 We held a vote on [EMAIL PROTECTED] to publish a new patch
 release of Apache CXF.This release is mostly a patch release to fix
 problems and issues (82 JIRA items resolved) that users have encountered
 in the 2.0.2-incubator
 release.

 From an IPMC review standpoint, the major changes are:
 1) Upgraded to newer versions of a couple libs.   No license changes or
 anything.

 2) The NOTICE file has a new format.   We upgraded to newer versions of
 the remote-resources stuff that allows a much more organized and easier
 to follow NOTICE files.   The information is all the same, just clearer.


 For a full list of the issues, see:
 http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12312800styleName=TextprojectId=12310511Create=Create

 The staging area is at:
 http://people.apache.org/~dkulp/stage_cxf/2.0.3-incubator-take1/


 The distributions are in the dist directory. The maven directory
 contains the stuff that will by pushed to the m2-incubating-repository.

 This release is tagged at:
 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cxf/tags/cxf-2.0.3-incubator/


 I've also created a list of the ! files from rat and categoriezed
 them.   This is checked into SVN along with the tag:
 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cxf/tags/cxf-2.0.3-incubator/etc/rat.unknowns.txt


 The vote on cxf-dev resulting in 15 +1 votes:

 This vote will remain open for at least 72 hours.  (probably longer due

 Has the November board report deadline changed?

Yes, which is why I told people about it in October and then again over a

It appears that we have a number of projects to discuss:

  NMaven - mailing list shows steady activity.
  XAP - mailing lists show almost no discussion, mostly JIRA issues and
commits
  WSRP4J - burst of activity during the Summer, nothing since.

The issues do not appear to be the same in all cases.  I had to review the

November 2007 Incubator Board Report

2007-11-12 Thread Noel J. Bergman
Composer (a component container project), RAT (project analysis for
conformance with licensing and similar requirements) and buildr (a build
tool) have entered Incubation.  STDCXX is proposed for Graduation.

Tuscany did not graduate due to concerns over community diversity.  There
has been continued discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED] about the need for diversity.
Tuscany is actively focused on building diversity now, with plans to
re-apply for graduation.

A number of projects are failing to build any community (and to report).  An
e-mail has been sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to discuss their future.

Perhaps the biggest issue for the Incubator PMC is the long-standing issue
of redundant and not infrequently inaccurate project meta-data.  There are
plans to discuss the issue at ApacheCon, but as is often the case, support
tools receive little interest and effort from the community, whether for the
Incubator, Infrastructure, the Board or the Foundation as a whole.



Abdera

Abdera is an implementation of the Atom feed format and publishing protocol.

 * Release 0.3.0-incubating was released with many new features and fixes.
 * Dan Diephouse joined the project as a committer and has been working on
significant improvements to the Abdera server code
 * Documentation for the project has been greatly improved.
 * There are ongoing performance improvements
 * The project is working towards graduation, with the primary remaining
goal being diversity of committers.



=== Buildr ===

Description - Buildr is a build system for Java applications written in
Ruby.

Date of Entry - Nov. 2007

Buildr is a brand new project (see the proposal at [1]), it's just been
accepted in the Incubator this month. Most of the project infrastructure has
been setup: status page, svn, jira, mailing lists. The code grant has been
submitted (and ack'ed), the buildr community has been notified of the
migration and the code import will probably be done during ApacheCon in
Atlanta.

[1] http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BuildrProposal



JSPWiki

JSPWiki infrastructure has been moved over to Apache: the issue trackers and
the mailing lists are now fully operational.  We've also started the process
of getting ICLAs and Software Grants from all the previous contributors who
still hold copyright over the code.

All committers identified in the original proposal plus the mentors have
commit access and are on the private mailing list.

The dev alias has attracted a couple dozen outside members.

The final LGPL-licensed JSPWiki release is almost ready, after which we will
start moving code into the Apache SVN.  This is to minimize having to
maintain two separate branches, one LGPL and one Apache -licensed.

The questions on how jspwiki.org domain and the jspwiki.org websites should
be transferred to Apache have not yet been discussed.



Lokahi

Lokahi is a configuration and management console for Apache httpd, tomcat
and other web server infrastructure.

Incubating since: 2006-01-07

Significant contributions have been made towards finishing the MySQL port
that was begun earlier this year.  A Fast Feather presentation on Lokahi has
been scheduled for Apachecon in Atlanta.


Obstacles to graduation:
   * community - now includes authors outside of the original dev community,
but additional committers are sought. Recent distractions, and the
temperature of discussions taking place across projects on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
reinforced the fact that a larger committer base is needed to graduate.
   * licensing - oracle-only backend is now 95% of the way to an alternate
MySQL backend, and soon to be enhanced with license agnostic interfaces



NMaven

No report.  Part of the Projects in Trouble e-mail to discuss future
status.



Sanselan

The Sanselan Project is a pure-java image library for reading and writing a
variety of image formats.

The autoexport from confluence to our site has been set up (see
http://incubator.apache.org/sanselan/) so documenation can be added soon.

We are looking for images (with no copyright restrictions) that can be used
for unit testing. Existing (private) unit tests rely on copyrighted images
that cannot be used.



Sling

Sling is a framework to develop content centric web applications based on
the idea of modularizing the rendering of HTTP resources.

Sling entered incubation on September 5th, 2007.

Community

   * We had a very active month with adding microsling and based on this
project developping and voting the new Sling API replacing the form
Component API. Currently we are migrating the project sources to the new
API.
   * Sling present at ApacheCon US 07 with a FeatherTalk and a BOF

Software

   * microsling added to Sling as simple entry level framework exhibiting
the mechanisms of Sling. microsling was also used as a proof of concept for
the new Sling API and greatly influenced its evolution.
   * Two contributions of the community added to microsling and Sling:

NMaven

NMaven develops plugins and integration for Maven to make building and using
.NET languages a first-class citizen in Maven.

Incubating since: 2006-11-17

Items to resolve before graduation
 * More active committer involvement. This involves getting a group of
developers familiar with the NMaven internals (both .NET and Java), as well
as growing a larger community of developers who are creating Maven plugins
in .NET.
 * Closer interaction with the Maven team.

Status:
 * Movement toward a release. Updating all the license files, changing the
artifact names to include incubating, etc. This is the highest priority
for the project.
 * There had been some concern among committers that the code was changing
too rapidly making it difficult to attract new committers/patches. We've
slowed the pace of new features and have focused on bug fixes.
 * Mailing list activity has been slow recently, but steady increase of
mailing list subscribers over this period (from 27 to 35).

Plans:
 * Preparing for a release
 * Bringing NMaven in closer line with Maven architecture and behavior.
