Apache Jackrabbit : Board Report March 2019

Board report March 2019:

## Description: 
 The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming
 implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ Technology API
 (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content 
 repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being
 maintained. 
 Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant 
 hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache
 Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the 
 foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding  
 content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not 
 implement all optional features from the JSR specifications and it 
 is not a reference implementation. 
   
## Issues: 
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time   
   
## Activity: 
Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All 
maintenance branches and the unstable development branch are 
continuously seeing moderate to high activity.

We made our 5th major release of Oak (1.10) in January. 

Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of 
the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly
driven by dependencies from Oak.

We are currently discussing a new release strategy for Oak. The aim
is to facilitate managing our many branches, releasing of tools and
aligning with Oracle's changes in their release and support model
for Java. See https://s.apache.org/oM0w, https://s.apache.org/0UKO 
and https://s.apache.org/tk9u on oak-dev for details. 

## Health report: 
The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic on all 
mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective component. 

There is a wide range of topics being discussed on the dev and user
lists as well as on the various JIRA issues. 

Commit activity is moderate to high mirroring the activity on the 
JIRA issues and the desire of the individual contributors to bring
the features in for Oak 1.10.
