Shindig, a "SocialContainer" is entering Incubation. PDFBox and Bennu (based on the old m0n0wall project) have been proposed to the Incubator. RAT is in the Incubator, and will need to start reporting.
Woden has graduated to the WS Project. FTPServer is in the process of moving to MINA. Yoko (CORBA ORB) is being split up, with parts going to Geronimo and CXF. UIMA, QPid, CXF did releases. A number of new committers and PMC members added. Community diversity is an area that was discussed, especially with Tuscany failing to graduate over concerns related to community diversity. ======================== === Buildr === Description - Buildr is a build system for Java applications written in Ruby. Date of Entry - Nov. 2007 Community --------- The buildr community is transitioning from its older infrastructure to the Apache one. The code has been imported and committers work on the Apache SVN now. The migration of users from buildr-talk at google groups to buildr-user is also happening progressively. Development ----------- Mostly bug fixes and small improvements. There's also work on JRuby support for which patches are submitted regularly from (for now) external contributors. Issues before graduation ------------------------ First we need to fix the IP issues surrounding the Ruby license and our Ruby licensed dependencies before any release can be made. A thread has been started on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and another one is still running on [EMAIL PROTECTED] but we've had few answers so far. We'll probably send a proposition and see if that's acceptable. === OpenEJB === OpenEJB is an open source, modular, configurable, and extendable EJB Container System and EJB Server. Incubating since: 2006-07-10 We received some very excellent feedback we are all really proud of from a new face in the community. OpenEJB has always prided itself for being the kinder, gentler side of open source and it's really good to know this is coming through. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-openejb-dev/200701.mbox/% [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recent New Contributors: Karan Malhi and Raj Saini contributed their first patches. === River === River is aimed at the development and advancement of the Jini technology core infrastructure. Jini technology is a service oriented architecture that defines a programming model which both exploits and extends Java technology to enable the construction of secure, distributed systems which are adaptive to change. The crypto issue mentioned in last report seems to be resolved without doing anything special as it seems to be not necessary based on the (limited) feedback in the legal mailing list. The River community decided to start with a CTR policy although we urge people to consult others before actually committing for all but the trivial cases. We decided we want to use Hudson as our continuous integration engine, but we have to wait a while for a server becomes available to deploy it on, hopefully somewhere in December/January. Work on the first release moved steady as a glacier (global warming seems to have no effect here :-) ) and didn't require much participation of committers due to the set goals. Currently there is no outstanding work for that first release. We are picking and scheduling fixes and features for the next release and are discussing a branching strategy for SVN before we can finally release the trunk to a stampede of hungry people that will crash into the codebase to make it better. Incubating since: December 2006 === Imperius === Imperius has been incubating since November 2007. Imperius is a rule-based infrastructure management tool Infrastructure has been partly set up. Mailing lists for dev, commits, private, and user are operational. The repository has been set up. Community Two of the original committers have had accounts created. We are waiting for the arrival of ICLAs for the others. === JSPWiki === JSPWiki has been incubating since September 2007. JSPWiki is a JSP-based wiki program. The final JSPWiki LGPL release has been postponed due to a large number of security vulnerabilities that were disclosed to us right before the release, so unfortunately that has also delayed the move of the codebase under ASF's infrastructure. The JSPWiki user community is in the process of transition from outside Apache. There are close to 100 subscribers to the user list. The developer list has meanwhile continued growing, and new people have come forward with patches and expressions of interest on working on the code. === Sanselan === Sanselan has been in incubation since September 2007. Sanselan is a pure-java image library for reading and writing a variety of image formats. The community is still small, with a few more members now compared to the beginning. The code base has been imported and the package names have been changed to org.apache.sanselan. A release is being prepared. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
