Hi All:
Any and all feedback welcome.
Thank you!

## Description:
- The Apache Commons project focuses on all aspects of reusable Java
components.
- The Apache Commons components are widely used in many projects, both
within
Apache and without. Any ASF committer can commit to Apache Commons.
- The last report was for the meeting of June 21, 2017.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- The project is active with four (4) releases this reporting period.
## Health report:
- Most components in Commons are mature, but are still actively maintained
(4 releases). The dev list is active. JIRA is active. Speed of responses
to users is reasonable in most cases. We have 2 new PMC member, 2 new
committer, and Commons is still open to any Apache Committer.
- We are still experiencing some growing pains toward Commons Math 4. There
is a backlog of issues in JIRA (not unlike other components) but no clear
concensus in the community. Do-ocracy is likely to prevail. There is a
proposal on how to move the code base forward, either as a multi-module
project or multiple components within Commons. All of which can be read
on the developer's mailing list.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 38 PMC members.
- New PMC members:
- Rob Tompkins was added to the PMC on Fri Jun 30 2017
- Pascal Schumacher was added to the PMC on Fri Jun 30 2017
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 146 committers.
- New commmitters:
- Pascal Schumacher was added as a committer on Sat Jul 01 2017
- Carl Franklin Hall was added as a committer on Wed Jul 05 2017
## Releases:
- Apache Commons CSV-1.5 was released on Sat Sep 02 2017
- Apache Commons EMAIL 1.5 was released on Mon Jul 31 2017
- Apache Commons FILEUPLOAD 1.3.3 was released on Mon Jun 12 2017

## JIRA activity:
- 161 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 120 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
[If there are any security issues, these would be added here in a PRIVATE
section, not appropriate for a public list like the dev ML]
