Report
## Description
Apache Fineract (\’fīn-,ә-,rakt\) is an open source system for core banking as
a platform. Fineract provides a reliable, robust, and affordable solution for
entrepreneurs, financial institutions, and service providers to offer
financial services to the world’s 2 billion underbanked and unbanked.
## Issues
Pull request backlog for Fineract 1.x: there are 28 open pull requests.
## Activity
Two active development areas:
- Fineract 1.x
- FIneract-CN (including microservices front end UI)
GSOC is winding down. Fineract has four GSoC interns:
- Dilpreet Singh
- Ebenezer Graham
- Ruphine Kengne
- Pembe Miriam
Newly selected committer, Aleksander Vidakovic is configuring the Apache VM infrastructure for a public demo server for Fineract CN - a request for additional infrastructure was made to Apache board and approved. Progress is slow because we're all doing it in our free time.
OSCON - Fineract attendees included Myrle and Ed, both gave talks that included Fineract articulation.
ApacheCon, keynote, three talks and a dinnertime meetup. Fineract is especially grateful that so many members of our project could attend on TAC.
Fineract CN APIs documentation completed
Lowering barriers to contribution is being discussed, with the idea that non-committers can also review pull requests.
Lazy consensus has been adopted and documented in Committer's Zone
Fineract 1.x was moved to gitbox to make merging PR's easier.
## Health report
Community development is ticking along, PR's are coming in. On Fineract CN they are mostly being merged; on Fineract 1.x we need to improve. On the whole, we're doing well.
