Directory Quarterly Report - April 2015 I have been elected as the new Chairman of the project. I have been contributing to Directory project since January, 2008. I thank my mentors and PMC for entrusting me with this duty.
Current Activity and Status --------------------------- The last three quarters have seen an increased activity on almost all of the Directory projects. After years of stable number of committers and PMC members, we have added 5 new committers (all of them active) and 2 new PMC members (and we are thinking about voting another in) >From the project point of view, we are still moving forward with stable releases, but released as milestones. Hopefully, we can expect an RC for the LDAP API soon, a couple of more milestone for Mavibot, followed by an RC for ApacheDS. At the same time, we are cutting the first RC for Fortress, which was added as a sub-project last September. The release is currently blocked by a problem with Nexus, but that should be solved quickly. We do think that the new Kerberos server (Kerby) will be better than the current implementation we have, and the goal is to simply replace what we have with the new code. At the same time, we will most certainly benefit from some of the modules of this project, like the new ASN.1 codec, for ApacheDS. In the similar fashion, Kerby might benefit from a stable version of Mavibot. Studio is expecting to be released soon too. A new build system is put in place, which lead to a lot of modifications. At the same time, many additional plugins have been injected (template editor, OpenLDAP configuration editor, and we also have a new contribution for an eDirectory configuration editor). There is an increased activity on the user and developer mailing lists. We are quite happy with the recent evolution of the project! ------------------------- Detailed Information ------------------ -- Community -- * One new committer (last previous addition: Feb 2015): * Radovan Semancik * One new PMC member (last previous addition: October 2014). * Pierre Smits * Mailing lists: * Users mailing list: 297 subscribers (+4) * Development mailing list: 175 subscribers (+4) * API mailing list: 68 subscribers (-2) * Fortress mailing list: 19 subscribers (+2) -- Current activity -- * Apache Directory LDAP API: * One release during this quarter. * Good activity * Mainly bug fixes and improvements in schema loaders. * Apache Mavibot: * One release during this quarter. * Good activity * Many smaller fixes. * Work in progress on the freepage management. * ApacheDS: * No new releases during this quarter. * Low activity. * Apache Directory Studio: * No releases during this quarter. * Good activity. * Added support for editing OpenLDAP configuration. * Added template editor. * Apache eSCIMo: * Low activity. * No releases yet. * Fortress: * Good activity preparing for releasing the first version. * Apache Kerby: * Good activity * No releases yet. -- Releases -- * One release for Apache Directory LDAP API: * Apache Directory LDAP API 1.0.0-M29 (March 30th 2015) * One release for Apache Mavibot: * Apache Mavibot 1.0.0-M7 (March 27th 2015) * No releases for ApacheDS: * No releases for Apache Directory Studio. * No releases for Apache eSCIMo, Fortress and Kerby. -- Kiran Ayyagari http://keydap.com
