Harmony Podlling Quarterly Report
In it's first month+ of existence, Harmony has attracted quite a bit of attention, and we are now settling down to resolve some of the issues we've identified in the beginning. We have on our website our proposed policy framework to monitor contributions and technology contributions. This policy is in addition to the standard ASF policy and we do not believe that it will cause any concerns. It will be posted for review by the Apache Incubator PMC before it goes into effect, but we're working to get the last nips and tucks done. On the technology side, there's been a slow start, in part due to the contribution framework getting established, but I plan to push hard for contributions now that we're almost done and people can get a sense of how things work. We have the following outstanding issue that I will be talking to the Apache Incubator PMC about - parts of the community have asked that we change our default license for mail list contributions to a license compatible with the GPL, as the Apache License is deemed incompatible by the FSF. It's in our interest to ensure that we can have the broadest participation possible, but also recognize that we wish to balance that with the aspects of the Apache License that are important to us. Expect more on this soon. geir -- Geir Magnusson Jr +1-203-665-6437 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Agila Podling Quarterly Report
Agila has been moving slowly, but there is clear interest with the addition of the Twister project, a pure BPEL engine, and the addition of a new Agila committer, Chris Lim. There are other individuals we are looking at. At ApacheCon EU, we were approached by another workflow engine that would consider coming to the project. As our goal is to build a strong workflow/BPM community, this was welcomed and I look forward to some follow-up It's clear I need to dedicate some additional time to Agila, both in code and community. geir -- Geir Magnusson Jr +1-203-665-6437 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Incubator 2005Q3 Status Report to the ASF Board
Status report for the Apache Incubator Project The Incubator continues to see good progress in a number of projects and their communities, with more projects graduating to TLP status, or to existing TLPs. IP issues continue to be a major aspect of life in the Incubator. We welcome Cliff Schmidt's appointment as VP of Legal Affairs, and look forward to his help. Congratulations, Cliff. Aa number of new projects have entered the Incubator, with a corresponding increase in the Incubator PMC. The Incubator PMC has established the policy that an ASF Member who is a Mentor or Committer on an Incubator project is automatically entitled to be on the Incubator PMC pending acceptance by the Member and board notification. Continued thanks to our manual ForrestBot, David Crossley, for helping to keep the web site built, and to others contributing their time. - 0 - The list of projects in the Incubator is at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/. Here are the STATUS reports from the PPMCs. Several projects are missing, as noted below, and are again reminded.

Status Report for AltRMI Status Report from the Beehive PPMC === [Note: Beehive is currently preparing to ask for TLP status] Beehive did a 1.0m1 incubating milestone release on June 6/2005. With the recent finalization of JSR-181 (Annotated Java Web Services) and its associated TCK, the wheels are turning to get Beehive certified as 181 compliant. The big news, we're in the middle of a vote to graduate from the Incubator to TLP status. We are well poised to do a 1.0 final release should that vote pass. There has been increased traffic on the dev list, and we're seeing ongoing interest from other projects (Geronimo, Struts, etc) in a variety of forums -- a session at JavaOne a few weeks ago was well attended. We are also in the midst of a vote for a new committer. Status Report from the Derby PPMC = [Note: Derby is about to leave the Incubator, and enter the DB PMC] Here is what Derby has been up to in Q2 (April-June). Derby added Tomohito Nakayama as a new committer. [Early Q3 note: two more committers were added and derby-dev is voting on another.] Plans were completed for a 10.1 incubator release and candidate jars were made available for testing and review. [Early Q3 note: the vote passed for the candidate and Andrew McIntyre requested permission from general@incubator.apache.org to make it available as an incubator release.] The Derby community is thriving. Today http://people.apache.org/~coar/mlists.html#db.apache.org shows that the derby-dev list is up to 225 subscribers and derby-user up to 322 (both figures include digest subscribers). There is heavy development activity on both the code front and the doc front. Many code challenges are being worked on via the derby-dev list and the number of Derby developers working on Jira issues has increased to 36 (the number in the derby-developers Jira group). One doc challenge is how to make a DITA stylesheet, which is under the CPL license, available on incubator.apache.org/derby to improve the format of the html documentation. A Derby mentor advised asking the author if he would be willing to license that particular file to the ASF under the Apache License. It turns out the DITA Toolkit team is interested in releasing the Toolkit itself under the Apache license, and hopefully all details will get worked out in Q3. Status Report for FtpServer === Status Report from the Graffito PPMC * The main news in this quarter is that we have expanded the committer base beyond the original contributors with the addition of Oliver Kiessler and Sandro Boehme. * Both are busily working on building support for JCR (through Jackrabbit). * Work is also underway to use Graffito as a native CMS engine in Jetspeed 2.

I doubt this should be discussed with the Incubator PMC in isolation and I think a wider audience is wiser. legal-discuss@, members@ and board@ is definately going to be very interested in this. default license for mail list contributions is also a term new to *me*. Care to explain what that means?? Cheers Niclas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
