RE: Draft Kibble Board Report
That looks a bit messy so let's try it again: Hi All It's report time again. Unfortunately over the last quarter we haven't had any real activity. I'll post a separate message on my thoughts on how we can try to improve that. In the mean time I've drafted our quarterly board report. (See below). Happy to get any comments, feedback or updates to the draft over the next couple of days - and will aim to finalise and post it to the board meeting calendar on 14th February. Thanks Sharan == ## Description: The mission of Apache Kibble is the creation and maintenance of software related to an interactive project activity analyzer and aggregator ## Project Status: Current project status: Dormant, low activity Issues for the board: None ## Membership Data: Apache Kibble was founded 2017-10-18 (6 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 13 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:7. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Michał Słowikowski on 2021-05-03. - No new committers. Last addition was Kaxil Naik on 2021-02-21. ## Project Activity: The project has not yet made a release. There has been no activity since our last report and our mailing lists have been quiet. It was hoped that we could begin to kick off some activity in the previous quarter but this has not happened. ## Community Health: We are a small community and perhaps just need to start something rather than taking on a large activity such as a complete codebase rewrite (which was our planned intention). We are probably losing potential contributors due to incomplete documentation so kicking off a small activity such as cleaning up our existing documentation could be a way of gathering more community participation. By mid to late March I should have more free cycles to begin that documentation tidy up work and we will see what results that brings.

Re: Draft Kibble Board Report
Looks good to me. Well aware (painfully aware?) of the low activity, and I do have some prototypes almost ready to start pushing, along with some basic CI testing. I am currently trying to figure out the best approach here, but will follow up in a separate thread.

Thanks Sharan ## Description: The mission of Apache Kibble is the creation and maintenance of software related to an interactive project activity analyzer and aggregator ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing, low activity. Issues for the board: None. ## Membership Data: Apache Kibble was founded 2017-10-17 (6 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 13 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:7. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Michał Słowikowski on 2021-05-02. - No new committers. Last addition was Kaxil Naik on 2021-02-21. ## Project Activity: The project has not yet made a release. Very little activity again during the quarter and still trying to find free cycles to work on a release of previous Kibble version and a roadmap for what the new Kibble could look like. We've had a documentation contribution [1] from a new contributor and also some interest from someone trying out an install [2]. ## Community Health: The community is small and we know that we need to start focussing on building it up to be more sustainable but we first need to have work on defining the project vision and roadmap of where we want the project to go. I still think putting out a Kibble-1 release will help separate the previous version from the new one that we'd like to build.
