Highlights OpenJPA continues to implement the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is inProposed Final Draft status. The latest draft was issued 13-March-2009 and
contains several very large changes that will keep the project busy for another few months. Additionally, the spec has continued to evolve after the publication of the PFD.
OpenJPA still has a Field Of Use problem with the draft JPA 2.0 specification license. The license contains language restricting distribution of the early
implementation of JSR-317. The way we read this is that OpenJPA will be unable to offer an early release of OpenJPA that supports JPA 2.0 untiland unless 2.(iii) is amended to remove the clause "is made available for
testing and evaluation purposes only".This issue was raised with Geir Magnusson, Apache VP, JCP on February 3, 2009,
and is still unresolved. CommunityDonald Woods was offered, and he accepted, committer status on the project.
Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 500
messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 250 messages per month on the users alias.OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and
activity. There are over 150 subscribers to dev and over 225 to users.A vote is underway for a logo for OpenJPA, with 15 entries. Information here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/openjpa/logo-contest.html A vote to change the maximum line length for source files resulted in allowing 120 character lines. We do bike sheds too. The community is working well together. Questions from the community are answered promptly, often resulting in a JIRA being filed. Governance The PMC continues to track contributors with an eye toward making them committers, and committers PMC members.
