- Recently, IBM posted a contribution of a JDBC network client driver. The community voted to accept the submission, but there is some question as to whether or not such a significant contribution is covered by the original Derby Software Grant or whether it will require a new one.
- The Derby logo vote was temporarily shelved due to voting irregularities. - Derby has satisifed all requirements necessary to graduate from incubation except for diversity of committership. Recent discussions on [EMAIL PROTECTED] seem to point to this being the only barrier to graduation that needs to be overcome. Jeremy Boynes was added as a committer earlier this year, but he remains the only non-IBM committer. New developers are getting up to speed, however, as evidenced by the acceptance of recent contributions by non-IBM developers Tomohito Nakayama and Shreyas Kaushik. - mailing list activity continues to grow steadily, both in number of subscribers and in overall activity. Recent stats show about 1000 posts to derby-dev in the last 3 months, around 2700 total in the nine months since inception, and about 500 posts to derby-user since inception. andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
