Team, Here is the April board report I submitted. Thanks for all the continued great progress!
## Description: The mission of NiFi is the creation and maintenance of software related to providing an easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data. Apache NiFi MiNiFi is an edge data collection agent built to seamlessly integrate with and leverage the command and control of NiFi. There are both Java and C++ implementations. Apache NiFi Registry is a centralized registry for key configuration items including flow versions, assets, and extensions for Apache NiFi and Apache MiNiFi. Apache NiFi Nar Maven Plugin is a release artifact used for supporting the NiFi classloader isolation model. Apache NiFi Flow Design System is a theme-able set of high quality UI components and utilities for use across the various Apache NiFi web applications in order to provide a more consistent user experience. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache NiFi was founded 2015-07-14 (6 years ago) There are currently 53 committers and 33 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - Joey Frazee was added to the PMC on 2021-03-24 - Adam Debreceni was added as committer on 2021-01-20 - David Handermann was added as committer on 2021-01-20 - Ferenc Gerlits was added as committer on 2021-03-26 - Otto Fowler was added as committer on 2021-03-22 - Tamas Palfy was added as committer on 2021-01-20 ## Project Activity: NiFi 1.13.2 was released on 2021-03-20 NiFi 1.13.1 was released on 2021-03-15 NiFi MiNiFi CPP 0.9.0 was released on 2021-02-26 NiFi 1.13.0 was released on 2021-02-16 The releases of the Apache NiFi 1.13.x line and MiNiFi CPP 0.9.x line again represent hundreds of JIRAs and months of contributions within the community. They bring important features, improvements, bug fixes, and security fixes. Substantial improvements have been made that reduce the NiFi convenience binary by several hundred MB which is a great start in our journey to a more appropriate size. We will eventually have the core NiFi application/kernel then users can source extensions at runtime on demand from artifact repositories. ## Community Health: We have seen a huge increase in developer list email count increasing by more than 100% to 415 emails in the quarter. Our users list increased activity in terms of email count by nearly 20%. We saw a decrease in JIRA issues opened/closed by about 15% to total of 135 issues closed this past quarter in the NIFI JIRA alone. We saw in increase in the number of unique contributors by nearly 20% to a total 64 contributors of source in this reporting period. The total number of commits in that period increased 73%. The number of PRs opened and closed during the quarter increased 50% to around 320+. In recognition of the various discussions we've had on this topic in the community this past year and the continued challenge we've had staying on top off PR reviews and pruning those that won't be merged we finally implemented a stale marker and auto-close Github action to keep these manageable. We used other Apache projects as a guide. We'll keep an eye on the impact this has both positive and negative over the next few quarters. Thanks Joe
