Artemis

What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.

These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.

Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

## Description:

microservices and cloud-native applications.

## Project Status:
Current project status: New
Issues for the board: None

## Membership Data:
Apache Artemis was founded 2025-11-18 (3 months ago)
There are currently 64 committers and 30 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
The Artemis TLP membership was initially a full copy of the ActiveMQ TLP
with the same PMC members and committers so everyone retained the same rights
as before the split.

Andy Taylor was added as a PMC member on 11th December 2025.

## Project Activity:
Apache Artemis was established on 2025-11-18 after splitting out from Apache
ActiveMQ. Since then, work continued towards completing the migration with aim
towards doing the first Apache Artemis releases. Business also continues as
usual in terms of addressing user bug reports and functionality requests.

Version 2.50.0 was released as the first release since establishing the TLP,
with various branding updates to the code and documentation to reflect the new
project. The Maven module groupId was switched to org.apache.artemis in the
artemis, artemis-console, and artemis-examples repos, with relocation poms
published to help alert users of the prior ActiveMQ Artemis modules to the
switch and allow for them to transition their builds over time.

A candidate for Apache Artemis 2.51.0 is currently under vote.

Releases:
* Apache Artemis Console 1.6.0 was released on 2026-02-03.
* Apache Artemis 2.50.0 was released on 2026-01-23.
* Apache Artemis Console 1.5.0 was released on 2026-01-13.

ActiveMQ. Since then, work has continued towards completing the migration with
aim towards being ready to do the first Apache Artemis releases. Business is
also continuing as usual in terms of addressing user bug reports and
functionality requests.

Since the December report, many more updates have been made towards readying
for Apache Artemis releases. Work was undertaken to update the management
console branding / visual identity to reflect the separation and give the new
Apache Artemis releases an distinct look. Many updates have been made to the
documentation to address the new project identity. The next release version
was advanced from 2.45.0 to 2.50.0 to add a small gap to signal the
transition, and generally just serve as a nicer transition reference point
going forward. The Maven module groupId was switched to org.apache.artemis in
the artemis, artemis-console, and artemis-examples repos, with relocation poms
to redirect users from the previous ActiveMQ Artemis modules to signal the
switch and allow for them to transition their builds over time.

A candidate for Apache Artemis Console 1.5.0 is currently under vote, towards
being used soon in an Apache Artemis 2.50.0 release once some remaining work
on the transition is complete.

## Project Activity:
Apache Artemis was established 20 days ago after splitting out from Apache
ActiveMQ. Activity has thus far centered mostly on working with with Infra
to set up the new project resources, and then updating websites etc for both
Artemis and ActiveMQ accordingly as they became available.

- New mailing lists were established.
- A new website was established.
- Worked with the ASF M&P team who announced the new TLP.
- The git repositories have been renamed and moved to the Artemis TLP.
- The ARTEMIS Jira project was moved to the Artemis TLP.
- Emails such as commits/PRs/issues updates have been switched to the
  appropriate new Artemis mailing lists.
- The ActiveMQ website has been updated to remove the Artemis content, with
  a few small hints/notices left to aid users understand the change,
  and redirects to the Artemis website for key Artemis content subtrees.

Business is continuing as usual as resources are being updated with aim
towards being able to do the first Apache Artemis releases soon.

The community is healthy and there should be little impact to users as
everything transitions to the new TLP.
