Hi Bernd,
sorry for messing up the report requesting a lab with suboptimal timing :)
The timing is brilliant, I just started the report too early. :-)
A couple of fixes :
- Probably labs are 24 if Magma makes its way in (21 active + 1 idle + 2
new = 24)
Actually, there are 23 labs (if Magma is counted), 22 active + 1 idle.
2 of the active labs are new.
1 (orthrus) is missing from the website.
- Added the magma row in "new labs" section.
Thanks, I already noticed that I missed it, but had no time to update.
Obviously you can roll everything back if Magma does not get accepted.
Yeah, but 72 hours have passed later today, I don't think we will need
that. :-)
I updated and unquoted the draft below.

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
DRAFT>>
It was a mostly quiet quarter for the Labs project with two or three
highlights worth noting.
= Labs statistics =
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 total number: 23
o active: 22
o idle: 1
o promoted: 0
o completed: 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".
Another new lab, Magma, was concieved by Simone Gianni. Magma is a
"research about using AOP on the front line to provide an integration
framework for Apache technologies"
= 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.
