Team,
Here is the submitted board report. Thanks again to all for
continuing to make this a great project and useful tool for people and
organizations all over the world!
## 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.

## Project Activity:
The NiFi community released NiFi 1.22.0 Jun 2023 and NiFi 1.21.0 in Apr 2023.
Each release provided new features, stability, and addressed reported
vulnerabilities within NiFi and dependencies. Meanwhile the community is
rapidly approaching a NiFi 2.0 major release already containing more than 466
changes. The MiNiFiCPP project also released 0.14.0 in April and we've
released the latest NiFi Nar Maven Plugin version 1.5.1 in June.
## Community Health:
Community health remains strong and we see high activity across the various
channels of contribution and engagement including JIRA, Github, Slack, Mailing
Lists and so on. Meetups are less common these days but we still see good
activity in conferences, blog posts, and more. We also continue to enjoy
excellent engagement for discussions, voting threads, and release candidate
evaluation. Slack remains a super popular point of engagement and we've grown
again this quarter to more than 2700 people in our 'general' slack channel
alone. The dev mailing list activity was 20% higher this quarter than last
while the user list is less active. Much of the user list activity has
moved to slack as we've reported for a while now but still the user list is
an effective tool for collaboration with more than 100 emails in this quarter.
Via JIRA, commits, and our issues list we still see a lot of activity and even
growth in activity this quarter. Importantly our rate of PR activity remains
high with more than 350+ PRs in the quarter again but importantly we have more
closed than opened showing we're finally turning the corner in this regard.
Some of the activity levels and commit levels reflect that we're managing
actively both the 1.x and 2.x release lines now so we do anticipate many of
these productivity metrics will drop in the coming quarters as we get the 2.0
release out and stable.
