Community
I asked the PMC to consider a new Chair, as I have been in the role for over 2 years now. The PMC voted that I should continue in the role, and I have agreed to do so for a while longer. We have identified a potential new contributor/committer and the PMC also voted to increase the minimum Java version to 1.6, starting from the next release

XML GRAPHICS COMMONS
8 separate commits to SVN, of which 6 were general bug fixes, 1 was check style related, and the last was to ensure compatibility with Java 8. A release is planned in the next quarter
There were no releases this quarter.
The latest release is 1.5 (20 October 2012)
FOP
116 e-mails on fop-user mailing list this quarter; a few questions asked by users and answered by committers. Some new bugs logged and several patches have been submitted and processed. 85 separate commits in total to SVN. A vote to merge the finished font merging code into trunk passed in the last few days. Discussions have started on release planning. However, since an optional component of FOP has a snapshot dependency on PDFBox 2.0, we are unsure whether to release FOP now and the component later or to release both once PDFBox 2.0 is available.
