2019-12-12 Thread Marshall Schor
The board report reminder message came just 1 day before the due date, so I've
gone ahead and submitted this report:

Board report for Apache UIMA, for December 2019.

## Description:
Apache UIMA's mission: the creation and maintenance of open-source software
related to the analysis of unstructured data, guided by the UIMA Oasis
Standard. The software provides frameworks, tools and annotators,
facilitating the analysis of unstructured content such as text, audio and
video.

## Membership Data:
Apache UIMA was founded 2010-03-16 (10 years ago)
There are currently 25 committers and 17 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Viorel Morari was added to the PMC on 2019-11-18
- No new committers. Last addition was Viorel Morari on 2018-09-20.

## Releases:

3 releases in last quarter
uimaj-3.1.1 was released on 2019-11-08.
UIMA Ruta 2.8.0 was released on 2019-11-28.
UIMA Ruta 3.0.0 was released on 2019-12-09.

## Activity:
The uimaj-3.1.1 was the first release of uimaj after
migrating that project from SVN to GIT.

The Ruta 3.0.0 is the first release of Ruta that
depends on the newer release stream of core uima version 3.
 
The uima-cpp subproject was (after many years of
dormancy) upgraded to current levels of C++ compiler tool
chains and associated dependencies; we hope a release will
be forthcoming after some more testing, soon.
 
## Community Health: The community continues to be moderately active.

## Issues: No Board level issues at this time.

Board report for Apache UIMA, for September 2019.

## Description:
Apache UIMA's mission: the creation and maintenance of open-source software
related to the analysis of unstructured data, guided by the UIMA Oasis
Standard. The software provides frameworks, tools and annotators,
facilitating the analysis of unstructured content such as text, audio and

## Membership Data:
Apache UIMA was founded 2010-03-16 (9.5 years ago)
There are currently 25 committers and 16 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Lou DeGenaro on 2016-05-02.
- No new committers. Last addition was Viorel Morari on 2018-09-20.

## Releases:

2 releases in last quarter
uimaj-3.1.0 was released on 2019-08-15.
uimaj-2.10.4 was released on 2019-08-09.

## Board question from last report: druggeri: 
>> It's good to see new contributors.
>> Any prospects for new PMC members... it's been a while.

We do not currently have any new PMC member prospects,
but we keep our eye out for some.

Activity:
  After the release of uimaj, we started the work to migrate
  that project from SVN to GIT.
  This has been a slow and difficult process,  
  due mainly to a couple of things 
 
  1) the documentation for GIT at apache
 leaves several things undocumented, and also includes
 apparently out-of-date information.
 See for example,
 https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/LEGAL/issues/LEGAL-478
 (read the comments)

  2) simple modifications for one's project's GIT repository
 such as renaming a branch, sometimes require filing of
 INFRA Jira issues, and due to current load,
 these appear in their KANBAN queue that's 100's of items long.
 See https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/INFRA, and
 choose the KANBAN view on the left-hand navigation.
 The result is that with the current INFRA staffing resources,
 it can take more than a week to get these acted on.
 
Community Health: The community continues to be moderately active;
some new contributors doing patches.

Issues: No Board level issues at this time.

The move of the UIMA-J code from SVN to Git might be worth mentioning.

I have marked the uimaFIT 3.0.0 release as "released" in Jira such that the
Apache Reporter tool picks it up. It is due for reporting in this period.
