Fellow researchers,
see report draft updates inline, provided that Magma is accepted, which
is very likely.
I added a note about the current ongoing discussions, please review.

Fellow researchers,
This is a first draft for the September Board Report.
Of course, Stefano is still in full charge as PMC chair, so he has the
final word on the report and he needs to finally deliver it.
Please feel free to jump in with improvements. Also, I am not a native
English speaker, so please correct any linguistic mistakes.
Thank you,
Bernd

It was a mostly quiet quarter for the Labs project with two or three
highlights worth noting.
= Labs statistics =
o total number: 23
o new: 2
JaxMas (est. 2008-07, PI: Jochen Wiedmann)
Magma (est. 2008-09, PI: Simone Gianni)
o status changes (last 3 months): 0
o active: 21
o idle: 1
o promoted: 0
o labs with commits: pinpoint, droid, vysper, jaxmas
= Cryptography =
We asked every lab for information about whether it includes
cryptographic software. It is still an open work item to complete this
process by recording this information at the right places and issue
notification emails.
= Change to the PMC chair =
On the public list, Stefano Mazzocchi announced his intention to step
down as PMC chair due to time restrictions. New candidate(s) were
drafted and finally Bernd Fondermann was voted as PMC chair candidate on
the public list. A special order draft to change the PMC chair was
brought before the board for your kind consideration.
= New labs =
A new lab, JaxMas, was conceived by Jochen Wiedmann. JaxMas is a "poor
mans JAXR provider for running JAXR based unit tests".
= Droids planning to move out =
Lab Droids (est. 2007-02, PI: Thorsten Scherler) is considering moving
on to the Incubator. Currently, the lab is preparing incubation,
including drafting a proposal at the Incubator Wiki and looking for
a champion and mentors.
We are very excited about that, since providing an ecosystem for
projects on the way from the first line of code until incubation is one
of the goals of the Labs project, and Droids - if successful - would be
the first lab to follow this path ultimately.
Some discussion came up, here and on the Incubator's general list,
about the process how to proceed with labs aiming to become a project's
subproject, instead of going TLP. According to our bylaws, going through
the Incubator is inevitable. And the Incubator surely is the right place
to determine how to properly deal with that.
