So here is the draft of the December report. I've already added it to the wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/December2012. Roman has also already signed off. Any other comments/suggestions?
Chris/Suresh could you guys also sign off if you think this is in good shape? Cheers, Adam ------ Hadoop Development Tools Eclipse based tools for developing applications on the Hadoop platform. Entered 11/09/2012 Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: - Finish on boarding the podling. Including infra work (waiting on a git repository to be created see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5512), completing the podlings.xml and then IP clearance for code and committers. - Porting and releasing existing codebase to support multiple versions of Hadoop in a single IDE instance. During this time building understanding of the Apache processes around working and releasing. - Grow the podling community in terms of users and contributors. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? - As mentioned above, we have been waiting on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5512 for over three weeks, not having our git repository is a big barrier to progress. How has the community developed since the last report? - The only change in the community was the withdrawal of Chris Douglas as mentor, replaced by Suresh Marru. - Committers are currently in the process of filing ICLAs How has the project developed since the last report? - The project hasn't moved a lot due to not yet completing the podling on boarding.
