The Accumulo community decided to draft the Apache community reports on the
Accumulo dev list – and this is a draft of the January report for review /
comments. The report is due by Wednesday, April 9th.

The following is cut-n-paste directly from the tool - formatting

## Description:
The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based
access control and customizable server-side processing.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with high activity

Issues for the board: Discussion on folding Fluo under the Accumulo PMC.

The question has been raised by an ASF Director about the status of Fluo
[1].

Fluo is a distinct and separate project that builds on Accumulo.  The
Accumulo
and Fluo PMCs need to start a public discussion on how the Accumulo PMC can
take ownership of the Fluo code base and if Fluo is maintained as a separate
repo, keeping the current Fluo branding or somehow made a sub-project of
Accumulo. Keeping the Fluo branding and repo may be the preferred approach,
but may require additional guidance and coordination with the Board.

## Project Activity:

### Releases:
- accumulo-1.10.4 (legacy) was released on 2023-11-16.
- accumulo-2.1.3 (LTM) was released on 2024-08-12.
- accumulo-3.0.0 was released on 2023-08-21.
- accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta was released on 2024-02-17.

### Planned Release Activity:

Release planning for 2.1.4, 3.1 and 4.0 has been started on the dev list
[2].
The release work for 2.1.4 is under way. The 3.1 branch has being prepared
for
release with the deprecations required by semver to mark removals that are
planned to occur in the 4.0 release.

The upcoming 4.0 release will be a significant change to Accumulo and is an
evolution of the processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide
elasticity for improved cost and performance management.

## Community Health:
Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. The
email traffic reflects the community preference of using GitHub projects and
issues for PRs discussions. We also use our slack channel for day-to-day
communications. We continue to use the mailing list for official Apache
business and it remains a channel for users to contact us.
