For reference, the current list is: * Whoever is president after the upcoming board is seated, State of the Feather * Douglas Carswell, MP Clacton - http://douglascarswell.com/ * David Nalley, VP Infrastructure, speaking about the value (ie, monetary) of the Foundation. I would like to hear a speech from one of the big software producers, and hear their vision about proprietary software contra opensource, where is the future. (a suggestion would be SAP who are very big in europe and seems to balance their use of opensource). It would also be nice to hear a keynote about who are we today, we all know our own projects, but currently ASF consist of soo many projects that I think most of us lost track. Hopefully someone has a overview, and could give us a grouping of the projects, highligting the areas where we grow fast. rgds jan I.

No at hand, but let me see who of my old contacts are still in the german HQ.

A slide with statistics from incubator and statements like most of our new/active projects are around the cloud, with focus on end-users. rgds jan I
Re: [REPORT] Apache River
(To += dev@community; board@ - bcc) Thanks for the River report and the question for the board. The Apache Community Development PMC is the best place to start asking for assistance - while the primary focus is helping newcomers to projects, it's also a place where we have many Apache mentors and Members available. http://community.apache.org/ There certainly seems to be healthy discussion on the dev@ list recently. Is the Apache River community concerned about finding new contributors, or about better organizing work within the project? - Shane Tip: Sometimes, MarkMail is easier to scan list archives: http://community.markmail.org/search/?q= http://river.markmail.org/search/?q= On 5/14/14 2:30 PM, Greg Trasuk wrote: Apache River is a Java-based Service Oriented Architecture, implementing the Jini Specification and Jini Technology Starter Kit originally donated by Sun Microsystems. ISSUES FOR THE BOARD There are no board-level issues at this time RELEASES Apache River 2.2.2 was released on November 18, 2013 Apache River 2.2.1 was released on May 2, 2013. COMMUNITY No new committers have been added since Nov of 2011. There has been some discussion of the project’s health on the dev@ and users@ mailing lists, which has led to an effort to update the project’s build architecture, in hopes of removing at least one barrier to participation. The PMC is curious if there are any Apache resources to aid in community building. Greg Trasuk has requested that the community nominate a new PMC Chair. Discussions on a replacement Chair are under way. The board should expect a resolution to change the Chair at the next board meeting. ACTIVITY Mailing lists and development have been reasonably active in the past few months. 4 messages on users@ from Mar-Apr, and over 150 messages on dev@. Six issues have been reported on Jira and four of those have been resolved.

Hopefully someone has a overview I find this is an excellent idea (well, I just happened to use a couple of almost unknown Apache projects for work and I wished I had known about them earlier, since the one-line description in Board Reports is definitely too terse!) and I would like to see a presentation like this. Maybe not as a keynote, since those tend to be for the general public, but as part of a Community track. I'd urge you to give a presentation about the 'almost unknowns' you discovered. Perhaps research another 10 in the process. I doubt that anyone knows the breadth of the ASF. Your discoveries would likely be eye opening for the audience. '10 projects you've never head of but wish you had'
