## Description: The mission of Apache Geode is the creation and maintenance of software related to a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures. ## Issues: 296 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-16% decrease) 226 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-26% decrease) Given the worldwide impact of the Covid-19 pandemic disruption to our community's work routines, we feel these figures, though lower than those of the previous reporting period, reveal an engaged and productive development community. ## Membership Data: Apache Geode was founded 2016-11-15 (3 years ago) There are currently 109 committers and 54 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4.
