Hi all, please see below for our July 2020 Board Report
(bcc: derby-dev, jdo-dev, torque-dev)
=================================================
## Description:
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 at this time

## Membership Data:
Apache DB was founded 2002-07-16 (18 years ago)
There are currently 47 committers and 44 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Tilmann Zäschke on 2019-02-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Laura Stewart on 2019-03-08.

## Project Activity:
Derby-10.15.2.0 was released on 2020-02-18.

The JDO community continue to work on preparing the 3.2 release.

The Derby community has voted to sunset support for Java 9 and 10.

## Community Health:
The DB project communities have been fairly quiet. I think that the
overall reduction in activity is probably to a major extent due to
the international health challenges around COVID-19. But traffic
on the email lists and issue trackers continues at a mostly typical pace.
