The mission of Apache Fineract is the creation and maintenance of software

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:3.

- One new committer.
## Project Activity:
Release 1.9 on 2024-01-12
Release 1.10.0 process was started in April 2024 but is stalled.
There are open security issues.
## Community Health:
To summarize: We have added one committer recently and had a stream of contributions. We’ve also managed to make some formal Fineract significant improvements projects (FSIP) a visible priority. That said, our community is still struggling to fix key issues or get out a release in recent months. Partly, I think the release process is too complex. We may also have good progress to report out on the testing FSIP, and a goal of making the project easier to build.
