Hi all, It's reporting time again, so please find a first draft here, if there are any remarks, please reply somewhere in the coming 24hours. I'll add the text to the report tomorrow.
============= Celix Celix is an OSGi like implementation in C with a distinct focus on interoperability between Java and C. Celix has been incubating since 2010-11-02. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Grow the community 2. Find more committers 3. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? Activity on the mailing list is still a bit slow, but there is still progress. But more importantly, the Native-OSGi effort has taken a few big steps. The most important one is the publication of an RFP at the OSGi Alliance [1]. The purpose of this RFP is to standardise OSGi for native (C and C++) languages. After the RFP is finalised work will be started on a RFC, this will be done in conjunction with writing a reference implementation. For this purpose Apache Celix will be used. This also means that C++ will be introduced in the Celix project. Most likely large parts of C++ code will be donated by 2 participants of the Native-OSGi project. This gives us a great opportunity to add extra committers and increase the diversity of Celix. How has the project developed since the last report? As mentioned above, to be able to write a reference implementation for Native-OSGi the scope of Celix will be extended to also include C++. Details of this extension still need to be worked out. But for continuity the current (C) code base will (for now) remain the same. So any work related to Native-OSGi will (for now) be done independently from the current implementation. Also work is underway to make a second release. Whereas the first release focused primarily on the releasing itself, this second release will focus on the actual implementation. Important points are: * API consistency * Win32 support * APR usage More details can be found in [2] Date of last release: 16-12-2012 Please check this [ ] when you have filled in the report for Celix.
