[confluence]

Board Report March 2012 Page added by Michael Gentry Apache Cayenne(TM) is an open source persistence framework licensed under the Apache License, providing object-relational mapping (ORM) and remoting services. Development 3.1 Milestone 3 release announced on September 27. Work on 3.0.3 (Stable/Bug Fixes) and 3.1 (Milestone 4) releases continue. Google Summer of Code completed creating a working and usable Eclipse plugin for Cayenne Modeler which now needs to be integrated into the main distribution. DocBook migration of Confluence documentation continues. Web site Highlighting unfinished items from Branding Requirements (per http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs ) Website Navigation Links: navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included -> Needs work. Consider how to rearrange navigation to avoid confusion between links which leave the Cayenne site and those which don't. Logos and Graphics: include TM, use consistent product logo on your site -> OK, other than 'tm' symbols Further work on the website styling on hold pending our evaluation of Apache CMS as a replacement for Confluence (for the pages which aren't product documentation). Community Christian Grobmeier published two articles about Cayenne (written in German) in JavaMagazin. In October, an introductory article about Cayenne and in November, an article illustrating Cayenne's Remote Objects features. Mailing list activity is average on developer and user lists. The user list and developer list are both seeing new names appear as more people seem interested in Cayenne and are exploring it. Also a number of bug reports and patches have filtered into JIRA from these newcomers. Change Notification Preferences View Online | Add Comment
