Hi folks, Time for another board report (actually a little behind schedule since they want it by Wednesday).
Please review and comment. Thanks, -Alex ------------------ Apache Flex is an application framework for easily building Flash-based applications for mobile devices, the browser and desktop. RELEASES -Apache Flex SDK 4.15.0 was released on 1/9/16. -Apache FlexJS 0.5.0 was released on 11/14/15. -Apache Flex FalconJX 0.5.0 was released on 11/14/15. -Apache Flex BlazeDS 4.7.2 was released on 11/16/15. -Apache Flex Tour De Flex Component Explorer 1.2 was released on 11/28/14. -Apache Flex Tool API 1.0.0 was released on 11/20/14 -Apache Flex Squiggly 1.1 was released on 10/26/14 -Apache Flex Installer 3.2.0 was released on 6/23/15. ACTIVITY The past three months saw the release of Apache Flex SDK 4.15.0. Bug fix activity continues on even after the release. There seems to be gradually increasing interest in FlexJS, a version of Flex that is independent from the Adobe Flash Platform. We continue to see new names with new questions. Some potential committers are hopefully among them. Three members of the PMC are hosting a FlexJS education and training event in San Francisco on April 4. Work on Maven integration continues. 3 PMC members had presentations accepted for ApacheCon NA. The Flex community tried to coordinate a Client Track for ApacheCon with folks from the Cordova community, but apparently the Linux Foundation wasn't interested in having such a track since some presentations were rejected. A revamp of the flex.a.o website is underway. It isn't ready for branding review just yet. CODE ADOPTION In the prior report we discussed the adoption of non-ASF code bases that are already licensed under ALv2. I think the community will eventually undertake one or more of the adoptions utilizing advice from the board but it didn't happen this quarter simply from lack of a volunteer to make it happen. COMMUNITY -Andy Dufilie was added as a committer. -No new PMC members this quarter. -Last PMC addition was Josh Tynjala on Wed Sep 16 2015 -A few PMC members were nominated for ASF membership. -Latest analytics include a little less than XXX hits per day on the website during the work week (less on weekends). -There were more than XXX installs of Apache Flex 4.15.0 since its release in January. -Almost ZZZZ people have run the Tour De Flex application. Tour De Flex is a set of examples folks use to learn how to develop Flex applications. TRADEMARKS -In the last report, we reported that a company is promoting a software product called Flex that appears to be related to themes/styles for website visuals. Despite several attempts to contact them, they have not responded. We will start a thread on trademarks@ shortly to determine the next steps. -A trademark issue with an com.br website was handled and closed.
