## 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. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache DB was founded 2002-07-16 (18 years ago) There are currently 46 committers and 45 PMC members in this project. Community changes, past quarter: - Georg Kallidis was added to the PMC on 2020-08-26 - Jeffery Painter was added to the PMC on 2020-08-26 - Long time Torque committer and PMC member Thomas Fox has retired from the project. ## Project Activity: - Torque 5.0 was released on 2020-09-22. The Torque community is grateful to Infra for help in resolving a website publishing issue (INFRA-20929) - JDO completed the migration of the code repository from svn to git and the web presence to a new repository in git - The Derby community has not yet made the transition from Jenkins to CloudBees. We are not blocked by anything; we just haven't yet found the time. ## Community Health: It was a quiet quarter, possibly due to worldwide COVID concerns. But overall the DB community continues to be healthy, with two new PMC members added and a new release (Torque 5.0) published. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: torque-dev-unsubscr...@db.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: torque-dev-h...@db.apache.org
