... is attached. It is due July 11th. I get back from vacation on July 8th. If anyone thinks there should be modifications, please post before that date.
Thanks! Karl [REPORT] ManifoldCF Board Report, ManifoldCF PMC ManifoldCF PMC Chair: Karl Wright ([email protected]) Date: July 2012 Project description ============== ManifoldCF is an effort to provide an open source framework for connecting source content repositories like Microsoft Sharepoint and EMC Documentum, to target repositories or indexes, such as Apache Solr , OpenSearchServer or ElasticSearch. ManifoldCF also defines a security model for target repositories that permits them to enforce source-repository security policies. Milestones ======== ManifoldCF graduated from the Apache Incubator on May 16, 2012, one day after the latest major release on May 15, 2012. Since then, there has been a limited point release as well (on May 22, 2012), and the next major software release is planned for the first two weeks of July. Mailing list activity ============== The mailing lists have been relatively quiet for the latter part of June. Vacation time has started in Europe and this has reduced MCF's dev and user list activity, as it always does. There has been some activity following up on the SharePoint 2010 issues and the session-based web crawling. Also, dev list discussion has taken place about how to store exported configuration information securely, and invaluable testing contributions made by certain individuals who work for qBase, Inc., who donated their time to this endeavor to further the project. I am unaware of any mailing-list question that has gone unanswered. Committer and PMC membership ======================== The last new committer signed on was in February, 2012. Since then we've had a number of offers for contribution from outside the community but insufficient demonstrated commitment to offer committership or PMC membership to any individual. We are actively working to have a broader committer base, as always, and try to maintain an encouraging attitude towards new contributors. Branding ====== We are aware of no current violations of the Apache ManifoldCF brand. Legal ==== The only outstanding legal issue we had pertained to how we interface to .NET services. The ticket was LEGAL-137, which has now been resolved. As a result, ManifoldCF trunk code has been updated accordingly. Infrastructure ========== All infrastructure issues related to graduation have been satisfactorally resolved. The build and release process has been successfully updated (CONNECTORS-474) to take into account Apache requirements for availability of proprietary software to release engineers. We are no longer using any Incubator resources.
