related to a standalone resource scheduler responsible for scheduling batch
jobs and long-running services on large scale distributed systems running in
on-premises environments as well as different public clouds

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, with high activity.
Issues for the board: No issues to report.

## Membership Data:
Apache YuniKorn was founded 2022-03-16 (a year ago)
There are currently 32 committers and 27 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:7.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Yu Teng Chen was added to the PMC on 2023-06-06

## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
1.3.0 was released on 2023-06-12.
1.2.0 was released on 2023-02-02.

The community is working on release 1.4.0 with a planned release in October

with corresponding GitHub PRs: 184 created and 178 resolved. The number of
old open Jiras is decreasing slowly as part of each new release.

We're working on some long term goals around: performance and plugin deployment
GA. Both Kubernetes dependency update and event system are part of that vision.
We have reached out to other opensource projects (Ray and Karpenter) to
work on integrations.
