Here is the report I submitted, please let me know of
any concerns.

=============================================
## Description:
The mission of the Apache DB project is to create and maintain
commercial-quality, open-source, database solutions based on software licensed
to the Foundation, for distribution at no charge to the public.
The Apache DB TLP consists of the following subprojects:
o Derby : a relational database implemented entirely in Java.
o JDO : focused on building the API and the TCK for compatibility
testing of Java Data Object implementations providing data
persistence.
o Torque : an object-relational mapper for Java.
## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing, with moderate activity
Issues for the board: none
## Membership Data:
Apache DB was founded 2002-07-16 (22 years ago)
There are currently 48 committers and 46 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Max Philipp Wriedt on 2024-07-03.
- No new committers. Last addition was Max Philipp Wriedt on 2023-04-14.
## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
Torque 6.0 was released on 2024-05-22.
Derby-10.17.1.0 was released on 2023-11-14.
## Community Health:
As is common for the DB community, the summer quarter was quiet.
In the JDO community, regular weekly developer meetings
continue to happen, and the community continue to work to
optimize the TCK.
In the Torque community, some smaller code changes did happen
and the discussion about Java 17 in the dev mailing list is
now almost closed with consistently positive support.
Preparation for this is under way. Alongside this discussion,
proposals were made like moving to GIT, modernize template code,
add/use a gradle build plugin with kotlin, which are in
the state of further consideration.
In the Derby community, several questions were asked
and answered on the mailing lists and some new bugs were filed.
