This looks good to me.

As part of our transition to an Apache top level project (TLP), we are

for July, which needs to be forwarded in a couple days. (I'll also

nothing non-public we need to worry about). Comments?

Apache Shale Board Report for July 2006
=======================================
Overview
--------
Per the Apache Board resolution at the June 2006 meeting, Apache
Shale was
created as a top level project. This is the first of the "every
month for
the
first three months" status reports to the Board on activities
within the
project.
All of the initial root and infrastructure requests have been
completed. We
are still de-tangling a few loose ends (wiki and JIRA instance
shared with
the
Struts project), but these are not considered to be urgent.
PMC and Committer Changes
-------------------------
None.
Current Development Activities
------------------------------
As the creation of Shale as a TLP was coming to fruition, we had
nearly
completed a migration to a Maven2 based build environment. This
work has
been substantially completed, and Shale is now completely M2 based
for its
build infrastructure. Nightly builds are still currently hosted on my
(Craig's) home desktop, but steps are underway to migrate this to a
Continuum
instance on Apache infrastructure.
We have initiated a contest to pick an official logo for the Apache
Shale
project -- details are at <http://wiki.apache.org/shale/LogoContest
>. The
entries so far have ranged from humorous to compelling ... it will be
interesting
to pick a final winner.
Current release activities are focused on a 1.0.3 release, which is
still
likely
to be considered "beta" quality (due to dependence on unreleased
components,
plus some outstanding bugs), but which has been requested by some
downstream
users to avoid their need to depend on snapshots.
