Hello all, I prepared the draft for September 2022, I'm planning to submit it tomorrow in the afternoon. Feedback are welcome.
## Description: The mission of Apache Camel is the creation and maintenance of an open-source integration framework based on known Enterprise Integration Patterns. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Camel was founded 2008-12-17 (14 years ago) There are currently 81 committers and 41 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Antonin Stefanutti on 2022-01-28. - No new committers. Last addition was Nicolas Filotto on 2022-03-01. ## Project Activity: - We released Camel 3.14.4 - We released Camel 3.14.5 - We released Camel 3.18.0 - We released Camel 3.18.1 - We released Camel 3.18.2 - Note: Camel releases have synchronized releases of Camel-Karaf and Camel-Spring-Boot too - We released 3.14.4 and 3.14.5: This is an LTS release train. We are going to continue releasing 3.14.x. - We released a new LTS release train, with 3.18.x. We are already releasing new patch releases for this LTS release train and we're planning to do so for one year. - We released Camel K 1.10.0 - Related to Camel K we have also Camel K Runtime and Camel-Kamelets releases - We released Camel K Runtime 1.14.0 - We released Camel Kameletes 0.9.0 - We are improving the Camel-K experience and we are increasing the Kamelets number, to provide new way of composing integrations. - The Camel-Quarkus work is going ahead following the main camel releases with multiple releases - We released Camel-quarkus 2.7.2 - We released Camel-quarkus 2.10.0 - We released Camel-quarkus 2.11.0 - Camel-Kameleon and Camel-Karavan are improving and there is a raise of interest in the community. We are improving the projects by supporting new features and aligning with Camel 3.18.x releases. - Apache Camel was present at ApacheCon Asia in multiple presentations of integration track. - Apache Camel will be present at ApacheCon NA with multiple presentations in the integration track. ## Community Health: - dev@camel.apache.org had a 4% increase in traffic in the past quarter (454 emails compared to 436): There is a little increase because we had some feedback from user migrating from old Camel 3.x to latest LTS 3.18.x. - iss...@camel.apache.org had a 22% increase in traffic in the past quarter (2125 emails compared to 1734): This is related to some new features we are adding to the development release of Camel 3 torwards 3.18.0 LTS. - us...@camel.apache.org had a 5% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (315 emails compared to 330): The situation is more or less the same of last quarter, the 3.14.x LTS is solid so we have probably less traffic and less feedback. - 287 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (28% decrease) and 611 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (73% increase): We are in a stabilization phase for Camel 3.18.x and the LTS are more or less stable, so there is less activity on JIRA. The increase in closed issues is related to some cleanup activities of JIRA during this quarter. - 201 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter (-13% change) and 190 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (-19% change): We are slowing down on issue opened on camel-kamelets for example and we are looking at backlog. Note: Github issues are related to all the subprojects different from Camel/Camel-Karaf/Camel-Spring-Boot - 3113 commits in the past quarter (14% decrease) and 121 code contributors in the past quarter (3% decrease): As said above the camel codebase is stabilizing around the LTS 3.18.x, so we are focusing a bit more on stabilizing the codebase but also introducing new features with a slower cadence - 1068 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (10% decrease) and 1073 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (8% decrease): on some of the subprojects the activity is slowing down for stabilization reasons, so there are less PRs. This should change a bit in the next quarter since we are going to align all the subprojects to 3.18.x LTS release of main Camel project.
