Below is my proposal for the status report for review and comment. -----------------------
Project Name: Apache Flex Summary: A highly energetic community waits for Adobe to transition code and infrastructure. Date of entry to the Incubator: December 31, 2011 Top four items to resolve before graduation: 1. Resolve trademark donation or licensing 2. Complete code and bug database donation 3. Make at least one release 4. Add new committers Is there anything that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board specifically needs to address? The ASF legal team will have to work with Adobe on the Trademark licensing issue. Adobe legal is still drafting the proposal before presenting to Apache. Are there any legal, infrastructure, cross-project or personal issues that need to be addressed? (Are there any stumbling blocks that impede the podling?) Besides the trademark issue mentioned previously, the code donation and bug database donation are being slowed by infrastructure issues at both Adobe and Apache, mainly the lack of ways to easily transfer multi-GB files. Check that the project's Incubation Status file up to date. (Also provide the URL.) http://incubator.apache.org/projects/flex What has been done (releases, milestones, etc.) since the last report? An initial set of Flex source (minus Subversion history) was checked into the whiteboard area of the podling¹s Subversion repository. A logo contest was held. Over 50 entries were submitted. The mailing lists were established. Over 200 people joined in the first 30 days and the traffic averaged over 100 emails a day. It has quieted down now that the logo contest has concluded. What are the plans and expectations for the next period? Adobe expects to complete the transfer of the bug database and the initial set of code with history. Adobe also hopes to contribute the compiler and test suite as well. And there is hope for an initial release. Are there any recommendations for how incubation could run more smoothly for you? Incubation has been working well. Our mentors are great. -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
