment is (effectively) reverting some code in
order to revert back to previous behavior.  It is greatly disappointing
that a lack of participation in the ASF during the release process
didn't help discover these bugs earlier, but it is what it is.

## Community Health:

How down was this post-release lull?  Might be our biggest one, and
that is likely reflective of most of the work in the project being
done by one person who didn't do much of any contributions this
quarter:

## Project Activity:
The Apache Yetus 0.13.0 release was cut on 2020-11-27 and announced as
official on 2020-12-06.  It is by far the release with the most
JIRA issues and code changes since project inception.  While there
are significant features added, there was also a lot of code removed
and documentation enhancements as we push towards making the project
easier to use and adopt.  Part of that work included working with Legal
on LEGAL-537 which codifies our intent to publish a GitHub Action into the
GitHub Marketplace--a first for an ASF project.  (At the moment we are
prevented from publishing on the Marketplace as it looks like the agreement
needs to get re-signed, but we are unsure as to why.  Not an issue for
the board; just an FYI if you go looking for the Github Action in
the Marketplace and isn't there yet.  :) )

With the publishing of the GitHub Action, we will almost certainly need
to get closer to the projects original founding goal of quarterly
releases. A lot of work was put into this release to speed up the release
process, so we will hopefully see that work pay off.

* 99 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (518% increase)

The only bad part is that most of the heavy lifting is still being done
by a small group of people:

* 4 code contributors in the past quarter (no change)

## Description:
The mission of Yetus is the creation and maintenance of software related to
libraries and tools that enable contribution and release
processes for software projects

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.

## Membership Data:
Apache Yetus was founded 2015-09-15 (5 years ago)
There are currently 12 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 4:3.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Akira Ajisaka on 2018-12-17.
- No new committers. Last addition was Akira Ajisaka on 2018-02-06.

## Project Activity:
Project has been very quiet the past quarter, with sporadic discussion about
switching form 'master' to 'main', the occasional help request, bug/rfe work,
etc.  The community health metrics below reflect that.

Overall, it's summer and people are busy with other things.  Nothing too
exciting to worry about... we are due to work on a release soon though, if
only to update the dependencies in our Docker image.

With the removal of builds.apache.org, the Yetus community has decided to move
their CI to GitHub Actions.  There are enough contributors that regularly use
Jenkins that it wasn't felt necessary to continue using that as a the baseline
test.  Additionally, jobs that we ran for the ASF's benefit ( JIRA<->Jenkins
patch submitter, docker cleanup, etc) would require significant retooling and
support effort to work in an equivalent manner under the new, broken up
layout.

## Community Health:

Down...

* dev@yetus.apache.org had a 29% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (25
 emails compared to 35)
* 12 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-20% decrease)
* 7 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-41% decrease)

... but not totally dead!

* 5 commits in the past quarter (-72% decrease)
* 6 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-57% decrease)
* 6 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-60% decrease)

## Project Activity:
While it was delayed, we did finally release 0.12.0 on 2020-04-13. It was
primarily geared towards some high level bug fixes and adjusting to changes in
the larger CI ecosystem.  This was followed by the usual break in activity as
everyone works on upgrading, etc.

There has been little activity of late.

Since then, we've had a global pandemic, job loss, social unrest, and a
society that has woken up to police brutality and racism.  A lot more
important issues going on than a tertiary level project even within the ASF.
Expecting activity right now isn't particularly realistic.

## Community Health:
To give some raw numbers has to how down things are:

* 15 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-44% decrease)
* 12 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-42% decrease)

* 14 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-17% decrease)
* 15 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-11% decrease)

## Project Activity:
Patches are trickling in for an eventual 0.12.0 release! It looks like
we have folks using Apache Yetus in new and interesting ways and hitting
bugs and/or missing features or usability problems.  Frankly, it is quite
exciting and hope it leads to more community growth which will lead to more
contributions which will lead to more committers which will lead to more
PMC members.

That said, given some of the critical issues that have been filed,
a 0.12.0 will come sooner rather than later . . .


## Community Health:
As usual, a new year == more activity.  But to me the interesting thing is how
much our workflows are moving to GitHub vs. JIRA+mailing lists:


While both have had interesting discussions just in the past month, there is
no denying where stuff is happening:

* dev@yetus.apache.org had a 8% increase in traffic in the past quarter (39
 emails compared to 36)
* gitbox@yetus.apache.org had a 280% increase in traffic in the past quarter
 (133 emails compared to 35)

Our workflow is basically open a JIRA, then either open a GitHub PR with your
change or attach a patch file to JIRA.

 It's obvious what is the preferred path:

* 25 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (56% increase)
* 18 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (125% increase)

* 14 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (40% increase)
* 13 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (30% increase)

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

It was a relatively slow end of the year for us. We released 0.11.1,
addressing an accessibility issue in a new feature added in
0.11.0. The community has begun discussion around a 0.12.0 release,
with preparations expected to commence this month.

## Project Activity:
We released 0.11.0! New in this release was adding more static linters for go,
markdown, and protobuf, emojis on Github posts, and support for Slack and
Cirrus CI.

So far this year, we've done really well on getting somewhat quarterly
releases out.  This has been a goal from day one.  Let's hope it continues!

* 0.11.0 was released on 2019-08-28.
* 0.10.0 was released on 2019-04-21.
* 0.9.0 was released on 2019-01-18.

Allen Wittenauer gave a talk on "Testing Contributions at Scale" at ACNA19
that featured the project.

## Community Health:
The past quarter has been relatively slow (with literally no traffic for a bit
over a month).  This reflects that the busy-ness of the primary contributor to
the project:

* 12 commits in the past quarter (-85% decrease)
* 3 code contributors in the past quarter (-50% decrease)
* 6 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-70% decrease)
* 6 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-76% decrease)

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

We released 0.10.0 and are working towards a 0.11.0 release, primarily bug
fixes and non-ASF-project-generated feature requests.

## Health report:

Community appears stalled.  Several blog posts and an in-progress reworking
parts of the website will hopefully push growth.  Additionally, there has been
some uptick in usage outside of the ASF that may eventually drive more growth.

## Description:

Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and release
processes for software projects.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

We released 0.9.0 and are working towards a 0.10.0 release to fix some
outstanding issues as well as add a few features.

## Health Report:

Since the last board report, the switch to lazy consensus has moved the needle
for the project as far as speed of commits.  No contributions have been
rejected.  To answer the board's question from the last report: there has been
no practical difference between RTC w/lazy consensus and CTR as yet.  However,
we have not done a release yet that compromised mostly LC commits since that
was put in place.

Adoption of/upgrades to 0.9.0 in the ASF remain lower than expected.  This
likely has to do with most of the contribution work being geared towards
non-ASF deployments.

Since the upgrade of the build infrastructure off of builds.apache.org in the
past few months, there has been an uptick of build jobs failing.  Some of us
have been getting queries from Yetus-based ASF projects. No real cycles have
been spent investigating why. Some thinking that the systemd defaults are out
of whack again. With our own (relatively tiny) jobs, rerunning on a different,
much less busy host usually succeeds.

## Mailing list activity:

INFRA made an unannounced change after we had been on Gitbox for a month
causing all Github traffic to head to dev@.  Attempting to get this changed
such that Gitbox emails go to the gitbox@ mailing list instead has been a bit
of a struggle.

- dev@yetus.apache.org:
- 44 subscribers (down -1 in the last 3 months):
- 179 emails sent to list (49 in previous quarter)

- gitbox@yetus.apache.org:

## JIRA activity:

0.9.0 closed a lot of long-standing issues, thus getting us a net positive for
this quarter!

19 Dec 2018 [Allen Wittenauer / Isabel]

## Description:

Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and release
processes for software projects.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

There were three big changes in the project over the past quarter.

1) The project has moved to a Maven-based build system.  This change will
enable the project to clean up a lot of automation, additional testing, and
lots of other exciting things.  Before Maven, Yetus was built via a shell
script that lacked much functionality.  Moving to a real build tool has been
on the TODO list for a very long time (YETUS-15!).

2) We've changed contributions to be Lazy Consensus with a 72-hour window.
This change was done primarily to unblock contributions that were having
trouble getting past the patch phase due to lack of review time.  It is hoped
that this will increase project velocity.  The release process is unchanged.

3) We've started publishing convenience artifacts on hub.docker.com.  Combined
with other changes, the Docker images will hopefully increase project adoption
on services such as Circle CI, Travis CI, and GitLab CI in addition to more
traditional Jenkins shops now utilizing Docker.

## Health report:

As predicted, health-wise, this quarter was relatively quiet.  With the above
changes combined with the forced relocation of ASF projects to Gitbox, the
next quarter may prove interesting and/or challenging.

## PMC changes:

  The project released 0.8.0.  This is the first release in a while that was
  not centered around some sort of "bad actor" or a change to the ASF
  infrastructure.  Let's hope this continues!

## Health report:

  Our typical pattern appears to continue: activity goes significantly up
  due to the work required to get a new release out.  Unless a new release
  is eminent, next quarter will likely be another quiet one.

Since the last report, version 0.7.0 was released with the resource related
changes. This release, however, was problematic in a few ways.  The ASF JIRA
upgrade broke patch precommit testing for a large number of projects.  After
getting changes in place, this required the project to "rush" a release to get
these other projects back to functional.  Unfortunately, this revealed that
the PMC's ability to get the necessary votes for a release promptly doesn't
appear to be realistic.  There has been some discussion in the past quarter to
rethink how we do releases to make this possible.

## Health report:

Activity is significantly down, despite reliance on the project being up. The
software itself is relatively stable, so that may be the reason why.

Was it a trick or was it a treat?  The day before Halloween, the community
dropped 0.5.1 and instead released 0.6.0!  This release cleaned up the rough
edges around 0.5.0, added support for the Apache Ratis project, and bug fixes.

There is some ramp up on releasing 0.7.0.  This release will mostly feature
resource controls that are related to protecting the ASF build infrastructure
from being brought down due to errant unit tests. As a result, this will also
be the first release in a while with some significant backward
incompatibilities.

## Health report:

Slow and steady, as usual.  The project remains engaged with various other ASF
projects and a contact point when problems arise.

## Releases:

- 0.6.0 was released on Mon Oct 30 2017

## Mailing list activity:

Of note, a change to one of the Jenkins jobs dropped a significant amount of

Community is working on 0.5.1, an emergency release to fix a critical,
non-security bug on some platforms.

## Health report:

Apache Yetus is now two years old!

"A rising tide lifts all boats."

Contributions remain low but fairly consistent. Most contributions are related
to other Apache projects investigating or migrating to using
Apache Yetus in their workflows.

The project is healthy given our goal of a common shared space for exactly
these kinds of common tasks, despite the appearance low activity
level.

Our challenge remains to keep these new contributors engaged enough
beyond getting their project up and running.

release processes for software projects.

ISSUES FOR THE BOARD'S ATTENTION

We missed our report last month due to the PMC Chair failing to find time.
As mentioned in previous reports, the current chair is looking to have the
position rotated. Another member of the PMC has expressed interest and the
PMC will be working on the issue this quarter.


RELEASES

The community released version 0.5.0 on July 12, 2017.

ACTIVITY

No new PMC additions in this period; our last PMC addition was Ajay
Yadava on Dec 1st, 2016.

No new committer additions in this period; our last committer
additions were Andrew Wang and Ajay Yadava on Sep 20th, 2016.

The community recently finished up the  0.5.0 release, which has some
usability improvements and a utility for CI systems that run docker
(e.g. ASF Jenkins). The burst of activity around this release drove a
higher amount of JIRA activity compared to previous period (in both
creation and resolution).

There are also some features under development from new contributors. The
PMC still needs to be more proactive on recognizing these new contributors
with more project responsibilities.

STATS

- Currently 8 PMC members
- Currently 10 committers
- dev list has 42 subscribers (flat from previous period)
- 31 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 29 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and
release processes for software projects.

ISSUES FOR THE BOARD'S ATTENTION

Last report we were asked if we had identified candidates for
committers and PMC additions, and specifically if we were being too
conservative. The PMC has slowly been discussing candidates; we are
probably still being too conservative. As chair I'll be pinging on
this issue again this month.


RELEASES

The community released version 0.4.0 on January 9th, 2017.

ACTIVITY

No new PMC additions in this period; our last PMC addition was Ajay
Yadava on Dec 1st, 2016.

No new committer additions in this period; our last committer
additions were Andrew Wang and Ajay Yadava on Sep 20th, 2016.

The community has had roughly the same low level of activity during
this period as last. Working through the 0.4.0 release revealed some
gaps in our process documentation that caused us to lose some energy
that could have been put towards being responsive to our contributors.

As previously mentioned, I'm looking to rotate the PMC chair some time
in the next reporting period.

STATS

- Currently 8 PMC members
- Currently 10 committers
- dev list has 41 subscribers (flat from previous period)
- 22 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 9 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

21 Dec 2016 [Sean Busbey / Marvin]

Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and
release processes for software projects.

ISSUES FOR THE BOARD'S ATTENTION

Last report we were asked if we had approached VP Legal about our
licensing issue (we had a contribution we had to ultimately reject
because of a hard dependency on a GPL project). We never did approach
VP Legal because the planned new component was not an internal build
tool to our project but something intended to be used by downstream
users of our project. While our most visible downstream users are
currently other ASF projects, our goal remains the wider public good
so the foundation rules around dependency licenses should apply
normally.

RELEASES

None since last report. Last release was version 0.3.0 on May 22nd 2016.

The community is currently working through a 0.4.0 release.

ACTIVITY

Ajay Yadava was added to the PMC during this period (Dec 1st).

Andrew Wang and Ajay Yadava were added as committers during this
period (Sep 20th).

The community had a noticeable plunge in both overall activity and
apparent reviewer bandwidth during this report period. This has been
most apparent in our protracted effort to complete the 0.4.0 release.
The PMC has previously discussed our need to accelerate
responsibilities for new contributors, but the topic needs to be
reviewed again.

Additionally, I'm looking to rotate the PMC chair but none of the
other PMC members have sufficient time to step in. I've agreed to try
to keep finding the time through our March report. I presume the lack
of folks who think they have the extra hour or two per quarter means
our community needs to get aggressive on PMC recruitment in addition
to our need to expand the committer list.

STATS

Apache Yetus provides libraries and tools that enable contribution and
release processes for software projects.

ISSUES FOR THE BOARD'S ATTENTION

None at this time.

RELEASES

None since last report. Last release was version 0.3.0 on May 22nd 2016.

Volunteer bandwidth for release managing is expected in mid-to-late September.

ACTIVITY

No new PMC addition in the last three months.

Last PMC addition was Kengo Seki on February 28th 2016.

No new committer additions in the last three months.

Last committer addition was Marco Zühlke on May 23rd 2016.

In the last three months the project has had an increase in
contributions from new folks and a slight down turn in code from
established committers as a part of normal cyclical volunteer
attention. We remain reliant on a small pool of our volunteers for the
majority of contribution reviews, but the PMC continues to look for
potential new committers.

Members of the HBase, Hadoop, and Kudu communities worked towards
transitioning build tooling they each maintained to track API
compatibility changes in Java projects to a common component in Yetus.
After expending a fair bit of effort, the work had to be abandoned in
favor of per-project tooling due to licensing restrictions on its
dependencies; contributors did not know of a non-GPL alternative to
the base tools for comparing API changes.

Mailing list traffic remains low, with an uptick in September. The
community remains responsive to discussion requests and filed issues,
so we're not concerned.

ACTIVITY

No new PMC addition in the last three months.

Last PMC addition was Kengo Seki on February 28th 2016.

Marco Zühlke was added as a committer on May 23rd 2016.

Since our last report the community has worked on adding some new features for
our existing downstream users, including a new tool for measuring code base
health according to the rules defined in the precommit patch test tool. We've
also been discussing easing getting started with the project through a
combination of additional documentation and making use of the new Apache Help
Wanted tool from comdev.

As planned, our Allen Wittenauer presented the project at ApacheCon BigData
and ApacheCon Core. Additionally he also gave a precommit patch test tool
specific overview to the Apache HBase community at a meetup in San Francisco.

Mailing list traffic remains low, as in prior reports, but less bursty. The
community is still responsive to incoming requests, so we're not concerned.

STATS

- Currently 7 PMC members

None at this time.

RELEASES

Version 0.1.0 was released on December 13th 2015.
Version 0.2.0 was released on March 7th 2016.

ACTIVITY

Kengo Seki was added to the PMC on February 28th 2016.

No new committers in the last three months.

Last new committer was Kengo Seki on December 01, 2015.

The community has just finished laying some process groundwork to make
on-boarding new release managers easier. This culminated in our second release.
This release should be sufficiently stable for us to concentrate more on
evangelism beyond the handful of projects that brought the current contributors
to Yetus in the first place.

Our Allen Wittenauer has talks on Yetus scheduled for ApacheCon Core as well as
ApacheCon BigData. We believe this will be the largest audience the project has
been presented to.

Mailing list traffic remains low, but responsive.

None to date.

ACTIVITY

No new PMC additions in the past three months.

Last PMC addition was formation on September 16, 2015.

Added new committer Kengo Seki on December 01, 2015.

The community is closing in on our first release. We've cleared up
several issues found during testing and are coming to consensus on a
temporary build process for release artifacts.

Mailing list traffic is very low, with most project activity on the issue
tracker. Folks showed up on the list just fine for the announcement of our
committer, so I presume things will shift back to the list as we need to
discuss project direction.

The community continues to move towards our first release. In preparation,
over the last month we've started dog-fooding the components we create,
improved our user facing documentation, and worked with the Apache Hadoop
community to validate our pre-commit patch tester.

Mailing list activity remains low but healthy. We've discussed a few
project direction
issues and fielded some initial interest from other projects.

complete blockers on our first release.

Mailing list activity is low but healthy, with several discussions around
project organization during our first month.
