In January I reported that the Tiles community has been inactive long enough that it may be time to make a change. In discussions on the dev@ list some committers indicated that they had plans to do some revolutionary work that would be starting in the next few months. We agreed to give the project another six months before addressing the issue again. Those six months have passed and no significant change has taken place. My feeling is that it is time for some kind of change. I had intended to start a discussion about that early this month, but the last three months have proven difficult for me to do much of anything due to workload at my day job. So, unfortunately, the Tiles community is finding out this information at the same time the board is. At a minimum it is probably time to change the project chair. It may be time to consider options such as the attic. It is my intention to start a discussion on the dev@ list this week about the future of Tiles and see what direction the community desires. If desired, I'd be happy to send a special report next month or a resolution for change if something concrete comes up.
There is still one step left in the process to complete our branding requirements. That step is to check the status of the project DOAP file. As noted above, my time availability has been near zero, so I still have not completed this task. Other than that, there has been little activity in the Tiles project this quarter.
