## Apache BVal Report March 2017 ## - The Apache BVal project implements the Java EE Bean Validation specification(s) and related extensions, and became a top-level project of the foundation on February 15, 2012. ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: - None to speak of this quarter, which is normal for BVal: occasionally there is a frenzy of activity to effect a release, but these are punctuated by relative silence. As mentioned in previous reports, the specification process for Java Bean Validation 2.0 proceeds and seems to be nearing completion. There will be a resumption of activity in this project in response to that. ## Health report: - The project staff remains busy elsewhere, for the most part. BVal is curated on a obligation basis more than anything else at this point. It is perhaps not the ideal scenario for project health, but it remains tenable. ## PMC changes: - Currently 14 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Romain Manni-Bucau on Mon Nov 18 2013 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 14 committers. - No new changes to the committer base since last report. - Last committer addition was Romain Manni-Bucau on Sun Jun 23 2013 ## Releases: - Last release was 1.1.2 on Wed Nov 02 2016 ## Mailing list activity: - The following statistics reflect the ebb in activity subsequent to the previous release. - dev@bval.apache.org: - 44 subscribers (up 1 in the last 3 months): - 7 emails sent to list (75 in previous quarter) - user@bval.apache.org: - 53 subscribers (up 2 in the last 3 months): - 4 emails sent to list (3 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - N/A
